Protagonists are reactive, so this is fine. All you need to do is tailor the call to adventure so that it bothers them enough that they have to go on an adventure to fix it.

I was thinking of something similar.

Do you draw maps for your worlds(s)? How detailed do you go? for those of you that do, what would be some tips for someone not so artistically inclined? I'd love to be able to do something like pic related.

This is a WIP map that I am drawing up for a campaign. It's fairly simple, really. All it takes is some doing. Picking the style that you want can be a bit of a challenge, but even a simple style can be very effective if executed well.
Here are some videos that I used to help me get started:
>Questing Beat
>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL83FKhfEDI1J0FJhhxP3PVzM-vtTgWPKU
This entire playlist is good.
>WASD20
>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq8DIL0O-i-moL-cNFcTEgEVfIIfgSNO9
So is this one. He has another playlist where he draws his own maps, but I haven't watched it yet.
>Fantastic Maps
>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnlnvC4bOjI6pteFaakBByQ
This channel has 20 videos on mapping, mostly aimed at digital artists. Some of the videos are really short, but easy to follow.
>Random Videos
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sLESW1QcoQ
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7b6fyJelTM
These two videos helped me with drawing cities.

No game with classes should have more than 6. Any character concept you want could be covered by the following, give or take setting rules that would make one inappropriate:
>fighty guy
>Sneaky guy
>scholarly spellcaster
>religious spellcaster
>guy who gets powers from physical/mental training
>guy who gets powers from items or other tech he's made or found
and then maybe throw in a "I was born or arbitrarily became special" class for the snowflakes, but really that''s just one of the above with a coat of paint.
Why is it that most games with classes instead have a ton of classes that have overlap?

to make the game more nuanced with some unique flavor, or to allow everyone to play what they want with some shit they don't so the don't get fucked for having 3 rogues and a wizard instead of a normal cleric/fighter/rogue/wizard comp
>>
>>54957583
You're making some assumptions about the setting there. Classes fit the archetypes of the setting, and those vary from game to game.
That said, I agree that 5e has too many classes that basically do the same thing.

Nope. Fighy guy, Sneaky guy, and Magicy guy. Thats all there is.

So I have played some games (pandemic, CV, Some Magic many years ago (Tempest through urza's legacy)).
I got LotR LCG and a couple expansion decks. I like it but, this game is sooo hard. I can make a deck that will get me through the first encounter deck, but after that the encounter deck fucks my ass up... what do?

Most of the encounter decks are balanced around having two players. Get a friend to play with you and run complementary decks like spirit/tactics. Even then you will still get your ass kicked half the time because a cooperative game like this HAS to be hard to keep things interesting.

>>54736207
I have thought of playing 2 decks at once. I think part of the fun is how hard it is. but dam, 50% win at best?

The older MECCG is way better.

Whatever happened to no-holds-barred space fantasy? Not just space opera settings where there happens to be magic/psionics/the Force, but totally gonzo settings where dragon-riding knights with supermagical plate armor and dimension-slicing longswords (still with a 90% fantasy aesthetic, no sci-fi powered armor here) defend star systems from extragalactic invaders who wield antimatter flintlocks and communicate with magical ansibles.
These were extremely common until the end of the 80s, to the point wherein there was little distinction between fantasy and sci-fi. Bookstores placed those on the same shelves. RPG-wise, Spelljammer was a perfect example of this kind of setting.
Afterwards, fantasy and sci-fi divorced from one another. You now have screeching autists rallying against any blending of fantasy and sci-fi, even when gonzo space fantasy was the order of the day in previous decades.
What happened?

Adding this.
>>
Like you said, sci-fi and fantasy just got lumped together as "fantasy" previously, because anything could happen. But as mediums and genres evolve, people want more clear cut lines. Some people like the elves and swords, and others like the aliens and blasters, and sometimes they don't want them all mixed together in a stew. So a split happened, simple as that.
Though I would love to see a few more space fantasy games out there.
>>
I should add that Warhammer 40,000 is one of the few lingering examples of these, probably because it was conceived in the 80s.
You would hardly see anything like Spelljammer or Warhammer 40,000 conceived past the 80s.
