Technology dependencies. They progressed past their means, creating clone vats, planetary defense stations, etc that withstood even as they regressed into lesser beings. Could even be like Wall-e, AI taking the reins.

The 40K imperium is like this, sort of.

If you arent looking for 'stolen'

They're the slave and/or working class/caste, only instructed on how to do their individual jobs, nothing more, nothing less.

Lets talk about Haley2 giving Stormwall Future Sight

>>47333887
She lost a lot bro.

- Stormwall can't get 4 FOC and don't have +2 MOV.
- Lost dedeye.
- Feat now is only model, not model/unit.
- lost old deceleration.

Haley 2 is just the shade of what she was.

I didnt even realize the change in her Feat.. that's soooooo huge.
She's probably still very strong but not an autoinclude inevery tuornament...

How should I go about running Planescape as envisioned by Guillermo Del Toro?

Our party spends its downtime sitting around a campfire, listening to our elderly warlock/wizard tell stories of how he enslaved demons and stole the souls of paladins. This usually upsets our paladin.

The fuck is downtime?

In all seriousness though we barely have any downtime in our game. Plus all the uses for it take "Aint nobody got time fa that" levels of time

He makes decisions based purely on his own personal desires, so he's evil in DnD terms. He may be lawful since he seems to want the same kinds of things consistently.

Yes, he would be good. He may not believe in good or evil, but he undertakes actions and has preferences that see him do good deeds, regardless of the motivation.

>>47329160
>Ethical Nihilist
So he's a selfish idiot. In all honesty is say lawful neutral. He has a code that he adheres to but does so for selfish reasons under the guise of apathetic altruism. He'd be neutral good if he wasn't such a pretentious Fuck.

Hang tight puppers

Rolling a nat20 to throw my sword at a creature my gladiator was fighting in the arena in Dark Sun.

Aimed it at the open mouth, rolled the 20, classic "slide to a stop dead mere inches from me".

Daario?

Escaping the giant skeleton full of regular skeletons by figuring out the were moving to the beat of a nealy inaudible song and "dancing" to it, renderibg us indestinguishible from the skeletons to their senses

>Often rages
>Gets pissed when denied actions or things in magic (A.K.A. Hates blue with a passion and refuses to play any deck that uses blue)
>Puts more effort into game night than anyone else.
>Loud
>Probably the best GM of the group.
>Accepts rule of cool as long as t doesn't blow out more than half of the rulebook.

You wouldn't have fun with me as a GM. If it fits the situation I change the rules on the fly.
But only then, I don't do it for shit and giggles, but if I think the group should sweat some more, the monster has suddenly 50% more HP or something like that.

Pros
>Funny
>pretty clever, can play characters at the top of their intelligence
>Actor, good roleplayer
>meshes well with other players
>good player and good GM
>I know when I'm wrong about something and I'm willing to accept it
>never makes unrealistic or outlandish demands of the GM, plays the game fairly
>doesn't min max, builds for solid mechanical and thematic elements
>doesn't take more than my share of the food

Cons
>doesn't like conflict with other players, always neutral
>sometimes fucks up rules
>touchy about being talked down to
>forgets pencils all the damn time
>never brings snacks

>>47319915
I tend to stick to having it sort of match what stats there are- But, physical appearance is pretty easily summarized with a one or two word phrase, so it's not that big of a deal anyway.

>>47319915
My Goliath is tatted up in holy symbols and passages of the Giant Pantheon. He's got 18 strength at the moment, plus being a fucking Goliath means he's already ripped.

In terms of other features, not much. Grey skin and grey eyes.

>>47311089
Isn't this supposed to be an Indian inspired set? Why are all those characters white, tan white, or black? I think I saw an East Asian guy even. Where are the Indian's in the India block?

This is basically the equivalent of having Kamigawa not have Asians.

>>47311121
India is very diverse. From the outside folks lump it all together as "indian" but there are a shit ton of groups tribes and old kingdoms and shit.

Its like how in anime american a are all blond blue eyed cowboys.

New Magic set I assume? Looks sweet, but I just can't bring myself to invest money in that game again.

Looks like it'd be a fun setting for a RPG, though. Also totally taking OP's picture for my new desktop background.

Butte hold etc.

Even the burds are taking worlds from you

I once played an elderly wizard who put up a permanent wall of force to keep kids off his lawn.

>>47309506
I once played as a Psion who used her powers for literally everything. She was a Nomad, and she teleported everywhere. If she was looking out the window and wanted to be outside, she'd port rather than walk around to the door. She used crystal light to see, mending to fix things she broke, used ectoplastic trinket for little things, energy splash to warm her drinks, the works.

She used Metamorphosis for fun, turning into animals, shrinking herself, growing huge for the hell of it, etc. She wore a robe of Endure Elements, and generally had a very high quality of life for her medieval setting, entirely because she indulged her magical powers.

