There are a number of systems that can handle it well, but far more important is real buy-in from everyone at the table. In my experience, even when players say they buy in to a serious horror game, the tone never lasts longer than 20 minutes before players start to crack jokes and it becomes much more army of darkness than Evil Within. not a bad thing, but not what you're looking for.

As for systems, try dread or
savage worlds (especially with realms of cthulu setting gritty damage rules)

I know, that is why I want it to be action focused like TEW

I've heard a lot about Dread but I mostly play through Roll20 so its not an option, thanks anyway.

And at that, the driver knocks on the car door. You lower his window on his side, then lean over. He whispers to you in heavily accented English. “Baroness von Streucker is visiting orphanage in city. Might be there for while.” You nod, then look back at the girls. “Will you be driving her out?”

“We’ll see,” you say. “Hey, wake up!” you call. Rana blinks, groaning as she rubs at her eyes. Anneliese grumbles, curling up ever tighter. “Come on, we know where Streucker is.”

Rana yawns loudly a bit. “Oh goodness!” She stretches her legs, kicking and knocking against bits of the car. “No room to stretch in here!” She plants her face in Sumire’s lap. Sumire carefully picks her up by the head and sits her up. “Sorry. What’s the plan?”

> Shadow her at long distance. No need to risk anything.
> Get close as possible, see what we can find out quick and easy.
> You’ll make one up as you go along.

“Remember that evidence I told you about? I wanna show it to you before we part ways so you know what we've got.”

Jennifer nods slightly and opens the arm rest, pulling out a cable and passing it to you.

“Plug it in. I'd like to listen to it.”

You connect your phone to the sound system and play it from the beginning. Jennifer listens to the entire exchange passively, expression neutral. At the part where Mark shifts and tries to attack you her hands grip the steering wheel a little tighter, and when the recording ends she glances at you.

“It's exactly what I thought it would be. He attempted to attack you on school grounds, and he confessed to his views on Sammy. It's more than enough. Thank you. You've once again put your life in danger to help me, my daughter and my clan.”

You detach your phone and lean back, checking over your responses.

“I didn't think there was much risk at the time, that one hardly counts. Anyway... You said you don't want to be home tonight. I've got a few ideas. One sec.”

You check your messages quickly. Sammy's is a concerned text asking if you're alright and promising she'll meet you right away, along with Andrea's number, and you let her know that you're in one piece. Meliora's, on the other hand, is a kind of begrudging acknowledgment, as well as reminder that she's going to be out hunting after school. You get the feeling she's avoiding you, but that does open up some possibilities.

-

Obtained Andrea's number!

-

You turn to Jennifer.

“So... Sammy's got a friend, this girl Andrea who you could stay with. She-”

Jennifer shakes her head.

“Not happening. One, I know what she thinks of me, and it will turn the whole night into a series of awkward and uncomfortable conversations for the both of us. Two, I've been to her home before to pick Sammy up, and it's in vampire territory. I'd hardly call that a safe refuge. I don't know how that girl manages to survive at night...”

You chuckle a bit and sigh. It's not the time to spill Andrea's secret, though it seems the other one is out of the bag. It figures that Jennifer would know though.

“Well in that case, what about Sammy's room? Her roommate is dust. There's a spare bed. There's also my room, but my roommate might come back at any time. We've got a couch though. And then there's hotel rooms to consider.”

Jennifer mulls the options over for a moment.

“Personally I'd prefer your place, even if it's only a couch. The less Sammy knows, the less potential there is for her to be hurt by the situation. She knows we fight and sleep in different rooms, but not why. It'll be hard enough on her if I leave Patrick without her realizing what he does. But I can't force you to allow that, and I can come up with something to tell Sammy. Hotels aren't exactly out of the question, but it's too public. I'd really rather not.”

>Rules
Same system as Become The Dragon Quest. If you don't know what that is, it's best of three d20 rolls. I name a stat that sums up what you're trying to do, and if I don't name a relevant skill, you try to fill in the blank based on what you're trying to accomplish. “Break open the door” might be Strength based, but if you've been playing baseball after school and there's a lead pipe nearby, you could apply your Baseball skill to the roll. A 20 on the die is a crit threat, and if either of the other two rolls is 20 or higher after mods, it's a critical. A crit fail is when you have two or more 1s. So far this system has worked out well enough. We'll get into combat rules as needed, but in basic terms you have wounds, not HP, and the worse the wounds, the more penalties you accrue while doing other things.

