We've had BBEG PCs before, but only once I can think where it was secret and built up. It's hard to pull something like that off when everyone is around the same table, without a heavy level of involvement and help from the DM.

Also, I kind of feel it can be more fun if other players are aware because either they can plan or try to counteract the other PC or even consider joining or helping them. Only shit players will freak out and immediately resort to hostility upon finding out, out of character.

>>46587368
I'm afraid the rest of the party will find out and I'll have to split game time between the evil pc and the rest of the party

>>46587439
You can do stuff with that PC outside of the game. Not like running separated sessions, but talking with them before and after about stuff like what they would like to have happen and what their goals are for the coming session or what goes on behind the scenes or during downtime between sessions.

Palladium

>TIME AVAILABLE (TIME ZONE PLEASE)
We play like 11EST-8PMEST on Sundays. If you can't make it the whole day that's understandable; we're aware it's a long time to sit and play, but it's always fun and if you can only be there for part of the time we'll figure it out.

>VOICE OR TEXT
Text. We use Roll20, and Skype for OOC.

>CONTACT INFORMATION!
lex.marion on skype, there's a lot of things that pop up apparently. My name is just Lex and my avatar is an illustration of a girl. Leave your skype info if you can't find it.

>ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1) Palladium is a super simple system to learn. If you're a first-timer with it, don't sweat. We'll hold your hand and you'll pick it up fast.
2) We're a group of 5 friends who play a ton of games together. Right now we've just started a low-power superhero game, but it varies what we play from week to week, usually we vote for it. We also have a high-power hero game, a modern-day supernatural game, and a horror house game going. If you're only in it for the low-power super game, that's cool I guess, just know we won't play that every week.
3) We talk a lot in our skype OOC group, both about the game and things that are not the game. Just be prepare to either /alertsoff or join in and hang out with us, preferably the latter because we're not cliquish assholes.
4) Our games are very narrative-based, and there's faaar more RPing than combat. Murderhoboing is not our style, figuring shit out via storytelling is.

New to both DMing and 5e, have prior rpg experience and would love to try.

I always assumed this was one of the tasks that would be taken up by Eldar pirates - the wandering bands of adventurers dissatisfied with Craftworld life who seek danger and plunder.

Though not all pirate captains would be willing to make such a hazardous trip, I would guess that craftworlders would pay handsomely for recovered stones, or even sponsor pirate crews on trips rather than sending their own precious forces.

Read path of the outcast.

Rangers/outcasts, corsairs and dark kin usually visit such places for them to trade for other shit. You'll have to get a troupe of Harlequins to guide you and look after you though.

Also to follow on from this, the way they get tears of Isha aren't as you might expect, atleast I thought they were gonna dig them out the ground or use a crowbar to pry them out of some place but nope, completely different way to obtain them

Yea I wanted to visit the savannah for a bit, get some of them lion-burgers the half-orcs sell.

What of it. You want a lionburger with a side of monkeyfries? I'm not going to safari-salads if that's what you want.

I want to run my tongue up and down over whatever it is she's wearing.

Steel doesn't grow on trees (I checked every goddamn tree in this forest!) and I need some good steel to make a badass chair for the cat. So yes.

Epic storytimes of course

I dunno, but chocolate milk ain't bad.

Your alarm goes off and you throw yourself out of bed. Honestly you've been awake for almost an hour now, unable to sleep due to nerves and going over every possible scenario in your head. Today is the day you leave. The day you will be thrust into the one thing no one who went through life as "that geeky guy" is ever prepared for; your first date with the hot girl.

You spend every second you can getting everything right. Acquisitions was polite enough to leave your order at your door, along with a cooler full of various picnic items and a note that says "12:1 in favor of you coming back with a slap, 14:1 for something broken, 5:1 a talk with HR, 2:1 for a restraining order and/or court summons. Good luck. <3"

Yeah, thanks.

You have some time before takeoff, anything you want to do before you leave? Or just go wait in the main hall like a nervous idiot until it's time?

Get coffee, and freshen up like a motherfucker.

I'll be back later tonight but here have a couple of drawings of something sort of lewd.... involving robot girls. Two versions by two artists for the price of one. Pandora... and that robot from the other quest thing... by the other guy.

Rolled 6, 4, 15, 12, 20, 2 = 59 (6d20)

remember the only option for stat rolling that's approved for men is 1d20 down the line after naming your class.

Baby gray render nearly got slaughtered by the party until they saw the children run TOWARDS it when it came out of the woods during a goblin invasion of the town they were in.

Haha, I want more mother cysts!

If they give us a Dread Necromancer, I'll be happy with it.

Assuming they don't bugger it six ways to Sunday, of course.

Damn not Irish trying to take our sheep, time to show them the longest part of a not Welshman... his bow.

>>"Have you heard about Princess Reagan's six dead suitors?"

Read the Ark Royal series. Self published on Amazon, so the writing is pretty standard, but the story itself is good and the space warfare is really fleshed out. Quite enjoyed those books.

>1. What are some good ways of justifying FTL travel in a scifi setting?
Wormholes or pre-human alien artifacts that have been reverse engineered.

>2. What are some interesting/likely ways for futuristic space warfare to work?
Pretty much boils down to "I'm the author and this is my fetish." It's much more practical to attack crew and commandeer ships at ports.

>3. How do you explain artificial gravity / how does your setting change without it?
See above. Otherwise, don't bother explaining it unless it's relevant.

You're telling a story, not showing how clever you are.

You have me intrigued. I will give them a look.

Hello

>>46566768
War:
Battles are akin to those in Risk.
Once you go to war with another country, you enter war mode. First, the attacker has to roll Xd6, where in X is the amount of base value the attacker wants to use. Can not be more than their max base value. Then the defender rolls Yd6, where in Y is the amount of base value the defender wants to use. Can not be more than their max base value. Then, rolls are sorted, from high to low. The next step can be explained best with an example:
Attacker chose to roll 4d6: 6, 4, 3, 2
Defender chose to roll 5d6: 6, 6, 3, 1, 1
In this exchange, the attacker loses three base value, and the defender one.

Every roll stands for 1 base value. For every higher roll from the attacker, the defender loses one base value. The opposite is also true. When tied, the defender wins that exchange. The lowest extra rolls (1 in this case) are discarded.

Please namefag with a tripcode so I know there's no fakefags.

Technology is early Antiquity, think Mesapotamia, Early Egypt etc.

Other than the war, the game is very rule light, and rule of cool can often win over rule of logic.
Ask any questions to me.

I don't have time to fully commit today, but may I suggest one "AI" nation that'll act as a rouge threat? It was a pretty fun aspect in the last game it was incorporated.
