I'm going to start a tabletop RPG campaign in less than a week, and I need to be able to actually roleplay a character.
How do I simulate personality traits different from my own, and convey them in text? How do I find the exact words my character would say, in a spontaneous manner?
My problem is that I almost always take a very long time to come up with dialogue, so by the time I think of what I want my character to say, the dialogue has moved on and it wouldn't make any sense. This is about speech, not actions. What my character DOES is usually simple enough because there are only a handful of options that aren't suicidal. What my character SAYS is difficult for me. Of course I can get by when I want to suggest a course of action, or I feel my character agrees or disagrees with someone, but those are short sentences and far between.
I don't want to give up roleplaying for life, but the way it usually happens in dialogue-heavy sessions, it's really mentally exhausting for me to the point of being not fun.

Are you literally autistic?
Just play a mute warforged who obeys the other PCs without question.
Or, you know, try some other form of recreation. Maybe you could, I dunno, help the GM by keeping track of all the PCs' inventories. You guys like to keep track of long lists of minutiae, right?
>>51060164
Try adopting the speech patterns and habits of a character from a movie or novel. I appreciate you giving this a try, in my opinion autists like ourselves are well served by pretending to be others.
Necrons were the good guys all along
>>51059418
Trazyn does not represent the Necron race as a whole.
>>51059455
In addition, temporary truces do not represent the general philosophy of the race as a whole, literally every race except Tyranids has fought alongside another faction in the face of a great threat at least once.

Of course. You didn't think Orkz attacked planets at random did you? Everything that happens in current 40k is POTTERY and JUST AS PLANNED.

Kingdom Death is a company that makes a board game called Monster. That's hard to find in a google search though, so it's often just called Kingdom Death: Monster. It's a monster hunting board game which a campaign where you build up a small settlement of survivors.
Kickstarter link:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/poots/kingdom-death-monster-15/description
More details about the game can be found there, and links to pledge managers and other important things are at the top of the page. FAQ is at the bottom of the page.
This one's not listed on that front page, so I'll repost it here.

THEY have lore? The fuck's their damage? What even ARE they? Is Archimedes like Elizabeth in that he's taken over by their bullshit cells, like Attila in being their drone or just helping them for shits and giggles? As far as I can tell they're invading the Earth because fuck you, that's why. At least Notes gave the reason of Gaia issuing a distress call/death curse.
The Velbers just come across like they're doing a bad Anti-Spiral cosplay, now with 200% more alien waifs.

Jumpers, what was yourlewdestjump?
So I'm going to be running an Alien Invasion scenario from FFG's End of the World series for some friends. Since you can't spell Gray without Ayy , I'm prepared to take the game away from a more serious angle and more in a lighthearted/comedic direction if the players lean that way.
Thing is, I have no trouble procuring music for the more serious end (the XCOM osts, Half Life, etc) but I'm a bit stumped looking for music that gives off the alien vibe while being more adventurous/fun.
I guess the best example I can come up with would be the instrumental version of Pendulum's Granite:

>What is Modern/Contemporary Fantasy?
It is the idea of taking a fantasy setting, set somewhere around the late medieval era to the early renaissance, and fast forwarding it to the 19th - 21st century. Imagine making a Dukes of Hazard style jump to ram your car into the side of a Dragon, Or fighting magical Nazis with swords and SMGs.
>Question: What are the hard and fast scientific laws for the setting? i.e. no magical resurrection, no time shenanigans, etc.
Basically how high fantasy do we want to go with this setting? To quote someone from the last thread we don't want a wizard to say:
>I teleport behind you before you teleport behind me and throw you into the sun which turns into a katana
Previous Thread: >>51026251
>>51051613
I agree, no stuff that bends the laws of space-time or physics. Enchantment or augmentation would be cool, elemental manipulation is good as well. I think a hard limit would be something that nature can't reproduce.
>>51051613
This >>51051494 being true would curb most of the craziness, at least from the part of mortals. I'm more than fine with powerful and strange magical phenomena and creatures existing and while not too common, at least heard of and felt in everyday life.
It should be made obvious that the people of this setting live in a magical world and have long ago come to terms with their reality.

Repost from the earlier thread:
Requesting my female dragonborn cleric of Sune (deity of love, beauty and light).
She's a hour-glass figured dragonborn, with fairly long legs. She has two curly thick horns, and ear-slits. Red tinted golden metallic scales with darker scales around her neck and throat. Her most defining feature would be the happy grin she has, as she's seeing an old friend for the first time in decades.
Her outfit is a breast place combined with a robe. She has armored gauntlets, armored boots and a beautiful breast plate (no boob-plate plz) which is adorned by tons of Celtic symbols of the sun and love almost intertwining each other. Her robes are a thick silken kind that shows her figure but is not revealing and has Celtic ornaments braided on them as if they were a priest robe.
She also have a Celtic triskelion tattooed on her left face, on her scales. As dragonborn scales aren't always perfect it's okey if it looks a bit "distorted".
The rest I want to leave up to the drawfriend, but I'm here to answer any questions if someone picks this up! Thanks!

Requesting again this guys as three western medieval knights, with this same pose and with the heraldry indicated in the pic. The age is only relevant if you show the faces uncovered, full helmets are cool too.
Drawing it all or just what's inside of the square is optional. So is drawing the background. If the three guys are in it like I said, I'll be more than satisifed.
Requesting art of a robot NPC.
He's essentially Canti from FLCL design-wise, but his head is like a mix of a CRT television and an astronaut's helmet. On it he displays information like a screen, in a dot-matrix pattern (think of those old orange pinball screens).
He's a very old robot who has traded hands several-hundred times, and has the scuffs and wear accordingly. Some pieces are jerryrigged and there are improvised repairs.
His shoulders are probably a bit broader; he was originally designed for heavy-lifting.
His temperament and demeanor are like that of a C-3PO/Baymax type of robot with severe autism, so if you want to have fun with that, go ahead.
