What's a good way to package and present campaign setting information?
I have about 30 pages of world info and I want my players (and random strangers on the internet) to get invested in the world, but presenting it as a WALLOTEXT is never a good idea.
Should I maybe mash the text with related pictures as 1-pagers that I can hand out every once in a while when relevant?
Should I set up a wiki that players can read at leisure (few do, IME)?
Should I have random clue and gossip tables that slowly leak the info out through NPC interactions?

Give them the relevant information in bullet point form. Condense and summarize as much as possible.
>>
>>53967236
Give each player a shortened version of what their character should know. Everything else they can find out by playing.

It sounds very cold, boring and formal when I've done that, like a powerpoint presentation about accounts receivable.

Our group wanted to do a Fallout game using the Fallout PnP system, and upon noticing that the system has stats for playable Deathclaws (including intelligent ones) we got absorbed in the idea of playing a Deathclaw tribe trying to build a civilixation of our own.
How might it work to RP tribalistic animals like Deathclaws? What would a Deathclaw civilization look like?
And how far fetched might it be to have a Deathclaw that can figure out how read and maybe understand how FEV works?

Seems pretty reasonable to me. They'd have to hole up in a pretty isolated region though to prevent any local powers from coming down on them hard though.

>>53966509
There was a tribe of intelligent deathclaws in either FO1 or FO2 with established laws, etc, that you could draw on for information. They were all sterile, though, from exposure to the Forced Evolution Virus.

Kastelans explode now and that is hilarious. Picture it, a squad of 4 kastelans with powerfists and flamers going on a suicide mission with built in bomb vests. I already have strategies to fuck with people.

Mutants and Masterminds.
Character creation is tricky and lengthy and you NEED to stress that the objective is not to make the most broken/powerful character but to make the most fun and entertaining one, but you can make literally any kind of cape book character imaginable and the actual system itself is almost ridiculously simple.

>>53963732
I'll second Mutants & Masterminds 3e, especially if your group has ANY experience with d20 systems. If you do, the transition will be incredibly easy; that's the biggest reason why my own group adopted it.

There's no such thing as Skaven. Any such rat-creature or "rat-man" as some call them is just a form of beastman abhuman or mutant, and should be dealt with accordingly.
>>
The concern I'd have with them being in 40k is that they'd just be another swarm race like Orks or Nids with nothing really special to make them different besides being rats. I'd say focus on their more chaos related elements more. Maybe make them a race that actually prospers through chaos without fully going nuts and chaos worshipy.
>Constantly fighting which please Khorne
>Constantly fucking which pleases Slaanesh
>Constantly scheming against others and each other which please Tzeentch
>Constantly in filthy and terrible states which please Nurgle
They're going from place to place trying to spread and conquer, and through their chaos ways inevitably bring chaosfags with them, but despite all of it never fully submit to chaos and can hold their own against them.

I wanna get one. Well you see I was gonna get the T'aunar before the 8th dropped. So what I plan to do is buy the Index (which is the same price as normal indexes). Once I buy it I will determine what forgeworld models, up to the value of a T'aunar, I will get. So if anyone beats me to it, lets hope they drop it on this thread.

Sup /tg/.
I was going through my files and found all the old Scraplootas stories (you know, these guys https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Scraplootas); I had saved them all in text files as well as a reading order. It had been a few years, so I decided to re-read them all.
As I was doing this I realized two things:
1. The reading order could use some reworking.
2. Having them all be in separate files was inconvenient.
So I decided to compile them all into collections. The main big book collection listed on the 1d4chan page is missing stories and never went through any proof reading, so I fixed up whatever typos and grammar I found while I was re-reading.
I figured I might as well share them here.
So, here's the complete (kind of) collection, in four volumes:

>Original Greentext for Blue
>What's an Ork?
>'Ow I Found Meself by Boris da Titan
>Shake!
>Happy LootWAAAGH
I moved the epilogue of Dat Blue Grot to the end of 'Ow I Found Meself since that eplilouge takes place after all those preceeding stories.
I moved up Shake and Happy LootWAAAGH to earlier in the reading order since they made more sense as earlier stories.

Two Tribes - A Grotocracy Story
I didn't compile this one. It's long enough to count as a volume all on its own. Plus it already has "two" in the title, which is convenient since I count it as volume 2 in this.
Thinking about it, this was done back when you still couldn't post pdf files to /tg/.
I took inspiration from this one in how to compile the other collections, though I feel I wasn't able to do a good enough job with the cover pages with the collections. It's just something I didn't have the know how to do more properly.

I condensed The Grot Means Business, The Grots Herd Themselves and the other stories about The Grot into one chapter.
Afterthoughts are also part of A Business Proposition.
And some general rearranging since some stories talk about jobs they're getting ready to do and others reference those jobs as having already happened.
