You first.

>>47418092
All right. I was 15, it was 3.5 and I was a druid. At the time, I had no idea about the murder hobo tendencies of the tabletop fandom. After clearing some kobolds out, we found eggs. I naively attempted to save them on the grounds that they weren't yet sentient and deserved a chance to live and choose. My more experienced friends disabled me, tied me up, and decimated the nest in front of me.

What is the pit trap trope, OP?

I don't understand the issue. It's a pit. You fall in, and sometimes there are spikes.

>>47412297
Why do we need to? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Could be doable with WH40K: Only War, though it might require a bit of cross-referencing with the warhammer fantasy rpg

>>47408018
Hum. i'm not a great fan of 40K systems. I mean, I do play Dark Heresy and even a trained guardsman needs to be lucky to reliably touch something.
But if Warhammer fantasy have the same system it actually could be interesting.

Will they have to adapt to martial weaponry or still have ammo and whatnot?

Many of her designs were innovative but impractically demanding in terms of resources and materials. As such they were rejected by various nations. But she wanted to build and thus ended up working for dictators who wouldn't care about expenses as long as they can show off.

>>47393935
Pretty much exactly the same just replace painting for magic, Diego's role is particularly interesting

>>47368098
>Question: Do you use metallic dragons in your game?
I'm actually considering the same question right now, since i'll be running my first D&D game and the only requirement one of the players had on it was that "there should be dungeons and there should be dragons".

The only thing i've got in mind so far is that, even if I end up having several spread out in the campaign (not sure yet), that each and every dragon should be treated as "the Dragon" and not "a Dragon".

>>47368892
I'm always a big fan of using dragons as either (a) big political movers, (b) big bad evil doers, (c) maniacal isolationists only to be encountered deep in their extremely complex (read megadungeon) lair).

If you want to retain a feeling of 'The Dragon' while have multiple dragons, make them hard to reach, influential, pivotal, legendary, truly majestic or any combination of this.

For example; the dragon in his swamp lair guarding a nice treasure horde? He is mighty Ilfurix, scourge of the Black Mire. His lair is within a sunken temple of a legendary serpentine god, and he is said to be the direct descendant of that god. His army of snake-men minions guard and revere him. Although cheesy as hell, it allows you to have a different dragon further down the road with a similar grand setting so as not to lose the 'The Dragon' feeling.

In case anyone is interested, I'm wanting to run a S&W game in an hour or so.

Countless miles away, in the midst of an alternate reality where the Void’s Chosen originate from, Aria von Wittelsbach rises from her unconsciousness. Her delicate eyelashes flutter as she forces her eyelids open. She cringes mentally as tentacles of fluorescent light assaults her vision. She tries to raise her hand to shield off the rays—a little unnecessary considering she could merely shut her eyes again—and fails. A powerful weight has tied itself to her hands, her arms, every limb of her malnourished and frail body. It is the grogginess that comes with too much rest. Leave it alone, and it shall spread and make her numb. If only one’s emotions worked that way, part of her wonders.

“Oh, you’re awake.”

She still has enough energy to roll her head to the side. There is an android nurse in a snow-white uniform standing next to her bed. Thus, she concludes, she is in a hospital. Where else could she be? Certainly not at a classmate’s house. Any ordinary person would be surprised at suddenly being relocated from their school dorm to a medical facility. Aria the German girl is not an ordinary girl, not even an ordinary Persona-user by any stretch of her or anybody else’s imagination.

This is not the first time events in her life have played out in such a fashion. It is most likely not going to be the last.

Her arm twitches. Something is attached to it. An IV drip, full of precious nutrients. One of the many facets of medical science magic has yet to replicate.

“You’ve made quite a fuss around here, young lady.” The android nurse scolds. Her tone is motherly, warm. Disgusting unfamiliarity washes over said young lady. “To think you were neglecting to eat properly and not taking your medication…catching influenza on top of that! How you were granted permission to live alone is such a mystery! Why, there are certainly a few choice words I would like to give to your guardian…”

>>47428404
>This is not the first time events in her life have played out in such a fashion. It is most likely not going to be the last.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. No more hospitalizations under our watch, young lady.

With instinct, not conscious effort, Aria tunes out the voice. She lies in her bed. She stares at the ceiling. It’s all she can do. Despite the central heating, her body is cold. Not the outside, which is snugly wrapped in the white hospital sheets, but the inside, whispering to her of the personal transgressions she made, replaying her mistakes over and over again like a sick theatre. She shivers, but makes no move to wrap her arms around herself. The simulation, in this case, cannot hold a candle to the reality.

“You were very lucky, young lady. A friend of yours came to your rescue. He called an ambulance for you and the good men here picked you up—”

“Pardon?” Aria asks.

The android nurse blinks, then resumes her speech with that same, almost infuriating pleasant smile. “A friend called an ambulance for you. There are a lot of selfish people these days, especially now that magic has segregated humanity in two, so that friend of yours must be very good for him to come to your aid in—”

“Wrong.” She doesn’t need to think. She interrupts without giving the nurse’s words a single thought.

“Pardon?”

“Wrong. You’re wrong. I…” Aria whispers, her voice raspy, “I don’t have any friends…”

“Really?” The android nurse says, opening up a holographic screen on her tablet. “The boy who called the ambulance for you made a statement that said otherwise.”

“What?” Aria gasps.

“Let’s see here…what was his name…ah, that’s right. Wakui! Does that name ring a bell, young lady? His name was Takashi Wakui…”

Reposting from the last thread and edited:

Would any one be interested in drawing a short haired fit wai- I mean character? I know it's somewhat taboo in a way to reach out to drawfriends who've posted but I just need to take the gamble.

