The Wet Fart

>>51249488
All of my campaigns feature a tavern called the Bear and Bull, run by a retired adventurer minotaur. Inside the tavern, curled up by the fire, is an enormous brown bear.

If I need the party to be in a tavern for whatever reason, I just have the bear be outside, doing tricks, like juggling, or letting children ride on his back, and that usually entices the group to check it out.

In one campaign I sort of inverted the dynamic, and had the bartender be an awakened bear, and the bull was just an enormous Aurochs head mounted above the fireplace, but that was a much sillier game in general.

>The Iron Man, named so for the incredibly realistic figure of a human male. Rumors abound of it once being real.

>The Bad Magic Brewhouse, once a potion of transmutation found it's way in to the best reserve of the publican. Hilarity ensured.

First faction I should choose guys?

It is 256 years since the Third Battle of Panipat, fought about 60 miles (97 km) north of Delhi between a force of the Maratha Empire and the forces of the King of Afghanistan, Shah Abdali, supported by two Indian Muslim allies—the Rohilla Afghans of the Doab and the Nawab of Awadh. The battle pitted the French origin artillery and cavalry of the Marathas against the heavy cavalry and mounted artillery of the Afghans and Rohillas. The battle is considered one of the largest fought in the 18th century, and has perhaps the largest number of fatalities in a single day reported in a classic formation battle between two armies.

The once-great Mughal empire had been in phase of decline for decades while Maratha power was on the ascendancy. When Persian ruler Nadir Shah easily invaded India in 1739 any remaining illusion of the continued domination of Mughal power was shattered, and India entered a period of great instability. Some states that were formerly part of the Mughal empire declared their independence. Others continued to pay lip service to the seat of imperial power while following policies that were increasingly independent. Among those rebelling against the empire the Marathas, who had even challenged Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s authority, captured a large swathe of territory in central and north India.

Meanwhile the Afghan ruler Ahmad Shah Abdali was making frequent inroads into Punjab. Abdali decided to strike back and check Maratha power. In 1759 Abdali and his allies reached upto Lahore and Delhi. Seeing the Afghan advance, the Maratha chieftain Sadashivrao Bhau headed north towards Delhi with an army of 100,000 men that was strengthened by other Maratha forces on the way.

There were several tactical manoeuvres from both sides but eventually the Marathas were encircled and their supply lines disrupted. Smaller battles continued through the months and forces from both sides amassed for the final assault. But the food was running out for the Marathas.

That is one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard of

>>51285796
Nah. That's like humanizing the skaven and they didn't get any really good characters in fantasy end times.

Thanquol? Queek?

Remind me what's evil's sales pitch was.

Switch their understanding of good and evil.

From your comparsions, I'll assume 3.5/PF:
Refluffed artificer. Symbiotes as magic items.

>>51284164
Yeah, that'd be good. Take a look at Windriders of the Jagged Cliffs and Psionic Artifacts of Athas from Darksun for inspiration. For that matter, psionics would be another option, as would ki. Maybe defiling and preserving. You could look at the the options presented in Player's Option - Spells and Magic (channeling, alienism), too, though I doubt you'd want to use the systems. And if there are genies about you could have sha'ir.

>>51283671
I'm not wholly sure how magic works, but isn't, in all cases but the wizard, it given to you by some great being? so what, is the connection gone? Do the great being no longer exist? Did they loose their natural power?

Reposting the update. For those of you without patience for whitetext, skip to the last two pages.

Work on Ryuki is commencing. This will either by my personal magnum opus or an eternal mark of shame. Or both. Those don't seem mutually exclusive.

>GOD,
Yes, but how many goddesses are there? Because this one certainly is Japanese.

>>51281129
While he's wrong, it's at least good to see someone as vindicated about his universe as 40k fags.

Though, this might be some kind of false-flagging because you want to see people stroke your settings metaphorical cock again. I might just be paranoid.

>>51281129
Why don't you kill yourself for having stupid arguments with autists and being so beta you have to passive-aggressively whine about the previous argument and autist online rather than tell him to fuck off or something.

Ask yourself if it really matters what this guy thinks? Does this guy's opinion on fictional future warriors really affect anything?

Just let it go, let him get worked up over something that's completely meaningless. This is not something that needs to be dealt with at all.

>>51278292
Very old news slowpoke.

>>51278292
are you upset by this or cheering for it?

Not OP but I'm excited. I unironically like pathfinder for the same reasons that make it shit. It's kind of like Rifts, it has its own weird fucked-up charm to it.

Holy shit.

>Ajani calls Chandra "Little Candle"

As bleh as the rest of the story is, that's cute.

I have the feeling it's gonna be us the same four people again conplaining about the story. Might as well add the usual rants to a sticky so we can get it out of our system and proceed to the usual nostalgia fagging.

How did wizards fail so badly at establishing why this fight is important? I'm this close to taking Dovin's side. Him and Gideon seem like the only characters with sense around.

Why can't he just jack in?

Realistically how should a runner team respond if Brakhaven shows up to "request" something from your runners after giving you an anonymous meet message, then shortly afterwards having UCAS FBI get the drop on you and give you a counter-offer?
Completely hypothetical of course.

the magic using races once resembled humans, but repeated exposure to magic energies slowly turned them into very, very strange beings.

>>51249342
Some old legends say that they WERE humans, once.

One of these races is the deep ones

You don't.

And stop making these threads. Holy shit what a dumb excuse.

>Strong, powerful women
This is increadibly easy to subtly shove into a game. In fact, many people who don't share this fetish do it already. The Amazonian barbarians go on boyfriend hunts, the heir to the throne has a scandalous affair with his female bodyguard, the female adventurer retires and marries a baker in her hometown etc. etc.

Ah, the benefits of being boring and vanilla.

>>51209604
It wouldn't be stealthily at this point because my friends know my magical realm since I came out about having stealth end it into a character when we were all confessing the magical realmery that we've all done.
