How does magic work in your setting? I had an interesting idea

So, there are 8 elements, set up in opposites: fire/ice, lightning/water, dark/light/ and earth/air. Of which you're aligned to one or two elements. But here's the thing though, the reason you're better at casting X element is because you're aligned to 1 concept, of which X element is an aspect. So for example, your power is not that of earth, but of life's will to survive and evolve, which most easily manifests itself as earth (fire's not the hardest for you either). Of course, you don't know this when you start casting, you just know you can manipulate earth. Once you DO learn your true power, though, you become exponentially stronger since now you know how you should be casting and the kinds of things you should be able to do, like evolve nearly indestructible armor plating onto yourself.

Sometimes it's more abstract, like the above example, but other times it can be simpler, like energy manifesting itself as lightning or the flames of hell itself being the cause of your fire. The more directly related your true alignment is to the element you're trying to cast, the more powerful the basic element would be (the energy-aligned example-mage would have stronger lightning magic than the magic of the earth-aligned example-mage) but more abstract alignments have more potential to be abused, once realized. If your alignment is with the element itself, you'll know

We are the Rapak'Eth Dynasty, and our Phareon's name is Ramz'Ka, "The Great Leader"

We wish to slay all gods, down to the very mention of them, and unite the galaxy under our own version the the "Greater Good", and guide the younger races under our godless dominion.

Our color scheme is an inverted version of the Sautekh Dynasty colors, with Gold bodies and Silver ornamentation, with the Green remaining unchanged.

Hey guys. Is there any list anywhere that has lots of /tg/ related movies? Because if you search for "good fantasy movies" or stuff like that, you find nothing, and most of the recommended films are utter crap.

I'd like to have personal recommendations by you, movies that you enjoy, be it fantasy, sci fi, historical or whatever, but that have some kind of /tg/ relation.

Action movies, warfare movies, drama movies, McGuffin plots, whatever you name

Pic related this movie is /tg/ related but sucks big time

(This is a very relaxed quest about a fantasy turf war. Just hop in and enjoy the shitty writing and drawings. I’ll be fun)

The great city of Dahuud isn’t what it used to be. Oh back in the day it used to be… well, a great city! A city of commerce, wealth and culture! But due to bureaucracy and political squabbling, the ruling class lost control. I don’t want to point fingers, but it was definitely the elves amirite?
Right.
Now, each district is in control of a vicious gang. And all those gangs are ruled by a vicious leader.

Welcome to The Lost Island Quest. Last thread our hero, Alan Rodain, found out some important information, dumped a cursed object off on a friend and went drinking with his friends. Now, he meets a potentially dangerous individual.

I'm in dire need for pic of bodyhorror stuff for a upcoming part of my campaign where my players end up in a Victorian-era asylum that doubles as a undercover experiment pen for a bunch of doctors with not a single ounce of ethics between them.

We're talking old-school "let's see if the head can survive on another body" stuff with a side order of victorian-era asylum shit like lobotomy and cast-iron straitjackets.

TL;DR: Need body horror pics for adventure inspiration

After showering, dressing, and eating a light meal of eggs and toast, you attend a critical meeting called by Duncan, which he assures you is of the utmost importance. You recall that he seems to think just about everything is of utmost importance, but it's not as though you have much to do in the morning anyway.

As you and your numerous advisors sit down at your respective seats, Duncan begins setting up a powerpoint presentation. You tap your fingers impatiently on the conference table, Vanessa devotes her interest to a magazine, and Shen does squat thrusts in the corner up until Duncan turns down the lights and begins speaking.

"As you all know, the nations to our north and west are long lived and powerful. As was Theon, which we incorporated nearly a year ago. Until now, each of them had been sending spies, raiders, and privateers to prod us into action, but recently these acts have all but ceased. After a deep investigation, I have discovered something alarming. Relations between the two have decayed, and now they turn their attentions to each other, in anticipation of war. My sources tell me any errant breeze will ignite passions, and with that I must suggest that we make preparations to take action as well. Joining one side will not only earn us a powerful ally, but it will afford us a chance to expand and secure an entire border. We should take advantage of this chance, and in my opinion, join the Kingdom of Solaris to the west. They are home to a religion that would be threatening if it were to spread to our people, especially after the Theonites had their faith shaken by our invasion."

Duncan opens the floor, and your advisors begin murmuring.

>Ask Legion and Shen

Hey TG, how has your prerelease been going?

>Record?
Went 4-0 at the midnight prerelease, trying to go 2-for-2 tonight

>Hoping to pull? For which format?
Sin Prodder, Gitrog Frog, Asylum, Arlin, Mindwrack Demon, Deathcap Cultivator, and Hand Lands, all for standard

>What did you actually pull?
Pulled Arlin Kord, 2 Sigardas, one foil, one norm, and in the prize packs, Game Trail, Foreboding Ruins, Asylum Visitor, and others

>Salt Stories?
First guy I played was clearly new to prerelease, since he didn't know deck minimum was 40 while he was building his deck against him. Funnily enough when we told him the average for lands in a 40 card deck was roughly 17, he said that sounds like a lot for a small deck and thought he'd get mana flooded. He ended up getting mana fucked in both our games, won it easy 2-0. There was so much salt I told him I asked if he wanted a friendly match afterwards. He ended up hitting his lands this time. I still won.

Do you consider it acceptable to give creatures slightly different appearances from how they're described in the books, and how the players expect them to look, such as giving driders extra eyes like pic related, or do you consider in inappropriate?
