My man, that looks much better than mine! I'll have [5].

Rolled 90 (1d100)

Kingdom is named Greenland, since I'm uncreative. Ruler is named after his kingdom.

>>44077396
Roll 1d10
Your nation is a strong Island nation, your peoples have been ship makers for ages.

You have a small population of 12,000 but your nation is dominated by extensive forests that bare fruit and small exotic birds.

Your coasts provide abundant fish, octopus and coral reefs.

Your western coast is to rocky for docks but provides a small amount of iron.

Who is your ruler? also what square is your capitol in?

I've seen alternative rules with paper standees instead of miniatures, and shooting paperclips with a rubber band. The only real cost there is cardstock, printer ink, and time

It doesn't work anymore, since it's written for toy cannons with springs that were way stronger than what's allowed in toys today.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

Bumping with basic idea for their uniforms. Would appreciate any more art of space suits like this

Is it unclear because you don't know what it is yet and you're making it up as you go (The X-Files technique), or have you actually worked out anything to back up the mystery?

By the way, if you want something to back up
>To the untrained ear, these radio signals are nothing, just random noises produced by radiation
check out
>http://linas.org/theory/seti.html
which talks about exactly that - why "apparently random noises" could actually be an optimal format for extraterrestrial communication. (tl;dr - pseudorandom noise encoding lets you communicate with a much lower signal-to-noise ratio, which in turn allows you to reach much greater ranges with the same amount of broadcast power.)

Well OP, let me ask you this:

Are you gaming with real people who you are really friends with in real life, or are you gaming with hypothetical neckbears on /tg/ who nay-say everything?

>>44076326
Here's what you do:
1)Get a group together
2)Tell them you want to run a campaign where they are big, strong heroes
3)Ask them to make their characters
4)Play your game
5)Enjoy!

It's as easy as that.

Like elves?

>>44076072
I can get behind this, though you have to be prepared for the possibility the player characters are going to hit on them so it might not be for everyone.

I'm not a fan of making ever instance of something in my fantasy settings uniform. I don't really want to play in a lazily copy-and-pasted world.

Sounds fun. You may want to include plot points or even just hints that the current gods were once mortals and that the pantheon has not always been exactly the same as it is now.

I think you're thinking a little too big at this point.

Campaigns are fragile things. Most end well before you'd like them to, and they never end the way you expected they would.

From what it sounds like. you've got a really, really, really long campaign in the planning stages, and my major recommendation is to just look at the idea realistically. It's probably better to plan more things for the beginning of this campaign, rather than focusing on the far distant potential future.

>>44075857
This is standard for me. Works pretty well, however, since you haven't even played the first adventure and are already planning for the next campaign, the campaign you're going to run is going to be shit because of it.

You should look up dawn of worlds, which is a minigame for setting creation. Do that instead of waiting twenty levels to do something which should be standard

Can't forget the The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defence, they're great. Unusual as they're both a spooky, supernatural government agency and more or less completely out in the open about what they do and the unusual abilities of some of their employees (in the comics, anyway).

As I've been on a 2000AD kick I remembered these as well - [Insert Nation] Psi-Division, Vatican White Ops, Cabalistics Incorporated and the Special Police Taskforce for the Enforcement of The Accord between the Kingdoms of England and Hell, and Vector 13

Its a cheap hand refill for control decks.

>>44075742
Foil version is really really pretty

>>44075742
Potentially...
It would have to be some sort of weird brew.
Playing it in a flash heavy deck (Clique and Snap tempo?) Would aliviate the drawback.
Additionally Notion Theif and Leyline of Anticipation could turn into a finisher or a... exile the card they're playing at the end of your turn psuedocounter spell.

It's mostly a casual card, but some inane brewer may do something with it.
It probably won't ever be worth more than the EDH inflation though.

But I'm wrong more and more these days, so do whatever you want.

"No need for all this drama, Master. You couldn't have possibly known. I do what a Servant does: I protect my Master".
Saber probably read in your thoughts thanks to the powerful bond you share.
"I don't think I could thank you enough Saber."
"No need for that. Let's just come out on top of this struggle, ok?"
You nod, with newfound confidence.

