1. Fun

2. Flexibility and diverse array of options

3. My name is on it.

Cool board and shit that comes with it like miniatures. What you posted looks great. Mousetrap is great, as is The Game Of Life. If I buy a game and it has a flat board with some pictures printed on it, cardboard cut-outs for player pieces, and no actual 3-dimensional sculpted objects with it, I will be extremely disappointed, as I can make that bullshit by myself.

Simple yet decently unique gameplay is what makes a game memorable; too complicated and all the fun is sucked out of the game.

Make turns as fast as humanly possible, because I can't count the number of times a game - any game, tabletop or video or whatever - has been killed by someone taking too long during their turn.

Create a game wherein each unit has reasonable, readily available counters as well as strengths. I would want to do this and avoid making whatever new model that came out super overpowered. I feel like in doing this, I'd allow players to take units they like and units they like the asthetics of, rather than forcing them to buy my newest stuff or lose. Whatever models are most popular get updated more frequently and receive more options, unpopular ones less often. I would also try to build up fluff quite a bit. If the game got a lot of traction, I'd probably also try to reach out to some big game developers and allow them to use the brand for very little money provided they stuck to established lore for the most part.

Maybe they hate Magic because they think it's a tool of the weak, a crutch to use when your own flesh and blood isn't up to snuff.

It''s fantasy you can do whatever you want.

>>45864623
Unless you're a non-magical character, that is. Then you're limited to waving around a sharp stick.

>dolphins can't really be distinguished without trying hard.
disappointing

>>45864342
Give em sub "races"

Humans: sure you wanna go there u go there

"Monkeys": Chimps, gorillas, orangutans

Dolphens: Fucking read up on dolphins bro don't do this

Give em modifiers to stat rolls or unique motivations based on this shit

I'm very interested in two or three types each of Humans, Monkeys, and Dolphins.
The rest doesn't seem interesting at all, I'd rather see more functional divides based on the games actual mechanics.

Choice of 2 playable Monkeys: Strong or Quick
Choice of 2 playable Dolphins: Smart or Quick
Choice of 2 playable Humans: Strong or Smart

And then just fluffed to be whatever color you wanted.

She'll be reformed right?
Right?
A friend of mine said she could be recreated with Nahiri's help.
Please dont let my waifu die

Easy, talk with the guy and solve the issue like an adult.

You fucking child.

>>45863600

You could talk to your DM or the other player instead of being passive-aggressive.

>>45863628
This fucking guy can't be reasoned with, and I can't get the DM to do anything about it. This is the last option.

>>45861957
Cigarettes or cigars.

A preference for pistols and submachine guns, as well as possibly shotguns.

A desire see justice done, even if it means you gotta break the rules a little bit to do it.

Love of strong coffee and stronger liquor.

Fatal attraction to a dame that is nothing but bad news...yet he somehow wins her over. Survival of said dame is optional.

Owns a baseball bat, and uses it to rough a guy up for information.

Enjoys jazz and swing, but isn't really into the whole "jive and wail," scene.

Frequents a whole-in-the-wall bar, and he is intimately familiar with the bartender, who often gives him the shake of the area.

Relationships and duty conflict, and the PI is often forced to choose work over personal life. Will most likely lose The One in the process, and he'll throw himself into his work to try and pay for his mistake.

I did this in an exalted campagin, and I won't lie, you can literally just listen to a single Johnny Dollar raido play to get the right idea.

Just make everyone a commoner.

Mutants and Masterminds.

>>45861740
Is it good?

None of that has to do with Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder, and everything to do with the lowest common denominator and lack of creativity.

>>45861487
Because, OP, they are jealous gods that do not tolerate creativity or competition in their realm beyond that which they desire.

>>45861487
Is it OK to use common class concepts if we add unique mechanics to them? Like making rangers a D8 HD Full AB class with bonuses to sneak attacks and surprise rounds?

>Network 0
>Literally /x/

The correct answer was Aegis Dei for conspiracy and Thule for compact.

Any of the church based conspiracies are my favorite.

Ashwood Abbey best compact though.

You have an odd way of spelling Cheiron Group my friend. But I suppose I cannot fault your taste, at least your best is not Maiden's Blood Sisterhood.

So let's move on to the dice. Originally, I was using the full set of basic polyhedrals, d4 through d20, but I ended up cutting the d10 and d20, at least from this stage, as I couldn't figure out how to implement them without there being unnecessary complexity or overlap.

Each different class of dice represents a different sort of area, each covering a broad range of sorts of places to give people some freedom to interpret things based on the style of setting they want, although I do plan for the finished book to have roll on tables with suggestions of various sorts.

Most of the categories are clear, but a few could use clarification. I'm using 'Mountains' for d4 at the moment, as it's the most common interpretation, but it could represent terrain deformations of any kind. Broken land, gaping fissures, places of extreme tectonic activity... Basically areas that are actively dangerous, hard to travel through but have high potential value.

In this example, I just tossed 2d4, 2d6, 2d8 and 1d12 at a sheet of A4 and, for the purposes of not having stupid large images, compressed them in MSPaint to show to you guys. So, let's roll our dWorld.

Welp, I'm an idiot who forgot to stick the numbers in the key. I'll fix that later. For now, mountains are d4's, wilderness is d6s, villages/lightly developed lands are d8s and cities are d12s. Also forgot to mention that I'm using the number on the dice as a general measure of how populated the region is, although that might change and it isn't an absolute rule.

Just at a glance, our spread of locations make sense. A developed and populous capitol in the south, with developed land and villages to the northwest until we break into borderlands, a broad sweep of land to the west and a smaller area nestled between two mountains. Given that the two d4s ended up close together, I'm going to take that as a mountain range, with the wilderness area representing a pass breaking through it.

Night lords.

Ultramarines are the best at being Slavs if they want to be.

Have you seen how complicated Dwarf fortress is? Your better off just playing the multiplayer version unless you want to right up the rules on how nerve damage effects each individual finger and toe and the resulting effects on holding and fighting with weapons like swords.

BBEG was a necromancer that figured out how to animate skeleton on a skeleton that was still inside a living thing.

PC starts screaming and tearing their own flesh from their bones.

Only way to get close enough to kill the necromancer was to get rid of our skeletons.

Cleric, previously a knight who was killed by their own skeleton and had to roll a new character, went through with the transformation to become a gelatinous cube hybrid.

Paladin became an Ilithid because they only have cartilage.

Sorcerer committed ritual suicide by dragon and became a ghost.

Nice video. As to the question I'm not sure if an rpg campaign would properly reflect all the unique features of donut world. Some kind of novel or smth would do it better imo. But it's a very interesting idea for a setting. Espiecially if the more educated inhabitants were actually aware of the fact that their world is constantly at a brink of destruction and one gravvitional instability could easily collapse it.
