As if 90% of the population knows or cares that a spinosaurus type thing isnt just what it was in jurassic park, a cooler t rex

What's the point of human space travel? We hold ourselves so far back by trying to make traveling through space possible for humans. Humans just aren't made to fly a ship through space. It's like making an aircraft carrier to transport a Macintosh 1. Other stars are so far away that a single human could never hope to travel to them in a lifetime, and then if we do manage to colonize a planet far away, they would be an entirely different world because of the time communications would take. All this is so much easier to accomplish with robots and ai made specifically to mine the asteroid belt, or explore the distant planets of Alpha Centauri. Why go on with people?

They are even easier to paint, as there is no need to go in miniscule detail. It's harder to produce AWESOME work of art, of course. But a workable miniature that looks good takes way less time. I know folks who paint 15mm units in time that takes them to do a good 28mm mini. Also, it's a go-to scale for non-40k sci-fi.

Anyway, why scale would even matter? Either you are okay with figures or no. Are you that insecure about doing anything not totally mainstream?

What's the CUH RAYZEE God/s in your setting like?

We have a god in my setting named Super Retardo. He was once a mortal, being a doppleganger of one of the PC's, and was promptly cracked in the head with a shillelagh for max damage, which I, being an idiot, deemed made him retarded.

Then, for some fucking reason, I could not stop rolling threes for his attack rolls. I shit you not, I must've rolled five in a row.

Finally, we nicknamed him Super Retardo and he ended up dying when his arm got bit off in the chaos of battle, at which point my sleep deprived brain said "And the angels sung thrice, and Super Retardo ascended, our Lord of Threes ascending beyond holiness."

So, now my pantheon has Super Retardo, the God of the Number 3, and whenever someone rolls a natural 3, we all say, in unison "All praise!", because we must praise His Name.

tl;dr: An enemy NPC got turned retarded and became the God of the Number 3 in my pantheon.

God of Jesters, Fools, and Illusions.

I plan to have players have to hold off his avatar while he makes an attempt at the royal line of a recently totalitarian state.
Both parties are in the right and also in the extreme. Some Law-aligned outsiders will be either allies our enemies depending on which they choose.

>Has a cane of infinite wild magic encrusted with countless jewels making a rainbow
>Also has a parasol made of drow silk and the baculum of a red dragon
>After becoming a god, he went on to found "The E'niele Scorpius Octavio the Fifth of His Name School for Wayward and Fabulous Orphans"

>Tysandrel "Ty" Neighwiener, a.k.a. The Funslinger
>God of parties and music videos
>Has two guns named Bingo and Bango he uses to shoot fireworks

>Steven Wozniak the Space Cowboy
>God of Computers
>Has two sentient guns named Ziggy and Stardust
>Exactly what you'd expect from the name

And many more. I should have expected as much when I worked into the setting that PCs can ascend and become part of the setting's mythology.

Think low tech version of "Minority Report"...

>>55329697
A series of questions to help answer yours:
1. Exactly how common is this magic? You've established that nobles, politicians and administrators often how these abilities, but what percent of the population do they make up? For example, do law enforcement have ready access to divination (important for >>55329819)
2. You've established divinatory abilities as the primary determination for social mobility. How does one go about obtaining these abilities? Are there schools for such? (I would assume that there would be learning institutions, but that they would use divinations to pick their students via invitation-only selection, or something similar?)
3. Exactly how powerful/clear/certain/far-seeing are these divinations? What is the gap in divinatory ability between the top and bottom echelons of the administration? (For example, you could say top-level diviners can do readings for the next few days at crystal clarity with a 95% success rate, readings as far as several decades out as if through a dense fog at a 30% success rate). This is important for the dynamics between the parties you've established, as well as how much stock is put into these.
4. Are there any ways to blank yourself from divinations?
5. How quickly can divinations be performed? Are there enough resources to be doing hundreds of these a day, or is it more of a big affair for the powerful divinations? What does the country's total divining resource pool look like?
6. Is there a way to verify the divinations of others? IE, have the readout of a divination appear in a crystal ball, in the form of universally readable tarot cards, etc. This is important to see whether or not the top-level people can do so mumbo jumbo and just tell everyone to go along with it because.
>>
>>55329697
>>55329970
My one contribution to such a setting would be the idea that all government officials with divining abilities should have official documents kept on them at all times, logging every divination they've ever made, as well as the actual outcome of the matter being divined to determine the accuracy of the divination. Assuming the top-level administrators are all crazy good at divination, creating spells to record this stuff should be within their capabilities. You could then make this a meritocratic prognosticracy where your political clout is dependent on how accurate your predictions are and what important divinations you've made.

I was hoping to tap into the r/RPG collective and brainstorm on what I imagine is a fairly common problem: How do you run gritty heist games with incompetent characters(not players)?

I love my group. They are a bunch of theater kids who grew up to become amazing, fun players. They always bring their A game with wild characters and perform their hearts out. It's like a crazy ensemble improv show every weekend.

I'm up to DM after the current 5e fantasy romp is concluded, and I have a cool cyberpunk-with-swords gritty heist campaign concept ready to go but I foresee a potential problem. Due the combination of extremely strong willed and flawed characters, the accomplished theater and improv actors playing them, and booze, the party is always a rolling garbage fire of infighting, character drama, and comedic errors. It's a ton of fun, but shit rarely gets done, which everyone is mostly fine with.

Things came to a head during our most recent session: a fantasy heist. Long story short: Rolling Dumpster Fire happened, we got the goods, but half the party is under house arrest and the other half is on the lam in disguises, one person we still don't know where they are, and there's ball bearings and knock out gas all through the church we broke into, and half the town is on fire.

I'm too invested in the setting to do something else and I already have player buy in to try my campaign. Do I just accept that it's going to be closer to Cyberpunk Fargo with Swords than Blade Runner with Swords? Has anyone had experience shifting the party dynamic towards party competence? How would I go about doing that?

Barring actual advice, please share stories from your dumpster fire campaigns, especially stories about incompetent professional criminals.

You have two choices:
> Talk to your players and ask them to change.
> accept that it's going to be closer to Cyberpunk Fargo with Swords

Talking to them is the only way you'll get them to change.
>>
Choose a system that enables roleplaying and allows for failure to promote more than just "you don't get to do what you wanted to."

You could re-flavor Blades in the Dark to cyberpunk pretty easily,

In an ascended DH game right now and our party is currently at the end of a campaign arc.

There's a sort of viewing scope aimed at a star that is driving people insane who look through it (simplified explanation but enough for this thread's purpose). We're planning on destroying it but I really, really want to look through the scope.

Dubs decides what I do.

This may be a bad idea but I made a little story on a character I made a while ago. 40k dark heresy-rogue trader character named Ricktofen Strif. Originally no one special yet with development he went from penal legionnaire to guardsmen to navy guy(low rank to somehow Admiral in the span of 3 dark heresy games), you get the point. Now you see having a 10k year old ad mech (how to get away with age laws) Admiral laying around in 40k, I figured what the fuck did I make? So I made a story to kill him, but because he was a character that I did make with time an effort, I wanted to kill him good and painfully. Now the story is not top shelf material and more then likely there are loads of errors, yet really fuck it I was bored. So here you go elegan/tg/entlemen.
