The catacombs.

>>50048508
Except that's hardly the case, and one might argue that was even the point of the story, to show that the Parasytes are not the cold robotic murdermachines that they keep claiming they are. Migi started to develop a conscience and human emotions as he spent time with Shinichi, and Tamura develops them all on her own as she kept taking care of her host body's baby. Hell, even Gotou feels pride in his abilities and will eagerly compliment anyone he feels is impressive. They're more than capable of developing emotions if in the right situation, and spending ten years with someone hunting down other parasytes and learning about each other will tend to do that.

Then they're shoved into a metallic, alien form. That's going to get a reaction of uncomfortable uncertainty at the minimum, but with creatures that learned emotions? Yeah.

Happy Halloween, everyone!

So I have a bit of a confession to make. Way back in Summer, I got bored and started working on a CYOA full of all my weird ideas, which made me think of this place again. I managed to pick up the desire to make one of these all over again, and so I got a friend of mine (the same one that introduced me to these, in fact) to make a few claims for me. I wanted to come back with a surprise of at least five jumps or so to throw down out of nowhere. It was going to be this big thing.

Then my computer died. When I finally got my computer fixed, I told him to put it off until October. Surely I'd have my CYOA and some jumps done by that time. Then my mood tanked for some reason, and here I am on Halloween without even one done. But my guilt has built up by now that I feel like I need to post, if only to maybe get me to get me to focus on what I should do.

I don't plan on being an active presence. I'm still sort've soured on it, however, I am making things just because I enjoy making them, for both threads. So for the sake of my friend and for anyone waiting on these properties, I had claims and have WIPs of all the below:

Donkey Kong
My Life as a Teenage Robot
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy V
Solatorobo
Pathfinder

I also tentatively plan to do these in the future:

Tales of the World: RM - Yes, from my old WIP. I heard someone picked up Boktai, but not this.
Suikoden V
Princess Maker
Dragon Quest 9 - I also want to do 5 and 8, but make no claims.
Phantasy Star Universe
Tales of the Abyss - Can and will do other Tales in the future, I even have an outline for a Xillia jump sitting around.
Steambot Chronicles/Bumpy Trot
Vampire: Dark Ages
Werewolf the Apocalypse
Kid Icarus
Seventh Cross
Rune Factory

And I mean it when I say all of these have WIPs. Making outlines is easy, the part I had motivation problems on was the actual fluff.

It's only appropriate for the dead to rise on Halloween.

Don't make it Hitler.

It's not, I was just thinking of an average joe who got thrown into a shit situation.

>>50048152
That's good. What sort of job did the average joe have when he was on Earth? It might be good to define that and what sort of thoughts he has about the general way our society carries on. If he's nihilistic and disenfranchised by our society, then he might be trying to shape the new fantasy society into an ideal that he clings to. If he liked our society and the way it works, then he might be trying to make the new world into our image. Either way, he could impress enough people with what he knows to get himself into power and then he's becomes abusive with the power that he gets and tries to force his ideal on everyone.

He'd be the worst rules lawyer imaginable. But all with unfamiliar house rules not in-book ones.

He wouldn't tell you, he'd just off your character.

>Rocks fall, you die
>What why?
>What's your shirt made of?
>Uh, 50% cotton and 50% polyester
>Exactly

Fuck no. He'd want you to follow every single rule to the letter, and do everything he said to the point where you might as well be reading off a script. And if you didn't, he'd murder you and your entire family. Like, there are lots of reasons the Abrahamic god gets criticized, "Being an enormous asshole" is one of the most prominent.

>>50048249
As for Jesus, he probably be better. Though I imagine he's act like a Lawful Stupid Paladin god of some sort, harshly punishing players if they ever do anything that isn't the most lawful and good option available. Same thing for having any amount of wealth that keeps your character from being a dirt-poor hobo.

Don't it's broken as shit and even worse than Exalted 2e by miles which is saying something. Take the basic premise and port it over to a supers system of your choice and you'll have a much better experience.

>>50048052
Any opinion on that 2e version that's coming out next year?

The company pulled a shit move by making you buy two books of you want to run a Hero campaign.

Drawn. It's single edged, and pretty thick at the spine. Seems to have almost no flex to it at all.

I guess this is technically a /k/ question, but I figured there were more sword nuts here. /k/ looks more about guns and gubbins.

Detail of the hilt and scabbard decoration.

>>50047902
>>50047871
can we have a picture next to a ruler, a closeup of the hilt, as well as the tip of the sheath?

How about one in which mankind advanced and reproduced so well that they became by far the most dominant race on the planet (as opposed to the Elves, Orcs, Dwarves etc). They advanced technology rapidly and pushed fantasy races into hiding places.

