Basic gist is that its a fast sexier version of Rapture with more enemies and weird 1960s future stuff. Splicers begin wrecking shit even after the death of Ryan so Fontaine begins commissioning a new Adam based formula to avert the effects of splicing. The product works as intended with a few side effects, Children born of splicers inherit those same defects in a FAS inspired way. Those who stop taking their meds begin mutating faster.

New companies and areas are expanded, such as Caracas Automotion that begins building robot servants, security and maintenance. Another company idea is a think tank of biogeneticists that use adam to splice the perfect children and animals.

They do and they don't, It depends on what lore you read.

In theory they are suppose to work like a plasma weapon.

Starcraft was inspired by RT and 2e era 40k. 40k has changed a lot since then, making the comparisons a lot less obvious than they used to be.

But the two are not directly related in any way.

>>50129882
starcraft was originally suppose to be a warhammer game, but GW pulled the license, so blizzard had to change the game a bit before releasing it as starcraft.

>>50129912
This is mostly correct but both StarCraft and 40k also drew heavily on similar source material - StarCraft isn't necessarily dependent on 40k for inspiration, but that both owe a lot to Aliens and Starship Troopers.

Lex Luthor COULD try to punch Superman to death, but it will most likely end with him in prison, whether he succeeds or not.

Don't fuck with this senator

Because if people know he's strong they won't understatement him.
Also, depending on the setting people might just want to fight him more.

>guns and technology should never exist in high magic settings
Only because you're an uneducated tard who doesn't realize that firearms are actually synonymous with plate armor.

>>50125019
Good news, because the setting's overarching villain plans to fix that unintentionally, as a consequence of her plans.
I was going to say she hates wizards, but then I realized she sort of hates anyone who uses or has used magic without her permission, which is a LOT of people.
Generally, though, when important people are killed, their enemies take extreme pains to keep them dead.

>>50125019
Thing is, the materials for resurrection should actually be rather rare. How common do you expect 500 gold diamonds to be? They're probably pretty sizable and hard to find.

Besides, the real best solution is to send them on a quest to revive their ally instead. Make it so the materials are hard to come by, or require things specific to their past or motives to draw them back.

There's a lot of interesting stuff you can do with it besides just having it be a flat fee.

I treat it kind of like a lazurus pit: sure, you come back, but death will always keep a peice. Somthing will be different everytime you come back. Detriment can be anything from roleplay stuff to a complete loss of a feat, ect. I don't like resurrection either and if a player wants to spam a reset button all day, he's gotta work for it. Taking a soul away from the gods is a great permission or a great insult. GM accordingly.

If all shitposters, who post "magical realm" threads, "excuse me" threads, "elf slave wat do" threads and "boy do I hate women" threads would suddenly drop dead, the world would lose absolutely nothing.

95% of /tg/ would cease to exist then, though.

how big's the tele

What kind of sea monsters do fishermen have to watch out for?

>>50115709
There is none, its standard not-Europe medieval fantasy. However, there are a bunch of other forms of entertainment, music, theater, and storytelling are the most common, with the occasional circus, fighting competition and even the occasional magic performance.

>>50115716
The 'big bad' monsters very rarely come close enough to land to be an issue, though there is at least one recorded instance of a large Kraken-like monster attacking a small fishing village that's independent from the rest of the Empire. Otherwise, fishermen and sailors that venture further into the ocean are more likely to be attacked by pirates than monsters, though the occasional tall tale of a crew of sailors driving off a school of mermen, a giant octopus or a sea serpent.

Is this normal? Was this how metal really was? Luckily he was bald enough to green stuff hair.

>>50113353
speaking of the made to order stuff, now that its all sold out are they going to make other stuff? whats the deal?

So, these orders have started coming in I guess?

Nearly all goverment made ships are unreliable piles of shit, and any ship that has been owned and operated privately, by a family or a group of individuals would be in no way similar to another. Each ship would be customised and unique

I know there are many, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone was dedicated enough to list them all. This is RPGs and the internet after all.

