>If you don't use random generators, how do you pick names for your NPCs?
My NPCs usually have improbably apt names. Like a pirate with weather magic named Eismeer.
>http://www.dict.cc/german-english/Eismeer.html
Yeah, I'm really uncreative, so I just name characters an adjective or noun from another language.

donjon.bin.sh has all kinds of awesome generators. That's my go-to.

As long as you're consistent and characters from the same culture have names that at least look like they could have come from the same language, then that's cool.

The idea of a random fantasy name generator is appalling to me. How is it supposed to know what kind of place your setting is?

Hong Kong movies that had shaolin monks portrayed as martial arts killing movies punching and kicking everything to pieces. Real shaolin monks also are good martial artists, but they also train to use weapons and even armor I think despite their usual portrayal in movies.

I don't know how you missed the kung fu movies and crazy amazing monk feats. In the movies especially, it's a celebration of physical skill without any reliance on armor or even weapons in most cases.

Cowboy Bebop features people that are generally standard humans. You could go with GURPS Lite and run it easily enough. A good amount of crunch for only having like 30 pages.

Saga edition star wars MAYBE. You ever ran rogue Trader the premise is already there just subtract all the angry aliens -n- shit.

We had BESM (Cowboy Bebop too) game long ago and it was horrible because there just wasn't enough rules to play it effectively. The problem might have been that we would have needed more than basic riulebook to play it though, so if you're willing to hunt down all the other books it might work better. This was with third edition.

Use stats for Time Elemental, and add the vampire weakness where they take 1/3rd their HP in damage every round they're submerged in water, as well as vulnerability to cold and water-based attacks

Lime Viper and Blue Rat have both sustained heavy casualties!

Our own strike team has one confirmed KIA on Agent Chrome, and Agent Eight is MIA - his vitals are rapidly flunctuating.

Werwolf Personel has been pushed back to the newly constructed complex and mostly contained.

Take a single action to [Mix], and then simply combine reagants to your hearts content, with ultimate product being up to the parts you put into the mix. One [Mix] action per mix.

That's an odd list. How's it working out for you?

>>47902140
I used to play a list similar to this and I sidboarded into delver, super fun.

>Selling such a dangerous magical item
Adventurers aren't known for their foresight, huh?

i had my pc's find a odd stone mask in my campaign. it killed the elf who found it and one of the pc wizards used it in a plan to screw over the paladin and become a vampire and become the new bbeg after they killed the first

to start us off:

My tankbustas can't all use melta bombs anymore!!???

How the hell am I supposed to kill Wraithlords now??

>>47900543
Yes, question: How do you justify shitting up the board with this thread when there's a 40k general up already?

>>47900721
dedicated to rules

i used to post this more often in the past and this thread was frequented faggot

>>47900362
You could try the Green Ronin version of A Song of Ice and Fire. I own the books, I've never gottenthe chance to play them because my players have no paitence to learn a new system and only one of them has watched the show. But I assume the system is decent since /tg/ has been making houses with that system.

>>47900400
I didnt even know that existed. Ill have to look into it.

>>47900362
If you don't like the published ones, drop girls on top of Westeros. It's got gritty murder death for mortal heroes and can handle any of the weird shit too. Also, wacky fun critical hit tables too

>>47900110
Fate Core System.

>>47900110

>>47900110
The Cypher System

I once contemplated the same thing, but just got bored. Good luck to you though. Can't wait to hear how it goes.

>>47899889
Thank you! Honestly the rules are so fucking dense. Takes dedication for someone to read through this. I can't help but feel there may be a few good ideads *ducks thrown object* hidden throughout.

>>47899980
yeah, like rolling for anal circumference

>>47899078
sounds like a flayin' to me.

>>47899928
You know what? I'm bored and at work. I'm gonna expand on that idea.

Our good ol' buddy the Tarsk is basically immortal right? So maybe everybody's favorite creepy aunt gets to flayin', see?

But Tarsky don't wanna be flayed, and so he regenerates.

And not to be outdone, and because we'd have to changer her title to, the Lady of Pain starts flayin' again.

And the Timmy the Tarrasque comes back.

So the Lady flays him an infinite number of times, and finally manages to expel him from Sigil.

The Lady realizes she's getting old. Not old enough to give up the ghost (so to speak) but old. So she takes some well needed R and R somewhere else.

Ensuing power vacuum caused by one of the most powerful beings in existence leaving is horrendous and bloody.

But fuck it, because the Lady is really loving vacation.

Some schmuck decides to contract the PCs to bring her back to Sigil, because he's tired of plane-wide gang wars.

Gotta go to the modern world and catch her golfing or playing arcade machines?
