While I appreciate the Jonestown reference, that sounds a little silly.

An old west game mixed with a JRPG aesthetic. Darkish setting but more over the top elements that lighten the mood, focus on character interaction and RP.

I see a Ranger with a smug horse, a whisky swilling Paladin who's tired of people's shit, and a magic user/mechanic who's come from the bigger cities along the coast with her fancy motorcycle.

What's so good about Isle of Dread?

No, vampires are a boring overdone trope and Ravenloft treats them in the stereotypical way.

I dunno, it seems Marty just couldn't understand he was hurting anyone until he himself was hurt. Then he actually became a good day.

For like an hour or two at least.

>How do you balance guns in a fantasy world?
Thunder cannons or nothing dont allow shotguns or else you will have your players walking up and doing crazy damage

>How do i really show off a bad guy without giving the party the opportunity to try (and fail) to kill him right there?
id personally allow them to try but the thing is let them actually hurt him but once he gets to half hp (or 75% or even 95% if hes a real fag) just have him flatten the party with a aoe attack (dont kill just leave them incapacitated and not bleeding) and when they get the mcguffin it will disable that attack
Depends on what level you are trying to make this bad guy for though if its higher your players will likely call bullshit
if its 1-3 or 4-5 its still likely they would just shrug it off and say "yeah makes sense things are stronger then us"

>sacred artifact used to kill said bad guy? if so, how would i go about it? one for every member, or let them fight over it?
Depends i think the most common mcguffin in anything from movies to games is a object created just to temporarily weaken the bbeg so hes on the players level
but a sword that can hurt him while he has resistance to literally everything else could also work though it would be kinda fucky if you have more then one melee fighter

You don't, and you shouldn't try to. http://thealexandrian.net/wordpress/4147/roleplaying-games/dont-prep-plots

That's a good blog, and most of the "Gamemastery 101" is worth your time.
Pic related is also good for new GMs. It's 11MB, so I can't post it directly. It's in the OSR Trove.

No, you're not alone, you're just kind of dumb, mistaking an annoying fanbase (hint, most fanbases are annoying) to the stuff itself being shit.

Steampunk is fine. It's the annoying fan base and the fanfic levels of bad writing that plague the setting. Also I think most people prefer it as a supplement to another setting such as fantasy.

>>54158420
But with the exception of The Difference Engine steampunk as a whole is shit anon

>Has your character ever been part of a rebellion or a revolution? Did they win?
No, but his father fought for Andoran's freedom. Was quite a success.

When those filthy commie nazi bastards from Cheliax come to invade like you know they want to, he'll be there, as a proud paladin of Iomedae who stands for truth, justice, and the Andoren way.

Depends on how its handled. I'd be more willing play with someone who's a talking gorilla or a talking lizard, not so much a talking dog or a talking cat.

>>54156744
I already play as one.
She's a goose.

Eeeh. It makes things weird and complicated, and I always have to wonder why the player wants to play as a telepathic housecat or something.

Weirdest example I'd ever had was a guy in my game that had played as an awakened monkey wizard, but he adamantly refused to reveal it to the party, even after it had become an open secret out of character. He kept himself bundled up in robes and insisted he was a gnome. So it's like, at that point why are you bothering playing the monkey, aside from fucking with your stats?
