So, after the recent thread I guess we may as well start getting to it and trying to bring this setting to the table. Which will be what this thread is about. For those just tuning in Lenore or Planet 4chan is a old setting that /tg/ came up with over the years.
See well, all of this for information.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=lenore
This thread in particular is focused on rules discussion, deciding what is or is not canon fluff wise and what might be added in as new material that might be included and what needs fixing. The goal of course is to make this a playable ruleset based on Savage Worlds. So, yeah, Lenore stuff folks.

And the PDF with new shit, old shit and some stuff added in.

this is probably a better tag

also, butterroot OP.
Remove butterroot!
>>52281270
yeah I can never really remember which tag works best, I mean hell im pretty sure the actual FIRST thread from a long ass time ago is lost to the dust of the net. And Yes and no, I think Butter-root is sound-ish It makes a good example settlement for a Cult of Personality build. Though I need to type that all up yet...I need a secretary.
Get in here culturefags, got an obscure request for you. I like classical paintings, but I especially like when people take modern fantasy and give it the ol' Delacroix treatment. Post /tg/ shit in the style of romantic painters and other artistic movements of the past
This one is "The Death of St. Peter" by Jacques-Louis David
I don't have many examples unfortunately, but here's a famous painting found in a castle in Kyoto, dated 1660 AD
"The Siege of Constantinople" artist unknown
Storythread: we'll just pretend it's Friday edition. After setting what must be some kind of record, lasting for sixteen full days, the old thread is finally gone - let's hope this one gets more content, faster.
This is a thread for creative writing, so epic campaign greentexts and the like go elsewhere. If you have /tg/ related stories to post, post them here, and hopefully some kind anon will give you feedback (or at least acknowledge that someone did actually read it, which let's face it is what writefags really want).
If you don't have a story ready then I and other anons will be posting pictures throughout the thread for you to test your writing skills on. This is, more or less, a world-building and character-building exercise: two vital skills for playing roleplaying games. If you don't have any pics to post, you could try posting an idea for a setting or a character, and maybe someone will be willing to write a story using it. It's also an exercise in writing though, where writefags can try out their material and gain inspiration, so if you just want to talk about world-building save it for the world-building threads.
Remember that writefags love to have feedback on their work. Writing takes a long time, especially stories that go over several posts, and it can be really depressing when no one even seems to read it (and the writer won't know you read it unless you leave a comment).
And since writing takes a long time remember to keep the thread bumped. Pics are good, feedback is better.
The previous thread can still be found in the archive here:

if anyone still has any comments about the stories there

Why dont you play a more serious game for serious people like you?

Fuck off, jackposter.

I swear, jackposters are worse than doomposters when it just came out.
>>52342016
One got close, but that was 'off screen.' He was a dwarf who blamed himself for being laid up when his unit of shieldbreakers was wiped out, and convinced himself that he was a malingering coward.
So, is this happening for anyone else? Also does anyone else have examples of tg stuff being mistaken for reality?
>>52341623
You understand that Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, right?
>>52341661
>You understand that Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, right?
That's not completely true
It can be edited by anyone with an account but any change is reviewed and reverted quickly if not correct
>>52341672
You are technically correct - the best kind of correct - but it's still true enough for a change like that to be picked up by google before it's reverted.
/tg/ how does one actually teach less intelligent people how to play? I like these people as friends but holy shit, they aren't smart and I'm worried they'll blame me if it isn't fun. I don't wanna piss off my friends.
>>52341146
Aside from "less intelligent" being a relatively useless and inaccurate description, the solution is simple:
Don't use an unnecessarily complicated system. Find something with low player-facing complexity. Run one-shots with pregens before throwing them into character creation. Be a game designer and make a tutorial. Don't give them the rulebook and expect them to read it. Teach them the game and show them why it's fun.
>>52341146
>Create pre-mades that fulfill a certain niche, or failing that, contributes something to the dynamic of the party to help with roleplay (arrogant conman, serious straightman, comical moron, etc.)
>Throw them into easy situations that they can use to get a feel for combat and experiment with their characters.
>Set up a simple premise that can be done in one session but leave the ending open-ended in case the players wish to continue with those characters.
And this is the important one
>Don't use a system that sacrifices conveyance for needless complexity (3.PF) or depth for accessibility (5e).
If a system is more complicated "roll X, compare to Y, result is Z" then you're probably better off just not just not using the system.
>>52341146
Pick something rule-light. And when I say rule-light, I mean rule-light. If a game is more complex than Monopoly, you've picked wrong title, try again.
Also, tailor the game to their interests
How do you differentiate the fine line between magic, psychic power, and reality warping?
>>52340910
Get rid of two of them.
>>52340922
They can be distinct. Or better yet, what do YOU think is the distinction?
>>52340910
I don't? If some old fucko sits in his tower for ages brewing up some dumb power that lets him warp the fabric of reality with his mind, I have no 2nd thoughts about the matter.
At risk of beating an old horse, I think the expression "Its magic, I don't have to explain shit" or "It just happens" should suffice, unless the setting demands a more in-depth analysis. Because to the average joe, someone using psychic powers or abilitys that warp reality, is just using magic.

Please stay positive about SoM. Be relentless in criticizing Ssalarn's idiocy and we could still make martials great again!
Right now I am building apps for Legacy of Fire, WWW, and Shards.
Are there any other non-lewd heavy games that are open for applications, besides celestial tournament?
>>52340859
Hopefully,or not, if you don't like competition,Legacy of Blood and Fire will start picking up steam once PLD is settled and underway.
Does athletics skill count in wrestling or just a strength check
From dnd wiki:
Athletics. Your Strength (Athletics) check covers difficult situations you encounter while climbing, jumping, or swimming. Examples include the following activities:
You attempt to climb a sheer or slippery cliff, avoid hazards while scaling a wall, or cling to a surface while something is trying to knock you off.
You try to jump an unusually long distance or pull off a stunt midjump.
You struggle to swim or stay afloat in treacherous currents, storm-tossed waves, or areas of thick seaweed. Or another creature tries to push or pull you underwater or otherwise interfere with your swimming.

should I narrate my dnd campaign in present or past tense?

Future
so far, I've been doing it present tense. But i think it would have a story-telling vibe if in past-tense
>>52340211
Present.

Should the marks on his face lower or increase his charisma?
>>52339279
It wouldn't innately make you more charismatic. You might get a situational bonus if the character you're trying to woo or intimidate is into/not into scars, but that's about it.
>>52339279
"Tis but a flesh wound" is pretty convincing when that wound is a hole in your head and you're still standing.