Then they became too big for their breeches and started to oppose the gods so the gods smote them, allowing the fantasy races to come out of hiding and start claiming territory again. However there are still some remaining human labs and stuff with the advanced tech the humans made (which seem like really advanced magic to the fantasy races).

In Gamma-World, True Humans are very much the lost ancient race, and all the "may as well be super-magic" arcanotech that's lying around the world is keyed to only work for True Humans.

guys, I'm sending a level ten wizard into a dungeon alone with the goal of sneaking past traps and setting up my own for a final confrontation against an evil party that will be coming in after me. I have an amulet of detect traps, but what spells will help me get through without using too many spell slots?

I'm svaing my level 4 spells for enervation, and one cast of greater invisibility. Knocking the entire party down 2 levels on average will make the fight much easier.

Everything PF is allowed. Everything. I have been asked not to go overboard on wands and scrolls, though.

Greatly heightened telekinesis, hovering.

It's too busy being channeled into the EW rule.

Poker is something understood through practice, and the parts that aren't are luck-based. Not much you can do regarding poker on a Taiwanese Aglet-fixing forum.

Games that have existed a long time may not be solved, strictly speaking, but have a mostly stagnant meta.

>>50045560
The "meta" is balanced though.

I like euchre. Played it a lot in high school but don't really have anyone to play it with anymore.

The footsteps retreated, and in short order his voice echoed back to me, pleading.
“It’s been eight years,” he cried, “We didn’t know what else to do! They told us-“
His voice was cut off by the sharp crack of a bolter. Though I didn’t see, I think some small part of me knew, and that was enough to make me break my silence, to sob my despair.
Another set of footsteps approached, heavier, pacing around the bed before stopping dead in front of me. They were metal, prosthetics, which extended up as far as his knees.
He knelt, dipping his head below the frame of the bed to look me over with a merciless expression. He was bald, his angular face marked with scars and his eyes devoid of pupils.

“Drag her out.” He ordered curtly.
Another who I hadn’t noticed knelt and grabbed me savagely, yanking me from my hiding place. I squeezed my eyes shut, my grip tightening around my pendant as a tube of hot metal pressed against my forehead.
“Wait,” I heard the bald man say, and the gun was removed from my forehead, “What is she holding?”
I opened my eyes to see him studying me with curiosity.

>>50045488
I looked down at the pendant, my hand shaking as I slowly uncurled my fingers from around it.
He took the bloodied two-headed bird from my grasp and held it up.
“Do you know what this is?” He asked me.
“The two-headed eagle.” I told him, my voice strangely devoid of emotion despite my state.
“How did this come to your possession?”
“It was Mama’s,” I replied honestly, his expression softened, and I continued speaking, “She gave it to me, she said that what the horned men tell us is a lie, but the two-headed eagle is the truth. I wasn’t supposed to wear it, but-“

“It’s okay,” he cut in with a gentle tone, “It’s called an Aquila, and you have proven your faith to it. Your mother was a wise woman.”
“Can I see her?” I asked, “Can I see my parents?”
I detected a hint of regret in his eyes when he spoke his next words, “They are resting now, but a Priest is going to take them to the Aquila very soon. You’ll see them again, eventually.”
He stood and spoke to the second man, clad in black and red with a helmet resembling a skull. He thought of death and little more.
“Mach, take her to my ship, have her faith tested, and if she passes the trials, bring her to my office.”

I do not remember much else of that night. The things I saw on the way to the shuttle and the pain of the purity trials make the whole experience blurred, like trying to peer through misted glass.
I was born into a world controlled by Chaos, yet by a random act of faith, a memory of a time before, I had been granted a chance to live a more noble life, a life in service to the Emperor's most holy inquisition.

Your writing seems technically fine, but your story is hard to judge from just what you've got here.
Maybe post some more and more people will have feedback.

>30 types
Why?

You have too many types of weapons there

>>50044388
What in the name of fuck?
Big groups are thrown (knives, maces, javelins), bows (various types), crossbows (various power and reload mechanisms), early firearms (and bombs).
For fantasy, add alchemical thrown/ammunition to the mix and you're set for anything.

Whichever you think. I'm personally a fan of the "good guy" chapters like the Lamenters or Salamanders, because I respect the endurance it takes to uphold goodness in a setting like 40k.

>>50043758
Clearly the Silver Skulls. Gold is obviously the coolest color in the setting as shown by the Emperor but no chapters have a good color scheme. Therefore the Silver Skulls are the best since Silver is one step below gold.
