Fans of 'roll %, try to get under your skill'; How does the defender effect what I need to roll? Does a big bulky dude have the same chance to be hit as a nimbly dodgy guy?

In real life, and as such in many fantasy settings, it's pretty common for crooks to have all manner of tattoos and shit to display others their status and deeds. But in what manner would other races and cultures perform this kind of marks? How would you know that elf over there is a real badass humanslaying ranger boss?

I'm particularly curious of the more hairy monster races - bugbears, gnolls, minotaurs, dwarves, etc. - because all that fur obviously makes it impossible to tattoo them at all.

Last night, you slept little and dreamed even less.

Your name is Mia Vespucci, and you found that second part far more agreeable. Although your dreams, recurring things of darkness and impending suffocation, have been far less traumatic of late – strangely enough, the knowledge that they were dying memories from a past life made them far easier to cope with – you still tend towards waking suddenly and violently. A habit, formed early in life, is not easy to break in later years. Regardless, this is one morning that remains undisturbed, to your great relief. You've got other things to think about.

Things like finally rescuing Marco, your father, from the clutches of his demonic captors. Tonight, the night of the full moon, will be the moment you've been waiting for ever since this whole ordeal began so few days ago. You sooner you're ready to move, the better – it's just a shame that nobody else feels that way. It was closer to noon before all of your companions had assembled, each one bearing excuses of their own. Joseph had blamed the strong painkillers he had taken for his damaged face, while Leon was in a drunken stupor. Laziness and nervousness accounted for Petra and Cassandra respectively, while Elliot kept his silence.

Fine. So be it.

We stare down the hole that just swallowed Kara, easily deep enough that the thin lights in the woods doesn’t penetrate to the bottom.

My master is peering down the whole, and testing its depth by kicking a rock in. He listens for the impact, as it strikes soft dirt. “Twenty feet, at least.” He sighs. “More than enough to snap your legs from the fall.”

I peer down into the dark as well. “We have to get down there somehow though.” I reply. “That thing- that man took her.”

I notice the corner of his mouth twitch at that. “Funny that.” He remarks dryly. “You heard what he called her.” His grip tightens on his staff as he kicks another rock in. “He called that girl ‘honey’. Rather a familiar title to be used between our little friend and this person who nearly killed us, don’t you think?”

I catch the sound of soft nickering and tramping boots. Ashwyn and his pikemen are approaching slowly, still marching to his poorly timed “One-Two!”s.

“Honey implies a very few specific relationships. Either familial or romantic.” The spook continues. “Either way, evidence points to her being a bad egg.”

“HO!” The squire calls, spotting us through the trees, he directs his men towards us. “Found another entrance have you?” He asks, a playful grin on his face. “We’ll need to find this beast, and sharpish!” The men roll their eyes, fidgeting with their nets.

>Look around for another entrance, there’s got to be one
>Ask to tie their nets into a rope, quick way down.
>Ashwyn, ride back and get more men, this is serious.
>What should we do now, master?
>Write in

The break is over. I'm back!
-----------------------------------------------
Summary so far: You don't quite get why you're here and if this is not some kind of weird dream, but there are these goblins, this castle and you're referred to as the new 'overlord'. You already got your first set of armor and led your first expedition into the forest, hoping to find something of interest there. And you kind of did. Also you started rebuilding your caste.

Now rallied your troops, momentarily consisting of nine goblins, and left your castle, heading towards the A'Kash Mountains outside your castle. You hope to find something or someone interesting there.
After only a short march you find a good spot to set up camp. Kislax, your sergeant, asks you for what to do now.

Good question. What do you want to do now?
>Find food for your army (2 weeks of food left)
>Find building (or other) materials (maybe specify if you want to look for something special)
>Scout for possible recruits
>Find something to train fighting on for you/your army
>Other (write in)

I've passed last 2 weeks studying a campaign for Pathfinder
Pretty standard setting with nothing special, stealing ideas here and there.
I manage to form a group with Game Finder players.
Everyone has got their sheets and we're ready to go
After 2 hours we're into it, one of the players (call him good player) leaves, but then explains he has a family urgency the day after.
I believe him since we spent a lot working on his character and he seems to like my way of GMing, but he can't stand two other player going full powerplay and repeating rulebook word by word.
After he quit another one leaves for work, even if I specified the session would have lasted at least 3 to 4 hours.
After good player calling out, the group tears apart, I didn't want to play with 2 powerplayers and a player that would always be available for no longer than 2 hours.
I manage to keep 2 of the old good players and look for more to reform another group.
We all set once again, 2 hours before the first session one of the player calls out because he didn't know it wasn't text only.
One doesn't show up, we still decide to start with 3 players only.
As I start introducing the setting one of them says "I'm not playing this campaign" and flakes.
Now, I can understand him not finding the setting interesting and such, but I had already introduced them to the main story when recruiting them for the campaign.
Now, is it my fault? Is it him being an asshole?
I feel like shit for even thinking of putting effort in something that involves people from the internet.
Good player told me that he's still playing whatever I feel like running, but I don't think I wanna try anymore, I'm too demotivated for this shit.
Tl;dr are players shit for flaking or am I shit at GMing

Have you seen... this?

Basically for the very cheap price of 52€ Chaos have 12 stories and 12 supplement.

I don't even know what to think about it, but it's good news for Chaos players... i guess.

There is the equivalent for Chaos in Age of Sigmar, but who gives a shit.

Hey guys, I need your help here. I have this roleplaying game going on and I'd need a image to represent my character (we're playing online most of the time so an image is nice).

The game take place in the Naruto universe, in a place far away from where we know the manga story (the story from the manga or anime doesn't affect our game at all). The players are in a three man squad and the GM is the team captain (who never helps in combat, talk about a captain :P).

A little of the backtory of the character might help figuring what I'm looking for. He and his clan are pretty dark characters, cursed hundreds of years ago because of the greed of the clan leaders who were too proud of their ocular powers. The result of the curse was that every child related to the clan would be born blind and that anytime someone would look into their eyes, both would suffer an horrible and painful death. With this curse going on, nobody wanted to deal with them, as their condition inspired fear in people, leaving them to live as refuge in a great ninja city. Still, they survived, some of them lucky (or skilled) developped a new sense, giving them the ability to ''feel'' their surrounding, allowing them to ''see'' the world while not really seeing it (kind of like the Miralukas in the Star Wars universe). The clan stayed united even with the separation made by this ability, but it allowed to some of them to take part in the village, getting the most skilled one to enter the ninja academy and eventually becoming ninja of the village. Many people disliked the fact that these ''monsters'' were allowed the same rights than the ''normal'' citizens, but the village leader decided that this was the best way to take the cursed clan out of their misery.

That's the background.

Now, for the character itself.
