Other Player is freaking out. His battleline is getting torn up by modernized WW1 boats. He pushes his really damaged Tirpitz to the limit, and starts pulling away from my pursuing QEs. The other one fails its damage control roll, again, and still tries to limp forward. My QEs aren't impressed, and blow the ever living shit out of it.

Then the Revenge, down to 8 hitpoints, scores the winning shot. Penetrates a magazine. Tirpitz is vaporized in a huge explosion, pieces of Wehraboo everywhere falling from the sky like a rain of charred schnitzel.

Royal Navy Triumphant!

Next campaign turn, Japanese player attacks unprotected port of German player. Fight to a draw, further weakening them.

All in all a really fucking good week for my botes. I am worried about the other German player, he has more supply ports then I do, and my last intel report said he just got a carrier, so i might need to start beefing up my anti-air firepower. I've made overtures to one of the three American players as well, proposing a non-agression pact since we have territories close to each other.

I wish the shitheads at my FLGS were half as cool as yours OP. All they play here is fucking 40k meta lists.

What I wouldn't give to play ANYTHING ELSE, let alone a god-damn living naval campaign.

Gekokujo, Brytenwalda, A Clash of Kings, and probably some more i don't remember.

Churches/temples, forts, inns, wizard's towers.

There was a temple in Scandinavia that acted as the powerbase of an entire region for about a thousand years with numerous tribes and families vying over control. Rebuilt several times over and serving diffrent gods at diffrent times, but always in the same place and always with the same importance to the region.

What I'm saying is that temples are underrated for non-theological things.

>>51314494

Taverns. Temples. Blacksmiths. Apothecaries. Magical item shops. Guilds. Town Guard barracks. Prisons. Brothels. Wherever the town's ruler and administration are found.

Acronyms can be neat, but the problem is that they can sometimes lead to unintuitive attribute names if you try and force it. If one fits somewhat naturally, it's fine, but don't feel compelled by it.

I think that's essentially my own feelings on it, it's just that the siren call of word play keeps tempting me whenever I try to move on, probably because it's such a pun and wordplay filled setting that it feels odd to have something straight-faced even if it's out of necessity.

What would you make?

>>51312767
Nothing, that just sounds like power wank. Nothing good can come out of it.

Bumping for OP because I too am interested. Ivalice as a setting is some of the best shit in Final Fantasy. I'd love to be able to play a game ala Vagrant Story with a small group.

If one can't be found, I might would be willing to try coming up with one, though I make no promises on quality.

>>51312528
Just play 4e DnD.

That sounds pretty nasty to me. I mean, that's a jelly, not a sphere of annihilation. There's going to be some screaming and struggling to get out as the jelly melts the living flesh off them.
It's actually kinda fucked up, I can see why your GM might not want that in his campaign. Especially if he thinks it's your fetish or something.

Your GM sounds like a douche.

>>51312607
Benefits of playing neutral, I suppose lol. I'm actually keeping the "tame" jelly to milk it's corrosive properties for potions...as well as getting rid of unwanted objects.

>>51312771
He's a really cool guy, just kind of old school. I wanna be able to present penalties or something instead of just flat calling him out. I mean, sure you'd be flailing in a net, but you're in a net and my dude is three times your size and has four arms...and specializes in grappling.

I've stated moving towards crafting paralyzing poisons so I can deal Dex damage. Much easier to toss an immobile enemy.

>>51311576
Just fucking play, if it's shit then quit.

>>51311861
This.

Unless you got something important to do that day, just do it.

Now for the game at hand...

Not having a defender isn't that much of a problem... although, that group sounds really frail, unless one of the warlocks is CON based. Bard may also not be the best if neither warlock is melee, makes staggering note less good.

>>51311576
With 2 controllers, you may not even need a defender.

>How does one keep humanity interesting in a sci-fi universe filled with all the various weirdness that inevitably comes from your average sci-fi universe?
Because most of the time, appearance is just aesthetics. Give humans:
1. Interesting ideals and ideas.
2. Interesting history.
3. Interesting objects, designs, ships and homes.
Though these three things go for all races. It's usually more interesting to find out about the strange practices, weird homes, byzantine politics and troubled history of a species than to find how many eyes they have. Appearance is important, but it isn't everything.

We will eat literally anything. Even shit that would normally kill us (rotting food, self-destructive chemicals like alcohol, plants that give off chemicals that make animals go "aw fuck no!) we will fucking put it in our mouth.

Humans are actually very efficient animals. We can run for MILES and not get tired. We are endurance predators. We cnajust keep going and going and going for way longer than many animals.

Part of above, we are great at cooling down. Look at dogs, cats, pigs, whatever. It's hard for them to augment their own body temperature naturally. We survive colder weather and hotter. Most animals do one or the other, not both. We are adaptable in a way many species arent.

I can agree with >>51311482 and I like to put humans into two categories; peaceful or militaristic

Peaceful is your Star Trek style society where exploration, science, and negotiation is the highlight of humanity. Where humans act as the galactic ambassadors to the races found thought space.

