Well shat.
If you've DMed, give yo bro advice.
This looks set for disaster.

Play it and post the horror as a greentext.

>>51385871
leave.

Seriously 3/4 people in your group sound like 0 fun to play with and in perfectly good company with each other so just start a new group

Self bump

You're asking for a lot, because there's a ton of gods. Far more gods than necessary frankly, since there's a lot of overlap and also fancruft shit like the Egyptian gods. Your best bet really is the wiki. It's not like you have to read up on all of them, just the ones that actually are directly relevant to the campaign.

>>51385210
Do yourself a favor and restrict your canon. Pick a version of the realms and use that.

Also focus the game on one region at first. Every town looks the same if you scream by it at 85 on the freeway.

And take it from me--if you have one player in the group who's devoted to the novels and shit, it'll ruin everything. I used to love the old 2e boxed set (which was mostly a blank map with a gazetter that covered major countries with a short paragraph).

It's sort of like setting a campaign in Middle Earth... maybe there are fun adventures to be had there, but it's hard not to be hemmed in by the stories everyone already knows.

brilliant thread OP
a lot of information in the opening

>>51384015

When you ask for something like this it's a good idea to post details so that people know what they're getting into.

>>51383438
My first DM did the same thing, including the XP bonus. Only the problem was there was only one guy who ever bothered to actually write anything and he was a complete sperglord. He'd reserve the start of every session for the sperglord to read aloud his report of the previous session, and literally nobody enjoyed it except the DM and the sperglord.

>>51383477
that sucks. We don't read our out or anything like that. just post em online for him to look at, and anyone else who wants to. One guy who's character is illiterate actually drew a short little comic with pictograms. Definitely wouldn't want to waste time trying to read my shit calligraphy over again

>>51383438
Whenever somebody makes a skill check related to information he PM's the player that succeeds and makes them tell the rest of the party the info in their own words.
Really helps with immersion.

Also we claim this thread for parts. Please assemble to surrender any interesting limbs or equipment to the Medicae Auxilia, thank you.

(Looking forward to converting some squid drones)

Sounds like Warcraft but with a higher tech level for everyone but the Draenei.

>the fist and that is magic is real and a part of super physics that space people are only starting to understand and the natives treat it like its normal and even know more about it then them
>there is an old alien ship drifting in the solar system with this planet-- aliens had time distortion technology. ship is from the future and it's the tec that is broken that made this area of space act strange
>guy that hired PC's to explore this area kinda already knows about how special it is and sent them as a kind of canary in the coal mine to see if it will kill them- after they are not dead- he comes with a large battle ship to calm the whole solar system and the power that comes from knowing how to do real and practical magic
>guy that hired PC's is now bad guy and has gone mad with power and now has plan to take over not only this universe but several parallel ones as well
>turns out that humans may have gotten to this world long ago (like b4 space travel long) --- looks like time travel may have been used (question of if it may be the PC's that time travel and become the first humans on this world)

Redpill me on EVERYTHING about this, because it looks like you just posted something randomly.

>>51379730
This is a fairly rare joke about the city of Bielefeld, Germany, which has a conspiracy about it that claims it doesn't actually exist. Basically, OP is asking for some Unknown Armies type shit about this conspiracy.

>>51379495
Try Unknown Armies, it's a good system for this.

>>51379730

It's a silly meme. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bielefeld_Conspiracy

GURPS

I'd also like to know a good system. Been looking for one for a Hellboy-esque game for a while.

Savage Worlds for a high-action game. Use the Fantasy and Horror companions, especially the Horror one for stuff like paranormal investigators, silliness like silver nitrate rounds, more spells, the ability to play a werewolf etc.

>>51378789
The Atomic Robo RPG is considered pretty good for Hellboy.

Because fictional languages are made up.

Some few people have the education and training to invent a realistically detailed language, but unless it actually contributes to the story in a significant way, it's going to be wasted effort.

You described the sounds "m" and "th".

>>51379176
But anon there's the word "bilabial" in there, isn't that so weird ???
More seriously, OP's complaint is valid, but for the wrong reasons. I yearn for aliens who'd use a wide variety of clicks and very few vowels.

My biggest problem, though, is with writing systems. I can suspend my disbelief for shitty conlangs, but I can't handle "it's the roman alphabet but the symbols are slightly different, this constitutes the alien language".
