>Are they afraid their third rate plots might get blown apart by a knowledgeable character?

Actually, yes. It's a very obvious sign of a mid-level GM trying to become a high-tier GM, understanding the necessity of dripfeeding setting information but totally botching the execution and ending up deathly afraid of giving away anything at all for fear of 'Ruining the pacing'.

I'd suggest just working with them and making some suggestions that your character might be able to extrapolate or compare to something else in the setting which is a little bit similar.

>>50202027
That's dumb. Unless it literally is something bizarre and new, an intelligent character should be able to at least theorize about it and note similarities among the basic laws of physics and magic.

Is the cute animal girl happy because she cast the spell right or does she just really love open flames surrounded by flammable material?

I honestly surprised we don't have proper female space marine, female orks, the Emperor turning into a black man, and other horrible lore raping things.

Maybe something about zoophilia?

There are already magna melta flyers and tanks. A titan sized melta would probably just be a Shadowsword turret swap.

>>50218502
Baneblade variants that have a fixed titan weapon as a main gun tend to use the Warhound versions. Shadowsword's Volcano cannon is notably weaker than the one on the Reaver. If i wanted to make a melta superheavy, i would probably use the Reaver's Melta profile with shorter range and blast radius. 64" range and 7' blast look about right.

Also, if you don glue the melta cannon's casing on, it should be large enought to be mounted on a Shadowsord.

Pedophilia AND bestiality? For shame.

>>50214996
I mean Magic/Psionics are canon in Fallout.

Iirc in Fallout 1/2 there is someone who can mind control animals and clairvoyance.
Fallout 3 has the black book/Dunwich building thing.
Fallout 4 has Mama Murphy and the crazy cult and their magic sacrifice knife.

So non flashy magic like unnatural persuasion skills or rituals to curse people could fit the setting but lobbing fireballs or flying not so much.

Have you thought about another Kirby?

Bumping with a story.

>Once upon a time there was an American named Mr. Bay, who was obsessed with eastern Asian culture. He had spent two years in college studying Chinese and even took a semester abroad to tour around the various Buddhist monasteries and Shaolin temples of China. When he came back, he felt so enlightened by his experience, that he decided to incorporate many Chinese customs into his life. Mr. Bay grew out his hair and styled it like the gentlemen of the Tang Dynasty, he drank tea every morning and every evening. He learned to cook using bitter roots and dandelion leaves. He even devoted his life to the teaching of Lao Zi and decide to be trained in the secret art of Kung Fu.

>There was a dojo nearby to where he lived in the city, so he brought a gift for his soon to be master, as appropriate per tradition and went to ask for a master. It was a beautiful porcelain teapot he obtained during his travels, and had once belonged to a traveling poet who loved his tea as much as he loved his swordplay - a fitting gift for a Kung Fu master. He waited a whole day before the dojo's thick, oaken gates opened to let him in, Mr. Bay inquired about a Kung Fu Master, but the dojo, as it turned out, only accepted students of Chinese descent, so he was swiftly rejected and sent home.

>However, Mr. Bay did not plan to give up. A week later, he fashioned another gift for his soon to be master - a gold bound scroll he had won in an auction, worth thirty thousand yuan, and said to contain the original manuscript of a decree written by a WuLin master of the Ming Dynasty - a fitting gift for display at an authentic dojo. He waited outside the door for three days and three night, until a senior disciple of the dojo took pity on Mr. Bay and took him to his master. The master heard Mr. Bay's tale but insisted that tradition must be followed, and the dojo will not take in a foreigner. Mr. Bay was taken to be cleaned up and sent home.

>Yet the determined Mr. Bay swore not to give up until he learns at least one move from the master, so he took out his most precious treasure, a sword that once belonged to a legendary swordsman, rumored to have trapped one thousand demons within his blade and casted a powerful seal upon it, so his desendents would not be so foolish and release the vile host by drawing the vicious edge. He wrapped it in his finest silk, careful as not to damage the scabbard nor accidentally draw the blade, and walked to the dojo barefoot to express his humility. He waited seven days, through strange glares and pouring rain, before finally, the master himself opened the gates and invited him inside.

