Here's my Elf
but the Sprite is a Heavy Recolor off of the over-world sprite of "Kazin" the elf from Shining force II

He has 2 form, Drow and High elf.
Born as a High elf, he only remembers being a Drow.
As he takes up adventuring his connection to Lloth (the spider goddess/queen) begins to fade, along with her curse.
He begins regaining memories of childhood, and has visions of his home town burning to the ground, as he is carried away on the back of a large spider. (This he learns quite slowly however, over a course of many months out of the spider-queens grasp.

The curse can never be lifted fully, but eventually he does regain the ability to be high elf, sometimes...

Runequest 6/the generic using the same system is d100/BRP based like Call of cthulu and does Swords and sorcery very well (you only have to adjust the magic, making it more scarce). BRP or GURPS too, I prefer BRP because it's very easy to improvise anything on the fly and even the more dense player can learn it with a few examples/games (at least the basics).

delinquency wasn't actually as bad as most people think it was, about 90% of all guys over twenty five-ish were probably soldiers in ww2, most of america has a decent education about war due to this, and disposable income was getting higher and higher.

It's time to bring the Communist Revolution!

>>51992495

Smoking and drinking. Lots of it, and whenever.

Rural america was dying out but it was still there. In some places life was similar to the 1800s.

Pre-sexual revolution morals.

A relatively casual outlook on third world war (compared to, say, the 80s).

Racism was as common as you'd execpt, but most of all everyone thought some cultures WERE better than others alright. (applies evn to the past of their own country to an extent)

I would recommend the Game development thread, it probably has people better qualified to test your game.

>>51992860
There is no game development thread, and there hasn't been one since last Saturday.

This is an actual game, with somewhat interesting music. It looks like the picture, which is the first level board.

Tried it out. Neat idea, but to quite frank it doesn't make for a fun game, at least imo and I don't think the core concept can carry a full game by itself. These sorts of puzzles are the ones I try to dodge in games because 95% of the time I get to the point of just not giving a fuck and trying to brute force it.

Be part of a maintenence crew going to check on the colonist on a planet that is being terraformed.

It could be comfy in that you describe some of the landscape but things could turn hairy thanks to the environment rather than having a monster going about.

Or, taking the same idea you could be moving about inside of a giant mega city trying to deliever a package.

If you stat it, players will find a way to kill it. Games devs know this.

I'm want to have most of the monsters be something from fairy tales and so far I have a very small list of possible monsters:

Giants (from Jack and the Beanstalk)
Trolls (from 3 Billy Goats Gruff)
Ogres (from Puss in Boots)
Dragons (from The Two Brothers)

I kinda want to do this, except with a more pic-related vibe. Not so much using straight fairy/folk tales, but run as one.

Magic the Gathering has Cockatrice and a few other free clients. The official one is balls and might get replaced soon.
Yu-Gi-Oh has a free online client and got an official one not too long ago.
Pokémon has an official client that's well supported and probably a few free ones somewhere.

That's the big three. Official ones always means a certain amount of "Either pay or play a stupid amount of time to win".
Disregard Hearthstone, it's a complete shitfest and everyone playing it hates it.

As far as paper goes, you should pick one that you'll have people to play with. Getting into a card game with nobody to play with defeats the entire purpose. Check out your local game shop and see what's being played before buying any physical cards.

Online is definitely viable. Magic The Gathering Online has been around for over a decade and it's only getting better (though it's horribly dated by today's standards). It's only barrier is the entry cost, a flat $10 sign up fee and then more money for whatever kind of deck you want to build.

Hearthstone is free to play with daily quests that reward in-game money to buy booster packs (5 card boosters are $2.99) and has the best UI you'll see out of them all, it's smooth and slick and easy to play but it's metagame is fucking miserable right now.

Shadowverse is another free one and it's popular among weebs but it's longevity is questionable and it's aesthetic doesn't appeal to me personally.

Yugioh has a smartphone app game that's not so bad or so I've heard.
Pokemon Online has the neat gimmick of letting you redeem paper cards online, otherwise you play for cards like Hearthstone.

Also Magic has a few unofficial, third party clients floating around that let you play online entirely for free like Xmage and Cockatrice that are pretty neato. Xmage is a lot like Magic Online and Cockatrice is entirely manual, so you really need to know the people you're playing with or expect cheating to occur.

Ignore everything that's a mtg or hearthstone clone.

It's in regards to overland travel and exploration. Look up the B/X D&D rules.

>so my best guess is that they mean per second rather than feet you can move in a DnD 6 second turn.
You're both right and wrong. It depends a bit on which edition you're playing, but that notation looks like the one used in AD&D, which is in inches on the tabletop (for using with miniatures). One inch equals 10 feet in the dungeon. So 12" means 120' movement per round. But AD&D has 1 minute rounds, even though most people play as if they were the (now) more common 6 or 10 second rounds. I forget if there are rules for increasing movement when you run, but going 2 feet per second isn't very impressive. But AD&D assumes you're doing all sorts of unspoken shit during this time (something that many people find stupid).

Basic D&D expresses movement a bit differently, but uses the same overall scheme. Instead of 12" of movement, it just outright says 120'. That's movement over a noncombat turn though, and covers slower, dungeon progress over a longer period of time. In a combat round of 10 seconds, it's also the maximum distance you can run. Normal combat movement (when not running) is only 1/3 of that. You'll notice that you're moving a lot faster here than in AD&D.

Anyway, 120' / 10 seconds = 12' per second, which matches your assumptions. So your interpretation is a valid one, at least for folks who are running.

This shit never works. Freeform was a mistake.

You talk to everyone first so they're not tug-of-war?

sounds like you're playing with a buncha assholes

when we swap DMing in a story, it's generally at the end of an arc. one person's bit is done, or they're just tired of DMing

If I had to guess I'd say that is a typo and should say "Closest tree to the center"

>>51982444
That's what I thought too.

Get swept up in all the crazy shit happening in the club. All of the vampires bringing their unwitting victims and draining them in the strobe lights, drugs being passed around, bodies and sweat every where (and then blood as well). Depending on the type of campaign you're running, you might kill off one of the PC's in a haze of flashing lights and misted blood, or turn PC's to vampires, or have them go Blade-mode and start fucking shit up. I'm considering them to be the types of vampires in universes like Blade and Queen of the Damned because of the OP image. In which case they need to be seductive and charming, but incredibly dangerous and terrifying once they take their social masks off.

> I'm considering them to be the types of vampires in universes like Blade and Queen of the Damned because of the OP image.
You're almost not wrong. The vampires are a little closer towards old World of Darkness, so a little less marginal image and more subtlety, but generally you got the idea.

Actually, I wanna try and play the night club two lanes. In my mind, it is

A) an open feeding ground for Kindred. The club isn't invite only, so people from the street can and do get in, but "patrons" have exclusive access to private rooms upstairs, where they can take their night's pick and feed.

B) a ghoul breeding ground. The club has a number of employees who distribute, vampire blood as drugs, which, while pretty fucking diluted, still feels empowering and addictive as hell.

The things I have in mind so far are

>If PC's try to actually muck about on the floor, get them really close to being dominated and fed on, play up the atmosphere, and then purposefully fail the contest on PCs resistance roll as he scrapes away.

>Get one of the PCs high on vitae and struggling with abstinence afterwards.

>Have the PCs witness a conflict between a patron and a recruiter over a victim.

>If PC's get really lucky, get them walk in on a feeding Kindred

How does that sound?
