Actually I played Trail of Cthulhu first, which I guess is kind of odd considering that of the two already fairly sidestream systems, it's the less known.

Nothing really spectacular, played a near-homeless detective drowning in late child support payments and demands for alimony three months overdue looking into a suspicious death with glaring breaches of police conduct that the coroner had been way too quick to rule an accident and 1PP was way too eager to forget.

Game fell apart just around the time the party had started to come up on solid leads because the GM just kinda vanished. Guess he went on vacation to Sarnath.

My first experience was just when I decided to get into tabletop RPGs. I searched the net for an RPG that interested me and wasn't too difficult and I settled on CoC since I liked the setting, Lovecraft and everything. It was a good first session and it's been fun playing it since.

First Cthulhu game I played was CthulhuTech. Not recommended. But it (and the Arkham Horror board game) helped light the already sparking flame of interest in all things lovecraftian, to the point where I now even wrote my own system! Well...okay, I expanded and modified someone else's system. Just look up "Cthulhu Grim" on RPGGeek.

The existence of the Emperor is heresy. He's an Atheist but his people worship him.

>>51483574
>doesn't like torture, torment, or suffering
yes he does

Read Liber Chaotica Nurgle. He loves spreading gifts and warped kindness to his followers, but he also loves watching them suffer and break (mentally) under his gifts. One of his primary domains is despair, and most of his followers only go to him out of absolute fear of death.

I would use praedor but its in finnish

Planescape.

Damn son. Str 6 seems shit though.
Like that's a hefty negative modifier.

Con 5 is worse, but look at her skills + INT 17, CHA 16. Perception 97, Deceit 93. She ain't going to be needing to ever fight anything.

Those Elves are sexy and cute at the same time! How does that man do it?

Question for y'all: why do we not see as much Medium, Spiritualist, Mesmerist, or Occultist homebrew as we do Kineticist? All those other classes are also pretty ripe for brewing and could end up pretty neat

We were on page 7, you dolt.

>>51482242
Losing the game is a state-based action, there's no possible way you could get this spell off, even if you could make it instant, as a response to reaching a life total of 0.

The only way you could kill someone with this care would be if you had an effect that prevented you from losing the game, such as Platinum Angel.

>>51482336
Ok, but if in a multiplayer game if another player is at zero life will it bring him back?

This.
Unity Duty Destiny as a creed.
A would-be god who planned his eventual demise and counteracted it.
Masks which if destroyed would affect all of reality.
Said storyline is within the time-span of 100,000 years.
Grimdark elements such as:
People getting sliced in half.
People mutating themselves to serve their real god.
Another god who went rogue and started enslaving people.
A mask which cursed a god with eternal life and all other things in close proximity would become alive... cursed to hear the thoughts of even the smallest bacteria.
All makuta purged their inner morality and mutated their bodies into horrible creature forms.
Said real god is their entire universe and if they fail he dies.
They save him of course.
And then it goes full gurren lagan.
I just told you the silmarillion parts.
Here is the link about said god.
https://youtu.be/9SgQAUBglJE
It also has kaitas which are like fusions but practical.
This entity was formed between takanuva and makuta.
Takanuva is the toa of light and thus required to "light the path".
Makuta wants it to remain his domain...
Shadow.
Via life giving fluid (Protodermis) every thing in the bionicle universe is made of it.
Energized protodermis being the most powerful but dangerous.
Said being is controlled by takanuva until it is crushed.
Said beings spit apart leaving makutas mask on one side and takanuvas on the other.
Takanuva is of course resurrected.
Makuta as well but during the inika storyline.
Makuta teridax hijacks the great spirit robot
(40 million ft.)
And sends the mask of life (Now containing mata nui himself) to bara magna.

Repost from Last Thread,

Whats the best non-magical solution to a theft alarm on a PC's belt pouch? I'm looking for a way to entice my party's rogue into stealing my coins, but I don't want him to get away with it.

>>51479489
Venomous Snake in the coin pouch.

Thanks m8 haha

The Difference Engine is often credited/blamed for starting the hole thing:

It's possible. It just wouldn't do shit. Legendary literally only matters on permanents

>>51477085
You could slap it on but the problem and questions become how does being legendary affect the spell. Can there only be one legendary spell on the stack? If you cast a legendary instant and try to respond to it with another legendary instant does it counter one of the instants because of the legendary rule? That doesn't really make a lot of sense and would just cause unnecessary headaches.

That's what, thread number six on this topic, just this morning? I guess they must be relevant, with how much they're triggering the 40tards into giving them attention today.

PETA's been a fucking joke since their inception. Remember when they stopped trying to get people to stop eating lobsters? IIRC several groups bought mass amounts of saltwater lobsters, only to release them in freshwater rivers.

The better question is can we fuck the fish?

There will be some people who want to study them since biological and cultural differences are amusing and will be cataloged.
The military will rethink naval warfare since merfolk now hold a stupid advantage underwater.
Businesses will want to exploit them for a profit somehow, they'll figure it out.
Some groups will want to uplift them closer to our tech level, probably the companies who can now drill deeper for oil and the like since there's undersea people who can build and maintain the pipes without expensive diving equipment
And then there's everything that comes along with thoughts like >>51474715 including porn, magazines, studies, and people going to the beach to fuck the fishgirls/boys.

Well I for one would never go in the water again

When he said that his previous DM used to fuck him over, that should have been a red flag. I've never seen the amount of salt this guy brings to the fucking game, holy shit.

Sounds like a standard drood to me. Not used to human society, much more at ease killing everything as a bear.
