I lived in the Darien for a week, if anyone has questions.

>Yeah, it's a rainforest. Everything here will be wet. Everything here is humid. Hot, but cloudy enough to where sunscreen isn't an issue.
>Semi-poverty. Imagine people in tribal huts, but with cell phones and access to TV. It's easier to get access to cable than clean drinking water.
>Some places are only accessible via boat. If there's a remote village with an important NPC, the PC's better have a friend who can pilot through some pretty thick marshes.
>Columbian drug runners in the forrest, Panamanian military checkpoints are pretty common sites on what little roads exist.
>Embera-wounaanis are chill as fuck, and are the primary indigenous ethnic group. Likely uneducated/illiterate, some potentially have a few years of catholic schooling. Maybe to 2nd or 3rd grade. Shirts are optional for everyone, but public display of kneecaps is showing far too much skin. Eye contact is also rude - imagine a PC desperately trying to stare into a woman's eyes to avoid her torso, while the woman does everything else possible to redirect his eyes away from hers. They really like eating rice & chicken.
>Spanish is the language of Panama, but the natives speak Embera/Wouunani/other random tribal languages. Most villagers do not know Spanish - playing telephone between three languages can be common.
>Panama City is the opposite of all of this - Imagine an honest-to-god Cyberpunk megacity, with the rich and famous driving past homeless beggars. The government only cares about improving this single city - often at the expense of everywhere else in the country.

Cyberpunk as fuck

Literally never head about this place, I will read up on this. Interesting.

Dungeon world Ranger has you choose an array then based on which array tells you how many things of each you give it; traits like are on gear or weapons (camouflage, ferocious, etc) but innate to the animal, things It's trained to do, and then flaws.

Since it has no stats of its own, it instead boosts your actions when It's doing something It's trained in. It helps you attack, listen, defend, etc.

>>55421965
our DM wanted us to keep track of a full on character for every NPC we hire or acculumate and now nobody uses them

>>55422460
no, see, that's the exact opposite of what I'm looking for.

So is someone making a destiny 2 jump? If not, would i get shitposted to death if i made it?

I got my first ever pot of Lahmian Medium today, I'm making custom mixes in separate pots. My only gripe is how much medium you need to use to make a glaze or wash. It's a fucking lot in comparison.

Meet my wife.

She's pretty young and doesn't quite know where she fits in yet, but apparently she's uber gifted. She's a major figure in the community, something like a celebrity, so I can get a bit jealous due to the massive amount of attention she gets. However she's kind of afraid of just how crazy people get around her, she's so damn pure.

A failed morale check forces unit to roll Constitution check, failure means you douse the lower half of your attire courtesy of your body's own shame factory. Also your movement rate is increased by 3 ft since you are now noticeably lighter.

Play by forum is good n slow.

I know some fetish rolepalying sites have notes where you can take as long as you like both to write and to respond, if you're looking for a serious story.

I once participated in a play-by-forum After Action Report for Crusader Kings 2 with several people. Players would play the same save in an order. One player would use "Random Character" button to get oneself a character to play as and would play until that character died in-game. Then the player would post the save back on the forum with a detailed post about what happened with ample screenshots. Of course, RP was highly encouraged for participants.

We played Crusader Kings 2 until the end date, then converted the save into EU 4 and played it until the end in there aswell. Now the save is being converted into Victoria 2.

It has some jarring problems that rub some people the wrong way is all. 1d4chan.org has more, shoo shoo.

>>55418303
What, are we just not supposed to discuss it at all around here?

>>55418153
Because of the effect it has on the hobby as a whole.
3.5 and 5e are not only garbage, they're popular garbage. If they were only garbage, nobody would pay them much mind. But at present, D&D is still THE RPG, the one with the most marketing, the one that potential players have already heard of and that they're most likely come into contact with first. And in doing so, they are taught that all RPGs are inelegant and unfocused messes of rules that are a chore to learn and to play if you don't modify them. So most of them will never give any other RPGs the time of day, because surely they must be as unpleasant to learn and get to work as their first system.

Sci-fi begins when it's set in the future or if it has technologie that doesn't rely on a magical mcguffin to work.

>>55417956
I'd say it boils down to how the power source for technology is explained. If it's a 4th dimensional creature they dragged into a containment field that is made of energy and can fuel a spaceship, it's sci-fi. If it's a creature from the lightning dimension that they dragged into a containment circle that is made of energy and can fuel a spacegalleon, it's fantasy.

How much of the settings mechanics can be explained to you without the use of 'it's magic, I ain't gotta explain shit'.

Too further explain: It would work something like this?

>>55417483
It's pretty mundane except for supernatural elements. Any generic system that models modern days would do.

Get them cleaned up and put them to use with the farms. The tribe will probably turn to banditry otherwise to feed itself.

>>55416558
Then you can ease them into the merchant life as they sell their crops.

>>55416512
Immediately begin working towards Archdragon, Disciple of Ashradalon, and that other Dragon Pretige class which makes me a fucking Demon God Pragon of chaos and evil rounded up, next to the late 3.5 DMG Epic Destinies and become a fullbown Dragon Demon Deity.

Fuck rape murder pillage and kill everyone else who get's in my way.

Seek to Genocide all dragonborn and replace with Dragonkin

Turn vermin storms into Kobolds and Dogs into Kobolds to get Dogbolds.

It's brilliant

>Uh, 47.
>Fine, then do the lottery and after that, buy aa ballon, that should bring you up to 60, so you're amused enough to take the rollercoaster.

Can't wait to minmax my fun.
