what do your players want

They said they're alright with anything.

>>50104492
Goofy works for short adventures. It might be hard to sustain for a long mega-dungeon campaign, as players will feel little connection to the wackiness.

On the other hand, a totally serious mega-dungeon might get tedious after a while without a very compelling plot.

I'd alternate it.

What morality is he?

>>50103885
He's true neutral. He doesn't do the right thing because it's the right thing, or because he follows any kind of code: he explicitly does it for fun. The only thing he cares about is finding a challenge, and fighting evil happens to be the best way to find challenging opponents.

A thread died for this.

with regard to your question it largely revolves around the domains of the male gods of the pantheon, this means leadership ability, skill in your chosen profession, and sound wisdom and knowledge. Nothing unusual

Who is this magnificent Oriental? I'm ashamed at never having heard of him.

As for exemplars of masculinity, pic related. Not my setting, but I appreciate the focus on masculinity being centered around confidence.

I actually ran a game of this with some mates of mine when we took a break from DH.

Granted we put it in the modern times, added rules for a few different things (heat seaking missiles, afterburners, etc), and made it a bit more dark.

Was some of the most fun I've ever had. I'd love to play it again.

Actually, I'm just quoting two of the races of a sci-fi novel I recently read. There were also other races, like the sentient giant amoebas that get dumb when they overhwat, or the one that is incapable of irrational emotions.

Google cyberpunk 2020 PDF. It's an awesome fun game with much more style and flavour than Shadowrun. Style over substance all the way!

It's still popular in Poland, Italy and some aging grognards in North America, yes. We have threads about it here all the time.

Not bad, but needs more completeness. Is there an RPG Cyclopedia or something out there?

Adventurers are rootless folk who ignore the natural social hierarchy.
Children might look up to them with starry eyes, but your average peasant sees them as dangerous, a nuisance, and all around troublemakers.
Until they save the village from a dragon, of course.

>>50100829
Basically this.
The average peasant will be bound to his land all his life, never ever getting as far as to see the neighboring village over on the other side of the forest.
Self-proclaimed 'Heroes' who wander from place to place upset the order of things, and they are probably looking to fuck your daughter and steal your money too. Your kids will get weird ideas of 'personal freedom' and 'choice in life' if you let them alone with such hooligans, better just get them to take out that troll fast and encourage them to get moving.

I play DSA (the Dark Eye), which has a very detailed setting so I know exactly how the peasants are going to react to my character.

They are going to scorn him, avoid him, call him names and maybe even try to attack him if he gets to close to their homes. But he won't give a shit, because he is on a mission and he will do it, whatever the cost.

Current rough draft of the Rules, Campaign rules aren't added yet, still working on that section.

If you have suggestions on edits, or questions, just ask.

I'll be posting the updated board soon as well, OP image is the 2nd trash edition of the game.

Updated template for Campaign Games.

Basically this gets groups of players together, similar to D&D settings. The ending results of the game are recorded (Winner, what happened, etc etc), then documented on a Timeline. Each new game progresses the timeline by 100 years.

More details on this later on, working on fleshing out the rules for it.

/tg/s favorite game that doesn't exist lol, nice to see you working
Rules look good, nice and clear. Can we see examples of cards and combat or something? Also Im assuming this isn't final artwork, what style are you going to use for the done version

>>50099883
Bill, killing your players isn't GMing, it's serial murder. Please drop the bottle of lotion and turn yourself in to the police, you will never be a real woman.

>>50099883
The GM's job is to be a host of a game that is of mutual interest.

That reminds me a bit of noumenon in theme

>>50099527
Oh? Don't know it. Does it have a setting or just rules?

>>50099795
Both, basically everyone wakes up as nameless insect people called husks from a caccoon with no memory and explore a surreal world.

tells us your stories in a chronological order, as that would make it easier to understand and easier to read.

>>50099610
I'd go with that, but as you might guess, everything kinda kept happening at the same time, so I'll try to organize it in an order that makes sense.

First, the setting was as follows: the Realm of Riverstar (Which is my translation for "Ondétoile") was a peaceful mearchant Realm between the various Tales' worlds such as Agrabbah, the Fairies Forests, Wonderland, Dreamland, and the Badlands where evil Tales were banished. All was fine until the Tales all suddenly fell asleep, and woke up to find the city had been invaded by two sister races from another world, the Dahem and Eryos, which were nomadic shamanist demonfolks and militaristic high-elves, respectively, and basically they settled their grudges in order to go all "manifest destiny" on our asses. We surrendered, but then it came to light that the artifacts that allowed our people to travel between worlds (such as Dorothy's shoes opening the gates to Oz , for example) had been stolen, and that Fairies and Tales alike were trapped with the Dahem and Eryos, and that's where our story begins.

My sources told me that the Dahem and Eryo's (offscreen) forces had gotten weaker as of late, and that first bit of intel gave me the court's ear. Just like the French after WWII, we acted as if we never lost, and strategically placed our balls on the table. The Eryos kinda wanted to smite our faces, which they could have done since us tales are mostly jacks of all trades, and the Fairies were few in number and mostly twiggy magic user, but I already had made friends with the Dahem matriarchs, which meant their weak alliance with the Eryos became a non-aggression pact, and that if the Eryo broke the truce, Dahems would help us instead. As dumb as the pointy-ears were, they could do basic math, and math say they'd lose, so we got our independance because I managed to have the Dahem believe I knew everything there was to know and would give them good prices on intel.
Which they fucking bought.

>It's where all the black-and-white paint, left-handed screwdrivers, headlight fluid, and all the other snipe hunts are hidden, say other people

Good or bad worldbuilding, /tg/?

>>50099330
Rumor tables for each region, perhaps 12 rumors so you can roll 1d12 on it. Half are accurate, half are false. NPCs typically believe one (or sometimes two) randomly selected rumors from the table, and regardless of the rumor's accuracy will repeat it to the PCs if the NPC wants to help them.

So it goes like
>PC: Hey NPC, I do request and beseech thee, tell me of some quest or adventure upon which I might test my bravery. Especially these beastman attacks which seem to be the main storyline.
>[roll for NPC disposition -> good enough]
>[roll for rumors -> (false) elf wizard-lord plots against the empire]
>NPC: It is whispered that the beastmen are minions of an elven wizard-lord, whose loved ones died in the chaos while the empire conquered this region
>PC: Great! I will now attempt to predict the plot based on this faulty info I got from a random drunk in a bar! Time to waste all my money giving my weapon a +1 against elves!

Considering that "murder" is a legal term, she is legally correct.

>>50098057
>>50098019
Depends entirely on how your legal system defines 'person' or 'people'.

>>50098019
Depends on what she understand under people. I hope she displays the same attitude towards any other non-human race, or else she's just a completely biased elf-hater.
