Why are all dwarves destined for underground failure?

Is it Moria? It's Moria, isn't it. Always with that fucking mine. That was a ONE-TIME THING, OKAY!?!

I have always had a soft spot for the "Dwarves boasting about their previous achievements but their time has passed and their empire is a shadow"

It just resonates with me. Certainly a little LoTR and a bit of Skyrim.

Depends. He has a warrior's outfit, does he have insignia or heraldry that would indicate who he is or where he's from? Are there other indications showing that he's likely a friend(or enemy)? For that matter, how friendly are elves and humans(these particular elves at this particular age, more specifically) with each other in general? I mean, there are lots of different kinds of elves in Tolkien's works, and some of them would probably help him while some of them might shoot him or at least prefer capture and interrogation to actually helping him.

OP Here.

Very good points. No insignia i guess(He is soldier from Gondor, but far in the North). Elves are meant to be rather isolationistic, but are, on the other hand, on purpose killing bad stuff in swamp. I wonder how their longevity would affect their assessment of warrior?

Elves would be distrustful to humans in this case ("humans are prone to corruption" story). I was inclined toward capture and interrogation. I wonder how and what would they ask - not every elf is mind-reading Galadriel.

>No insignia i guess(He is soldier from Gondor, but far in the North)
Well... he'd at least have Gondorian armor and such, right? And probably wear his lord's colors or at least coat of arms somewhere in his chest(assuming he has a lord)?

>I wonder how and what would they ask - not every elf is mind-reading Galadriel.
Probably start with basic stuff - who are you, what are you doing here, what happened, maybe some questions to establish whether he's telling the truth(something both the elves and he would know - maybe about landmarks, the nature, that kind of stuff, I guess?). Then onto tactical assessment like are there other humans nearby(alive or dead), has he seen any baddies, has he seen anything else of importance, etc. I'd probably play them as not polite, but not exactly threatening either, as long as they think he's telling the truth. Afterwards, I don't know. Either give him help and send him off or let him join them until he can leave safely.

>tfw no one likes this game

is there an adept school for sadness

because I think I just achieved it

not really sold on some of the rules changes like linking everything to the Shock Gauges, and the dropping of such iconic schools as Entropomancy or Dipsomancy or Epideromancy legit pisses me the fuck off (I know they're in book 4 or 5 but those are pdf extras, not the core product, not in print)

it IS UA though so I'm probably gonna buy it sooner or later, but still... right now I'm more interested in the next edition of Over the Edge, hopefully they will not chainsaw that to bits this unnecessarily. Kickstarter soonish I'm told.

Sorry, but the uncontested best CIV game in history was made during the Firaxis era, not Microprose.

Oh fuck yes
Sid Meier's Pirates
Airborne Ranger
Silent Service
All great for building your own imaginative RPs around
Probably a bunch I'm forgetting too

If the disk is capable of infinite speed, why not just stand close to the target and pummel it to death with your relativistic disk?

Good. Your character sounds annoying unless you're the DM, in which case your GMPC sounds *infuriating.*

Maybe you should try Pathfinder instead. I think it fits your character much better.

Sounds like either a Pact of the Blade Warlock, College of Valor Bard, or an Eldritch Knight, with high stats except for a dip in dexterity and either low wisdom/intelligence depending on what class you picked.

You're trying to describe someone who's rather inconsistent, but the nature of stats is that they are more of a maximum than a baseline. You can have an Intelligence of 18 and not know anything about history if that's your wish (just don't even bother rolling history checks), or have high dexterity but be bad at dancing or clumsy on your feet in general. You simply can't be more intelligent than an 18 would indicate, or have greater dexterity. Self-imposed limitations for character purposes work because the stats are supposed to be broad generalizations and generally supposed to be flexible.

Who are NPCs and why did they join?

>>54819044
A dwarf berserker who has "a map" to "treasure" (he's a simple kind, more prone to smashing heads then actually doing any real work) and socially awkward human Priest of Gond with his simple battle construct.

They joined because PCs looked for some quests and these NPCs needed some aditional manpower to get dwarfs' "treasure".

>>54819084
They find the tresure of the dwarf and drift apart as good acquaintances, poissibly meeting again in the future?

>>54815577
While I don't have any experience with it, I'm guessing that Unknown Armies could handle that

Mythras could handle it with Spirit Magic. Mage can probably do it as well.

>>54815577
Dogs in the Vineyard handles exorcisms pretty well. Or at least, it handles them just as well as it handles gunfights and theological debates, which depending on how you feel about narrative systems is either great or terrible.

>It is the most delicious sandwich in the world except for that it lacks bacon and has sun-dried tomatoes. Which might be a bonus to some but others might think it's kind of annoying.
>Anyone who consumes the broodwich is instantly taken to an alternate dimension where Jerry shows up.
>Jerry is always about 10 levels higher than the PC who eats it and he has an axe.
>If the PC's merely taken a bite of the broodwich he's only teleported there long enough for Jerry to threaten him.
>If he eats all of it then he's teleported there permanently.
>If the PC deconstructs the broodwich a mysterious voice will force him to either marry a skeleton or have brain surgery where he (in his lobotomized form) will obey all of the voices commands which will mostly be to finish off the Broodwich so Jerry can kill him.

That's all I'm going to say here. It'll still be enough.

There is a Dwarven delicacy that involves cooking bioluminescent fungi while it still glows. It is commonly served as the first course, before the dining hall is lit.

I've looked over Mini Six and I'm impressed that it's something that seems mostly full featured in such a small package. Though I can't really fully judge it because I haven't been able to find a group to play it with.

Though the Wound system makes me worried about the combat. Like it looks like something where if you get hit at all, you're completely fucked because the wound system there's a slippery slope that means it's gonna get easier and easier for you to die because you'll be made incompetent from the wound penalties.

Though I guess that means it's a system where you run through new characters every session or two due to incredibly high mortality? Or is it basically to discourage combat entirely as something that's messy and that you should avoid whenever possible?

Seems like it'd maybe work best for like a survival horror game or something.

Mind you, combat is my least favorite thing about RPGs so I don't care all that much but it is a surprising feature of the system I didn't expect.

I'm a pretty big fan of Mini Six when I just want to use a movie or tv show setting and I want something I can quickly prototype. It just feels right to use for that sort of thing.

Pimp Daddy Nick With The Candy Cane Dick

I'd be called A$$troglyte. You figure out why.

I usually just go with a random name generator.

A gang I came up with for a game is: Scrap Samurai and the Bushido Boiz.

I've got an exhibitor badge so I'll be picking up blacksmiths Thursday morning at 8 am! Super excited for it. They're a very close second favorite for me. If the hunters didn't have a literal bear then smiths would be top for sure.

I'm not at all into farmers though. Winkle the lazy giant is so terrible a model, with such awful artwork, that he single handedly kills them for me.

Wow, not much interest on this board
