Yes, it's a girl licking ice cream. So what?

>>46348425
Yes, you discarded the card. Jace ability checks if there's 5 card and it flips. If you pay the madness, jace ability resolves first and he doesn't flip.

>>46348450
I just read onther site that the madness card would go to exile THEN Jace checks for 5....

>>46348490
When you discard a card with madness you're given the option to pay the madness as a special action. If you choose yes it's put in the exile zone, if you choose no, it goes to the yard.

I strongly prefer old Warcraft orcs

WoW Orcs and 40k Orks are too hulked out or something

the same goes for goblins

it looks a lot like OTHER goblins while being a lot different

>>46345289

i like the current designs, but yes there is a lot less physical diversity in today's Warcraft orcs

but i guess i want to see each setting with a truly unique version of its orcs

You're building the first mecha in the world.

Because ghosts.

>>46344701
The party doesn't pilot the mechas, they're the group of people in the cockpit of the base yelling at the mecha pilots that they're being way too reckless

The party tries to survive an invasion of an evil empire that uses mecha, with only nomal weapons

I tought aldonoah zero was going to be like that

>>46344155
As a proposal, if you're planning to include elves as a playable race in your setting and INSIST in calling them elves and vaguely keeping the Tolkien vibe, consider making them a sub-race of elf-like humans instead, like the Dúnedain. For gameplay purposes they'll be elves, but won't have the baggage of having to act stereotipically elvish.

>>46344155 (OP)

Check out Burning Wheel Elves.

>Have a literal Grief stat; due to their immortal lives, their spirits slowly get worn down. As they experience in-game things to angst over, the stat ever so slowly goes up. When it eventually reaches max, the Elf is written out of the game, sailing to the west or simply withering away as his sorrow consumes him.
>Even get ingame methods of managing Grief; Laments, songs that reduce the effects of Grief, are an actual thing. You're literally going to get sessions with game time revolving around Elven characters spending time singing to grieve.
>Unique forms of magic; instead of using conventional fireballs and levitation Wizard-magic, Elves make use of Spellsongs, subtle forms of magic that they alone can use by virtue of their status as Firstborn. Singing to gates they can hear the spirits of the land whisper of what lays beyond them. Or speak verses of prophetic doom to bind victims to inescapable fates. Also, singing lets them induce Wonderment, enchanting and stunting the minds of lesser beings.
>Literally immortal, and on top of that, Elves get more powerful as they age, and age is an actual factor in character creation.

Not certain but I'm pretty sure that so long as it's cooked thoroughly orka are perfectly edible just taste terrible.

>>46342039
Well...they're technically mushrooms.

>>46342039
as long as the fir kills off the spores.

>>46393676
No.

Pathfinder because it will eventually cause a stroke by someone who hates it.

Do the ten minutes of research it takes to get a feel for either game, and decide for yourself.

Likely, you'll want 5e since it's friendlier to new players, but everyone has different tastes and it's up to you to decide which game you like better.

Not furry or anthro, just creepy and weird. Like The Pain, but for each of the animals.

Rat could be a guy in a coat that is constantly moving, and underneath he has a swarm of suicidal, murderous rats. Dog could be a huge guy with a big jaw who tries to bite people. Pig could be a gigantic fat dude who tries to crush you, or maybe (for a twist) he's not very fat but eats practically anything, including people. Cock could be a dude with razors on his hands and feet, who moves super quick and maybe wears feathers. And so on.

Or each could be a dude who just wears a mask all Hotline Miami style. No special powers, just guns and anger.

I hope the op are the correct animals

Snake is a lanky dude that can wrap his arms and legs around you and squeezes you till you suffocate/can poisen you somehow

you're not Languid!

Whatever happened in Canada, she’s brighter now from it, sharper.

Thoughtfully, you draw your fingers through her soft, dark hair, resting them on the root of her right horn. You’re keenly aware of the way her knee to rests atop your own. So long as you suppress the blazing pains incited from lying on your side, who knows how long you can stay like this with her. There’s little in this world, or any other that you’re aware of, that can put a dampener on Sierra’s affection.

But Sierras expression shadows, and you feel the muscles of her back tense slightly beneath the cloth of her shirt. “What’s it this time?” she asks, her light voice quiet and dark.

Dammit, she sensed your discomfort. You redouble your focus, burying your pain in peace and calm.

“You can just say, you know,” she says darkly, the tips of her razoredged fingers trailing across the corner of your neck, behind your ear. “Like, if I don’t want to talk about it, I mean.”

>It’s not important.
>No, it’s more that I don’t want to talk about it.
>Respond by hugging her closer to yourself.
>To be completely honest, my side’s killing me slowly.
>You don’t.
>It’s not that. Really. It’s something else.
>If it makes you feel better, I was thinking about keeping my door locked from.
> I’m going to go get a drink. Do you want anything? (Take a momentary break to get a hold of yourself)
>Other (?)

Do not be confused by the various names. I am still the same Languor I've been since thread one.

(I'm having issues with spam detection for some reason. the '='s should be slashes.)

Played Dresden files. Honestly, FATE is just a ridiculous boring system. It encourages you to improvise as a player and use your player's stories as hooks as a DM, but nothing amounts to much more than a +2 here or a -2 there.

I think the 2nd edition CofD games have hit the right formula for story informing mechanics and play.

>>46333974
I've played it.

I like it.

A lot of people don't seem to enjoy it, though. There is a bit more emphasis on the players creating content for the game, through choosing interesting aspects to creating interesting situations with activating aspects. A large number of players seem to be playing RPGs like D&D with a Killer DM, and so remain cautious all the time and avoid taking initiative; Fate is far better at letting players have the chance to run around and do their own thing (mostly).

I've enjoyed the ability to craft my own aspects (and skills, in previous versions) and to make a character that really can do what I'd like to see, as opposed to working out what the most effective character the system will generate around a particular idea.

I like it.

The combat really does have something to be desired but Ive always preferred games that were RP and Investigation heavy.

As for FATE Accelerated. The "stats" are vague and can be made to mean anything.
.
But ive found tweaking the names a bit into a "homebrew" version works wonders for one shot games of various genres.

I once ran a pretty successful Heist one shot game using FATE Acc.
