Have you guys read this comic? It was unfortunately discontinued last I checked.

Do you ever have the party just miss what is going on?

My party was investigating some mines that were supposedly haunted. They're all level three, so I'm not about to throw anything hard at them. When they first entered the place, there was a casting of Magic Mouth that warned people off. Further in, there were other signs of illusion spells. When they get to the main chamber, there is an ancient silver dragon waiting for them. It does only two things: 1. Roar at them, and 2. Tell them to leave. So clearly, an illusion. Instead, they spend half an hour trying to talk to it, and give it tribute and such. It just keeps repeating that they should leave, with the same exact wording every time. They approach it, and it doesn't react. They cast a spell on it, and it seems completely unfazed, like it didn't even notice it. Each member of the party at one point or another makes some kind of reference to it being an illusion, and that it keeps parroting lines. And then they just leave, and decide to look somewhere else. GODDAMMIT PEOPLE, THE DRAGON IS NOT REAL!

Have you guys also had the party just kind of miss the boat? How did you resolve it?

Now that this is FINALLY ending, what do you guys feel would be a good system for the a SBURB session? Or for a campaign playing as members of the Alternian Empire conquering planets across the void?

So far a system I felt could be a good way to run it would be Godbound, an Exalted style RPG with OSR lighter mechanics. Also has faction and GM turn mechanics, which I'm a huge fan of.

Any thoughts?

What sort of historical tweaking would be needed to make For Honour a viable (and fairly even) setting?

> Geography (obviously)
> Availability of siege weaponry to Vikings
> Development of Viking arms and armour
> How would the faiths interact in the setting? Historically the spread of the Christian faith was prolific.
> What's the main reason behind the conflicts?

I wonder what caused this and what changes we can expect.

Let's just hope he doesn't suck.

Hear ye, hear ye, I call to order another meeting of the Mage Guild. On the agenda for today: diversity.

We all know that the Warrior Union has been making very good PR inroads by hiring people of all races. Centaurs, halflings, half-orcs, the works. Meanwhile we're sitting around on our asses training mostly humans, elves, and gnomes. This new liberal crowd is calling us intelligence-centric and arguing that we need to lower our hiring standards from minimum 13 in intelligence to minimum 8 to make it easier to include half-orcs. I have of course tried explaining that wizards need intelligence and that we're happy to hire sorcerers, but they say that's just tokenism. They also said that "liches don't count."

How can we be more diverse without compromising our actual magical acumen?

Sup /tg/, so funny story I went to a Con over the weekend and on the Saturday I wandered over to a stand in the dealer's hall I hadn't seen get much attention that day or the last. It was a little skirmish wargame that I feel in love with in about ten seconds because you can play as Napoleonic rag dolls.

Point being I went and bought a starter set, the rulebook and a blister of extra troops before actually knowing anything substantial about it and I want to know if any of you have played the game and if it's any good. If I have just blown some cash on adorable models for a mediocre game then I'm fine with that but it would be nice to know before I try to convince my friends that buying into it is a good idea.

The game is called Relics and it's made by TOR gaming.

I've only got a couple of hours this evening, so this will not be an incredibly long session. This Civ will take place in a modified high middle ages setting, with fantasy pulled in. Expect to see Half Elven Mercenaries fighting for Goblin Merchant Princes in the Holy Roman Empire, to have the Dwarves defending Constantinople (Or Karak-Constan, if you prefer) from Hobgoblin Ottomans.

With that housekeeping done, lets get down to business, first three votes for race, and for location. Add any other details you'd like when requesting race/location. Are you a Mercenary Company, a Duchy, or something else? (The Chart is by no means binding)

I ran the Undead/Necropolis Civ last week, and while that was fun, I'd like to start fresh with some of the things I learned last time in mind.

First suggestion to receive a second will be chosen, if this sees a lot of activity then I might change it to first suggestion to 3 votes.

Race/Location!

"Here we are!" Stella says.
"Where is here?" You ask.
"This is my house" She says.
"It's small" You say.
"Of course it is, silly. The only person that lives here is me" She says, as she unlocks the door. "Come on in! I have some tea that you should totally try"

"I thought we were doing something fun" You say as you walk over to the door. "Is tea fun?"
Stella winks. "The tea is not the fun" She says.
"So what's the fun?" You ask.

She motions for you to come closer, and then whispers. "We're gonna trick your friends" She says, before heading inside. "Come on"
You shrug, and walk in.

This place looked small from the outside, and it looks even smaller inside. You see a single hallway, with one room at the end, and 2 rooms on the left side. The closer room looks to be the larger one, and inside you see a table with some chairs, as well as some other metal things. There's also a comfy looking couch, that Stella tells you to sit down on.

...

Alright, this couch is pretty damn comfy. You are kinda curious about those metal things... and what's in the other rooms.

You also wanna know what kind of trick she plans on playing...

Hey guys! This is an adventure adaptation I made of a 1985 Hong Kong movie Yes, Madam, for the Feng Shui 2 RPG. I welcome any feedback or thoughts on it and hope someone enjoys it - it's a rough draft so I'll make changes if any seem needed. Thanks!
