>Is the defense for the rich really that far off from wanting monarchy?
I'd say yes. Were he French or German I wouldn't bat an eye, since both countries have a strong history with monarchism. But America is a country founded on republicanism.
>>50149204
Eh. Modern monarchists are generally more social conservatives than libertarians, at least in Europe. Neo-feudalists are nutjobs, even more than ancaps.
>>50149092
I have posted a couple of bloodlines in these threads before: the Sternberg and VtR Samedi. I'm working on a few others.

>>50149269
America is founded on a lot of things that modern Republicans tend to forget, like Religious freedom. A lot of the Neo-Monarchist crowd are pretty Libertarian, from what I've seen (which admittedly isn't much). Plus there's the people who want a transhumanist techno-libertarian world run by a Godlike machine like Roko's Basilisk.

>>50149092
I've made a *lot* of homebrew beyond the Vicissitude one. I'm not sure whether I should link my catgirls or the magical girls, though. There's also the Whipping Boys, though I need a capstone power for them. Nothing feels suitable for a fifth Attainment.

I should probably try my hand at a Lodge, or Entitlement. Or more Bloodlines. I still love Bloodlines the most.

I should remake these from scratch. I could do the Bloodline Bane better

Hello, Aspel.

Being boring means that they can be dropped into any situation the writers want. Interesting people have interaction with their environments that make them harder to move outside of them. Not impossible, but this is the easy way to do things.

>>50148798
>Why do they keep introducing all these interesting, fun, interesting and diverse planeswalkers; but as soon as their expansion is over they get swept under the rug and the boring, milquetoast, bland, one-dimensional ones hog the spotlight again?
Overexposure to any character will make them bland. While I agree that every character outside the main 5 should get more cards printed, the correct way to do this is not to just print shitloads of them. Sorin, for example, didn't need a card in KTK. Overprint any character, and ypeople will get sick of them.
The main 5 are also monocolor, meaning they can fit in more decks in any standard environment. One-off characters tend to be multicolor, and so they're more specialized and their design space is more limited.

>It's specially frequent with the female ones.
No it isn't.

The Void Drinker, a god of the icy void between stars.

It is the driving force behind Expansion and is trying to force the universe towards complete heat death.

Sacrifices are made to it by throwing sentient creatures out of airlocks into the icy blackness of deep space.

His followers are a doomsday cult drawn from all species, they have fallen into despair and want the universe to end.

>>50166277
God Of Stars*

You could also give it many faces to represent the lifecycles of stars. Makes sense for it to be the God of Death as well, since, you know, black holes.

From what I've seen, male and female Tau look pretty similar anyway. I assume Ethereals don't just pop out of the ground, and that there are females.

>>50166141
I would imagine their would be. I don't think they would look altogether different from their male counterparts. Probably slimmer and slighter of features, but the hair and clothes would be the same.

>>50166260
Yeah, that was my assumption too. I was more looking for inspiration for her outfit more than the face itself.

Hence a need for a female ethereal rather than just basing it off, say, Shadowsun.

This is how you antipaladin
>What lies in his soul is Damnation and Destruction.

>>50166440
What would be a good name for an anti-paladin class that's sort of its own word? As opposed to something like "Blackguard".

Paladin comes from "of the palace" or some such. I tried make a faux-french word using "ruin" as the base, but nothing was as solid sounding as paladin.

>>50165466
Have a mechanic where your players figure out how to eat soul energy themselves, particularly off of the Horror itself. As it grows weaker they get stronger.

Or alternatively get them to find half a an army's worth of munitions to unload on it. Just the effort of getting that much firepower would be an interesting idea.

summon another Eldritch abomination and have them kill each other.

or

"We need to open a portal to get it in another dimension to cut it off from its powers and make it vulnerable for murder death kill. go to these X number of sites on the magical leylines and do the ritual to ready the fuck hueg magic circle"

>>50165466
I think finding some way to starve it would be an interesting solution. Cause some change to either it or to humanity itself so that it can no longer gain nourishment from our souls. Like, sprinkle us with spiritual poison, or stab it in the gut. Then when it's weakened keep harassing it so that it's constantly having to use up energy, and without a way to replenish its reserves it eventually can be cornered and killed.

an AK-47 that fires off tiny fetuses that grow to full size whenever embedded within an object

>>50164238
That's hilarious and awesome, but what about in a generic fantasy setting?

>>50164271
I remember this from an old magic item thread but "arrows" that are coiled up roses who bloom and expand when they come into contact with blood (after being shot into some poor fool)

First for first

Second for the Black Templars

ZEAL

FIRE

BLOOD

Third for the Armageddon Steel Legion.

Probably fields useful regiments!

It's sad

>>50161480
I thought about this myself. I'm a recluse that likes his fantasy games and novels as much as the next neck beard. I mean, if I just run constant combat encounters or play by modules, then I should be able to do it?

>>50161480
If you want a singleplayer RPG play a videogame.

Without other players Tabletop RPG's are just maths.

The biggest problem with Greyhawk is how when TSR published the setting, they basically stripped out all the interesting bits and all the cool history, and then there wasn't much left, so a lot of people think Greyhawk is kind of bland.

>>50161608
Like what interesting bits? The boxed sets and even the Greyhawk City boxed set had lots of details. It just seems bland because the explosion of fantasy in the 1990s generated massive amounts of exotic material, new worlds and combinations of genres and stuff that made Greyhawk look pedestrian in comparison.

When did you realise reducing melee combat to dice rolls and number calculations removes all of the exciting aspects of it, and thus cannot work properly if you allow people to use it in tabletop games or video games?

It's difficult to quantify how much more effective the blood of a virgin on her wedding night will be in a spell versus the blood of an old man who lived a full life with no regrets.

>>50160644
Well its an interesting base but you have to work out the logistics of it.
What happens when the mimic takes physical form.

>>50160692
that's why I posted that here. 'cos I have no idea.

does it even take physical form?
