I pondering the idea of running a game more in the vein and style of folk myth and stories. Small magic, and small stories, Local beings, and tests of wit where 'heroes' are closer to the bottom than the top, and are often not particularly capable.
But then i realized i have no idea what sort of system would even support that type of game, I figure it would be one of the more narrative ones, but i would defiantly still want some actual meat to the game itself, just not necessarily combat
Do you guys have any ideas?
"I'm pondering" dammit i thought i caught all the errors.
I haven't a scoobie about what system you could use, but I would recommend Mushishi as something you should watch to get an idea for the atmosphere and such, even if not the actual stories.
>>46202194
Mushishi, as well as a book on Russian & Eastern European folklore are actually two of the main things that inspired the idea
excuse me /tg/ but if Sisters of Battle already have power armor why can't they have black carapaces and venomous saliva glands or whatever
>>46201414
Because you don't understand how any of that works, dickweasel.
Because there is not enough demand for a gender-bent space marine faction
>>46201414
It's a shittier version of marine armour - as per witch hunters codex it doesn't have integrated life support etc
That's why they have those sabbat helms
Your half-orc girlfriend is planning to introduce you to her orcishmother.
How do you prepare?
Jerk off before we go so that I'll last longer.
>>46200363
Depends on setting.
>>46200363
Well ain't this swell. Better pack my bandages and splints, someone is gonna break their leg.
Arcane magic, divine magic, truename magic, shadow-casting magic... All of it is inferior to blue magic.
>>46199934
fuck yeah
>>46199934
I don't think any of those require being punched in the face to learn how to punch people in the face.
I'd much rather she cast blew magic.
As in, she blows me.

That said, it's probably so he knows what shape the shapeshifting sirens take when they try to lure your ship onto the rocks.
>>46199359
I do hope so, setting looks interesting but I'm fearing I'll enter someone's magical realm.
>>46199476
I honestly don't understand how you can play in a game and only just realize, halfway into a session, that the GM is going to try and magical realm you all.
Every time a game has ended up like that for me you can tell from the second you speak to the guy that he's going to spring his m-preg fetish on you all in the 2nd session.
Hell, a few times I've even called it from adding the guy on skype.
What visual cues make a lich look clearly like a lich? There are lots of zombie, skeletons and undead out there. Is undead wizard really all you can do?
I am designing a character and while I want him to clearly be a lich, I can't have him look like a traditional wizard.
>>46199311
A floating skeleton.Made of skeletons.
In a skeleton-like armor over a robe.Armor is too made of skeletons.The pattern on the robe is skeletons.
With a large staffMade of skeletons melted together.
Give him some dignity.
Not just through clothing, but through his posture, standing straight, jaw not dislocated, no limping.
His bones are in top condition, sparkly white.
His wardrobe either what is left of his favorite dress from when he was alive (now old and raggedy but you can tell that it used to be high-class material) or have him wear clean and expensive stuff.
Glowing eyes, ornate robes and long ass monologue.
Good news /tg/! You've been chosen by the gods to accomplish a heroic quest to save the world!
The bad news is you've caught the attention of the greek gods, and they're sending you to slay Typhon once and for all. You've particularly favored by one god in particular who will grant you a boon and other blrssings through out your journey, but whose shenanigans and drama you'll is often get caught up in.
Which Greek god wil guide you?
>>46199029
Hades.
>>46199029
Hephaestus or Hades. They're pretty much the only two guys who aren't complete dicks to everyone.
Zeus. Gonna fuck bitches, slay monsters, and ascend
What's the standard imperial procedure for encountering new planets with already existing human populations?And could it make a good dark heresy campaign?
>>46198784
>What's the standard imperial procedure for encountering new planets with already existing human populations?
They get proselytized. Which means really just that the Ecclessiarchy gets to erect buildings there and they need to say PRAISE DA EMPRAH here and there. All things considered the IoM is fairly forgiving in terms of religion despite being Catholic space nazis.
>>46198784
>What's the standard imperial procedure for encountering new planets with already existing human populations?
Exterminatus.
They were heretics anyway, probably.
Send troops to make sure the fucks pay their taxes and some missionaries who'll take the native beliefs and adapt them to, "but it was actually the Emps the whole time - if you disagree I burn you to death."
My LG paladin just got his alignment reversed and I have no idea what to do with him now. Is there anything I could do to salvage the situation besides retiring the character?
>>46198465
Tell your DM he's a dick for forcing personality changes you aren't comfortable with on you. Some things shouldn't be done without player consent.
>>46198465
it's rape, OP
go to your college counsellor and get him arrested
>>46198465
Why was your alignment switched? Any context? If he just wanted to switch it, bring it up with him. If you murder raped 40 orphans, that's your problem.
GMs.
Your players walk into a town.
They want to know what establishments the locale has.
Do you have a list written down? Do you improvise a few places? Do you ask them where they'd like to go and roll to see if it's there?
>rolling to see if an establishment exists
What kind of shit..?
I usually just come up with something on the spot.
I'll usually throw in three taverns, two general shops, two specialty shops (usually one apothecary and one blacksmith), and one highly influential "guild".
One one rare occasion, I threw in a subplot about two rival candy shops - one with an assortment of candies and pastries and another with a monopoly on the bon-bon industry.
>>46198241
It depends. What is the size of the town? Where is it located both geographically and culturally? What background does the town have? I usually have most of these questions answered before my players enter the town and then pull different establishments out my ass from there. I always keep the basic Tavern/Inns, Blacksmiths etc though.
Sometimes I like to fuck around with players and tell them that each Blacksmith has different stats, they then spend ungodly amounts of time comparing the blacksmith's wears and rolling for investigation/insight to try find the best smith to craft their equipment.
>>46198241
>They want to know what establishments the locale has
Then they can roleplay investigating the town. If they want life on easy mode, they can just say "I go to the nearest blacksmith's shop" (assuming we're talking about medieval fantasy here).
I do have a list of NPC names on hand, so that I can give a name to anybody they interact with. A guard, a prostitute, a blacksmith, their next sworn enemy, or whatever.
Ditto for the names of taverns or inns, since I figure that's the only business that really has to have a memorable name.
Otherwise I just wing it. If I really want a place to have a unique flavor (like a major city at the center of the campaign), I'll come up with several iconic locations, and work a little harder on creating a local flavor.
What does it say guys? What clue did Tamiyo left behind for Jace?
