That's a pretty good hook.

>>51388782
Ok and? Are you selling a plot idea or is this leading somewhere?

More of a brain shit then anything else because it's all based on a series of individual ideas I've been stringing together. I'm kinda high on Chronicles of Riddick/Destiny/Star Wars shit right now.

>>51387186

Halflings are conspicuously Tolkien, even if they are "public domain".

The dwarves and Elves in original D&D are pretty segregated from their Middle Earth analogues when you take a good look at it. Halflings are not, and on the rare even they are such as with Kender people just resent it.

Forgot the summary.

>Western + Post apocalypse
>Neo-Texas
>The exact cause of the apocalypse is a complete mystery to the people, though many speculate and hunt the wastes for clues
>Radiation all over the place
>Also cybernetics
>Motorcycles are the main mode of transportation, other vehicle also exist but are more rare
>Main currency is cards from a variety of games.
>These cards are also used in the popular game deck'Em in which players battle with improvisation and a combination of rules from every card game known to man
>Old world currency is mostly destroyed or repurposed though old-world coins are used as badges of honor
>License plates are collected in sets of 50 as vanity items
>Doctors are some of the most widely respected as medical science has fallen by the wayside
>Groups that survey are mostly tribal, very few organized fighting forces.
>Chief among these groups are a series of nomadic khanates.
>None of these khanates get along and all of them are savage forces. Though less advanced tech-wise they are brutal fighters to make up for it.
>Mutants exist, resulting from both cybernetic rejection and radiation
>These mutants range from human-like in intelligence to completely savage
>Corporations have formed. They provide goods to the wastes as well as conduct the most lucrative slaving operations
>Hipster food truck caravan?
>Old world advanced drilling has led to a new oil supply for Texas however most vehicles also (and mainly) run on biofuel.
>"The Naked" Are a widely disliked faction with a philosophy of strong opposition to cybernetics
>Small refueling camps dot the wastes to supply travelers with biofuel from fast growing but otherwise valueless crops
>Some refueling stations will let you play deck'Em for your fuel, but blacklist high profile consistent winners
>Some stations are run by these winners
>Moto-jousting is a sport

> Cont.

>Khanates come from the southlands and are basically savages. Infighting is constant and when they do stop warring to attack, the civilizations of the Wild Wastes come together to fight the common enemy
>Christianity survives in two forms, Backwoods Gospel and Neo-Catholicism
>Neo-Catholicism is basically modern Catholicism with a splash of the old crusading variety.
>Backwoods Gospel is full of fanatical believers and supernatural legends
>Mutants are the scourge of both
>The Iron Sons are self appointed lawbringers.
>The follow a set of rules called "The Code"
>Their HQ is unknown by the masses, but in reality it is at Area 51
>Most roads are deemed public access and not controlled by any one faction, however, The Corporation does upkeep those important to their operations and charges modest tolls to pay for it
>When Marauders try to muscle in towns or sometimes the Iron Sons push them out in a hurry unless they keep moving
>Guns are plentiful, ammo is not. The blunderbuss and muzzle loading rifle are back in style due to relative cheapness of ammo
>The corporation is the only source of advanced ammo (excluding the stockpiles held by the Iron Sons)
>The flow of trade changes if bandit groups can hold onto stretches of road, detours become popular and more small towns spring up
>Fort Kickass is a bastion of neckbeards with a strict "No Women" policy
>Mostly harmless they are sustained by taking in orphans
>They also collect deck'Em cards and hold an annual deck'Em tournament, the only time they open up to the outside world.
>They are rumored to have at least some martial arts training
>Agriculture is still strong and wheat is a staple crop
>Mutated animals are favored hunting game, including the humble "Station Badger" A mutated field mouse and another staple food

> Cont.

>At the start of the apocalypse two men from beer brewing companies distributed shitloads of beer.
>As a result the "Church of Light" to "Reverend Bud" was formed, telling stories of the evil rival "Miller's Sons"
>Decent beer can be brewed in the wastes but there is a premium on stale old cans of Bud Light
>Drinkers report religious experiences in the style of Native-American vision quests
>Neo-Catholicism has excepted Bud as the patron saint of Alcohol and Parties
>Backwoods Gospel believes him to be an angle or prophet
>monotheistic bud worshipers are rare and many do it out of irony and a love of alcohol
>March 17th is Bud Day, a religious holiday where all three branches celebrate in harmony
>Many pilgrimage to the shrine to Rev. Bud in Milwaukee, the old Bud Light manufacturing plant
>High rise architecture has been mostly dismanted
>The Red Silk is an organized army of slavers named so for the red silk and black leather they wear.
>They are ruled by a monarchy or oligarchy by a prince or princes
>They travel far an wide, including North into the mountains
>The Grand Canyon is a thriving settlement
>The canyon is a system of tunnels and bridges
>It is the trade hub of the Wild Wastes
>Bandits house here commonly as well

There's a lot that's not written here, but that's about the gist of it.

i havent played in like a year how has the meta changed, any new cards?

i play storm, dredge, grixis delver, and burn

I think I need to pick up a few copies of leovold just because I have everything else for Reid dukes list

>>51329976
Right now the meta has more BUG colored decks than normal due to Leovold, and Storm's meta share has gone down a bit due to Chalice decks.