>laughed harder than I had any right to

Only if we already have a rust monster and a mimic.

>>47309085
Why not? We need more men on the front lines

Cont.

FATE, FUDGE, JAGS, and any other generic game
>Attitude and style is everything, you can't do good Cyberpunk without a game that oozes the cyber and the punk. Plus I don't believe in generic games.

Kuro
>This one looks neat, but it's too tied-up to the setting and, worst, the metaplot. Worth checking out too, still. If you like The Ring and Cyberpunk, this is going to rock your world.

Cybergeneration
>Actually makes Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0 playable. Also Akira kids and Wizard Hackers. Pretty cool shit.

Chrome & Punks
>Lasers & Feelings, reskinned for Cyberpunk. Anybody ever tried L&F? It sounds awesome, but I never had the guts to run it.

Stars Without Number's Polychrome Supplement
>SWN is a blend of Classic Traveller and Basic D&D, and it's great. It has this module called Polychrome which is about a cyberpunk PLANET. It is very much sci-fi, maybe too much.

Bubblegum Crisis and the Fuzion Engine
>Same issues as CP 2020, except less gusto.

Zaibatsus
>Hotline Miami meets Cyberpunk, made by some anon on /tg/, it's a great board game, I don't see it ran as an RPG tho.

There is also Cyberspace (Rolemaster).

Figure out your player's fetishes and directly appeal to them, in as far as they are appropriate and can apply to non-sexual contexts. Things like motherly older women, tomboys, traditional English roses etc. can all apply.

Waifu? Dont got nun for you

She's the perfect woman in almost every respect. Well mannered, beautiful, dignified, charming, talented in everything she does. She's also deeply and irredeemably evil.

shoot yourself

Not until you answer the question.

Fairly certain it's an advertisement, one that's trying to get you to buy something by spinning some shitty convoluted story. I've got an old mini booklet much like this talking about how you've got to stay classy by buying a wallet, then shilling a wallet at you. Seems like a pretty common form of advertising from way back when, and somewhat hilarious to read.

>>47291019
Ahhh, yeah. HYPE!!!

Everyone's heads whip to the side, and look across the facility. On the other end, an explosive cloud of dust shoots into the sky. Beneath it, green light pierces the veil. At once, a strange sensation fills the air. Almost like electricity, the hair on your arms stands on end. Suddenly the pressure of the creature's Chakra hits you, despite your inability to sense it otherwise.

Anyone would be able to feel this thing's sinister nature. Green light flashes all around, and the dust is blasted away. Something flies into the sky, and it seems nearly larger than the building itself. The monster blocks out the sun before crashing down and destroying a wing of the structure. It swings a claw through the dust, and you catch a glimpse of the colossus.

Long claws of bone white on a scaly, green surface. Each one as long as a bus, maybe more. It claws through the dirt effortlessly, creating rigid valleys several dozen feet deep right before your eyes. The other arm bursts through, dragging itself forward. You watch it squash a fleeing shinobi, who's allegiance you were personally unsure of. Looking around, you notice something about the nature of this war zone.

Everyone is running away. Cutlist or Cloud Shinobi, it's impossible for you to tell as all of them begin to flee the battlefield.

Debris scatters at your feet. You're too stunned to move. Shock, from the explosive destruction of the creature several hundred feet from you. As you stare forward, two eyes gleam through the smoke.

>>47291065
Like two jewels, they shine. Each one full of cruel intelligence and rage. A primal force of anger barely contained. Just what the hell are you looking at? The pressure of the chakra makes your hands shake, but a slap on your back brings you back. Kichiro shouts. "What're you lookin' so scared for!?"

You look at him. He's grinning wildly. Looking over at Ai, she's frozen just as you were. You turn to Hanto. "Sensei.."

He's staring up at the cloud of smoke, his own eyes burning brightly with resolve. "I know. Everyone, I'm sorry to confirm your suspicions here. There's no doubt that chakra.."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To1hJ0zokZM

The smoke is blasted away, as a painstakingly obnoxious buzzing floods your ears. The sound of gigantic insect wings buzzing. You look up, and see a creature that you have difficulty comprehending at first. The body is quite similar to a thinner, gigantic Komodo Dragon. It has a single tail nearly as long as the body, and just as thick at the base. The four legs are long and clawed sharply at the tip, and the head is broad and flat similar to a snakes. It roars, the four insectile wings on it's back vibrating the air in front of you. It's tongue is forked.

Dragonfly.

Kichiro scratches his chin. "Huh..? So, is it the four winged dragon fly? Or does the tail make it five? But, a tail isn't a wing, and wing's aren't tails...Is it the one tail?"

Ai looks at him blankly, not entertained. "I don't believe it matters, at the moment.

Panic starts to rise up inside of you. A legendary tailed beast?
