Alright /tg/, I need some guidance.
For reasons that I won't go into atm, our party's rogue has decided to commit murder and run away. Everyone is pretty pissed at the character, so the player decided to make a new fighter.

Unbeknownst to the rest of the party though, this new fighter that will be joining them is actually the old character disguising himself as a fighter.

I haven't introduced the new character yet, everyone knows that he's 'making' a fighter though. Has anyone done anything like this? Obviously a lot of this is going to depend on how he plays it, but what can I do on my end to make it work? What should I require of the player RP wise?

Keeping that disguise up is going to be a pretty epic feat.

You better have a plan for what to do someone notices.
>>
>>46265767
First off, how is he going to keep the PCs from figuring it out? They know the rogue, which should give them a boost in seeing through his disguise, and that check will be made several times a day for each party member.

The only practical solution I can see is a long-term polymorph of some sort, which actually solves your other problem: you can generate an entirely new character sheet for the fighter form, maybe giving him a few hidden skills and abilities to represent some of his Rogue Skills.

>>46265767
He'll need a mask. One obviously meant to be permanent. Like the iron mask in Count of Monte Cristo, perhaps. Maybe his 'new' character could have a similar 'backstory', where he can't remove the mask because of a curse or geas. The mask might be able to change what his voice sounds like enough to disguise that, or he might need it enchanted. His habits and body language, however, really need to change and that'd be REALLY hard. Have him make Will/Wisdom saves to avoid giving himself away by force of habit if the player can't correctly RP it.

Right now there is this sort of trend in fantasy of 'human only' worlds being very popular. That is fine, but I really, really enjoy settings with a wide variety of races and cultures.

What are some examples (besides the obvious ones like LotR, DnD, etc.) of settings/novels/whatever with race as an element and presence.

There's the Dagger and Coin series by Daniel Abraham.

Ringworld by Larry Niven gets into it in an interesting way. Instead of fixating on what the humans think of the aliums, sometimes the aliums will be surprised or interested or whatever about something weird that the humans did. One example that springs to mind is when the warrior alien is shocked and kind of impressed by a human climbing up some precarious thing. The warrior race guy is part of a species not descended from apes, and doing something like that is unthinkable for him.

War elephants in history were good for a couple of battles against enemies who had never fought them before. Hannibal was able to push in the Roman's shit with them once or twice before they figured out how to deal with them.

Plus, they use up way too much fodder, and outside of their natural habitat, their health is marginal at best.

only against enemies that have no experience in fighting war elephants

They will strike fear into the hearts of the Northern Kings as they trample their subjects into the dust!

Is there any more unbalanced, communist game than Twilight Struggle?

>but muh late cards are skewed to the US

The late card skew does not at all make up for the USSR getting all the battleground coups once DEFCON is worn down to start on three every turn. It does not make up for the significant advantage that the USSR gets in the early game which is usually devestating. Certain US cards from the end game are legitimately shit tier like Iron Lady, which protects Britain (never a contested country) in exchange for commie influence in Argentina.

1960 The Making of the President is a million times better and it should still be in print.

It's that time once again, folks, Heavy Metal Chivalry is back. What is it? A weekly (Schedules permitting) game using the Only War Warhammer 40k RPG system to play Imperial Knights, AKA big fucking stompy robots and chivalry set to a heavy metal soundtrack.

The storyline is stupidly simple. The players are Freeblades recruited by various important and wealthy individuals in a homebrew sector to go find an expy for the Holy Grail and the main military might of the expedition to find it. A lot of shit has gone down since our last storytime, so let's get to telling you guys all about it.

>>46264682
Our story so far, up to session 3:
>>
Session 4:

Picking up immediately from where we left off, we'd found a Knight-sized power sword held by a statue in an artificial lake, in an ancient treasure vault held by filthy pirates. We claimed the treasure and the sword, and a brief but fierce argument about who should have the holy blade was settled when the Magos-Explorator informed us that we were all being fucking dipshits and that the sword would choose its wielder.
Nika bowed out, due to being the ranged Knight, and that left myself and Morgaine. Things were settled by a quick roll-off in the interests of speed and fairness, and Maksimov happened to roll the highest, and traded out one of his gauntlets for the sanctified blade. We retired to our rooms to prepare for combat and pray, with Maksimov sealing his private chambers to meditate on the Emperor and his House's holy grudges. He also had the name of the blade revealed to him in his meditations, the holy blade Galatine.

This was rudely interrupted by Tertius, the oily servant, informing us that our presence was requested on the Prydwen's bridge. The news was grim, a warp signature on system edge had been detected, presumably the pirates coming back to reclaim their station, corroborated by the fact that no ships had actually been detected entering the system. The obvious conclusion was that they were using stealth systems to sneak up on us. Our obvious plan, to hit the planet and retrieve the next starmap using the Caliburn Tacitus, was unfortunately derailed by a further interruption.

Out of fucking nowhere, a howling gale ripped through the bridge, throwing papers everywhere as every skull on the bridge screamed in utter horror. Words appeared in thin air, carved from flame by an invisible hand, "Mene mene tekel upharsin". Everyone present had to immediately roll against Fear 1.

do some research on Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism. Wikipedia is as good a place to start as any.
Figure it out from there.

Pre-Islamic Middle East/Persia was a pretty based place, aside from the slavery, which was a thing everywhere. And also different from the modern concept of slavery. Still.

Yeah, the Mongol's and later Islam basically shittified the middle east something fierce. Not even being /pol/ here, all down hill after Saladin

(trying this again)

Elegen/tg/entlemen,

I'm about to be GMing a game of 7th Sea based in Eisen.(notGermany)

Anyway, my players have discussed an interest in having an element of the ol' creepy German fairytale to their swashbuckling. One of them in particular is considering having some critter carry away his sister as part of his backstory. (I'm not sure what critter in Theah would be that intelligent, but we can talk about that)

Thing is, some genres mix well, some don't. I'm just wondering if any of you think it's a good idea and if so, what types of things could I put into it, mechanically or storywise to help make it work (like drama dice for other things besides flashy heroics and witty banter).

Also, would you dudes recommend any additional reading for me outside of the actual classic fairytales?

pic unrelated, though still spoop

Kobolds? They're intelligent, they're from Eisen and they're assholes in general.

Also, are you planning to use 1e or 2e?

I gotta say, storm trooper helmets on SM armor looks pretty good.

The merging of the termie helmet and Vader's is well done as well.
>>
>>46262232
I'll get us started.

Imperial guard faction or humans with a psyker leader that marched on a temple full of chaos worshiping psykers.

Theses humans were found to be pure in the eyes of the emperor and were converted into adult human space marines as a result of this they are smaller than your normal space marine.

They use a mixture of terminator and space marine armor that gives them the necessary mass to fight in hand to hand combat with other space marines or chaos space marines.

FYI, Theses events happen during M31.

What do you think?
>>
>>46262232
Man that dreadnought looks like something you would sit in.

Like an actual ATST

I'd appreciate some ideas for quests for lvl 1 adventuers.

They just came to a small village in middle of nothing. The thing is, they expect to get something heroic, because they play CRPGs a lot.

What are some nice quests for my lvl 1 heroes? Can be silly.
