What game is that?

>>44757729
Anachronox. Not an exceptional game by any stretch but it had a decent cyberpunk setting and lots of humor.

>What obscure setting have you always wanted to play on the tabletop?
The original Marvel 2099. I know I could just use any comic-book RPG system, but I'm the only person I've ever met in meatspace or the Internet that really enjoyed it.

You're yawning and stretching, shoulders cracking.

Three of Four beds are full, one being you, one being esteban, one containing a white giantess with a red horn, one being empty but made for a horse.

You peek around confusedly, and the cell doors open for courtyard time which you're awake to witness for once.

You think that's enough of the 'tour' for now, you're running out of places you actually know about. So instead you just fish up the address that Abel gave you and follow the directions.
The directions take you away from the richer part of town and starts winding into the less-affluent areas. And here the signs of local unrest are obvious. Windows are boarded up, shops and inns out of business. People stare at one another with suspicion.
The machine that is Melire is slowly breaking down and everybody knows it. It's exactly as Hiss wants.

You find the inn they're staying around here, straddling the edge. It's still doing good business and this area is nowhere near as bad as some parts but even it's starting to look worse for wear.
You guess all of this stems back to you and Hiss, doesn't it? Even now the vanguard are probably at work to drive schisms between people and inciting further discontent. Hiss has already sunk her fangs into this city and her venom always kills.

You find the three of them seated at a table inside, all three watching the door. A man who is either a low-class noble or aspiring merchant prince sits in the middle, his hair black and his mustache oiled. His arm is wrapped around a beautiful redhaired young lady and a little behind him is a very large looking brute in fine clothes.
Somewhat of an odd party perhaps but anyone laying eyes on them would dismiss them as a young layabout with more money than sense with a paid woman and his bodyguard.
You don't recognize any of them but that's to be expected.

The layabout beckons you over as if you were a servant, a single finger crooking.
"It's about time you got here," he says loudly for everyone else to hear. “Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you?”

Aashenpreet looks like she’s about to protest but you don’t waste any time buying into the act. You bow as best you can before taking a seat at the table and beckoning Aashenpreet to sit beside you.
“Forgive me, there proved to be certain...complications.”
You see the woman and the brute exchange glances just for a moment.

The richly-dressed man drums a finger on the tabletop and frowns.
“I’m not paying you for complications am I? Did the deal proceed as planned?”

“Yes they seemed very impressed with your proposal. We’ve got a sale.”

“Excellent. I shall overlook your tardiness today but you’d best not do so again. I’ll arrange my end of the deal with them immediately once we’ve had a proper lunch. Will you join us?”


>”We just ate actually. Do you mind if we retire to our rooms?”

>”Absolutely.” Tea and scones aren’t an adequate replacement for a proper meal.

>”So uh, who are you guys really?” Ask this quietly as possible.

>”Hi Oster.’

>”And just what does our client plan to do with the financial arrangement?”

>Other

I made a world with a mixture of kingdoms and intertwining politics and motives which the party in their actions would influence over time in various ways. However my group is bad at long term campaigns. They always wanna play but never commit.

>>44755420
My players have shipwrecked on an island where a minor noble is making a play for the governor's position by making the present governor look like an incompetent buffon; this guy starts riots, incites pirate raids, and spreads nasty rumors about the governor.

Not sure if the party will pick up on that.

One of the games I'm in now is an Eberron one where we're part of a group dedicated to upholding the Thronehold Treaty. There are so many politicians we've interacted with and they're all dicks. I love it.

The first order of business the Emperor handled was his trade with Zar'kov. Spears, arrows and bows traded for containers of blood and pieces of meat.

He then moved on to thanking you for bringing back Pex. He had written the entire hunting party off for dead and apologizes profusely to you for their decision to attack you. For your willingness to return your prisoners and smooth over your first impressions, Ungblot will divulge all the information he possesses on the surrounding cave dwellers and the local flora/fauna.

While he accepts your offer of an alliance, he informs you he must keep such an agreement secret at this time. If your behavior in the hills angers General Agus or any of the other nearby powers in the area they may decide to go to war with the Firegem Nation, something that Ungblot is committed to avoiding.

