What fucking battle? Shieet nigga, leading an army into a swampy forests is a poor tactical choice at best and a fucking suicide at worst, monsters or not.

Men tire easily, bugs crawl underneath your clothes, carts either stuck or moving at the snails pace, provisions goes bad fast because fuck, everything is wet and dump in this place all day everyday. Making bonfires is a fucking nighmare, because there's hardly any wood suitable for It and most of the time It's also fucking wet. A party of adventures could get themselves a nice bonfire. Good luck with warming up a fucking army.
Seiously, think about those poor motherfcukers. They are going to be so mad.
Oh shit, this tree fell down a few months back and blocked this beck right here so now we have to wade in this newly made lakelet and somehow transport of our wheeled shit on the side.

And THEN you have barbarians and monsters, turning this shit into Jurassic Park. A guy went to take a piss? Alone? Oh. Bad choice.

Easy to learn.
GM though doesn't have much to say when it comes to dice rolling.

I got the same impression. As an experienced GM, though, I was thinking to play a little with environment penalties to bend the CDs in a given situation - but I might be horribly wrong and fuck it up if the system doesn't let me.

For the sake of something different, does anyone have any experience with A Dirty World?

So, a week ago someone made a thread asking about a game simulating Yu-Gi-Oh and similar stories. I suggested MaOCT, and since I could not stop thinking about it, I threw something together.

Feedback is very much welcome.

Okay dudes, how would you make Aigis in WT for 150 pts? I have a rough idea, but I'd like to hear some opinions.

>I sentence you to a lifetime of being a roadie.

You could do worse.

>>54213996
...and disadvantages:
-if your group goes on hiatus for some time, world will change a lot in the meantime
-you will not have 100% control of your world
-you might have trouble incorporating more outlandish cyberpunk settings (for example Shadowrun, which while awesome, is hard to easily combine with others)

Any thoughts?

>>54213996
Each group ia actually hitmen for a certain megacorp.
DM are the Mr Johnsons of those Megacorp.
DMs are in for working together and against each other for the control kf the grid.

Nevermind it's a retarded idea.

>>54214061
Yeah, that could actually work. Different factions would have different power levels and depending on who got hit, they could rise or fall. This would also be connected to the in-game stock market, thought I have not yet figured out how I want that to be incorporated, but I guess some players could make a killing by buying stocks of a corp and then destroying their rivals.

This one's actually interesting, I'm not so sure about SplitSuit's flop reasoning. I'll run some numbers in a moment.

If by "played" you mean keep losing to the guy who had the Hierophant, then yes.

>>54213595
None of us had a hierophant so I never played against it. My Necropolis Sect buddy's Order of Vlad was pretty fucking terrifying though. I liked Atlantis Guild a lot, had a Magus, Storm Golem and all the guardsmen/demi magi one could need. The other guys collected Elemental League and Black Powder Rebels.

It wasn't a very balanced game in retrospect, but that didn't matter to us. I guess we were too young to WAAC-fag so we just played the figs we liked. What faction were you into?

>>54213566
What is that, like Heroclix for losers?

Well, considering Skaven have depopulated most of the world anyway, I don't think there'd be much of a reaction at all.

Zombies
Dark sprites
Possessed dolls
Dog sized blobs of flesh
Dazed and mind controlled cultists

>>54213240
For a true horror game anything actually supernatural things are probably something low level or even mid level character shouldn't really be able to fight. Just send crazed cultists with all sort of weird mutations and deformations.

>>54213240
>runs modern horror game

you're the only enemy the game needs

Pike on the virtue of being easier to manufacture and learn, which is I think the most important thing when it comes to mass combat.

>>54213068
Neither, Pollaxe.

It has reach, does all 3 damage types, can be used in formation.

They're like a party game. You can't run a campaign in it unless you're doing it in a kind of cinematic anthology way, where each adventure arc is just one viewpoint into a massive event unfolding.

>>54213009
Of course it's treason.

I think a Paranoia campaign works best with a dedicated goal in mind, and that usually means a shorter runtime than a longer one. To me, I think the fun of the setting could wear itself out over an extended period, but I suppose your mileage may vary if you want to play your character, their clones, their clone's clone's kids' clones and so forth.

Please report to the disintegraters.

>>54213037
Everything I read up on about it suggests it is better for a shorter campaigns and one offs, but there's something super appealing about the idea of seeing the troubleshooters try to really get through the ranks and make it to the top (and probably crash and burn trying.)

First for moon druid

fuck druids

third for barbarians

If the premise of the campaign is Wild magic, a Djinn might not be a good target; they generally filly the word of their contract while ignoring the spirit (very Monkey's Paw like), and I'm not sure if the binding clauses would even hold in your world. In other words, they might get summoned, pretend to totally be bound by a Wish contract, and then do whatever.

Now, if you say they are tied to a contract by DM fiat, we can go with one of the usual methods. First, a good counter to Djinn shenanigans is to offer one of the wishes to them in exchange for fulfilling to spirit of your wish, with no untoward twisting of the intent. Include in this payment that he must depart without harming you and your friends, either through action or inaction. If he fulfills these things in good faith, he will have access to a wish for himself.
This generally works, since it leaves open the impression your character would be willing to do this again for him in the future.

>>54212863
What spells or preparations could I take to ensure it couldn't just rampage when I bring him to the plane. I have a Wizard in the party and he's essentially the only other spellcaster. What other spells or slik tricks could I try to pull to help make the fight even short of Planar Binding?

Djinn are normally tied to a generic contract by the summoning item used (magic lamp or some such). This prevents the Djinn from using its abilities outside of the wishes. Because Djinn able (and willing) to grant wishes are Lawfully aligned, the best chance you have is to obtain a contract prior to summoning them.
If you think combat might be required, it would be best to have anti-magic preparations. Something to prevent spells, or to fireproof your chars would be good..
That said, you can always just go for the bum rush option- tie him up in multiple body grapples until he promises to behave (make sure to do a dimensional anchor first). A Djinn is strong, but a few high Str chars can handle him, depending on high important the Djinn is. Note this option might make further negotiations awkward.

The mayor of the city has announced new plans to allow magic mining from large scale companies due to the city's particularly strong magical energies. While profitable for the town itself, this threatens the local charm makers, ritual crafters, and the small magic businesses at large. The party needs to figure out how to get rid of these big companies coming into the city, either by convincing the mayor that it's somehow more beneficial to stick with local business, get rid of the mayor and hold off the deal, or go directly to the big companies and fuck with them.
