Lets go with the L5R character for a campaign that recently ended.
Trapped in a loveless political marriage, and stuck with the party due to circumstances outside of their control.
They would probably wish for a confidant.

Too see justice done is it's own reward!

But, if you must grant me a request, then how about a smile? After all, you look so dour, and that's no way for a pretty lady such as yourself to be!

>Brown woman has a fair-skinned redhead daughter

This isn't how it works, and I thought a progressive company like WotC would recognize this.

Are the Psychic Warriors and Infusions playtests even still going on?

They act friendly even before I show them I have money.

Avowed fucking WHEN, Forrest? I want my warlock!

How do you get people to want to play this game?

I cant get my friends interested, there only experience is 3.5 and 3.PF shit.

also I'm the anon from the other thread with the packing up board game / Dark souls one shot.

>>49761120
You don't start a general for a game that's so rarely even mentioned on this board, you /v/ reject.

Generals are for big games that are so popoular that they have dozens of threads about them every day, so it's easier to group them all into one General thread.

Fuck you, we need a way to find the others. We tiny few need a beacon to travel towards.

>I can post the whole thing if there's interest.
May as well. Sounds edgy as fuck but I actually don't mind the layout design. I get tired of the faux parchment background a lot of products do, but this has some nice accents.

because if it's abstracted too much it's practically useless, or has no mechanical benefit. if it's structured with too many rules it becomes cumbersome and bloated. striking the correct middle ground would basically require an entire system to make grappling functional and cool, but most systems aren't built from grappling upward, so you get one of the first two results.

The fuck, how did I not see this thread in the catalog before I made my grappling thread:

>All of creation suffers, young ones. Only in accepting our own mortality can we make a difference. Only in bearing the burden of our failures can we find the strength to go on. Only in detachment from glory, or honour, or jealousy... from life itself can we hope to spare others from grief

Do their battle cries consist of Linkin Park lyrics?

>>49771155
Reminder that extensive worldbuilding is an exercise in masturbation, especially if you do it before you even start running a game or writing a book or whatever the fuck you're doing with it. Your players don't give a shit about your deep lore because it's not about them and doesn't fucking matter to the events happening right now.
>But it's fuuuuuuun!
So is masturbation, but most people do not appreciate a pretentious idiot wanking off in their faces.

>his players don't eagerly await his next setting primer

You should maybe get better at writing.

>>49771155
I write up setting primers, but most of the detail is actually for my own benefit, not the player's. It allows me to be consistent with the world I present to players by having a reference.

I provide them to players in case they want to use it, but it's never necessary. That's what Knowledge checks are for.

Y'all can't convince me that making like Robert E. Howard is a bad thing:

>>49761526
90% of people who throw dice around and play pretend are white, so I'm going to guess "yes" and "they're various levels of european or american based on setting"

>>49761526
Strictly speaking, a "white person" means a member of the Anglo-Saxon race. It is possible that your setting has an equivalent of my people.

does your world have temperate or polar regions? then there is basis for white people existing

Never heard of it.

Please elaborate.

wat? I mean what? How so?

>>49781783
Evil characters pursue pleasure with disregard for the well-being of others. That means if given the opportunity and the desire, an evil character will rape. The question is, how do you justify your character not being a rapist?

Sweet baby jesus mang.

Now im not sure if i should get a second BoP box, an aquila strongpoint or a leviathan dread..An army of sisters tempts me.

These are not manly tears. Im crying like a little bitch right now.

Depends what you'd count as a fetish.

Ultramarines
Imperial Fists (Except if you count siege warfare as "festish"...)
they're rather "neutral"

Bringing this to the new thread:
Anyone got any resources to learn more about the 5 FR Factions (Harpers, Zhentarim, Lord's Alliance, Emerald Enclave, Order of the Gauntlet)?

I've actually used music to plot out my character's background and events before the game. Really helps round out the personality.
D'yer Mak'er, Peace of Mind, Live and Let Die, Behind Blue Eyes, Blackbird.
