So for an upcoming campaign, some major players of the world are an old adventuring party of the main antagonist, who's ruled the world for close to 5000 years.

I wanted each of the characters to have their own flavorful version of immortality going.

The King of the world and party fighter stole an hour glass from the god of death, that so long as he keeps filled with the ashes of the dead, he will never die, by any means.

His trusted adviser and party wizard has created a porcelain replica of his youthful body that he can control while his true body is preserved in crystal.

The party druid has abandoned society completely, living out constant reincarnations, but retaining their mind. They spend all of their time in the form of a lion, as after so many reincarnations, they no longer feel comfortable in their own skin.

I'll be completely honest that i'm looking to take ideas from this thread as i'm still looking for two more sources of immortality for the remaining two party members. They are a rogue and the last one's class will probably be a cleric but as of now it's kind of up in the air.

That said, I also just looking to share ideas for different kinds of immortality you've seen across table top games, as i find them really interesting in general.

With fantasy names for cities, do you prefer having odd sounding cultural names (Alcanar, Solaeth, Palaria) or ordinary English names (Goldstar, Southspear, Westhammer) or maybe a combination of both?

I personally prefer the two-word English names for cities since they sound cooler and roll off the tongue better.

http://www.songofswords.net/

Song of Swords is a a tabletop RPG centered around realistic medieval fightan' with a ludicrous variety of weapons and fighting styles, centered around a dice pool system. It's currently in beta, and can be used for both fantasy and historical games. Kickstarter is happening NOW we are kicking ass baby!

Call of the Void: Ballad of the Laser Whales is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Its combat system is more modern, based in the early 20th century, but can probably handle combat up to the present day.

Now that all classes had an arcana of their own, best/worst UA?

So Samurai Jack is getting a new season, and my group's being pretty hyped about it.

It's got an absolutely amazing setting, perfect for running gonzo episodic adventures that mix genres and themes.

Are there any games out there with a similar setting to the show? Mix match of tech-levels and cultures but with a unifying tone/feel to it so that it doesn't just feel like a random jumble of shit but a cohesive, albeit highly diverse world. I think Gamma World might be a good example of what I'm going for, while Rifts a bad one.

What about a system that emulates the high-octane action feel? Something with great minion/mook rules and that does boss battles well. I can't really think of a good system for this; Too freeform and it feels arbitrary and unrewarding to do over the top cool shit, too crunchy and it slows down the pace and brings down the cool factor.

I don't really know what to call it, the traditional mythology of Britain? There's this vibe with knights and dragons, the classic D&D setting. What is the origin? Where can I learn more about it? I know the Souls games used them.

So has anyone had the chance to play this yet?

I picked up the core book on a whim and I like what I see. I'm going to start a campaign soon and I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with the new English edition.

Also, The Dark Eye general.

PHB has quirks you can give to players and NPCs but what about town quirks? What kind of quirks would make a town memorable? I got the basic ones, like disproportionate number of males/females/old/young, regional accent, talking with hand movements, but what are some really memorable quirks that we can give a town?

Is it always true (relative to ingame lore)? Is it an outright falsehood and clerics are fooling themselves? Pic related, I personally love ambiguity in my religious lore and Kirkbride did a good job of that IMO. Post how you treat Creation myths and general religious lore + the way inhabitants interpret it.

Sorry to break the bad news to y'all, but MTG is going to die in 2017. The community is in chaos, and many prominent figures like Deriums and Brian Kibler left. WoTC just banned cards from Standard for the first time in years, attendance is near-nonexistent at FNMs, and Modern just got the Extended treatment. Price-gouging is becoming more and more toxic, both by speculators (Moat, LED, Library) and by WoTC themselves (Planechase Anthology, Commander 2016, Eternal Masters also before the reprint, but by then the damage had been done. Kaladesh was an absolute nightmare for collectors because having lottery cards in every pack killed the mystique of the Zendikar Expeditions, and a nightmare for players due to stupid sacky insta-win cards like AEtherworks Marvel and Felidar Guardian. The surge in popularity of Pokemon TCG Online was the straw that broke the camel's back for Magic Online, and knowing WoTC, they won't ever revamp it to make it look like it was designed this decade. Lastly, the world is changing, multiplayer gaming is moving towards E-sports, and sorry to say, but Hearthstone is the top dog and Magic won't ever even come close.

Sorry to break the bad news, but 2017 IS the last year of Magic. Sell your collections now before they're worth nothing.

In a house of a godless king,
A dead star will die,
The crystal mountain begins to sing,
And the cyclops loses his eye.

The heavens begin to scream,
As oceans of hate spill in,
The silence awakens the queen,
And two-hundred cycles begin.

In the wake of a beast,
With no head and no end,
Rides the queen to the feast,
All lords knees will bend.

At the eat of the dead,
In the hall of the mouth,
Stairs colored red,
Calls the hole in the south.

The way of the sword,
The time of the light,
The law of a lord,
All end that night.

Out the rend colored blue,
He judges the worth,
For each one there's two,
A hole in the north.

Appraisal of matter,
Priced at the worst,
The words of the latter,
Anger the first.

A stirring of flies,
The toll of a bell,
The dead will now rise,
Evicted from hell.

Two princes of death,
Two legions of souls,
Decay on their breath,
Exacting their tolls.

The end of an era,
At the final turn,
The queen reigns in terra,
And watches it burn.

The race of the mind,
Take the king of nine stars,
They exit in kind,
Healing nine scars.