Militaristic is your 40k or Starship Troopers style society where expansion, science, and domination is the highlight of humanity. Where humans don't have to be opposed to aliens, but they seek total domination of the galaxy and all those who inhabit it. They make strong allies, but eventually they'll want to take over your planet and make you live under their rule.

Basically technology, weapons, and style are what make humans stand out.

>>51305924
So Tarkin was comically inept, right?

>>51306011
Not sure why you would think that. Then again I have not read the new book yet.

You can't deny his cheekbones though.

>>51305806
Oh, where do I start?
Here's my problem: I'm the middle child of a grognard, engaged to the daughter of a grognard (rip man. You get to miss the shit shows). "Appropriate equipment" does not exist: I roll, you loot and if that means you pull a +5 adamantium dagger from the guts of a rat, then you get it. Wealth by level is a laughable concept: you're as rich as the story and your IC smarts says. If that means you have no money at 20th level, or you get a few thousand extra because your character actually earned it, then so be it. "The Devs said X" is cause for me to hit you with the rulebook. Your character will die: give me a reason that isn't stats to keep them alive.
The last one is important.
Every character has bonuses and penalties built in, and every single set up tells a story. In systems that don't give me advantage/disadvantage mechanics, I play a +0/-0 game with it. In systems that do, I ignore the limits on both, because there will be a story. and it will be shown on the sheet in the only way that roll players respect: hard numbers.
For an Eclipse Phase group that never happened, I created Fumiko, Titanian cop and async. Also, oppai loli fetish fuel with an edgy past that involved being raised from birth to be a wife to a pedophile. Her primary plotlines were dealing with her ex husband trying to get her back, coming to terms with having a truly alien yet understandable alien in her head, amd making sure she made it to her therapy appointments on time while trying to bypass the lock on her uterous so she could get pregnant again.
Her secondary plotline was firewall.
Kitsuki Sakura, created less than a week ago for an L5R game that crashes before the first session. Special little snowflake that proved her willingness to protect others at a young age. Also, married to her sworn enemy while raising the kid her now dead first lover knocked her up with. Then there's the man that killed said lover, additional family... I need another post.

>>51306257
Where was I? Ah, Sakura. Additional family drama, and she's getting really ready to kill her husband. After she burns a few favors to send her kid to the Bayushi courtier school.
For VtM, a malk who specializes in being a Gothic lolita pro Dom. Also, was embraced by the sabbt before she sold them out and was claimed as an abandoned childe by the man that was going to be prince of Tacoma. She was going to be fun, but the game never happened because the ex of one player gave her PTSD about the game (imagine playing your character with a knife held to your throat. You have to describe how your character is being raped by theirs. Now do this multiple times)
But my favorite to date, who proves that a Monty haul campaign can still work in the modern era of "Mandatory Magic Items" and "do not give the players more wealth than this or bonus higher than this": Sarah. Pathfinder rogue in a game that turned Mythic the second session. One of the few characters I ever got to play. Daughter of two innkeepers, secretary to a mob boss, and painter. And that's before she turned 18. Thanks to Ultimate Campaigns investment rules, time travel that I didn't know would happen, and the DM being a CPA, she had a net worth of 14 billion and change GP before I got kicked out of my parents house. There were entire small nations who depended on loans drawn against her bank account. So she was only able to withdraw a few million before the bank needed to shift assets (like entire palaces) around.
But that's not important, because it didn't matter what shopping list of magical items I drew up, I still had to find sellers. So don't worry bout WBL, only people who care more about their numbers than your game will get ticked.
Sarah adventured to find new inspiration for her painting. It started innocently enough: discovering an art forger, breaking and entering with other artists, rendering a very artistic revenge, and making a lot of money.

The one character I still want to play the shit out of is Naomi Ramsey, an exercise in how even the most overdramatically described splat combination with Magical Eastern Mysticism and Melissa Uran "art" (South-Facing Yin-Aspected Devil-Tiger) can be played as a mental teenager with superpowers.
Naomi was a perpetual sore loser who wanted friends, but wanted them on her terms - when someone didn't act like she wanted, she pushed them away, and this resulted in an isolated, bitter and selfish person who really thought at some level that other people thought they were too good for her.
She hooked onto the whole "geek girl" boom for people who'd love her and support her no strings attached, but it failed because she was obviously being half-assed about it, and as such she went on a trip to Japan like all of her weeaboo friends had done in the hopes of finding some kind of new purpose or hobby.
She embarrassed herself in her first few classes and after that stopped turning up, locking herself in her gaijin house room for two months before she got to know she'd been kicked out of the study and had gotten her visa suspended, wasting thousands of her family's dollars on nothing when her parents already resented her for being 24 and jobless, and she decided to get piss-fucking drunk and see where it ended.
It ended in the Yellow Springs, where Yu Huang was supposed to hand her soul over to the Stygian Deathlords - but Madness and Happenstance couldn't agree on whether it'd been suicide or an accident, and Yu Huang pocketed her soul while they were bickering.
Naomi had too many people on her high school hit list (an actual, physical notebook) to die that easily, though, and managed through pure entitlement and fury to claw her way out of the Hell of being Skinned Alive (where she'd ended up because she lived off of taking affection and giving only bullshit back).
