Why so many settings use lovecraftian meme themes? Lovecraft was a fucking hack most of his stories go like this

Lets slow down there a bit bucko. I don't think Lovecraft is a hack but you need to get off his dick.

You know until 60's he wasn't even considered particularly good right? And I knew someone will post fucking Cthulhu. I bet you're the kind of fuck who believes ''Lovecraftian = le tentaclez rite? xD'' kill yourself.

The ocean is an oft-neglected part of a fantasy realm. What sets the briny depths in your games apart?
>>49429822
True. I like the idea that the doll takes on the target's AC and such; I'll try to work with that.
I want to do this
>>49427382
What would be a cool way for my players to come across it?
>>49429885
Hope it works out for you! I love when players put spins on things.
I'm about to start a campaign and my Warlock wanted to have his Focus be tattoos on his body. I told him that he can't because a focus needs to be a physical object (that I can take away from him or he can lose) and that ink in D&D, while it can have magical properties, tends to be temporary what with spell scrolls disappearing on use and whatever. Instead I told him that he can have tattoos on his body the represent his spell slots, and he prepares each day by refreshing his tattoos. It also lets him feel a noticeable cosmetic change when he levels and gets access to new spell slots. Flavorful, unique, but doesn't circumvent any design balances.

You fool Tichondrius! This is why we have not taken the Azeroth yet!
Long story short, the basic idea is that women on a certain continent will usually grow about 50% more massive and three times stronger then men.
My basic idea is that this leads to more insular societies that can't effectively wage war do to it requiring women to go out and not be having babies when they should need to to keep the population at a reasonable level, drastically limiting how long a military campaign can last.
does this sound reasonable? are there other implications I should consider?
>>49383908
You could have a caste/rotation thing going on. Women could serve a mandatory time in the military. Upon retirement they become respected members of their communities and start families with their harem of manflesh. Afterall if they survived war they will be passing on some badass genes (in theory).
Or just have some women as honoured breeders. Women who opt to bare lots of children for the state who are provided for etc.
>>49383960
yeah, but a woman is only fertile for like, twenty years. or are you saying I should make anoher alteration or two in the name of story?
>>49383908
Eh. It's a plausible solution, but doesn't solve the "male expendability" issue.
Even if the females are significantly stronger than the males of the society, the woman is still far more "valuable" (from a social development standpoint) because she carries a uterus. If she gets pregnant (and again, from a societal standpoint she should at some point, to continue the growth of the society) she's going to be noticeably less "healthy" than non-pregnant women (mood swings, cravings, morning sickness, joint paint, etc.) for a decent slice of the first trimester, and then be noticeably pregnant/less able during the second, with the problems of the first trimester getting more acute or manifesting if they did not already. The third trimester she's realistically not able to do physical work, because she's carrying a large weight that causes all sorts of hormonal and physical issues with her body. After giving birth, the woman needs a few months to recover physically and mentally (PPD is absolutely a thing) before she can begin to approach the levels of physicality she had before the baby. This means that, purely due to the nature of childbirth, she's going to be at least 9 months (2/3 Trimester, 3mo recovery period) out of action and unable to contribute physical labor such as waging war, as well as three months of having her performance noticeably affected in the first trimester. This all happens because growing a living, breathing child the size of a basketball and then pushing it out of your vagina is a very physically demanding thing to do, and yet is absolutely necessary for the continuation of society.
Men, on the other hand, are under no such burden. Males can impregnate a female, and then less than an hour later be completely able to do physical labor again. Because they don't carry the child, they can theoretically impregnate as many women as they can ejaculate into, so fewer males are needed.