Your phone vibrates again, signaling that you received a new text.
You open the phone and read it
"See me at your earliest convenience. Nurse".
You can feel your insides twisting and the sweat fall off your brow. Emi and the Nurse are friends, are you going to get expelled?

>Go visit him right away
>Go back to class.

>Go visit him right away
Gotta listen to the trained medical professional who's totally not shady at all.

>-Season Finale-
>mfw can't stay for the whole thing

>>44075904
that sucks. I promise it will all be in the pastebin. There's gonna be another season, I just need a couple of days hiatus

No point in beating about the bush. If this is the end, then so be it.
"Come on Saber. We have a meeting with a professional"
Saber disappears in his camouflage, and you head for the nursery.

You can feel your heart beat almost twice as fast as normal. Fear is overcoming you, a fear you didn't feel when you were fighting Caster or Rider. The fear of not being able to protect yourself, and the fear of not being able to protect Saber.

You knock on the door. After a brief pause, the door opens. The Nurse isn't in a good mood apparently, but there's no trace of Emi around.
Maybe she hasn't rat on you after all, but the chances are slim.

"How are you doing, Johnathan? John? Which one is it?"
"Johnathan. But everyone seems to call me John, which I don't mind."
"John then. So? Everything in order?"
the military tone and the cadence with which he asks questions, coupled with his mood, make you feel profoundly uncomfortable.
"Sure, I guess".
He raises an eyebrow. 'Oh no', you think, 'Here comes the trick question'
"So why are you not in class?"

You find yourself on the path out of your tribe's home of Knuckle Crag. Since your people has long since killed and eaten everything living in the mountains, your only hope of making a name for yourself lies out there in the great unknown.

Before you lies the great Splintery Woods. According to your shaman, the smaller folks make their homes on the other side. No humans, elves, gnomes or otherwise have been seen around here for generations.

A strange plank-on-a-pole is sticking out of the ground next to you, bearing strange squiggles of unknown significance.

You are unarmed and unharmed.

Depends on the system/setting.
Sometimes "witch" is the term for male wizards as well.

A witch was generally just someone capable of using magic.

Females getting witch exclusively became popular with all that pagan "wicken" garbage that was just another form of "EMPOWER WOMEN"

It's like the whole Dragon vs Wyverns debate.

If you're the kind of autist who goes "A DRAGON NEED 4 LEGS AND 2 WINGS" then you're also the kind of autist who goes "A WITCH IS A FEMALE SPELL CASTER"

An untrained force sensitive shouldn't be using the Jedi class. If they want to use the Jedi class then they need to change their character to be a Jedi in hiding. I mean, that's the whole point of the class, right?

>>44075383
Depends on the system, sometimes you have to be lenient with their builds because a game is a game, not a book, and their farmer with zero knowledge on self-defense isn't going to survive shit nomatter how much of a main character he's. Players lack the plotarmor characters in narrative have.

>>44075442
It is, the dude is blatantly power gaming though. The girls built for hardcore melee and nothing else, with Brawn 5, and 2 in every other stat, training melee above everything else.

Elaborating. Are there sketches or notes in the room?

Vehicle rules are lacking for 4th edition. Be aware.

I've been wanting to get back into MInecraft, but I don't see the point unless you're playing with others.
I never played on the old one, but I did participate a bit in the 4Craft servers a few years ago. Those were pretty fun until everyone gave up on it.
I'll definitely check it out.

Map was made by PMC User: Moonti, he deserves some respect for this piece of art.

In other news, I'm building more and more capture points. Trying to make the quarries semi realistic.

Does anyone know where I can build a small free single page website? something that I can keep a Dev Log on and you all can keep up to date? When we launch we can use the same page for a map and server updates, list the IP, etc.

Any ideas?

>>44075113
I can set up a chan for you in you want.

No domain name atm but if there is a demand we can get one.
