You remember where you are and what the neon means. You are as safe as you can be, the Crimson King seems to pay reverence to the other one and has not set his foot on the floor of the casino.

You take a breath. The heist is done. You have to get back to planning. Hell, this is starting to feel a lot like your old life.

As a man in a black latex suit and a viking helmet walks by you, you amend: A little like your old life.

>You've got real solid cash on hand, you can start thinking about serious shopping for gear and entertainment. Make a list.

>Easy come, easy go. Bet the suitcase on black at the roulette table.

Why would you want to actively avoid introducing people that are genuinely interested to a hobby that you enjoy?

>>48703788
To avoid altering the composition of the population would be the main reason.

The foremost complaint of the ancient grognard is that change is bad, which is why they resist mainstream acceptance of games and hate new players entering their hobby without them spending the time and effort to learn the nuances and subtleties of their culture.

>>48703788
Define "genuinely interested."

If games are more accessible, people with a casual interest in them will end up playing them. If they're difficult to access, only people who are dedicated to the concept will pursue them.

I'm personally happy to see a more casual roleplaying community, but some people may resist that because some companies may decide to try and broaden their intended demographic without careful consideration, pandering to people who don't even care about the game while alienating its original players.

I like Lawful Evil and Neutral Evil. You play it like you would a normal person, but nobody can tell you you're out of alignment for killing defeated enemies, etc. The most pragmatic choice is the 'correct' one for LE and NE.

>>48692394

Lawful Evil

>>48692394
I like either Lawful or Chaotic Good. I prefer to play good characters, but it generally depends on the type of game and/or character.

>>48690107
Which lie are you referring to?

>>48692621
Lotus Cobra is often considered the poster child for the claim that mythics should be splashy and interesting rather than just tournament staples being a lie

>>48690107
They would not be ONLY tournament staples.
Getting playable mithics is throwing Spikes a bone. You cannot reserve a rarity only to Timmies and Jhonnies.

Are you familiar with Old World of Darkness? Particularly Werewolf: The Apocolypse?

One of the Tribes is the all Female Tribe called Black Furies. The only way they have males is if they are Metis (i.e. they are inbreed children of two full werewolves fucking which is akin to incest) mostly because they are sterile and can't have children but that's a way you can have a male Black Furie.

>>48688936
The thing about Amazons is that they are, as a rule, a female-dominated society. A male isn't equal to a female - in fact, the reason most Amazon societies are formed is from refugees or reactionaries from a highly mysoginistic society.

If you have a male being equal in an Amazon society, that society isn't an Amazon society. It's just a matriarchy.

I like enforced gender roles, but also believe exceptions should exist. Exceptions exist because rules exist. Player characters can always be exceptions, as they are the extraordinary ones.

Fuck, I almost want them to be terrible again so I can play them without having my wallet or my feelings hurting

>>48693563
Sure thing. I had a BBEG that was basically a high level Monk/Warlock of Kelemvor, but was being tricked by Cyric into turning away from his faith in exchange for power.

Anyways, the party barbarian definitely didn't shrug off Hex +Flurry of Blow shenanigans.

It was also a multi-tiered, "not-even-my-final-form" type fight that involved summoning shades that would grapple everyone but only had like 1 HP each that he could summon back to heal himself. Fun times.

yep. did it with an adventuring party of orcs that trapped themselves in a dungeon after they realized that the ogres they came to parley with had been turned into zombies.

PCs found the orcs camped in a locked and trapped room, there was a mexican standoff and the PCs made the first attack. They were UNBELIEVABLY surprised when the rogue orc sneak attacked them and were terrified of an orc ranger. orc cleric of gruumesh was pretty meh same stats as the eye of grummesh (spelling?). they wound up killing half of the orcs, leaving the cowardly rogue orc and the cleric to live to tell the tale.

>>48693563
In 5e? Not really. I've given them class features like spellcasting or divine smite, but this was done willy-nilly, not by actually giving them class levels.

>>48692603
>Dieselpunk
That's not a thing faggot

>>48692603
Me and some friends played a classic Bond style spy campaign using Savage Worlds in a dieselpunk setting, we didn't end up liking the system much but we agreed the setting was interesting, we've not got the chance to play in it again though

>>48692716
No, anon, you are the faggot and are wrong. It was you all along.

Nation Name: The Kingdom of Blatrek
Race(s): Vampires, Human, Misc.
Color: Red
Fluff: Founded by wizards who were said to hav fled from across the seas long ago. These wizards were shocked by the harshness of this new Niburu and were in more surprised at the mortality they now hand thrust from their school halls. With the ley-lines fractured their powers were useless with the magic they had so long relied on seemingly gone expect in fractured pockets on the now blasted ley-lines. One wizard however named Karl Halpenberg found a most interesting discovery, trace amounts of mana could be found within the blood of every creature born on Niburu. Slowly and over many years Karl would gain power twisting himself and followers into creatures adapted to tapping into the blood of others; Vampires!

The Kingdom of Blatrek is a feudalistic society with the breed of magical vampires commanded by King Karl Halpenberg acting as the noble class. Humans are used for labour and livestock as the Vampires bodies can no longer live without blood and the magic inside it. The only thing worth more than blood is pure mana harvest directly from the Ley-lines which is coveted by the whole kingdom.

One final thing- if you want to take a look at the last Colonies game:

Welcome to the Mecha Mercs Skirmish Campaign.

This is a tactical turn based collective game where each player takes on the role of a mech pilot. As the campaign progresses the players will accumulate a supply of resources which can be used to build up a persistent pool of mechs and equipment, but watch out! If your pilot dies you could lose it all and be forced to start again with an inferior mech.

Right now the game is full and we are not currently accepting any new players.

Welp. Once this sinks in, things are going to be pretty hectic. And I bet my next paycheck Irving had a hand in this mess.

On the bright side, maybe we'll see more Peacekeeper gear being sold, now.

Sword Knights must be so depressed that Stormblades exist.

>>48644734
Why?

Storm Knights are a military arm, Sword Knights are a knighly order.

If anything, they likely look down on them.

>>48644902
Storm Knights are actual knights recruited from the various Cygnar orders. Our at least it used to be, with all the wars Cygnar has had to lower their recruiting standards

Jumpers, I got nothing...
What should the new Thread Question be?

Boktai WIP update. Arsenal is done, let me know how it looks. Note that upgrades aren't linear - you can just immediately buy the best version of something if you have points without sinking more into previous versions.

Jumpers! If you could go back and redo a Jump, with your current powers, which would it be and why?

>>48699675
Tattoos are ugly.

>>48699675
thats a pretty cool one

I want an Aquila but I worry about people thinking it's nazi related.

It doesn't.

>>48693879
How does a half-ghost even happen?

Some bard bones a ghost and pops out a half corporeal baby?

>>48693980
It doesn't happen.

>>48690074
>Thanks, Uncle Stanton! What a nice guy.

The entire party then looks on dumbfounded at the seemingly literally retarded character they share a party with.

>>48690074
Well it depends.
Prince of Lies or not out goal aligns so he's probably given you something that will really help.
If say Michael came down and demanded I allow the BBEG to do his thing for the greater good then it ultimately boils down to what the party wants.
Either way we're probably gonna listen to Lucy,

>>48690074
I'd much rather have the devil owe me one than vice versa. He's not a bad guy, he was just pragmatic and god wanted none of that shit. Heck, I'd probably do it out of the goodness of my heart depending on what he wants and how nicely he asks. I'm not one to accept bribes, but a nice please and thank you would probably do the trick.
