It doesn't really take advantage of it's medium.
But it is designed to avoid it's medium's weaknesses.

I'm not a huge fan, but it's well designed for what it is.

Way worse game than mtg. Way better client than mtg.

Meh.

I like this game. Not sure how good the mechanics are without actually playing it.

If you try to break the game, you can. If you are a sensible person, the mechanics work fine

This is now Random Encounters Edition.

>The PCs wake up only to find that an ogre as wandered into their campsite. It sits on a rotting log near the campfire and occasionally stares at the PCs with a blank expression on its face. If the PCs leave, it follows. Clearly this is a newly "awakened" troll that seems to have imprinted on the PCs

>While skirting the edge of Dovakar, a pair of mules burst out of the treeline and almost trample the PCs. One of the mules carries many bags and containers filled with who knows what. The other mule carries a dead rider with numerous arrows in his back.

>Outside of Thistle Hold, a human and goblin child, flanked by a large ogre are recruiting for an expedition into Dovakar. After hours of failed recruitment, they scoff and head in the direction of Dovakar, donning pieces of oversized armor and rusty swords.

Why don't you make proxies?

Also xenomorph as Eldrazi doesn't really work, but nice touch on the Emerge mechanic

>Is there an easy way to upload these custom sets online and play with them, kind of like Cockatrice?
Well, yeah. Cockatrice.
It's piss easy to play with custom cards on Cockatrice.

>>48202311
I wonder if anybody has made a Roborosewater set for cockatrice. That would be so much fun.

You sit in an oversized chair in front of a long table, covered with delicious looking foods and a myriad of drinks. It's all very appetizing, but the colossal beast sitting a few feet away sort of lessens your appetite.

While you're reluctant to eat, he does not share that problem, loudly consuming vast quantities of food in a way that reminds you somewhat of Goku, but at the same time nauseates you far more.

"You call this food?!" Gurumes snaps at the robotic servant at the end of the table.

"Not just me, sir," the robot says. "Everyone calls it food."

Gurumes throws a plate at the machine's head, knocking it over.

"I can't take this any more..." Gurumes groans. "Ever since I found those damned Blood Rubies, nothing satisfies my hunger. I'm in constant pain, and every day I think it'll kill me, but it never does."

He looks over at you. "I need the Sleeping Princess. She will have the power to free me from this curse."

>A. Ask how he knows that

>B. Tell him that the Devil's Castle is in a place called the Devil's Hand

>C. Ask why he doesn't just get rid of the Blood Rubies

>D. Something else

Is Denise our Office Lady?

Anybody? I can't seem to get a straight answer on it.

When it comes to the Imperium, factions like the Space Marines and Ecclesiarchy typically have volunteers, not really slaves (although they're sometimes treated as much, like with the Marines Malevolent). The rights of workers vary from planet to planet as well, of course. I feel like, officially, the Imperium is against the slavery of pureblood humans, but planetary governments will dance around that rule by calling their workers something else and paying them the bare minimum, or something. If you want to get technical, conscripts are slaves, too.

Then, of course, there's the penal colonies, where the Imperium makes use of criminals as a work force. Ecclesiarchy, too.

Anyway yeah, you're mostly on-point.

>>48202063
You're pretty much on point here. The only exceptions I can think of are:

Most Imperial planets prefer to practice a system of serfdom rather than out-and-out slavery. The Ecclesiarchy also practices a system of indentured servitude with people's payment being that their sins are atoned for. That being said, mutants and offworld abhumans are used as slaves if they aren't banished to the underhives or purged on the spot. I can't think of a single instance of the Imperium taking xenos slaves; they pretty much always prefer to kill them on sight.

Eldar Corsairs take slaves, and I've heard rumors of Craftworld Eldar taking them on very rare occasions, but I have no idea how true that is.

You're kind of right with the Tau. The Tau Empire does not explicitly condone or practice slavery; but, there's always the fact that an Ethereal could order another Tau to do anything (up to and including suicide) and the Tau would do it without hesitation or question. The only overt instance I can think of where the Tau practiced something resembling slavery with their other member-races was in Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, where a Tau victory sees them force the remaining human population of the world into gender-segregated work camps.

The Unlucky Bastard's been busy these last few days, with newcomers wanting to sample surface cuisine and learn all manner of things. The folks from the Roost don't seem comfortable without a roof over their head, but they relax and prove surprisingly personable in the shared space.

Except some jackass decided to pick a fight. Well. Not 'some' jackass. Michael.

You're supposed to be off-duty, gods damn it.

Michael's first swing misses the lean human he directs it at, but the follow-up sinks into the newcomer's gut, doubling him over. You're about to stand up - neither of them know you're /here/ - when the Rooster pulls a gleaming knife, a feral expression in his eyes.

Behind him, a dark-haired young woman with a raven pendant moves faster than you would've thought possible. She slams the man's face into the counter of the bar and throws him to the ground before picking up and swinging her barstool in one smooth, clean motion. It breaks across Michael's shoulder - the same arm Nathan broke, not too long ago, which breaks /again/ from the impact. Michael cries out, sobbing while he clutches his arm.

"The /fuck/ were you /thinking/?" the girl says to the man on the ground, pointing at him. Her glare makes him stay down when he was starting to get back up.

no because you need have an excuse to have half elves, half orcs and half ogres. You need to remember that no other race besides human is compatible to make halfbreeds. Because magic-genetics work like that.

No, because someone has to keep the male monstrous humanoid population happy.

Where do you think all the monstergirls come from, cabbage beds?*

*Except for dryads and the like, which actually might come from cabbage beds.

I'd considered something based in the Elder Scrolls universe, since I'm pretty familiar with the lore and world, but I'm a special fella who couldn't find any one-shots set there.

>but I'm a special fella who couldn't find any one-shots set there.
Adapt something.

>>48211412
Depending on their age you could just choose a plotline from one of the earlier games and adapt it.

That said I wouldn't use a setting from a gaming series if it's their first time as they will just look at it from the video gaming point of view and you will spend all your time explaining why they can't just sneakily pick all the cases with elven swords in them while their owner watches.

>>48210848
They were never branded heretics. That's the problem. In their desire to avoid any reference to traitors, they have commited great sins, Battles have been lost because they just legged it to hunt a Fallen. This has generated more distrust during 10k years that if they had said, "ok, we lost some guys to Horus". Specially with the new HH lore where every legion had some rotten apples.

>>48210848
Dark Angels are widely renowned for being among the purest and most spotless Chapters around. The whole "hunt the Fallen" thing is a dark secret that practically nobody knows about. The great irony is that they have committed *more* sins in their puritanical quest to extinguish all traces of half their Legion falling in with Horus.

They are the "fanatical confessor monks with a dark secret hidden in the bowels of their abbey" Chapter.

>>48210848
>I don't see why 10,000 years later they're still branded heretics
Do you not understand 40k?

Everything is going to shit because everyone is an asshole or a traitor or incompetent (or probably several of those) and everyone else is out to kill you. They won't just forgive someone because they can't trust that it's not yet another trick.
