Let's see some writing first, then we might be impressed.

Though honestly, Kui Ryoko could create a Warhammer 40k manga and it'd still probably be one of the most comfy things imaginable.

It's not modern fantasy if everyone knows about magic and other races.
Don't make me angry.

I kneel before my mighty and beloved Primarch.

I wait for him to tell me my new role in the Chapter - probably second-in command, but even if he busts me down to being a regular Battle Brother in the 7th reserve Company (you know, the one with the shitty purple trim on its pauldrons), I'd still serve faithfully.

I have the Chief Librarian explain the state of the Imperium. I defend my own record in maintaining Ultramar as a bastion of sanity in this crazy ol Galaxy.

Aw man, now I got a mental image of a mermaid with a big long chain of poop hanging out of her butt, like my fish sometimes do.

I don't wanna play this game anymore, anon!

The answer is: My dick

For context, I believe the answer is a spell

How original

>>51548358
that pic pretty much has you covered I think, just build that character or one like it and you are all set

>>51548358
Give yourself a treshold.
Be loud-mouthed, violent and unpleasant as much as you want, but give yourself a rule (something like "won't kill without provocation) and don't go out of your way to put people in misery.

Abrasive, self-absorbed, and even outright dysfunctional characters are commonplace in just about any RPG.

There are a billion factors which can work for and against a character like this in regards to the group.

My best advice is use this MO: "I look out for number one, but this is not a hard rule".

You mean like actual gods in heaven building worlds, or like demigods on earth wielding divine might to smite their foes?

>>51548290
Exalted or Nobilis

>>51548347
Like Norse, Greek, Hindu, or Egyptian. Watching over your domains, being worshipped, being jerks to eachother and the physical world, fighting primordial beasts from other realms.

4 words.

White dudes in China.

>>51547120
This is one of my many 'I will eventually flesh this out into something I could run' ideas, so following is very rough and unusable as-is. White dudes in china pretty much sums it up though.

"early days of the Royal Geographic Society as a campaign setting. Individual, end-closed campaigns in mysterious Foreign Climes, book ended by expedition prep and selling the Society on the value of your research, or information for the basis of trade/crime/? to anyone else. Need system with gunpowder/ship costs, probably lotfp. Highly limit what players can use in Other Lands.
This would be my Romantic Fantasy setting. (see against the Wicked City- focus on 'talk to everyone'/no irredemable evil except for literal demons) Visit established settings like ATWC, DCO (thematically kinda wrong)
Prestige/gold system from Perdition (note here for /tg/- perdition uses prestige instead of XP, and requires gold spent on levelup as a seperate component. Another good analogue would be Blades in the Dark, with Rep and Coin for crew levelups vs use in world). Drip feed prestige while on a Research Expedition, enough for maintenance/leveling. Allow use locally, to request free provisions or guides. Research generates big piles of piles of prestige when you take it back home- better/more cohesive/more fashionable research will render even more prestige. Prestige spendable at home to finance a new expedition; money is loaned for a purpose, and not to be spent otherwise (police are competent). High value jewels, or some currency types (age, pure metal) are worth a lot of Prestige OR money back home- tempt to collect and not spend."

I realise I focused a lot on a lot of the 'meta-campaign'. You could just take Yoon-suin and use that straight away, with more firearms owned by the PCs, and different assumptions about who the PCs are and what they represent.

Destroy it, the building it was in, and the orphan holding it.
Just to be sure.

Get the child a new teddy bear, let the child get attached to the new one, then destroy the old one. It's not a perfect solution, but it's the best I got.

Though I guess it depends how old the kid is.

>>51546285
>>51546604
There's no kid mentioned. Maybe the teddy was a memento, or he thought it would never get noticed as is.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that they're using 4e to teach newbies. Host knows how to teach that the best.

>>51545505
>>51545669
>4e
Oh my poor poor child, I'm so sorry.

Actually, 4e is decent by itself, but it's horrible for newbies.

Whatever happens, remember that if you're not having fun, either the system, the GM, the party or yourself are to blame. In any of these cases, it can be fixed by trying a different game. D&D is not the only and is certainly not the best TRPG. If you don't like it, nothing wrong with it.

Please go away.

what in the fuck are you talking about? those skills have nothing to do with each other

The flat world finishes spiraling towards the sun, and the ever-burning wildfires in the South spread across the world, leaving the civilizations of men and monsters alike as ash and dust.

In the year 1999, deep in the Miskatonic Mountain range, a special response team like SWAT responded to the kidnapping of the mayor's daughter by a cult. After subduing the cult and killing its twisted monstrosity of a leader, the squad commander finished the ritual, much to his squad's horror, and sacrificed the girl. Beasts, twisted and nearly unkillable, descended from the mountain and spread like a cancer across the Earth. Now the remnants of mankind are holed up in a single grand city surrounded by a blighted hellscape. This is the world of Hellscape 202X.

I'm afraid it's gonna make no sense unless you're already familiar with the setting at least on a basic level. The world in question is really pretty much a gigantic destroyer spaceship that a cosmic god built to kill all of his brothers and reign supreme over the universe. However, when they besieged his ship, he shut himself in the inner sanctum in the centre of the planet and went into hibernation. He never planned in advance for life to spring on his ship, but it kind of did without his involvement, and there's one race in particular that found out about him and began to worship him. They had ups and downs, but, long story short, eventually they found their way to the ship's control panel and tried to wake their god up. What they did instead was freeze the entire world and all life on it.

But it's okay because the leader of the dark elves used the only charge of his time machine that he's been building for thousands of years to create an alternative timeline where none of this happened instead of a timeline where there elves are the only race in the world as he had originally intended. Of course, in the new timeline nobody knows what he did and everybody keeps hating him.

Desperation bump.

I'll help think of some, OP. In the meantime, while I am brainstorming with what little there is to go on, why don't you post some more details or maps or something?

An enigmatic and wealthy banker, rumor has it, absconded with all his bank’s funds. Not only that, but preliminary investigations of his house by the national police have only turned up with gargantuan tread marks in the mud and an invoice for an obscene amount of machinery. Scribbled on the invoice, in hasty handwriting, is the following sentence:
“You can have the gold back when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.”
The Natpol have set a bounty on this banker’s head. Though whispers abound that the treasures he stole are worth far more than even the amount the Natpol are willing to pay…
In other, possibly related, news: A massive mobile fortress has been terrorizing the [Middle of Nowhere] Township area in the country of [Insert Country name here]. Coincidence? I think not!
