So I have recently started playing Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor and so far I have to say that I enjoy it quite a bit, especially the Nemesis system where you brand your captains and groom them to become superstrong and whatnot.
But I also love RPGs and I thought to myself: how cool would a game be where the party is the evil orcs invading some place and where they have to fight a one man army commando guy like the Gravewalker?
So a fantasy game with a mix of Paranoia in it where some players might get branded and then have to murderkill other Uruk captains following the whims of the Gravewalker.
What other cool shit could I throw in there?

I don't know if that'd work out very well. Player parties tend to be smarter than their DMs, on a collective, and having a single character like that be a legitimate threat to them would almost certainly require DM fiat and fudging rolls.

That's a fair point... it would be better if it was more than one big enemy that they would have to worry about.

I like that idea
It's often hard to make combat challenging in an interesting way without using other factors.
You can also use the environment as a way to give your players alternatives. Once I made them fight an ice golem on top of an inactive volcano and the engineer in the party (who is ususally pretty useless in combat) spent half of it looking for weaknesses in the mountains structures to put explosives in, then created an earthquake and that heated up the volcano and made the ice under the golem melt so that he couldn't regenerate health.

So, my FLGS is actually going to be open tomorrow for the 4th, and they're hosting a Red, White and Blue Draft tournament.(One pack of each color)
What am I in for and how should I go about doing this? What are the basic tips for Draft?

If all the cards will only consist of Jeskai......then stay open to all of those colors. If there are enough mana fixers, build Murica! If not, pick the best dual color combo from your pool and run with it. Don't forget to prioritize removal, evasion and enough synergy to have some long term resilience if needed. Have fun with it ^_^

Hey got a question about daemon princes in 7th edition 40k... been using battlescribe to do up lists in an easier manner but every time i add Daemon of Khorne it says "daemon prince cannot have any selections daemon prince of khorne (hidden)"
Literally cannot find any mention of this in any other rule book so what's the go?
Pic related my skaven daemon prince of khorne hahaha...
Don't have the best pic my camera (or i am) is retarded just focuses on shit it wants to hahah... "might've" dropped it hahaha
Here's some fluff for you on the how haha
So going back to fantasy - as most agree " When the polar warp gates of the Warhammer World collapsed, warpstone was scattered around the world as dust and as larger chunks, and large pieces occasionally fall to the ground as meteorites. It is not known if these are naturally-occurring chunks that drifted through space and were captured by the Warhammer World or if they were launched into orbit at the collapse and subsequently returned."
So the actual reason behind these large pieces occasionally falling to earth isn't re-entry from the Warp Gate explosion (well maybe one or 2) but it is in fact a master plan invented and executed by The Lords of Decay.
Obviously warpstone being the most vital and valuable object in the Skaven world it is always in low supply.
Because it must always be found and in turn a lot of it is then used to find more it has become a zero sum game. And logically since there can only ever be a set out (about the size and weight of the gates), The Lords of Decay frantic for more banded the grey seers together into a massive ritual experiments using chunks of warpstone and began sending Skaven through into the Warp Realms in search of more abundant supplies of this "solidified Chaos".

Now finding out the hard way they cannot actually bring the warpstone back directly through a warp gate due to the unstable properties it houses, when they initially tried they found that it warps everything within the vicinity into an unstable chaotic mess which is then dragged straight back into the chaos realms from whence it came.
To combat this effect they devised a way of opening their return warp gates into the space surrounding earth being as there is "nothing" there to cause the warpstone to go "nuclear" and letting gravity do the rest, of course being Skaven they fuck up more often than not but where the warpstone that misses our gravity well ends up is anyone's guess, it is probably floating out in the cosmos drifting into other planets & moons gravity fields and creating more Skaven/Chaos infected creatures where ever it lands.
To which realms and how many survive the warp is unknown but with an endless supply of rats they keep sending them regardless and warpstone keeps infrequently falling from the sky.

Depends. Are you actually trying to ground your fantasy world in a certain time period or just trying to throw something together? Because you don't really need anything in the latter case. Otherwise it would depend on the level of accuracy you want and the time period you're shooting for.

What if I wanted to take Ancient Greece and remade it as a sci-fi setting--with each polity being its own planet, moon-base, or space station?
>>
>>54144872
Well I would suggest reading at least one collection of greek mythology (they vary so much that it doesn't really matter which), probably the illiad and odyssey, and some historical sources on the different city states. I can't help you much with the specifics on that last one, I can't think of any of the top of my head but it's not a huge area of knowledge for me.

Gentlemen!
I am looking for a board game to play that combines action with territory control and army building, similar to how the Dynasty Warriors: Empires series does. Something centered around the players controlling a single "General" who controls an army and takes over land, then battles the other player characters for supremacy. The mixture of hack-and-slash and strategy really gets me going. The game doesn't have to be set in the Three Kingdoms Era. I just used it as an example for the type of feel I'm looking for.
Before someone suggests it, I know that there is a R.O.T.K. board game out there, but from what I can tell it hasn't been translated into English.

What backstory questions do you ask your players when starting a new game? Do you have a list, a worksheet, or any parameters or requirements? How do you get a good backstory out of your players? Do you encourage them to enrich the world?

Generally I don't want TOO much backstory from my players before the game even starts, but I do usually try to cover a few points.
>Short description of your childhood
>How did you acquire the skills you have today
>What made you want to become an adventurer (or whatever the plot of the campaign happens to be) and what do you hope to get out of it?

Let's play a game /tg/
Pick four characters. They are now stuck playing generic fantasy setting together.
Who DMs? Who plays what?
I'll start.
Hal 9000, IM, GLaDOS, SHODAN.
IM's obviously GMing an extremely high lethality campaign as a "That GM" who thinks the goal of the game is killing the party (or more accurately torturing them for all eternity)
Hal plays a Lawful Stupid Paladin and attempts to rigidly adhere to all the "directives" of his chosen god, often getting stuck in logic loops because of it.
GLaDOS doesn't want to be there, but rolls a minmaxed munchkin set like Pun Pun just to spite the GM and metagames like hell.
SHODAN rolls a maniacal planeshifting wizard with a god-slaying fetish.
