===============

You are Prince Meirion auk Gwyrren, the only sane man in a royal family with dubious concepts of strategy, justice, taxation, and governance in general. You have made it your goal in life to keep your family on the throne and your head firmly attached to your body.

Your royal father has received word that pirates were raiding along the North River, and your older sister Nesta has been asked to deal with the problems. She'll leave in a few hours and with her away from the capital, you'll be able to focus on any problems the rest of your family might cause.

You decided to pay a visit to your sister before she left. She's currently Aurwain's military docks, overseeing the preparation of her frigates. She beams proudly as you arrive and beckons you closer.

"Meirion, I'm happy to see you," she says. She turns to gaze lovingly at her frigates. "Beautiful, aren't they? It's been a while since my last naval campaign."

"I'm sure you'll do fine," you say. Nesta tends to be a poor host, but she can be trusted when it comes to the military. Mostly.

"I'll find those pirates and ram them into the shore!"

And that's why she can only be mostly trusted.

"It's a noble's duty to lead from the front! If they're not first on the battlefield, how can the soldiers follower properly?"

She has launched into her tirade and there's no stopping her now.

"Only cowards stay behind! Those armchair generals are completely useless!"

No, no. This is not how military campaigns work. At all. You can feel your headache growing already. You need to interrupt her before this gets any worse.

>"I just came to wish you good luck just in case."
>"I'll miss you while you're gone."
>"Take your time and be thorough. The people's safety depends on it."

>>Spetnaz Style (small teams, stealth strike bonuses)

Working in relative stealth, you divided your warriors up. It was a tricky thing, keeping them all quiet, but you managed to accomplish it. There were two groups of three, and one person in each group had some kind of improvised polearm. You had been sure to instruct them to keep to small groups of zombies, and to stick close enough together to help each other if you got in a jam. You personally would be going Joan and an Engineer to survey the bridge, and make sure it wasn’t trashed.

>Group 1: 30+5
>Zombies 1: 26
>Group 2: 28+5
>Zombies 2: 30
>Party: 34
>Bridge Zombies: 13
>Results: 2 Warrior light casualty, Zombie groups 1, 2, and Bridge annihilated. 4XP full crew, +15 Warrior ratings.

While you managed to blaze your way to the bridge, the stealth teams got to work. Not all the zombies were in the horde by the starboard bow rail, and by dividing and conquering you had managed to get most of the zombies on deck. The surveying of the bridge went fairly well, although the Engineer was not doing so well from being around zombies. Joan was different- she didn’t seem to fight the zombies so much as bend them to her will. Killing a zombie by snapping its neck was one thing. Killing a zombie by locking eyes with it until it keeled over from a heart attack was something else. For the first time, you started to wonder what, exactly, you had rescued.

Gathering the warriors back together, you got ready to face the horde. One last chance to rally the men, one last obstacle to overcome. Time to be inspirational again. Oh
dear.

>Roll 2d2o for Command check, bonus for adding a Rousing Speech.

(Spetsnaz Stealth Bonus will be in effect for the coming melee, however Spetsnaz casualty rules will also apply. If you picked IG earlier with the dice rolls, there would be no casualties in the last combat, so I hope you have a feel for how the Stealth/Small Group options affect casualty rates.)

Boand's mood has markedly improved by the time the two of you clear the rolling hills. The better part of an hour is spent navigating away from the borders of the river delta where the swamp mother's seed has begun to germinate. Once you feel reasonably sure that Anid and Onid will not see you, you swap a few bindings and scoop Boand into your arms. Cloudwalker Stride carries the two of you in hurtling bounds across the verdant landscape. Hills rise and fall beneath you as the plains slowly recede to mellow grasslands. Eventually even that pastoral landscape gives way to grittier fare. The rich soil degrades into thin golden sand. The tufts of grass grow fewer and further between in the encroaching sea of golden dunes. Eventually the land drops off entirely.