Not that I'm aware of, but I can give you a rundown on the ones I'm more or less familiar with:

BFRPG has attack bonus and ascending AC. It also separates race and class, and includes a sensible solution to AD&D multiclassing, allowing you to preserve the elf fighter/magic-user combo if desired. Races get a +1 to a particular ability score modifier, meaning a dwarf with 18 Constitution can have a +4 bonus rather than +3. It's all free and there's some neat rules expansions for it (also free) which include more races, more classes, expanded magic, etc. It's not a particularly slick presentation, but the bones are there for you to hang the meat onto.

Lamentations of the Flame Princess has a much slicker presentation (though some people have an issue with the art for being, in a word, gross). The skill system is superior to the Roll Under systems like secondary skills, and there's just enough skills to make it meaningful without dumping a ton of shit onto the character sheet. It has Race as Class, however. LotFP uses attack bonus and ascending AC. Fighters are the only class that continues to increase their attack bonus as they level, making them a great deal more powerful. Clerics don't have Turn Undead as a class feature - it's a spell here. LotFP also has a really good encumbrance system. Finally, the firearms appendix is great, and for me, it's one of my favorite things because my own homebrew setting is inspired partly on Le Pactes de Loups. However, despite the art and the tone of the writing, the rules themselves are no more weird than any other B/X clone. Summon Monster is a standout, but aside from that it's fairly normal D&D with a few houserules.

Labyrinth Lord (which I'm much less familiar with) has descending AC and (I'm assuming because I can't find it in the book) THAC0. All three, BFRPG, LL, and LotFP use the 5 saving throws.

Been lurking osrg for a few months now.
People in these threads aren't nearly as awful as 4chan's reputation would have you believe.

What gives?
How did this oasis happen in the middle of such a desolate wasteland of shittiness?

>>50134892
Do not fall for temptation of your own adventure right out of the bat. Play it safe. DM Curse of Strahd and Storm King's Thunder a couple of times. Take notes of how they are structured and what makes them work.

>>50134892
If you really, really want some in depth advice that goes a lot deeper than the ProJared vids, I would highly recommend DawnForgeCast.

>>50134892
Dungeon World is better reserved for when you've played a bit and accumulated a bit of D&D tropes. Not diving into specifics, it's a fun enough game but relies in improvising right off the bat, both from you and players.

Anyway, my advice would be this: remember you're in control but don't restrict players. They can and will surprise you a lot. You'll have to improvise at some point. Don't be afraid of them going off the path you've envisioned, embrace it.

Also it's perfectly okay to say no if the player does something that totally doesn't make sense to you. Group creativity is the best thing, but it's not about shitting all over your vision of the game, you're the one who'll be putting in the most work.

5e Starter Set is actually really good for new GMs and players, a satisfying guidance / freedom ratio. Go with that.

The most concise and valuable advice I can think of is here: hackslashmaster blgspt com/2012/11/on-guide-for-new-dungeon-masters.html

For more detailed advice later check out The Angry GM but he has long-ass articles and I think you'll benefit from reading any of that after running something.

I like it. Don't have much more to say right now. Go for it

>>50133988
You were so close, but didn't hit the mark. You should base your magic around Major Arcanas instead. The Star, the Magician, the Chariot, the Hermit, the World and the like.

>>50134097
Why not both?
>The Minor Arcana
The weaker style of magic, what it lacks in strength it makes up for in versatility. Each governs an element as well as some other aspect. Practitioners are able to create sudden changes, movement, break down or conjure up their domain, but no lesser magic is permanent.
Wands: Fire, images
Pentacles: Earth, living things
Cups: Water, emotions
Swords: Air, memory

>The Major Arcana
The work of the divine powers, each card in the Major Arcana represents the fates of the card, and can serve as a connection to the power granting it. The sole exception is The Fool, which seems to be bound to no deity, and none can say where its power comes from. A card can be invoked generally, but it is most powerful when invoked for its Summa, a world-shaking spell that is bound to the nature of the card and the deity behind it.
