Last time I'm going to be posting this without being specifically requested to. Don't want to become That Guy. Plus I'm working on some new stuff anyway...

It's done. The Vampire Monster Manual. 108 pages worth of generic NPCs for you to throw at the peons who show up to your games. I mean the player troupe. Whatever.

56 Clan vampires, 18 Bloodline vampires, 17 ghouls, 17 other supernaturals, 29 mortals, and 23 animals. A total of 160 NPCs, suitable for any chronicle taking place in the modern day.

Remember that these are meant to be generic things to throw at your troupe, NOT a replacement for hand-crafting a character for your chronicle yourself. The Prince and Primogen and so on of your main city should be made to your specifications. But when your chucklefuck players decide that, no, they don't want to stay in Boston, they really do need to go over to Worcester for God knows what reason. Or start a fight with the pizza delivery guy that they themselves called over to their lair. Or whatever.

Enjoy!

THIS IS FOR YOU, /TG/. I DID IT ALL FOR YOU.

They featured as antagonists with strange motivations my players couldn't fathom.

It didn't matter about themes when the players were just trying to stay alive.

Nope, too dense. INT: 1, WISS 6, CHA: 1

>>51402804
I would say no, I think they would be denser than water thanks to their chemicals and shit

Unless yes is more fun

>>51402804
I don't think they would, too dense

All I got.
I love this stuff. Non-humans doing a mediocre job of pretending to be human can be both hilarious and terrifying.

I'm working on a campaign all about this.

Don't sicc two dire wolves on a level one party who has never played the game before.

I would just say that, "no plan survives contact with the enemy." Whatever story you've thought up for your players is going to change at least a little as you play with them, and that's okay.

Plans will always derail massively, unless your whole group is anxious about doing anything (in other words, new)

That's... not what happened... it was retarted but that's not it. *Took me 5 seconds on google to fact check that*

I guess that's why humans during the DaoT ruled the galaxy not the Eldar who cared more about snorting space-heroin off each others cocks.

Oh wait....

>>51401182
The only source to Eldar superiority is their own claims.

Meanwhile humanity made the same claim, and has now demonstrated military superiority in the form of having a former army of planet killing automated abominations.

this board would be a much better place if people weren't scared to try anything but D&D

>>51401022
You can't.

>>51401022
Play Savage Worlds instead. It's like if someone took a look at GURPS and tried to put it on the level of ease of 5e. It actually handles most Anime stuff really well. Super Powers Supplements, and the Ninja Supplement will be of particular interest to you.

Short of that, Barbarian and/or Monk Archetypes would work.

Try finding a book called "Fragment", by Warren Fahey. It's about zoologists that discover an island whose ecosystem has evolved independently from the rest of Earth's for the past four hundred million years. Lots of very dangerous, very nasty creatures. One of the big name ones is the "Henders Island rat", which if it lives long enough grows to become a "spiger", for spider-tiger. They're fucking terrifying.

This is a Dragon Spider, all the power of a dragon with all the horror of a giant spider. Do with it what you will.

Look up something on Goblinpuncher called the book of Tigers, it's exatly what you're looking ofr and then some

I had a pirate-themed game session once. Made up some hardtack, salt pork, dry peas, and grog for my crew.

The living historian/larper in me loves this kind of schtick. The realist makes me want to know why you hate your friends.

I sailed on an 18thC ship for a short 2 week voyage. Even with the occasional bit of pickled veggies/preserved fruits, that diet is miserable. pic related

What is a Tiefling actually supposed to be like? If I think about it the first version makes the most sense to me and the other two just make them another trivial race. So one of your ancestors was unfortunate enough to get shagged by some sort of demonspawn. You are born human looking but as you grow there are STRANGE THINGS about you like you growing points teeth or tar-black eyes or having skin that is really hot to the touch.
I mean if are already born with Horns and Tail hat exactly keeps your terrified parents from throwing you into the next fireplace or drowning or shit which seems like the sane reaction to OH GOD BERTHA WERE YOU BEHIND THE SHED WITH THAT O´MALLEY BOY AGAIN I TOLD YOU GINGERS HAVE NO SOUL AND NOW LOOK AT YOUR BABY?!
And even if you assume that the society they live in is less xenophobic against them, wouldn't a Tiefling try to avoid the Stigma of being associated as Demonspawn and trying to pass off as a human? If there is a Church of people with twitchy SMITE-ing fingers and I am boy with a pair of horns wouldn't I saw them rather off and try to look more like John Doe the most boring and normal-looking Shepherd this side of the kingdom?

PS: Its nearly impossible to find a Pic of a Tiefling who tries to pass himself off as human. Or a creepy looking human with just enough OFF about him to make him look creepy?

>What I am trying to say is, do Tieflings as a race make even sense?

They made sense in their original context, where they lived in a multi-dimensional city and were far from the weirdest things there.
They kind of also made sense in 4e, where they were an entire empire of devil worshipers that had deliberately altered themselves for teh evulz.

What I am trying to say is it depends on the setting

>They made sense in their original context, where they lived in a multi-dimensional city and were far from the weirdest things there.

I agree that this makes sense.

>They kind of also made sense in 4e, where they were an entire empire of devil worshipers that had deliberately altered themselves for teh evulz.
This on the other hand not really. A whole race of devil worshippers that look like devil-worshippers kinda completely defeats the reason for the existence of Tieflings, doesn't it?

Selling games to SJWs is easy attention and as someone who hopes to get games published I fully intend to do it

>>51397752
It's not bad. It was before most of the SJW bullshit, so instead of most of that crap it's based around romantic fantasy and was aimed at "What if we made a D&D for women? What would we put into it?" and it actually wound up a pretty good setting.

the remake watered that down some and added more politics but it's still fine. Y'know, fine. Like any number of dozens of other RPGs that deserve about as much attention.

It's certainly better than the d20.
But Blue Rose isn't really selling the system, it's selling the rhetoric. And the rhetoric is poorly written propaganda.

Get one of those stands with the grips and the magnifying glass.
Other then that I'm not sure you CAN get anything else useful from Target. I worked at one for a while and that's all I can think of.

>>51397681
Actually, I can think of something else. Super glue and tight rubber gloves. With the gloves you don;t have to worry about super glue or paint getting on your hands.
Get a big thing of disposable latex gloves.

A big flat desk to paint on.
A good light for said painting.
Something to put of said desk to prevent the paint from getting on it.
Exact-Knifes, blades, and small wire cutters for the models.
Something to organize you're shit. Like a tackle box or one of those little tool-boxes.
Something to sand off the mold lines maybe?
