You can get millions of people to leave if their current planet is super overcrowded and you promise clean air and free land.

The same way we did it in the US to get a bunch of stupid peasants to farm literally uninhabitable wastes in the great plains, you pay them up front and then refuse any and all responsibility for aide once they destroy the newly inhabited ecosystem and usher in a literally civilization ending natural disaster like the dust bowl.

It worked for Greenland.

Followup: is this a good way to make a horror game truly scary, or does it just make the players feel too powerless?

>>51949791
Explicitly? No. But should pursuits of unconventional solutions be encouraged and rewarded? Absolutely.

>>51949791
If spells count as a 'conventional' method, I agree generally.
Ideally, demons of great power should be defeated by shining the light of the noonday sun reflected by a mirror of pure gold on them or something awfully specific like that.
You shouldn't have to use magic to do it, but it should be a real pain to accomplish. Like bringing together exactly a thousand grains of red sand or something.

Have you looked into those hourlong videos on Youtube that are essentially just the sound of the ocean, the sound of creaking wood, or anything of that nature?
It's not music, but it's appropriate.

I'm assuming you're not looking for sea shanties if this is just background music. I usually just use Spotify and play "traditional (insert country) instrumental music" for my campaigns. I don't know what your group is like but it might be fun to sneak in the pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack in while they're not paying attention

ALL PUBLIC MAGIC IS BANNED.
THE PENALTY IS DEATH.

>>51949608
Why is the magic banned? D&D isn't a setting where casting spells inherently corrupts your soul or has a chance of summoning a bazillion demons if you fuck up. And frankly it's too damn useful.

So the most obvious reason why magic would be banned and the ban could actually be enforced is if it's religious or ideological in nature, and enforcers are either full of holy magic, psions or can reliably disable magic (and if your whole town is within an anti-magic field, a ban might be a waste of time anyways).

Maybe send an inquisitor to the smaller towns surrounding the capital to live like the lord of the town and make sure they don't cast spells under his nose /spoiler/they do/spoiler/

Make them plastic and reasonably affordable.

Around what power level/equivalent saga are you planning to start?

This looks cool. I've never watched much Dragon Ball but I might be able to play. Will it be text or talk?

>>51947567
We're doing 500xp, you can spend max 350 on attributes and max 150 on ki skills to reign it in somewhat. Saga would roughly be closest to Piccolo Jr powerwise I think?

>>51947604
Cool! You don't need to know much since we're basing the game in the setting, but not using any characters or stories from the series so limited exposure is totally fine.

We're planning to do voice, 2 players 1 GM so far, shooting for 4 players.

If I have a creature with both Melee and Mryiad on it, will it gain the melee bonus from the tokens it spawns or is the trigger too late?

If I have winding constrictor and hardened scales in play and cast a hangerback walker where x=1 what happens? The interaction of those 3 cards confuses me

>>51947645
Melee and Myriad both trigger when you declare the creature as an attacker, and since both triggers are yours you can put them on the stack in the order of your choosing.

The bad news is that Melee checks how many opponents you attacked, and the tokens are created already attacking. They weren't declared as attackers, so they don't count towards Melee.

>>51947729
It wants to enter with one counter, but there's two replacement effects trying to apply to that event. You control the affected object (the Walker) so you choose which to apply first. No matter which you apply first, the other one can still apply, so you apply it next, and the end result is the same: 3 counters.

One will replace "enters with one counter" with "enters with one plus one counters", for two counters. The other replaces "Enters with two counters" with "enters with two plus one counters", for three counters.

>Make map
>Put Nations and City States on map
>Campaign always starts with all adjacent entities in conflict
>Decide what each individual conflict is about
>Decide why each side is fighting for said thing

Usually thats enough to decide that matters to a certain group and it helps define the different peoples in my world.

But sometimes I always write down; the perception of others of this group"
Because i think it can help to say "what do people in the setting thinking of X"
Then you can say, yes they are being presented that way, but maybe there are interesting reasons beyond the aforementioned conflict for why people see them that way, or maybe you subvert it and the public perception is incorrect.

If you wanted to go really far, you could make a matrix of every group, and write down what each group thinks of each other group.
Because it not only helps define what a group is like due to how others think of them, but it also helps define how a certain group thinks.
Maybe group X is super Xenophobic, so their perception of every group in the matrix is negative. Or w/e.

I blatantly steal from existing historical cultures. Not really, though, but I look at cultures that developed in the same kind of environment and try to figure out why it developed that way. Also borrow some of the aesthetics, which is course also very dependent on the environment. Then what doesn't work with this fictional culture, because it's inspired by things that only really exist in our world, will get extracted, new things added that are part of my world, until I get something that I can call "original".

Ban everything (including core) that isn't ToB, XPH and maybe MoI.

>>51946166
This person isn't wrong. Don't allow players to take any of the core classes because they're all shit or overpowered and nothing inbetween. ToB is good for heroic fantasy animu style fightan mans.

I can't really say about what the hell XPH and MoL is though.

I should also mention that there is going to be 4 players, all lvl 3, and we are using D&D 5e

>>51945767
>So I plan on throwing zombies as the primary enemies for the party
My immediate reaction is that you need more variety. Even 2 zombie fights in a row start to get stale. Try thinking up some fucked-up plantlife for them to fight. Refluff a bear as a zombie-bear and throw it at them.
Also zombies (depending on number) might be a little easy for 4 lvl.3 players.
How many sessions are you planning for this to go on for?

>>51945927
It's ment to be a fairly quick session, if needed I can stretch it out to maybe 1 or 2 sessions more
