Between the vampire edgelord and the vampire bitch, I hope Arlinn gets to join the Jacetice League so I can see more weremilf. Like, hell, she doesn't always have to be a transform card, as long as she gets more time in the limelight, I'm fine.

So, I'm writing down themes so I can have a focus on my worldbuilding.

>Man's virtues and vices are powerful things

Basically, I want the stories to be about the character's/characters' beliefs and character. I want stories where no matter what happened, they're sticking by their principles till bitter end.
Because, honestly, I see that in history a lot. To me, history is made by those who pursue their ideals or their own survival. A lot of the time, it's both.
Also, one's vices and virtues influence themselves and their lives a lot. It's who we are. I'd like to explore that.

>People's desires/dreams and what they'd do to achieve them

Sort of ties into the previous.

>evil spirits and worse forever await their chance to enter our world

I like the idea of forces unknown always ready and eager to pounce through whatever gateway they can find from their world to our world. Is spoopy.

>The disparity between classes and groups of people and its effects.
blue-blood(nobility) v red-blood(commoners), mundane v magi, north v south, us v them.
I want to write about how groups, either political, racial or societal, interact with each other. THis can span from hate and mistrust, to cooperation and understanding, and even swing from one to the other.

>there are strange and magical things in the world; especially the further you get from civilization. Some of it can be good/benevolent/wondrous, some of it can be bad/dangerous/malicious and shades between both.

Think of that one movie you watched as a kid. The one that made your jaw drop and your vision narrow; until your whole world was nothing but the surreal and beautiful world that you peeked at through that television screen. For me, it was Princess Mononoke. I remember being so enthralled by the mystery of that world, and I want that surreal, wonderful yet dangerous and unknown world to come through with my work.

It's a sort of fairy tale-like mid-fantasy world. Think in vein of The Witcher, Conan, Warhammer Fantasy

Posting what I wrote in another thread. These are notes for an SciFi campaign (also a universe to write some stories) and I bring them here to get some feedback

>>47881017
>What kind of aliums are they?
I know that some of the races arent nothing new, but I'm still looking for ways to tweak them. The most advanced in this regard are

>The insects. They form an extremely powerful psychic hivemind. They believe all the inteligent species form part of their hive and work to achive peace and harmony among them. They tend to be diplomats, empaths and healers.

Then we have
>The uplifted bears, wolves and felines. They have been uplifted by the megacorps as a weapon. Humanity and the colective freed them and now they are the newest kids on the block. They are the "extra help that is beside the point" from previous posts.

>The blue humanoids with powerful psychic habilities (yeah, I know). Their ships and cities are moved and goberned by "Champions": Extremely powerful psionic entities whose bodies have been massively modified. The rest of their tech isn't that advanced. The champions form a kind of theocracy where the champions are revered as gods, and every one can become a champion if they prove they are worthy.

>The robotic octopuses and the amoebas.
>The octopuses have lots of sensors and tools and are the technological/scientific race. They enjoy findig out how everything works. The were originaly created by the amoebas to serve them, but now they are both equal.
>The amoebas are a bucket of slime. They have no limbs, no senses, and they aren' even solid. They depend completely in their psychic powers to move and interact with the world the octopuses still aid them and build some of their stuff. Also, amoebas have almost total control over the matter that enters their bodies, they can absorb any kind of organic matter and build some tools if you throwthem the materials.

Nice writing technique

I need help naming my street gangs!

>a group of krokodil addicts living in the underground tunnels of Seattle, their flesh is cracked, peeling, decayed, etc.
>a group of Raiders with a fondness for dragging their victims behind their cars/trucks
>a group of car enthusiasts, basically. Street racers with a particular fondness for the import scene
>a band of baseball bat-wielding looters, with many of the members being former Seattle Mariners members. Think Baseball Furies without the face paint.

They are spec ops, not line soldiers, extremely blunt and head on tactics are a forte by definition.

And some things are surprisingly more effective and viable when you had a chance to practice with them for half a century. In the quantity makes quality sense.

