Is mortal life essentially Chaotic or Lawful? What're the most interesting arguments for either side?

Chaotic Neutral, or Chaotic Stupid.
Life would be boring and desolate without people, and people make life ridiculously complex and silly.

Life in general is true neutrla

Governments try to run Lawful Neutral (but try to appear to be Lawful Good).
Individuals generally run True Neutral (but their ideal is Neutral Good)
Anyone played Wilderlands of High Fantasy here? City-State of the Invincible Overlord, or any of the other Judge's Guild stuff from the 70s and 80s (which had a small comeback under Necromancer Games)?

Has anyone considered running Uber as an RPG campaign? I'll have to admit: the setting, and the concept, is great - though the writer's SJW mindset keeps getting in the way, and it's being resolved in the most boring way possible.
I can see it being run with the PCs as a small team of Cruiser / Destroyer-class tankmen 'behind enemy lines', with the express mission of wreaking as much havoc as possible.
Admittedly, it's not as flexible as, say, Godlike and the PCs are a lot less varied...But I think there's a good idea in it somewhere.

Presumably back in his home Shadowdale; mostly everything's reset to a sort of 2.5e setting in Faerun with some names and small details changed. Volo found him there, so clearly he's still there sometimes.
And you shouldn't expect a warm welcome visiting him uninvited.
The sign outside his house just says;
>"Elminster of Shadowdale. Solicitors next of kin will be notified."
He's basically the wizard equivalent of a cranky old asshole with a shotgun.

>>52584993
Just wherever it would be the most fun for him to be. Middle of a war torn country? Hunting some knowledge best kept secret so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands? Amusing himself by messing about with experiments in the middle of nowhere? The list goes on.

I find Shinto shrines fascinating. I would like help in implementing something inspired by them into D&D/Pathfinder.
Here is how they "work in real life." Before the shrine is built, priests consecrate a natural feature (e.g. a mountain, a tree, a waterfall, a boulder) or a manmade object (e.g. a mirror, a sword, a figurine jewel) as a vessel for a kami. After many rituals to attract and appease a kami (it is important to ward evil spirits away from the vessel!), a kami arrives and chooses to live within the vessel.
The priests then construct a shrine around a stationary vessel, or take a portable vessel to a preconstructed shrine. The priests are important because only they can communicate with the kami; some priests can let the kami possess and speak directly through them. The priests keep the kami happy by making its new home as comfortable as possible, acquiring offerings (from the public) for the kami, acceding to the kami's demands, and defending its home from evil spirits who might want to take over. In exchange, the kami offers guidance to the priests (and the public), empowers the priests' divinatory rituals, and blesses the area around the shrine.
Sometimes, the priests clone a kami to spread it elsewhere. The priests consecrate a second vessel for the kami, bring the new vessel to the original vessel, and enact a "cloning ritual" to copy and paste the kami. Then they build a new shrine for the second vessel. This is a real practice! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanj%C5%8D
I think it would be interesting to bring this to D&D/Pathfinder in a way that coexists with traditional fantasy gods. There are many non-evil outsiders of the Outer Planes, elementals and genies of the Inner Planes, fey, and miscellaneous spirits that mortals would love to have around, helping the land and sharing guidance.
Perhaps mortals build lavish shrine-manors full of occult trinkets, hand-picked and consecrated to precisely appeal to a certain type of immortal. (Continued.)

After the shrine-manor is built, occult ritualists gather together to conduct a planar ritual. The ritual conjures the desired type of immortal, but the magic is less forceful than more traditional conjurations; the immortal can return to whence it came with but a thought.
The ritualists plead the immortal to stay and live in such a comfortable home. The occultists will serve the immortal as household servants(miko-maids, one could say), acquire offerings (from the public) for the immortal, accede to the immortal's demands, and defend its home. In exchange, the immortal will offer guidance to the mortals and use all its magic to help the area around the shrine-manor. Furthermore, the occult ritualists will use a follow-up ritual to return the immortal to its home plane, letting the immortal sort out any affairs, before another ritual pulls the immortal back into the shrine-manor.
It usually takes a few attempts, but sooner or later, one immortal will accept the offer. Then the town or city will have its very own [celestial/elemental/genie/fey/spirit] to support the land and the people, and the immortal will enjoy a cushy life as a local god!
There are some drawbacks. The planar energies whirling around the shrine-manor sometimes thin the walls between worlds, allowing other immortals to step through. If another benevolent celestial or Seelie fey comes to visit, that is no problem... but a fiend or an Unseelie fey stepping through is a much bigger problem. This is why the occult ritualists must ward the area from malicious spirits.
That aside, after living in the shrine-manor for a while, the immortal is able to clone itself with the help of further occult rituals. This is similar to a simulacrum. The occult ritualists usually escort the simulacrum to a new shrine-manor elsewhere, where it can help more people.
What does /tg/ think of this? How could the idea be improved or polished? It only really fits in high magic, high fantasy, granted.

This fits anywhere with occult stuff, but sounds pretty rp heavy.

What if Maui was a Primarch? Not necessarily one of the lost primarch, but one of the main ones? I imagine he would still be the biggest and widest one, with his armor notoriously bulky, and extremely strong. Would he stay loyal or traitor? What would his legion and subsequent successor chapters be like?

I created a table top game based on heroes and dungeon crawling with only a single deck of cards with no dice or cardboard tokens.
I playtested it a guy who's part of a game design group and he made some complaints that I think were reaching, I think he actually liked it and was just trying to find problems.
What should I do to move forward?

5e isn't big on feats. They're technically optional, even. Also an easy way to do that would be to just be a Wizard and at level 2 choose Evocation School.
There's other ways, but concepts can be that fucking simple to pull off in 5e.

No. Thankfully. I usually only need the player's handbook, and an unearthed arcana if I want to use anything from one.
