In the time-traveler or world hopping kind of stories, it's a common trope to see the main character try and change the world with advanced technology. But what about natives of some setting taking a comparatively smaller but more believable step forward by revolutionizing some aspect of war or ruling or trade with a little tweak or change in outlook?
Like when the Macedonians fielded super long pikes in battle, or the Byzantines figuring out Greek Fire in time to save their city. What sort of realistic innovations could your adventurer without any knowledge of our history figure out in a medieval-fantasy setting that's not just a steam engine centuries ahead of its time?

Romans more or less understood this. Also used surgical staples. Also understood hygeine.
There's a reason they fucking steamrolled the world. They had really good R&D

>not just a steam engine centuries ahead of its time?
The steam engine is fucking ancient.
And the first "practical" steam engine, the Newcomen engine, is extremely simple.
Watt engines are a bit more complicated, but barely.
Anyways, the answer isa book.
Something along the lines of Galileo Galilei's, "Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences"
There's a reason Galileo is called "the Father of Science"
>They had really good R&D
They had piss awful R&D, all they had were fabulous mathematicians.
But the took interest in locals and were great at finding uses for things, so like 98% of the novelties and tech they stole while expanding got put to good use.

Working on my homebrew cyberpunk universe, and I'm looking for art of emotionally dead woman/girl, shut in videogame addict type.
The catch is she's the city's best explosives expert. And when the PC's have to come to her, they'll have to do all sorts of weird errands for her such as kidnap her highschool crush, steal plushy dolls for her to pack homemade thermonuclear minibombs into, yada yada. Imagine the exact opposite of Tiny Tina from Borderlands, except just as mad.
Basically trying to give an insight into what the fuck growing up in a corporate controlled media spewing cyberpunk city.
So, let's see what you've got.

Could be cool but they are relying a bit heavily on <Special Words for Something> "English Translation".
If it's an actual language, that could be cool but if it's not it smacks a bit of rookie storywriting.

How would a hunterxhunter game work?
Are there any games similar to it?
Any of the WoD Mage games come to mind, but nen works much more personally at more advanced levels.

It's basically optimized for thig. Not HunterXHunter, but battle anime in general, where characters have quite individualistic powers.

Vengeance Paladin multiclassed into Fighter for Action Surge. You take Great Weapon Fighting and the Two Handed fighting style hoping your GM uses the raw reading of the style. Then you don't do anything until your party faces a boss and you just blow your divine load all at once.

Like any other campaign? Take the elements each player brings to the table, work them into the story and give them things to care about.
Then again, I've long held the belief that relying on death to create stakes is a sign of a bad GM, a bad group, or both.

I am not sure where else to post this, but I need your dieselpunk artwork. Preferably ships and aircraft, but character art is okay. Mechs, power armor and similar aren't what I'm looking for but it's not like I can stop you from posting them.
