I'd play it. Seems like a good excuse to dive into the bits bin and start putting stuff together.

>Also i'd lay out a framework for those wanting to create their own familiar class, but it would be built in a way to make the class more likely underpowered than overpowered

Problem with this is you would pigeon hold people into less than a handful familiar builds, making there almost be no point in doing it at all

>>51639698

Could just introduce a whole cast of characters to choose from every conceivable archetype of familiar and make more when approached with new ideas.

>taking anything /tg/ says seriously
My nigerian, if you like a game premise enough, run it.
Most of the posters here are a bunch of gay autists that hate fun anyway.

Legends of the Wulin, while built for Wuxia stuff, is a solid system for anything involving high action combat. It's an unusual system, made harder to get into by an awfully edited and laid out core book, but when you get the system running smoothly it's fucking sublime.

Second LotW. Godbound is good too.

What level artifact would you call a moonsilver artifact weapon that can shape shift into any mundane weapon of excellent quality? 2nd edition exalted

The first half of the post perked my interest, but it all spiralled down there into one of the cringiest things I've seen in a while.

.....You know what, i've been on a Marty Robbins jag lately, why not. I'll get in on this.

I propose that they be a white scar successor. Because bikes. Seeing as we can't have them on super horses.

I think one of the chapters should be called The Lone Stars. Or maybe that's too one the nose.

I do not think Sheriff as a replacement for captain works at all, but i'm up for padre.

Fortress world Aleramo

One of the Captains should be named William Bonney.

Bikes and scouts with sniper riffles everywhere.

Every marine is armed with a pair of pistols. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. Except the ones who have sniper riffles of course.

They recruit only the fastest gunmen, and boys who reckon they have a fast hand try to build up enough of a reputation that they get selected to become neophytes.

One of the final rights of passage is to ride a bike that's been badly sabotaged across rough terrain. You must not fall off. You must make good time.

>implying Slash Gordon is a filthy heretic

I'mma post a random setting writeup piece I wrote, once. It might sort of apply.

Peace.
That's the main export of Shaved Oak, a small village at the edge of civilisation - Peace and Dirt.

With the entire population consisting of peaceful human dirt-farmers, selling their harvests to travelling merchants each summer, and telling dull tales over small fires in winter...
not once in living memory has anyone died from unnatural causes.

It's a peaceful town.
It's also home.
You might be a bit different, from the rest. Perhaps different from your parents... a cybernetic body, a pair of fangs, or a skin-tone best described as 'Green',
you've always stood out from the rest. Still, Shaved Oakers don't discriminate.

You had a good upbringing... until now.

Summer. Almost midsummer.

Yesterday, the Blood Moon rose. That's when the moon rises, as usual, except it's red. Like blood.
That's why we call it the Blood Moon.

This morning, a two-headed calf was born, and the damn thing wouldn't stop arguing with itself.

The birds are strangely quiet.
One of the shepherds says he saw a wolf, and wouldn't shut up about it.
Damn fancy folk, not content farming dirt like proper people.

The old hag down by the pond says it's a sign from the dread god-who-is-totally-a-god.
But we don't listen to her, she's off her rocker.

Now, in this land of adventure and adversity, will you take up the challenge, and help bring in the dirt harvest before those merchants show up?

Funny you should ask, there's literally a thread about this right now.
>>51598831

Cleric: CG city-elf female cleric of !notCorellon. 2nd 'face' for the party (higher cha than my rogue, skills not maxed). Some of her income goes into solidifying her hold on the city elves' kingdom.
I'm pretty sure she's going for a power grab in the next future(elective monarchy). Head of the clergy for the war god, started as a cleric that was given the task of recovering a sacred relic(advancement test). Wrecker of undead.
Can surprisingly hold a grudge against a fictional character.
Me: N city-elf rogue. Face for the group and skill-monkey with TWF. I got leadership at lv6 to go on and make my own spy organization (wizard cohort and followers). Got a city(mainly city-elves in a high elf kingdom)
after DM's girlfriend got bored of the added work. Got it into pretty good levels, we're netting the highest GDP for the high-elf kingdom thanks to not being assholes or tree-hugging hippies and trading through river AND sea.
Always spending resources/loot to expand connections and political power. I started as a diplomat for the city elf kingdom, went on to make a spy network and my own nar-shaddaa

The war started because during the last 3 months the GM and his GF basically started rising taxes on my city (GM as the high-elf council and his GF as herself) at a rate I'm not really comfortable with. Resources and gold are going
into infrastructures(we're growing too quickly) and the wizard academy (we need to import/export something that is not merch or crime). Sensing treachery was afoot I asked the GM what's up and he said to 'deal with it'.
We started with the saber rattling and the cash stopped flowing from us to them.
I got word that 'the city elves are looking with interest at our predicament'. I also got word that they're preparing an expeditionary force commanded by the blender.

I'm just gonna be that guy and say the phrase you are looking for is "intra-party conflict".

Inter-party would be two or more parties fighting one another. Intra-party means conflict within the party.

We then prepare to send a diplomatic delegation to stall them (my intent) and prevent war/peace talks (city council's). To appease the peaceful party I leave everything up to them aside from the fact that they have to stall them for time.
When we get our delegation back in pieces it seems like there is only one path forward.
It also seems like somebody spread the rumor that our delegation was going to kill key figures in their camp (one of their councilman's sons and captain of the guard).

Before I drone on and on, is there somebody with a similar experience? Open battles in D&D and stuff who can give me some advice? I'm actually worried because the blender spends everything on herself (and got a mysterious boost
lately). I can't go WWI dirty bombs on them because I could not dodge responsibility and I'm not willing to dump it on my henchman (too useful)
Army-wise they have the advantage, but I think we can count on morale (elf-on-elf action is somewhat a morale malus if you're attacking) and on dwarven war machine supply (good relations with them).
Unfortunately no wizards or apprentices from the academy outside of payroll, since they are mostly human nobles and if they die daddy might be a little pissy about that.

Golems are kid of magical by definition, sicne they're animated constructs.
For "natural" stone creatures, it wouldn't work if they're actually made from stone. Maybe they just ahve a stone-like skin, or the skin is covered in minerals, but they still have soft tissue under the skin.

That seems to be how Ark did it. I'm surprised I haven't been able to find a lot of good discussions on various threads/forums around the internet about it.

Well for 1 I dont think you could do golems without magic since they were originally made using jew sorcery, but I would have to say its something like a tree-man-rock hybrid.
