>lip of the bottle rests on the table
No thanks

>>54784797

What's the big deal?

>>54785101
I don't know the last time it was cleaned, whose unwashed urine-stained hands were sitting on that table, or even if a coaster was used.

Thanks, but I'm not trying to get potential table-germs in my mouth.

>>54780956
Keep everything the same about them.

But they're right. Make it abundantly clear they're right.

>>54780956

You don't really need to change much, you just need to have balanced portrayals of each faction as opposed to strawmen.

Making more powerful spells take up more spell slots would be the easiest solution.

>>54776368
Making the spells not break the game.

>>54776368
I once attended a LARP that used a point-buy system for spell slots and restricted how you could use them. Basically each level of spells had their own pool of spell slots capped at 5 slots, your number of spell slots per level could not exceed the number of spell slots purchased in levels below it, and spells could not be slotted in spell slots of a lower level.

Absolutely nothing noticeable Changes. It'd be like dropping a prison's worth of serial killers onto Commoragh. Just pissing into an ocean of much nastier Piss.

I don't think a bunch of transdimensional demons capable of easily traversing through both the micro and macrocosms, would be something to ignore. Especially when their ultimate goal wouldn't be just the galaxy.

Good ideas from last thread:

>Minnesota Vikings become real vikings. Norwegians turn their roots and Neo-Norse begin raiding and conquering in the Great Lakes region. Influenced by football paraphernalia, these vikings actually have horned helmets.
>A Cult to the Founding Fathers and subsequent presidents forming on the eastern seaboard.
>Amish are the setting's elves. Having been able to ride out the apocalypse and continuing their simple, isolationist existence for hundreds of years, the Amish of rural Pennsylvania and upstate New York are seen as marvelously advanced compared to the standards of most of medieval America.
>A Rust Cult based on the worship of the old, hollowed shells of factories in the Rust Belt which sees Henry Ford as a Prophet/God figure.
>Duke Walton V of Disney, ruling Orlando and the Magic Kingdom with an ironfist and a knightly order descended from old Disney Mercs/Security.
>The Hoosier King of Indiana maintaining power through great agricultural resources and a few forts staffed by knights who can deploy quickly on the bones of old highways
>A myth that "out west" there's still people from the Before Times or Old America, but to get there you have to pass the Mountains at the End of the World. (Trick is there's nothing there, of course)
>Cheyenne Mountain Facility as a sort of Holy Grail.


There's more, but a lot of it is taken straight from ATE, like the Rust Cult and the Founders Cult. Also a Plains Indian revival with Indians serving the role of Mongol Hordes in the midwest. A Mormon Kingdom of Deseret.

>>54772707
One of the best ideas from the last thread that didn't get much discussion was the idea of Biker Gangs basically becoming the new Condotierri, which I think is very cool.

>>54772867
That was right at the end and I think people were sleepy and worn out from dealing with pissed off indians.

I think it's a solid idea. I just don't know enough about biker clubs/gangs, their HQs, their territories, etc. to say much else other than "it'd be cool if biker gangs were mercenaries."

In After the End, a lot of mercenaries are football teams: The Buckeyes of Ohio. The Atlanta Bravemen. To me, this makes less sense as they're tied to a geographical location. Not something neutral like "The White Company."

Also nobody really got into the Southwest or Northwest other than the joke about white nationalist cascadia.

>Pathfinder
Couldn't they be persuaded to play 5e instead?

>>54769550
OP here.
Sure they could... if anyone sent me the rules. My budget for new books is ash and couch-change until mid-September.
If there's an SRD for 5e, you people can save me from having to actually read Pathfinder.... though it would mean Gaston-anon would have to remake his npc-follower.
Meh, I could do that for him, it's just he actually fricking read the Pathfinder rules enough to make his own sheet (a god-damned first; usually Frollo-anon makes his character for him, hence the fricking titlecard pic)

OP again.
Jesus, I'm lazy.
http://www.5esrd.com/
Yes, they could play 5e. Why? Is it better for the players? Or for me, the GM?

>>54767745
I dont get it, whats the problem?

The joke anon's getting at is that they replaced the art of this card, who's appearance is based off of the winner of the last Magic Invitational in 2007

>>54767810
So? They changed the art in MM3 too

You're stupid, you know that? Not because you said an idea, but because you genuinely think humanity could endure an eternity as a slave race.

And that's why you don't tell the boss yo fuck off, you just spike his coffee with strychnine.

>>54767120
I don't know, humanity has always been pretty good at keeping our head down and doing what we're told as long as it's in our best interests.

Not gonna lie, that sounds clever and hilarious. I'd allow it.

>>rest of party wants to move on, realizing now from my descriptions MUCH more is happening outside their alley and this petty fight
>>"any AOE spell you use right now is also going to hit the party. Seriously dude, just use ice knife and one shot them"

>>"okay but if this guy is in reach of me, and this guy is too, that means this party member should be catty-corner, so logically if I aimed the spell two squares right, then I would only hit one party member..."
>>"okay mate, not a smart plan. I told you why"
>>party groaning, dude, were one-shotting them, they won't even get a second turn, just ice knife

I honestly think that humans should be split into different ethnicities and have bonusses according to these. They can still have some things and stats in common, but the innovative shit gets boring.

Theros for seemingly pushing minotaurs but having the shittiest support. Why couldn't I get a good fucking tribe?
Also fate reforged, just because it was forgettable imo

And you know, Lorwyn was such a good set besides that. Really sucks ass how they ruined one of the last good blocks with their new card type.
