With all this talk of bread...

>The Curio Shop
Too cute. I just hope the shopkeeper is okay.

Give him a pointy hat that talks.

Give him a cresset that does special things when you burn books in it.

If he likes what he plays, then all is well. If it is a crutch, then you might introduce an item that turns the character in a new direction.
>Pointy hat that talks about overthrowing the evil king of badland, of which the cursed prince-hat is the rightful heir
>Pointy hat from hell which promises forbidden knowledge at seemingly little cost

Last time, on DG1: A Female Knight was possessed by a Champion Archetype, becoming bigger, faster, gaining like eight cup sizes, and a bit of a meathead brain. After transforming the battle from a bubbling caldera into aerial platform, our heroes had, uh, paused. Because it was late and people needed sleep.

>Atolm and Astarte each deal light damage to the Champion, sealing off her AoOs (though not counters or legendary-reactions). Celisse claws a little into her as well.
>Meanwhile, Freyda holds and readies her actions. Blakely is on his way down and needs a significantly softer fall than his current acceleration and heading would suggest. Living to be brought to justice and all that.
>Moments later, Lameeka uses her Ulama Strike against the Champion
>LEGENDARY REACTION! The Champion counters with a Keijo of her own, and a fatty thunderclap resounds across the skies as cheek and cheek collide!
>The recoil is significant, yet Lameeka's experience and sneak damage edge out; her rear will be marginally less red and sore than a woman twice her size!
>As she slumps down in disarrears, The Champion is caught by Zev, who uses her maidely knowledge to pin her arms behind her back until she cries...
>Uncle. She actually cried uncle. Several remarks may have been made.
>Freyda slowly decelerates and telekinetically captures Blakely, whom at this point is feeling dead inside. The combat ends as the other side is screaming relative.

>It is exposition time. Having lost, The Champion and The Knave are willing to answer some questions. It doesn't help that her own stupid actions nearly killed their own hosts.
>The dragons are annoyed at being referred to as deuteragonists. Some philosophical waxing and waning is had on the subject of being the center of a story. The archetypes explain a little of their origins; such as The Champion being a story by Kronk, who first wrote a tale of a really strong man who wrestled a mammoth for three days and nights before killing it with a rock.
>There's also The Knight, that came thousands of years ago, and may have some records available for the dragons to discover from sometime before a guy named Aroden.
>Guesses are had as to what other archetypes must be. The Dickass Thief? The Slut? The Old Man In The Cave That Gives Advice?
>Atolm assures he can take on The Slut one on one; he's read books so he totally knows what he's supposed to do he says
>Under all this may be a universal force of narrative. But, that's not the summoner now is it.
>The Knave points out some other roles however. Ones not summoned directly to possess, but possibly held by the dragons, in a way. The Witch, The Knight, The Fool, The Maiden, The Wise Man, and The Lover.
>Atolm doesn't get it, and Astarte is assured that the terms are gender neutral
>The possessed knight does not know who summoned them, only that a gaunt bald guy with a jeweled eyepatch and a gnarly cane summoned The Knave, and told them where to find treasure.

But Remina wasn't exactly Solar System sized, Anon. Besides, everyone died at the end of that story anyway.

>>54212289
Didn't they end up in some flying saferoom?

I've never liked openings that involve an early f4/f5. Seems like a bad idea to rip open your king side like that.

>Played chess for the first time in like a decade
>Against a 10 year old girl
>She utterly rekt me
Is it time to give up?

>>54213065
where did you find a 10 yr old girl?

>>54212055
That didn't happen.

>>54212175
Is there any example of Ork time travel in the fluff?

>>54212190
The closet thing to that is the old lore where Orks would just say "Ere we go" a bunch and travel through space because Ork.
So no.

>>54212035
While I liked the game, the explanation behind the power was pretty nonsense. Even so, we had something similar in an old campaign I played in. An alien goddess arrived and "turned on" magic for the world and suddenly everyone could do magic, but a tiny percentage of the population could do so much more with it and were basically elementals.

>>54212035
So it's Chi. Got it.

the rich will live forever while the poor will have to constantly spend resources to raise and educate their children before they die of old age

If it could somehow be affordable and available to a huge number of people the impact would be different. Things like environmental issues would bother people more when they might actually live to experience the impact of their actions today.

>>54211992
I think its unlikely that the rich will try to turn it into an exclusive thing because that would cause some serious actual class wars. The population will continue to ride while the deathrate will plummet, giving us a reason to finally go colonize and terraform other planets in our system for lack of room.

>>54212419
>The population will continue to ride while the deathrate will plummet
I doubt it. We will just have other health problems (heart disease, cancer, alzheimer's, various degenerative diseases, etc)

>your dog runs off for a moment, before dropping a ball at your feet. You hear a small child crying in the distance

>>54211989
>Whining when enemies do something other than throw themselves on the swords/bullets of the party, instead acting like they want to win fights, or if that option isn't on the table anymore, just survive.
>Agreeing to something in session zero, and then acting surprised when it comes up, or even upset.
>Not getting that people with political or other forms of institutional power don't necessarily have good combat stats; also the converse, I've lost track of the number of times I've gotten either confusion or outrage when you have a powerful troubleshooter working for a relatively weak boss, without actual problems in the working relationship.

That's why you need that there druid with beastbond

ironically, GW shunned them.

>>54210699
Same reason we never got closure to all the Shamans that made the Emperor or the sensei.

Some things are just retconned and never brought up again.

>>54210699
Games Workshop chose to make them into Dr. Doom and leave the cosmic horror stuff to the Tyranids. That's fine in its own right, but I am gonna miss that whole aspect.

>>54210537
Closest I can think of is the Soul Drinkers.

They never turned to Chaos, but they were mutated almost beyond recognition, went renegade and were declared Excommunicate Traitoris, but they always worshipped the Emperor, and they were trying to act in the interests of the Emperor and not the Imperium (hence the excommunication).

Looks awful. How and why is it better than AD&D 2e?

On the offhand chance that you're not a shill, can you drop a pdf of the rules so I can see what this is actually about?

>>54211429
It seems to be a card game? Or maybe a boardgame?

>If he can only manipulate technology, that means he can manipulate many things; spears are technically technology.
>If he can only manipulate machines, then wouldn't he be able to manipulate simpler ones, such as the levers on a catapult or the hinges of a door? What of locks?
This is bullshit and you know it

>>54210251
If I knew, I wouldn't be asking.

I think anything that involves mechanical or electrical power, like a lightbulb

started watching Neal's Frozen Frontier series on his own channel, it's really great

better roleplay than any rollplay show I remember

I pretty much love everything that handsome bastard Steven Lumpkin GMs. Don't think I've seen any series that I really hated. It's fun to hear them roleplaying while I'm doing chores or something,

Its gone downhill since the dissolution of the original group. SWN was the last thing that grabbed me and they botched the ending of that pretty hard.
