Ten-thousand years before the events of the Spuresworth Saga, saw the First Blacktron Incursion! A galaxy-wide war which consumed unimaginable amounts of lives and left destruction on a massive scale in it's wake.

However, several years before that saw the Pirate Wars, where a certain Leto of Paradisia led a great pirate horde against the united armies of Unitron. Leto however, would soon meet his fate at the hands of a rather plain and unassuming bounty hunter with a grudge. Unbeknownst to him however, Leto's death would trigger a series of events that would eventually become a brutal war on a galactic scale...

We join our hero on the city streets, somewhere near the docks. A merchant lies dead ahead, and the local cantina is down the street and to the right.

What will you do, Headhunter?

Also...I really like Change of Heart.

I always found it baffling that Bakuras favorite card wasn't a duel monster. At least he possessed a duel monster afterwards, even if it was a girl. Though it can fuse with another card to become a guy.

Especially if his first name is Stephen.

i know i always kept a severed head of a companion in my inventory, a fellow PC died and his last wish was to be buried in his homes garden, but he was turned into a demon zombie thing and only his head was salvageable after we killed it.

along with that i always carried a flask of salt water, the eye of the person who blinded one of my eyes.

>How do you handle existing/classic races in your setting? What homebrew races are unique to the setting?
My race only has humans and insane disfigured humans who play role of orcish or undead hordes. Classic races are useful, but you don't have to be stuck with them. In general, I'm not fond of non-humans because it usually results in racial profiling in leu of actual characterization
>What are elves like? I'm not sure how I want to handle them. On the one hand I'm kind of annoyed how for whatever reason elves seem to need a new subrace if they so much as change a zip code.
If you don't need elves, don't have elves. I sort of assume any immortal culture would not be able to normalize through population replacement, lending hand to weirdest excesses.
>To that end, I want one race of elves, with "high" and "wood" elves being different castes of the same race.

>Now. What of drow? Drow are badass, and if I include them I don't want "elves = good, drow = bad" I like moral ambiguity in my races. I'm rather fond of the following tropes when it comes to elves-
Drows live underground, right? Underground is renown for not having energy input from sun so drow would have to get it from surface. Having to raid just to survive. Grab everything and drag down to eat. Crops, cattle, humans. That's my idea how can they be evil and still make sense. Although this doesn't seem like a good place for civilization to flourish.

Do you think I should make coastline more jagged or would it be acceptable to assume in-universe cartographer didn't have enough data?

>>46872861
>I'm not fond of non-humans because it usually results in racial profiling in leu of actual characterization
This is what I'm trying to avoid by limiting elves to just being elves. You have the near mythical highborn, and then the more common elves are vary divided culturally, mostly by how they're dealing with their status as a dying race. You have those who try their best to assimilate into human society where they're idolized/fetishized/marginalized. (Lots of human nobles fancy breeding with elves to ensure long-lived heirs, and I'm fond of the idea of elves being the result of Neanderthals who stumbled upon, and were transformed by, something magical. Explains half-elves and instills a bit of irony to their notorious racial pride) Then you have elves who are ultra traditionalist/nationalists who do the wild hunt/"let's take it back!" thing, then you have those who just say "fuck it, lets retreat into the deepest, darkest woods and try to rebuild our race."

>Although this doesn't seem like a good place for civilization to flourish.
I like to imagine drow limited to the underdark, deep primordial forests, and similar places that are too inhospitable or isolated for other races to bother with.

I imagine them as being defined by their pragmaticism, their current appearance being a result of their willingness to go off the deep end of demonic binding and alchemy, they excel at thriving where others would struggle to survive.

Still, it's all relative, you can only get so much blood from a rock, no matter how good a geosanguinist you may be, and so yes, they're known for raiding... among other things.

>Human settlement is attacked by elves
"They'll kill us all!"

>Human settlement is attacked by drow
"Don't let them take you alive!"

They do make good wood elf stand ins, and total elf replacements

Any tips on how to make a reformed Satyr? By reformed I mean he got tired of the partying life and decided to follow a less hedonistic path. I was thinking of him trying to become a priest or something but I feel like I'm making him into a special snowflake.

>>46869148
Yeah m8 i do believe elves are kinda overdone in fiction, so i was thinking about making a setting with other mythical beings, satyrs, centaurs, harpies etc...

Same for dorfs and orcs and all the other clichée fantasy races.

This guy has to be like 12th level and beating up CR 3 monsters in his woods for it to be plausible that he's getting use out of this style... which I guess isn't too unplausible a scenario anyway. Lots of high level NPCs probably get that way from beating up low-level stuff actually. Only something like an adventurer or gladiator would even want to fight something CR-appropriate - ergo most high level NPCs probably don't know how fucking shit their builds are. What an enlightening image.

Seeing as I just hit the end of the last Thread I'll post this again.

"Not a reply to a request, but 40k themed sketches might interest TG. Just laying down the groundwork for a Lady-Commissar ordering a trench full of Cadians to hold their ground against a Cultist push. Thoughts on composition would be much appreciated, obviously needs a fuck ton of work."

Will any of the cultists being eviscerated by lasfire also be strong fighter women?

I can't get a boner otherwise.

We haven't quite reached the 24-hour mark, but seeing as how this is a new thread I thought I'd repost my request for a character I'd like to play in an upcoming paranormal game set in the 1930s.

1. Her outfit, build and general appearance follow this first reference, with her hair color being whatever the artist things works best.

2. Her pose follows this second reference, with her coat slung over her shoulder by one hand and her gun held comfortably in the other.

3. Her gun is a snubnosed Colt Detective Special, well maintained and taken care of.

4. She wears a shoulder holster, complete with leather belt and harness, in such a way that all would be concealed if she wore her coat.

If anyone cares to give this request a shot, I'd be quite thankful!

I play Outcasts.

What's this "faction identity" you're talking about?

I do like that faction theme doesn't stranglehold the variety, like many games do. There's still strong themes for what makes the faction, but its not like Warmahordes, where a factions theme is beaten over the players' heads, like how every Khador caster is "For Motherland Russia!"

Thinking of getting Ressers or Neverborn. Unless I go for the box set. No one I know plays, so it might be worth it to drag friends in.

I'd like to discuss proxies and the best place to find tourny fooling real looking ones.

Anyone who pays straight up over 1k for a modern deck is a retard. Discuss.

>>46866478
It's very nice in the slower matchups, but the metagame really isn't all that slow right now. It could maybe slot well in the sideboard for these matchups, but your sideboard should have more "Game Over" cards than good cards. AV is weird.
