You, Neliel, Alistair and your entourage of about thirty other hollows are facing a strange hollow whose appearance eerily resembles that of the old medieval plague doctors.
During your march across the Forest of Menos this adjuchas came before you and claims that he only wishes to talk, truly an odd thing coming from a hollow.

"You claim that the only reason you are here is because you were curious?
Pardon me for not believing someone I've just met."
Neliel is the one who is conversing with him, simply because she is the only one he apparently recognizes as an individual.
He is seemingly ignoring everyone else.

"But of course!
Since we've only just met you have no reason to distrust me, correct?"
The bird like being responds in a most annoying tone, you can practically feel the smugness radiating from those slimy words of his.

"So if I tell you what we are doing then you'll leave us alone?"

The crow like menos keeps pacing back and forth as he is clearly eyeing up Neliel.
"Let's just say that depending on your answer I'll either leave you alone or I'll follow you if I deem you interesting enough."

"G-guys!"
Alistair finally speaks up and upon closer inspection he and his crew seem to be quite afraid of something.
Which is strange, considering that the adjuchas in front of you might be insufferable but he otherwise feels harmless.
"Y-you seriously have no idea who you are talkin' to?!
This is the guy that folks call the Plague Bringer!
We have to leg it RIGHT NOW!"

An imposing name to be sure but you have your doubts about the guy, he is clearly weak compared to the average adjuchas.
But as you are wondering about the validity of Alistairs claim you can see a black feather dart past you and stab Alistair in the neck.
He starts to foam at the mouth almost instantly and collapses on the ground.
You turn your attention towards Yata who looks like he just threw something.

okay /tg/ lets talk about an overused cliche: ZOMBIES

I really want to run a zombie campaign, I have for years. I love the idea of ammo scarcity, high-lethality (like dead-in-one-gunshot lethality) and the sandbox freeformness of such a campaign. I mean, you can go to the evac camp, or try to strike out on your own, or try to find lost family, try to build a new world, etc.. Plus it's a good way to get "normies" into RPGs cause they all want to try out their ebin zombie survival plan.

Plus huge zombie battles let me use my 100 plastic glow in the dark zombie miniatures. And there's something fun about them being picked off one by one but slowly closing in. I think it'd be a fun battle to play on a grid. I've done it in fantasy games and it's worked out well.

But my issue is practicality. A zombie apocalypse as it is in Max Brooks world or in the Walking Dead, just isn't practical. I will explain more in the next post since I hit character limit.

The sun was shining brightly as you watched the gravedigger filling up the last bit of your old masters grave, Ser Ector. It had almost been ten years since your mother had sold you to him for a pouch full of silver and he got to lay with her seven times, a story he had often enjoyed telling you about again and again every time he had a drink. You never liked the man, but he had taught you everything you knew about fighting and riding, not to mention foraging, living off the land while on the go.

Countless of fights and close calls and it all ended with him shitting himself to death. You took a small moment to look across the field of unmarked graves, getting used to the fact that the only father figure in your life was now gone. You were alone, well not entirely alone. A impatient scrapping of hooves against the ground behind you revealing Dontos, your masters old horse. A grumpy, mean, old Rounsey. As you walked over to him you remember the first time you met him, you had tried to give him an apple and try to win his friendship and as a result he bit your arm and ate the apple. You patted him on the head and he gave a annoyed whine in return.

“I know you dont like me and I dont like you. But it is only us two now. So if you dont want a quick visit to the butcher you better get used to it.”

He merely blew some air through his nostrils but made no further complaints when you mounted him. As you rode down the road towards the the small town laying right next to Cider Hall of House Fossoway. Your masters original plan was to head to Tumbleton for a tourny in celebration of the restoration of the city after the Dance of the Dragons. You had offered your service to Lord Fossoway but his steward's assistance had informed you that they had no need of 'vagrants' You could always do as originally planned or try find some manner of work.

> Head to Tumbleton

> Try find some work in the town

When you, Tsukuda Ryouta, name yourself as the one who saved the cold-eyed prodigy, Takenaka Hanae, from the Cero of a Menos Grande, Ryuu doesn't ask questions or take any time to think your answer over. The blade sheathed in black leather spins off of his shoulders and into his grasp, his right palm resting on the hilt. The weapon draw is suddenly paused as the red haired fighter of the 11th Division closes his eyes.

"Nothing you might say can make me believe that, Ryouta." Slowly, the scabbard slides aside to reveal the polished steel. With the sword laid bare, the sheath is discarded, falling to the ground. Ryuu stands up on the branch, extending the blade to his side. His eyes open, a menacing scowl replacing his once calm expression. "Charge, Judenmaru."

The weapon glows with spiritual power as its true name is uttered, extending and straightening out its slightly curved form into the shape of a spear. When the luminescence fades, the weapon's orange-reddish tint is unveiled; it's as though rust runs along the length of the metallic shaft. The spear sways and quivers lightly in the wielder's grasp, as though heavy or unbalanced in a way that makes it difficult to even hold. But the weapon's structural form isn't at fault; neither is the user's strength.

They're the mad convulsions of an overeager, bloodthirsty beast. A beast that refuses to be held back even by its owner, shaking wildly as though trying to slip out of his grasp and fight of its own accord; like a wild dog gnawing at its own chain. While its movements are subtle, it is nevertheless a disobedience on the part of a Zanpakuto that you've never seen before.

Every ditch that the wagon hits, every dip and bump in the road, sends a violent stab of pain through your guts, a spasm of nausea striking a fraction of a second later.

The road has a lot of ditches in it, countless dips and bumps. Riding an ill-tempered horse from Garuna to the Nameless Temple, you think ruefully, would have been less painful. Getting kicked by an ill-tempered horse might be less painful – at the very least, it would be over quicker.

Still, the constant shuddering keeps your thoughts from settling into a pessimistic fog, so there might be one advantage to this entire sorry situation. You don't want to think about the storm gathering in the north, the first signs of Nodens' return to the waking world. Neither do you want to think about the nameless warrior god not far to the east of Dumas, the god that might be teaching the ways of war to the Seer's followers. You don't even want to think about Aya's destroyed newspaper, even as the girl herself sits opposite you and hums a soft tune.

You don't really want to think about anything right now.

In what fucking realm is it okay to bring up magical girls the first time you talk to someone about anything? That aside why doesnt anyone ever wanna just play a normal fantasy setting? Why do they always have to put their stupid weeb/fetish shit into the game? The most fun I have is with people who i introduce to this stuff who just play the characters like LotR or Skyrim characters, but everytime i try and find people who play a tons of ttrpgs they are nearly always pedo-weebs, furrys, or bronies. I only started dm-ing because anytime I played as a PC i would a.) have to be a cleric because everyone else wanted to be edgelord Hari Kari Sunshine or Tomoko with Spawn powers and b.) be subject to the DMs wet dream of the week. Where do you find both experienced players and DMs who are willing to both roleplay and not shit up every session with their creepy edgelord pervert bullshit?
