Off the top of my head, depending on taste: Savage Worlds, Fate/FAE, Strike! and Masks could all be good.

tri stat, aka BESM, aka silver age sentinels. free to acquire all over the net.

One good thing is to make some places partially flooded and some which just have very damp flooring.
if everything is either fully flooded or not flooded at all it can get a bit boring. You will still want some dry areas though.

>If not does anyone have any suggestions or ideas for a Kraken themed drowned temple?
Steal ideas from an IRL pagan/animist faith like Shintoism, maybe? The local cult has started worshipping something a little bit more responsive than that particularly impressive rock out in the bay...

Also, Volo's Guide to Monsters has a bunch of stat blocks you could use.

The 5e module, Princes of the Apocalypse, has a decent water temple that has good encounters and enemies that would work well for a sunken temple

You'd have better luck just asking in the general. Also there are CYOA templates so you could start with those. Also write your text first, and in something with spellcheck.

I adore Arthruian legend, but because of that I try to hold back from using it most of the time, even if I've got a few settings and games lying around just waiting for their chance.

Of the games I'm in at the moment, the one with the most Arthurian elements is strangely a Magical Girl game in the Nanoha setting. Old Belka, a fallen magical superpower, was a land of knights and nobility, so the GM has been using Arthurian myth to flesh out the culture and backstory. None of it has been directly relevant yet, but one of the PC's was discovered to be a distant descendant of Morgana le Fay, we've found a few hints of the actions of an ancient, legendary mage called Merlin who is said to predate Belka itself, and we recently discovered a lost enclave founded by the followers of Mordred, reduced to primitivism in the remains of a once huge and advanced magical city.

>Seems like a perfect setting for D&D.
You had me right up to here, anon.

Bravo.

That better have been your character portriat

>>54043742
I joined a group to replace another player who bailed. I've been told I'm an improvement over the previous player so I think it's gone well.

>>54043742
>old player that starts a dnd group
>invited me over for a couple games since I got him into it
>bring a buddy with me
>group of weebs who just want to roll to bang and randumb shit
>roll up dwarf druid, had a vague backstory thought up
>DM tells me my backstory that I was raised by bears and buddy's character's dad murdered my bear parents and adopted me
>character resents his adoptive dad because murdered his real parents
>buddy's character is blissfully ignorant to my character's dilemma
>my character simply helps the party along and tries to provide decent insight when he can
>buddy's character rips and tears shit usually provides a solid plan
>only plot I can remember is that we went to an island, got transported into the past where the people only speak Druidic, and we eventually go back to the present and they apparently revered me as a god though they changed my name in their texts but it seems like it was my character
>the few sessions we went to, the party and DM compliment us on how we actually try to get shit done
>eventually stop going because it conflicts with my main group's schedule
>apparently DM killed off our characters and now the cleric has the spirit of the nine tailed fox and he needs to get the other tailed beast spirits

So, could have been better but it's whatever

It's in the 40k general.

If you're burned out, you might need a break. Take some time out, do something else for a while. Catch up on some movies you missed, read a book or watch a TV show. Give yourself time rather than forcing yourself onwards. Games are meant to be fun, after all, and if you're not having fun then you're not doing anyone any good, especially yourself, by forcing yourself to keep doing it.

I say stick your nose to the grindstone - resolve to write an hour each day, no more, no less. If the juices start flowing, then just write to your heart's content, but some people write in big bursts like that while other folks are better with structure - keeps you focused on progress while not overdoing it. Maybe worth a shot

>>54043004
Just use spirits to rekindle the fire. It burns very bright for a short time, hopefully the wood catches.

You'd probably have a better chance at asking a general like /pfg/ (or /pgg/, whatever they're calling it now). And lurk more.

Other than Heresy: Kingdom Come and Vampire: Jihad I can't think of any horror card games.

Don't Rest Your Head.

It's a unique style of horror. Most horror is based on the idea of powerlessness, that when it comes down to it you're almost helpless, just struggling to survive and maybe eke out a victory.

In DRYH? The players are the most powerful things in the setting. They can roll more dice than the GM can, by RAW. The catch? Every dice beyond your base amount makes the chances of an unpleasant side effect of the roll more likely.

It's never quite as bad as failing, of course, but it's still bad, and dealing with the consequence of one roll can lead to another, and another consequence, and another and another...

It's a wonderful system to run as a GM, because all you really need to do there is sit there and smile and watch the players inevitably destroy themselves, because all that power will go to their heads and make them self destruct in ways more horrifying than anything you could assert on them.

It's not entirely without hope though. They might find an exit point before the end of the spiral, they can have chances to catch their breath... But there's always that chance. To push on a little closer, to get just a little closer to their goals... And a little closer to oblivion.

It's a rules light game, but a clever one, actually making use of the nature of the system and doing a lot with a very basic set of mechanics.

The supplement, Don't Lost Your Mind, is also one of the best supplements for a game ever made.

This is the first time I've been interested in that game!

Black Crusade Renegade in a mixed Astartes-Mortal party. Somehow he's managed to survive an jaunt onto a reawakening tomb world, and is now maybe the leader/messiah of a cult aboard the parties ship. So maybe the last section isnt too accurate anymore.

We need more places for dungeons other than caves and ruins.We could use:
>A giant's log cabin
>Tunnels bored out of a giant tree by giant insects
>Serial Killer Hotel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._H._Holmes
>One of the party members Magic School Bus Style
>A skyscraper-esque tower
>The shell of a long dead dragon turtle
>An elephant graveyard
>A Hospital

>>54042361
>One of the party members Magic School Bus Style
Once I used that as the BBEG's lair.

Card draw tribal in blue (thought you want other cards that reward you for having a lot of cards in hand instead of drawing them because it's a replacement clause this in turn also negates nekuzar decks being played against you)

>>54041988
are you new to the format entirely or just want suggestions on a new deck?

Well my friend, the news is that Doombot died a slow painful death.
Astv is working on a new rig, it's mostly done.

Await us.
