Infidelity comes to mind.

>too easy and too overdone ie having sex with the devil

It's the best one though. Betraying everything for sex is great, whether it's good turning evil for sex or evil turning good for sex.

Of course it doesn't have to be sex, but that's just the most obvious.

Making them think there will be no consequences.
Making them too angry to think.

Delete this and post the right strawpoll links.

>>44100345
After the strawpoll is over can you do a vote pitting the top two results vs eachother?

For example right now Big Guy and Battle Chef are the two top voted choices, so atter a while do a poll where those are the only choices.

The advantage is that it finds a true majority since it allows people who voted for less popular choices to revise their vote.

Third for fat aeon tats.

First you need to figure out what roleplaying game you're supposed to be playing and tell us what it is.

>>44099997
Depends on the system.

>>44099997
It's based on the system, good systems have an underlying math that governs how easy achieving various numbers is.

Please, tell use which system.

That's stupid.

You're stupid.

I'm not seeing the hook.

What does this setting offer to give the players something fun and interesting to do?

It seems like a poorly thought-out joke that someone dragged on for way too long.

some of the mutations i have so far are
>fleshshaping
crippling deformation, deformations, alien fratures, animal features, weakening of the body, premature ageing
>elemental
suseptability to an element, deformation related to an element
>protean sorcery
deformation involving non-living matter integrated into flesh
>evocations
supernatural mutations, spiritual damage
>mesmerism
insanity, retardation

Seems like a fine enough list, but if you use Evocation as non-elemental effects its going to confuse people since Evocation was the original school of magic where fireballs and lightning bolts come from.

I like it at least because it doesn't force players into using elemental magic, since I'm not a big fan of that.

If my understanding of your concept is correct, then you need some sort of passive variable that can be manipulated by what level the spell is cast at.

For example:
Mutation index:
>1-5
Healing spell Levels:
>1-10

Cleric John Smith casts Light Healing at Level 2, of which the spell has a Mutation Index of 1. He fucks up. The Mutation Index is multiplied by the Spell Level and gets a mutation of Grade 1

Mutation Grades:
>Grade 1 = 1-10
>Grade 2 = 11-20
>Grade 3 = 21-30
>Grade 4 = 31-40
>Grade 5 = 41+

Then its just up to the DM to describe what sort of mutation happens. This could be from a generic list or heavily specialize based on the situation. Keep it flexible. In this case Cleric John Smith might get a small patch of skin blight on his arm.

More extreme examples
>Necromancer Jane Doe casts Wither. She fucks up. Wither has a MI of 4 but she cast it at Level 6. That gives us 24 and thus, a Grade 3 Mutation. At this point Jane doubles over screaming as her entire arm, bone and all, instantly liquefacts and sloughs off into a puddle of putrescence.

>Bard Tommy Lee attempts to cast Mass Telepathy to scour the city for any signs of the cult. He fucks up. Mass Telepathy has a MI of 3 but he had to beef up and cast it at Level 12 in order to get the whole city. That gives us 36 and a Grade 4 mutation. His mind forms a sort of psychic stoma and now their is a constant stream of bits of thoughts leaking from him all the time.

>I'm starting to think I might just buy them with the intention of hoarding them rather than painting and playing with them

Do people not?

>>44099853
I haven't done an inventory in a very long time, but I have the equivalent of your whole collection visible from where I'm sitting, and many more in storage.

So yes, hoarding is a thing.

Wait, people don't hoard minis?1

I've got bins full of Confrontation still in shrink-wrap in my attic, but only because they won't fit in the storage space I'm renting.

No. Because some things, like skills, just count the natural 20 as 20+modifiers.

Why would that make more sense?

Rolled 4 - 1 (1d23 - 1)

I feel as though OP is having difficulty with something.

>the players were the bad guys the whole time

My GM was very mad at me when I discovered a plot similar to this because my character entered other character's dreams fairly regularly fishing around for info.

>>44099387
Maybe you should have learned how to properly speak before taking an oratory position.

>Inform the players that any further corrections will result in me removing one article of clothing per interruption.

>>44099387
Learn to pronounce words.

I made several character that were "heroes fun fun". Now that one punch man is getting popular people will eventually think I'm copying that.

Nobody has fun in OPM.

Becuase then I as a white person would be appropriating their culture and thus would be racist you shitlord. Black skin is not something you get to roleplay for a few hours on your saturdays for fun and take it off when you're done like some shitty costume that allows you to say shit in ebonics cause it's "in character" you piss baby.

Excuse me? I've played drow on multiple ocassions.

>>44099090
Actually, I don't think I've played a single white human character at all. Huh. I wonder if I have some weird white guilt thing going on, or if I'm just exoticizing the other?

Man, if they have to fight, the second is going to win I suppose. Neither got into many direct conflicts but the second carried a lot harder when they did. Though I suppose it would depend a lot on who gets the drop on who. Neither were particularly durable characters, one by nature of his classes, the other by nature of the system.

Not sure.

I like regular Conan.

No... Can be better...

it's the perfect example of a GM streching a campaign beyond its limits because he can't be arsed to make a new one.

I only played this once, but I had a lot of fun with it.

I've also heard really good things about the Marvel Heroic (forget the exact name) system.
