No

Not in my setting.

Also looking to discuss any other setting with horror and fantasy elements and/or urban magic in a modern setting

>>48628212

World of Darkness, Chronicles of Darkness, Delta Green, Urban Shadows, Unknown Armies, and Dresden Files all deal with this to varying degrees. What are you looking for in a game, super gritty horror, comic book-like monster fighting, playing the monsters yourselves, what?

>>48628287
The Condemned series is a pretty good example, if you're at all familiar with that. I like the idea of a standard modern, urban setting, but oh wait, now there are cults and monsters and nightmares in my city of generic criminals.

In this instance, setting and atmosphere are more important than the nature of the gameplay, which I can modify to fit my needs if it's for the sake of a good setting.

I'm totally down with joining smuggest orc.

GW, please stop...

>>48627148
The most beneficent Emperor has heard your prayers... '... please stop [this xenos heresy]' and he protects.

>>48627070
Salamanders shoulder pad. Interesting.

Step 1: You don't

>>48626568
I mean, yea, but humor me. Is it as simple as creating specific gods for bullshit reasons ala Disc World?

>>48626686
okay, you should world build first, civ build second and god build third.
Gods should thrive around one of the following: nature, fundamental existance or civilization. God of the forest, check
God of crafting, check
God of fear, check
you get a few basic gods that are important cornerstones to your world. look to actual religions or pre-established pantheons in game. then throw out some badass sounding names and you have a pantheon.
dynamics are always a good idea as well. brother and sister gods, a fire god that has an intense hatred of mice because one crawled up his pant leg.
also, most pantheons have a "creator" that has bestowed a lower form of divinity upon essences he has deemed important enough to require guidance for.

I've played microscope twice at cons, first time was great second time was meh

>>48626396
I actually have a copy, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet. I did not know of the Explorer supplement. It seems like a pretty good game.
I'm considering running it once I get a group together for D&D so that everyone will be involved in world-building instead of just me.
The only other world-building game I've played was Dawn of Worlds, with mixed results.

>>48626396
I never played it, but I'm pretty sure I have a copy if someone wants a link

>>48626024
He'd probably nods back, then records everything afterwards to show to the committee.

>>48626024
Depends on what personality is driving at the time. One worries about going crazy and might break down in nerves while, the other already knows he is and probably wouldn't blink twice at a dapper skeleton out for stroll.

>>48626024
he would ask who the skeleton was. if there was no response he would bid him good day and be off

>>48625901
Guttural Response

>>48625901
Just play Fling and similar spells. There's nothing much besides Guttural Response.

Guttural Response
Red Elemental Blast
Pyroblast

Alternately, Vexing Shusher

I tried it about a year ago. Died horribly, had some good fun. It really helped to have an early taste of 7th edition.

>>48626691
Funnily enough I managed to get the escaped in disguise ending on my first try. I feel like I'll send it to my friends and see if they're interested in playing CoC.

>>48625684
Maybe also link Paul Fricker's videos.

7th is definitely the best CoC so far. They took a lot of spread out information and compiled it in a new structure, making the whole thing accessible again. The new sanity details are great! Pushing rolls and luck spending work wonderfully. The sheet makes more sense. Success levels and directly opposed rolls, especially in combat, make everything run very smoothly and fast.

It's a great game. So well made, it's a good generic base for homebrews of any flavor.

>it's just one more number
That's the philosophy that gave us Eoris.

>>48625495
Your point? This doesn't look more complicated than D&D 3.X, except notation is via marking circles, instead of writing down numbers?

>>48625640
The core mechanic (I won't get into anything else because I've managed to successfully block it from my mind) is rolling a number of d20 equal to your stat plus skill. Additionally, you roll a d20 to determine margin of success/failure, but that d20 might be one of the one's you're already rolling. Normally, you're looking for dice over 15, but your stat mod can change what number you're looking for based on how many points you sink into it. Count successes, adjust for penalties, and see if you succeed.

You do that for every single roll to do anything.

That isn't how insane people operate, though, especially the type of insane that is actually able to be an adventurer rather than some gibbering lunatic in a corner.

>>48625140
>lolsorandom insanity
Both inaccurate and shit-tier for roleplaying.

>how to be that guy in five easy steps
>brought to you by faggotry incorporated

Cumbersome two-handed melee weapon that does 1d10 piercing damage, can be tossed 10ft for a ranged attack

NEVER give smart players cursed items.
Cursed items are mad OP.

>>48624480
That's such a huge nerf though with nothing in the rulebook to back it up. I like the idea of the bag devouring its victim if the attack is successful but one attack roll seems like not enough

Damn, GW is going really cheap on their prostitutes now.

THE WANDERER RETURNS

(we already had at least one thread on this, but I'll admit it's good stuff)

Eh, he already ran 40k into the ground. He can't really do much harm to Age of Sigmar, no matter how badly he spergs over "totally not fantasy spess muhreens".

Wow, Eldarfags are about to get raepd by the new Ultramarines

>>48623742
He said GW is his new client, so not really, he'll just be writing novels for them

>>48625706
Yeah that's hardly any better

Fun while it lasted but yeah, the ending fucked sucked: psychic mumbo jumbo and mystical bullshit in a show that was pretty grounded for the most part, and no main plots finished up satisfactorily. At least Mirrorshades embraced its weird soap-operaness and had a happy ending

I don't think swan song was that good desu...maybe people just like it so much because it's a shiny turd in a sea of not so shiny turds.
