Fantasy, sci fi and everything in between, this is a thread for posting art of weaponry. Things like shields and wands also count.
I'm looking for some art for legendary low-fantasy weapons, things with realistic proportions/practical shapes while still being obviously outstanding eg extreme ornamentation, obvious magical effects ect.

i just started a 4th ed game and the players are in a town called Winterhaven (Keep on the Shadowfell module) but my problem is in game money, how much should things cost?
a stay at the in is 8gp and armor might be 120gp but the price of a potion is 10gp so whats the point in having copper, silver and platinum?
TLDR: HOW MUCH SHOULD I CHARGE FOR ITEMS LIKE FOOD, ARMOR, POTIONS, HORSES AND WHAT WOULD A LITTLE TOWN HAVE TO OFFER?

You give your char a very specific and difficult task. If he manages to get it before reaching level 20 he automatically ascends to that level, if on the contrary he makes to level 20 without reaching that dream then the character enters into a depression and dies.

Well meaning charlatan Otis B. Driftwood meets aspiring singer Ricardo, who is determined to win the love of fellow performer Rosa. Aided by the illiterate but cunning Fiorello and otherwise mute harpist Tomasso, Otis attempts to unite the young couple, but faces opposition from the preening star Lassparri, who also has his sights on Rosa whilst he plans to use an Opera performance of The King in Yellow to summon forth Hastur from his undead and alien city. Traveling from Italy to New York, Otis and friends rally to try and win the day.
Along the way there are dangers at sea, shenanigans, chicanery, and legal debate.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I HATE ENAMEL PAINTS!
Why did they do enamels, they barely have any coverage at all, and go on thick and clumpy, thinning it down makes it worse, what the hell? Are enamels cheaper than acrylics? Is it a safety thing?

Acrylics are as safe as it gets. Enamels tend to require comparatively nasty stuff for brush cleaning.

Could probably swing either way, but it certainly seems like they got a cheap batch of enamels here.

What are some nice non-traditional settings? I think those are pretty neat.
I'm a big fan of the Endless series' Auriga. It's from a video game, not anything /tg/, though I feel it could be a neat setting for a pen and paper game.
Auriga is a planet left in turmoil from the acts of an ancient race known as the Endless, they used it as a testing grounds and a research facility. In the events of the game Dungeon of the Endless, humans arrive on the planet from a crashed prison ship, these prisoners and crew members go onto to become the inhabitants of this planet, alongside a few other sentients, with the Draken, a race of humanoid dragons, being the only true native sentients of the planet, other species being aliens or products of genetic manipulation done by the Endless.
All magic in the universe stems from what they call dust, which also happens to be the universe's currency. Dust is actually a creation of the Endless, a type of nanomachine that reacts to those who know how to manipulate it, giving the impression of magic.
A lot of seemingly fantasy things have a sci-fi explanation to them, the massive bunker complex the Vaulters live in are the labs and facilities of the Endless, the Haunts, a minor faction of ghosts are actually the corrupted remnants of the Virtual Endless, a faction of the Endless that used dust to turn themselves into beings of energy and data, the Broken Lords are a faction that consists of animated suits of armor, sustained by the consumption of dust, or the life energy of living beings, they were reduced to this state by a mistake while researching dust, and had managed to virtualize themselves in the same way the Endless did, but without the proper technology to manage such a thing. Without a computer or anything to house their personalities they become bound to the only thing they had, suits of armor. The Cultists are a race of old Endless robots, commanded by their Queen, who is really an insane AI built to manage to worker bots.

Well it all depends on what you call "traditional".
GURPS Infinite Worlds is pretty awesome IMO because you can segue into it from pretty much any other game, and use it as a framework to have any two games cross over.
Transhuman Space was non-traditional.... right up until games inspired by it came out (adding more edgy and magical gaming elements to make it more mainstream).
The more alien a setting, the more you need fiction to anchor it.

Why not people to quests all the time. 3d6 abilities down the list, roll for equipment, pick a class, slap a name on that and down the hill we go.

You could but it would be stupid to do it here instead of literally any other platform designed for roleplaying or even just an IRC channel.
Unless you want to point at your trip and say "HEY LOOK AT ME I DID THAT THING YOU GUYS SHOULD TREAT ME LIKE I'M IMPORTANT." In which case, see the first part of my post re: being stupid.

You technically could, but it'd be like an exclusive quest, which would piss off people more than usual. At least with a normal quest, anyone at all can participate.

Ambassador Anon, when we agreed to help uplift your species by giving you our technology regarding genetic engineering, we were under the impression that it would be used to help wipe out disease and extend the lifespan of the average man and woman. However, a cursory glance at your "internet" and "television" reveals that your people are using it primarily to turn themselves into "catgirls." Please explain.

Sounds good to me
What's a good reason for a party of people who have nothing in common to come together?
The party consists of one of the king's knights and one of his spies, a religious pirate, an undead wizard, and a soul bound to a suit of armor.
Originally I was going to have the King's advisor have a divine premonition that would show that these guys were destined to alter the world, but due to changing around the setting's religion that wouldn't work out as well (plus I don't care for the lazy destiny reason).
So what sort of reasoning could pull people from different corners of the world who don't know each other to come help a king with an urgent mission?

Perhaps you could have some sort of tourney/trial with the promise of a prize. Have the participants divided in groups, one of them being the PCs obviously. When they win reveal it was a ploy to gather capable warriors for the task at hand.
>>
>>44482868
Details on the soul? Maybe he's a relation of the King bound to the armor, the wizard is hired as a necromatic advisor, the pirate to keep an eye on the necromancer
>>
>>44482897
I was thinking along those lines. Perhaps making it a small dungeon for all of the groups to fun through or something

Adversary is a new, custom format for Magic: The Gathering intended to be played over Cockatrice.
Update 4 is live!
>How is it played?
http://pastebin.com/4JUSJp01
In Adversary, players select an Adversary card from an existing archive, or create their own. These Adversaries enter play from turn one, and possess abilities that change the way the game is played. If you've ever tried out Vanguard, you'll feel right at home. Adversary uses 61-card decks (including the Adversary card). The format is Modern Singleton.
>How are Adversaries balanced?
Each Adversary is assigned three values: a life total, a starting hand size, and a level. The life total and starting hand size are used to balance Adversaries based on the power of their abilities. In the event that they cannot be effectively balanced this way, Adversaries are also assigned a level, indicating that they are only suited for play against Adversaries of a similar level.
>How can I make my own Adversary?
Post your desired rules text, color identity, illustration and artist-to-credit in this thread and I might make it for you! Alternatively, make it yourself in Photoshop or an MTG card creation program. I will then add it to the .xml file and it will become available to everyone.

This update was 100% balancing changes, so here's a changelog:
>Ananta Seshou's life has been reduced to 25 from 30, and hand size has been increased to 4 from 3.
>Azchiti now needs to tap to activate his abilities. His level has been reduced to 2.
>The life cost for Bestel's tap ability has been reduced to 4 from 5. He no longer takes damage equal to damage prevented.
>Candidate now has to pay 3 life to tap a creature instead of 1. His first activated ability now costs {3}{B} from {2}{B}.
>Chroma no longer accumulates peace counters as turns pass without players losing life. Instead, she now pays {W}{U}{R}{B}{G} to put a peace counter on herself.

His name has been changed from Hezornak, Planar Devourer to Hezornak, Dread Progeny, with his artwork changed to something more fitting for a level 4 (and less pixellated).