As to behaving irrationally, as per Deathwatch, it's how mounting psychological damage manifests itself in marines. Fear and corruption still get to them, just not in ways humans are used to see.

>>47838465

They are terryfying and almost impervious to most attacks in the fluff. They deep strike through the roof screaming about fureh and empprah wearing blood red armour and swinging revving chainswords to scare the shit out of ppl who see them, as the mythical angels of death that they are should.

Also, they are spec ops AND knights in spess, the latter actually being more important for their behaviour.

And if this still doesn't suit you, then maybe a setting with kilometers long starships that have cannons loaded with fucking chains by hundreds of whipped slaves is not for you.

Itachi pushes through the double doors, into a large room- filled with bunks, crates, and food, with a desk on the far end, covered in maps. A man sits at the desk, with similar armor as the others- although his armor has a horned helmet, and a fine blue sheen you recognize from somewhere…

You also see the mayor, bound and gagged, over to one side.

The man stands up, donning his helmet, and draws two blades, which immediately flicker awake with chakra.

“So, they finally sent someone after me? Near-sighted fools! Very well then, intruders, have at thee!”

You have no idea what he’s talking about.

However, as this is happening, a familiar sensation pricks the back your mind.

The feeling of your clone’s chakra returning….

Wargle a couple anons on Akuns useless ninja quest chat were calling your quest edgy for what happened last time. Any thoughts? Shitpost them to hell?

Anyone else hate how canonically everyone but the Tyranids are fucked? It's annoying how fucking OP they are. I know it's supposed to be depressing but it's like a twelve year old made it up.

"In that?" she asks, tilting her head as she points her arrow at me, idly chewing on the feather on its end "You have a pretty funny idea of relaxing, Demony, so what are you doing in here anyways"

"Relaxing, I just told you" I say calmly, looking up at her as I flap my wings a bit, making the towel balloon out "also having a little bit of trouble remembering where I left my dress"

"Too lazy to get dressed, then?" She asks, stepping back, making me feel like a mouse with how she's watching me.

"No!" I huff, crossing all four of my arms "there isn't anything wrong with letting my skin breath a little is there"

"Well I mean, with your body I think you're keeping all of the help from cleaning this place up" She says, playfully elbowing my gut as I bite my tongue and turn a little redder as the colors of my skin shift again "it's getting damn right filthy"

"You sure that isn't just your room?" I ask, making her giggle and grin again "And I can ask you much of the same, why are you here anyways, If you want to take a bath I could"

"Bah, hate the smell of soap" She hisses, scrunching up her nose, as her constant, heady aroma of Sweat, blood and dirt washes over me "Besides the rain is much funner to clean up in"

"Did you think I was your brother then?" I ask, feeling a bit confused as she taps her chin and shakes her head

"No, you've got much louder feet than he does" She says shrugging "Besides, I pinned him to a wall just now so...yeah I should be in a few pieces pretty soon"

"Sounds fun" I say dully "Still haven't told me why you're here"

"Oh, just want a little talk" she says, flicking her arrow around "About the things you can and cannot drag home, or leave around my little sister"

"Oh I just remembered where I left my dress, can you tell me" I say quickly as I try to get out of the room

and I nearly run into Vera, as she's suddenly blocking the doorway

"Hey, hey not mad" She says, leaning against the frame "just worried is all, trust me demony, if I was mad you'd know, I'd be much scarier than mizuki ever could be....maybe"


She tilts her head and sighs

"Yeah I'll never be that scary actually" She says, grabbing me by my ear as she drags me back towards the bath "But who cares, all we got to worry about is tellin ya somethings, right?"

I frown as she pats me on my head and raises up a finger.

"First off" She begins, trying to sound as stern as she can manage without laughing.

Alright, what do I need to bring with me on a trip to go find my aunts. Spare blood of course, in case I can't find any myself, and I can't risk trying mali's, heaven knows what it'd do to. Still shouldn't be hard to find some, could borrow a few weeks ...no they'd go rancid without anyway to keep them cold. I scratch my chin with the fingers at the end of my wing as I sit down on my bed.