The character is a female elf who has a hairstyle like the pic related with her ears sticking out of her hair, she's tall and look athletic and fit, but not body builder level. Bust size isn't that important, to choose what you want to draw,

She wears baggy pants with lots of hanging metal rings tacked on, a long sword sits at her belt, the scabbard is a very plain and white looking one with several scratches on it. She wears a way too big tank top which is rolled up a bit so you can understand that she's fit, like if she's just come from morning exercise. She has bandages on her upper left arm, from the shoulder/arm joint to the elbow, a bit stained.
She's wearing sandals that look well-used.

As for her general body type, other than being fairly tall, she has wider hips and developed thighs though nothing extreme, She would be more of a mild pear shape I guess.

Before this thread fully goes underway I’d like to take a moment to discuss a few of the changes to the mechanics of this quest. The details are all in this link (http://pastebin.com/Eq9mum2X) but if you can’t be bothered opening it here’s a brief rundown of what has been changed/added:

>Removed overflows as they proved to be useless in practice.
>Added d100 to the game. Rolls are now split into ‘mundane’ (cooking, studying, lifting etc.) and ‘suspenseful’ (final exams, combat, speech checks etc.) categories.
>Changed all opposing dice rolls to standard dice checks, added analysis system to gain information about checks.
>Added loadout system for equipment; default is 1 Weapon, 1 piece of Defensive Equipment and 2 Accessories.
>Changed how Macca is represented.
>Introduced the Combat Chain from Deniable Assets Quest into this quest.

Information about the Combat Chain can be found here: http://pastebin.com/KypPFgFr. It basically works like this:
>The QM gives a description of the situation (layout of the room, number of enemies, what weapons are equipped on both sides, civilians, technology and other points of interest). This can be enhanced with special technology or magic.
>The Players decide and vote on a plan of attack.
>QM separates this into a sequence of actions, each one with varying difficulties.
>Players roll 3d10 for the sequence of actions. Rolls are applied to their respective actions.
>Lots of writing.
>Rinse and repeat until situation has been resolved.

That’s more or less the gist of it. Resuming regular Persona 2129 Quest…

<THE_FIRST> Gonna give it a few matches before making my decision
<THE_FIRST> I’ll definitely do it when Celeste invites me to the doubles
<Akagi21> let me get this straight
<Akagi21> you said you wanted to give that shit a test
<Akagi21> but you only used your main persona in that duel
<Akagi21> that ippon datara
<Akagi21> for what dumbfuck reason did you not bring your other personas for the ride
<Akagi21> you like analogies and metaphors
<Akagi21> then ill give you one
<Akagi21> its like bringing a sword to a gunfight
<Akagi21> except you dont have a fucking sword
<Akagi21> and both your hands have been chopped off
<THE_FIRST> …
<THE_FIRST> …
<THE_FIRST> …
<THE_FIRST> I forgot
<THE_FIRST> ._.
<Akagi21> three words
<Akagi21> you utter retard
<THE_FIRST> Yeah I know
<THE_FIRST> Girl was a scrub though
<THE_FIRST> She didn’t even last five minutes against me
<Akagi21> dont get arrogant
<Akagi21> its annoying
<Akagi21> and its why our school got itself stomped by your older sister
<THE_FIRST> Great ain’t she?
<Akagi21> thats not the point
<Akagi21> look
<Akagi21> if theres one sin that akumachi kirijo is guilty of its being insufferable pricks when it comes to everything
<Akagi21> sports exam results dueling painting whatever
<Akagi21> you name it some smug motherfucker in the academy is strutting around with his head stuffed up so far his own ass he can smell his own farts
<Akagi21> i dont think you realize how devastated some guys were when your sister beat us

<Akagi21> i knew some guys back then
<Akagi21> anyway dudes were literally crying into their shirts when your sister lifted up that shiny gold trophy
<Akagi21> some were even calling for the refs head
<Akagi21> like that soccer game two years ago when china btfo Germany 8-2
<THE_FIRST> I don’t watch sports so I have no idea what you’re talking about
<Akagi21> you must be deaf to the news then
<Akagi21> its like
<Akagi21> you lost get the fuck over it
<Akagi21> you cant expect to stay on a pedestal for your whole life its just begging for someone to knock you down with a washing pole
<Akagi21> besides
<Akagi21> it was a duel between schools
<Akagi21> in other words kids
<Akagi21> its not like the rest of the world cares
<Akagi21> it’s a fucking game whats the point of getting worked up over something so insignificant
<THE_FIRST> This coming from the guy who threw a fit over online multiplayer minesweeper?
<Akagi21> you shut your whore mouth
<Akagi21> you only won because the game glitched and crashed and you know it
<THE_FIRST> Glass houses man
<THE_FIRST> Geez seems like a lot of guys take what happens in the school very seriously
<Akagi21> you have no idea

<Akagi21> akumachi kirijo is basically their whole life
<THE_FIRST> What the fuck
<THE_FIRST> This is actually a little unnerving
<Akagi21> tell me about it
<THE_FIRST> Going back to the original topic
<THE_FIRST> I’m well aware of my mistakes
<THE_FIRST> So from now on
<THE_FIRST> I’m going to try and maintain a maxed out Persona stock
<THE_FIRST> Assume I’ve got my top auxiliary Personas with me at all times
<Akagi21> alright
<Akagi21> we thought you already did that
<THE_FIRST> Well
<THE_FIRST> Now I’m making it official
<THE_FIRST> Case closed
<Akagi21> there was nothing to close in the first place

This long.

Can't find if this has been asked.
In the Light of Terra Jump the limitation takes all powers and gear, but in the supplement it states you get to take gear equal to the current tech level IRL. Do we appear with said 'old school' equipment or would we have to be wearing it before the jump began.
