So is "common" actually "human" or do we have our own special secret handshake language?

It's more of a trade tongue that's been developed by smacking every language in the world into each other on a semi-regular basis for generations.
In more meta terms, it's whatever you're speaking at the table for convenience's sake.

Pretty sure the first use of this was Tolkien's "Westron" which was spoken by most everyone north and west of Gondor. Most civilized people spoke it, even if it wasn't their native tongue. So something like Latin in the Roman Empire.

The goblins and other monsterfolk are demanding equal rights and fair treatment. They're also probably communists. How would your party respond to such a discovery? How would your setting at large respond to it?

How is Other Dust? I'm looking for a simple game that can run something in the vein of Horizon Zero Dawn, and this system interested me along with it's compatibility with Stars Without Number.

How would you fuse a magitech setting like Eberron with cyber aesthetics?
Some friends want me to run a game like that, something like working for a company and being the ones who handle shady shit, new tech, etc. Having a real hard time thinking of what the general world should be like or the first session. Help me out?
If not: Post cyber shit.

Use Shadowrun as inspiration.
Or if you want an original setting, have two empires - one magical and one cyber - who fought for centuries until one won.
Now there's entire magic being enforced on a corporate-cyber modern civilization or a corporate-cyber civilization is raping a magical-feudal land.

Get the setting supplement "Distant Worlds" from the Pathfinder trove. It was written before Pazio went to shit and gives some good space Magitech inspirations.

What would be the realistic size of a 50 years old colony? Earth like planet, but a bit colder
Would be the first colony in another star system. It would then lose contact with the earth.

How big is the initial wave of settlers? Is it known and planned around that there will be psoradic if any contact with the mother planet, or were they cut off by some unforeseen circumstance?
>>
>>54123090
Depends, how easy was it to move people in the first place. After 50 years people would have been procreating so probably about 1.5x whatever seems reasonable for a seed colony, therefore Im gonna say 600 on the inside, 1300 on the outside.
>>
>>54123090
You need to have 50-100k people to establish a more or less self-sustaining colony. And the population can easily double-triple in that time.

What would be the best way to replicate the tactical battles of XCOM? Are there any asymmetrical skirmish games that allow for equipping individual units with different tech? Preferably a game where units are individual soldiers with more than 1 wound, instead of a group of soldiers as with many wargames.
Re-skinning is no issue, I just need a good framework of mechanics to drape the aesthetics on.

I've always found Soldiers quite a bit like X-Com in terms of how the tactical combat focused around lines of sight and cover. But it doesn't really mix tech levels, it's all WW2 stuff.

>>54123062
RECON is what I would use and reskin the aliens weapons as dirty, subhuman commie weapons.

Hello /tg/, I feel like this place could be full of great ressources.
I have no problem keeping a game entertaining, setting the right pace for the events and generally ensuring that the players are having a good time.
However, as I am preparing a Scion game for three newbies, I was wondering if you could share some "scenario recipe", some ways you like to use to build a story that is lively and easily pulls a group toward an objective.
I would hate to do an over-simple "go kill da BBEG" or "bring back the MacGuffin" still of quest, I want my player to feel something.
I was thinking of giving the first session a sensation of accomplishment, with a story that could still go for half a dozen more. I know that fun comes from the right amount of constraint, and I want to push them to play creatively and be generally proud of their characters.

Bump, because while I'm late for work, you deserve an answer, OP
>>
>>54114792
Build from the bottom up, not the top down. Set an end goal but don't then think in terms of 'steps which must be completed before they can reach it'. Instead think what the players can do next session that would be interesting to do and then think of how to tie that in to the overall goal of the game. The basic point here is to make sure that priority one is that this session is enjoyable and has some sense of progress, which should be you thought when at the table. Eventually it will feel like putting off the final conflict for any longer would feel akward, which is where you switch your focus to bringing things to a conclusion.