I suppose Mali could just bring that jenny girl along, she looks healthy enough for feeding. So besides her, the book is a must, some spare clothes, and a mirror big enough for mali too pull that trick of hers, just in case.

Maybe some kind of weapon just in case? Not that I could use it, but...it'd make me feel a bit safer whereever I go.

I sigh and lay back. Can't beileve I am doing this, mom would ground me for a decade or two if she found out about it.

So I'll either have to convince her to let me leave for this...or...

Or I could distract her.

I feel something rub against my back, and sit up and look under me.

What's Mali's dress doing up here? is she...

I sigh and shake my head

What do I do?
[] Call malizeral
[]Go try and find her
[] try to copy mali's mirror trick
[] Procure jenny
[] tell my plan to one of my siblings
[]try the dress on
[]Say Malizeral sit, test how far the range of her name actually is
[] just go and ask mom if I can go on a trip
[] write in

>>47896512
also taking suggestion for traits you'd like to see as choices

Why though?
Seems like half a step away from troll farms and goblin ranches.

>>47890619
Put it into a setting with like a dozen other such remedies. All others don't work
Horn of rhino, fin of shark and so on.Make it seem like a stupid superstition since it's rare to meet people who actually want to murder sentient beings and eat their flesh raw. Since that's really unhealthy and hard to hunt since you know, fight back and really mistrustful of humans, halflings and dwarves because of that supersition.

>>47880996
The way to fix this is obvious.

Doesn't any alignment sub-type dictate alignment? Even if not explicitly stated by the rules, *ALL* WotC/Paizo bestiary entries that have alignment sub-types are of that alignment.

Although even if I'm a LG, I'm the type of player who loves a good story arc, so no matter what I'm playing, my characters will always have a soft spot for the silver tongues of devils, and the soothing voice of demons. Because that's what makes stories interesting, to me at least.

And hell, when I'm GMing, I'll let the party parley with evil spirits, if they want to. If, those spirits can understand the party, anyway.

>>47880996
Nah, cleave and smite evil.

Maybe you just like muscled men

>>47880738
They know what's best in life.

They're typically a very effective martial class with a lot of room for interpretation.

The barbarian can be anything from a tribal warrior to a chubby city-dweller that knows how to get *really* angry during brawls, or a shock trooper that's able to enter a martial trance in the thick of battle.

Doeth thomeone need me to lend a hand?

Someone driven by curiosity more than a desire to help others. Modern medical science may be tame and clean but a lot of gruesome things had to be done to learn our methods.

I'd suggest a field-researcher healer who doesn't really care about the well-being of the rest of the party because he likes them, but because it is in his interests that they survive because they bring him closer to whatever goals he has.

Not blue

Where can I see these cards at ?

>>47880253
https://twitter.com/KimberlyKreines/status/745018813620445184

For that one

Examples would help, I've never really run into this.

>>47872977

I've met DM's and players who are against something as simple as a rogue optimized for backstabbing. You know. Taking thug, rogue, that one class from the book of weeaboo magic, and some others to really crank it up. Which story wise could still work. They just get a wild hair up their ass for no reason, which is funny considering a core wizard could destroy them by mid level.

This isn't a thing that has ever happened to anyone, OP.

Player A activates ability one of Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, putting him at 5 devotion, then moves to combat, and attacks with Gideon. Player B blocks with a 2/1 and a 3/2.

Before damage is dealt, Player B casts Skullcrack.

What is the final board state post combat?

>>47871738
Well, damage can't be prevented this turn, so Gideon takes 5 damage. This will mark 5 damage on him since he's a Creature, and remove 5 loyalty from him since he's a Planeswalker. He won't be destroyed from lethal damage, because Indestructible, but he will be put into the graveyard as a state-based action for having 0 loyalty.

So, end board state is that Gideon, the 2/1, and the 3/2 are all dead.

So, are there any other tabletop games out here that literally require judges to explain the many many many rulings?
