Rerequesting my deathwatch character. He has armor like the guy on the left, and looks like Naked Snake, with the colors of the top. My only specific request outside of those is that he be drawn smoking.

If you decide to give him a bolter, the chapter he belongs use bolt-silencers on all of their arms, and also have a heavy reliance on knife use in cqc, if that helps. Thanks~!

Migrating.
I'm playing the brother in a pair of werewolf twins In this setting, werewolves are permanently in the half-wolf-half-man state, which is mildly suspicious but whatever.

Both armoured fighters, the brother is the lighter armoured of the two, using a pair of katars and a mobile, slightly acrobatic fighting style, though carrying a short backup sword for when katars would be impractical. Enough armour to catch the odd blade or two, but not enough to impede movement. Roughly the level of pic related, though perhaps a tad sparser.
The sister is the heavier, preferring shield and sword, and occasionally a mace. Thicker armour, and far more covering. Fancy tabard underneath the armour, and a fancier cape/shawl when she's not fighting. For game purposes, she has a helmet, but none of us really has any idea how to make that look realistic with a wolf head, so it's up to you.

They're both noble-born with a fine pedigree, though you wouldn't know it from how they carry on. They're a pair of jackasses, only out to cure themselves or establish their own realm because their mother told them she wouldn't allow werewolves in their ancestral castle. The armour and weapons they carry are obviously of high quality, decorated with etchings and filigree where it wouldn't cause problems in combat.

Artistic liberty obviously to be taken, we haven't played them long enough to cement their looks, just a rough guideline of "fine features, smooth silver and grey fur, expensive clothing and gear, rowdy demeanour". It's an either/or deal, they don't have to be together but I'd appreciate it if they were. The sister's player would be just as pumped as me to get something for them, so whichever takes your fancy.
Sorry for the word vomit, and thanks to anyone interested!

Or Ancestral Recall. Pretty useful any time in the game.

Use a system with highly granular rounds like GURPS (1 sec.), or use initiative modifiers like AD&D.

Some transformations are instant [take no game time or actions]

Others take up your turn, but are not interupptible.

And others take a full round [or longer] to complete, and taking damage during it requires that you make a "Transformation Check" or something, or lose the transformation.

If you're going to have transformations, don't make mid transformation attacks a standard mechanic.

Yes, they happen, but they're a rare exception generally used to mess with genre conventions, not a general rule.

It's even mechanically a bad idea. If you can be attacked mid transformation, everyone is just going to go around transformed as often as they can justify, which takes a lot of the fun out of it and does even more damage to the genre-tone you're going for.

Thank you! And to commemorate this new thread, I have a google document, of all things, courtesy of Serena and myself and full of heartfelt angel talk and subsequent lesbian angel interaction. It is lewd, I'm sorry to say.

I also have for you a picture that Serena commissioned (I don't know who the artist is so ask her), featuring two glorious, beautiful, shining beacons of light and also two angels. I should note that the two angels in the picture to the left aren't the two angels in the story, so it's not really related. I mean, one of them is one of the angels in the story. But they're not both both angels. Not that one of them could be both of them. Look, what I'm saying is that it's Serena and Gisela in the picture, and it's Serena and Laurela in the story. Got it? Okay.

If I fucked up the link there, I'll repost the proper one in another post. Fingers crossed.

Dumbass first draft kinda thing.

Rate my shit snowflake and criticise where I can improve if you want.

I'm gonna expand on it later it's like 5 am. This doesn't belong in the repository yet.

Gelatinous cubes can actually be scary as fuck because they block the entire corridor. I've had some tense moments trying to work out which routes are safe and which have a corridor with a cube in it.
They aren't the 'comedy jello cube' people use them as these days in a lot of oldschool game. Rather, it's a transluscent wall of digestive ooze that fills the corridor and bears down on you relentlessly. Nasty.

I hid one in a frozen ice wall once. Players tried to thaw the wall to get through, only to revive the ooze -- which immediately tried to kill them.

Also - Greyhawk and Ravenloft are done, vetted, and up.

Forgotten Realms is huge, but I'll deal with it another night.

I've seen it described as "Science Fantasy", which I like.

Pulp fantasy maybe? Modern fantasy sort of.

>>48308407
badly designed

Being immune to damage, age, and the needs of the flesh.

>>48308005
Most of listed do offer freedom from flesh and age, but damage... How?

>>48308020
Basically invulnerable on multiple levels, super strength need not apply.

>>48307965
Define traditional fantasy.

Let's go with games like Pathfinder or D&D.

Probably should have elaborated, anon, my bad.

Player characters in my games are almost always regular people easily overwhelmed by large numbers of NPCs. They're also punished for acting like retards.

Assuming he keeps his dex and cha scores, my elven swashbuckler would proclaim himself a god or something.

Deathwatch. Seriously. Characters are individually powerful and get cool teamwork-based abilities. Change the paint job and you've got a perfect Sentai game.

>>48307073
Doesn't any Warhammer game need like a hundred or so soldiers to get bounces?

>>48307125
Nah, Deathwatch is about a small strike force of space marines.

>>48304254
Play MAID.

>>48304254
FATAL seems perfect to you.

>>48242575 is a Magical Girl storytime thread which has some discussion of systems. The game itself uses Legends of the Wulin, but people in the thread talk about using M&M.
