5/10 Got me to respond
An answer is that there is negative expected value associated with it. And when you consider how the concept of the imperium is to as minimally brutal and repressive as necessary so that humanity doesn't die, you must minimize unnecessary negative value.

Rarely.
I try my hardest to get my characters killed in the most boring ways possible just so we don't have to go through a bunch of bullshit "sad" dialogue.

I'm considering running a game "based" (brutally ripped and plagarized) on Sunless Sea. Right down to characters having monikers instead of names - because you don't want any-thing getting your name between their teeth.
What system would you use? I thought vaguely about FATE, since that seems narrative and popular lately. It'll have to be something fairly fluid to account for all the curious things that happens in the 'Neath.
For those who don't know, Sunless Sea is based in the world of Fallen London. Where London fell, both metaphysically and literally, and now lays below the earth's crust alongside five other ancient cities. It's just a train ride away from literal Hell, and demons do a brisk trade.
Think of it like a spot before the underworld of Greek myth. You can't die there - not easily. You get to enjoy all the benefits of being immortal without all the mercies of being Mortal. For example, people don't stop aging - they just don't die of it. Eventually it's considered rude not to ship your desiccated, bandage wrapped husk off to a 'Tomb Colony' where you can rot without bothering the neighbors. And murder is a friendly game between strangers, so long as you've someone who can stitch up your agonizing wounds later. Only those who go to Zee truly die - and even then, there's ways back. Although you may come back... wrong. Memories are just as easy to sell as goods, where sunlight is warm, delightful, addicting - and like any narcotic, evenutally deadly. Best to avoid the trade routes back to the surface.
So, Greek Underworld mixed with a bit of Mythos, and a dash of stiff upper lip.
What system?

To record the Republic's events - it's like trying to sing wax or believe water. You do what you can. The third paragraph buds eyes. The date is fundamentally wrong. The full-stops bite.

Title tells all. I'll start.
>the character is a conman, the idea is that he proclaims himself as an engineering genius, while having subpar intelligence substituted by charisma
>say a merchant caravaneer broke his wagon's axle
>"well sir, it looks like you miscombobulated your wagon's frontal rotating staff. i can fix it easy, but i'd like payment up-front - AND for supplies."
>uses the opportunity of buying supplies from a nearby town to slip away
>later reunites with party and splits the scammed money with them so they don't turn him into the guard
>the paladin inevitable paladin will be impossible to trick, let alone get on board
>maybe do it in a party with no paladin or something
You guys got anything similar?

I've always wanted to do something like a Luchador that's a monk/paladin multiclass or something along those lines, but never got to.
Also, some kind of Goblin tinkerer or just a general inventor, but not someone who goes "hurr durr I make a shotgun in fantasy land." I mean someone who just makes magical items as their main purpose, and is really just there to buff their teammates and deal with knowledge stuff. Doesn't have to be a combat caster.
Two others that I don't think people will ever let me play: Bear Monk, Owlbear Wizard.
>>
I threw together some pregens for a con game. One of them I've been desperately wanting to run in a pulp or superhero game.
The base concept was a young and healthy Stephen Hawking with a gun. The character uses their advanced knowledge of mathematics and physics to shoot people.
>>
>>52235058
Those all sound like shitty characters, either ridiculous meme status or some just some shitty trope that's been done to death.
I mean seriously, why don't you just play a character from your favorite anime or another half-orc barbarian, if that's the sort of characters you want to play.

So, this just happened.
>Playing a 2-shot adventure.
>Trying to rush to get some ritual components together to summon an angelic force to defend a certain city before their defenses are overwhelmed by the force of Evil, demons and the like.
>Our characters had IC ties to the city, because we do actually like to roleplay that sort of stuff, even in short fluff adventures.
>Anyway, we screw up and lose, no angels summoned, city falls.
>GM treats us to the "Bad ending" where we hear about the sack.
>It includes one player hearing about how his character's wife is raped by a zombie under the control of an evil necromancer, because that's apparently how he gets his jollies.

Oh yes. Which got a "Well, you lost. You're supposed to get a shitty ending."

"We're here to have fun, dude. Chill out with that shit, it's weird."
Seriously, I get that most folks don't like stirring up interpersonal conflict but trust me when I say it's better to just nip that shit in the bud as soon as you can in a reasonable manner. If the dude's acting like a dick then tell him, he's probably not gonna figure it out himself.

Tell us of those classes and archetypes that /pfg/ always ignores, yet are surprisingly strong. Like psionics' tactician for boosting the whole party's AC to extreme amounts, the initiating stalker (vigilante) as a great skill monkey and sneak attacking striker, or the Spiritualism hedgewitch with sphere-specific drawbacks and access to nearly every talent on demand.

I have to wonder, how can sneks possible serve as party members? They can't carry loot, they can't fight, they can't cast spells except as still spells. So why do so many parties have them as members?

I'm going to stock up Hell a bit, but I need some creative punishments for sinners.
Stuff like Fortune-tellers having their heads twisted backwards so they can't look forward, or a person who was certain he could do anything through his wit having to roll a boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down just when he neared the top.

Well, snakes have been symbols of wisdom, rebirth, immortality, and healing in a number of cultures all over the world. The best example would be Asclepius, the Greek god of healing. He isn't a snake himself, but he uses magic snakes to heal people and his snake entwined staff is still the symbol for doctors the world over.
