Posting this for the last time

I'm cooking up a dieselpunk post-apoc setting for a CYOA I'm making

The idea is that instead of a single event apocalypse (nuclear war, meteor crashing on earth, etc.) the "apocalypse" happened over a long span of time (starting somewhere around the late 20th century) because of pollution, global warming, vast conventional warfare, etc., so we end up with a desolate, depopulated world that's mostly covered in polluted/dead areas with a few isolated human settlements left

Think of the Death Stranding trailers if you want a visual / audio feel of what I'm aiming for

If you want I can post a few of the characters for the CYOA I have in mind, I'd be glad if you could give me some ideas for other characters as well

>pic related, (1/?)

>Erika - a scavenger, cutthroat and bandit with a secret heart of gold, who lives in the semi-abandoned suburbs of an city of the old world, and protects its inhabitants from mercenaries and soldiers travelling in the area; fights gracefully with two knives, using stealth and agility to overcome powerful foes

>(2/?)

>Hod - a member of a group of soldiers from the old world who became biologically immortal thanks to cybernetics and occult rituals and now operate as a mixture between mercenaries and death-cult templar knights; fights with brutal relentlessness, using his blade, his wrist mounted gun, and deadly blood magic

What's your favorite mechanic?

>>54798891
Probably Flashback.

The new curses threw me for a loop, but I think I get them now.
So when you attack the cursed player, you get the thing.
When someone else attacks the cursed player, they get the thing and you get the thing.
Right?

Start charging sixty dollarydoos for a single plastic model when you can get a whole box set plus extras for that price in a system like Malifaux.

Primarchs are tools. That's the point. Treating them like humans always was a mistake.

Glad you liked it Anon. Had a fun time going through the age categories and figuring out what a dragon would be up to in each. I figured since magic was based around the Dragon's habitat, setting one up in an urban area would lead to accademic studied styles of magic for things like Warding, Illusions and Transmutations to play the social aspects up.

Then, when you've got the whole system pretty much self-sustaining and feeding you money, it's time to live the life of the idle rich and go Adventure!...except draconic lifespans and immortality kinda leave that sorta thing behind by the time you've set yourself up right, so now it's called something else.

After spending ten minutes searching through my laptop I learnt I made the cyoa on my desktop... sorry to keep you waiting.

btw that's a toptier fantasy, anon.

That thing that they never originally were? Regardless, don't use elves or any other generic DnD "human with very slight differences" race. Problem solved.

What needs fixing? They're fine, subsets and all.

>>54795357
>erase all retarded subtypes

Not quite. A lot of the problems with elf culture can be solved by changing elf types into different nations/cultures, and removing the part where they all look visibly different from each other.

Drow? Ridiculous. Laughable. Elves that live underground and want to rule everybody and eat their children? That part is cool. Keep that, take out how they're essentially a different race from regular Elves

Requesting my arcane aristocratic character.

His armor and clothing is a combination of the 2 referenced images, and he wears a full mask/helmet. He doesn't carry any weapons.

This comic, but the two figures being contrasted are a Tolkien orc and a Warcraft/Warhammer orc.

Why the fuck not? Any setting can be cozy, mate, even apocalyptic (depends how you do it though).

>>54791735
I always thought cyberpunk looked more post apocalyptic. A little more like fallout. Maybe I'm thinking about the slums?

So are the rich people in cyperpunk land living in technocolor apartments and the people I'm thinking about live underneath them?

>check out the movie Rock and Rule (also knows as "Ring of Fire" in Canada)

kick ass psuedo-cyberpunk animation from the early 80's

Yes, and yes.

>>54791735
Only if you're right at the top of the pile, and even then you'll have problems with those below you trying to kill you off so they can be on top. So, no.

I absolutely despise every p&p rpg I've ever ran.

On average, my many players have been an unbearable, almost baffling, combination of annoyingly stupid, self-loathing, and narcissistic.

I only run games for you losers because every couple of months or so, I somehow feel pity.

>>54790130
I only prep about 10% of my games content the rest I make on the fly. The players have yet to catch on, but it's only a matter of time.

I cheated on a CCG once to beat this total asshole who would always win, but was always an asshole about it. I know it's not a good reason, which is why I am ashamed of it.

"I surrender"
As a martial in PF I mastered it.

Sanctuary+Spirit Guardians+Dodge. I made a gentleman's agreement with my DM to never use it, except for extremely dangerous situations.

>>54780296
Bicycle kicking security guards after base jumping off the roof of a sky scraper and using a wing suit with mini parachute to glide two city blocks, then launching himself into melee with the rest of the SWAT team.

I'm not making this up. Pink Mohawk games of Shadowrun can really go off the rails.

>>54779293
>The characters are everymen of their races who end up becoming renowned heroes with powerful abilities and their own armies through their deeds

No. This was never the case. Your average elf is not a fighter/wizard hybrid. Your average human has 0% chance to hide in shadows or climb sheer surfaces like a thief (and the thief is one of the weakest classes!). The Cleric is the chosen of his God. The Fighter is a step above your town guard in both training and potential.

>Everyone is some sort of special adventurer with an one-in-a-million background.

Yes, such snowflake background like "Noble" or "Merchant".

>>54779293
>Everyone is some sort of special adventurer with an one-in-a-million background.
only if you choose to be, 5e backgrounds still have favorites like hermit, criminal, soldier so you can still make an everyman if you want to be

>they only change in that they're barely able to kill a man at first level and they end up blowing up kingdoms by their last one.
at level 1 they are already stronger than a run of the mill guard

Any good summer sales on?

Anyone interested in a Gundam-esque wargame? I'm in the process of writing one now. It's made to be simple and fast to play. If you have any ideas please share them and I might add them in.
