Not really the board for this but I'll answer anyways.

1. There are only three kingdoms Daggerfall, Sentinel, and Wayrest. The rest are minor lords. However, the kings have lost most of their control over these lords causing the whole region to fall into chaos (originally the game was going to have the provinces all randomly wage war on each other but this was scrapped). Basically due to the misrule of Jagar Tharn a few years back the entire realm has fallen into anarchy and both the empire and regional kingdoms are failing to regain control, which needless to say is percieved as a great threat by the Emperor.
Beyond this the reason there are so many provinces is just to provide a general sense of scale and depth to a world that doesnt really have much. They give a reason for the world to be large, which wouldnt be found if all those locations were just thrown into say a single tile named daggerfall. It's also very likely that Bethesda originally intended for said provinces to have a deeper purpose but simply scrapped the ideas by the end (Daggerfall was a very ambitious project).

2. The main quest does go to some of the offshoot tiles, Ykalon, Menevia, Wrothgaria, and Dragontail off the top of my head.

I think the only actual swamp climate in the game is in Tigonus.

Also, the independence of the minor realms isn't just because of Tharn's intentional misrule. Just look at the history of Dwynnen, or its allies in the war against the Camoran Usurper.

According to Palaux Illthre, the realms of High Rock were unable to properly unite against the Usurper in 3E 266.
The traditionally important realms (the kingdoms) either had young rulers or were paralysed by issues of succession. At least eight rulers made secret deals with the Usurper to save themselves, and the arguably important role of Lord of Reich Gradkeep was held by a dying man.
It took a combined effort between the rules of Dwynnen, Ykalon, Phrygias and Kambria to actually turn against the Usurper, and finally defeat him.
So chaos and independent rule did occur before Tharn.

Also the rules of peerage and titles differ from realm to realm, making it hard to compare rulers.

Is there any place with a lot of lore and differences about the kingdoms? A lot of them seem the same to me on the surface and only seem different mechanically, and I've noticed about 4 biomes, Mountains, Woodlands, Desert, and Jungle/Swamp

If a GM is so concerned about the characters either Pregen them or have the players fulfill criteria (eg. 1 healer, 2 warrior types, 1 Wiz etc.). You could also stick to simpler systems with fewer choices, sometimes players are given too wide a birth to make a character.

Let's hope we made the right choices at character creation...

/m/ here, may the best team win

Hobbit is shit

LOTR was extremely good, but it's dead now

>>54728112
I'd probably prefer LOTR anyway, are there any good starter packs? Or would they just not be sold anymore?

>still have a bunch of models around that we used for fantasy rpg battle scenes but can't find my books anymore

I'm about to play some small battles with a friend to try out the ruleset, are there PDFs around? What is the best rule book for the skirmish game? RotK?

You mean cringe-inducing, insipid, and utterly moronic?

Point me to a single website that can't be accused of being those things.

Under the terms of the occupation, each clan pays one cow (or items of equivalent value) per two free adults.

Of course, most of the work is done by tax farmers. Organizations which pay the Imperial Government for the right to collect taxes in a certain area.

Naturally, this doesn't sit well with a lot of clans, and is one of the reasons why the clans are rebellious.

>>54727186
One cow per year or per month or per day...?

Terrifying. The imperial bureocraucy uses around 30.000 seers to estimate what you have and what you owe them. This also works as a census.

They also used necromancy to investigate unpaid taxes by dead people sometimes, although the public outcry may make it not worth it. The moral is, don't owe neither fraud a lot or they will pay attention to you.

Yes

The grid is the superior way to play.

ok but at some point it stops being a supplement and starts being a crutch

>>54726295
Well, for starters, there's the Jews that rape and murder the goyim's children as sacrifices for Moloch to attain worldly power.

>>54726370
Yeah but that's a bit shallow, isn't it? I don't want to run a pogrom campaign nor actually force my players to role jews, it's just meant as an inspiration for a regular fantasy campaign.

Man, ain't it weird to read that in a hypothetical future tense

Because they are otherwise problematic, generally.

A blanket ban is usually the result of a chain of shitty experiences, and generalizing those experiences to the rest of women in terms of their capacity for tabletop things.

Which isn't to say that the other gender isn't capable of incredibly foul things, either. But you can get some pretty goddamn obnoxious harpies.

>>54725879
>We don't want girls in our D&D group
I have heard that more from groups with a single Nerd Queen Bee than any other, and the Queen Bee allows no competition. Either that or they have had run ins with them before.

>>54725879
>according to my more-then-a-decade gaming experience
Possibly they've had a different set of experiences, and have decided that the initial awkwardness of simply omitting women from the start is preferable to any potential headaches caused by introducing them into the mix. Or it could just be because the guy running the games knows his players are thirsty-ass motherfuckers who will act like retards in mixed company.

RPG groups can be pretty niche and fragile, so there's all sorts of reasons why people'd limit who they accept.

Use the Enterprise to travel through the time portal and stop First Contact.

Smash her in the face with an anti-magic rune-imbued hammer.
Or a blessed mace idk.

It would be hilariously hard.

People would object to a united humanity

>I did draft a caste system for us humans with races as the basis.

Oh, this is a troll thread...

>>54725163
How is, a united useful humanity using our natural and very pretty colors bad?

>>54725092
Gonna take the bait, this could be a fun ride. I think you revealed your hand a little to soon though.

I decided to shop the first Symbiote's re-design's head onto the second's body.

Also, the shoulder pads just kinda happened while I was making this, if your wondering.

Watch "Threads" or "The Day After"

>>54724492
the original 1973-75 survivors tv show is a pretty realistic take on a viral apocalypse.
I would also suggest threads.

Solarians: get rid of the needless specialization into photons or gravitons.

Envoys: Apply Phrenic Adept archetype.

>>54724490
>How can we make solarians suck a little less and envoys suck way less?
Solarians are fine, they have a bunch of cool tricks and do good damage now that we have the equipment section. Envoys on the other hand...... the only thing I can think of is giving them bard-like spellcasting or making the duration of their buffing abilities last for longer

Season 1 of SFS is based around an event outside of the Pact Worlds.
