More stuff for something other than the Forgettable Realms is a good thing.

/5eg/ (>>44755420) has been pretty optimistic about it. There are a few "ugh homebrew" shitters and a little talk about the legal bits of putting it on DMs Guild, but mostly people seem optimistic about it. The OGL SRD means that the system's simple-yet-solid systems can be used freely by other designers without worry of legal ramifications, and that people who don't want to pay for the books can still play with the SRD alone.

Legally, it's important to remember that putting stuff on DMs Guild is an exclusivity agreement (you will only sell/redistribute that work on DMs Guild) and also that stuff put on there is covered under a pseudo-OGL (stuff that you post on DMs Guild can be used by other people for works posted on DMs Guild). So definitely only post stuff you're fine with other people using. Don't post your darling homebrew setting on there.

>>44757382
I'm personally really interested to see what comes out of the Dungeon Master's Guild. And I'm wondering how long it will take Paizo to swipe the 5e rules for Pathfinder: Second Edition.

>Don't post your darling homebrew setting on there.
DM's Guild is explicitly Forgotten Realms-only. Homebrew settings are the domain of the OGL.

Aztecs.

>warlike kingdom
>eerie
I'm not sure that's the word you're looking for. Eerie is a special kind of creepy. Eerie is going through cities and towns where everything is perfectly intact, fires are still going in forges and everything is clear and not even dusty, but there's no living thing around, not even birds or burgs. Eerie is everyone you meet giving big toothy smiles all the time for no reason.
What you're looking for might be "creepy" or "evil".

>>44757144
Warlike and eerie are concepts that really mesh well anon.
>>44757249
This guy has it pretty spot on what eerie is, and warlike isn't that. Even being creepy I don't think is a good match up with warlike.
Bot eerie and creepy imply something hidden and sinister. Being warlike means being pretty openly aggressive.
I think your best bet, instead of trying to find something other than eerie is to find something other than warlike. Maye oppressive or isolationist and aggressive so that they do conquer areas from time to time, but you never hear anything about them or the area they took over afterwards.

You don't

Alignments are almost never agreed upon. But I'll give you how I generally interpret each of them so maybe that will help.

>Lawful Good
The character is devoted both to doing the right thing and to making sure others do the right thing. Often times, as in the case of the Paladin, the LG character has authority to impose the law onto others, as long as the Law they impose is also Good. For this reason, a paladin can execute an unarmed prisoner rather than send him to the "proper authorities" because the Paladin IS the proper authority by virtue of his alignment.

>Neutral Good
I always saw this as "character is simply a good guy, and is not interested in causing any real changes to the status quo through either Law or Chaos". Their goals usually go beyond the people immediately around them.

>Chaotic Good
Character wants to do good things but knows the system doesn't work. A CG character is someone who wants to be a Paladin but doesn't have the authority of a Paladin. Think Batman.

>Lawful Neutral
Good soldiers follow orders. The character may be pessimistic or an idealist, but he's got a job to do and he's going to do it well.

>True Neutral
An odd one. I always saw TN as someone with a sense of morality completely alien to any observer.

>Chaotic Neutral
Rivals LG as one of the most hot-button alignments. Some people use it as an excuse to exercise pointless acts of destruction or violence. I hate that interpretation. A CN character looks out for number one. That means if anything he'll be adverse to starting shit he can't finish, and is much more likely to run away from a problem than face it. Think ANH Han Solo.

>Lawful Evil
I will get to the top by subjugating others.

>Neutral Evil
I will get to the top by doing whatever I want.

>Chaotic Evil
I will do whatever I want.

>>44754790
>Could someone give me different scenarios and explain how the different D&D alignments

the edition please

>>44754972
I disagree with this. A paladin would not kill an unarmed prisoner.

Lawful vs Chaotic is whether you prioritize the system or the individual. Good vs Evil is whether you prioritize yourself or others. Neutral is not having strong convictions one way or the other.

Anyone got any good ways to make Paragon Multiclassing worth the effort?

>>44754017
Not sure what you mean by "Paragon multiclassing". Do you mean a multiclass feat, taken while in paragon, or a mutliclass based paragon path?

Try one of these character builders, they seemed to work for me.

>>44753761
They obtained the cure as a "gift".

>>44753761
The rubric fixed it, wouldnt surprise if either the marines turning into dust only happened in the planet of sorcerers or that the loyalist 1ksons turned into dust but still had enough marines to found the new chapter with new recruits.

Because Tzeentch is a capricious dick-hole who is supressing their mutations so that the ravens csn continue running around "aquiring" other chapters artifcts. Up until they have every thing he needs to enact some grand ritual which uses the artifacts as focuses to affect all the loyalist founding chapters at once.

>>44753610
Chargen is a dirty rotten trick. Invest in attributes over skills. You want to be rolling at least three dice in any situation.

Have fun with Edge of the Empire. Not a hard game. Check out the d6 Star Wars system at d6holocron.

>>44753653
yeah i was thinking i shouldve done that. my character is a rigger with 4 in agilty and a 3 in inteligence. but hes a droid so i ignored the rest. hes a rigger and i suped the ship all the way to the skill that allows me to burn fate to keep the ship from being destroyed. i should have put more into my attributes

>>44752242
Its not ludicrous in a world of magick and sorcery

going "too real" with wound systems is boring and hurts campaign progression

>>44752277
Even so, what justification could one use for the healing magic involved if the cleric's all out of spells?

Not questioning it as a gameplay mechanic, just trying to make it slightly more immersive.

>>44752307
people/things in this world heal faster?

I mean the mechanic doesn't apply to one thing, stuff like that applies to everyone and everything in the world

maybe the winds of magic are in the very air, empowering even the common folk slightly

You have both soul and machine spirit intertwined, the most pure of both parts.

>>44751308
No. You will never unite with the Emperor. Get back to work.

>>44751308
Yes, that's the point. AI does not have a soul so chaos can take it over more easily- souls faithful to the God Emperor resist with His guidance.

>looking for a system where we can be slightly super human, with magic, and kill monsters.

This is what this game is all about.

There's also a Supernatural RPG but it doesn't grant you superpowers.

Hunter: The Vigil/Reckoning, take out all the WoD stuff if needed

>>44751274
In addition to Hunter, there is also the old Bureau 13 game, and Chill. Goblinoid Games revamped Chill a couple of years back, calling it Cryptworld.

Vampire$ was pretty cool, before the d20 shit.

>>44750819
Make the players use pre-made characters.
This allows you to more or less keep the story on rails as they can't go apeshit without breaking the character.

>>44750819
Are you using a premade adventure or something more homebrew?

>>44750819

Nah

This is taken from a VtM Play by Post forum. My question is: Why? Why would people play a game about centuries-old monsters if they need trigger warnings and social justice? What is it with Social Justice that demands people to explicitly state that OF COURSE nobody of them would ever decapacitate a Feminist for talking back to them? Are people really that soft and whiny?
