Have I ever tried NOT playing a cute character?

>Is Vash a good basis for a PC?
Nothing is a good basis for a PC

>would it rely way too much on being ten levels higher than everyone around you?
Exactly

Facets of characterz have the potential to be interesting. A skilled Western gunman is always a neat idea, and in the right system with the right group, I could easily see a "Pacifist Combatant" done well, particularly in an M&M campaign.

Beyond that, wholesale use of a particular character is indeed a bad idea.

No, unless your PC is supposed to be an overpowered goofy Mary Sue.

>>54330413
Depends on the edition, and also the exact plans your DM has for the encounter.

>>54330413
Yes, regrettably.

>>54330433
5E.
Yeah, I know Pathfinder is better.

I have seen a lot of definitions of what "lovecraftian" means for people. I won't ask to anyone to settle on one because I don't see a point, I just want that anons each say what their definition is.

Me, for example, summed it up as "fear and insignificance in face of the infinite unknown".

Pic is the kind of deep sea horrible creatures that Lovecraft didn't get to know.

>Pic is the kind of deep sea horrible creatures that Lovecraft didn't get to know.

Ehh. Uncertainty is far more scary than actual freaky creatures. Reality rarely lives up to the panicked imaginings of a human mind faced with the unknown.

Note that some of this is a bit outdated.
>Hey. I tried something like this in the CYOA thread and there was enough interest in forming teams and shit as characters I decided to make this into an entire thread on its own. Basically you use the Worm CYOA to make yourself a superhero and join a team. The goal of this thread is not to build super OP characters, but build interesting characters who would work together in teams. Compared to the regular CYOA this is a low-power game. The CYOA itself is super easy to break, so there’s a few rules to go along with it to maintain the theme of the thread, keep things balanced and prevent this thread from turning into a race to make the most OP character possible.

>The setting itself is Metropolis, a typical extra-large New York sandbox rip-off. Even though it’s all the same setting you can pick Gestation, the Golden Age or Worthless Opponent as your scenario, but it won’t mean much more than a difference in starting points. Canon characters – Contessa, Skitter, Eidolon, Glaistig Uaine, etc – don’t exist in Metropolis. Every organisation mentioned in the CYOA still exists, but with none of the canon characters in it and they are based out of Metropolis. The Protectorate and the Wards still exist, as does the PRT. The Guild is not Canadian. The Undersiders are pre-Taylor heisters. The ABB and E88 are locked in a turf war and the Merchants sell drugs to homeless people. S9 exists and you can be in it, but you’ll probably end up with a kill order on you.

>1) Duplicate powers don’t stack. Two people with power fluctuation standing next to each other would not buff each other’s power fluctuations. This is to stop the most OP builds.
>2) You can only spend a maximum of 15 Shard points on powers. This includes the 3S it takes to upgrade a power to its second trigger. This rule is in place to stop people building characters with a million high S powers (vigilantes I’m looking at you) or who are otherwise obscenely broken – Worm parahumans are closer to being x-men than justice leaguers in power level. It also stops everyone from taking a million flaws to get ridiculous powers. We can’t all be vagrants who got kidnapped and tortured by S9 and Ziz. Conspirators are the exception to this rule – they can spend up to 20 points on powers (perks of being cauldron).
>3) No Abaddon shards, Trump second triggers, or Negentropy. No-one has Abaddon shards in canon Worm and this is a low power game anyway. Negentropy is a no go because the entities lose all incentive to hand out powers if they’ve developed immortality. If you’re upset because “muh immortality” keep in mind as a parahuman you’re unlikely to live for much longer than a decade anyway (life in spandex is violent and short). Trump second triggers are broken. All of them.
>4) No more than 3 Endbringers at a time. First come first served, and you play like canon Endbringers – you periodically show up to wreck everybody’s shit.
>5) I’m thinking of making this into a proper RP if I can find a decent place to host it. No drop-ins or gifts – let’s keep it in-character.

>>54328079
>A few final notes:

>Case 53 flaw x1 = you are a human with a few extra parts, like elf ears, feathers in your hair, weird pupils/irises/sclera, extra fingers etc. Think Canary from canon.

>Case 53 Flaw x2 = you are still recognisably humanoid, but not as a “human”. Think Gully or Weld from canon – you genuinely look like a monster and ordinary humans might be nervous or quick to judge you.

>Case 53 x3 = you are no longer recognisable as human. Think Garotte or Mantellum from canon. People who see you will think you’re a monster and may run screaming from you.

>Having a kill order on you means you did something truly horrific or awful, or have repeatedly shown yourself to be too dangerous to be safely apprehended by the authorities. In short, you’ve killed people and as a result there's a fuckhueg bounty on you, which anyone - from heroes to sinister villains to rule-breaking vigilantes to every yahoo with a gun - can collect on, with no questions asked an no attempts to arrest them. They just stroll into Protectorate HQ, drop off your severed head, get given their money and walk out, even if they're a wanted felon.

>Vague bits on powers can be filled in as you feel appropriate for the character so long as you don't abuse it. For obvious reasons powers that mess with the past are banned, precogs are advised there's a boatload of Blindspots running around.

>Both Entities are dead.

you could have just said "GoT/ASoIaF Thread" instead of posting obvious bait. It even has a TT Game.

Go on and tell me it was a coincidence.

>>54326246
lilly is a manipulative, callous bitch
Elspeth was ok, then they Zeus'd her
Kiora wasn't doing so bad either, messed up quite badly at Zendikar and could be given a story arc to give her some character growth, hopefully without Nahiri-ng or killing her in the process
>>54326321
wasn't ghoststabber loady WB? and her abilities were quite different, and she was from a Conspiracy block

>>54326246
Elesh Norn is a pretty positive role model, to be honest.

Like, if at first you don't succeed, peel off your skin and exterminate all organic life in the world.

The GM not having a name for every single background NPC isn't 'That GMing'. There's improvising, and then there's trying to keep up with players prying into every little irrelevant detail, especially if, from the sound of it, you didn't give them any time to stop and think about things.

Entitled fucking players.

Drop the converted mana cost of creatures and spells by 1 to two mana costs, depending of what it is.

Make Splice more generic, and lower the cost of most cards by 1-3 mana.

Done.

>>54317085
>Make sure the names of Bushido and Ninjutsu aren't those names

>Splice onto Instant or Splice onto Spirit (and Tribal Instant/Sorcery - Spirit)

>For an even larger redesign, Enemy Color funtimes with the tribes (WR foxes, UG moonfolk, BW rats, RU kappagoblins, GB snakes) and the support for such

>>54316335
No. It happened all the time IRL.

At a certain point it's a bit weird though. You can't feasibly carry that many weapons, and it's not like extra weapons will help you. You could sell them, sure, but there's lighter, less bulky things to loot.

>>54316366
Armor fag, historically speaking if you want to loot the smallest piece of plate armor with the widest fitting (IE, you can sell it to almost anybody as it will fit almost anyone), you loot gauntlets. Not only are they terribly expensive to make, they're one of the most crucial pieces of armor for a soldier lacking a shield and you should be able to pawn them off for a pretty penny.

>>54316931
That's pretty interesting. Thanks.
