1 archenemy and 3 heroes is considered "standard" I guess.

Archenemy Planechase Commander, with a Two-Headed Giant team as the archenemy is some of the most ridiculous kitchen table fun you can have with Magic.

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but the first thought I had is the sort of psychological horror Silent Hill uses, only revolving around the horrible bullying that occurred

School is hell already. Play Monsterhearts.

Seriously, what he said: >>54881142

Gotta make it very PC-specific tough.

don't forget the most ominous thing a school can make someone dread: your future.

I mean, time slips away from us easily, once day you're in your carefree schooldays, hanging with friends, but suddenly you realize your adult life is around the corner and all the comforts of your school years will be gone, and no matter how bright, talented, or well-behaved you were in school, it doesn't promise a good future. And even getting a good job and livelihood, you still lose all the fun of being a child and will only continue to be burdened with responsibilities and obligations as you get older.

I ran just a bit of it & played just a bit of it. The Sorceries are really hit & miss, the mechanics are weird, but all in all i really like 7th Sea. Hopefully Eisen gets more focus. Not!Germany is my favorite & I hate how hey have the least useful Sorcery & Dracheneisen is no longer the awesome stuff it used to be

Sigmar is alive.

Myrmidia was steady drained by Chaos until death.

Ulric was killed by Teclis but Archaon finished him off and sent the last of his essence inti oblivion.

>>54876857
>Myrmidia was steady drained by Chaos until death.

What happen exactly?

>>54876678
Sigmar is the new god, the unifier, the conqueror, the emperor, the light to follow

Ulric is an old god, it's the power of the wolf in winter, of men in past nights, of guys that want fantasy space wolves

Myrmidia is an Athena rip off, also an old goddess of war, it's THE lady of anyone that doesn't live in bretonnia, she also has cooler knights

Start at the beginning, continue through the middle until you reach the end, then stop.

But srsly, wtf is your question? Read the book and play a game, what are you asking about?

Death had two crowning moments. This

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjNqQourCBo

And the end of Thief of Time when the world is ending and the 4 Horsemen have assembled and Death turns to the Auditors and says

THE PROPHECY SAYS THAT WE MUST RIDE OUT, IT DOES NOT SAY WHO WE WILL RIDE OUT AGAINST.

I think the time he plays the song that'll end the universe in Soul Music also counts.

Death was one of the best Discworld characters. He was the Ultimate Reality but he was on our side. He had seen some shit and a lot of it was shit that hurt but he always did his job and when things went too far and he had no alternative he would kick ass.

He challenged the universe to a Rock Off and won.

Haven't read in years, don't remember a thing, this is all guesswork.

Guess: Experienced companies are in short supply during wartime, everybody he wants to hire has already been hired by somebody else?

>>54875642
What do you mean? Tullies are the ones with the biggest and mostly unharmed army right now in the books. Those aren't Lannister men taking Dragonstone.

>>54876176
Tyrells.

Fucking idiot starts a thread when he doesn't even have the name right. This is also a /tv/ discussion so fuck off.

This is also pretty trash both in appearance and usage.

Commons should be simple, anon, so new players don't get discouraged ;)

I mean the entire concept of a sparring mummy, in combination with that not-so-great art.

I'm on a roll anyway so...

How about Strike!, A Game of Tactical Combat and Heedless Adventure?

Strike! is a generic system that exclusively uses a d6 for resolution, usually with no modifiers aside from advantage/disadvantage. This makes the game really really fast and simple to play (it's literally just "roll d6, see what happens on your chart"), which makes it ideal for oneshots. Because it's mechanics first and easy to refluff, you can convert just about any adventure from any setting/game (although there are some okay guidelines to just make shit up as you go as well). There are also a number of rules variants, for example a 2d6 variant (which does use modifiers, kinda PbtA style), or alternate skill systems that let you adjust how mechanically complex you want/fit the game to the genre.

While the above works as a sorta OK generic system alone, the main draw of the game is the Tactical Combat. This is basically a D&D-like, grid based squad focused skirmish minigame. It uses the same very simple resolution (d6+adv/disadv), retaining the speed and simplicity, but introduces all sorts of more complicated effects. To put emphasis on the teamwork aspect, each character gets to choose a Role on top of the Class, which enhances their powers in various ways. Classes themselves usually have 2-3 alternate paths and a number of alternate abilities to choose from each level, which leads to a really large amount of possible (and varied) characters. Fluff is decoupled from Class/Role, so if a player wants to, he can make up anything to fit any class/role to his character (or play the implied stereotype straight, if possible). Pic related is what I used for random generation (roll d20+d6) for a oneshot. Here >>54875074, I stat out RWBY characters (of all things) for fun. Enemies are created using simplified rules, and you can translate just about anything, including "unfair" or "titanic" opponents. Also, bunch of optional rules as usual.

Hit limit, questions?

My hand is forced, here, have the books too: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a1i5mhmasq77iqm/Strike%20Books.zip?dl=0

-How many bonding studs can one use before he's mutilating the intended form of the machine?

-The local eletromagnetic storms produce much jamming and even spontaneous scrap code. Is this a sign of the Omnissiah to be studied or a chaotic taint? What do the electropriests think?

A person is able to cram in the usual Admech expected collective of augs into himself and not look like total shit

Another is a fully auged barely working postured bag of augs that may not even be human anymore.

Somehow, the one who stripped a few casing down to make them all fit and still maintain a human viage is the techheretic despite not inventing anything new, and doesn't carry any respect because he doesn't look like a complete fucking Transhumanist Speciestraitor introverted contrarian cunt.

First is finding a reason for an adventure.

Humanity has lived content, if bored shitless, for millions of years in the Redoubt.

>>54875172
Yeah good point. I guess it needs to be a real fucking good reason for someone to leave the Redoubt EVER.