Which assaults would you give to a MoC lance?
>>49386039
Stalker, striker, banshee. Possibly a cyclops or leftover Awesome or Atlas Maybe a Thug if I'm doing the 'SL salvage to make the periphery more interesting than all unseen all the time' thing
>>49386039
Well, your choices are pretty limited in 3025, which is the main time period in which it's a problem.
>Atlas -D or -RS:
Leftover Star League Mechs, RS's are D's converted over to the new standard. Can't be too many, being leftovers.
>Banshee -3M or -3MC
Again with the leftovers.
>Highlander -733, Thug -10E, Striker -2C
All SL leftovers given to the Inner Sphere/Periphery General category when they limited access to the Unseens. How production values work for them, I don't know.
>Longbow -7Q
Made in the Terran Hegemony only, another leftover from the SLDF occupation.
>Charger -1A1
Only variant of the Charger they get MUL access to; must be an SLDF leftover by definition. Given how terrible they are, I can't imagine many survived.
>Battlemaster -1G, Stalker -4N and -3F
Finally, some reasonably in-production Mechs that the MoC can actually get their hands on. Not that they manufacture them, but they can at least theoretically import the things. (Note: there is no IntroTech Cyclops available to the MoC!)
In 3025, the MoC has 10 Regiments, 2 Battalions of troops (Periph 1e). Sphere-wide, the proportion of Assault Mechs, IIRC, is roughly 10% of the total number of Mechs available. MoC forces are notably light, but lets assume for the sake of argument this proportion holds true (it's more likely about 5% for the MoC). The MoC has - at most - 1,152 Mechs available to it, assuming all of the listed units are at full strength (again, unlikely). At roughly 10% of the total, we should assume about 115-120 Assault Mechs available to the MoC. At an even distribution, that's 10 examples of each of the 12 available Assault Mech designs.
What's far more likely is that there's 2-6 of every design that isn't a Beemer or Stalker. AT MOST, assuming a lance of each of the other designs, there's 36 total "everything else", and about 30 each of Beemers both kinds of Stalker.
So smart money's on the Beemer or Stalker as an "iconic" design for the MoC.
http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/card-image-gallery/kaladesh
With Kaladesh being fully spoiled its time to take a look at how the decks losing a lot of their cards in rotation will adapt to the new standard. The Bant decks will be getting a lot of talk so lets focus on the little ebrother.
Mono White Humans
With ORI AND DTK out were are losing Dragon Hunter , Kytheon Hero of Akros, Knight of the White Orchid and tech choice Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit.
We stil keep Thalia’s lietnet an a strong core of boosts so the human tribal would stay but other aspects may stretch.
Mono W human gets its power from cards being
1. Cheap
2. White
3. Humans
With Ori and Dtk out we have less chances to get all of the above. Dwarves are the white race of Kaladesh meaning we’ll have to push outside one color if we want to keep the human growth
This brings me to Red and its cheap creatures like Inventor’s Aprentice and Speedway Fanatic. Coupled with Red’s artifact focus, adding in vehicles may act a great bit of colorless glue in our now 2 color build.
This is my test concept
Creatures
4 Inventor’s Apprentice
4 Expedidtion Envoy
4 Thraben Inspector
4 Town Gossipmonger
4 Smuggler’s Copter
4 Hanweir Miltia Captain
3 Speedway Fanatic
4 Thalia’s Lietehenet
Spells
2 Gryffs Boon
1 Stritcher’s Graft
4 Decelration in Stone
4 Always Watching
Debating whether swapping stitchers graft out for Inventors goggles is worth it.
If we toss in 4 Toolcraft examaplar we are going off tribe but the artifact base may be enough to support it; and it’s cheap. Especially with Thraben. Thoughts?

ISHIGGY it's like you hate value anon. You put in your list jank like Speedway Fanatic and yet you forget of good red cards.
What would be the best roleplaying system for playing a game in the theme of Rick and Morty?
>>49425956
FATAL. I think that's the first time I've said that and it wasn't a troll answer.
But, really anon, you need to learn the difference between setting and system. You could theoretically run it in DnD, if the story was about them dungeon crawling.
Anal circumference aside, Fiasco would suit the randomness of the stories well.
>>49425956
Risus, just figure the characters out into appropriate cliches like Alcoholic Mad Scientist (4) and you're all set.I've never even seen Rick and Morty, is it good?
What are some good oneshot ideas? I might be running one soon-ish (mid/late-October) for my uni's gaming club.
Could be for any system, though I'd prefer something that's relatively easy to learn, or at least the bare necessities to play can be condensed down to a page or two. I'm probably gonna have a lot of new players so they're not gonna have much/if any experience with TTRPGs.
As far as the genre, I'd prefer something modern day like WoD, or high fantasy like D&D/Pathfinder. I'm cool with anything, though, so long as the players are gonna like it.
