There was a bored-looking young man in unadorned iron standing at the entrance to the town, holding a spear in one hand and stifling a yawn with the other, though he stood straighter when the pair came into view. When the girl and her hound had come close, they were greeted by a stuttered welcome and surprised, widened eyes.

The bored-looking young man could not be faulted for being taken aback. ‘Girl in white’ was a very apt description for the person standing before him; not only did it describe the hooded cape that reached below her waist and the modest feminine dress, but it was also appropriate for the girl’s pale skin and silver hair. Along with the contrast to her striking blue eyes, when placed next to the large hound with ash-grey fur the two made a strange and memorable combination.

“What’s your business here?” The young man continued, clumsy and formal.

The girl in white and the hound in grey looked at each other, then spoke together:

“Where do people meet in this place?”
“Where does one get meat in this place?”

Once again, the young man could not be faulted for being taken aback.

The strange pair learned that there was an inn that the fishermen would frequent for food and drink, though as it was late morning they could not expect to see much more than the innkeeper if they were to visit. They were also told there was a town square that many would frequent, and there was a meeting being held at the time. The young man was uninterested in the happenings of the town’s meetings, and could tell them little more.

> Where did the strange pair go?

[ ] The inn.
[ ] The square.

[ ] The square.
Any stalls that sell meat? For the hound.

How long would it take to circumnavigate all the outer planes? Assume a person can walk 24 miles in a day.

I cover the various methods of planar travel in this set of posts, which you could read to gain a better grasp of planar travel: https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/42966029/#42970739

As far as circumnavigating the Outer Planes on foot is concerned, there is a relevant passage from page 22 of the DM's Guide to the Planes from the original Planescape Campaign Setting boxed set:
>There’s actually a road on some planes, but mostly it’s the thought of the Ring, the grand union of all the Outer Planes, that poets sing about. What it really is is a string of portals, permanent and unchanging, that link each Outer Plane to its adjacent fellows.

This establishes that, yes, each of the Outer Planes are indeed connected by an unbroken ring of portals. However, given that the Outer Planes are infinitely wide realms of pure spirit, travel time is *purely* dependent on how adept the traveler is at navigating any given plane.

The Planes of Law/Conflict/Chaos boxed sets and the Player's Primer to the Outlands describe the different geographies of each Outer Plane and what it takes to travel within each of them. Each plane has a different travel method: Mount Celestia demands trials of virtue, Elysium facilitates travel via good deeds, Mechanus is traversed via the mental construct that is the Labyrinthine Portal, getting anywhere in the Gray Waste is all about *not* caring about reaching one's destination, the Outlands simply extract a travel time of 3d6 days to get to any location, and so on.

If a cutter knows how to perform the right mental acrobatics for all of the Outer Planes, they can circumnavigate the Great Ring swiftly. If not, then the journey will take far longer.

Which of the archdevil consorts is the best waifu?

Its four in the morning. You're tired. Darvus is sitting in bed with bestial claws, a smile too wide for his face and your voice. There are three other combatants in this cramped shack with you, all of which may be scary shape changing monsters. Muffin is yelling at you. And you still haven't made any plans for New Years.

Time to fucking rock.

>Screw this, out the window we go
>Grease the floor, chop chop on Darvus
>Barrel through the enemy and get out the front door
>Some other battle plan? (write-in)

Either way, roll 2d100, best of 3.

Rolled 10, 87 = 97 (2d100)

>>44328772
>>Grease the floor, chop chop on Darvus
We should take one of them alive though.

Rolled 7, 69 = 76 (2d100)

>>44328772
>Barrel through the enemy and get out the front door
Fighting them on the street may be ideal, others from our group might come to intervene... maybe. But we shouldn't use the window, turning our back to the foe is foolish.

I got a stick I could put some nails in I guess.

Traps mostly. Setting traps like trip wires and pit falls would be the most profitable way of dealing with others.

One thing they always teach in self defense: If someone is really aiming to hurt you, expect to be hurt. You might win, but your going to get hurt. In a world where medical attention may not exist outside of field triage, takeing out the aspect of getting hurt increases your chances out there. Someone chasing me? lure them to the pitfall, or trip wire on stairs, or spiked steps on stairs, maybe the ol' swinging log trick. who knows. Id get creative but thats the gist: Traps.

Why would you need a system for that?

Houses of the Blooded is built around playing nobles in a somewhat unusual fantasy setting. It's an interesting game, focusing a lot on managing your estates, retaining face and managing your reputation and public image while doing what must be done. The mechanics are pretty cool, with an interesting risk/reward system where you can opt to roll less dice in order to have a greater degree of success if you do pass.

The smell. War is 98% smell

Blown out windows everywhere is the #1 giveaway for recent combat. Empty streets signals upcoming or sustained fighting.

Blood stinks. It feels like warm KY before it congeals, there's more grease than you'd know in a human body. Brains smell like fruit-loops cereal, and bullets don't make neat exit holes.

Shit and piss.
People do defecate themselves when they are very scared, also the bowls empty when you die.
Vomit obviously
Depending on the time period heavy smoke, strong smells.
Blood and guts

Is this that thread again where we call recurring NPCs in games DMPCs?

You'd be better off focusing on adjusting your challenges to meet the players who do show up than trying to boost them up with an NPC.

BESM.

We're running an anime mecha campaign right now and it's fucking glorious.. Though even though we were promised a lot of cool fights and stuff, we've only been in one or two because we, the players, keep derailing the plot with internal drama and teenage angst. I'm loving it.

It's just getting started.

A poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.
