Have a well protected barrel that presumable holds his loot. Keep hinting at it. Like, make it so obvious that there's something good in there.
When your players finally open it, it's filled with fish. Red herring, in particular.

>>50522864
Find out if characters your players use have surviving relatives. Like moms, sisters, daughters, whatnot.
Then have the villain hunt them down, be a genuine gentleman, knock them all up, then after the baby is born, he reveals his true identity to them. Before dipping the fuck out of there.
Why? Because "I fucked your mom." Never gets old.

Warhammer does this brilliantly, but I'd like to see how much better /tg/ can pull it off. That said, let's move on to the thread. I do not intend to bait, if you want to bitch about Games Workshop, post a thread of your own. Don't drown the setting in Edginess, you can't have the dark without light, you can't have good without evil, and all that. With that said, onto the Thread.
<End of Intro>
> Once every few thousand years, the Ashwalker awakens. It is a being of total and primal heat, fire, and destruction, and it wishes to burn all things for the sake of devastation. It is a godlike Fire Elemental that wields enough power to obliterate entire metropolises in mere minutes, and the efforts of the most powerful Arch Mages are nothing more than sand castles before a tsunami's wrath. The Ashwalker, devastating as it is, is only able to enter the material plane when the stars align once, or rarely, twice every dozen millennia. After roughly a week of apocalyptic ruination the stars move out of alignment, and it is forced to leave, as reality can no longer sustain its presence.
> None know where the Ashwalker goes when it leaves and none wish to know, though many do speculate on its origins and home dimension. It is revered by many insane pyromaniacal cults as a Deity of pure destruction, and they seek to destroy civilization, order, and morality in its name. The most fanatical of these cultists are blessed with fiery power capable of melting the strongest walls like butter, and cutting the stoutest armor as if it were a blade through wet paper. The Ashwalker's return is long overdue, its last fiery cleansing was fifteen thousand years ago, any day now it shall return. Its followers are becoming increasingly zealous and destructive by the hour.

I love the setting, I love the Kiai/Aiki economy, I find the combat system so frustratingly boring.
It has all the elements to be this amazing high action roleplaying experience and then the actual combat just devolves into dull roll offs with no actual strategy or decision making. It's such a damn shame.
>>
I have played one session of it after excitedly showing it off to my group, specifically the Lotus Blossom scenario. My players couldn't wrap their heads around the Aiki/Kiai and were too hesitant to spend Kiai on some of the important rolls. The emphasis on one shots turned me off completely even though I gave it a try. Not enough time for my players to get into their characters or become invested in the story. They ended up slaughtered by a Kohngoki before the final scenes.
>>
>>50521810
Man, that kinda sucks. I woulda thought that the Kiai roleplaying stuff would have made for interesting fights.

I don't think so. Just because something like immortality violates some kind of natural law doesn't make it inherently evil. It would be like saying building houses and civilizations is evil since you aren't living with nature.

The guy who wrote Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality seemed to think it was part of natural human desire, so... yeah, it's probably a pretty douchey desire at the very least.

This honestly relies a lot on context.
It's why killing backstory characters is so common, even though IMO it's lazy and wasteful. People fall back on it as a cheap way of raising the stakes without really putting much thought into the situation as a whole.
Writing an engaging villain is all about relationships with your players. Although it's also not a sure thing. I never write NPCs with the assumption that they're a big deal. I put together some ideas, throw them out there and see what sticks.
You can weigh the odds though. Look at character backstories, how they interrelate, what they care about and so on. Maybe a villain was related with an event they mention in their backstory, or what have you. It's tricky, but it's worth the effort.
I'm making a game about trains humanism types. What are options. What are options besides genetic augments, cyborgs, and people with animal DNA?

Ball is happening NEXT WEEKEND, December 10, due to Thanksgiving slowing everyone down. /qa/ nearly let this die again, so we gotta start stoking those fires. Start ramping up OC. If you can't draw, try writing. If you can't do either, come up with some ideas and fodder for boards to do together. Someone was working on Wacky Races. Someone was working on thematic MtG decks.

So completely ignoring the premise of the thread I'm curious what it would be like if you had people whom you knew were vampires and were okay with it as long as they didn't drag people away to eat them.
I'm imagining Vampires walking around during the day in fasionable full body suits that protects their skin from the sun sort of like that movie where most of the population became vampires.

>>50512406
Boy you must be funny to hang around with.
Your ship has entered the Weft!
The weft is a realm of order. Dust in the weft naturally arranges itself into geometric patterns which go on forever. It is populated by beings which look like free-roaming hypercubes which are non aggressive, fastidiously polite, can render themselves intangible and fix machines and people who come through it by radiating near them. They also convert any daemons and so forth into more of themselves. Traveling one meter in the weft is the equivalent of traveling at most 0.5 meters in real space at the level of the weft closest to realspace. Psykers caught in the weft gradually become mentally stable.

Neverwinter Nights General /nwng/
General thread for /tg/'s NWN server (WIP).
>Current Subject:
Should we build the server with a region with a published setting or homebrew our own setting?
There's advantages to both; the published setting route can give PCs a great deal of familiarity.
Alternately option 3, we could make up a demiplane attached to a published setting, such that characters could be from that published setting rather than needing to know our demiplane, which allows us to make our own region but have factions/races/cultures/history from something published.
What are your thoughts?
>NWN is a D&D Vidya which supports both online and offline gameplay, as well as persistent servers, and a DMs client for running adventures. (IE it's a lot like roll20 with prettier graphics and much of the game mechanics automated.)
>You can get NWN at GoG. Currently it's free (for the next few hours, grab it while you can).

Requesting Human Hunter(Feral)/Monk(Many styles).
Young brown eyed man, fit build rather than swole, long brown scruffy hair.
All of his equipment & clothing would be self made while surviving, or scraps leftover from when he escaped.
So stone, wood, and fur are more likely than cloth or treated leather. He keeps a few stone knives and one spear.
So, yeah basically Yamcha (left) but without the pet, weapons, or nice clothes. And basically Udyr (right) but not as old, big, or beardy.
Though he probably has body & beard hair, just not as nice.
Fun but useless facts:
Can hold his breath for 8 minutes.
Cannot handle his alcohol, but loves it anyways.