The rubies are a much more complicated affair. While Ungblot is very willing to trade the rubies for supplies from Seaside or your Cerilian Mainland, he does not think it wise for you to bring human miners to the interconnected tunnels that make up Firegem village's. Again, this is because he fears the other cave dwelling nations might see these foreigners as some sort of plot by Ungblot. He is willing to set his own people to mining the rubies to sell to you, of course because of other duties, you'll be getting a lot less than if you had a dedicated mining crew.

>That's fine, kobolds mine the rubies themselves
>That's unacceptable, ask Ungblot how to make it work

wow you beat the mis-archiver, nice

>>44754971
Yeah, had almost everything ready before I even started the thread. I will admit, the guy is pretty funny. Skele Quest is my new favorite Quest.

After the decision is made, you tend to Claudio and Sofia both. You fear for a concussion, but both of them seem to be faring much better than you had expected, given the circumstances. Your watch resumes, though it's only through fatigue that any of you actually manage to rest.

The next morning is passed in weighted silence save for the ramblings of the Sleeper now strung up on the back of Ines' horse. Even though you don't understand most of the phrases or references she makes, the timbre of her words pull at you, melding with a landscape that seems mildly barren as you start moving around a bend that gives you a decent view in the distance of no man's land.

Ash clouds smother the horizon, telling you of a volcano that does not sleep, a product of the Eschaton when one of the larger meteors crashed in the area. Through the distance and pollution, you shouldn't see the damn thing, but it's the home of the Earth Chakra that your group theorizes is the source of power for the psychokinetics; it shines like the sun itself amidst the noxious fumes of the mountain. It's no true light but a death trap of interwoven telekinetic barriers, so densely packed together that no human could hope to traverse it without meeting their demise.

One day, though.

You force your eyes away from that deadly ray and back onto the ashen path before you.

>Check on your captive

>While on the trek to L'Aquila, you and your wayward group of wanderers are attacked by a Sleeper whose conditioning seems to have driven her somewhat insane. After a discussion that veered things into bad terrirory, you decide the best course of action is to let Ines deal with your captive when you reach the city.
No idea what all that is, it's a horrible recap. But I'll try.

>Talk to Claudio or Sofia about [Make a suggestion]
How do they feel?

>I want to state here unequivocally that we do not let cards leak out in any sort of sneaky way online. We don't drop them somewhere for a random fan to find and we don't orchestrate "leaks"; we officially and overtly give previews to partners or post them via our own channels, and that's it.

>>44753081
You reach into your closet and retrieve a new set of clothes. On top of a sweater and boots, you pull on a waterproof coat with a hood. You grab your things from the table beside the door as you exit your dim apartment.

As you wait beside the bus stop, there is a roar of thunder, and a shower of rain begins falling. The few people waiting with you begin groaning and complaining, as none of them thought to question the weather report. One of them even looks at your dry attire and seems to blame you for his damp shoulders.

The bus arrives, and you step on, heading straight for the back. Not because you have to, but because you get tired of people staring.

>Head straight to work
>Grab donuts

holy shit how did I miss 2 Threads? I really hate living in different time zones. Is that Batwing Manor there? Is it okay if we replay it?

Have a powerful but none-too-bright monster chase them around the dungeon. That way there's excitement, pacing and surprises for everyone, including the monster. And no time to check each square inch for traps.

>>44750285
Your attitude, plain and simple, is what stops you from making a good dungeon. Nowadays dungeon crawling is passed as "boring", "repetitive", "old-school", or whatever have you. In reality, it is much harder than a simple roleplaying game if the GM and players are creative. If the GM can't create some unique challenges and prepare ahead of time, and players want to roll for everything and do not suffer from wanderlust, then the group is not fit for this type of game.

When designing a dungeon you have to think about a lot of things. Who created it, why, what inhabits it, why, and at the same time align all these with the setting while simultaneously balancing the game. Players have to be afraid of what lurks behind that corner (not achievable with modern DnD faggotry), what riches could await them in the bottom, what mysteries need solving.

If you want to start easily, head to donjon's page and try the dungeon generator, then build on the random dungeon adding your own stuff and goodies here and there.
