Oh cool I'm not the only one who thinks about this. I would say that gunpowder could have come about earlier than it did. Guns would still trail behind a fair bit due to the need for more reliable metallurgy for barrels but large cast iron cannons probably could have come about earlier due to the strength from their bulk.

I wish I had something more meaningful to add because I'm very interested in exploring alternate histories for the purposes of game design. Though I'm interested in later periods, around the industrial revolution, and how things may have developed sooner or later than they did for us.

Hot air or hydrogen balloons. Maybe airships not long after those.

I've loosly been considered a Lost game with that Vegas setting we came up with.
I have literally no interest in Dreaming.

I am starting a changeling game.

Yeah they did, the Salarians did nothing wrong.

Parallel time. Parallel Worlds. Of course, time and displacement between infinite possibilities would intersect more than I would ever imagine. I appeared in Metropolis. I immediately had no shortage of supervillains to defeat, along with an amazingly belligerent Lobo to contend with. Naturally, Hyde was part of this equation, too. No rest for the weary. No rest for the Destroyer.

Then, I heard some news. Of Gotham City's bat-clad hero…and three other vigilantes seen with him. Robin. Sparrow. Bluebird. Familiar names. Names that would eventually become my own distant history. Or already are.

I don't know what time will do if we ever interact - I certainly don't remember anything like it, and I don't what to know what will happen if I do. But this is one half of Hyde's original world, too. That's why I had to track him down. To stop him.

I never did learn of what turned Matthew into Smile. What horrifying revelation broke him into an inhuman monster. And I learned it too little, too late. Hyde hunted down Matthew, his past self. Broke and shaped him into what he was, despite my efforts to try and stop things from the shadows. Because if I broke the loop, what would happen? The paradox of this 'dual-jump', an unforeseen consequence of my chain, is what created my greatest enemy.

Was this the world fighting back, or was this just cruel predestination? I don't know. I don't know enough about time to unravel its mysteries. I almost wish I took the Eye with me on the way out of the last world.

Finally got around to reading the 39 page Tomb Kings jump. Some issues I found.
>Origins
So the Prince and Priest Backgrounds are 100 CP, and the Golem also. The Priest comes with the extra Magic, and the Golem with the Body Budget, but not seeing the Prince. The ones that are free should say free or 0 CP.

>Undead Traits- Free and Mandatory For All
This invalidates the point of Drop Ins, and should not be mandatory if they want to arrive as whatever they were last jump.

>Scarab King-300
Has a lot of thematic crossover with
>Tomb Swarm
In the Golem Items Section and
>Tomb Swarms
In the Tomb section. I would make the Tomb Swarm discounted to Scarab Kings, or free for a Scarab King who is also a Golem, and give Scarab Kings with a Tomb the Tomb Swarms upgrade for free.

>Golem
Has some issues, like only having half the Perks of other Origins, and the perks are more about the body than about you, The Origin mentions being a Famous Warrior, but the perks are bland and could apply to anyone with a golem body. This needs to be a Bonus Origin, where paying an extra 100 CP makes you a Golem (Prince/Priest/Herald/Necrotect) with the Golem stuff and discounts added on.

>Conduit- 600
>As a conduit, you will not benefit yourself, but you will greatly empower the magics of all friendly magic users within a good distance around your own body.
This feels wrong. If the power flows through him into the surroundings, the golem IS in the area of effect. If it can cast magic, the magic should be enhanced as well as anyone elses.

>Golem Form
So, no human sized Golems are offered, all are huge. Is there a human skeleton in there the golem is built around them necessitates it being so big?

This is how I play every pen and paper RPG except for one game where I became a literal God.
I always end up being killed, cucked, or raped when I decide to be a player instead of GM. Fucking end my life already... ;-;

Half Lich, Half Human, All Cop. That's 200%.

Fiends are the same way.

>>53190491
That';s because the body is a ruined pile of dust and not a body anymore. The name isn't about the power it has, dipshit.

Are you the guy?

>God Tier
Desolate Era, I Shall Seal the Heavens, Stellar Transformations, Coiling Dragon
>Great Tier
Douluo Dalu
>Good Tier
Swallowed Star if that counts as xianxia
>Shit tier

>>53190579
>Douluo Dalu
Kidding me? Desolate Era, Stellar Transformations, and Douluo Dalu are all shit tier man.
I Shall Seal the Heavens and Coiling Dragon are both rad, though.

