So, is Rosaria Gwynevere?

>So, is Rosaria Gwynevere?

I want to say "no", but a "maybe" is just as likely.

Anybody who says "yes" is just jumping the gun.

So what exactly is going on in the undead settlement with the systematic collecting/bagging/dismembering/burning/pulping/etc of undead? It seems very excessive for just disposing of them, plus the text on a few of the items implies that its more harvesting than anything

I know that the deacons are involved somewhere along the line due to their presence but I'm just not aware of the actual purpose

Tengu have been in Pathfinder for years. In fact, they are probably more common than Kitsune in that they've been PFS legal for twice as long as Kitsune in their ever-shifting "weird races" choices.

I wouldn't

But for the sake of argument; a game of intrigue and espionage! The players are members of the art scene in the Jin and jazz art deco age of California. The west is still wildly out of control, with Mafias mobs and foreign agents all vying to cut themselves a big piece of American pie. The players get caught in the middle.

Have the BBEG be the painting in question, cursed - or blessed - by some random supernatural thing Long Ago. Anyone who examines the picture long enough is enchanted by the magic in it, which compels them to form a cult dedicated to rewriting the world to the design of the image's curse (i.e. turns them into a group of badguys), and the magic effects that warp people thusly are naturally defeated by destroying the picture. Whether this works through copies (possibly, if the copy is made by a cultist) or not is up to the GM... but having the party have to raze a certain picture in a well-defended museum or art gallery in some town which prizes such things would be an interesting twist on the usual BBEG fight - especially if the picture and its defenses have been moved since the players started plotting.

By the way, welcome to the cult. Hear her sibilant will and spread its voice to others...
Wait, this is the placeholder image!

“IF I SO MUCH AS GET A FUCKING HINT OF YOU BRINGING IN CONTRABAND INTO THIS BASE AGAIN DICK FOR BRAINS, I WILL FUCKING PERSONALLY MAKE SURE YOU GET ASSIGNED TO CLEANING LATRINES IN ALASKA FISCHER.”

“Sir, yes sir.”

His eyes still smoldering and knife hand lowering, the Colonel dropped back into his chair behind the desk. “At fucking ease. Take seats, both of you. I didn’t call you in just to fucking scream at you two blockheads, though I fucking wish I was.”

Tentatively, you and the Captain drop into chairs in front of his desk, still sitting ramrod straight as the Old Man shuffles some papers around on it. “Now with all that said and out of the air, we’re going to discuss the issue of getting a new second-in command of the squadron. And what to do until then. I was hoping that Captain Schultz’s choice wouldn’t prove to be such a complete moron, but I guess that was too much to ask.”

Schultz winces a little next to you, and you feel your heart drop. Who else but you would have been her choice?

There is a few moments of silence until you finally speak. “Permission to speak freely sir?”

“Permission granted.”

[ ] “Sir, do you want me to exit the room while you discuss this with Captain Schultz?”

[ ] “Sir, may I suggest a candidate?”

Your opinion is shit and you should feel bad about it.

Also planting eggs in their captives who incubate them then die.

But yeah, they're spider-illithids, basically. Not much real value in them.

Now, if you wanted to give them a full work-over and make them interesting, I'd love to see what you can do with them.

D&D is chock full of redundant monsters that exist to be little more than evil things for PCs and friendly NPCs to fight against.

Pick the ones you want, and ignore the rest. Personally, I think Neogi at least look alien and a little disturbing compared to the more comical octopus headed Illithids and their dozens of subspecies.

1. He has balls of steel

2. If your game system can't handle a guy in a suit covered in wheels going downhill, then I feel bad for your system

Cuts travel time by 50% between connected points, you don't need to make navigation / pathfinding checks. Having quality roads is awesome.

There might be a version of this in a more modern edition, but back in AD&D 2E, there was an artifact that was basically a gigantic monster truck steamroller about fifty feet high that constantly moved over the world magically leaving what amounted to an asphalt highway in its wake. Whenever it rolled into water that was deep enough to submerge it, it would plane-shift to a different world.

I always thought it would be cool to use that as an excuse for a trans-continental highway suddenly springing up in a medieval-fantasy simulator.

Being evil (lawful, neutral or chaotic) is not a crime. If your Paladin kills things that are evil just for being evil, he should definitely fall from grace. Gygax did want D&D to have this kind of "hang the evil" frontier justice though.

>trying to apply philosophical logic and ideals to a fucking game of pretend that boils down the whole spectrum of morality into 9 convenient categories

This thread can only end well.

Objective evil sucks. DnD would be better off without the alignment system.

>thinks that DnD is a dungeon crawler

Well, he isn't wrong.

As for right now, let them.
In general, get better friends.

What can you do, other then take over or not go
Post about it after

Limit them to one skill check per scene.

Reply in a monotone voice:

You sensed his motive. It was clear. Or you didn't sense his motive, it was unclear.

Eventually they will understand and leave your group.

That level of scrutinization is emotionally exhausting. Will saves to to not take charisma/intelligence/wisdom damage. Not HARD will saves, but existent, which means that if they keep questioning literally everything it'll happen eventually.

Harry seems like a cool guy to play D&D with.

Whether he is a player or a character I suddenly have a second voice of reason to help me steer the group away from stupidity.

He's a little too muh realism when it comes to magic. You don't let the cop bitch about how authorities are acting in the campaign, do you?

>>47476724
>He's a little too muh realism when it comes to magic.

IIRC, doesn't he play a big stupid barbarian with Billy and the Werewolves?

Fucking call it Gate.

Also, JSDF propaganda manga is harem bullshit, who knew?

>>47475198
Yeah it is. But defending a trench against Roman like era army looks so comfy.

Russia makes a shit ton of time travel books including modern tech vs. fantasy. None are good, though it's funny that the two most perpetually salty revanchist countries are most notable for producing superiority fantasies like that

I kind of like the idea personally, but I vastly prefer full-on modern (military) fantasy - modern tech versus fantasy has too much HFY for my tastes

Of course moderns win in most of the cases unless bullshit epic-level DnD wizards enter the scene

Did you tell your players about your idea already

You should do that before you bother planning anything.

>>47474747
That was the idea of the players, not my idea.

What system are you typically playing? :curious:
