Describe the PCs and their stands.

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

What is the main villains stand? Something time altering, as per the norm?

Are there any multiple-act stands in your game?

what the fuck is this? one of those "let's reimagine this animal based on its skeleton only"?

>>52986462

Your problem is you are viewing the game as an exercise of personal ability, rather than a collaborative storytelling experiance.

Stop trying to 'win' RPGs.

You're in the wrong hobby, but look into 4e I guess.

>>52986833
What good is a narrative with no consequence and no stakes? Wouldn't it be more gratifying to get a happy ending that you earned through resourcefulness and an understanding of the rules, rather than having every obstacle be not only solvable but practically handed to you by the DM by default, except for situations where the DM goes out of their way to fuck you over?

Risus.

If you think Death is in a bad way, then you don't know how bad it can get.

The Alpha Duals. They go into every deck that can use more than one color and the only way to print better lands is to make them Basic Lands. They pretty much murdered the design space right in its infancy when they printed these cards in Alpha. Outside of some weird, specific scenario, there's just no bloody reason to play any other dual when these are legal, because there's practically no downside to them. So, instead of having several land cycles with various trade-offs be viable, we have the definitive two color land and no real choice in the matter, because playing an alternative is just flat worse.

So all formats but vintage and legacy are worse than vintage and legacy?

Has anyone ever run an innocents game?

The antagonist of my next scenario is actually a human.
He will be a serial killer oblivious to the nature of the characters who will attack the characters around dawn and will have access to the command system of the underground complex into which the PCs will be locked.
This is why I'm going for the confidence rollercoaster, I will have my PCs expect to fight some supernatural creature and get their shit handled by a mere psychopathic human.

So I might go for a sorcerer or maybe a group of ghouls, but I'd rather find something that doesn't even look human, so that it's more impressive at first.

Also, I don't know if that helps, but the hook for the scenario is that they'll be looking for some old artifact or maybe some old piece of lore about assamites.

Thats really a bit to broad to engage with. Anime can look like pretty much anything, and what do you mean by mix with?

So, let's say there's an island with a volcano in the middle. The volcano erupts, people die, a shadoeland is born. How do you guys figure this would affect the god of the volcano? Would the Underworld taint affect his nature, or would it just be a plain old god in a creepy environment? Would his ability to affect his volcano be compromised? Are there canon answers to these questions, or is this more of a "whatever works best for your game" kind of thing?

> Are there canon answers to these questions, or is this more of a "whatever works best for your game" kind of thing?

Whatever work best.

Most spirits find the Underworld and the Shadowland deeply antithetical to their own essence. In 2e it affects their mote regeneration, and very few gods can live in Shadowlands.

In the other hand, there is a scarce example of death tainted elementals and gods.

If you want that god to become all creepy and shit, it works well within the framework of the game. If you want that god to be the last untainted spirit of the land, it works too.

>Would his ability to affect his volcano be compromised?

Almost certainly. Most untainted gods will find a shadowland very unsettling, and with strange death essence. Its ability to manipulate its environment will be most certainly changed.

I find the lack of titan like proportion humanoid deeply unsettling in Exalted. It has absolutely every trope in existence - except giants, titans, and other oversized human.

There is nothing that say epic more than fighting against a 20 meter tall bronze behemoth.

I suppose i should mention the challenge part of this is to do it while refluffing the absolute minimum necessary.

Once again, starting us off, i'll go with rachel alucard. due to having an odd and very set up dependant style, she's a bit of an odd one to play as. She'd be a darkstalker easy.

However, her style's would easily be Contractor B/Elemental adept A With shock as the origin element. Either can be main, depending on how you want to do it. When you reach level 5, you'd go elemental adept B for her wind based abilities.

For equipment, You'd take the batbrella in the second expansion, and the royal gothic armor from the first.

The majority of your damage personally will come from your batbrella or element, so getting accessories like the jeweled ring in the second expansion to increase elemental damage is a good idea as well. You could also get a gliding cloak, and it would fit right in aesthetically.

>>52956552
Since there's so much variety in race and abilities in the arc sys fighters, you should be able to make some interesting builds. Give it a shot.

this is an anime as fuck system, so might as well use an anime as fuck game to showcase how it would do.

I mean, you can't kill the God (permanently), but if we're talking little "g" gods then sure I don't see the problem with it.

>How much do you spend on boardgames and other components?
I'm just staring out in the hobby so I've been trying to budget myself to about $60 every paycheck on games (most of that has been going to x-wing recently).

>Are you a compulsive buyer or do you rely more on discounts and used games?
Sometimes I'll buy on a whim but usually I try to vet each game I'm interested in thoroughly. Discounts are always great and normally I'd prefer to not buy used games just from my autism of wanting the game to be not damaged at all, but I'm slowly curbing that mentality.

>Do you buy boardgames or just go to game nights?
I mainly buy them because the nearest game store to me is an hour away and there aren't any gaming groups that I've found either living in the Southern US is torture

>How much do you spend on boardgames and other components?
Starting with the hobby, ive bought zombicide and eldritch horror and splitbuy imperial 2030 with some friends. Im spending around $80 per game.

>Are you a compulsive buyer or do you rely more on discounts and used games?
If i really want the game i just buy it, if its on sale even better! But if i dont want it that much i just wait for a sale. Im don't think i'll ever buy an used game, im really austistic about the preservation of the games.

>Do you buy boardgames or just go to game nights?
I buy them and i have some friends that also buy them , we have monthly encounters that we play board games.
