That this godly setting won't support a general sadly. I think slavery and embracing the "other" estetics are important motifs to the setting. It's not our usuall desert setting.

Also, pack rations. If you do not die because of miscalculated amount of water when you fuck up, someone is GMing wrong. Damned waterskins getting damaged in the fight all the time. Also be sure to make every mage afraid of potential lynching, so they may live longer. Morals of the public differ strongly from the aligment system. Athas good guy is at best neutral, slavery is a big deal, it has some effects on spells- but your GM may beg to differ.

DON'T TRUST THE FUCKING ELVES.

Also: Dwarfs have the focus mechanism, that works neat to support your goals (as long as you do not fuck up and become a banshee) but are also COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from normal fantasy bearded axe-bearing foocks.

Metal is increadibly scarce, pay attention to every piece.

Don't fret up is you die A LOT. You start at higher level anyway, so you won't die that much if not from dehydration/ pickng a fight you can't win/ going out in the desert without a group of other traveller-NPCs (most destinations will have caravans that will accept a hired sword cheaply as long as you carry your own water).

And have fun, it's really the most conanesque setting D&D ever had. It will be fun, even if FUN.

At work, do not have time to wirte more.

PS. PSIONICS, MAN.

As long as it's not GURPS I'm game, you got something in mind?

>>55132764
How about GURPS?

>>55132645

I'd do it anon, but It's past midnight and I really need to go to sleep so I can get to work tomorrow. I only stayed up this late to keep an eye on the moulds I was making this evening. If you are still around tomorrow evening I could be persuaded if no one else has by then.

>>55132672
yeah sounds good, sleep tight dude

Only if tabletop simulator was free :^)

Can't go wrong with Healsut Cleric or support Bard DESU.

I was considering those options and haven't tossed out the idea of bard. Just worried about putting too much pressure on a new DM. Thought about skill centric investigator filling out a face or knowledge role. Cause a heal bot or bard with good bonuses could make most combats super easy with a DM unfamiliar with making encounters a bit harder.

>>55132697
To be fair, combats should always be easy if the party is playing smart and not rushing into suicidal situations. If players put time and effort into making a character, they should be allowed to enjoy that character, rather than being thrown into the meat-grinder death parade right away.

Soul Grinders can win this planet if enough of you chaos users put your backs into them and unload the daemon engines!

First for pops

You do not need something in every room.

Put in details that make the place feel lived in (chairs, webs, dripping water)

Have a variety of encounters. Fights, chasms, puzzles

>>55132508
>chasms
Best encounter. There's nothing better than seeing how your party handles something as simple as getting over a large hole.

>>55131852
You myst fighre out what your dungeon is.
1. What was it originally made for? Ancient temple? Wizarding lab? Kobold settlement? Natural set of caves once inhabited by ancient tribe?
2. Why is it abandoned? Is it inhabited by anyone now? How did new settlers change it or what went wrong with the facility as it aged?
3, What traps, puzzles, machinery, monsters, treasures can wait for them there? It's not always gold and jewels, and artefacts.

Obviously haven't looked very far. Try the General.

>>55130957
I only tried PirateBay which seems to be in some sort of transitional state. I also looked around on 1d4chan but that is mostly just paraphrased shit.

What is the General?

bumpin g for help

>>55130786
Never, binding outsiders is cruel and unusual punishment, how would YOU like it if a genie just suddenly plucked you out of your dimension against your will while you were taking a bath, then told you that you had to do what he said or else he wouldn't allow you to return home?

>>55130921
That sounds like rape.

>>55130786
Not sure which was it, but I think it was from one of the APs. There was one already-bound Pit Fiend (I think. Not exactly sure what was it) and our party made a deal with it somehow. He helped us quite well, even gave us a Wish, and we had friendly handshake and bid farewell.

Depends, I've never seen it. Is it more or less incoherent than Xavier Renegade Angel?

I could imagine it being something akin to Paranoia. You play as criminals who are VERY likely to die, given missions to either get on the good side of the Warden and hopefully avoid death, or do things that might help you escape later down the line. The GM would basically be able to do whatever they want, and your goal would need to prove how clever you can be when anything and everything can happen. You wouldn't be able to really capture the speed of the show, but you could capture the high amounts of death and dismemberment.

>>55129843
More coherent because it has a plot.

Less coherent because it's just complete nonsensical single-shot sequences of insanity.

>>55129542
The Khajiit only worship Akatosh, Azura, Mara, Sheogorath, and maybe Stendarr too on top of their own khajiit gods. That's four or five out of thirteen.

The Altmer as a whole worship their own version of the Nine, just like there are different versions of Christianity on Earth.

A couple races worship the Daedra.

Argonians have the Hist.

>>55129542
I imagine its okay in oblivion because the gods make their presence felt all the frickin time, and like you get a little blue swoosh when you pray at their shrine.

>>55129542
That's because there are no gods in real life, whereas in settings with real gods they kind of make themselves known widely.

>Must have facial hair
>Once shot in the chest just before a campaign speech but went ahead and gave the speech with a bullet wound in his chest
>Start speech with "Ladies and gentlemen I have just been shot" then give full speech
>"Last Winter, in Colorado, he had leaped off his horse into a pack of hounds, kicked them aside, and knifed a cougar to death. What a great fight that had been!"

>Chase down robbers and poachers, then drag them back home without sleeping for 40+ hours

Generally, the 1900's, for educated, wealthy men was strength of will over all others. The body may fail but the mind keeps going, I urge you to research Theodore Roosevelt and his many exploits. I think he would slip perfectly in to a CoC game.

An Honorable Duel you clout!

I would say to just use the mastiff rules in 5e, but with a smaller size category and beastmaster ranger augments. Sorry for your loss.

Alignment: Neutral Good Boy

HP: 0

"Any last words?"
It was said to an npc who had bitten off his own tongue to avoid giving the players information.

Free of all typical "good vs. evil" expectations/messages. You have the stage for a real no-holds-barred battle of wits.

Eh, The Blood War is no fun.
