Describe the game you;re planning first.

>everyone must die

Sounds like Call of Cthulhu to me.

>>49066749
It's a game called "We're All Going to Die", I have to make up a campaign but I have a rough idea of how I'll do that.

>little rich boys with dice trays

Back in my day we rolled into the screen, between the Monster Manual and the curtain.
Fucking casuals.

Warriors and bards are not allowed to post in this thread.

Because traveling other planes of existence is boring by yourself.
Also you need someone to brag to about how kick ass and wise you are all the time

Easy - because it's a lot easier to trap an egotistical dickhead than one who has reason to be cautious.

EVERY egotistical dickhead gets laid out by surprise. Because they're too smart, too savvy, no powerful to be stopped. So it always happens when they're not expecting it.

You could try FATAL

Seems good for someone like you.

>>49080003
Based on everything I've heard about both, Anima would reflect SU's action quite well.

If you want the fusion stuff to be prominent you should go narrative, though. I'd recommend a flavor of either Fate, or Cortex Plus.

>>49080003
my suggestion is to try d20 basic.
the system is simple and streamlined but with enough crunch to feel good.
Use 5e bounded accuracy and magic or Mutants and Masterminds super powers.
You could try and just go M&M but for me the combat is too bog down by rolls. But thats my taste if you enjoy the combat M&M is the perfect system for you.
Boy would I love to play a Steven U game.

>you noticed the intentional inconsistency
Nice job.

Is this what refluffing weapons is like?

>>49066583
Nah. In some systems melee weapon damage is melee weapon damage, so you don't have to change things mechanically to suit the description. In some other instances damage type so infrequently has an effect that changing it doesn't really matter, so who cares. Finally, refluffing weapons often involves weapons that are more similar to their proposed mechanical basis than a baseball bat is to a battleaxe, i.e. dealing the same damage type.

>>49065366
Yes. They failed the first save to resist becoming a bunny, but passed the second save to resist losing their sense of self. They then cheesed it, so there's a high level cleric rabbit in the forest channeling negative energy.

>>49065366
Our DM let us polymorph someone into a goldfish, then mage hand him off a cliff. The cliff did not have water at the bottom.

He remained in that form for the rest of his life.

For us, one of us was turned into a mouse when we thought she'd been obliterated.

For enemy, we turned one into stone. That was a mistake though because overtime she sort of regained her consciousness and control of her body, and eventually managed to become molten in form so that she could move better.

I'm not really sure what mainstreaming would entail, but sure. I played during the 3.x boom and managed to be in pretty high demand as a DM among people who had largely not played before. It was fun then, and would probably be more fun now that I know what I'm doing a little better.

Video games are mainstream now and that didn't stop me from enjoying them so it's going to be the same only I will find players faster

they care about their children

>>49064027
Only can really be said for nurgle. They even make it a point that Khorne doesn't care who's blood spills, only that it remains flowing uninterrupted. Tzeentch has fucked over his own side many times I'm sure. Not sure about slaanesh but I wouldn't put it past her/him/it.

The Chaos Gods won't ruin everything forever just because they're upset someone comes to them with an harsh truth.

>vertical railtrack

That is such an awesome yet simple steampunk style concept I am surprised I havent seen it used before.

>>49062464
Looks interesting. Got a backer pdf to share?

I'm going to be playing a career criminal con man who's barely surviving the Crash by calling in favors and pleading with debtors to keep his slippery ass uninfected. After all, no dead man can pay you back.
He's got an ex girlfriend, a son, and a current (sort of) boyfriend that he's tring to support by running over the fence into No Man's Land and doing dangerous jobs that pay.

>>49062464
Looks like yet another zombie game, but I'm open to being wrong if you've got a PDF to share.

>So why can't D&D adventurers just lug these things around and thrown them into dungeons to clear them?
They can't?

Guess your GM is shit.

>>49062169
I'm sorry, what are you proposing as a topic of conversation? The article? D&D's lack of decent thrown weapons? Players that insist things discovered about the crusades must be put in the game somehow? Not trying to be a dick, just don't know what you're looking for.

>>49062169
I'll go with "What is Alchemist Fire?" as my answer here Alex.

RW angel ramp. Ichor and Myosinth Wellsprings, follow up with Shrapnel Blasts and Angelic Purges. Curve into an Seraph of the Sword or Day of Judgement. Emancipation Angel also bounces your Phyrexian goodies. Twilight Shepherd and Flameblade Angel as the biggies. One for damage, the other for DoJ.

I like tribal, especially if you can do something fun with it. Like Lovisa Cold-Eyes, but all the creatures are red waifu. I made a red-only vampire deck, all the original Innistrad vamps with Blade of the Bloodchief and burn spells.

>>49061903
I made a 100% Theros deck around RB Minotaurs, pretty decent in casual play. Now I'm thinking about making a deck build around other than Mogis Theros god, probably Karamtera

>>49061903
Could you post the full list for that RW angel deck? Sounds pretty fun

>>49061059
I HATE stepping on wet cloth. But as far as pain, yes. d4s are dreadful, though I've only stepped on one when I went to a player's house for a session, the messy bastards.

I'm a fan of swirly, but I also like vibrant solids, like a radioactive green. Translucent dice a shit, and yellow often looks like piss, so fuck that noise.

>>49061059
I don't think you understand how painful it is to step on a piece of lego. d4 does not even compare to those awful sharp edges, all the little nubs tearing at your flesh...

They are pretty bad though.

I like a simple black letters/white background for my dice. Easy to read.

>>49061059
>Are these the only thing worse to step on than a piece of lego?
A literal nail or screw would be worse.

>Also, which color scheme do you like for your dice?
I'm not picky, I will take almost any dice color scheme so long as the color of the dice surface and the color of the numbers are distinct enough to be clearly read from any reasonable distance.

don't be showing me your red dice with crimson lettering because I'd take serious issue with that absurdity.

>>49061023
Honestly? Mutants and Masterminds, BESM, or GURPS. However, you'll have to create all the specific spells and such yourself, along with the elemental system for it to be accurate.

so, nobody? nobody has any advice on this?

...brilliant...

>>49060844
I look to pc's back stories and see what can be used as a plot hook. Also just pulling shit that I enjoy. I also spit ball ideas to online friends and some of my players to have a little back and forth.

>>49060844
calm down, it's hasn't even been an hour since you posted.

I look to music a lot. There's usually songs about crap that inspires me. I also have a folder of non-character art stuff that looks interesting. If I can't think of anything, I'll go through that to see if any of it sparks an idea. Worst case, nothing and I just start making random towns and shit, thinking about what would be near that town, and how it would interact with its neighbors. If they would have some sort of conflict, that could be interesting for PCs. Doing something as simple as making a local bakery can bring other ideas to the surface.

What system are you using

>>49044213
go to
>>>/k/
for a month, develop frightening levels of autism regarding weapons, go from there.
Or
Use real ammo to count

>>49044365
An obscure system called Mutant Epoch. It's based on the earlier Gamma World.
