Basically Elves pop up out of fucking no where and follow a nature goddess and as a result start a new age religion to convert humans into their ranks that actually gained a shitton of followers. To the point entire cites across the globe go into civil war for this religion. Here comes a global military effort to stop this religion from spreading all over the globe. However, this effort was ultimately defeated by the goddess using her powers she fucked over this combined military force she turned them all into beastmen,insectmen, and even orc like creatures. As a result they lost the battle for their countries forcing almost all of them to become depressed veterans or mercenaries trying to make it by due to their own countries abandoning as a result of the mutations them they might be scumbags to many but they have a deep brotherhood with the other mutants even if they are from different countries.

Now the mutant mercs are stuck in a middle of a war between a coalition of former world powers and a faction of nature zealots what is even worse both sides make propaganda smearing the mutants as nothing but insane monsters who will rape and eat you. However even with this fact the mutants still uphold a code to protect the few human cities and settlements that remain neutral in this world ravaged by nature and war.

Came up with this on the spot might expand on it if people like it.

>Players need to figure out why

Because no one gave it fuel for eight thousand years, duh.

Epic 4chan memes about Jews

Oh sorry, I thought you asked "what are people going to post in this thread".

I don't know anything about Hanukkah except you can also spell it chanukah, sorry.

>>50877289
That's the point. Their god did it, now it's not working.

>>50877300
I hope not. Jewish Culture is actually pretty cool, from what I know about it.

Great food too.

Pic-related is the best method.

1. Keep it reasonable. Don't throw in tragedy for the sake of tragedy.
>Orphaned when parents died of disease, foster parent was often neglectful bordering on abusive
Workable.
>Watched parents get tortured and killed by uncle. Kept in dog crate and fed only spiders and gruel, only let out for daily beatings
Pushing it.

2. Show emotions and growth. And I mean a broad range of emotions--not even necessarily positive ones. Things like impotent frustration, desperation, jealousy, envy, exhaustion, regret. If you're just rotating between angry, sad, and snippy, it doesn't make me think you're deep and complex, it makes me think you need a juice box and a nap.

3. Don't equate dark with cool. You can be sullen or calloused. If someone says "My son died," and your character says "good, it'll save him having to grow up in this awful world," it should be as a cry for help, not to be like "oooooooh, so badass!"

>new guy wants to learn "regular" 40k after playing nothing but kill team, so I offer to do a 1,000pts game to show him how the game works
>Poor guy owns mostly riptides and other big shit because when he initially bought in the only other player was a knight army and he thought that was his only way to fight it.
>MFW I'm showing up with an Executioner Leman Russ and a little over a 100 guardsmen
>Fully expect to be murdered horribly, but dammit I'm going to get a lasgun kill on a riptide as a personal victory and noob will get to kill guardsmen to learn how shooting works
>He gets first turn, sets up kind of aggressive, I tell him about seizing and how its usually a good idea for shooty armies to go for it. He says go ahead and roll for it
>Of course I roll a 6
>que about 100 guardsmen lighting up one riptide that is in the open and dropping it to one wound before the game even really starts
>Game devolves into "Conscripts: Yahtzee edition" as they charge across the board anally devestating anything in their path
>Noob has to end turn 4 as we took a lot of time teaching him his codex and learning what all his units did, but not before 2 riptides have gone blind from amateur LASIK surgery.
>Barely even lost 20 guardsmen, an unheard of record for IG, and was closing in on a lot of the objectives
>Noobie laughs, said he had a great time, and thanked me for being so patient as I calmly watched the worst small arm in the game brutally murder one of the most efficient monstrous creatures I know of.
>I keep apologizing for the ridiculous rolls and try to explain to him that normally riptides don't fail every nova reactor test for 4 turns in a row, but he's cool with it and says he can't wait for the next game
>MFW

I...I don't think you understand how tabletop works friend. DMs who wipe a party don't "win" it's not a competition at all. It's a "coop storytime" with rules so its fun and interesting.

Tabletop isnt just rpgs, guy.

