How would you run a game based on Moby-Dick; or, The Whale?

Gleefully?

Have an NPC promise to pay the PCs if they chase something extremely elusive with him/her. Once they find it the NPC dies because of thing.

I can't wait to see them get their unprepared asses handed to them by good ol' Nicky B.
Also, I'm digging all the wurm art in this chapter. I'm glad to see greens coolest signature creature type make a return.

How do the gods/deities in your universe interact with the people? Do they make godly appearances or act from behind the scenes?

Which WotC employee are you?
Need an image of a mage plundering relics (books, preferably) from an old library. Also, generic art for locations in a D&D (or other fantasy tabletop) game.
Bumping with a cool location, very much not what I'm looking for but maybe what someone else might need.
(i hope this is the right subforum)
Im making a DND campaign. Its gonna be somewhat short (possibly finishable on a 2-3 day cabin-trip), but ive never really made anything in DND before. Ive only played one campaign, and so im wondering if you guys had some suggestions?
I have some rough ideas about the world and some concepts for cities, but im mostly curious about specific ideas for dungeons and puzzles, or just any other suggestions in general. Some neat ideas you guys have seen, that I could include in some way? Pretty much just any suggestion in general
Thanks!
Do you know what your players are looking for/expecting?

This is the key question. Nothing matters as much as this.

We're playing 13th Age, numbnuts. The GM can't solidify lore till every character settles on their relationships with the Icons and declares their One Unique Thing.
>>52439625
You run the game then chucklefuck.

So for anime jumps where characters are foreign do you imagine they have their dub voices?
What are your thoughts on sentient equipment?
Good idea? Bad idea? Does taking certain steps change whether it's a good or bad idea?
>>52439410
I'm just trying to do a Jump man. The Jump itself is... thick in it's terminology and I've only been able to get some lore stuff because >>52431177 directed me to a decent lore respiratory which uses plainspeak. The whole Mr. Eaten thing is interesting but playing the browser game for dozens of hours, just in the grinding parts from what I've been led to believe from my searches, doesn't sound like a good time. However the lore is interesting and neat so I want to know more.
I'll shut up about this now, since I'm apparently ticking folks off.
are there any rpgs that get encumbrance & lifting right?

Can this thread be about /fit/ : The RPG now?
Are there any decent alternatives to challenge ratings?
What's your gripe with CR?
>>52439068
Monster level.
How do you mean, OP?
And there's always knuckling down and doing some math to work out the general capabilities of your party and comparing them to monsters to figure out what's suitable. Average attack rolls vs defences, average damage vs HP, the ability to inflict and resist various forms of debilitating effect.
Initially crunching the numbers can be a pain, and you need to update it every level/significant gain in power, but if you're not going to be using or trusting whatever abstract value a system gives you for the threat a monster presents, it's the only way to go about it.
What if an army of Vampire Women developed in The Muslim World because they're protected from The Sun by those Full Face Burkas?

Oh damn.
I think we're onto something.
OK /tg/. I've got a question for you, and it's a doozy: what are some GOOD RPGs? I mean genuinely good, none of that "it's popular, therefore it's good" shit.
>>52438073
What, as in, objectively?
Because objective quality doesn't really exist.
