>Every RPG is D&D
Lindy needs to get out more.

>>53264237
Lindybeige has seriously never come across a narrative focused game before? He comes across the most autistic looking one of all time, and assumes this is some kind of revolution?

>>53264390
Not even every game is D&D, every game is D&D played by a terrible group who evidently want something more than a dungeon crawler but still play the game as nothing but a dungeon crawler.

Having cool characters around is fine and not what people mean when they say DMPC. A DMPC is explicitly an NPC that travels with the power, and tends to be overpowered/used as a tool to railroad the players.

Overpowered regular NPCs can also be obnoxious, especially if it seems like they could be resolving the world's problems themselves without the party's help. As long as you keep them from being too overpowered, or at the very least give VERY good reasons for why they can't intervene directly, loads of interesting NPCs are a good thing.

travels with the party*

>>53263728
Use an archangel-type NPC that has enormous power but equally huge restrictions, so they can only intervene when very specific circumstances allow them to, like if they are attacked directly.
Bonus: make the enemies smart enough to know not to attack the angel.
Bonus x2: allow the players to abuse this by sending the angel around corners first.

You want some dragon balls?

Serious question not memeing
Why not use a powerlevel system? Seems fitting for a DBZ RPG. If character A has a powerlevel of 500 and character B has a powerlevel of 1000, character B will take 50% less damage and do 50% damage to character A and also be 50% faster.
This is how that one old SNES DBZ RPG works I think and it's really cool.

First for grenades can't run out of ammo.

Playing games against your cat.

And being able to hide while crawling around wounded.

>>53254607
>Oh, and that other guy today who argued something was ok because the rules didn't say it wasn't
You are thinking of "I can hide even when I can crawl AND NOTHING ELSE."

I have actually come to enjoy SWAG threads for the sheer amount of retarded people in here. It is truly hilarious to watch some people grasp at straws, desperately trying to prove their faulty logic is right, like a ship crew attempting to fix a sinking ship with duct tape.

There is some strange satisfaction in watching the futile struggle. And it goes so well with a pack of popcorn.

>>53254985
Perfect.

It looks like we might actually be able to play bingo

Everyone must be amorphous silicate blobs with no perceivable sex or gender because I cannot trust any other adult human not to make playing a dude/chick weird.

>>53254618
It's just fine. As a trisexual quasigendered trans-Atlantic helicopter, the most fun I have is when I play males.

Do you play a male or female in videogames /tg/? Why?

>“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” The “earth”, that is more known as universe, mundus, or cosmos was chaotic and yet to take form. While “heavens” that is now known to most of the galaxy as “shroud”, is infinite and mysterious, beyond comprehension of puny mortal brains. And there were first creations and inhabitants of shroud: Entities, known more commonly as “Angels”, as direct servants of Creator. Angels (including rogue and rebel ones) and Human souls are sole inhabitants of “shroud”, latter roaming freely upon infinite and eternal realm, while humans creating their own plains of existence within. Others, who shall enter it in full state, will be vaporized or banished back to the universe (if their mental state is strong enough). Though they were first, Creator revealed the intention of plan to create Humans as masters of all creation. This lead to rebellion and Division between angels. In modern eras, those entities provide those, who try to establish communications with them, with knowledge and/or gifts, most often, for certain price. Relations between material universe and shroud remained, with exception of certain times, where most cataclysmic cosmic events took place.
Meanwhile as Universe took its form, as dark era was nearing its end, first stars and galaxies formed. and then “waters under the heaven were gathered together unto one place, and dry land appeared”-first planets, that had sacred mission to harbour first seeds of life. Though Some of them didn’t survive the ordeal, others beared its duty and life began to bloom on uncountable worlds throughout universe in different forms and ways. some of them never evolved beyond bacteria, others evolved as horrid creatures who roam throughout void. And some planets later created a sentient life, numerous races that created vast civilizations. As first seeds of life evolves, the last part in chain of creation took place: birth of humans. [tbc]

