Everyone is John might be a little too abstract for non-gamers to grasp and have fun with.

I am unaware of the other games.

Never heard of the last two, new players why not something they may actually have heard of Shadowrun, DnD, Pathfinder, 40k,Rifts, TMNT,

You dont have to play a snowflake game and turn them off to gaming.

>>50270801
Motherfucker, we told you last night, play something simpler, you fuckstick.

How many planets were there in SJ anyway?

>>50271251
I think they deal with less than a hundred main ones in the maps, but there are boundless number.

Keeping the crystal spheres, changing the phlogiston to be more like the Astral Plane/Limbo/Warp. It''s also much more like a Dr.Strange depiction of travelling dimensions from the comics, with crystal orbs and tendril currents. In the intermedium are the floating corpses of the gods, their derelict palaces, the chaotic faceless demons that crawl over everything, and the githyanki pirates, profaners of godflesh. Inside the crystal spheres are largely more Star Wars planets than Spelljammer ones, but i'm still undecided on that one, if it takes away the magic/mystery or I can really explore the more stranger planetary depictions without making it too goofy. Im going for more LSD trip through a Hubble telescope than goofy.

Also doing away with the terrible restrictions on magic users that use a Helm, and the constraints of clerics/priests because some hokey about a god's sphere of influence. They're all dead anyway, but the power still works so there is clearly a greater power at work or godliness is a state of mind. Philosophers can't agree which.

Beyond that, it's essentially going to be D&D In Space heavily inspired by Star Wars, Kill Six Billion Demons, Warhammer 40k, and Metal Hurlant/Heavy Metal.

>physical attacks and magic are controlled by the same stat
Do you mean that physical and magic just consume the same resource, or that their effects are governed by the same stat?

If the former, then loads of video-games have tried ideas like it to varying degrees of success. I'd probably give it a name like "energy", and have a series of distinct powers balanced around their energy use and effects.

>>50271571

Physical feats and magic draw from the same resource (Might). Players would decide the physical damage inflicted by their attacks by choosing how much Might to use. An attack using 5 Might would do 5 damage (and also take into account modifiers and armor and whatnot). Magical attacks also consume Might similarly, but a character's intelligence rating can lower the Might cost. Spells can be prepared in advance to reduce the cost as well.

It's been stated I believe that Grail Knights try to be nice to peasants but they are often so detached from them that they don't quite understand what they need to do. For instance, a Grail Knight who's down a horse might requisition one from a peasant family, not knowing that they can't afford to just get a new one.
As to your example, I'm sure the first part would work but I don't think that Grail Knights use much material wealth so I don't know if they would have much gold to give, or if they would even think of the need for it.
Dukes and so forth who have succeeded at the Quest are different, of course.

>>50269226
It was just GW being douchey to Bretonnia and giving them cartoonish amounts of grimderp.

Not all Bretonnian nobles are douches to peasants, too. There are ones that disguise themselves as hooded bandits to fight nobles that abuse their peasantry too much, robin hood style.

>>50266065
Ryuutama has a lot of those kinds of things. Granted, it is more focused on story and traveling in the wilderness rather than surviving in it.

>>50266283
Thanks, I'll check it out

Basic set, my man. Very simple rules with a bunch of depth. Check the campaigns book

Okay, and?

I found your problem OP.

>>50265945
Your examples of this being?
>inb4, "every book."

>>50265545
>inb4 leagefags be gone

Well, the setting is almost not defined and rather generic, just existing as an excuse to have every high/low/dark fantasy, steampunk and whatever other subgenre league characters fit into in the same game.

That beeing said, especially the never writing they started doing helps flesh out the world a good bit and might help to do some coherent and atmospheric adventure.

I can see it working with each plot arc having a strong theme depending on the region clashing with the most likely very mixed backgrounds party
>classic "medieval" stuff in Demacia/Noxus
>pirate shenanigans in Bilgewater
>hunting Void monsters around the globe
>archeology and pyramid dungeons in Shurima
>Example Party Consists of a Ninja, a Knight, some exotic Critter and any flavour of Yordle

It has a very lighthearted and crazy awesome tone to it, so I'd advise against gritty and dangerous systems.
Speaking of System: it would be rather hard to do with something preexisting i guess, especially if one wishes to be true to the source where every character is somewhat simple yet unique in their capabilities.
It might require so much homebrewing that something new might be just as much work.

Might crunch more ideas later if this thread stays alive.
I don't like to play League anymore these days, but I'm always up for Worldbuilding and Gamedesign based on a template.

>>50265713
On one hand, given its somewhat generic setting and powerful heroes, I'm inclined to use DnD. On the other hand, fuck DnD.

(2/4?)
Throughout his years of labor, Garen yearned for the freedom of his childhood, but whenever he mentioned fighting back his father reminded him that their way is not violence. Those who do evil things will always get their punishment, the gods would ensure it. To sink to the levels of violence your captors use, is to become evil yourself. Not only that, but to fight back is to risk your own life, it is not worth the risk. So Garen did nothing, and waited for the gods to smite the evil doers. But as the years went by, no smiting occurred.
One day, after a particularly savage “morale boost”, Garen decided he could no longer sit by and let these humans destroy their way of life. But as always, his father urged him not to, even forbade him. So out of respect for his father, he did not act. After that day he began having unusual and vivid dreams of fields full of men fighting, and kingdoms waging war. Another year went by and every day Garen thought about revolting, but he suffered in silence, waiting for justice to be delivered, but still none came, though the dreams got more and more vivid. In his dreams he saw battles he had only heard of in legend; Great heroes of old came to life in his mind while he slept, each night more real than the last.
Then one morning during work, one of the captors maimed a friend, and Garen finally defied his father. He grabbed a work hammer and beat down the man killing his friend. Other humans took notice and attempted to subdue Garen, but he felt a fury in his blood and felt stronger than he ever had, none of the simple mercenaries could withstand the force of his hammer. Garen strode out of the mines and directly to Gregor’s house, killing a few more humans along the way. Gregor met Garen outside and just laughed at all the weak men in his command who couldn’t even slay this simple primitive beast, referring to Garen.

