The Mother Of All Encounter Tables, plus Wilderlands Of High Fantasy random ruins.

>>53019640
Perilous Wilds is pretty good for this kind of thing

it has a good random locations table which can be used to create places for the PCs to come across when exploring the wilderness

even if you're not playing Dungeon World it's easy enough to use on its own

>>53019640
I Really hope you are not putting your players in a white box encounter, as in "the two sides start to fight each other immediately until one side is killed" every single session. That shit gets boring quickly.

Abiogenisis's Birrins are pretty neat - he's got a few writeups for their civilization and tech.

Prehistoric sea-life like the Dunkleosteus and the Helicoprion are also pretty fucking cool.

Speculative paleoart in general can bring a whole bunch of cool shit.

>>53018600
I prefer left, but right is fine too.

>>53018600
i can read both

>>53018600
I read the top face of all my other dice, why would I want to switch to reading the bottom? Left is best.

So, Luther Strode: Had to go back and change it a bit due to reflection and indecision. I picked up the Jumper's Job and Red Handed Faith drawbacks, and swapped out Ways of Eros for Chaining Cain. It really didn't change anything of the build or my stay, aside from coming across more disciples of Cain than I otherwise might have. Which gave the would-be Samson more chances to screw with me.

Moving right along...

Jump #319: Seven Deadly Sins
>The Tower: An abrupt change, perhaps leading to a new lifestyle and enlightenment.
Several of my companions occasionally gripe about the whole 'you were an evil vampire' thing.
I'll give them a reason to gripe.
>Location: Free Choice
>Race: Vampire (-100)
Seemingly one of the last vampires, considering they were almost all nuked not too long ago.
>Identity: Fugitive (-100)
Well, obviously if a vampire shows up and is playing up the part, they're going to bring the wrath down on themselves.
>Drawbacks: Punching Ban (+200), A King's Burden (+300), Traitor (+300)
Well, this is about typical, I suppose. If I take damage, I REALLY take damage, and thanks to A King's Burden I am going to be taking that damage more often than I'd like. And it turns out the vampires aren't as extinct as I expected... and they pretty much all hate me. What a joy!
>The Next Generation (1400)
Hm, well, at least now I can impart a hefty number of perks onto others via blood donation.
>Surprisingly Classic (Free, Vampire)
WHAT IS A MAN?! A miserable pile of secrets! But enough talk.
>Darkness Fears Not Light (1300, Vampire)
Granted, I've got perks that make me a daywalker, but having a backup to keep direct sunlight down to the level that an albino human would suffer rather than turning into a pillar of ash. The corresponding decrease of other vulnerabilities helps as well.
>Till There's Nothing But Bone Left (1100, Vampire)
Oh hohohoho! If you'll excuse me I have a philosopher's stone full of trillions of Dark Eldar souls to consume. I'll be right back.

And the thread's Jump topic iiiiis.

>>53017945
Batman can't testify in court since he's technically a vigilante and viewed as such. Unlike Superman or Flash or whatever who is legit just recognized by the public as a straight up superhero. Also because for some reason the legal system keeps throwing Joker into Arkham.

I mean I know Batman could just kill the guy and get it over with, but that just completely goes against what Batman stands for. I think more responsibility lies in the judicial system. Batman keeps handing the Joker over on a silver platter, they don't have his oath of not murdering people and yet they keep thinking it's a fair, just and good idea to throw Joker into the insane asylum or prison. Honestly it's not even corruption, who actually wants the Joker alive?

>>53017950
You could also get someone else to kill him though. It's not like he's especially resilient. Or you could penetrate the law enforcement of Gotham and shoot him or get him convicted for the Death Penalty that way.

>>53017918
That's mean but I like it.
I'll also teach Bane, just because.
Maybe the Joker too. He's just too skinny.

>>53017923
That sounds super fun, actually.
>Rip and Tear 2: Electric Boogaloo

>>53017967
See above.
Anybody else in Mahvel or DC that needs to become a Musclewizard?

The Hercules Method, from the Luther Strode series.
It's a bunch exercises and meditation techniques to give your mind better control over your body, but it also has a tendency to turn people who use it into berserker killing machines.
The better you are, the stronger the urge seems to be.
Cain (from the Bible, father of murder) developed it after killing his brother.