>Not modern degraded decaying fleshbags, banished and merely resembling its true nature, but elegant and beautiful shroud entities made as an image of allmighty, assigned as masters of the world. Alongside angels, they were only entities that were created directly by God himself. Even today, as fallen ones, they bear original birthright. Being a shroud entity in its true nature is the reason, of why Humans have strongest psykers in the galaxy with unique traits that are impossible for others to mimic. But also, as they are in truth, alien to this world, are severely weakened, including physically, making them one of the most fragile and frail compared to others. Other sentients, who do not have souls, have consciousness that keeps existing in universe and slowly decays, though several stronger and advanced races avoided this faith by learning secrets to keep immortality beyond death and took various forms and shapes. Examples include modern day void clouds, collective essence of deceased of highly advanced alien races, or spectral wraiths that roam between hostile pulsars. Those who became aware of shroud, tried to flee to it to escape death, but they were altered horribly and became legendary shabanash Humans, however, who are only ones possessing naturally immortal soul, once die, return to shroud in form, that somewhat resemble prefill nature. For sentient non-humans, witnessing death of a human too close can be devastating for their mental state: Once Human Dies, before his soul banishes to shroud, it emits powerful and unique psykic energy during department from body. Standing to close to dying human, can damage mental state of an alien. Some of them never recover. This fact led to development of new tactics during warfare against certain human factions, development of anti-psyker combat masks , etc... Originally, Humans were assigned to work as invisible hand throughout formation of first sentients, secretly guiding them on path of evolvement. [tbc]

>As sentients began to form, first civilizations formed who later began conquering stars. Greatest of species, highly advanced and intelligent, who were (unknowingly to them) were guided by prefill humans to advancement. Those Glorious nations were replacing eachother as dominant races throughout history. Wars for domination were ravaging galaxy. Later some of the First civilizations at their own initiative began uplifting other species to sentience, while sometimes annihilating them due to potential danger. The evolved ones were worshipping their uplifters as gods, therefore, forming foundations of religions of modern alien races. Old ones, thought newer members about agriculture, culture and technology.
>But eventually the PreFall era became to an end by fall of the humans, causing “shroud shock”. “shroud shocks” are major cataclysmic events affecting reality of time-space and vastly altering universe itself. First shroud shock, described by only surviving witness as “Terror Flash” accrued ca 10000 BC. It was seen as vast flash, so bright, that greatest of quasars, were candlelight, compared to it. It wiped out entire civilizations and nearly all sentient life and ones who were in process to become sentient, as set by old ones, formed modern races. It is unknown what caused the fall, as due to fall, humans lost all the knowledge that they possessed and now as temporary mortals, had to evolve and advance themselves, however it locked access to shroud and began era, where humans were locked in universe. Mere fragments of past were resembled in various human pagan religions, reflecting era, when they were guiding other races to progress and prosperity. As main guides of other races now degenerated to modern day humans, others had to rely on their own strength and courage to face hostile universe. [tbc]

myself

The anon above me is a pretty shit DM

>>53249267
I had a DM that once skipped over traveling through orcland as a favor to the players despite several characters learning orcish and most of the players being excited about it. I don't play with people who aren't my friends or mutual friends so I haven't had any extremo autismo DMs.

This is bait. Very weak bait too. I give it a 3/10, enjoy the (You).

>>53245905
What? What makes you say that, I will take responsibility of having created a shit thread or if my question is posed poorly. No really, I don't know what's wrong here. Maybe pic related is too kitshy, I wasn't entirely happy with that either.

Look, maybe to clarify, I was imagining running an adventure, using SW. Then say, I need an argument between NPCs escalate up to a murder in front of the PCs, but I definitely NEED it to happen, and I can't have a wall of bulletproof glass separate the PCs from the scene.

Ignore the thread if I somehow managed to write this all on a shit newfag tier, but I'm not baiting, and surprised at the suggestion.

>>53245895
Listen, OP. You get exactly one cutscene, and that's at the start of the campaign. You're free to describe the actions of players up until that point. If you want to have a murder take place in front of them do it there, then start the game proper. Afterwards, you should just not write plot that NEEDS them to stand by idly while the action takes place, because they won't.

If you must have a murder take place, do it while they are just walking through the door rather than standing next to it.

Anon bait is best served subtly. When you slather that much on in one go it just makes you obvious.

>>53242200
Are you serious? These are actual questions I have. I played my first game tonight. Farmed White Lions a little, got some decent gear, wanted to see what kind of options I had with specializations.

If I'm so wrong about my observations that you think I'm baiting, I guess I need to rethink my first impressions.