The thin ribbon of blue on the horizon abruptly balloons into a breathtaking view of the sea as the land below drops away into a shallow cliff leading down to the waterfront. The waves lap serenely against the shore. The tide is high now, pushing at the edges of the cliff below you with each surging approach. You land in a small plume of sparkling dust, cratering the dune beneath your feet into a soft bowl in every direction. Arcs of electricity play across the dunes around you for a moment.

Boand slips out of your arms, straightening the thick tunic she wears as her bare feet touch down on the warm sand. She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear absentmindely, then turns on the spot with purpose. Her gaze rakes the landscape around you as you work to unbuckle your spear from the rest of your travel pack.

LET'S PLAY MEIKYUU KINGDOM!

The Imperial Treasure Chest (aka the Mega Archive. Because it's an archive. On Mega. Yep): https://mega.nz/#F!KA1DHRRL!MGkoDoBdnehHG7D2iXOwXQ

Alright /tg/ today we're gonna play Meikyuu kingdom. It's basically a rules light streamlined and simplified version of that old school D&D dungeon crawl with some silliness mixed in.

The premise is that you're all part of rulers of your kingdom. You do dungeon crawls to finance yourself as you get finances, people, and materials from looting the dungeons and completing quests.

Anyway with your participation you'll roll up your characters, a kingdom, and complete a dungeon crawl.

There are six classes with a certain focus or gimmick.
>king
>vizier
>oracle
>knight
>servant
>ninja

King is the boss and has final say over court matters and authorizes the shared benny resource known as Voices of the People. Statwise he kinda fills up what's not covered by other classes by being good at 2 things and shit at 2 others

Servant is a support class and similar to King's backup function but they're average across the board. To boost that they get two jobs (Subclasses) which helps boost their stats as well as diversifies their skills

Vizier is the smart guy and play second banana to the king and sort acts as a second opinion to the king and he handles the resources of the kingdom. Due to being the smart guy he'll be useful for dungeon scouting and searching.

Ninja is the rogue but tankier cuz his high quest stat is linked to defense. He'll also be used for scouting, searching, and of course handling the traps thrown your way

Oracle is the charisma monkey and will help with negotiation and stuff like getting monsters to join your kingdom. He's also in charge of the religion which is pure fluff as well as acting as the healbot for the party.

I hate monks.

Now, don't get me wrong: there are ways where "hitting shit with your fists" works. Exalted has the whole Greek Myth-meets-anime thing going on, and the martial arts make sense because they bend reality to make it work as well as swords and crossbows and shit. And since the setting is so Asian, and the only important martial artists story-wise are Immaculates and Sidereals, it ends up more-or-less working.

But games like D&D? Absolutely not. Putting aside that they clash thematically with the obvious Tolkien/Western-inspired design of every class (before you say "psionics," know that I think they clash as well, though for being too sci-fi rather than too Asian), there's the fact that there's a reason why pre-gunpowder armies used spears and swords and shit and NOT fists: they have inferior range, they have no leverage to increase power, and they aren't sharp. This applies to far more than D&D, by the way.

Monks shouldn't be a viable class to anything that makes even the pretense of realism. "Oh, anon, but it's fantasy! Dragons and shit!" No. Willing suspension of disbelief allows you to stretch what's allowed by reality, but not throw the rules of reality out the window. It doesn't give you a free pass. There's a distinction between "vampires" and "sentient colors that sail between dimensions singing to the fabric of the ether in order to keep it vibrating at the right frequency and prevent the metaphysical anthropomorphic manifestation of Pop-Tarts from stealing Nikola Tesla from his crib while still an infant."

That is what I consider monks to be in any setting with even a pretense of realism.

Hello and welcome back to Mortal Kombat Thief Quest, a continuation of Mortal Kombat Konquest.

When we last left our ill-fated hero, he travelled into the Ashlands with his vampire companion, Nitara. There they met Khameleon and found themselves dealing with the priests of the ancient Dragon King who guarded the Lava Shrine of the last dragon egg. Despite their efforts, the prophecy of the return of Onaga came true due to Reptile willingly bringing about the return of the former Emperor of Outworld in his own body. After escaping with what they came for, Cao can only wonder what fate is coming for his realm now that the Dragon King has returned...
