Should Iron be an anti-magic material? How would it affect the setting? How would you make magic armor and weapons?

Bronze. Or otherwise some fantasy metal like mithril.

Why would you want to pump the already most useful metal?
Could make it gold or silver. Magic capabilities compensate their lower use for fighting.

What are some interesting methods of tracking character health that you've seen over your years of gaming? Is there one that stood out to you as being especially clever or easy to use? Is there one that you just can't fucking stand and think is dumb as hell?
For me, while I'm most used to old-fashioned HP, I'm interested in methods that are more granular and keep track of individual wounds. While death spirals (get worse at shit the more wounded you are) can be fun, I'm actually partial to reverse death spirals, where things escalate and get more serious as wounds accumulate.

what if you had a little body silloutte chart, and if you take a hit to an arm or chest etc, you write a line on it, but if you get hit again in teh same spot, you make the line into an X, then each body part has a simple stat debuff based on if it's lined or X'ed and if you get too manyXs you get taken out

I'm a big fan of Into the Odd's combat engine. It's based on old school D&D
>three ability scores
>no attack rolls, just roll for damage
>once your small pool of hit points is gone, physical damage is applied to STR, with increasing chances for accumulating wounds
>in theory, mental attacks (ie sanity-blasting encounters, or even social humiliation) could damage your other abilities.
>armor soaks a small amount of damage
It does have a bit of a "death spiral" effect, but it's striking how much variety and emergent behavior it creates with only five essential numbers (three abilities, HP, and a damage die).
>>
Not sure about you but as things get worse, then things escalate and get more serious.
It's all fun and games until you have -3 to all actions.

Ok why is it that good guys always forget they can cripple the bbeg instead of just out right killing them?
For example, pic related (I've been reading alot of discworld lately) Sam Vimes is fighting Carser, a murderous psychopath, who then throws away his weapons and says Sam won't kill him. And then Sam doesn't, Carcer has an extra knife or something, you know how the old cliche always goes.
My question is why does the good guy always forget that limbs exist? Like Sam could have just cut off Carcer's arms. Boom completely incapacitated. Or chop off the legs? That would be the simplest solution, the bad guy is incapacitated permanently, and not dead.
I just don't understand.
Also thinly veiled discworld thread.

Why not just kill the bad guy?
I mean, the bad guy's really fuckin evil, burns women, kills houses and rapes livestock. Why bother with mercy and not just stab him straight in the heart when the fool thinks he could trick you?

Unless you have trained professionals on standby, removing limbs is just a slower more painful way to kill someone.

The 10 Kobold Empires of the world, each bearing a force of conscripted level 1 kobolds near a billion strong, bands together to assault the tiny city state of max level adventurers, 1000 heroes led by a single max level Exalted.

The majority of the adventurers form a defense in the city. The best wizards/assassin's take off from the city and scatter to the Empire capitals where they proceed to infiltrate and assassinate the emperors. They then work their way back to the city state going after officer-type kobold until eventually the news spreads and the armies splinter and flee.

So I'm going to be starting a D&D 5e campaign soon, and I'm looking for ideas.
The goal for the campaign is "Comfy as fuck." The idea is that everyone in the party is a kid from the same small town on the wilderness border between two unfriendly Principalities. They get drafted as a local militia cadre for the town and surrounding countryside.
That provides for three kinds of missions. One, they're doing standard guard duty - putting down brawls without killing anyone, dealing with bandits on the road, doing escort duty for important merchants going over to the next town, etc. That covers your standard tactical battles.
The second is exploration - the maps of the surrounding countryside, especially the borderland, are out of date by a generation or so, and need to be updated. They range out into the woods, find the old spots (a watchtower from the old border that they could fix up and keep as their own, caves that were just marked as Dangerous that need to be explored and secured) and watch out for incursion from the people across the border.
I'm hoping for them to start meeting their opposite number from the town on the other side of the wilderness, and for some tense moments to lead to some trade and conversation, the way things always go between poor people on the borderland.
The third kind is small town drama. One of the characters is the youngest son of a Blacksmith, not burly like his dad or brothers, but quick. He's trying to earn his dad's respect, though he'd never admit it. One of the characters is engaged to the sister of one of the others - and the sister's family (uncles, etc) have decided he's not good enough for their girl, and are coming to sort him out. There's a new family in town, and nobody trusts them, and you've gotta either investigate or defend them. Or both.
Would you play in this campaign? If you would, what kind of missions would you enjoy?
Also, post pictures of comfy locations for inspiration.

The only "mission" I already have plotted out is going to be the first time they have to deal with bandits. They have orders to bring people in alive for trial, and they manage to set an ambush for the bandits and get them tied up.
While they're getting everything together, one of the bandits gets free, and comes at the blacksmith's son. He panics, and brings up his spear - and hits perfectly, with the bandit falling forward onto it, pushing him down. He gets to watch while the bandit dies.
They get back to town, and everyone's congratulating them. The blacksmith's son is kind of off, and goes to the tavern for a beer... where his dad finds him, and sits down next to him. They sit for a bit, and then the son tells the dad what happened, and the dad says...
"Son... I never told you or your brothers about my time in the army. I never told you, because I wanted better things for you. I hoped none of you would ever have to learn this... but it gets easier. It does. And that doesn't make you a bad man."
He claps his son on the back, leaving is hand there for a moment.
"I just want you to know, boy, that I'm proud of you. And if you need it, we can always come here."

And obviously, I can't know that the character is going to make those choices, but that's the thing I'm aiming towards. I'm a decent enough narrativist DM that I can get the players to places I want them to be without it seeming railroady.

Idea originally inspired by here
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/49546675/
Some of these ideas are pretty grand, but there's not all applicable - they're pretty much relying on the isolation of the characters, and I don't want isolation.
What I'd really like, more than anything else, is a campaign that reigns in completely the murderhobo qualities of players. I want the characters to have family and friends in town, who they have to manage the expectations and desires of.
You can't just do whatever you want when you still have to be at Gran's house every week for Sunday dinner.
What kind of 40K clothing would you like to see?

To avoid derailing this topic to hell, I should also mention that, please, for the love of god, do not try and use DnD 5e for Supers games. DnD is fine and all for the typical fantasy archtypes, but if you want any flexibility required for running a superhero, you're not going to find it there.

When a Hexapod dragon walks across the ground, it does so on four stubby legs like a Weiner dog with a pair of fairy wings on it's back.
When a Tetrapod dragon walks along the ground, it does so using it's wings to pull it forward in great strides, showing strength and power.
Also since they don't have two unnecessary lumps of meat in the front providing drag Tetrapod Dragons are faster.

Tetrapod dragons look really weird, and wing-walking is dumb. Also you could just have dragons that don't have stubby legs.
