Reposting from Last Thread, want a few more answers

>Does your setting have Mechanized Armor? (Exosuits, Exoskeletons, Power Armor etc)
>How common is it in your setting, is the average soldier equipped with it, or is it unique troops only? Can it be bought by Civilians?
>What is it's Power Source? Does it run off batteries/capacitors or does it have an onboard Generator? If it's a generator, what kind? Fusion, Fission? Perhaps even Petrol or Diesel if you're going for a Dieselpunk style?
>How is it's use justified? Rule of Cool? Perhaps aircraft are for whatever reason less common, and Power Armor is used for Force Multiplication in their place, ala fallout? Do the users just have to be that strong/carry that big a gun in order to stay competitive? What can it do that a tank or a plane couldn't?

>Do ghosts exist in your world?
Yes.

>How do ghosts come about?
Ghosts are souls of the dead that refuse to move on, or they are deeply imprinted aspects of people who went through emotional situations.

>Is there any specific folklore about ghosts you use? Special rules or requirements?
Ghosts are bound by physical things. Be that a craving for something, a place to haunt, or a person to stalk. Ghosts that can't or won't fulfill their bond fade away.

>What's a famous or noteworthy ghost or ghost story in your setting?
The Old Traveler. Along a winding route through the mountains, travelers get the sense of being watched or followed. They can often hear a horse and rider slowly approaching from behind them, but the sound disappears if they stop to investigate. The rider sounds like he's whistling a sad tune all the while. This continues for several days until one night at camp the sounds grow too loud to be an illusion and far too close to not see the rider. Then there's a horrible crash of sound, as if something spooked the horse and chased it away from the camp ground and through the thick wilderness. In the morning, one will find a small memorial on the cliffside just a few meters past the thicket, overlooking the path down out of the mountains.

>Can you fight ghosts? Put them to rest? Avoid their curses?
No fighting them. But leaving offerings can dissuade them from tormenting you. Likewise, being disrespectful towards them or grave sites is a great way to get fucked up.

>If you don't have ghosts, do you like ghost stories yourself? Which ones?
Love me the Headless Horseman story, as well as anything involving traintracks.

>Are ghosts 2spoopy4u?
Absolutely. I'm actually a huge pussy in real life, and several of my friends have been the target of a severe haunting.

>>54903420
>Mechanically black KILLS and red blows up, but blue and white and green are just as fucked up. White locks people away for ever, sometimes not even bothering to put them in another dimension, and blue wipes things from existence. Most bounce spells don't seem to depict just summoned creatures getting wiped away.
You forgot green
>Hurricanes
>Monster attacks
>Destroyed by sentient vegetation
>Mutated into a beast

But a guy used black magic and HE'S sooooooo much worse.

Yeah, green is fucking brutal.

Idk maybe the fog/gas comes in patches all around the world, seeping up from the earth.

Maybe its a magic space fart from a passing alien and is filled with magic spacefart bacteria

Your post nearly managed to do terrible things to my sides. Good on ya Anon
>The world beyond the Fog has simply become known as the "Lost World" to some.

>>54903035
Few dare to wander into the fog, but the brave or reckless that do - or rather, the ones that return - tell tales of the grand ruins they found, a maze of towering buildings with ancient treasures to be found within.

This has been the case for a while. The only one that remains on non-strayan GW is the Lord Executioner who seems to be 'temporarily' out of stock.

Get drunk while DMing, prepare a playlist of at least 250 different tracks and sound effects, get a fog machine and a stroboscope, have some dungeon floortiles ready.

>>54901413

that... could actually be interesting one day. seriously tho.

Have em meet a traveling Gypsie women named Breena, who is in disguise an ancient silver dragon.

Have them come across pumpkins growing about everywhere, they ooze evil energy and are spreading like wildfire. This is the coming fruition of the pumpkin king.

Have them find a clue leading to the sunless citadel up near the mines of phendelver.

Have them meet traveling monks that use swords and would like to duel the characters.

Have a will-o wisp guide the characters to its grave and help them solve the mystery of the wisps death

Werewolves have been attacking all around daggerford, this leads in to curse of strhad

Have them uncover a huanted house that isn't really haunted and just a slave operation by drow to lead into, out of the abyss.

Have them be chased down by a legion of undead only to find their only refuge is in a lonely guard tower with barely enough supply.


Have them uncover small camps of dragon cultists, lead into Tyranny of dragons campaign.

Have them find, insert powerful animal or creature that needs to be slain because it is harassing stuff.

Just generate random encounter events.https://www.reddit.com/r/dndnext/comments/3jfaqo/creating_random_encounter_tables_hex_crawl/

Hope this helps my dude best travels and plundering for you party.

If you want any more ideas please let me know I have a few more.

>>54887938

Why do you lie, op?

>>54900304
I don't care.

I've got a 4 day badge, but I'm not sure it's worth it to go for all 4 days.
It just doesn't seem like there's enough to do

>>54899991
I know that everyone screams "REEE GURPS!"
But I actually own the Gurps WWII book. My buddies and I ran an interesting campaign/wargame thing using a combination of Gurps WWII and Flames of War.

Phoenix Command.

>>54899991
BRP (the one used in CoC) it's a good way to run a weird war theme.

>>54899973
I'm gonna bump once.

Does anyone know a place that might be more interested in brainstorming something like this?

This sounds like a nice little game. It shouldn't be to complex, as it makes for a good minigame that can be played during a break or while you're waiting for your train.

Bonus points if the monsters can be monstergirls.

consider shooping various images together and drawing it yourself, its very easy

GIMP is free if you have no photoshop

>>54898616
Try rolling on the magic items table in the DM Guide.

One of the stronger points of 5e is that magical equipment is not really required. Magical weapons against various higher CR creatures, yeah, but you don't need a list of 20 different trinkets and items to be remotely proficient at whatever you're doing like in 3.5.

I'd go with +1, maybe +2 or +1 + enchantment weapons, maybe a few semi-useful rings or amulets.

>>54898616
I'd let then have normal starting equipment and maybe few healing potions and some gold (50-ish) on the top of it.

There's also literally "Starting Equipment" table for the exact thing in DMG on page 38.

Well, I'm typically more of a fan of classless systems but I really like class systems that encourage a team to specialize in wildly different areas to create a team of experts.

I guess I would have to say something like Anima for mechanical diversity even though I've never really played it? Or Dark Heresy if I have to pick one I've run before.

>>54898547
I like the class to have no mechanical advantage and just be flavor.

>>54898547
I really like the way rogue trader manages it, where your class effectively gives you a list of talents and skills you can purchase with the option of buying talents from outside your class with gm permission for extra xp cost.

>Would there be any major rivalries between the classes and schools?

They don't steal each other's mascots, one school will sneak in at night and turn the other school's animal into a dire version of their own animal

>>54897944
>What would the town's government be like?
If it's not some kind of Magocratic town council where representatives of a bunch of wizardly guilds, some of which may or may not still be relevant enough to have seats, jockey for power and prestige, I'll be sorely dissappointed. Throw in some Academic shitflinging and you've got yourself a done deal.

>>54897996
This is why Necromancer U got move to the animated league. To many complaints about turning other schools mascots into skeletons.

You have to hire a decent artist to make something that can't be translated to a model since nothing in that scale would be uncanny enough to inspire dread. Games Workshop has no desire to pay more for good artwork of something they can't sell and since they view the story as a tool to sell models they won't ever consider it.

>>54895936
>Why isn't Warhammer Chaos ever actually portrayed as frightening?

It was in the original Realms of Chaos books. Everything past 1992 was a mistake
