I'm playing an elf so I'll assign myself a -1.

Dragons are completely inhuman—they’re enormous, they’re nigh immortal, they’re inherently magic, and they’re reptiles. It should not be assumed that they think like humanoids. Dragons take the long view, and their motivations might make little sense when viewed with human logic. An evil dragon has no objection to waiting hundreds of years to take revenge for a slight, and is happy to do so by slaying the descendants of the one who wronged him. They might think of humans as nothing more than viable subjects for magical experimentation—an unending source of lab specimens.

Why do dragons covet wealth? Is it simple status among dragonkind? Are riches a component of their mating rituals? Or, to put a darker spin on it, suppose that dragons are not attracted to the intrinsic wealth of an item, but to its perceived wealth for the owner. Under those circumstances, a dragon is just as likely to slay a destitute beggar for his last copper piece as she is to steal a caravan of gold from a traveling merchant—because that copper piece means everything to the beggar.

What sort of fantasy drinks have you come up with?

We've got The Succubus's Delight. Its a mixed drink of vodka, strawberries, a little bit of salt. Historically it was done as a shot out of a cute girls navel, but health codes put a stop to that.

The yellow makes me think of Angel's panties. Anyway, I'll take the centaur and try to get her a personality of her own.

>>53203021
angel would be a wondrous mount, especially if you bullied her by taking away her panties first

I couldn't help but notice that this thread is lacking in genies. Perhaps a kind anon would be willing to fix this situation?

>>53202386
Instead of bothering yourself with making up shit you make players make up shit.

>>53202386
Get some friends together and play Fiasco. I think there's a lot of fun to be had in a very tight narrative experience that thrives off of intense improv and collaboration.

Hoping for some kind of Elysian reboot personally.

Also first for Plastic Sisters

Cadian re-sculpt when?
Or preferably a more interesting regiment?

>New game starting
>Everyone wants to play fighters or warlocks or barbarians
>Nobody wants to be a wizard or a cleric
This is going to be a very tough campaign.

>I am trying to decide what my character's general purpose is on the expedition for trouser snake. Originally I was going to be a doctor, but there is already a doctor. Now instead I am looking at possibly going for a linguist or botanist.

Both of those are excellent! From what I remember of the AP, there's equal weight placed on understanding what plants do what, and what language something is written in. Maybe you're a recent graduate from the University of Lepidstat, and you're currently traveling to the Mwangi Expanse as a gap year as much as for research?

That's a mudrerhobo base of operations if I ever saw one.

>>53200192
Do you know how much money does it cost to keep one of those things running? Well, you can always squat and make an unhealthy fire trap.

>you can always squat and make an unhealthy fire trap.
Sounds like the perfect job for a pack of gaming gopniks.

>In matched play, your points will be capped across the whole game. So if you’re planning to summon units to the battlefield, you will need to set points aside to do this.

Lame.

> in the future, points for units could change without invalidating existing books – so if one unit or weapon starts to dominate tournaments, or certain units don’t seem to be carrying their weight in competitive games, we can address the balance.
That's pretty neat - looks like they actually intend to give a shit about balance and actively fix things on a fairly continuous basis

the enemies in Prey are really weird, they almost seem transdimensional.

>>53197195
So in order to unlock new abilities you need to scan specific enemies a few times with a psycoscope. Mimics obviously can change into things, far smaller than the components of a human body can compress into, so that elevates the power level of the universe in my mind at least. To get the electric power you need to scan electric phantoms, to get mind jack you need to scan telepaths. Etc.

So you scan with the psychoscope a few times and unlock research, and once you've scanned enough enemies of a specific type you unlock the ability on the tree and can use Neuromods to get their abilities.

I would imagine that this device would work on anything it encountered providing it was based in some kind of science. I mean you also get abilities based on robots and people you encounter. So you've got trans-dimensional entities and mundane entities covered.

The issue with the description is the leap in logic the game makes with the abilities of Neuromods, I mean even in the "human" trees you've got purchases that make you super strong, increase your stamina and health, so it clearly does more than adjust the connectomes in your brain, but the lore doesn't quite cover it. It might have something to do with the exotic material in the injections but I don't know.

Mainly because space banana is awesome, and so is synth wave, but partially it demonstrates the physics defying abilities of the most basic power.

>Thread 1491
Did you ever go and alter history by discovering something before a famous explorer Jumpers?

>>53197303
Okay. So are there any limits to these? It seems to take a fair few scans but once you have them are they just free use like who you got it from or do they work on some sort of energy?
