Depends on the setting.

Generally each should have some distinct advantages. Even if one is dominant, unless you give both some degree of unique utility then you're just cluttering up the setting with pointless redundancy.

That is, unless you're doing a superhero setting or similar, where magic, science and magitech are all equally viable routes to the same end. But those tend to focus much less on the setting and more on the particular characters and their unique capabilities, so that sort of foundation worldbuilding is less important.

Personally, I don't think one should overpower the other.

I've warmed up to the idea, but it's always been a pet peeve of mine to have mechs or robots in a setting that's largely been based on a more classical aesthetic or early 20th century.

Shield spell doesnt stop bullets, but hardened magical steel does. This way martials can survive gun slingers, but not mages. Mages can cook martials but can get sniped by gunslingers. Gunslingers can magdump martials but will have to be damn lucky to find somewhere the full plate dont cover before they catch a sword.

I'd say to wait, but if your really want to you could just get some of the basic infantry choices or HQ's that you want, can't go wrong with them. as long as you know what army you want to play that is.

Thats split amongst all party members. But seriously, that's going to be at least 600-1,000 EXP per session at this level and later game it'll be around 2,000-3,000.

That's pretty easy. 1000 EXP paid off over 5 days (assuming break day) that's 200 a day. So 4 sets of 20 push-ups, curls, and etc should be easy enough. Takes less than half an hour.

Rolled 2 (1d10)

It's set in 40kBC, But still sufficiently advanced, Cavemen operating advanced technology.

I'm creating a new deck, as with all my decks, they are named something political.

Sylvala, explore return stax combo-
>fox news, fair and balanced

Nath of the guilt leaf stax-
>TSA, just put it in the bin

And my newest saksia aggro-
>the Republican party

So this begs question who will lead my new idea the oval office deck with some current magic card representing trump. So this begs the question who should it be. The only qualifier is that either lore wise Or effect wise they are parallel. Color is not a concern, ironically

The Reserved List was first published on 4 March 1996, as a response to the protests against *Chronicles* and *Fourth Edition*.

During the years, the Reserved List is changed. The last and the worst revision was in 2010: if this had not happened, probably today we would have seen Masterpieces dual lands!

I know that there is a lot of hype for Modern Master 2017, but I want to remember to all players that, at least until today, the Reserved List is the unresolved mistake.

I hope we will see snow or legendary dual lands before it's too late.

Another players character concept for a roll20 game I'm applying to. I think they look like a swell bunch.

A boy of many talents who is force sensitive and follows the ways of the mandalorians, jedi, a little bit of sith, the way of revan and was the youngest ever imperial grand admiral when the emperor first employed him he was 10 years old and extremely intelligent and a good military tactician he served for a 5 year period after his promotion and was rivaled in military prowess only by grand admiral thrawn himself he hid his force sensitiveness well from the emperor and soon was put in charge of training anti force troops and was gifted with 2 super star destroyers the basilisk and the 5 justices his troops were loyal to him alone he even had a few force sensitives in his ranks. he was of mandalorian decent and is directly related to revan himself as well as several great mandalore's. he was hailed by his men and many others as Grand Admiral Master Darth Mandalore the Revanchist. when the emperor finally found out about his heritage and force sensitivity he ordered his termination by lord vader thrawn and the inquisitors themselves but they failed miserably the last words heard from him for the next few decades was " Don't follow or you may wish the emperors punishment itself upon yourself. after that he was not seen data records recovered upon his return data record reveals that for 5 years after his departure he headed for his home planet that no one but him knew about known as garrison and spent those years training his soldiers to the peek of their ability

after that they put themselves in stasis and waited to be awakened by the droids taking care of the ships when awoken he sent out stealth craft to seek the knowledge of current events he discovered and decided to join with both the mandalorians and the jedi remnant as well as root out the remaining traces of the emperor among the empire assisting them occasionally but focused down on devastating the one sith order. this great man unlike other high military commanders joins his troops upon the field of battle in his mandalorian renovated neo crusader/ crusader mandalorian armor equipped with many surprises he wields a modified light saber pike and both of his ships are loaded with custom troop made basilisk war droid mounts in innumerable amounts no tie fighters are aboard these ships. after his attempted termination he became known as Cabur or Guardian/ protector he is a human age 20

Linky to the one-page dungeon contest that has so many I've never gotten through all of them.

https://www.dungeoncontest.com/opdc-2016

Not an English adventure, it was called "The murder of a baldie in a basement" and involved yakuza, ghosts and sadomasochists.

> Druid who is completely terrified of nature. He respects it, but to him it's nothing but death, disease and predators bred perfectly to kill you in a hundred different ways. He thinks it's his job to protect people from nature, rather than the other way around. He likes domesticated animals and vermin, because he thinks their smart enough to live where it's safe.

> Dwarven warrior who headbutts with his specially designed helmet in order to keep his hands free for drinking. Smashes through doors and walls with his head, may or may not yell "OH YEAH" as he does so.

> Depressed bard who made it big with one hit, but faded into obscurity. He only ever plays the same song, and if asked to try something else gets really quiet and start mumbling to himself. "Kid's used to love that song..."

> Blind Seer named "Eyes no Eyes", there really isn't anything to this one, i just think the name is silly and i like it.

It depends on what you consider believable. There are people on /tg/ who would screech at the map of the Earth with the mountains slightly rearranged. I have never had such problems because I don't ever feel the need to justify a world where gods and magic exist. Pretty much anything can be explained via gods and magic.

>>52058448
Just copy the real world and add magic, steam machines, aliens and anachronistic pirates.

>free energy punk

How does that even work?

>LITERALLY an utopia where everyone lives in harmony with nature, there's no conflict for resources and is clearly spiritually more advanced than our current society, and with self-contained sustainable population
> -punk

What the fuck
The term has officially lost all meaning.

>>52057673
Well, let's assume we want to make -punk matter, we remember an assumption on OP's list is pretty unrealistic:

>The lack of corporation-induced ambition, consumism and money issues

Just because the power is sustainable doesn't mean the plants are. And even if they're not, growth will need upgrades, and a company is glad to spend millions on useless updates if they can make billions telling you those updates are important.

Especially if we accept that the national system breaks down into city-states. Doubly so when the unplugged masses who can't fit into society live a Mad Max With Trees lifestyle huddling around sources of power, stockpiles of "still good" obsolete batteries and charging methods while trying to live free of the constant demand of maintaining a citadel-scale colossus and the roving gangs of technobarbarians who decided it was easier to live off raiding and pillaging these guys and the cities' trade routes.

Basically it's "what if Handsome Jack won Borderlands 2 but was into eco-friendly energy".

>>52056328
OP here, other questions considerations come to mind: In the Zelda example, for instance, Link had to enter due to a rescue, but is it a willful choice of the players, or are they victims of a beast? And scale, How large in relation to the players is said beast?

Magical beasts mean magical intestinal size, easiest way to "handwave" it all. elsewise just do some math.

>what's the tallest/shortest character?
>How roomy/cramped will the dungeon be?
>What are the risks/dangers/rewards of being here?

Oddly enough; Gears of War 2(or was it 3?) pulled off the organ dungeon fairly well with a monstrous tunnelling worm.

>>52056328

I want to run a 'Giant Whale eats the party' type dungeon too but I got nothing real substantial to add. As far as creatures, I'd say you got any other swallowed inhabitants, natural parasites/symbiotes, maaaybe undead or golems? Motivation would be to retrieve something before its digested or to escape, but as far as traps or shit, I got no idea
