Rules were never going to help you.

The DM was trying to TPK.

>>53231114
Two things.
What is your character?
Make sure you sell that Wyvern skin, or turn it into clothes.

I smell a magical realm coming along.

Update: Inb4 muh fetish and stuff ... I am DM-ing for a group of not-Indiana-Joneses, who paid a few coppers to a local schoolgirl to investigate a specific room in a tomb. Yeah, not entirely good party.

Assuming ancient egyptian, probably wonder why she's dressed so conservatively.
Then assume she's a tomb robber and murder her

This. Splendid. Could you elaborate a bit on "dressed conservatively"?

Add a visual quirk (one eye, moustache that covers half the face, a purple bandana, etc.), accents, personality traits (greedy, hates race x, loves hearing stories, can't stand the color yellow), etc.

Make everyone with at least a tiny speck of plot significance distinguish themselves from the rest of NPCs.

>1. Start with a clearly defined and memorable trait.
"Bill the barkeep as a knife lodged in the side of his head. He seems not to be bothered by it."
>2. WRITE THIS SHIT DOWN
"Bill? Who was that? Oh- yeah... knife-in-the-head. Yeah, i totally remember"
>3. Vary up your initial responses to the players.
"Dude, why do all the shopkeepers hate us? We've never robbed anyone, but they are all just so antagonistic."

The other thing I had trouble with was making their speech anything more than just exposition bots , any advice for this as well?

Farseers give 1CP, Eldrad gives 3CP. thanks geedubs

Holy hell, Insane Bravery looks bloody nice for large units. I can see Orks/Guard saving the points for that.

How long was the group active?

I make a new group somehow, by separating the wheat from the chaff until I get a new one. Will it be the old one? No. But I hope the new one will bring me another kind of joy.

>>53229798
Figure out what I could have done better.
Determine if I want to keep in contact with anyone.
Start studying a new system to get over the time I put into the last one.

Please, I wish to hear your stories and ideas.
:´(

>>53229553
It really depends on if you're playing in a tactical game or in one without a grid, I think. I once had a GM try to use the idea of combined robots that could turn into vehicles against me, and while his take on it was... very flat and boring, I really like the idea and will probably use it in the future.

Basically, our fight with a giant robot ended when we cut through the knee joint and jumped in through a passage the damage revealed. We found the chest cockpit. (the execution was boring because it was empty, and any attempt to control the robot ourselves was met with "your commands are overriden remotely).

I'm not sure how much I like the idea of a bad guy making barriers, because breaking them has no payoff if they can just make more, and it feels like it could turn the fight into a slog. The only good payoff for multiple barriers is when the main character manages to overwhelm them all at once after a powerup or something, I think.

One idea I've never seen used is evil speedsters. I think it'd be interesting to have an enemy who can completely wipe you out through simple action economy, even in a narrative context. How could you even deal with that?

I think, for that to work, the players would have to have had an encounter with the villain, or atleast a good understanding of their power.
Then they make a huge trap (that activates fast enough), probably a group of traps, and try to get the speedster to spring them.

>>53229530
I can think of a few things I want to put in there, anon!

It's scientifically proven to be an orc.

Pokemon.

I'm pretty sure dragons win hands down.

the fortress of the salamanders can house most of the population of their planet during peak volcano season, so at least a few are certainly spacious enough to do so

the space marines wouldnt mind too much, as long as the guardsmen dont mess with their stuff

I hope daemon players can sell their army in time

Their first target is their school's vice principal who has been getting much more malicious towards the students. His Domain is the school, however it is in the form of a hospital/quarantine zone. Due to the virus he now views youth as a plague, they leach off adults and destroy the society that those before them created. The students therefore start to act more sluggish, lethargic, sickly, etc. in the real world. The hospital/quarantine zone is performing experiments to "cure" the plague, so like aging them up and whatnot. The vp's boss form is of a shadowy top hat wearing plague doctor. So as I said, I have a concept but no floor plans, any help with execution, gimmicks, puzzles, scenery, etc. would be appreciated. Thank you!

>>53228532
I know literally nothing about persona, so this could be entirely contrary to what the setting is about, but I'd suggest using medical equipment/staff as traps and enemies. Biohazard waste containers being turned into environmental hazards, have the enemies be doctor/nurse themed. Alternatively you could expand on the computer concept and adapt computer terms into physical hazards, like firewalls being actual walls of fire.

rolling for Initiative.
>a total of 6d10 rolls on the table
>4 1's , 2 2's

on the other hand, we have that kind of bullshit almost every session

Every role that has plot significance

My last game I failed to roll anything above a 5.
I missed every attack, broke my weapon, ate every spell and then got arrested for something I didn't do.
