>Have you ever failed so hard in a game that your lord had to order your death?

I had a PC try for the spear

Not only did he fail, lost his right arm, and ended up releasing Kinjiru, but he was so tainted by the experience that his only out was seppuku.

Seems like that would be the usual result of such efforts.

Even Detect Magic?

Just because something is popular, doesn't automatically mean it is good.

Chess is the best game at a being chess.

Is she pondering the game before first move was even made? I mean, I might have had some measly 2000 ELO, but I would not sit down to the board without some opening in mind.

Boring wargame without randomness factor but easy to pick up and learn

GURPS' good for low-powered small time heroes. (Like, say, some of the X-Men with only one power)
Absolutely sucks for Superman tier.

Mutants and Masterminds is a vaguely d20 inspired (EXTREMELT vaguely at this point, there's next to no resemblance between 3e and D&D beyond using that one kind of dice) generic system built around high flexibility when it comes to characters and powers.
Fair warning though; it requires players who understand that trying to make the most powerful superhero character ever is not the same thing as actually making an interesting superhero to play with or even hear them talk about at all.

The sheer flexibility also paralyzes some inexperienced RPer'd used to more structured games; since powers are designed as an Effect ("hurt stuff" "make stuff" "blast stuff" "fly" etc) and the fluff is basically completely up to you a lot won't know how to make it work for them since they're basically supposed to draw heavily upon their own imagination and understanding of the narrative purpose of various superpowers.

Depends on the game.

I did, once, in a supers game. It was a biological android and purposefully hid it's identity at all costs to avoid being 'dismantled' and pretended it was a robot. It was a sensory psychic that worked with the players as intel gathering and psychic sniping with nonlethal mind bolts during combat.

Nice concept dude.

>No magical realm answers please.

Nigger the whole concept of "full body armour" is a magical realm. Nobody would wear this except as a spacesuit because it's constricting, uncomfortable and limits your senses to the point of being crippled. Now fuck off.

Strength: 10/10 shakes
Endurance: 8/8 hour arms workout

I enjoy the spirit of the game like a (relatively) well-adjusted human being, and accept that chance may or may not go in my favor.

You're supposed to follow what the dice roll on. If you choose to ignore it, you might as well be reading your players a book.

>>48085479
For RPGs, dice can and eventually will be fudged for the sake of the story going smoothly and making sure everybody is having fun. That's something I think every player needs to accept.

Avatar's firenation is a good example. Propaganda doesn't have to be bad. Expansionism can bring prosperity. Nationalism can be used to inspire people.

Make it Brave New World. He keeps the people so happy and docile they are practically sheep, and act as his personal slave army. He does nothing "wrong," but on a deeper fundamental level it just isn't right.

Is he actually evil at this point?

>>48084774
Not bad, but I'm a bit disappointed.

Nice custom card, but it's a bit boring. Perhaps have the second ability do something a bit more interesting. Not a fan of the random discard either. What's "Hope" about that?

You should change the second ability to give deathtouch or something.

Also, the hands are sticking out from the sides. As cool as it may be, it's better when planeswalkers have only one part sticking out of the card like what Wizards does.

>13

I understand why, but I really wish it was some absurd number like 50. Thirteen doesn't feel threatening.

That offer is complete shit. Why in the world should we pay you to remove a dangerous to you?

Fuck you Xuan, we're not doing work for you

Yeah, let's decline.

"Young man, if you are screwing with me and my men, I swear to god-" Richards says, the veins slowly coming back into view.

"No, no, I'm not! I'm not!" you say quickly, "It should be there! It never moved from that spot. Hell, it was starting to gather dust! It doesn't make sense! It was off. It had no way to move without us turning it...on..." you get the feeling more foul play could be involved in this.

And then Pandora got wiped and Doc killed himself the end.

>>Tell them to question Mouse about it
DO NOT question Snowglobe about it. Have the interrogators pretend they don't know anything about it and try to get Snowglobe to slip up.
