Is this the first time your friend has short noticed the group? Is your GM usually this grumpy/autistic? OP, was this you?

Did the kicked player regularly miss sessions? Had he previously been warned?

If yes then no foul, this isn't really imho a serious enough reason to cancel at such short notice

>>49187040
Not me, legit someone else. My friend is a bit of a douche but so are all of us in the group. First time for this group. My DM is a bit autistic bit not a sperglord, but I see him getting mad for not showing for even a responsibility.

Heroes are made, not born. There is no more greatness in their seed, than there is in aspiration for heroism. Or drive for revenge. Or rising up to the occasion. Or being brave, when no one else us.
The only blood that makes you great is the blood that spills. But I do not expect fat priests to understand it.

While the idea of all adventurers being promoted to breed seems weird I do like the idea of one super special adventurer from hundreds or thousands of years ago having his descendants traced similarly to sayyids in Islam.

We'll need an army of super virile men scoring round the clock.

I'll do my part

That's a blatant lie, the most important gods and goddesses of my setting are associated with commerce, travel, agriculture, weather and the sun.

This. Unless there's a god of 10ft pole or rope, there's no adventurer pandering god

1. If tech has reached an industrial revolution/replaceable parts? Guns. Logically guns.
2. Gurps. Very good at running this style if mashup game
3. Make sure the revolution feels natural and not forced. Show the dichotomy, the unfairness, the elitism. Don't talk about it. Demonstrate it. Session 1 should be: "welcome to inequality, population: the pcs"

>>49185639
One advantage they had in Korra was that magic relied on something else (martial arts) which normal people could still learn to counter and also do non-magic versions of themselves. I would recommend thinking about your setting and deciding what the weak point of magic is, of the elements which go into a mage using their powers which is the easiest to neutralize?

>>49186736
I'm thinking PCs will start as normal people, hell, maybe even agents of the regime. A muggle cop, a reporter, a private detective, a courier - then make sure they will be inconvinienced by the magocarcy as much as possible. For example, chief of police suddenly decides that undead will be much better than you at your job, because they don't tire or question orders. You can continue struggling and trying to keep your position, but eventually you either will be replaced, or you'll reach the point where you wish you were. Curfews, raids and random searches and magical surveilance will also be a part of their lives. Goverment may be utterly ruthless, but also incompetent, allowing magical items to fall into criminal hands.
Any other good ways to guide PCs to the path of glorious revolution?

By writing lewd stories about them and the monsters and creatures they love.

What, you asked how I would do it, and I told you, so why get angry?

The consensus is that they're all unplayable garbage.

Pokemon Tabletop United is the better, newer version of Pokemon Tabletop Adventures. As far as I know at one point the PTA writers just kind of jumped ship and PTU was born.

The game is incredibly crunchy, with each character and all of their pokemon having character sheets. If you want something with less bookkeeping you could always try some theater of the mind bullshit with PTU as a base.

After a burn like that, I bet all sciencefiction will up and collapse within the decade.

It's a mostly-accurate mockery of sci-fi RPGs. Which is why we mostly play them as fantasy with laser-guns.

I'm fine with that. He's write about fiction emulating those games being hackery, but that's ok. Summer reads, or beach reads, are actually supposed to be hackery.

He's a result of Eldars fucking so yeah.

Hm, my explanation got cut off without my realising it in the OP. The first session was raiding an oil platform turned research outpost. They found all aboard dead, and ended up shotgunning a mysterious figure in black that could vanish into thin air. They retrieved a locked box at the centre of the facility.

>they didn't even wipe out one space marine chapter.

I thought they did? Something about being trapped on a planet on top of a rock being slowly overrun or something?

I knew that Matt Ward gave some factions redesigns, but man, those are some weird Sisters of Battle you've got there.
