You have a setting. What kind of story are you trying to tell? Is it somehow unique to the setting? What themes, identities, relationships, and conflicts does the setting allow you to explore that a more conventional setting might not?

YAWN

Fuck off, /lit/. Sometimes it's fine just to have something for the sake of it being cool.

I wonder if that torso and those legs are compatible with regular Contemptors.

Banish them to the western lands

I ask the king exactly how he wants them dealt with, and what is his endgame.

I need some clarification before taking action.

Why's the king give a shit as long as they're paying taxes?

by finding a way to make their autism benefit the whole experience.

By not inviting them.

The socially inept sped type or the actual disease? One answer: kick them out.

I've been playing Godbound now for a few months and it's been a blast.

It's mechanics for minute to minute action are dynamic, allowing for player creativity with the Miracle/Effort system.

When it comes to downtime, the game has a Faction System that works similarly to other Sine Nomine games, Faction's have Features, Problems, Interests, Power.

In other Sine Nomine Games, players never really had a means of easily affecting entire factions, but in God Bound that goes right out the window.

So what kind of Godbound have you guys made? What kind of divine shenanigans has your pantheon gotten into?
What kind of abominations have you made using Dominion?

Divine Bump

>>50151542
A friend of mine introduced me to the game and the second I looked through the options I started to get ideas. Like for example our big god for the setting is an earth goddess who after a huge battle with the living manifestation of time went into a coma. So slowly her dreams became living things and her god husband god of artifice would shape these beings into what he felt she meant to create. So we have gugs who couldn't quite be forced into being a less nightmare look so they've kept they're strong connection to the goddess and they'd often act according to what kind of dreams the comatose goddess would have.

>I honestly just want to use my bombin' Jamaican accent for all the NPCs
to be honest using 'this thing seems kind of cool' as the basis for a campaign tends to lead to campaigns which die really quickly

Zombies. Lots and lots of zombies. Jamaica is one of those places where a lot of stuff got mashed together and we ended up with Voodoo. Works better in games without a lot of magic, because in most high-magic games, zombies are a fucking joke.

Disease. Emphasize that if they are white they will probably die. The Caribbean is a nice place nowadays, relatively speaking, but once upon a time it was where you sent people you hated because you wanted to give them a post that would probably kill them. Works better in a game without modern medicine obviously.

Crime and grinding poverty. Ten years ago, the per capita murder rate was damn near 6 per 100,000. That means that about 1 in 20k people in Jamaica got murdered. Also, other crimes, such as drug trafficking and sexual assault, and the overall police corruption and ineffectiveness that lets this state of affairs continue. Obviously these are modern numbers, not sure how this would work for historical games set in, say, age of piracy.

Plantations. In a modern game, they're old, abandoned, and spooky. In a more historical game, they're a breeding ground of disease and slave resentment.

Rough terrain. The mountains are lush and beautiful. Tracking a spy/escaped inmate/runaway slave through that sure would suck, wouldn't it.

Only if you aren't a psycho or as >>50150370 said an US soldier

>>50150345
You should feel bad but not guilty.
Kids died and that was your fault, but you had no way to know and everyone trying to guilt you with that is an asshole.

Make it a learning experience for your character and have your rogue scout the place more/avoid big AoE if you don't know about what collateral damage you may cause.

Living things tend to be too delicate and/or high-maintenance for the type of person who would be decked out in magic gear from head to toe.
And if you add more magic to make them indestructible, you'll create the next Tarrasque.

Nephilims, that 3c cycle from FRF, the big creatures 3c cycle from Alara; basically a lot of stuff.

I'd really like to try and play Ambassador if my group didn't had people that minmaxed sometimes. I fear they would play the most unfun things they could.

U guys got any?

>last thread

You can't bother to update? You don't want to make it understood that the last two threads didn't have twenty posts between them, that there was no thread for 23 hours, and that no new content has been made in days?

Let it go peacefully.

>>50144129
Neah, it has a home here. And it'll always be a home to a select few of us.

>>50145247
Yes, it's important that our containment thread exists, lest we spread our autism to other parts of the board.

Are there any guides or at least good examples of how to make shapeless swirly magic magickness / energy swirls?

>how to make shapeless swirly magic magickness / energy swirls?
Well. Not sure what you mean.
But you can get all sorts of elementals as miniatures or markers for spell effects for different games.

As for making stuff yourself, anything goes. I guess you could start with a wire armature and some hot glue for blobby stuff and roll out some putty and arrange it somehow while it dries.
Milliput might be good for stuff like this since it dries rock hard.
Look up some tutorials on sculpting fire.

>>50143622
yeah, that's similar to what I meant. something like Nagash's base ghosts, just without faces. swirly stuff.
