Depends on their alignment. Now go away /a/, your manga is edgy, all characters except GS are dumb and the world doesn't make much sense.

It's too big of a grey area to choose to kill them or help them.

Walk away and let their fate fall where it will.

It's so the fans will have another character to make weird porn of.
Duh.

No, it's the opposite. You see, your average murderhobo will just draw their sword, step towards the villain, and lop their head off. By transforming into a huge monster, you turn the situation from a single-stroke victory into an actual battle for your party of murderhobos.

Not really. I love killing big, mean monsters with oversized swords and big explosions.

Man that looks interesting and fun, too bad you can't have that outside of Conspiracy.

I'd love to play a constructed format where you get a conspiracy for your deck, but I think everyone would use this one.

You are Sir Fetch the Nightfeather, and you will /not/ lose another one of your brothers today.

You let out a shrill cry and fling your remaining quills at your foe, aiming for his face. He jerks his arms in the path of your assault. Many of your bony projectiles break against his bracers, but not all of them; you can hear his growl of rage as the Master of Lizards staggers back and Vim scrambles away from his deadly boots.

Off at the officer's houses, you hear a loud cry - "The Major is dead! We're under attack!"

Two of the pens are thrown open - you hear Whisper yelling "Run free, majestic predators!" - and the twenty lizards contained therein immediately pour out into the mass of soldiers trying to gather together, scattering them and sending out cries of pain and fury.

"Yield to me, sir," you demand, imperiously.

"I'm going to hang whatever necromancer spawned you by their fucking nipples," the Master growls.

That other coil at his belt is a bullwhip. He draws it and lets the sinuous leather drag against the ground.

> You've done enough; quit the field (You are Brianna la Croix)
> Vim /can/ still come through for you. Hold your ground!
> Charge! He'll never expect it!

God damn that took longer than I thought but now I am here and the only thing that might delay me is taking a damn nap at some point.

There are plenty of solo boardgames. In the RPG space you've got gamebooks (Lone Wolf ones are up for free on projectaon.org), dedicated solo RPGs, solo modules for regular RPGs, and game master emulators. The latter work as kind of a magic-8 ball designed for RPGs, where instead of asking the GM stuff, you ask the emulator and it gives you either yes/no answers, or with some of them, cryptic I-Ching type answers you have to interpret. (For some folks this may not be all that different from their regular GM)

PDF related is a solo module made up of mini adventures to be played in early D&D or other OSR compatible systems.

>>48986252
This.

>>48986930
Agreed. I love wyrd, and their models are pretty great looking when assembled, but they really need to work on how things fit together.

Having tiny pieces like Wong's mustache be a separate piece is terrible.

>>48987405
>>starting box(s) and individual models to get new players into the game on the cheap
Most of the starting boxes are cheap and a great start. Might be good to point out the ones a that don't do a great job, or have models you're unlikely to use later.

>>48987487
It's also probably not a bad idea to call out boxes that give models you'll use a lot of. I'll start running through the list and see what I can see on both sides.

So opinions on mimics?

How do you like them to work? Abominations or jst adapted monsters?

Any stories?

So I'm writing a sci-fi setting. I'm fairly happy with my explanation of FTL and how it does not let you travel in time and I'm fairly confident that my section on economics gives an adequately believable picture on how economics with fabricators, AI:s and von Neumann machines would look like. I already know what sort of factions I want in the system.

My big challenge though is deciding on a map. What sort of map would you prefer for a big sandboxy sci-fi adventure with a sort of Traveler feel? Should I map it all out in advance? Or should I turn it into a hexcrawl? Or should I just make shit up as I go based on the factions that exists?
>map it all up is a lot of work
>hexcrawl is very gamey
>making it up as I go might lead to the players feeling railroaded

For me the classic shapeshifting mimic is to much of a D&D-ism. I prefer to limit this category of monster to natural camouflage with perhaps a very simple lure, like an anglerfish light or a carnivorous plant with an enticing fruit.

>>48985386
I have to make decisions on the macro scale of world configuration, that will have great consequences down the line.

I'm torn in between using a regular planet, a flat configuration, a toroid or a previous draft with an amphitheater shape.

Ideally I would like to use different celestial bodies beside one another but it is jarring to marry a flat world to neighboring sphere in the same system if the relationships aren't exactly right.

Particularly having a jovian planet is hardly compatible with an irregular world that would profit from orienting itself around an axle.

Name: Alweir the Arbiter
Faction: Hylian
Race: Hylian
Fluff: Alweir is a premier wizard within the kingdom of Hyrule, though, not the best wizard. Or the most wise wizard. Instead, he is mostly known for his command of history: he knows things that nobody seems to know for reasons that people aren't exactly sure of. Some people doubt he is truly a wizard -- wizards usually don't deal in history. Rumors, persistent rumors, suggest he might not even be a Hylian. But those are rumors -- just rumors. That aside, his command of history gives him a reasonable command over the present: weaknesses, strengths, advantages, tactics -- all belong to him. Given such knowledge he often finds myself within the upper echelons of the royal court -- his advice is sought after and demanded.

You are Pax Lombardi. Another farmer in a long line of uneventful farmers, you were called by your Lord along with several other men of the village to Levy. After but a few weeks of training and outfitted with simple armor, shield, and spear you have marched long and hard to this unforgiving desert, with promises of spoils and foreign women. The men make merry at the thought of swift and easy victory, as could only be promised by such overwhelming numbers. The men around you sing songs and brag of bringing treasures to their wives, their children, or of single men taking a "a warrior women home to bed". You wonder what you have left at home.

I think he means a brain with any part that pertains to motor control and sensation.

HYPE FOR PRELIMS AND BEST GIRL

Where were you when you realized that you would never join the royal guard?
Or be a princess

>>49037803
No.

>>49037803
Is the princess exploiting the system herself or is she disapproving of what her father does without being able to change anything?

In the first case, she is guilty as well. In the second case she is not.

If she doesn't know how corrupt the system is because she isn't allowed to learn anything about it, she is innocent as well until she gets educated about the corrupted system. Then one of the first two cases is the case.
