So I'm building a generic Sci-Fi setting that I plan on running traveler in. I already have some basic ideas for certain parts, (A fairly new Human Federation, A couple alien races, A gigantic multi-racial alien empire that has become so bloated with bureaucratic nonsense that it barely functions, the remnants of a forgotten kingdom where slavers and all kinds of scum and villainy ply their trade etc) But I need more alien races to fill the galaxy.

Any ideas?

So I'm moving to a sorta small town of Napanee, Ontario.

I figure, if there is nothing much to do there, why not start up something? I figure, why not start up a Card / Game shop in town?

But...
Would like to know how exactly to start up such a shop. What are the basic requirements, necessary contacts, and the like.

I know for stock, I should have the basics such as hasbro board games, MtG, YGO, and Pokemon.

So... help a potential store-owner out?

Can someone fill me in on how Luck & Logic plays? With the anime advertising it being on air, I wanted to give the TCG a shot.

Where did the archetype of a guy in a black coat with a hat wielding a crossbow come from? It's too common to just be a coincidence.

Hey /tg/ can we get a thread for traps and ingenious ideas for traps?

I'm currently trying to design a wizards tower that's filled with traps for my PC's planning a heist.
They will be doing recon to make sure the wizard is absent at the time, so there will be little combat besides a door Guard or two. The bulk of the content therefore has to be puzzles and traps. For the purposes of the story the wizard is not overly cruel so he designs his traps to fuck with thieves and maybe harm them a little, rather than kill them outright.

Obviously pic related will appear at some point.

Here's one idea I have for a room near the end, close to the objective. Up until this point most rooms will have had only one major trap each. This room will have two. The first will be something fairly obvious, doesn't matter what, so long as the players think they've beaten the room and are ready to raise the exit portcullis via winch. Whoever touches the winch though is trapped within a bubble of magical forcefield, but so far there is no direct danger. Spectral letters will appear inside the bubble asking the trappee "Are friends a blessing or a curse?"

For the others PCs a section of wall next to the winch will flip, revealing a game similar to Hangman. They have to guess a set of words one letter at a time and for every wrong letter the bubble will start spinning around the room. Slow at first but speeding up with every wrong letter. After 3-4 turns the trapee will have to start endurance checks, and then eventually start taking crushing damage from centrifugal (or centripetal?) force, until they die or their friends free them. The answer to the Hangman game is "It Depends" as a reference to the riddle in the bubble, though if anyone can think of a more apt suggestion let me know.

Whaddya think? Any suggestions welcome. I want my traps to be hard, but fun, I don't want my players feeling cheated.

As a DM, what is the ethical thing to do if the "that guy" of the party has just informed me he desires to betray the party at some point in the game?

The first adventure hasn't even started yet. And I mean I'm not going to stop him, but now with this in mind I could have a friendly NPC with ranks in sense motive call him on his shit.

Should I just try to drop subtle hints to the rest of the table? I feel like outright telling everyone would be a shitty move.
