A slightly fast pace for releasing core material

>>52964005
totally rework warlock and ranger for starters

How to convince a group of friends to play 5e? They seem non-committal.

>France is West of Spain
>The Crescent Empire is entirely desert despite being at the same latitude as the most green parts of "Europe"
>The Cathay 'steppes' are full of hills

Still a setting I'd play though.

>>52963982
>NotYurop divided into west and east
>West is mostly generic fantasy that isnt touched upon, it only exists for players to come from a feeling of familiarity
>East is Morrowind level weirdness mixed with Ottoman empire and whatnot.
>Setting is primarily a central Empire Buffer State thats a mixture of the Byzantine Empire and Austria Hungary

The setting motsly works by giving the players something to associate themselves with in the west and the east never beeing fully explained and just beeing weird as shit, bleeding into the area the campaign is set in.

Climate and enviroment is completley unrelated to europe tho, its got temperate prats, freezing glacies aswell as deserts and huge volcanic areas, generaly the further you go east the more terrifying and inhospitable it gets.

Civilization is mostly there in the cities, where it flourishes and has many trappings of modernity.
Smaller settlements are far lower in tech and ofthen dont have a lot of contact to the larger cities.
Wilderness is incredibly dangerous and populated by monsters from the east.
Country riddled with ruins of past civilizations that attempted to tame this rugged borderland.

Its great for adventuring alright.

I don't have a not-yurop so here's a risk: Armageddon I'm making instead

40k is technically just a poor version of Fantasy, considering release dates.

Rolled 471 (1d816)

Lmao why dont you murderfuck a chaos God into existence again and watch as most of your gods and your species dies and you have to save your souls in some buttplug for all enternity you gay ass fukken knife eared dumbass fuckwitted geriatric "our men are prettier than our women" fairy looking celibate wraith boning cockholster aspected shefag weak little fukken pansy vain arrogant space elfs.

Maybe youd have a right to a collective ego that would make tzeentch blush if you hadnt raped a warp hole larger than said ego into existence and wiped out your entire pantheon of gods.

You know why necrons will always be better than you faggy space elves? Necrons didnt need anyone to tell them they were a dead species.

THE STARS THEMSELVES probably werent even around the last time you did anything midly interesting.

Fuck off back to the webway you pale joke.

>>52963269

I'm a member of the species that isn't currently on the brink of extinction.which, all things considered, seems pretty food to me.

Gin Tama?

Meiji restauration Japan is a precedent, albeit not as strong.
Japan is weird in that they managed to successfully merge a lot of advantages the western powers gave them with their own values. They looked at european countries and said "ok this worked, this didn't work, we need to do it like that".
They actively learned from others' mistakes in order to reduce the gap, while conserving a lot of their own identity and customs.
An other example would the Krogans in Mass Effect, who are like Japan in that they were uplifted by other powers, but to ultimately try to fuck everyone other (kinda like Showa Japan), and to be taken down by the more ancient powers.
In both cases, as you said, there are remnants of "useless" things like ceremonial objects, rituals, and an importance given to spirituality we have lost in western societies

>>52962824
I wouldd suggest looking at Klingon culture from Star Trek, as that's effectively what they are.

>>52962758
L5R

It's pseudo-Japan the way fantasy usually does pseudo-Europe, but it'll do

>>52963435
OP, don't do this.
L5R is so wrong it actually ends up countering real life norms.
Choose an era, first off, and go from there. Early Sengoku is not late Sengoku, and early Edo in little way resembles later Edo/Meiji.
Toshiro Mifune movies often take place during Sengoku or early Edo, and feature a lot of society showcases.

>>52962758
GURPS Japan is a reasonably good resource, no matter what system you're using.

How many players?
Do/can different players go in to different businesses?

You could leak info about another players dirty business dealings.
Slip a reporter some money to write a hit piece about another player, or write a nice puff piece about how your new development helps the community.
Don't forget to make contributions to politicians.

>>52962605
OP Here.

Each player buys one business and can later re-sell it to others if he feels like.


>You could leak info about another players dirty business dealings.

>Slip a reporter some money to write a hit piece about another player, or write a nice puff piece about how your new development helps the community.
>Don't forget to make contributions to politicians.

These are exact ideas I am looking for.

>release a "green" or "healthy" version of a product, that is exactly the same at a marked up price
>the Chinese investors are coming to inspect the construction site! hire some laborers to dig random potholes while you supervise in a hi vis vest, roll to bluff
>your future son in law is plotting with the competition, discreetly pay for a cocaine and escort fueled party, leak the pictures

is that the kind of thing you want?

FUCK YOU THIS IS MY SETTING FUCK YOU STOP READING MY FUCKING MIND FUCK YOU

>similar gravity, day-night cycles

I'm more interested in how they managed to increase the moon's mass sixfold and increase its rotation 27-fold. Where'd that energy come from?

>>52962429
And how have they not destroyed civilization on Earth doing it. Or have they?

If they managed to increase the moons mass so drastically maybe they were also capable of moving it further away from Earth to prevent unholy tides on both worlds. This would mean that Earth and Luna can no longer even be considered planet and moon. Earth and Luna are now twin binary planets.

So you have a post-cataclysm where pre-cataclysm humanity was pretty fucking god-like. Assuming Luna and Earth are both knocked down to pre-industrial levels by whatever fucked the shit up it becomes an unknowing arms race to see who could build up first. Who ever regains practical space flight first, or at least makes interplanetary missiles first, dictates the way shit is going to go.

>>52962134
Kill him for requesting such an audacity.

>>52962134
I don't care how many times you played hide and seek with me dude, that doesn't justify all those public executions and your retarded tax code.

>>52962134
I execute him. He's happy, I get my revenge, justice is served, I get to ignore DM's bullshit plot hook, everyone's satisfied.

What are the odds the sexyJUMPSCARE or erinyes-reverse-trap-inbred-infantile-wisdom-dumping-tier-4-classing-fuckboi get in, versus Maximum sleep already having made up his mind?

Iron? Salt?

>>52959929
wood from certain trees?
Metal from specific regions?

>The wood from the Aberdash tree, isn't the strongest wood, but it has the additional effect of stopping ghosts

>The metals from the volcanic region of Bumblevolcanofuckville, make weak weapons, but will stop ghosts

>>52959929
iron
salt
flesh, specifically living human flesh
flesh, specifically NONliving human flesh
moving water
dense metals, originally thought to be gold, turns out to be several related compounds.

>fights against slavery
>fights against serfdom
>fights against tyrants
One of their special abilities could be getting the peasants and slaves in the immediate vicinity to revolt and help you out as allies.

You'd probably be fighting against the nobility far more than you'd be fighting under them.

>>52959344
I would think that the point of a paladin of freedom is to fight for those who aren't able to fight for themselves, not to use them as literal meatshields.

>>52959384
I think he's talking about a "peasant uprising" vibe. Not a "minion master" vibe.