Grandmaster Strategist is pretty good, despite being Wuxia at the highest. Gate of Revelation and Terror Infinity are both kinda cool too, though not really Xianxia or Wuxia.

Warlock of Magus World is pretty OK, I guess. Not a fan of the whole 'reincarnation' schtick in general.

40k has so many other elements you could explore, but it's always the primarchs. it's the same shit over and over again, and they aren't even all that cool.

Go away

Because fuck you, that's why

>>53190199
Because player, by default, are stupid.
Trust, since I managed to shed my mantle of long time GM and was able to play most of the time, I noticed that I rarely have good ideas - it gets especially bad if it's getting pretty late

Don't look for a reason, I could probably rattle of a long list of stuff, but it will help much.
Players are stupid and there's not much you can do about it

"I had a few other guys help me strip them naked, pose them on barbed wire, douse them with fuel leaking from one of their trucks, and lit 'em up just as the hostiles started coming."

"Fun thing about google translate- it's great for looking up insults. The North Korean infantry got to see their comrades burning and screaming, arranged to spell '엿 먹어라'."

"Or, for those uninitiated into Korean language, fuck you."

"They went fucking nuts. No order, no reason to their attack. We picked them off with no casualties on our side."

"During my court-martial for what I referred to as a Korean BBQ, it was asserted I was a loyal soldier, but a sick fucking bastard."

"In any other war I would have been executed. Instead, they decided to pull me in an assault mech and send me to the front lines. I later found out they had let it slip to the enemy that I had been promoted for my little impromptu cookout."

"I'm the devil to two nations, now. That's fine with me."

"Because I swore on my hometown's glowing ashes that there would be hell to pay."

You imply that in a future where we have neuro-linked battle armour, they wouldn't have perfected caseless ammo?

Training. The zealots might win the battle if they allowed the trained soldiers to retreat once their morale broke, but as it became clear that the zelots would not rest until every soldier is killed, they would have to finish the fight to to the man.

>>53189493
Well, there are two main questions here in my opinion. Have the fanatical zealots faced open combat before? And the same for the soldiers. I would argue the more battle hardened side is going to win, because zealotry doesn't tend to hold very long in these situations.

>>53189557

Let's say both sides have experienced open combat before, but the zealots have roughly a third of the soldier's experience.

>>53188108
Nothing, because it doesn't exist anymore, but it was just another magic the Gathering/WH40k dump that barely had any customers anyway.

Salmon.

>My campaigns are too easy

Get a better DM that can pose you an actual challenge.

Or stop fucking minmaxing and try and make a fun build for a change that doesn't revolve around killing X Monsters as fast as possible.

Either works, really.

>>53188292
>Get a better DM that can pose you an actual challenge.
Literally impossible in a mixed party.
>Or stop fucking minmaxing and try and make a fun build for a change that doesn't revolve around killing X Monsters as fast as possible.
Literally impossible when the game assumes that everyone is min-maxed and people read into how to get better at the game.

Every time someone poses a question like this I get really confused.
I mean...it's D&D. Literally ANYTHING can be changed in the adventure. Even if every single asshole at the table from GM to newest PC is an Expert Rule Lawyer hellbent on taking to the letter every single word in the manual, if there's too many HP, what's stopping the GM from spawning enemies with better gear?
If mages have too many hax spells, what's stopping the GM from bringing in things that force them to choose between taking the easy way out now, and keeping their daily spells for later danger?
If single skill rolls are too determinant, what's stopping the DM from making a single action into multiple rolls over different skills depending on what part of the objective you're doing?
If the PCs are minmaxing with munchkin builds off the net, what's stopping the GM from scaling the challenge to the characters?

It's D&D
The only limit is your imagination EVEN while you follow the rules
You just have (or are) a shitty GM

put a moat full of killer fish around the edges. cover the ground in ice.

Uh, by making it something other than a pit full of sand?

you could have an arena with artificial hills or ponds or any manner of other terrain difficulties and natural hazards. Historically gladiatorial games often took on a theatrical element, so you could have the arena set up for battle reenactments or what have you. you could put traps and stuff too.
