I like the Eberron approach!

The world might be Monotheistic, or Henotheistic, or maybe Polytheistic. Nobody knows because divine magic, although real, does not have a confirmed source!

I'm not buying the HV relationship. The WotR one makes an abnormal amount of sense though.

How would you run a game about reincarnation?
Have you ever played a game featuring reincarnation?
For the D&D spell, does the PC just leap back up as a new race, or does there new form arrive, flooded with new memories of their old life?

I was considering a game where the players are reincarnations of previous heroes who faded into obscurity. The heroes of old's foe has also returned, so they need to seek their old selves out so they can remember how they defeated the Bad Guy last time.
Does that sound interesting?

I like the idea of evil reincarnation.

Heroes come back as villains.
Villains come back as even more villainous villains.
>>
>>52126703
Reincarnation is a nice thought for someone who's grieving, but it simple doesn't work in a practical sense.

Let's assume it's true for a moment as a thought experiment. If reincarnation is true and everyone who is alive today was alive before, how can the population ever be increasing?

If you try to imagine the mechanics that would be required for reincarnation to work, the whole theory falls apart.
>>
>>52126793
Mythologies that include reincarnation often have souls entering and exiting the cycle of reincarnation.
Or you just have a set number of souls and a lot of people born without one.
Whichever make for a more fun setting.

How dangerous would electrified rain be to a modern town? Say, this "electro rain" were a regular occurrence country wide, and only the rain water itself is electrocuted, what kind of measures could be taken to keep the town and it's people safe? What could be some advantages and disadvantages it could bring to a country?
What if this were to happen long enough for evolution to take place? What kind of wildlife could spring forth from this?

Rubber boots are a hot commodity and most, if not all, shoes are made with rubber soles forthis exact purpose. People in rainy areas set up large metal contraptions to collect the electricity. Most insects would probably die or instinctively do things for electrical safety during rainstorms.

Fuck-tons of Eels.

Everyone probably drinks eel blood because the water is still electrified.

So many damn eels they overfill the water, So boats are irrelevant.

Leather-making is extremely favoured however.

Has anyone noticed a Stranger Things or TBBT- influenced influx of newbies and normalfags into RPGs? Is it overall positive for the hobby to be in the media spotlight?

After having no real life TTRPG group in a fucking decade because "hurrr, we grownup now", I got asked today to DM an introductory D&D game for some normie chick that got excited about "that game the kids played in Stranger Things"; she is friends with an old friend I used to DM for. Other people in the group would include my friend's gf and the chick's bf, both vanilla normalfags, and frankly I don't feel like this will end well.

This whole "omg I wanna fight the demogorgon!" thing... I don't think there's a real interest and wish they'd just let us geeks be geeks amongst our own.

if there is no influx of newblood the well runs dry. People will take many different paths to the same destination, you can't fault a person by how they get here.

Help shape them in to good players instead of being a jaded pessimist. Unless that's too difficult for you, in which case I'm sure you could always return to not DMing. Only you know how much you enjoyed the last decade.

The world is an enormous series of caverns so deep underground, the surface is believed to be nothing more than a legend.
32 posts and 7 images submitted.

>>52125161
This is aided by the giant penis monsters that patrol the caverns further up, condemning explorers to anal rape.
>>
In these caverns light and air are rare commodities. Towns can come and go based on the whims of volcanic currents from deep below.

The most stable communities are nomadic peoples, having made careful maps of the air currents.

The lower you go in the caverns the less likely you are to find air but the more likely you are to find treasures and riches as you stumble across ancient ruins and raw minerals.
>>
>>52125220
There is one known larger area that is, essentially, the closest thing one can get to a stable utopia for life in terms of air and general stable cavern structure, however civilisation was lost when it was invaded by murderous subterranean beasts that have made it their domain ever since, exploring outwards to gather food and material before returning to the old ruins to breed.

>>

At that point you might as well run Gisela or Jor Kadeen.

>>52124216
Responses Jhoira. Have plenty of instants. Suspend everything that's not an instant. Your turns are Draw Go other than possible combat step. Your opponents' turns are really active. Timebug/Timecrafting/Clockspinning to drop a card out of suspend RIGHT NOW or keep it hanging there until you need it.

So I'm running a published Savage Worlds Interface Zero 2.0 adventure (pic related) for a new group. I have experience DMing (Pathfinder) for a different group (everyone had a blast), but it was a sandboxy hexploration campaign that was more combat than roleplaying. I found an adventure that had good reviews and seemed within my comfort zone and familiarized myself with it, only to find when I met up with the group they told me they were interested in more roleplaying and politics than combat. One player has rolled up a Fantastic Mister Fox-esque grifter and another seemed really interested in exploring how disenfranchized regular working-class people must feel in a society dominated by designer babies. There are two rp-heavy girls in the outfit who made a couple of dumbass punk bffs (that's written in a character sheet) who don't like authority. There's an android hacker who was socialized in a Wild West VMMORPG. I told them that was outside of my wheelhouse but that I would try.

So the premise is that the PC's are sent to investigate an abandoned, half-undersea military base for cancer-research on sharks there. Of course the base's security hasn't shut down, there are feral shark muties swimming around in the water, and then there are also terrorists who try to make off with an old nuke from one of the subs and blow up cyberpunk Portland.

So the question is how I can add some social drama into the mix here and tailor it to the PC's expectations.

I thought I might insert some feuding tribes of shark hybrids (and/or sapient base security robots), which have sprung up (and decorated) different portions of the military base, and the PC's have to navigate through their social dynamics to get to where they want to be.

But I'm much more interested in seeing what /tg/ can come up with. Hit me.

Just to clarify the player's don't expect *no* combat at all, necessarily. They're just expecting it to be a smaller part of the mixture than this adventure would deliver.

Personally I'd tell these thespian types to fuck off. This seems to be the trend anymore with online players. There's a trend to deem anyone that wants to focus on mechanics or combat "murderhobos" -- like that's a bad thing. All these failed drama school kids have flooded the hobby and are pushing the improv-acting thing over playing the actual GAME.

"I just want to get into my character and explore their feelings and desires. I need to understand my characters motivations for hacking into the terminal and retrieving the corporations data. Here's my 4-page character background and I need you to incorporate all of it into my game or else you're a shit GM."
