Devon wakes abruptly to the sound of medical equipment humming quietly in the room, beeping intermittently. The room is illuminated by a soft light entering from the window, where the clamor of city traffic can be heard amid the distant skyline of New Prescott's capital district. He shifts in the hospital bed, propping himself up on a sore elbow as he struggles to look out through the window, catching a distant glimpse of what looks like the parliament building's main towers hazily silhouetted against a morning sunrise. The door opens with a hiss as a man in a medical smock walks in holding a data pad followed by a small autonomous cart covered in various medical equipment.
Your drones examine the area, sensing the general locations of your hosts. Decker floats in a medical tank hardly a hundred meters away as your parasite struggles to open his eyes to see a number of robotic figures operating several consoles nearby with cables flowing from the back of their metallic heads into the ceiling, sliding through a mesh as they move through the room. Through the mesh, wires extend upwards and out of sight in a complex network of scaffolding and circuitry as computer voices call out various commands and announcements in various trade language dialects.

How many spiders have you faced at once? Especially of the giant variety.
this might be a stupid question, but is there any cool editable character sheet that you can write in your information like with a form and then print it out.
The one's I've found so far are pretty shit
>>48437089
>How many spiders have you faced at once? Especially of the giant variety.
We went through Not Mirkwood once in Faerun.
It got pretty bad. Two of us had insect and general big phobias. The Wizard probably burned half of the fucking forest down with his fireballs and burning hands and rays of fire.

