Kind of. It was more of an assisted suicide or a mercy killing.

My character was bitten by a vampire and started turning. Rather than see himself become a monster he asked the party to behead him.

In a Call of Cthulhu oneshot, attempted suicide. Didn't work because of bike helmet.

All the time. I Allah akbur quite frequently to everyone's dismay

if your just learning start with chaos and imperial navy.

List-wise start with pure cruiser fleets for the first few games.

spam swords and torpedo dauntlesses

Play DropFleet Commander instead. It was written by the same designer as a chance to fix the mistakes he'd made 15 years ago in BFG that hindsight had made clear.

>>54352985
I would just say do something that isn't kobolds since they're kind of overdone, but it's your game. do what makes you happy.

OP, I love it, go full steam ahead.

But you gotta throw dog kobolds in there too. The lizard kobolds won't understand how they squeezed out of the dragon/human conflict and it was cause race wars.

>tfw you learn a secret technique to reverse your sword so that it strikes with the force of a mace
what now macefags? gonna cry?

watch you don't break your cheekbones in when you try to dry those tears with your precious mace

>>54352674
While I am completely in favor of maces, I'll grant the sword has some decent qualities.
-Doesn't require much strength.
-Has a large damage dealing area which can make it easy to hit things with.
-Easy to wear.
-Fast and light defensive weapon.
-More reach than a mace.
-Small two handed ones like the longsword have the flexibility of stabbing, cutting, and bashing.

Still, I like the mace more. Takes no training to use (just physical strength), effective against almost any type of armor, you can hit with any side of it, easy to produce, easy to maintain, hard to break.

Swords are objectively cooler like Excalibur and Japanese katana nobody cares about a metal ball on a stick you caveman

Sune, Hanali Celanil, and Loviatar go around slutting and get away with it. Corellon cheats on his wives all the time and gets away with it. Helm caused 4e and semi got away with it. Asmodeus ended the Blood War and achieved godhood by doing what he was going to do anyway. Selune does fuck-all and actively encourages her worshippers to never side with good or evil despite being a good goddess and got away with it. Kelemvor is still god of death and the Wall of the Faithless still stands, so he obviously got away with that.

I am tempted to say being a god is awesome, based on that information.

>>54352187
Didn't Kelemvor get rid of the Wall, and made the afterlife a paradise, then got told to cut that shit out by good AND evil gods because it made them look bad, which effected him so much he put it back and dropped from good to neutral?

I don't play with autists or scat fetishists, so presumably sometime "off-screen".

any RPGs with poop mechanics?

>Britain still speaks english and france still speaks french in this timeline.
You know that's impossible, any merger happening so early would have (as normal) have the British royalty speak French, that's bound to get down to the peasants, especially if there are still French language reforms in this timeline.

>>54347876
I thought around this timehas the English language already developed?

>>54347850
Long term, us Britons would eventually end up speaking French. They'd bleed into eachother a bit, so you'd probably end up with some kind of Frenglish dialect.

Depends how long we're talking too, and what approach the French took to the different languages.

a simple one, but
>different weapons have different ranges
additionally;
>different weapons modify the rolls for various defensive and offensive actions. A rapier is better at parrying than a greatsword, for example. A greastsword is better at crushing through a parry due to raw force.

>>54346447

Fascinating concept, I feel it would work with armor as well. How about a mechanic to see how deeply a piercing weapon penetrates a target's flesh, with deep penetration being much more damaging, but also much more difficult to take the weapon out of.

>>54346447
In my homebrew martial arts system, weapons have different damage depending on their size and weight (I have a weight-damage chart). Wooden weapons can be blocked bare-handed, but metal weapons, especially slashing or piercing, can't, and the benefits of having a metal weapon yourself is that you may parry with less risk. Otherwise you're stuck with dodging everytime, or else you'll take fatal wounds.
You can also have weapons with special abilities like disarm, break bones, inflict bleed, crush armor, without them even being magic. Another solution is to make rolls with different stats, for example using strength for a polearm when you know you won't miss.

This is a naturally-occurring reaction in the universe once artificial time-traveling becomes too widespread, because it usually results in the people creating the machines being culled by outbreaks of vampires who only use their time machines long enough to eat all the people.

TIME of course being the global triumvirate attempting to unite the multiverse under their tyrannical empire. Their true identities are unknown but the multiversal resistance has dubbed them Those Idiots Messing with Eternity

>>54336153
More creative freedom and ease of customization.

>>54336153
More depth, than in video games.

Social interaction, player interaction, narrative and improvisation, roleplaying, relaxed instead of rigid rules.
If you just care about mechanics, sure, stick to videogames.

Making a general thread is a stressful experience. You worry about whether you've got a good image, whether you're going to forget the subject, whether or not to repost old thread jokes in the title...

Alternatively, elves did it.

Did the anon with the Shadowrun manga ever post his translations?

Reposted from previous thread: mech advanced melee combat options.

I've read it over twice now and I can't tell if it's too complicated or not. There's not a lot of extra dice rolls, but a lot of fiddly modifiers.
