What happens when a world dominating empire falls? Aside from just general chaos, I mean. What are the short-term and long-term consequences?

New kingdoms have a chance to rise up and make something of themselves. Economic hubs might be destroyed or created(along with cities in general). New techniques and innovations can show up(and I don't just mean strictly industrial or scientific, architecture is a big thing). You might see the creation of new languages or some disappearing.
Basically, it's a toss-up.
>>
>>55049244
Short term, people keep on using the old currency/coinage for convenience. Long term, once the new rulers have control of local mints/printing facilities/other option of fiat currency production, regardless of whether they they actually have the economic powerbase to support it, people then have to begin negotiating exchange rates.
Easiest in settings where coinage from valuable substance is the norm, as weight and purity can be evaluated and compared directly, it becomes far harder when the currency is based on a fiscal abstraction.

What about technology? Things can be lost when collapses happen. It took centuries for Europe to learn the secrets of indoor plumbing, something the Romans had before their fall.

Should we, as either GM or player, accept the inherent class imbalances in the games we play? A lot of people argue that it makes sense for the level 20 mage to be all around better than the level 20 fighter. Further, houserules tend to swing the pendulum way too far despite the best intentions.
But imbalance in a party can often lead to one player having more fun than the others, or one player left out of the fun. And that's just no good; the aim at the table should be for everyone to have fun. What do you think, /tg/?
And remember, every time you mention "classless" some unspeakable horror with jagged talons gets closer and closer to ripping off your nipples.

Stop playing D&D.
Anything else is better.
Warhammer, both fantasy and 40K has the tradeoff for mages that you can get fucked by randomness and sucked ass-first into the warp.
Edge of the Empire and similar products are pretty alrightly balanced between classes I guess.
Hackmaster makes everyone suck equally at low levels, and higher levels are theoretical, nothing more. Even in the case you got there, a mage would still be horrendously squishy and limited in so many ways I couldn't cover them all here.
Stop playing D&D.
Any FATE/PbtAPocalypse systems are pretty good about this.
GURPS is what you make it.
Stop listening to /tg/.

Don't play at lvl 20.

>Should we, as either GM or player, accept the inherent class imbalances in the games we play?
No, that's retarded. Classes should have a niche and excel in that niche. All niches should be valuable in roughly equal measure, though not necessarily simultaneously. No class's niche should override, invade, or invalidate another's niche. It's not that fucking hard.

Giant screens all over the world that broadcast his face, plus bat-signal style projectors that beam it into the sky at all times.

Or just make him have social anxiety as a character rather than giving him it with a plot device.

>>55048760
No.
>>
>>55048916
This.
Jak's world has both good and bad points. Personally, a plus for me would be the fact that there's multiple eras of history shown (even if the only one that's outright far removed from the rest is the first game). Actually seeing what the setting's past looks like gives an aspiring worldbuilder a skeleton to build their little corner of the world on.
Plus it means you can set your game in the past or the future, of course, although the latter is more likely because it's more defined through having more exposure.

When a player keeps using an ability or item over and over and genuinely enjoy the results set up the next dozen or sessions or so to render that ineffective or better yet remove the characters ability to do the action. This is good story telling as it shows the character isn't based around one aspect and that they can overcome obstacles in other ways.

If you make a mistake, just patch over it with a retcon or justification and blame the players if it upsets the narrative. It's their fault they didn't do things as you planned.
>>
If the players kill your main bad guy too quickly, just fudge some dice and make up some sort of magic protection that protects him from that specific attack to pad out the fight.

Personalty I prefer the evil body double it gives that great narrative faux success that is great in movies before the shit gets real.

Daemon's just an archaic spelling of demon.

Aren't daemons minor, benign gods from Roman mythology? That's pretty different from most mythologies' demons.

Hey /tg/
Wondering if you could help me brainstorm a but for a noir style sci-fi campaign I'm writing backstory for. The essence is that it takes place on a planet much like Venus - the surface is a hellscape but colonists have propped up 'cloud colonies' at a point in the atmosphere that sits at 1g & a comfortable temperature. Lots of rain and neon like any good cyberpunk setting.
Here's where the question comes in - the entire planetary operation is privately funded by corporations, with residents of the colonies mostly being employee/citizens paid either in cash shares or both. There are terrible dead-end jobs (surface mining, water purification, hydrogen/helium processing) ranging up to cushy office jobs. The corporations all invested in a joint 'government' of sorts that handles law/defense, but for anything that doesn't violate the core charter the corporations effectively govern their colonies as they see fit.
Thing is, I want this society to be gritty and flawed but not evil or cartoonish like sci fi corps tend to be. Some corps are definitely more exploitative than others (think space wal-mart), but for others life on the colonies are pretty solid. None of them are Omnicorp/Weyland-yutani/Umbrella scale corrupt, & a major part of my plot is one of the corps getting up to some shady shit even though they seem really friendly at first glance.
Any advice or places to look? all tips are very much appreciated. Thanks in advance lads!

if you have ever worked at a large publicly traded company you will know that "efficient" and "corporate" are two words never uttered together
>>
A direct way to show your players that not all the companies are bad is showing early on that some companies actually are doing good things, and not just for their higher ups. Have a few doctors from a parent company being shipped in specifically to help the surface miners heal from whatever strange sickness they're getting. Have some newspapers show that the Space Union and Space Corp just negotiated new terms that make both groups somewhat happy and work is starting up again. Have the higher ups in the company actually believing in what they're selling.
>>
>>55047774
This, but let's be honest and fair: no society has ever been truly efficient. There is always room for improvement. All that matter's is that you are more effective than your peers and rivals.