(3/4)
Garen walked over to Gregor, who drew his sword and shield. Garen began to raise his hammer and Gregor, a seasoned warrior, casually raised his shield. As Garen’s hammer was at its peak, he saw a vision, similar to his dreams, depicting a flaming sword upright against a shield. As the hammer was brought down, he shouted a name, almost involuntarily: “Tempus”. The hammer then suddenly became illuminated and shined like the sun. The hammer ripped through the shield, continued and struck down Gregor in the same blow, killing him.
Once Gregor died, the rest of the mercenaries fled, and his village was freed. After that Garen was known by a new name, Brighthammer. Brighthammer realized something that fateful day. The gods do not smite our enemies for us, they empower us to smite our enemies ourselves. Through battle, the gods determine who is right, and just. By becoming powerful, and fighting for what you believe in, you can make the world a better place.
He made another realization that day. That he no longer respected his father. He loved his father, but he could not respect someone who stands idly by, lets people walk all over you, and use you. Brighthammer developed a disgust for cowardice. He did not agree with his villages way of life. One must fight to secure their place in this world. He couldn’t help but think, the firbolgs attempt at peace may be why the other races trample on them.

(4/4)
Brighthammer left home not long after. He didn’t feel at home anymore. He also couldn’t get that name out of his head “Tempus”, but whenever he spoke it, he felt a rush and a feeling of grandeur. He ventured off to nowhere in particular. In the next few years he roamed around disguising himself as human, learning more about Tempus, as well as working to increase his own power. He practiced his martial combat, and gathered more appropriate equipment. He battled anyone who committed injustices or anyone who was interested in a friendly duel.
He traveled and the more he learned more about Tempus, the more he respected his word. He decided to commit his life to Tempus, becoming a full cleric of the faith. From then on, Brighthammer felt Tempus’ favor flow through him every time he fought in a battle or invoked his name. Every battle when his hammer glowed bright, he was reassured of his path.

After spending 3 years arguing over what system to use?

>>50265012
well i bet that the same adventure could be built with multiple systems.
fluff it out first then do the crunch for what ever system your interested in

>>50265012
alot of systems are similar enough that this isnt really a problem.

>>50264443
Don't know, check both ends.

>>50264443
depends if it's a reptile or dog kobold.

I don't know if lizards can even have wet noses.

>>50264443

I'd be more concerned about the extra pair of arms.

>>50264251
Here's the issue. GW fans / employees wound up trawling through these threads and started reporting the recasters. They would have to shut down one site and open another. So peeps here are now reluctant to just put out the info since they don't want their favorite recaster to suddenly disappear.

>>50264384
Are there any places where you can get contact info privately?

>>50264470
Not really. I spent a long time searching through all of yoyhammer and google searches for the info on CCON. You'll find the info eventually, but I don't know of anyone who sells that model.

>>50263979
Do what I do. Alternate dms. Say, I'll run this one but one of you has to take over next week with your own campaign. Then do the main campaign every other week.

The offshoot runs I encourage to be one shots rather than lasting runs (usually person has never dm'd/not trying to ruin the main campaign/not trying to punish players)

After everyone has dm'd at least one round their overall gameplay improves, since they have more understanding of the process. Also helps keep the main campaign refreshing and prevents burn out.

Best decision I ever made as a dm.

>>50263979
cont.

Anyway, I put a lot of work into the last two games and I am burned out and am having a difficult time thinking up a main quest. The game I am running is a sandbox and the world is free, so whatever the main quest is it'd have to be a big deal that would affect most of the continent. I am sorry for begging like this /tg/, but I really like this group and want to provide them a good game.
I could give some details about the world if you would like, /tg/.
I have an idea, but I don't know how good it is. Basically in the setting you have intelligent animals living in the woods, that mix and mingle with the regular animals. They are spurred on by druids to hate humanity and resist them violently, and were created by druids themselves to fight against human kingdoms that were rising and grew independent from druidic rule, and stopped practicing druidism and worshipped new gods. (this happened many years ago.

A druid that has converted to one of the new religions (losing his powers but keeping his knowledge) is spreading the religion among the animals, and there is currently a holy war being waged in the animal kingdom. If it is not stopped the religious animals will win out and you will have a huge amount of intelligent animals sworn to a god. They will reach out to a religious head of this god, and new churches of the wilds will be established. This will eventually lead to a crusade led by this church against the heretical kingdoms, which will be supported by a huge portion of the animal kingdom.

Druids, pagan kingdoms, and local lords are all interested in putting an end to this. Is this a good main quest, /tg/?

>>50264065
not an option I am afraid. I tried asking this many times and everyone utterly refuses to GM.

Why doesn't GW sell pre-thinned paint? They could sell less actual paint at the same price! Or make a new pre-thinned line that's even more expensive!

>>50263069
I'm gonna need to see your source on that.

No. His kunfu is too strong

Send a pack of dementors after him.

No he's tough he's from prison which is a lot more rough than the Scranton Dunder Mifflin offices
