On a short term, you can survive off some small things.
Long term, you're going to ruin your body, especially a party of adventurers. You need meat, calcium, ect.

Ugh.

It's either that or have a really absurd situation where they sit around doing nothing for literally 12 hours but somehow that doesn't mean anything to get rested.

>>55198404
Take it on a case by case basis. In the tournament setting, they're probably not going to be running into any trouble outside of a controlled environment, and, if they're competing, there'd likely be resources to keep the combatants in top shape between matches.

In a dungeon, there could be monsters at every turn, they're likely hungry, meaning they need to set up a fire and such. I highly doubt they'd be able to find to completely rest, between looking for traps, keeping watch, translating the ancient runes on the wall, maintaining their equipment, etc.

Again, it depends.

>What would I need to do to be able to do that?
You need to be a god.
>What components, rituals, etc. would be required to make it happen?
None you can possess. Enjoy your automaton wife, maybe gods will take pity and turn her into real human.

Farm modrons for logic circuits, forge into artificial brain. Enjoin your new AI robo waifu.
If he complains tip fedora at him.
>souls

Ya gotta steal one (or at least redirect it). The easiest way would be to remove the soul from an infant at the moment of it's birth, and shunt it into your preferred vessel. Some people might say this is basically pedophilia. They might be right. Your wife will have the psyche and soul of a child. This would likely still be true if you created one from scratch however. Either way you would be creating a child fuckslave in the body of a grown woman. You monster.

3 is the most interesting.

1 would make the best actual game.

>>55198011
I'd vote to play 1.

>>55198011
I vote 2
Also make this game theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScV5tNmHbgw

I mean, if you really expect your players to want to listen to the villain talk, that's pretty naive. And to then punish them for not listening is vindictive. It would make sense to punish them a little, to make the point, but to end the whole game over it isn't really teaching them anything, it's more of a petty response.

I've also wiped parties for making stupid mistakes or forgetting important things, but it was things they knew about, mistakes they understood they were making. If they have no way of knowing that what they are doing is the wrong thing, and really, you can't claim that killing the bad guy appears to be the wrong thing unless you have established that it is, and you then punish them, it serves no purpose. It doesn't further the story, it doesn't make the experience more fun for anyone, and it doesn't teach them to be better players. It is purely an ego trip on your part, where you are punishing them for not doing what you wanted, which is questionable to begin with, but when you never even told them you wanted it, then you're just doing your job poorly.

>>55197971
They've got no-one to blame but themselves.

You'll get a lot of "hurr durr u should give ur players everything on a plate so they don't cry when they lose" in response to your post, OP, but ignore them. The culture of treating Little Timmy like he's a spoiled child monarch is a cancer that needs to be cut out of /tg/.

Nigga you're an actual retard. The players forcibly made it so they couldn't be told.

>make a game and call it the same name as the previous game
How can multi-million dollar companies be so fucking retarded that they think this is a good idea?

>>55197906
>retarded

Known IP's sell better by name alone, even if there is no connection. There's marketing data to back it up.

It doesn't help they didn't have right's to it's actual real name, Bioshock

>>55197510

I think the xenomorphs would be Tyranids and the Predators should probably be Imperial Assassins or Deathwatch Space Marines. Colonial Marines would just be IG.

I'e only ever played in 2 campaigns, first was cut midway by the dm because he hated his first setting, so he made the second setting.

The first one was a really cool high magic setting, with a mages college that acted as a sort of police state aiming to prevent a second magical catastrophy, it didn't go far or was explored much though, he focused too much on character arcs.

The second setting was this really low magic with a broken empire and a theocracy and not only was it boring, something happened to his encounter building, it went from alright to abyssmal.

What're people's thoughts on creating their own thematic builds using class chassis but with features from other classes?
So you could have a hexblade using the EK core with warlock invocations and spells.

Also, forgot to include subject title. Posting from phone and didn't want thread to expire. Whoops. Fuck.

Oh wow, someone else who watched some of this.

It was originally a manga, which unfortunately I can't find.

But Arslan Senki is loosely based on a real Persian legend of the king of Arslan, with the bad guys being a weird 'Christianized' version of what were actually fucking Muslims. So if you wanted a resource your best bet would be to look into pre-islamic Persian history.

Which is really depressing when you get into it

But anyway, aside from the ANIMEisms like Arslan being a fuccboi and the titty priestess, the show does do a good job of addressing some of the material - the Persian Empire was ancient and powerful, but a long line of muddle successionary fuckery, warlords, and the ascendancy of the Muslims was threatening it. Slavery was a social issue, though their slavery wasn't the same kind of Slavery we had despite the shows projection, and everyone was in it for themselves.

"Whilst the protagonist's name appears to may have been taken from the popular Persian epic of Amir Arsalan, other than this anachronism, Arslan and his Parsian enemies and allies primarily share many parallels with Cyrus the Great and other historical figures of 6th century BCE Persia (albeit with several liberties taken), whereas the conflicts with the Lusitanian forces (which bear the Byzantine Orthodox cross) – despite mostly French names and a certain religious zealotry implying a connection to the (Catholic) Crusades (again, with liberties taken)– appear to be based on the Byzantine–Persian Wars, specifically those of the 6th century CE. Furthermore, several names of prominent Parsian characters appear to be taken from known important figures throughout Persian history as well as the historically unsubstantiated legendary parts of the historiographic Persian epic Shahnameh. Additionally, supernatural elements mostly based on ancient Near East mythology increasingly play a role as the series goes on."

hopefully this is a good start. I would recommend looking up Zoroastrianism too, since that would've been the state religion of Persia.

But I like the titty priestess and fuccboi Arslan
