An Ar tonelico game that reconciles the vast differences between Reyvateils, combat Reyvateils, and humans in a way that would make it narratively and systematically fun to play any of the three roles, while still adhering to at least the basics of the series' lore.

With our luck, this will happen and it will be a strict Japan-only release due to licensing issues.

There are people who'd translate that shit; I mean look what happened to the Log Horizon game.

>Yaulazna (Hamlet): Conventional; AL LE; 30,000 gp limit; Assets 9,000,000 gp; Population varies (about 180), averages 300
>Authority Figures: Yargo (LE male lightfoot halfling rogue 9/Great Sea corsair 8), the Pirate King of Yaulazna. Important Characters: Zuusted Nimderval (NE male human conjurer 20), Yargo’s right-hand man

>Yargo has a powerful friend—a renegade wizard from Halruaa named Zuusted Nimderval (NE male human conjurer 20), who has developed a variation on the plane shift spell that actually causes the entire shantytown to vanish to another plane temporarily.

Here we have a pirate hamlet whose ruler's right-hand man is a level 20 conjurer wizard who Plane Shifts the whole "shantytown" to another plane.

I imagine it's sort of like Exalted and the Games of Divinity, where the wizards are too busy having their heads up their asses to actually shape the world, and everyone just doesn't mess with them on the off chance that they might catch them at a moment when they don't have their collective heads up their collective asses.

>>44354636
I hear you. Same shit happened with me. Our group moved/quit/lost interest etc. A couple of us started again after a year or so...and it was sorta bleh.

I'm having one right now with Pathfinder.

I have yet to see a halfway decent campaign in months, the last ones I've joined flaked to death, and the two campaigns I'm in now are the wrong kind of bland.

>>44355009
>the two campaigns I'm in now are the wrong kind of bland.

Whats the wrong kind vs an acceptable kind?

>>44354623
That's a pretty loaded question that varies wildly with the game I'm playing and what the group composition is.

>>44354623
Well, theres the fact that you can randomly get possessed by a demon or explode just by accessing even a little bit of magic and not being perfect in how you do so.

>>44354697
>That's a pretty loaded question
How the fuck is that a loaded question? What is controversially or unjustly assumed in that question? It literally says "if you have them" right there.

No, and I don't think anyone else has either.

>>44354180
>Have you ever included a secret class in your games that was necessary to use some of the core equipment of the setting, but didn't tell your players about it until they'd built their characters and the game was underway?

No, that sounds like a horrible, annoying and passive aggressive thing to do.

This comic is such shit.

I can't concentrate enough to play when I'm high, so no.

>>44354137
Alcohol only. And even then, only in moderation.

>>44354137
My friend let's me smoke just enough pot to dull the senses so I can concentrate more on the game. More importantly it prevents headaches.

How does a time-controlling death angel with four arms, red glowing eyes, completely made of psychic metal razor blades, worshipped by an apocolyptic death-cult, and filled with the memories of the most dangerous soldier of all human history sound to you?

Eagerly monitoring this thread OP

I don't like Steamrollers

Carry on OP. Shame OC has been destroyed on this board.

I just have shitty ideas but I've always wanted to play a steampunk game where fairy tales and Lovecraftian gods are real. Monsters and people have begun clashing since humans figured out a way to detect them through some kind of optics. Dwarfs, elves, trolls etc. are real and they're either hostile, indifferent, or somewhat cooperative. Humans are using their newly invented weapons and scientific studies of monsters to defeat them. There are beings hidden everywhere, kinda like in Spiderwick, in every alleyway there's a cat freak and under every hill there's a stone giant sleeping. You could have epic battles between humans with laser muskets and clockwork armor vs. ancient slumbering dragon gods.

Yeah sure I'm game.

Rolled 4, 1 = 5 (2d6)

>>44353332
Might help if I do the dice right.

Well if they're playing an evil campaign you should just be able to just give them any old plot hook and let them derail it.

>>44353277

It depends, really. With a Lawful Evil group, I've run a campaign full of noble-but-emo dark knights working for a unashamedly fascist kingdom. I'm pretty sure at least one was an actual neo-Nazi.

Evil campaigns are easy to run, because you have ready-made motivators. Evil people want personal achievement and accumulation of wealth. I think the best way to run an Evil campaign is to test the limits of how Evil they are willing to go for reward.

For example: in the dungeon of a temple of Pelor is imprisoned young Adolph de Ville. Adolph was, up until a couple years ago, a perfectly ordinary noble-born youth. One day, he read a book he found inside his uncle's attic. We don't know what the book contains because he burned it afterward, but he later strangled his sister, skinned two children alive in front of their mother and disfigured a third so she would have a living memory of the act (and he raped her and cut off her hand, just for good measure). He sold his soul to a demon AND a devil just so they would fight over it when he dies, and is known for terrorising the countryside with his unique sort of spellcasting which draws from the power of Evil itself. The Pelorites finally apprehended him, and how he is in the deepest vault, chained to the ground, kept in a magic circle under a constantly rotating watch while they try to figure out a punishment suitable for his crimes.

Your PCs start in prison. Each of them is there for whatever crime they committed in their backstory (they are evil, after all), and they expect to either languish in prison or hang, but a local noblewoman has them released, to hire them for a job. Vivienne Ondessa was the childhood friend of Adolph and loves him deeply, and believes he can be redeemed from the monster he has become. She is hiring the PCs because nobody else is willing to listen to her. In exchange for their release and a promised cash payment, they are to rescue Adolph de Ville.

It's hard for any one government to police all the inhabitable planets in the galaxy.
