It's my own damn fault for playing D&D on state game lands.

>>55389534
People have used bows to kill animals and other humans for thousands of years. What's the issue here?

Stars Without Number, it can do the military stuff but also politics, trading, espionage, etc.

Borrow the Savvyhead workshop move from Apocalypse World, it's easy enough to port into any given system

I'm looking at some pdf's but I'm just seeing it listed as a studio amenities. I'm unfamiliar with AW so maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

It could easily evolve into an symbiotic friendship.
Vampires need blood to survive, and tends to be charismatic and charming - Exactly what is need to rule over a bunch of mortals as a cruel overlord. However, Vampires are often less focused on raw power, so they rarely have standing armies.
Liches need souls to sustain themselves, and the stereotypical way for them to get these are to go on unholy crusades, capturing civilians and consuming them. Liches are, thus, very good at warmongering - A Lich without untold hordes of undead at it's disposal might as well just be a Wizard. This often has the consequence of attracting pesky murderhobo adventurers, which, as we all know, can easily put a dent in the most creative Undead's plan.

Having the Vampire sustain a human population for blood and soul-generation, and having the Lich constructing a terrifying undead army to deter invaders - Well, it'd say they compliment each other rather well.

>>55388492
That sounds like a theocracy waiting to happen. The vampire lord feeds on the living as they pray to serve in the lich's legion of the dead as their afterlife.

That is definitely an interesting prospect.
This leads to potential conflict as well; if enough mortals can be convinced of an Undeads divinity, will it be enough to ascend to godhood?
What is the Lich is building up a secret ritual to capture all the souls of the mortals in the area, sweeping through and ascending him?
The Vampire realizes this, and have to stop the Lich from slaughtering his only source of food. He has no alternative than to ask adventurers for help, suddenly needing to protect a 'few' meagre peasants while formulating a strategy that will allow the Lich to be defeated.

Maybe the adventurers need to seek help from other locations?

Sorry. Fish save him.

It's a goddamn shame that the flavor text isn't "For the first time in her life, Vraska felt a little warm and fuzzy inside."

Tribute paid to the winners. (War crime reparations, imbalanced trade concessions, foreign aid to rebuild destroyed cities, et cetera.)

Limits on loser's military strength. (Can run from some allowed ala-post WW1 Germany, to none allowed ala-post ww2 Japan.)

Territorial concessions. (Everything from forced recognition of pre-war borders claimed by winning country ala-The Falklands War, to massive concession of previously held territory to the winner ala-The Mexican-American War)

>>55388677
Thanks.

Passing of domestic laws in loser territory. Outlawing certain religions is a common one.

Installation of foreign politicians into loser's government.

Ransom/release of prisoners on both sides. Countries frequently barter for trade of captives during war, and it's much easier during peace.

Establish territory for the winner inside the loser's bounds. Embassies or DMZ.

Altering the court systems to rely on judges favorable to the winner's policies.

Any advice on my army?

Jesus anon, that's alot to read through and some terrible fucking formatting.

Well first off you need six troops minimum for that so it's illegal.

So far AdMech seems pretty damn good.

you can summon after disembarking

seriously though?

>>55386610

Kind of sucks that Electro-Priests have to be Lucius in order to teleport. Still, it's one way to move units up the board.

>not even the right pdf
Looks like autists have been proven superior yet again.

Jumpers, where might you find a red eyed naga?

>>55385980
There's a thing where once you post a specific file on a blue board it's listed as a posting error if you try to post the same file again. I think it's to try to minimise spam, hence what that other anon said. Also,

>implying autists would even know if they've been proven superior

>>55386015
The other thread has proven conclusively that is not an option, anon.

>>55386020
I'm pretty sure D&D and greek mythology have some.

>>55385809
>Could you autists just fuck off for a moment?
Yeah. Could you?
Seriously, man. Leave drama in the last thread.

Don't argue with autists

>>55385809
well this thread is off to a good start....

You mean the guy who is literally a pile of walking cancer? The one who gets dragged through excruciating suffering every time shit gets real and is practically wishing for Death to take his cursed ass?

ALLLLLRIGHTY THEN!

>>55384296
But that's what all players unironically do anyway.

Honestly at least a character that acknowledges it as their canon would provide a vaguely more verisimilitude.

>>55384104
because only males have access to higher education while women are sidelined and denied promotions
#EndThePatriarchy

because women usually have no problems losing their virginity before 30.

>>55384104
Demonstrably false.

Circe, Baba Yaga, Morgan leFay, the Morai, Semiramis, Cassandra...the list goes on.

I'm in.

Go to the nearest hobby shop that sells tabletop gaming supplies, and see what organized play they have available. Chances are they'll have some sort of weekly play for a game like Pathfinder or D&D. If not, see if they have postings from other customers at the store who are looking for groups to game with.

If the store has organized play, find the SRD for the game they play online to familiarize yourself with the basic rules, then look up the special rules for making a character under that game's organized play. Make your character and show up at the store on the night they host their adventure league. If you found a Looking for Group posting from another customer, get in contact with them and figure out if they want to meet you to make your character or if they want you to find the rules online. Either way, show up to the store on the specified date and start playing.

From there, make friends around the shop and get into someone's home game if you enjoy what you experience.

>>55383856
The nearest hobby shop is an hour and a half away is the problem

>>55383797
why would you ever want to inflict that to yourself?

anyway the friends i have that play D&D do so online finding campaigns on roll20 or in specialized RPG play by forum websites that host D&D campaigns as if the entire forum was one big persistent MMORPG world.
