What's your setting like, /5eg/? Low magic, high magic? Human only? Noblebright? Grimdark?

High magic, navigating some politics with the PCs being big damn heros at the end.

how do you even do low magic? Do you stop giving wizards spells beyond 3rd level?

what class would you play if you wanted to be a vampire hunter?
>>
>>55122053
Probably a ranger, honorable mentions to inquisitor and slayer
>>
>>55122053
Inquisitor because there's an archetype for that
Vigilante because they'd never see it coming (Then again, that applies to the inquisitor as well on occasion.....)
Paladin. Especially of Something like Sarenrae, who's got an archetype devoted to it.
Cleric. Same reasoning.
Marksman and Gunslinger. Ranged Specialists and that sort.
though what i'd really go for is Investigator to get that "Abraham van Helsing" Feel.

Welcome to being a writer. Most popular characters were just written as jokes or placeholders.
>>
Players are strange, fickle, and capricious creatures. I've given up on trying to understand what makes them tick, and I only put the barest amount of effort into NPCs anymore.
>>
Ayup.
Most PCs tend to be selfish.
They're the center of the Universe, and why the hell would they care deeply about anything else?
Especially if it takes more than a minute, or doesn't give them a reward.
Most players just enjoy the experience. Build the story around the PCs, not the NPCs.
The NPCs exist as support and to lighten the mood, so silly quirks on NPCs are the best.
Getting a group that cares about your world, NPCs, or story is practically impossible.
Remember, this is their game, not yours.

So I'm planning to run my first game in the near future and could use some advice from you guys. Plan so far consists of:
>players are a rag-tag group of mech pilots and their support units (mostly maintenence vehicles and some light attack vehicles)
>a technologically advanced enemy has overrun the planet, placing the group's starting position far behind the enemy battle line
>luckily for the group, the enemy force's haste has left them strung out far and wide over the continent, forcing their pilots to operate in small, isolated groups or even alone in the case of larger mechs which are quickly outpaced by friendly support
>the campaign objective is the space elevator on the other end of the continent; they need to make it to the elevator before the enemy can break the friendly forces holding the evacuation point or else they're trapped on the conquered planet
>player mechs are analogous to HAWKEN-style small/medium frames; fast, lightly armored, zip around with their rocket/jet engines while taking snapshots with small cannons and missile/rocket launchers. Strong emphasis on minimizing exposure time and maximizing their maneuverability
>enemy mechs are going to be big stonkin' things. Plan for them to be roughly on the scale of Battletech, with even their lighter machines dwarfing the players.
>players will be able to pick and choose a bit on what they'll be encountering; satellite and other long range transmissions are spotty but they'll have intermittent contact with their commanding officer who will pass along intel on enemies in the area, locations to find supplies like ammunition or food, or nearby friendly units they can meet up with/rescue to increase their chances of not dying horribly

The issue right now is I don't have a system. I'm digging through the Chromestrike system right now (as in it's open and I'm reading through it as I type this) but what I see so far doesn't really seem to match what I'm looking for. I've got the Mekton Zeta Plus PDF lined up next once I'm done digging through Chromestrike, but I wanted to ask if anyone had a system they'd like to recommend before I got stuck into a 300 page book about flashy robits.
Also general advice thread for anyone who wants it I guess. I'm certainly open for ideas and advice myself.
>>
>>55118303
Battletech?
>>
>>55118408
The thought occurred to me but isn't Battletech a wargame? Would I be able to reasonably adapt it for a campaign where everyone is playing something analogous to a 10 ton mech?

Is that a serious question? No! Who was the dm, a robot simulation?
>>
>>55117279
Probably referring to characters in movies/tv running in the direction opposite of whatever is falling on top of them (like in Prometheus for example) rather than running to the side
>>
>>55117279
It was not.
You clearly should have made an INT saving throw to see if you could calculate whether you should dodge or not.

40k is a game in which dudes with skulls on their armor stab other dudes with spikes on their armor while power metal plays in the distance.
All else is secondary.

Tell me, fellow Mazdamundi players, do you intend to go North and solve the Delf problem, or South and solve the rat problem first?
My thoughts are South will be tropical and more suitable for Lizard settlements, but by the time you've consolidated Lustria Malekith may have confederated all of Naggaroth

Goblin Guide has haste and doesn't fetch a land into play. It just has the potential to put one in hand.
Of the two Guide seems like the generally better option as it's got a lot less downside.
