You are Takashi Wakui, a sixteen year old Japanese high school student. In your world, half of humanity possesses a Persona—the corporeal manifestation of one’s personality as a supernatural entity. You had been an unlucky ordinary at first, lacking the potential to summon your Persona. Then the application AETHER was forcibly installed on your smartphone. It sucked you into the nightmarish realm of the Blackened Void, where you fought monsters and awakened your Persona in the process.
You are now the Wild Card of the 22nd Century. You possess the Fool Arcana, giving you the power to draw strength from bonds and wield multiple Personas at once. Already this places you in great danger, as the Fool Arcana is seen as an impossibility by the common masses. Revealing your newfound power to the common world would immediately land your head on a dissection table. To make matters worse, you and several others have been cursed as the Void’s Chosen, fated to traverse the wastelands of the Blackened Void until the end of the game. For what purpose does AETHER exist, what mysteries lie within and how is victory achieved?

When you entered the Blackened Void to take care of the max-priority notification, you hadn’t been sure what to expect. You made a few guesses: mapping out more of the city, facing down a powerful Shadow boss, perhaps even something to do with the entrance of the Forlorn Abyss. Get in, punch the enemy until it dissipated and return home triumphant with Macca in your wallet and Build EXP stored in the safehouse computer.
Not this. You wouldn’t have predicted this in a million years.
Chikashi, or rather the monster that has assimilated itself within the boy’s body, rears itself up. The tar-black monstrous mass sways about in the cold air like a demonic flag. Claws burst free from muscular flesh and it gnashes its teeth, revealing the sticky crimson interiors of its drool-infested maw. It rumbles forward, each step with the impact of a thunderclap.
An immense killing intent worms through the distance separating you and it. It buries your senses beneath a grave of fear and paralysis. You stand in your spot, frozen like a frigid sculpture. Your vision has collapsed into a tunnel aimed squarely at the abomination, every hair on your body is standing on end and liquid ice has replaced the blood running through it veins.
The abomination eyes each one of your fellow Players, growling. It catches a glimpse of you and roars, scattering dust and shaking the remnants of the bridge.
Then, as if switches are collectively flipped within your heads, your team springs to action.
“Rakukaja!” Celeste screams. With the desperate speed of a man teetering at death’s door, she whips out the Magician’s card and slices it in half with her rapier. Sati explodes out of a pillar of flame, her gloved hands forming a cross against her ghostly chest. “Rakukaja, Rakukaja, RAKUKAJA!”
BOSS FIGHT
Celeste’s last cry almost drowns out the howls of the abomination. Grey aura surrounds you, stiffening your skin. At the forefront of your mind, the undead bullfighter Matador clacks his bony jaw and waves the red cloth. Auto-Sukukaja takes hold and your feel your body instantly become lighter.
“Sukukaja!” Cast the buffs. Act fast, lest your team perish. All warriors who have fought Shadows throughout humanity’s bloody history have been taught similar mantras. Never before have you been so glad to related to an Anti-Shadow Operative.
The abomination tips its head back and spits. From its gaping jowls come forth a dark miasma. It surrounds the entire area like a noxious gas. Escape via magic is now impossible. Behind you, crouched by the side of a disused van, Fumika grits her teeth.
Even without summoning Moros, she knows that analyzing that creature would be difficult. Not only did it possess a magical signature utterly alien to her, it was also emitting an interference that scrambled Moros’s sensors. It would take twice…no, maybe even thrice as long to scan it compared to a regular Shadow. Taking into account the first impression of the abomination’s raw power, then adding in the fact that she needed to be immobile when performing analysis, your Spotter comes to the conclusion that the odds are greatly stacked against her, and by extension the rest of her team.
She balances the card of the Hermit in her palm. Fumika Shibuya did not survive three years of being a freelance mercenary by giving into fear. Narrowing her dark eyes at the beast, as if to drive a bullet into its heart, she steels herself to act.

What are some good /tg/ approved Manga? and by that I mean the more DnD inspired ones, let's try to keep it non-Shonen if that's possible.
>non-shōnen
Too bad.
Obviously because of your OP pic you've checked out Dungeon Meshi, but for anyone who hasn't it's a fantastic megadungeon manga with great worldbuilding.
Another /tg/ style manga is Wizard's Soul, the mangaka literally copy-pasted MtG and multiplied all the numbers by 50 to stop copyright. Basically your ability in MtG is extremely important in the world of Wizard's Soul, as in, it affects grades and job opportunities and shit. It's about a girl who has a dad who buys a ton of shitty cards which turns out to be a scam, so she needs to win a tournament to get prize money to pay back his debts. To do this, she gets back into Wizard's Soul the only way she knows how, which is playing a cheesy blue permission net deck.

Completely new to this topic so I'm probably making a huge fool out of myself, but is there a reason Warcraft shouldn't be viable? Or am I completely missing the point?
>>46198810
As I understand it, it's a question of when you set your game. Setting it in the time of the RTS games should be fine, but doing it during WoW time complicates things a bit.

Which is the bestdark gift offered by the sarcophagi in the Amber Temple?
>>46196936
Ask Strahd
Some advice, if you please.
I am a Druid (planning on going Moon) with 13 Dex, 15 Con, and 16 Wis. At 4th level, should I increase my Wis to 18, or increase my Dex to 14 and my Con to 16? I'm leaning towards the later (since I won't be Wild Shaped 24/7, after all), but I will focus on spells while not Shaped, which makes me think it might be better to go for the Wis.
>>46197009
I should also add that, at some point, I plan on dipping into Monk for Unarmored Defense, but if I do that too early, it will delay my ASIs.

First for romantic subplots and conflicts! Were there any in your games? How did they go?
>>46196543
Depends on what you want to do.
Broken Blade is made for breaking people with your fists, as well as as a general combat maneuver-using discipline (grappling, trips, etc).
Black Seraph and Cursed Razor if you want to go Akuma on people.
>>46196592
Going Akuma is preferred as my current group has some quality trips and grapples and whatnot going on.

>Do you really think kiki-jiki/splinter is worth taking out?
Yes, you don't have enough support for it, for when you don't combo off.
Also, like >>46195010 said, every blue deck should have Frantic Search. It's just a free loot to sculpt your hand like crazy. Also grab a lightning greaves, because someone would love to spike your commander.
Also add Sphinx of the Final Word for control matchups, so you don't have to worry about your combos too much.

so /tg/ I've been wondering what races from different franchises would fit in 40k I personally think the elites from halo would make a great anti chaos anti tyranid faction

Phyrexia would work, but I wouldn't try it given the overlap with admech