>Question
What is your favorite dark era?
I think my favorite Dark Era is Prehistoric Mage, because it's by far the most fascinating look at the CofD. I would have been happy with that being an expanded book on its own with more attention to the other lines.
>>48412274
Who's that Digimon?
Also, are there any books/resources to represent splats with the Horror making rules? I want to make cross splat NPCs without dicking around with multiple books.
>>48412611
Take a look at 1e Hunter
Specifically Witch Finders(For Mages), Night Stalkers(Vampires), and Spirit Slayers(Werewolves)
And then Mortal Remains for a 2e idea of how to represent all the other splats(excluding Beasts, until they release that thing)
You are Carrina Marseille-O'Hara, a former Newtype ace pilot serving now as a Captain in the Colonial Transit Authority. Your investigation of a derelict stealth vessel found adrift in deep space has taken you through Mars, where some of the technology that went into her construction was designed and where you turned up some evidence of conspiracy within the Royal Dockyards. While you didn't find the ship in any of the registries, official or otherwise, you did find a group of mobile suit-armed revolutionaries to stop and secured the support of the Martian Queen, Mineva Lao Zabi. It was because of this support as well as your old association as her former guardians that she lent you a trio of advanced space fighters, intended to escort you through an area of space known to be invested by pirates operating out of a base on the asteroid Cuithe.
The intended destination of this little task force was Luna, where you would have been checking the registries of those dockyards for any evidence of your mystery ship. However the discovery of three wrecked freighters threw a wrench into your plan: a closer investigation revealed that whoever sank the Antioch, Ramilles, and Scipio did so without first removing the cargo or fuel. It was absolutely inconsistent with your initial assumption of piracy, as even if the cargo wasn't interesting to a pirate crew they would have certainly taken the fuel. You also discovered that at least one of the ships was carrying contraband: automatic rifles, stored inside a crate full of bananas.
After being chased out of the debris field by an unknown vessel, which ran “dark” with no active IFF tags, you've finally forced your way onto the asteroid Cuithe itself in search of answers to your newest set of questions... only to find yourself face-to-face with the last person you'd expected.
“Of all the gin joints in all the galaxy,” Cima Garahau greets you, gesturing to what you can only imagine is her bar.
>1/4
>>48434491
“Can't help but feel it must be fate that brought you here. Grab whatever you want from behind the bar and pull up a chair.”
“You're running a gin bar on Cuithe!?” you demand, smacking the side of your head. “We looked for you exhaustively for a year before we gave you up for dead, and you're in a gin joint at a pirate... God's sake, why are we even pretending to be surprised?”
“That's your business, Captain,” Cima replies as you pour yourself a tall glass of Foxdenton's gin and cut it with some ginger ale. “As for why you're here, I think I can help.”
“You don't even know why we're here,” you observe. For her part the former Zeon pirate turned politician glances about the bar to ensure that nobody else is present... must be a slow day.
“I don't care,” she tells you in a low voice. “But I can tell you everything there is to know about pirate operations in this system if you promise to do me one thing.”
“And what's the price, then?” you ask, leaning in and adopting the same hushed tone.
“I need you to get me off this damn rock before I lose my mind!" she hisses.
You stifle a chuckle. "Retirement not all it's cracked up to be?"
"You have no idea."
“Then maybe you shouldn't have run off when we needed you,” you shoot back in a low tone. “Do you have any idea how helpful you were just by being a contact in the Republic?”
Cima shakes her head in clear frustration. “There was a demographic swing in our representative government, just before I left. What came to be labeled the 'old guard' were pushed out, either by popular vote or party politics... lots of the former military officers in government posts were sacked or resigned, replaced by young idealists with bigger words than resumes.”
“And guess who was first on their hit list?”
>2/4
>>48434520
“The notorious space pirate and accused war criminal Cima Garahau didn't even get a trial in the court of public opinion,” she continues, not waiting for your answer. She does however take a pause to swill her gin. “They knew my service record, they knew that I'd been used as Zeon's patsy then abandoned by my superiors. They knew that I'd fought Principality loyalists in space and militarists and isolationists in the government. None of that mattered.”
“So... I came here. The democratic leaders of the Republic of Zeon branded me for life, and so I came where I'd feel more welcome. I opened a bar... seemed the only thing to do, really.”
“And you hate it here,” you summarize.
“Passionately,” she agrees. “None of the things that used to matter even exist out here. Principality loyalists, EFSF veterans, civilian criminals... they're not fighting for anyone or anything but themselves. You know what the number one cause of death for a pirate on Cuithe is?”
“Murder?” you guess. Cima shakes her head.
“Sabotage. More people die out here when rival crews sabotage their ships than from any other cause.”
“Sounds like a lovely vacation spot,” you tell her, finishing your own gin and ginger ale. “We can see why you'd want to get the fuck out.”
“You haven't even seen the way they behave in here,” she adds, gesturing around the room. “I've had to ban firearms, football colors, uniforms and insignia, flirting, music players... hell, they even used to get into fights over each others' music!”
“So what do you play now?”
“Jazz,” Cima replies, switching on the sound system with a remote she produces from her pocket. The baritone voice of Nat King Cole greets your ears. “First guy got belligerent with me over it caught a bullet in the head for his trouble. Stopped getting complaints that day.”
“You shot him?”
“Didn't have to,” Cima tells you. “These louts know who gets them their booze.”
>3/4
>>48434538
“So you want to leave with us?” you ask, seeking to confirm Cima's intentions to leave Cuithe.
She nods firmly. “Yes. I'd been planning to stow away on one of the transports that come through here and drop off contraband like what we've been toasting with, but you being here gives me an alternative.”
“What will you do once we get you out of here?” you press.
“Don't know, don't care,” she admits. “I'll come up with some way to survive. I always do.”
“Do you still have that mobile suit of yours?” you ask her, already suspecting her response. “We could use a little help getting clear of Cuithe, in the event someone decides to treat this as a defection.”
“What do you think?” Cima replies grimly. “When I was chased out of the Republic I lost everything. The Gerbera Tetra's probably gathering dust in a warehouse somewhere, unless it's been stripped down for parts.”
>Does Cuithe maintain its own mobile suit force? Could you possibly steal something useful?
>Do you have any sympathizers among the pirate crews? Any contacts we could make use of?
>We want to see this asteroid's dockyards and manufacturing plant first. We have a hunch.
>What was that about ships bringing in contraband? Can you check for a few specific names?
>Other?
Where does the idea that elves are all sluts come from? Is it just memes and hentai? It can't be Tolkien, his elves are prudes.
Also, doesn't this clash with them being a dying race? Or even if they aren't a dying race, wouldn't them fucking around so much and their huge lifespan mean that they will outnumber everyone else quickly?
>>48432398
>Is it just memes and hentai?
Yes.
Mostly what you said,but it's mostly lood elf waifus,which is another /tg / meme

