>Isn't there literally a manga that covers the time between rebellion and meguca.
That'd be the Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc.

>Kyouko is and always will be best.
She knew not to waste resources, knew not to waste time on familiars because they do not drop any grief seeds when killed unless they have grown into a full witch, and that a only after eating a few humans -- approximately four or five according -- they will grow into witches themselves.

>Have you ever used any Planeshift material in your game?

I'm making a 5e campaign for MTG, so yeah, a lot. Especially since there wasn't a Planeswalker's Guide to Amonkhet.

How about you go buy it on DDB, save each page, zip it up, and upload it?

>>55381041
Come on man, your competing with television, radio, video games and the internet. You HAVE to make it more interesting.

>>55381041
You said we could be *insert pc option*, so why are we encountering them!
Why are you such a shit GM!

I'll tell you what I don't like about literature.
Literature expects you to read through mountains of exposition. Paragraphs of character description. Pages of descriptive settings.

I swear to god, if I'm reading through that much junk, I expect to be tripping BALLS by the end of it. I expect you to have blown my fucking mind. I want to either walk away feeling transcendant or going WTF was that?

What's surprising, that the sneak did something independent or that the party was mad that the sneak did something independent?

the faction was an optional thing and it's the one token evil faction (zhentarim), it's a pretty good morally/lawfully party despite no LG types, and he went alone to a known vampire lord (at least he knew, from a previous job) with the big bad thing. and expected to walk away with it somehow AND have something to show for it?

internally i was like dude why are you going to

I'm a novice GM and I've been building it for Call of Cthuhlhu, but having finished a year-long campaign, I was left dissatisfied with the system (I was playing 6th ed)

It might not be the system's fault, because now I see that it was built for slow-paced "bookish"-oriented gameplay. I do not fully understand how you roleplay hours in library. And whats the point of rolling for it, really? And even if that it is, action, as I said, lacks a lot.

I was playing more of Indiana-Jones thing. The year was 1924, and Russia just few years after the civil war. Three heroes (scientists, but the field kind) are sent to the deep Siberia, where Tunguska meteorite once fell, and the Evenk people live.

And so, in the deep forests of Siberia there were too few libraries, and too much threats and cold and wind. For one, I didn't see any decent rules in how to roleplay extreme conditions. I had to come up with mine, but they really sucked just as I do. Have I missed it in the book?

Now, of course there were also extradimensional horrors, and I kind of like the sanity system, but I do not know better - so the questions is, are there better alternative mechanics?
If not, then I'll just borrow it from CoC anyway. But the combat, the shootouts, dodge mechanic, close combat - all of it is unsatisfying, even though sometimes there are exceptionally dramatic, fast and lethal moments.

Picrelated are people of Evenk, which live in those lands.

What a dumb and cancerous idea

Just play trading card games instead.

Attempting to make darkness is always rendered useless as the rays of the sun pierces and burns through the fabric and materials, rendering shelters impossible.

Secrets are considered "darkness" by the Light, and thus hiding things is considered punishable by Radiance.

>>55378812
with the absence of darkness comes the absence of night, which in turn means the absence of sleep for the living.

>>55378713
That's not funny, people died.

Try to show a little class, OP.

How do you manage to post on 4chan without knowing what a fucking MacGuffin is? Been around long before vidya existed.

>>55378805

I always thought of MacGuffins as singular items in a plot but I guess these play an identical role

>>55378832
Then, to answer your question, I'm okay with 'em if they're done well, be they generic or snowflake.

Also subconscious character theft thread, I guess.

>>55378573
Change the motivation.

Farmboy looking for revenge, richass in it for sport, nerd making a bestiary, priest out to evangelize his patron and protect the common folk.

Pretty much all your characters will reflect your outlook on life.

That's just how creation works.

Well, I have intentionally broken my trend, and played characters who were mean or such, and it was a good exercise in playing the game and developing as a player, but I had to distance myself from the character since I didn't like them as a person.

But I think making characters you don't like is a good exercise in itself, if it's on occasional.

>>55378263

Well yeah, those mean characters act according to your definition of mean.

I want to say HP Lovecraft but the whole industrial/pre-modern themed eldritch horror genre has been overused a bit.

I guess unpredictability makes for good suspense, but not to the point of predictably unpredictable.

>>55378069
Oh yeah, and what >>55378069 is doing. Suspense. Don't make it obvious like if you don't reply to this your mom dies tonight.

Just good little unpredictability and reading this makes you immune to the previous curse.

It's fun to be a goodhearted dick, ya know?
