Should've included it in the OP.

Post your story OP.

>>52364368
Neat I guess, generally the biggest factor for new characters is that they don't turn to uncooperative edgelords.

Mine was a CN human rogue that got kicked out of his village for being a theif. Still not learning his lesson he pissed off a rich noble that min/maxed his asshole class and he was left for dead and hanging far away from the town. A Dwarven clan leader saved him and he spent the rest of his teens with him and the city helping out here and there mostly as a scout/messenger. After some time he found out the dwarves were building a repeating crossbow and it was "a big deal", so he stole them and set out to sell the plans, but halfway through he pussied out and in revenge the people he was going to sell them to razed the village. Most of his newfound Dwarf family was alive but he started adventuring to not have to face them for what was bisically the death of their clan.

there seems to be correlation

Let him. Make sure it's fucking hard to be a female soldier.
Might make an interesting game, but this guy doesn't sound like actually interesting person, so I have my doubts.

>>52363224
Adventures by definition are people that are living on the fringe of society, so its fine. Just make sure people she faces the proper social shaming that would realistically occur

>>52363224
Does he arguments it somehow or is it just "waaah, I wanna be a chick!"? Just say "no" to him man, if you're a GM you have a right to do it. Tell him that pretty much everyone would give him a hard time in such a setting.

I can elaborate on some of these, but I've told them before.

Uncharted worlds is pretty neat looking.

Traveller. It has different types of FTL rules modeled after several types of popular FTL depictions so the GM can pick the type of FTL that they want to be common in their setting, and all of its background "jobs" are generic enough that they can fit in basically any sci-fi setting.

Rules for alien creation are also pretty simple.

While Traveller isn't too tied to the Third Imperium, I would say that some of the rules do have certain assumptions.

Basically, no FTL comms, so information travels as fast as ships can carry it, which is 1 week-per jump. There's also a central government that's way over there, but due to the communications lag they're pretty hands off "Pay your taxes and don't nuke each other" types. Also, said government maintains free trade across all it's starports.
The chargen also tends to produce a group of firefly-esque, washed-up veterans, but that's easily changed.

However, cause Traveller is pretty modular, you can easily change things that don't make sense in your setting. For example, I'm pretty sure the trading rules are designed around the communications and travel assumptions above, but those are easily stripped out if you want to use FTL comms/Different Drive types

Somebody discovered the secret of immortality.

Everybody wants it.

I don't play video games so apologies if that's the plot of whatever

>>52360084
Unfortunately you will be to some extent or another. The only reason that situation would happen with any beleivabilty is if there is something that all the armies want in that location.

>>52360152
That's the plot to a million things, video games included.

>>52358291
Advanced Arms didn't get much of a change. Most of the stuff was changed last version. But regardless, here it is.

>>52355813
When you fart in them it automatically absorbs all the sounds and smells

Auto-amputation coupled with pain-killer auto-injection in case of breach.

>>52355813
possibly things like being able to adjust colors, pattern, and be truly one-size-fits-all?

Otherwise, from there, I think you start to find features would get into how much protection might they afford and you have the seemingly weird phenomenon where ordinary citizens of the future-space running around in what would be skin-tight, impenatrable power armors by today's standards.

Also, an extension of comfort factor and the one-size fitting all, but perhaps space-future clothes might become sophisticated enough to loan support to the body, encourage good posture, and all that?

>>52354534
Tucked away in a far corner of the world a multi-climate large continent exists in a state of elemental imbalance, leading to the possibility of incredible feats thought impossible elsewhere.

>>52354534

Most magic comes from elemental, fey, or demonic bloodlines, or pacts with elemental, fey, or demonic entities. The rest comes from runic tools, armor, and weapons.

>>52354534
Instead of physically manifesting, a few of these beings have chosen to incarnate themselves within the bloodlines of certain people, forming powerful empires ruled by wizard-kings.

>What's your favorite OSR setting?
I love using the AD&D cosmology and packing it in with a lot of real-world mythological powers. I'm not a fan of D&D gods so I exclude them generally.

Sadly I've never been in a game where the players get to a high enough level to travel the planes though.

>Question: What's your favorite OSR setting?

The Monks of Cool, whose tiny and exclusive monastery is hidden in a really cool and laid-back valley in the lower Ramtops, have a passing-out test for a novice. He is taken into a room full of all types of clothing and asked: Yo, my son, which of these is the most stylish thing to wear? And the correct answer is: Hey, whatever I select.

>>52329580
Spellblade.

Because it can do everything. You wanna use your sword? Go for it. You wanna use magic? You can. Fuck limitations.