>At first the dojo only took him in so he would not starve and die, but the masters soon saw that Mr. Bay had more conviction than many of their students. He was allowed then to practice with the rest, temporarily at first, but eventually became a full fledged student and many of the masters' favorite. His progress was fast, eventually he became decent at the kicks and punches, and within a few years he had surpassed even the most senior student at the dojo. The masters no longer regarded him as a stubborn outsider, but as their equal. In fact, the dojo where he was taught had no more to teach, so they gave him the most honorable title a dojo was capable of giving - the title of Kung Fu Master itself.

>Mr. Bay, with his certificate in hand and a sense of accomplishment in his chest, headed to the DMV. He had done it. He had been fully accepted into the culture he admired so much and worked so hard for it. Now there is only one thing left on his mind that he wanted to do. He was going to change his name.

>When he reached the end of the DMV line, the clerk asked what he want to do.

>"I'd like to change my name legally please."

>The clerk handed him a form to fill out. At the top of the form, a box asked Mr. Bay to indicate the preferred title he would like on record: Mister, Miss, Missus, or Doctor. He went up to the clerk.

>"Hi, the title I would like is not written here."

>"Well what title did you want?" The clerk asked.

>"I'd like to be addressed as Master. You see I recently became a master of Kung Fu, and I was even certified." Mr. Bay said, waving his newly earned certificate.

>"All right, just jot it down in that empty space there." said the clerk, clearly rolling her eyes.

>Mr. Bay did not care, a core virtue of Kung Fu is the willingness to forgive others, however insolent they may be. He smiled at the clerk and went back to his seat. A million names now raced through his head, what kind of Chinese name did he want to take? There are so many choices, so many characters each with so many powerful meanings. Eventually he decided. "Shen, I'm going to be called Shen." He went to fill out the rest of the form, then stood up, and went to the clerk.

>"Excuse me, I'd like to make one final request on this form." Said Mr. Bay.

>The clerk saw it was him, and asked, clearly agitated, "Why, what kind of change do you want now?"

>Mr. Bay said delightedly, " Well you see, the good people of China are a noble and selfless bunch. For them, it is an unspoken honor to bear the name of the clan, and to put the family before themselves."

>"What's your point?" asked the clerk, confused.

Tell us something about its features and about what you want out of it, and ask more specific questions.

>>50209836
It looks like an overcomplicated d20 fantasy heartbreaker. I don't see anything super spectacular about it, and it definitely doesn't seem to be the kind of game to support mouse traps.

I will bump more in exchange for more Nazrin.

>>50209377
In my current campaign, I am playing a separatist cleric of Nethys. I am in the process of hiring a literal boatload of halfling slaves that my party rescued to build my super secret headquarters for a cult I plan on starting in the near future.

Since the symbol of Nethys is a black-and-white mask, my cult and doctrine follow the aspect of being two-faced and deceitful. In order to appease the god, we will steal and trick people out of their valuable magical items and hoard them in an Indiana Jones-type warehouse vault underneath my HQ.

>>50209415
The cult of man is the belief all Gods arenordinary men with extraordinary power, and that they must be replaced. It is led by a man who killed the Goddess of Love and took her power. They hate idol worship and want to attribute their deeds to the whole of mankind, so they wear masks to remove their identity from what they do. They join jn the middle of the night and being no lights, navigating the darkness with their eyes closed. They donate blood for it to be refined into one of several things: "Dreg water," a pitch black oil that flares the emotions of those nearbor in contact with, "Blood metal," a very scarce material made from the minerals in human blood and make the holdernof these materials more passionate, and "Numbmind," a gas which clouds your senses in order to sustain damage and go against fear. Cults are led primarily to recruit, perform good godless acts, and disestablish the church and its good deeds. They are to be killed on sight.

>>50209331
Allows them to see through walls for one hour after putting it on. Can't be removed until it's been worn for one full day.

Let's them "see" the fastest path out of wherever they are. It's not always the safest however

Disguises them to one person as whoever they desire. Disguises them as a monster to everyone else

Speaks for them with incredible wit and charisma, yet visually they will be horrifying. Can switch these (beautiful yet offensive whenever they speak)

Add time constraints, it latches on for x hours/a day, so that they have to deal with the negative consequences

>>50209331
Why not just make it work like the Grey Fox's mask from oblivion

>>50205444
Nah. It would feel as if the GM is directly shitting on the players when a minor god like that is bribed to work against the PCs.

My setting is based on gnostic beliefs and all the angels/demons/fallen/saints are functionally minor gods that a very well equipped and optimized party might be able to take on.
