Travel far, kill shit, cannibalism.

>800 lbs of roasted coffee beans

Rather than awkward treasure, i'm more wondering what possibly made the DM give you this?

>>50945127
We ditch adventuring and open a café.

I quit on the spot because coffee was not in medieval Europe and my immersion is destroyed.

I want to be a hero

Nice attempt at bait.

Will give you a Troll/10 for getting me to respond.

You could at least pick different image this time

I got this for Xmas and it's pretty fun so reckon I would probably like silver tower too, the minis look pretty cool too:

It's not the original and differs in mechanics and setting
So no.

I like it a lot. It's a dungeon crawler with warhammer figs, what's not to love?

Scythe

Absolutely abysmal, even if you want to play it as euro-builder

>>50943250

But that art! Look at it!

>>50943266
The art is literally the only good thing in this "game"

Which perfectly fits the theme of marketing coup

>>50942298
Well the model doesn't have a base, is it actually specified anywhere that it needs to stand on it's "feet"?

Good luck actually firing any of those weapons though (i'm fairly sure the defiler's battlecannon isn't barrage).

It does not

>>50941924
You wouldn't be able to understand what you were seeing.

You don't survive it.

When Cthulhu truly wakes, everyone will go mad. His psychic presence while still sleeping disturbed and destroyed the psyches of hundreds of artists and dreamers across the world, and gave nearly everyone nightmares.

If the stars were truly right, he would rise, and your brain would be altered, but it would not be because of Cthulhu. There would literally be full onset total schizophrenia, and everyone would be suffering a different version of it. Nyarloahotep would finally take the world, and the world would end in madness and howling laughter as the Great Old Ones took their places across the world and no longer concerned themselves with sleep.

Cthulhu is merely their high priest. He's not a god.

The Outer and Other Gods are what he would call down to earth. THEY are what would drive you mad, not Cthulhu himself.

>>50941924
>What would one look like?
The Mist

>How would it be survived?
As Yog-sogothery serpentine, betentacled arachnids.

>>50941961
This is a fairly apt description of it, but given that such large-scale insanity probably wouldn't be fun to write or roleplay through, we can assume that on the opposite end of the scale from the 'hundreds of artists and dreamers' who are most psychically susceptible, there are probably a number of people (sort of like 40k nulls, perhaps?) who are a little bit more resilient to the worldwide mindfuckery that Cthulhu's awakening would create.

As a result, you probably have slavering hordes of madmen and cultists participating in widespread orgies of slaughter and looting, with the more lucid ones organising to worship their new masters and many people simply becoming feral.

The idea of the last sane men and women in the world struggling to eke out an existence in the ruins of civilisation and evading the attentions of maniacs and their otherworldly masters is actually a really interesting jumping off point for a setting.

Had a really rough idea about playing refugees in the middle of a Syrian-esque setting. Mostly about supplies, trust and attempting to reach your destination.

>>50940825
I've played generic arab civil war wargames, not a specific Syria one though.

>>50940825
I did run a thinly veiled fantasy-syrian civil war campaign where the minority of elves who had kept control of their nation were being attacked through foreign funded proxies. Lots of alliances and backstabbing and betrayal. Kurds were dwarves ofcourse.

I always thought it'd be fun to have a breed of slime that act as friendly little symbiotes. Like instead of a stopping to take a healing potion a pet slime could move across your body plugging up wounds or turning into a living cast to reset broken bones. inb4 this thread will be literally flooded with slime girl art before we know it

So I always liked this:
>non directional gravity and surfaces
Essentially the entire setting is within tunneled out caverns, nooks, and halls inside of a solid structure. This being a planetoid or otherwise. Perhaps some settlements are on the surface, but the majority being in caves is more interesting as it makes map making far more complex.

Two words:
Booze Ooze.

Dwarven stout brought to life as a slime. Alcohol constitutes a significant portion of its body, so much so that even slight contact with humanoids can intoxicate them.

>>50937709
So we can never ever ever never talk about normal people, but there seems to be two different schools of thought when it came to dragons.

One wants to never ever ever never define dragons because that would simply be too pedestrian.

The other seemed to want to make the Many Angled Things

For the moment the Core mechanic is "Rivers and Lakes"

You have a dice pool of d10s, you roll it and try to find sets of numbers. The number of Dice in a set is the Tens digit, The facing number is the Ones digit.

Example
5,5,5,3,3 is a result of either 35, or 23.

Extra sets can be used to multitask, do extra manuvers in combat, or be banked for later use.
examples;

5,5,5,3,3

35 awarness check to seach for someone for weapons, 23 stealth check to not be noticed while searching for weapons

or,

35 to attack your opponent, 23 to use the momentum to shove your opponent down a canyon.

or,

35 for one roll, store the two 3s for later.
Roll 3,3,2,1,5. normally a result of 23, 12, 11, or 15. Use banked dice set to add to roll. result is now 43, 12, 11, or 15.

so what weirder kinds of giants are there?

sea giants? magma giants? space giants? giants that are focused on eating basically everything?

Salt is valuable because it allows one to preserve food.

Setting has various hostile slug-like lifeforms. Salt is a weapon.

>>50936613
This. >>50936624
Best in a setting where Purify Food and Drink is an actually useful spell outside of intrigue, or better, with no easy magic at all.

In D&D, no. They are guided by nature itself, and as such are neither good nor evil as nature acts only to achieve balance. Most animals are not intelligent enough to make moral decisions, and even those that could perhaps have the rudimentary capability to perform simple judgement values are unable to defy the rules of nature, the instincts that control them and outline their existence.

There are, however, magical beasts that are good and evil, who take their natures from divinities that either seek harmony or absolute dominance.

Depends on their intelligence, dolphins are known to rape things and kangaroos tend to lure dogs near water then drown them despite not being a threat.

Everytime your ship uses its warp drive, it travels through Hell. Your ship likes this.

>Hyperspace is explicitly connected to the Force, somehow.
>Those who are sensitive to it must take up monk-like training and teachings as to keep it under control and serve the galactic community with star navigation, among other things.
>Those sensitive who do not go into training early enough tend to go made and bring much more harm than good, including localized disturbances in hyperspace.

>While this keeps spontaneous Hyperspace turbulence down in more populated systems of space, taking in every sensitive somebody and giving them a lifelong education isn't always the best idea.
>There are those more malicious who use the knowledge and training for less than peaceful and detached reasons.
>They speak at length with great leviathans who make Hyperspace their home, and are often promised great power for serving them and their interests.