Most Important Rule:
Have fun.

>Let Jennifer come over, Sammy needs to be protected from this for now.
>Let Jennifer come over and tell Sammy about it to avoid awkwardness.
>Have her stay with Sammy, they could use a bonding experience.
>Hotels are your friend. Just try to find one not full of vampires.
>Other (write-in)

Kringle has been kidnapped by white court vampires who want to force Christmas down the path of consumerism for their own gain. The players are senior council, led by the Merlin, in a daring rescue mission. It concludes with helping Santa deliver his presents

Melandie: A huntress, a berserker, an elf and one of your best scouts. She is quick to anger and her rage is terrible, but she has learned to control her emotions better recently. The runeblade she wields still impacts her emotions, but it is unlikely to break her mind or kill her any longer.

Korg: Your orcish blackguard, he is bound to your will. He wields a great hammer and cares for few things more than to use it in battle. A creature of simple pleasures and sins he is a destructive force on the battlefield and a cunning creature in planning.

Halivean: Known to you as Hal, he is your desert elf blackguard. Fanatically loyal to you and with some basic skill in necromancy and tactics he is a vital lieutenant to your forces. His agility is exceptional and his skill with a blade and bow is significant, but where he shines is leading undead into battle.

Karist: Dwarven runesmith and elder.

Spot: Gnoll rogue and boss.

Vlad the Kobold: Kobold leader.

Amythrien: Elven craftsman and elder.

Sheila: Human elder from your village.

Finally, some action. You had forgotten how much you had missed the discovery of new people, and the danger they represent. It is a rush to be important, to be the one standing between three, nearly four hundred people and certain destruction.

You are going to meet your new neighbours. If they are good people, you might negotiate trade, set up diplomatic channels. If not, you will wipe them out.

It is a fairly long trek South, but you should leave soon.

>Take as much of your military force as you can. Your undead, and any armed civilians that Melandie and Lathrien do not bring along. Show the newcomers your strength.

>>44132056
>Take your undead only. That is all the force you've ever needed, and it will show the newcomers who they are dealing with.
>Take only mortal troops. Your necromancy has been a point of contention in diplomacy before.
>Take only your Blackguard and a selection of advisors.
>Take Bathory, she is a capable diplomat.
>Take Mihnea, she needs to learn more about your work and the world
>Take one or more of the Alliance elders (who?)
>Take along someone else.

The two young elves are leaving on their own missions too.

You lazily pick up the last of the ape's corpses and take to the air with a sweep of your wings. While up above the trees you take your time surveying the surroundings of your lair before you land at the mouth of cramp cavern. (got map. yay)

The Wyvern seems asleep in the colourfull nest, so you drop the meat with the bodies of the Behemoths, big chunks of meat missing from them from the fight. You look for the salamanders and they seem to have made their own little warrens, dug on the inside of the dirt mound surrounding your cave. As you approach to inspect them you notice that some of the animals gave birth! Small, wriggly baby salamanders lofting in the branches and leaves that line the warrens.

Your clan grows, and with them your pride.

It's your first post OP
Come on

>>44131443
Shit sorry :D

I'm a little tipsy so... yeah. Sorry

It's interesting but directionless.

What makes it directionless exactly? More so than other products?

Why would anyone ever bother to invent a language like that instead of using semaphore-flag signals?

>>44131200
1) The language emerged from repurposed training techniques.
2) Learning the language from a young age also teaches you to be a better sword-fighter.
3) They already had all these swords laying around...

>>44131200
Not OP, but I can think of one. Say the nobles of different nationalities in that realm get more and more autistic about duels and the corresponding etiquette. What started as simple "stances" as basically a handshake to the opponent, after a few centuries become full blown poetry contests before matches. That could be a start to a simple sign language.

>>44130975
Need, yes please.
