how's the magic system for blades in the dark?

>>55427565
Tell your player everything is grey
Wait for them to be bored as fuck
Nailed it

>And here we are, five grown man, most of whom have a job, ridiculously trying to finish the session in a dark alleyway illuminated by sole street-light
>Players reached the end of segment and I concluded it with a little description of aftermath
>Players sighed with sense of satisfaction and thanked me for my work
>I've wasted some opportunities I planned for this segment. Horror was almost absent. Suspense was not as big as I wanted it to be. Subtle visual storytelling had to be not so subtle
>But there still were great element of mystery, sense of exploration and deep involvement that resulted in extremely satisfying session
>And while I have a gripe about not handling it the way I wanted it to be, satisfying conclusion, devoted players and their gratitude made everything worth it

It's a typo. It supposed to be 7 PM.

That's a very nice story OP, thank you :) Have nothing to contribute however, so have my bump

If they have equivalent resources I'd say MIT and Afghans because they could likely reverse-engineer shit better than the AdMech.

>>55427315
Afghan girls, because the Admech would want to throw a person into their machine or make it a flesh sack.

>>55427422
>>55427456

Don't forget that the AdMech team would outright fail to make a proper functioning machine because making something practical or out of their field of comfort is heresy to them. And the AdMech would fail to fully utilize the tools, assests and materials provided to them. Because they'd probs do not know how certain engineering practices work because some practices are deemed illegal by themselves.

And lastly, the Afghan Girls, along with assistance from college tech students would likely build a fully functional robot/android that'd beat the AdMechs at an arm-wrestling competition.

She's not legendary anymore, either, since girls are basic as fuck and therefore CANNOT be legendary.

Would girl planeswalkers be given the girl type as well?

Did you just assume their genders?

>>55426876

A sizeable number of cards in MTG become defunct after certain rules changes. Can't be helped.

The Legend rule hasn't killed opposing legends in a long time. Your question confuses me.

>>55427124
He's asking because the card explicitly says if there are two of them on the field. His opponent playing another would Bring it to 3, which would affect his rule, and this he would have to sacrifice his.

>>55426834
Kind of hard to do in a long-running campaign. Much easier in a one-shot with notecards and such.

>>55426834
Pass notes to everyone at the table with stuff like "Look at me, nod, and fold this card" written on them in addition to "You are now The Thing"

>>55426984
This.

Just passing notes between people will make the group distrustful to each other, even if this is a long-runner.
Also, throw number of NPCs almost double as the number of PCs into the scenario and make ONLY ONE of them The Thing.

Im going to turn your bones into a coffin despite not having enough ranks in the relevant crafting stat.

I oughta break a broomhandle off in your ass!

Life's a bitch... and then YOU die!

Now you see me... now you're dead!

Your face, your ass, what's the difference?

I'll rip your head off and shit down your neck!

When you get to hell, tell them I sent you. You will get a group discount.

You won't look so good with your face ripped off!

Welcome to your doom!

I'm gonna hire a necromancer, just so I can kill you twice!

Your daddy screamed REAL good before he died!

Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!

Or will they eventually come up with it in order to protect themselves from weapons of other races and other tribes?

What about concept of shame?
What if they would suddenly feel it is wrong to walk just like you were born and it is unworthy to do so so they will start to cover themselves up?

Would they wear additional hides in The northern regions?

>>55426160
He'd make a cool Rifts boss..
you could make the ring lined with speakers that play mortal combat, and he is invincible so long as they play, but if you destroy the speakers and stop the music he becomes an ordinary guy.

who doesn't like an evil invader and his army to fight?

>>55426160
>So tell me; how do you like such characters? Magic or technology based? Could you make playing as them instead of against them into a tabletop game?
There's a Mars Attacks supplement for GURPS where you can play as the invading Martians and use their wicked cool B-movie tech.

The fact that it's been seven months, and my players can't even name the capital city of the country they've been in this entire time.

Playing a 5e game where players care only about how much gold they're getting in a game where gold really doesn't matter anymore.

I have a campaign starting in three days - characters need to be presented to me in advance so we can get right into it.

I have one complete character sheet from my group of four.

INTJ here, the MBTI is no better than a horoscope, use the Big 5 personality traits if you want useful descriptions and predictions.

>>55425830
Is it, though? I've taken like a dozen different MBTI tests at various times and gotten consistent results, either INTP or ISTP. Which, incidentally, fits perfectly with the fact that I fall soundly into the "Melancholic" category of the Four Temperaments.

>>55425719
>What type of personality is your character?
ENTP, so basically I made my exact opposite. Huh.

It doesn't matter because the story is a fabrication

>>55425631
The players. Just because they chose to ignore a threat that the DM clearly established doesn't mean that threat ceases to exist.

Just roll him away and drop it down a well.

>>55424951
It depends what the guy can do while he's in the shield. If he has to hold his arms out or to his chest and can't do anything else, then it'll be pretty easy to just surround him and nudge him somewhere he'll die once it goes down. It also depends how quickly he can raise or lower it. If he can do it in the blink of an eye to react to a sword swing, then it's possible the guy might know how to actually use it in a fight.

In short, your players will have to be a little creative, but the guy sounds like a pushover so long as he has nothing else going for him. It could be a good encounter to get them to think outside of the box though if all they ever do is smash things.

Someone remind me how he was eventually beaten in Mother 3.

Was it that they distracted him while a scientist NPC hacked his life pod/time machine and forced him to teleport to Entropy, which was the only point in time he WASN'T locked out of?

>"He's got low-functioning autism."
Welcome to playing RPGs outside the internet friendo.
We're autistic as fuck here too but you'll find higher functioning tards.

>>55424933

Mid-functioning autistic here, could you post the sheet?

>>55424933
W...Why would anyone bring a low functioning spud to an event with strangers? That's the kind of potato that should only play with the tard guards being paid for it. Are they trying to be known as the Idaho GM?
