I heard there are bike races there, but I want to hear from Eldar here. What attractions are there. How can I keep safe from rabid, horny bands from dark eldar.

Where can I rent transportaion

Also adding, I've thought about running a scenario where death is a very real thing, saw a thread about such a scenario a while back, and thought it sounded like an interesting spin

I feel like you're missing the point of Pokemon. Your players likely don't want a dark and complex tale, they want to have cool adventures in a lighthearted world with a group of other awesome people and their pokemon.

It's a noblebright setting. Them's the breaks. If you try to bend it away from that, it tends to lose the Pokemon feeling, and it's something I've never seen done well.

It's up to you to find a way to make that immersive without making it dull or grim. Answering random questions also seems like an odd way to do it.

Make up a plot that would make your players and their character interested. That would be enough for avoiding generic exp-grinding
If I were your player, I wouldn't really care about how pokeball/tms and similar things works, but that's me. I find Polemon to be more about an adventure and having a cheerful theme overall

Earth actually exists in D&D, as there are two characters that come from it. The first being the first fucking paladin ever who is literally magical item hunting Clint Eastwood who became a god and has ranger paladins equipped with revolvers, and the other, Literally Rambo, the Kobold, who ended up on earth and served in FUCKING VIETNAM before coming back to the regular planar cosmology as a traveling Kobold who assisted various tribes with his pump-action shotgun and Tucker's Kobold tactics.

Anyhow, let's say this isn't out earth with magic introduced but a similar one, either way, Xp costs are going to fuck you over, and a cult only works if the head actually has the kind of power that can be extended reliably over time, you've also got the intrigues of dumbasses like the inquisition to deal with.

Your main concern is not summoning planar allies for simple aspects of life a small village can revolve prayer and reverence around, it's about rapidly establishing the hierachy for this to extend on a global scale, being a man with power will only last as long as your lifespan is in place, and your works are either the works of a miracle maker, or a demon or witch.

Put it simply, you need to become an Outsider, it doesn't matter what kind, but when you are one, you can make pacts, and thus warlocks, and warlocks, though not true magic casters (though 5e I think changed this) are beings that share the nature of outsiders and the forces they are connected to (outsiders bodies are pretty much their souls) and so, Warlocks can interact with magic with their magical item skill thing.

>>51091747
When you establish your coven of Warlocks, you need to have them each perform the works that add to your power and how your revered and such as you extert influence, and most importantly, prepare yourself for the time when magic-casters finally start showing up of the weave's introduced influence on the plane. People's belifs garned by faith will manifest in the forms of monsters, and it's your job to put a lid on things for as long as possible before it spills out.

To list many tasks you'll have to carry out
>Become outsider using the means to wish level-magic, Ritualism or some other method
>Create warlocks disciples who too, will be as you, and will be sent across the plane to repeat what you have done at the beginning until they too become outsiders, making sure to hold your ownership over them
>Do the usual faith gathering pact prayer stuff, establish yourself as the father of magic, supernatural or "beyond" or whatever, you NEED to take credit for the happens, this will earn respect, favour, and worship, but also fear and distrust for the skeptics, make sure you deal with them later
>Handle the removal of magical beasts with powers extended to followers, and place them in anecdotal stories and teachings that will spread throughout the lands, build your holy book upon these events

All that follows is the preparation for the Divine entity/higher being that will be put in place to ready said plane for the arrival and intrigues of the pantheons featured in the upper planes, there will be no deities at this point and not for a long time, deities don't give a shit about anything past the far realm or vestigal because they're despite their claims, selfish, if you want a very good example of this, see the Buffy the Vampire slayer universe, which is literally a massive watered down D&D setting based in the home world the Obrityhs came from before they started shit in D&D world.

>>51091765
This celestial will try to establish a higher faith, but, will limited in scope, and will not work to the ends you do to establish the heavens in your location, do not engage them, it needs to believe the evil it is dealing with is nothing more than the Blood war crap it deals with back home, and that all is but fringe groups and lackeys, it cannot know about a bigger hierarchy or scheme in the works until you have fully rooted yourself in to the growth of law and civilization.

In order to assume your claim, you've got to actually enforce the base laws of nature Cause and effect to the best advantage, as you're dealing with fringe kingdoms, baronies and very open borders, you need to bet people togther for whatever reason, and insert yourself into the community as a blue to hold it all together and expand, you can't stay in one place otherwise at best you'll just end up a folk talk when your long and gone, and it's not like Kobolds don't look like baby eaters anyhow, you've got to get people to like you using their superstitions and various other means to let you into their hearts.

For starters, you can't tell people your a Kobold, you've got to present yourself as much more, despite your stature, a good idea is to use magic to make your shadow seem like a giant ferocious Serpent or Dragon Creature, so when the curious nomad village youths etc see you by a lit candle in a cave singing in draconic and look to you, they see your shadow and run off, the ones' that don't run away you engage, teach and inspire, until you've got a working angle to instill the workings of a faith.

>black library collection for valuable books?
>black library

You have answered your own question. Give em to a charity shop

>>51090316
Wait, is the Primer really worth anything? Because I have one just lying around collecting dust from my 40k days.

>>51090316
Black Library has no value whatsoever

If anything science beckons the question why, the answer is usually somewhere between "why not" and "because we can".

Yeah, In a WW2 supers game, had a player who wanted to play a multi-millionaire scientist / engineer who had invented the tracking system for battleship cannons.

He then made himself a super-scientist who had invented a walking mecha.

So, Rich smart guy with giant robot. Good archetype? Classic isn't it?

Except it wasn't enough for him.
He had to mass produce his giant robots for the US military to use.

This is actually against the rules of Wild Talents, Super Science effects stop working out of the sight of their creators.

First for Abby the idiot

what if cadia was really an alpha legion operative in disguise?

Ferrus Manus coming back, boys. Get fucking hype.

New body materializes around the phylactery (or at nearest possible point.)

>>51089872
The phylactery typically creates a new body through magical means in D&D, though the actual process isn't particularly concrete or in-depth, presumably to allow GMs to add flairs to their own Liches, IC it's probably something to do with the extremely complicated magic that actually goes into the creation of the Phylactery and the difference between the Liches' personal preferences.

>>51089882
The spirit possessing the nearest dead body sounds cooler though. It would explain why dark lords keep those corpses laying around in their lairs.

>>51089780
Call of Cthulhu in a late medieval setting maybe?

Take a system like Delta Green or any CoC style game and throw the group into the meat grinder of dungeons if you want a tabletop simulation of the game.

Otherwise play a medieval set CoC game.

Even if you get caught play dumb and say you traded for them.

People really can't do much about it, just say you'd $500 out of pocket if they're fake, unless you're at a sanctioned tournament they won't care. I've been to multiple FNM's where a friend has used fake ass proxies and they all just didn't give a shit after he played dumb.

>>51089774
>Are you a piece of shit?

You're taking the piss out of the secondary market, so I'd say no. If WotC sold singles cards directly, it would be a different matter.

>Will I get caught?

Depends on the sett- quality.

>>51089844
What do you mean taking the piss out?

I have no interest in trading my proxy cards. I just want to play my favorite stupid card game without having to dump thousands of dollars into it.
