>Humans are the perfect race by crafty use of their options. They are a middle of the road type creature with a generic boost that allows them to fill any other race's role without the negatives. They're short lives don't hinder them because they adapted lineage and have a hogher rate of birth than most other races.

Short-lived, cannibalistic faeries that love to fight. If they are not killed they will eventually self-destruct into a cloud of spores that infect plants and forces them to bear faerie-fruit.
These quickly hatch into new faeries who are pretty much full grown and flee instantly lest they get poached by nearby adults.

>Chimera-folk with mostly avian/humanoid bodies, humanoid faces, horns, feathered wings, talons, and tails that live reclusively on steep tropical mountains. Their society has thrived from the use of steps to allow agriculture in their habitat, and the domestication of mountain goats. They're lives revolve around agriculture and family and they're not prone to care about much else. The males tend to have Lively feather colors which vary from tribe to tribe, while females have earthier times. Females also have smaller wings and while they can still glide, can't outright fly like males can

not very effective. It'd be great at giving someone skin-deep lacerations.

>>55328264
Lace it with poison, assuming that the poison phases as well you have an un-blockable poisoned weapon

>>55328294
it'd phase through the poison, your plan is shit

I loot the place after it's evacuated.

>>55289438
Nothing, because I've already evacuated. I'm not going to be the fucking dumbass that's stuck in a traffic jam on the highway while a category 4 hurricane comes my way.

Hopefully >>55289452 doesn't take everything because I also am planning on looting the place.

Well, the Martians have been cuckold by their treaty, which means their military might is about the same level as the Mercurian/Plutonian military, which is pathetic in the end run I know the Mercurians have those crazy heat weapons and Plutonians have those damn comets they love to use, but other than those things they're one trick Gublogs. I would give it to the apes for a couple of reasons such as the Lunarian and Venusian helping them we all know those werido's see the apes as kin and such, the other planets not helping the Martians because they're disgusting NEET's that talk the big talk but run into their bunkers when shit hit's the fan, and surprisingly the apes seem to be more intelligent then our favorite jackasses, which makes the apes more likely to win. However, in the end run while we all would be happy if those little red faggots were wiped out, do we need to have Sol War 2: Homo Sapiens Boogaloo?

I understand that fantasy is fantastic and doesn't even need to concern itself with reality but Earthers getting to Mars is completely unbelievable.

Even then, how they hell would they fuck up us Martians when they can't even Crack through their own thin planetary crust to get at our geofronts?

>>55289221
Stop talking shit, you little red faggot. You have no geofronts on Earth, we all have an agreement of not doing that. Remember the fucking treaty, or does the great Saturnian military need to drop another Von Neumann machine on your little dusty world? Did you forget that your world was nice and lush till you started the first Sol War, or is your education that poor?

6th generation metamachinery.

Aka: 'tools' that at no point are made out of matter.

Shoot it at an enemy ship, it'll convert the entire thing into a sphere of neutrondust.

Then hope it doesn't drift into a colonized planet...

Wanna know the best part? We tend to put into vote what's the next campaign and next system we use.

99% of the time it's PF and when I ask why we can't try something new, it's always "Pathfinder does it better." or "I don't wanna learn new system when it can easily be homebrewed in Pathfinder".

The only reason 5th is allowed was because it was to them, a dumbed down version of PF.

If it wasn't similar at all to PF or any of the other D20 stuff, they would have said no.

PoA scan when???

Ready for UA: Expanded Trinkets Table?

Yes, this is called an unconditional surrender. Look up the battle of the trench.

What tech level?

Anyway, the government not surrendering doesn't mean the war isn't over.

>>55325526
Israel supposedly has Operation: Samson.

If they get targeted by a nuke, they will nuke every country in retaliation.

Porn spirits and Amazon magath.

Next question.

What's the deal with the Oracles?
Are they good? Where are they? WHO are they?
How do the Watchtowers actually work?

Horizon

I've yet to see a theocracy done well in any setting, they never truly capture the complexity real-life theocracies had.

I always quite like the Ancient Egyptian system where the spirit of a deity (horus in their case) was believed to enter the body of the Pharoah during the coronation. In general I quite like the idea of the monarch as a living god in a fantasy setting.

It provides some excellent oppertunities for cuteness as well if another character becomes close friends with an extremely sheltered 'living god' and becomes the only person in their life who treats them like a human being.

If you wanted to lift a religion from my setting:
>Piety is the state religion of most nations and kingdoms in [Continent], officially centered in the Pontiffric of [Country]. The Grand Cathedral of [City] is the seat of the High Pontiff and his Cardinals, who issue formal decrees that carry Divine Authority of the Lord-On-High. Pious people of all walks of life are taught to venerate hundreds of Saints, and strive to emulate their example.
>Alignment: Lawful Good
>Symbol: Crossed Keys Of Heaven and Earth
>Holy Reference: The Concordat Of the Lives of the Saints
>An exhaustive and illuminated manual containing biographies and legends of The Saints. Pious believers are instructed to study, quote, and invoke the teachings of these saints in their daily lives and when dealing it adversity. Clerics of the Church must adventure across the land to discover and record the lives of potential saints whom they encounter, and preparing and publishing a Saintly Almanac is a requirement for promotion in priestly ranks.

>The Pious Trine
>Lawful Good: The Lord-on-High
>A stern, guiding father figure who offers afterlife to the worthy.
>Neutral: The Prodigal Son
>Represents the failings and redemption of penitent men.
>Chaotic Evil: The Winnower
>Tempts mortals to give in to selfish urges prove their unworthyness

Name three.

>>55324868
They're not really.

>>55324868
Because Moorcock did it.

I did one during the Weimar Republic, where all the Jews, Communists and other undesirable minorities turned into Zombies. The characters were supposed to be hired by an Austrian NPC with the dilletante template who had a solution, but somehow I never managed to get any players.

I did one during the Boer War where all the Dutch turn into Zombies. The characters get hired by Lord Kitchener to create a solution but somehow I never found any players.

I'm curious, how did the plague work on/effect these particular groups? Or is plague not even applicable here?

>>55287484
Give 'em opportunities to have some back n' forth, mention the two of them going out and spending time together, culminate in a declaration of love, fade to black.

Done.

I mainly GM MonsterHearts, it's a teen drama game so romance drama is a big part of the game usually. I've never had a player want to romance one of the villains but if it did happen, we'd play it out with the social rules the same as usual and see what happened.

If they literally just say "I try to seduce her" I'd shoot them down, if they present good enough tactics then I'd let them make some ability rolls. Something like having an ally feign death via spell or potion to convince her that they did it and they're on her side, I'd let them make some deception or charisma rolls. That would only win her initial truat though, and you'd have to split the guy from the party.

I like your writing, but I'm confused by your editorial. What or who are you criticizing? WOTC? Their writers? Richard Garfield? MtG players?

>>55287020
well, you know, just cause something LOOKS evil doesn't mean it IS evil.
