But will Jump-Chan give me the punishment I so richly desir-deserve?

>>49766862
But then why did she give me Balefire if she didn't want me to slowly break reality wit it?

Also, a question about the Mistborn jump; assuming that, for Feruchamy, the size of the metal object denotes how much of whatever aspect you can put into it, what would be the max capacity for a ring? A bracelet? A necklace? How much jangley crap am I going to have to wear here?

Hey, dirge? I'm the guy who offered a few days ago (at least, I think it was a few days ago, between my fluctuating lucidity and how much I've been sleeping I've kind of lost track of the passage of time) to critique the Sidonia scenario once I was feeling less sick. I think I have an idea to make the ending less "chunky", as you put it. That seems to come from the sudden importance the plot puts on the Sidonia. The traitor all of a sudden decides to reveal themselves and flee the ship for no apparent reason just because they're in the same system as it, and once you meet up with it properly the crew of your ship is finally able to recover the logs and memories of what happened at Archangelsk Shipyard.

My idea is that you work with this, drop hints earlier in the text that the Sidonia might be the clue to figuring out what happened. Maybe put some mention in entry for the Aposimz that the investigation crew tried to access its memory banks to see if it had more complete records, only to find that they were also corrupted, and then have the narration suggest that finding an intact Seed Ship could answer the mystery. I'm sure you could find other places to put in some references to what happened, too, you're a better writer than I am.

Anyway, that way when you warp to LEM and find that the Sidonia is RIGHT THERE, it makes sense to the reader that the traitor would try to escape. They're at risk of being found out, they have to leave. For added plot cohesion, perhaps say that Ochiai's research into "psychokinetic" mind control originated from the Sidonia's records of Heartbeat/Heartbreak, making his insistence on destroying you not just his arrogance but also impulsive fear. He's afraid of what you might be carrying.

Anyway, I don't know how well those ideas would work with your intent for the scenario. I think it's probably close to what you wanted to convey, but I could just be assuming. In any case, I hope that my commentary will be of at least some use to you.

>Question
>Are you a fan of WoD, CofD, or both?
>Hardmode: Which games?
CofD, I don't feel as boot strapped, and I have plenty of room to do what I want and tell the story that the group wants too. Everyone can be what they want.

Favorite Lines so far.
Werewolf the Forsaken
Beast the Primordial
Mage the Awakening

Least favorite but I'd still play if invited...and bribed with pizza.
Vampire (Mask or Requiem), though no pizza needed if you let me play a beast in the Vamp game if it's requiem.

In this scenario there are three races:

Humans, Evos and Animal Companions.

Evos are basically space elfs, who started as genetically modified humans made to work as slaves in harsh planets and now are free, but considered lower class citizens.

Animal Companions are genetically modified animals who are made to be pets for rich nobles, but actually posses human like intelligence and can talk (and pilot mechas if needed).

This may not be the final version of the tables, warn me if you find any errors like repeated options.

With an odds result we are a lady. Now roll 2d6 for our race.

Rolled 6, 6 = 12 (2d6)

It's perfect for getting normies involved!

I'm very fond of Splendor for getting normies into board gaming. It's a card game with lavish artwork, satisfying tokens, and a tight core design that allows for high level play while remaining accessible.

The basic conceit is that it's a game about buying gem mines of five different colors with a certain combination of gems of the same color, and each mine generates gems of its color to make future purchases of mines of other colors, and you're trying to set up a gem generating machine that will outpace the other players with raw purchasing power.

How would you guys change Sorcerer to make it not just a worse Wizard who gets to nova like crazy a couple times a day and may get a couple points more AC?

The lack of rituals, the laughable number of spells known, and the complete lack of any form of upkeep on short rest (whereas even a Wizard gets to regen spells once a day) just makes the Sorcerer feel like the Wizard's lamer cousin.

>>49764179
Sorcerers aren't confined by items, if you even bother playing with that rule

>>49764189
I'm not sure what you mean.

Are you saying that Sorcerer's don't need material components/don't need a focus? because that isn't true

>In this steampunk, fantasy adventure, a collapse imprisons three Dwarven miners who must now work collectively to combat starvation, despair, and a mysterious creature. Further complications arise when one of the Dwarves learns of their joint, morbid fate and must decide whether to tell the truth, or keep it a secret and preserve hope.

Looks pretty cool, OP. I'm down for two hours of dwarfiness.

I see some holes in that plan. First of all, it strikes me as unlikely that one can pass as a seer just by wearing just any hooded robes. Secondly, just because the seers are above the law doesn't mean they're welcome to any and all private events. Finally, even if your being a sage somehow actually manages to go unquestioned, one arriving unexpectedly and with no explanation would be seen as a huge deal. The kind of attention you'd like to avoid when trying to infiltrate a place.

Knight is all about honor, otherwise they wouldn't be knights. That's what separates them from a dude with a sword and shield.

You could always go with a Don Quixote type...

>some
I'm open to suggestions and input from other players, but that shit stays as SUGGESTIONS. Suggestions that I am completely free to ignore, consider retarded, and not use if I so wish it.

To actually make it part of the game rules and take away my ability to veto things I don't like... yeah fuck that. It's MY character, I'm the one playing the character, fuck off and let me make a character I want to play.

>>49749183
>Is character creation sacrosanct or does it contribute to investment and cooperation across the group?

The latter. A lot of the concepts in Fate are just things good GMs and players learn to do naturally after a lot of play, but presented - ostensibly - for newbies.

While there's nothing wrong with everyone coming to session one with a character, especially if you're doing a traditional dungeon crawl, I think it's better if everyone comes to session one with a character that's in some way "on the same page" as everyone else's. This could be as simple as the GM setting some constraints. "Everyone should make a character who lost someone in the big war," for example.

Fate goes a step further and assumes the characters are already a team of some sort, or at least know each other and have interacted with past, in order to tie everyone's backstories together slightly. I can see how this would chafe some people, so it's going to work differently for every group.

What I DO like about Fate is how they make it explicit that chargen should be a clue to the GM about the kind of game the players want to experience. If a player pick the Warlord class and the Leadership abilities, then he probably ought to get to show off his skills and have a squad he gets to command at some point. If a player throws points into Drive and lists his backstory as "former stuntmant" you throw that guy a chase scene bone.

Which games do that?
