Ignoring the text (completely irrelevant to this particular question) where would a seedy, trade-rich harbor town spring up, assuming that trade could flow in any given direction?

It'll never happen so long as it remains an IP divided.

>>53091313
But how much would it cost to collect all the aspects of it, and who had that kind of money, leading to how could someone with that type of investment make a profit?
My only guess is for someone with a long term plan to make lots of vidya along the lines of a mech version of Cowwa Dooty while maintaining the rest of the franchise.

>>53163260
Is it connected to anything in setting? There a bossfight or something you've got in mind?

>>53163260
It's a big volcano. Or an undead zaratan

I'm a fan of the "this area is the resting place of a giant, unknown creature that died there thousands of years ago" trope to establish a place/land as creepy. With their massive, fossilized bones integrated into the landscape/mountainside.

Usually works pretty well, if cliche. It's ominous, and doesn't really have to factor into the direct plot unless you want it to.

Fucking rulefags. We are sick to death with the rules we want to know what happened to our setting. Throw us fluff bunnies a carrot already.

It's understandable. The really promising recruits get snapped up by the Little Sisters of Purification. The Guard has to take what's left.

it's a wonder sisters of battle ever get anything done at all lol

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>53160282
None yet, but here's hoping.

>>53160282
Some Thassilonian ruins, more Thassilonian ruins, other Thassilonian ruins, some extra Thassilonian ruins, an extra dimensional Thassilonian ruins and a golden city which is now Thassilonian ruins. We have faced wizards, wizards, wizards, wizards, wizards and I am going to guess we will in the end face at least one more wizard. Also giants. As for traps we had magical wizard traps, magical wizard traps, magical wizard traps, magical wizard traps, magical wizard traps and not any traps yet, but I am going to assume magical wizard traps.

It's generally considered one of the best 40k novels here and elsewhere so you aren't alone in thinking that, no.

>>53160140
I just started on 40k novels recently, still not in the loop when it comes to the most popular and critically acclaimed etc, but I'm not surprised

>>53160179
If you've just started, read Gaunts Ghosts.

Admittedly, I've only read the starter stuff; Gaunts Ghosts, Ciaphas Cain, Ravenor, Eisenhorn and a few of the HH novels, and they've all been great.

But GG is fucking brilliant.

Does a vow of silence also prevent you from writing or punching a villainous dickbag in the face as he monologues?

>>53159557

I play a life cleric who's sworn to never harm another soul after a patchy pirate related history drove him to the nautical god he now worships

thats a mechanical handicap, and I haven't had any complaints yet because my character is the only reason several party members are still alive.

so long as you play your character intelligently there is really no problem with a handycap

Your dm would probably let you just talk and then say your character communicated what you said on a note or something

One of those players just cut me off and said "Oh, okay, let's just follow The Prologue™, then".

I mean, I thought that "hey guys, we're being chased by squadrons of hunters out for blood. The wizard even cast an ice spell to cover the road, the rogue had the perception to assess the situation, the warrior ripped off the ropes that bound us earlier and it just seems to make sense to stick together for now" is a good enough glue for a quickly sprung up group of survivors.

I don't know, I feel like I fucked up. I don't know what to do when people just decide to spread out in an open area like a jungle like that.

I did prepare a whole bunch of locations and made some universal maps that could work for both forest and dungeon encounters. But if the players were to run off and suddenly be like "oh hey, you guys met up together after all, HOW CONVENIENT", it would make no sense. And it would also be a hassle to go "oh, well, Adam, Barbara and Charlie, you guys are exploring the long-forgotten dwarven tunnel. Derek, who is now like 30 miles away, make your Survival check to see if you managed to hunt down that raptor for meat."

I just felt a little scolded, like I disappointed my players.

Having "The Prologue" isn't the problem. Making "The Prologue" without any player input is the problem. A good DM should always ask the players what kind of game they're looking for and then run a basic scenario by them before starting. If the players want to have a laid back episodic adventure of dungeon delving and taking on quests, they're probably going to be alot happier if you start the game off with them as part of a guild or mercenary group or somesuch and present them with a list of jobs to take... rather than starting them off naked in the middle of a jungle surrounded by WTF EVERYTHING. Maybe your players just didn't want to do a survival-thriller The Most Dangerous Game kind of game.

>>53159471
Should have killed off the smallest group. They were hunted by a master tracker so giving up your only advantage (the road where you have a chance to run, and working together) is stupid.

fpbp, bb

>peaceful plane
99% of the plane is literally the dead coming back to life and trying to kill whatever they can find, uninhabitable desert, and wurms, may their passing cleanse the world.
The last 1% is a training facility training people to take tests that, more often than not, kill them in the hopes that they will pass, at which point they are rewarded with death. These people are stoked because in the next few days, their biggest baddest god is going to show up and kill them all.
Go take your terrible mischaracterizations and horrid memes back to Funnyjunk or whichever abyss of cancer you slithered out from.

My only real complaint against the Jacetice League is that they're the central characters, have no characterization, and apparently are only able to respond to BIG THREATS that are so GLARINGLY OBVIOUS they're EATING THE WORLD, or "Reeee badwrong government, no freedoms reeee"

The real question is what will happen when they decide the guilds are bad and Jace has to fix it. Hope he's got Bolas on speedial for that shit.

>>53159040
>The real question is what will happen when they decide the guilds are bad and Jace has to fix it

This is the weirdest shit to me. I though RTR was going to specifically deal with why the Guilds are so bad for everything, and have planeswalkers do something about it.

Instead Jace was just made into a "living guildpact" and some other nonsense, and the guilds continued on their way.

>>53157970
I made a thread asking about this earlier, except concerning Forgotten realms.

GW literally ended their line of fantasy battles, so why hasn't anyone stepped in to fill the void?