How do you do the "crazy stalker girl in love" in a fantasy setting?
>How do you do the "crazy stalker girl in love" in a fantasy setting?
By pulling down your pants
she'll do the rest
yanderes a shit
>>48432014
There's a Rogue Trader green text out there about that
How do I make mentally ill characters (player or NPCs) that aren't "lol murder", "lol random" or just stupid edge?
How and from what would mental fuckups develop? I suspect different kinds of insanity develop from different kinds of stress
What should I read to do this stuff properly?
>>48430929
>How do I make mentally ill characters (player or NPCs) that aren't "lol murder", "lol random" or just stupid edge?
Get away from storybook "insanity" and focus on more common forms of mental illness.
There are a million stories of people's experiences with anxiety, depression, OCD, BPD, bipolar depression, schizophrenia, PTSD, and so on you could read. Also read stories about actual sociopaths and psychopaths (especially from their point of view) to see how to get away from "lol murder" that stories are obsessed with.
Most of the time insanity is used as "lol this character doesn't actually need a motivation to do things"
Just don't do that.
>>48431087
See, that's the thing I'm trying to evade.
>>48431065
Could you link / name some of these stories?
"Who should you fear?" - the knight asks you - "A man who's not afraid of death, or a man who's terrified of it?"
>>48430186
If you're attacking, the latter. If you're defending, the former.
>>48430186
The one who knows no fear may stand beside me or against me, but I'll know where he stands. There's no telling what a terrorized man will do, so it is better to show caution with him.
>>48430186
Good, bad, I'm the one with the gun.
> You did something so wrongthat they built a prison specifically to keep you in.
>they torture you to death just to revive you, and do it over. Promising an eternity of slow agonizing deaths.
> if you do manage to escape, there is a vveritable super dungeon full of traps. And staffed by certified badasses just itching for an excuse to rip you a new one and drag you back to your cell.
>The Jailers are the key. Kill them and be free.
Would play? Y/N?
How would you run it?.
>>48424395
Only so long as I am a motherfucking badass right from the start.
Me personally? No, I find megadungeons claustrophobic. In general? Yeah, sounds like it could be a cool campaign.
>>48424395
Considering the constant death and reviving, you could just play it like All You Need Is Kill, where you use the knowledge and experience gained after each death to eventually become a badass in your own right and escape.
Unfortunately, I can only imagine in a vidya, where death is a major mechanic that you need to get through to learn how to get past obstacles and gain experience enough to grow past those obstacles.

>The Doctor would be a great BBEG
Prove me wrong, /tg/
Isn't that just the master?
>>48414773
If you were evil or in his way he would be. Time Lords in general would make great BBEGs and the Doctor himself's done some really, really nasty shit over the years but he's not an inherently evil person. Even the Daleks get second chances with him.
I can't I don't watch brit shows made for 12 year old girls.

So is this going to suck shit? Has anyone had experience with the 2d20 system who could be able to comment? I was just thinking of starting a Star Trek campaign using FATE or something, so I'm interested.

>Has anyone had experience with the 2d20 system
I've never even heard of it.
>>48390516
I'm a recent convert to Starships and Spacemen, an old system that was actually the second SF rpg ever made. You have to swap out the names because they didn't have the rights to call their totally-not-Vulcans Vulcans, but as a system it's pretty sweet. I'm hoping to get my group together for this in the campaign after next.