It turns you into a total badass and gives you some neat tricks on top of the super strength and speed and stuff. Turn your muscles into a bulletproof vest! Unbreak your own shattered spine! Push your disemboweled intestines back inside! Heal without scars or permanent damage! Slay armies! Live forever!

Once, I accidentally took part in a 30 people slav brawl equipped only in a cheap scooter helmet and took only minor damage

>>53016853
I have severe emetophobia.

>>53016895
you have an aura of passivity that extends 10 feet from your body, its stronng enough to deescalate major conflict(murders, rapes) into minor ones(assault) and completely stops minor conflict.

you can turn the effect on or off but have no control besides that, you are resistant to the effect of your own powers but far from immune.

1. That sounds really fucking retarded, and is most likely an excuse for magical realm shenanigans.

2. Wouldn't happen, xenophobia is a thing.

But who will fuck the dragons?

I've never been a big fan of big dungeons. Things always take longer than you expect, and dungeons with more than a couple dozen rooms can grind on forever. Personally, I like to pick a theme and build around it. What was the dungeon in the first place and what is it being used for now? Just off the top of my head...

Maybe it was originally a shrine / base of operations for a militaristic cult that was abandoned after new construction hit an underground river and flooded significant portions of the dungeon. Now, a whole host of nasty critters have laired there, but the main force at play is a tribe of troglodytes who have grown increasingly bold in raiding the surrounding countryside for plunder and food. In addition to livestock, they have a handful of peasants housed in cages, awaiting the slaughter.

The main threat to the troglodytes is a giant slug, which they carefully avoid. It blocks access to the deeper, more sacred parts of the shrine, where, past armored double doors, undead and magical traps protect the relics of the cult. This is where the true treasure lies.

As for the cult, it was locked in a secret war with a holy order, which sought to eradicate it. The flooding came at an inopportune time for the cult, when it was beset and could not leave itself exposed. Thus, it abandoned the flooding shrine, intending to return with greater forces to reclaim their base. But before that could happen, the holy order decimated their ranks, leaving the survivors to scatter and hide themselves among the populace. But a handful of cultists still reside in a nearby town and keep an eye on the area. They will likely try to ambush the weary PCs, when they depart from the dungeon with their riches.

So at this point, the dungeon pretty much populates itself.

>>53016531
The fact that you're even using dungeons leads me to believe you'd be interested in OSR.
In that case, you need Wander Monster tables (to penalize poor time management) and traps that act like puzzles.

Normally I'd refer you to /osrg/, but some blowback from /pfg/ stirred everyone up and we spent half the thread bickering over a chariot axle, so...
maybe wait 'til the current /osrg/ dies to go check it out?

>>53016531
Print it out and use paper to hide the rooms. Don't expect cartographer players.

Dumb even by 40k standards, yes. IG, even the better regiments, aren't worth shit.

>>53015212
Yes

They call it the Sisters of Battle

>>53015212
Pretty dumb. At that point they would have to be important enough to not die, and at that point they're probably an Inquisitor Retinue

Not much because they're already there

58KB, 728x1030px

>>53013219
Cause I don't browse /a/.

Which means I saw it here.

So I'm looking here.

Thus the heading being stuff about Centaurs in general.

I mean, I could have slow rolled it and just said "post centaurs, and done so for a bit, then samefagged farther down asking about the pic I wanted, but I feel like that shouldn't be necessary.

>>53013633
So how about you ask /a/ because they have a broader base of interest and can find you the actual page, where as /tg/ only has an overlap.

reposting from last thread- what are some chaos units or abilities i can use to buff up nurglings that isnt morbidex twiceborn?

Pregnancy is basically one of the oldest human states and oldest tropes in stories.

Everyone knows all the signs, because it's basically inherent to being human to recognize these things.

Even in the IRL, if a girl throws up once in the morning people start wondering if she is pregnant, even if she is obviously sick.

>>53011349
Enter google.
Type "early symptoms of pregnancy".
Choose some that aren't obvious.
Reference them in general terms to that player, initally related to other events.
Then again later when there's nothing that could obviously have triggered them.

>>53011349

Morning nausea and abdominal pains.

There isn't much of a way to hide it. If you say "you wake up and feel nauseous" then someone is bound to say, even if just as a joke, "lol she pregnant!". You could try to smuggle it in at an opportune moment, like they eat something at a tavern that you described as shitty and unclean.