Copy Cat is quite real from what we can see at SCG

my money is on Grixis Control though to shut it down and make it look silly

Where could I find other casuals that play cheap, bastard decks like mine?

I tried playing at the LGS and it was either hardcore nerds that knew each other or preppy people who came in and left asap after getting what they needed.

Money is not exactly an issue, but I want people who don't take the game seriously and wouldn't be offended at playing cheap decks.

As love interests

>>51307588
as a game of numenera

Monkey league starting as simyin team leads vets.

Rigged before it starts.

We are in round 6 for vets and rookies but you get a B- anyways for making a thread.

I don't play BB2 but I've never seen shots of that winter stadium before. Is that being added or was it already in the game?

>>51399207
Not sure on the size, but general housekeeping could include maintaining altars, sweeping, cleaning, as well as preserving any food or drink that might be used in ceremonies, masses, etc.
That and, of course, prayer! In addition, you'd also have general religious services, so there'd be members of the cathedral in charge of confessionals, donations, etc.

Stop worrying about realism and just set it up already. The time you spend fretting about shit that doesn't matter is time you're not spending planning your game.

>>51399372
your playgroup has probably never even seen an inspired setting judging by your attitude.

I give this thread 10 replies before it either devolves into /pol/ shit, or into a shrill chorus of the /tg/ Inquisition screaming /pol/.

>>51398441
While this is absolutely /pol/shit, you make a reasonable point in that the premise isn't without merit. Brexit could be adapted to a campaign, given the right setting, probably a custom one.

>>51398513

Why would you "give it" any number of posts? This is already bait. It was always bait.

GURPS Zombies would be good, and once you've learned GURPS you can run any variety of campaigns.

do you know all flesh must be eaten??
it's a zombie survival rpg, i have seen it in the pdf share but i have never played it

>>51398053
These are literally only accurate for the first season except the governor which is never accurate. This is why alignment charts are shit.

>>51397908
That it's time to switch system to something more sane.

>>51397908
That you play too much D&D.

It says that one cannot truly and objectively evaluate oneself, for our measure of self will always be biased.

>>51397200
I have a similar issue, and although I'm not the greatest, I found something that helped me improve a lot:
Have your Dungeons follow the same layout as places you've been to, and improv the details. I have a pretty gr8 spacial memory so it works for me

>>51397298
That's a good idea. If I make one map per time I leave the house we can have a session per year.
No really good idea, I'll try to remember. What when the places I go don't seem like dungeons?

>>51397355
I mean I recently ran a party through a castle which was actually just my old highschool.
I wouldn't say most shops are suitable for Dungeons, but you could literally describe the house/apt you're holding a session in to your players. If you're subtle enough and change enough details, they shouldn't have any idea

Immediately lock eyes with eachother and chant MANY OF ONE AND ONLY ONE while binding their left hands together and drawing elaborately decorated knives especially prepared for ritual duels.

>>51397028
Let the themselves proceed as they did, so that group gets flung into another plane, ultimately leaving each plane with only one group.

>>51397167

But the new-dimension group noticed your arrival, how are you going to convince them to go on their merry way?

>>51396969
Evolve with them or die without them.

Christ that was a cringe answer

>>51397801
i don't quite understand?
should i just let them have all their crazy stuff?
or deny them? Cause i'll never see the end of it, either way.

>>51396969
I didn't want to even consider dealing with this, which is why I created an independent setting to use with the FFG Star Wars System. Can't complain about or abuse Canon that isn't there.

Of course, I said I would do this at the start, with the promise that the players would have opportunities to become more important to the setting than they would otherwise in the Canon universe.

Star Wars itself doesn't really make for a good campaign setting. It's the same with Forgotten Realms. You have to deal with the Drizzt/Elminster effect, and fanboys will go crazy with Canon and exploiting their knowledge of the universe.

>>51396042
a sense a theme of 'everyone losing, but not really' going to happen to all factions

I HAVE A VISION

calling it now, some warp bullshit pushes the nids out and away but a splinter fleet gets 'stranded' in our galaxy

necrons dont wake up and/or the flayer virus fucks shit up and most of the crons/tomb worlds are effectively useless

orks get caught in a daemonic push that wipes a bunch of them but stems the daemon tide so both factions are also effectively in reduced fighting strength.

siege of terra 2: electic boogaloo ends with terra mostly intact, imperium sundered, chaos fucked up, eldar did fuck all but will be shoe horned in EVERYWHERE.

the timeline freezes at 1 second to midnight with all the forces shattered and on the back foot and the eye expanding and the emperor reborn. The story ends with all the factions trying to regroup to prepare for

WARHAMMER 40,000 AGE OF THE EMPEROR
A Wargame set after the Time of Ending of the 41 Millennium. Factions strive to survive and piece back together their ways of life. Look forward to exciting new Citadel Miniature range and a more streamlined method of gameplay to enjoy more games with your friends!
