I don't get you, OP.

You said post terrible concepts then went and wrote something amazing.

>>50601388
Antagonists in stories usually lose, yes.

Did you just figure this out?

>>50601436
They are almost never main antagonists either they are always just cannon fodder until main villain race arrives.

>>50601388
I actually think it makes sense for a race/culture that focuses too much on fighting to lose anything other then minor skirmishes.

In one of my games we actually tried teaching a bunch of orcs how to fight in a group, but it failed EXTRAORDINARILY because they simply can't process it. It's simply not "Them".

But really I don't see why that would bother anyone, they're meant to be minor monsters and making them evolve would inevitably change what they are- and that's already half-orc territory.

Play aasimar. Done.

Make it a dick halo. That way, it's out of sight until the dramatic reveal.

Make the halos out of metal instead of light.

It's a Primus Medicae

That's rad as hell.

Love where they're going with this.

Instead of the strict and boring A , B or C 40k marines all get, they're allowing for 30k minis to have weird and unique pieces of gear

>>50595826
Actually makes sense. If you're going to have frontline medics you would want to have them as armoured and protected as possible.

It was alright when I played it, I had fun and it was a nice combo between the gameplay of 2 and 1. Infantry do feel pretty fucking worthless though with the Knights on the field that just rape.

have the tryhard hoodie they gave me for actually finishing the mission.

Eww did they bring back basebuilding?

>>50595218
This is what I'm hoping for

>>50594753
It's kind of weird to try to roleplay a character magically incapable of creativity or original thought. How would you even do that?

>>50594976
Adapting old ideas. There are virtually infinite ideas to choose from.

>>50594976
It comes naturally to me, since I'm also incapable of creativity or original thought. I just parrot what I read on 4chan.

how much shit would I get if I showed up with my darkmech army with a brass scorpion as a LoW?

>>50579777
A better use of the power would be to draw the Inferno closer to us.

Reminder that Black Library leads to shitposting.

They breed like rabbits.

Literally like rabbits.

Let loose into an environment where their natural predators - the middle classes - aren't present, such as a medieval fantasy setting or australia, their sheer numbers starts to have negative effects upon crops, with thousands of the chinless fucks able to strip a field of carrots bare within an hour.

>>50593658
They do forbidden things that lead to problems that the adventurers have to clean up.

>>50593658
My DM inserts them nearly all the time, and nearly all the time they are absolute, total, ungrateful dicks who hate adventurers for no reason.
> You sure helped us and saved the world! However, you made us look weak and inept in the process, so we'll hang you, guys.
Every fucking time.

Evenly distribute everyone among all the rooms with absolutely no communication between them. Even if there are obvious sounds of battle, everyone stays in their room and pretends like nothing is wrong until their door gets kicked in.

You joke, but sadly I think that's how the thing is balanced/ meant to be played?

This is Embers of the Forgotten Kingdom, by the way.

Apparently it's by the people who did Baby Bestiary.

Since my original OP was too long:

>It has a pretty neat system for their version of Hollowing.
You start the game with a bunch of Bonds and every time you die you either take a debility or lose one of your bonds. There's a big focus on memories and the amnesia, versus pushing forward and creating a new life. It's got a neat system for XP, alongside that usual PbtA style, where you have two separate tracks: Radiance and Memories, and each time you "level up" in one track, you get to choose a special event from that track but cross off an event from the other track. Once you've gotten four of either, you can basically signal the beginning of the end of the game by either discovering and renewing or creating a new bastion to defend. Of course, each time you die instead of taking a debility or losing a bond, you can also permanently lose one of your Radiance or Memory rewards.

It seems interesting so far, though I haven't actually read Dungeon World yet. They handle the whole obfuscated lore thing by having players create some of the lore. There are sample areas, but they come with questions to ask the players. Players can also do a Move to remember information and if they get what I think is the Dungeon World equivalent of a critical, they get to make up a fact about the world (if they get a normal success, they remember most of it, but the GM fleshes the rest out).

>>50592733
Hollowing would work about the same as it did in the lore: the final death you don't come back from. Either as flavor for when the player simply stops playing, or as an enforced mechanic for a limited death counter.

As for actually running the campaign, Dark Souls may be light on the story, but what story it does have is defined by plots within plots and schemers scheming against schemers. The player character is a puppet being sent to kill things, and there are no less than two or three sets of hands trying to force their way into that tight butthole at any time. The backstory takes this over the top, with schemers running their plots for upwards of several hundred years, with projected arcs that could, and in one case does, outlast written history a few times in a row. To feel like Souls, the players would need to have major characters actively keeping them oblivious and using them to complete their own objectives and remove obstacles, while other characters give them very convincing arguments to flip them over to their side, all while enough information is sitting around to make everybody look suspect but the players know for a fact that in the end they'll be advancing somebody's agenda no matter what they do. Really reinforces that hopeless feeling and the theme of everybody fighting over the last few scraps and trying to make the best of a world rapidly approaching heat death, where the heat death is a living, malevolent force with an agenda of its own.

just keep killing them all and making them start over, it'll feel just like the game

Anyone know of a good homebrew or conversion for the Inquisitor class from Pathfinder? I'd love to play as one in 5e, I need to be able to fuck with peasants calling them sinners and then proceeding to whip the sin out of them.

>>50608632
Is it the flavor or the mechanics that you want to replicate in 5e?

Are there any 2-level dips that would go well with the new Arcane Archer Fighter? Can anyone with more experience than me give their overall opinion of that archetype? The concept looks pretty fun.

>>50602808
You play World of Warcraft don't you?

>>50602833
Haven't in a really long time, since BC. Why do you ask?

>>50602845
A number of the names are very WoW sounding

Somebody watching a certain Terraria playthrough?

A haunting of ghosts.

A greed of Dragons

A seduction of Sirens

A lethargy of slimes.

Posting my Scourges to start off the thread. Did some work on the bat wings, going to add some freehand tattoos to them. What colors do you guys recommend?

Arm-Pit anon here wondering if anyone else is going to be late asses like me for Secret Santa?

Thanks for our patient Santa organizer tho. Sounds like a rough job

just spilt a entire pot of tamiya plastic cement in the carpet. My entire room smells like a nail salon.

Any ideas how to repair my fucked carpet and get the stain out? I dropped it only a min ago.
