Welp, here we go.

Before we start, I feel I should establish the setting that all of this shit went down in. If any of you want to steal this setting for your own games, feel free. Just know that it does some seriously fucked up things to players.

So everyone's played a game where the GM has banned a character for being too damn powerful or aggressive. The frenzied berserkers, the god wizards, the goddamn physicist who has decided to use his knowledge to utterly wreck your game world. Chances are the character was killed in some incredibly cheap way by the GM and never discussed again. The question arises, however, as to where these characters go.

My answer to this was a demiplane called Ludus, a massive prison dimension that was created by the gods to seal the souls of powergamers away so that they could no longer trash games. If a character has ever horrifically derailed a game, you can bet that they are here somewhere. Henderson, the psionics-destroyer, you name it and they have had their souls thrown here for eternity.

Now, the wards that seal this place off were built by the gods, and are capable of blocking literally ANYTHING that tries to get out. The intent was so no more insane wizards or other casters could ever get out, but it had some unintended side effects. Any souls that wind up here are trapped here for good, and that includes creatures that wind up here as a result of summoning spells and planar binding. At least three demon lords (Pazuzu included) have been conjured to Ludus, and none of them lasted long. On top of that, conflicts on the plane have literally driven many outsider races to extinction. Any outsider that can cast Wish or Miracle has literally been milked dry from their respective planes to fight here, and their souls aren't able to leave Ludus once some conjurer gets lucky.

First for Forgotten Realms

Fuck man, feels old...

Once upon a Time in China 1 & 2 are pretty much a must-see. Rest of the series is forgettable, but those two reinvented the wheel when it comes to wuxia.

>>51368903
There are a couple of Chinese Ghost Story movies. Which one is best?

>>51367700
Like Perfect World.

Legends of the Wulin? Priests Arts primarily, but all Secret Arts that game are about the fivefold wheel and the relationships present within it.

>why have four when you could have 5.png
That's misleading. They aren't elements, they're phases/transformations.

A single object cycles through them over time.
Mostly when it undergoes some change of state (rotting, ageing, tempering, getting cut down, whatever else).

What I'm getting at here is, if something changes... it's not made out of different material of another element.
It's made of the same material it used to be, but that material is now in a different phase.

>>51367664
I found it kind of grim and boring, with silly naming.

And I don't like psionics in my fantasy games.

>>51367714
>I found it kind of grim and boring, with silly naming.
Seconded. Surprised they could make a game feel so lifeless, intended or not.

>>51367664
Bland

>>51367176
They're depicted as such for God knows what reason, but they're actually Germanic. Spoken of quite frequently in Norse mythology, where they come from Alfheimr.

>>51367176
Celtic elfs are vastly different from Nordic elves, which are closer to what most fantasy elves are like.

Norse elves were demigods, tall and powerful, graceful and masters at crafts, magic and battle.

Celtic elfs are tiny folk with a dozen variations of different sorts of fey. They dance on toadstools, wear flowers as clothes and throw stone arrowheads at you to cause curses.

>>51367329
This thread was more directed at their inspiration in DnD, not the literal cultural difference between Norse and Celtic Elves you fuck

Fatal Push is going to get Fatally Pushed...out of the format

Lawful Neutral should say "statist cuck"

>>51363670
Sometimes lawful neutral is a retarded druid that only cares about "muh nature".

i wish this game would fuck off.

I wish someone loved me.

Genestealer outsmart xenomorphs by LIGHTYEARS, and hvae more claws.

Also go back to WWW reddit.

Genestealer - they are more robust.
Xenomorphs - they can utilize terrain better.
Cult - either by warpfuckery and assorted witchcraft or by war of attrition (they can keep breeding).

>>51361985
>Robust
Greytider detected.

Off-topic stuff aside, basically what he said, even though i'm not sure on the last one.
Imagine what would happen if a facehugger were to implant a genestealer.

>>51361534
Let's just get this out of the way.

None of you are operators.

>>51361893
I'm an operator, asshole.

I operate a forklift. Licensed and everything!

>>51361893
Correct. Nor are we wizards, cyborg, elves or any other such thing. I'm glad you have a keen sense for when people are enjoying playing pretend.

>>51361032

I'm pretty sure that is in Cutting Aces

Good one, anon. Next you'll want it to be consistent with previously established fluff.

And if the tarot dress isn't in Cutting Aces, it's going to be in the Tarot Deck book they're also putting out.

Has anyone done anything with the Sixth World Deck of Many Things?

>Good one, anon. Next you'll want it to be consistent with previously established fluff.
I don't think we'll have to worry about that, given how deeply involved Bull's self-insert is involved with the Ork Underground. Or at least, we won't have to worry about for the Ork Underground anyways.

>Gnomes are bigger than humans.
RIP common sense

>>51360758

Am I supposed to interpret this left-to-right?

Is that Sasquatch-looking motherfucker your version of Gnomes?

>>51360790

Yes.

Well played.