>Playing VTM
>Ventrue youngling gets job from his boss to ruin a nightclub
>Pulls some strings and involves the other PCs
>Does some research, finds out this club is part of something way bigger. Possibly Vampires.
>No choice anyway. Female Brujah infiltrates the club, makes friends with Manager of the club, who may or may not be a vampire, and is incredibly charismatic and the main reason for the clubs succes. Seems to be important to the grand organization too.
>Party tries some things, pokes around, does some minor mayhem.
>Brujah finds out the Manager is addicted to betting.
>She's a goody-two-shoes not yet broken by the vampire world, but the other 3 vampires are pretty big assholes and decide to ruin the club by hacking the account and losing all the money they can get in horse races.
>Its not even about the lost money, its about making them lose trust in their manager, thus ruining their biggest asset.
>Afterwards, the nosferatu will get into the empty appartments over the club, and flood the whole building.
>Damn, thats evil
>the others manage to convince her she has to find out which websites he bets on and what username he uses by pretending to be interested in him
>She charms her way in, gets everything they need, then dances and talks with the manager for the rest of the night
>Realizes he's probably not a vampire, because he keeps a bottle of whisky in his office desk, drinking without having to puke it out again
>Has existential crisis, doesnt know how to deal with the situation

Maybe isnt the most epic of stories, but I love how my players play out their character strengths and weaknesses as a top priority for the game. Having a moral dillema, manipulating each other and letting themselves be manipulated because it fits the narrative.

Also, speaking of good GM feels
>tfw you go to the bathroom and hear your players loudly discussing what they are going to do next

[Beyblade Basic Moves]

Force Smash: A style of Beyblade attack that uses slopes on the underside of an Attack Ring or Wheel to try to force the opposing Beyblade against the stadium floor and disrupt its spin.

Smash Attack: A style of Beyblade attack that focuses on hitting the opposing Beyblade with enough force to deplete their spin completely or knock them out of the stadium.

Upper Attack: A style of Beyblade attack in which the opposing Beyblade is lifted from the stadium floor. This is usually accomplished by using an AR that has a ramp-like slope that reaches under the opposing Beyblade and forces it to ride up the slope until it is no longer touching the stadium floor.

[Beyblade Special Moves]

Each Beyblade will have its own set of special attacks and abilities.

[Variables]

Spin Velocity: Refers to the Beyblade's RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). More accurately, though, it is used to refer to the Beyblade's ability to sustain this spin velocity over the course of the battle.

Recoil: Refers to as the often undesirable result of a collision between two parts, in which the Beyblade is knocked in the opposite direction after colliding with its opponent, resulting in decreased Stamina and a possible self-KO. Prominent contact points that make contact with another Beyblade is usually the cause of Recoil.

Weight: Refers to weight distribution, or how much weight is focused on a radial axis from the center of the Beyblade.
-Outward Weight Distribution
-Centered Weight Distribution
-Even Weight Distribution

[Misc]

Currency: Used to purchase Beyblades, parts, upgrades, equipment, and pay for repairs.

Combat: Winning and losing will be decided w/ dice and a bit of number crunching. Combat is turn-based, with players trading blows, lining up strategy combos, and carefully weighing their choices between their different combat skills. Each combat skill has a different use and effect depending on how much they surpass or fall short of beating an enemy's roll.

bumping

devil's in the details. how does movement work in your system?

>>50874538
Only ever happened once during all my life, and funnily enough during my second D&D 5.0 campaign.

It was more comical than anything, as my character, human rogue, cucked the an elf king out of his still virgin wife. Our DM did his damnest to make that guy the biggest beta ever, it was kind of amazing and satisfying to deflower his queen.

When that happens marraige usually is involved afterwards

Once, on our wedding night.

Sounds horrible.

Classic dungeon crawling action given a horrible aesthetic? How can we make this touch as many media as possible?

For what country/culture?

Robotech/Macross was made in the 1980s and isn't dark and dreary.

>>50873399

>1970s

Psychedelic and distopian, in a social sense.

>1990s

Optimism generally.

I moved about a week ago and have been hemorrhaging money ever since, but I got myself a starter kit for the wargame I want into and am getting back into any hobby at all.

>>50868923
I received a number of bottles of nice inks for fountain pens, a nice fountain pen, and some large, agate book ends. Plus a lotta books. How about you, Anon?

>>50864900
I never understood 'generic fantasy', because I never got the hang of LOTR and was exposed to Discworld early enough for it to ruin generic fantasy.
So I just build my own settings as and when required.

>>50864900
That's one smug GM.

>>50865545
Wouldn't you be smug if your players were cute girls in short skirts?

FIRST FOR THE FIRST ORDER!

Second for Carrie fisher is in the ICU in Ronald Reagan hospital in LA no news otherwise, so for all of us. May the Force be with her.

>>50861597
But does the First Order protect interstellar trade, hunt pirates, keep rogue Imperial units from Base Delta Zeroing planets? Naw man. They have become that which they despise: The Rebel Alliance.
