Ok so i just got back from a Star City Open in Jersey, and on the way back my buddies and I talked about what kind of new plane we'd like to go to after Shadows Over Innistrad.

One of them suggested going to Kaladesh for the whole Indo-Persian feel, friend 2 suggested Dwarves/Scandanavian and friend 3 came up with Conspiracy, but with Pirates.

Thoughts? WWYD?

i personally like goblins more when they are tribal folk who are just trying to make a living. I like when they aren't locked into being an evil race either. In the campaign I'm in currently the gobbies or gorlops as some racists call them are like above. In the campaign i'm playing a goblin who is a paladin of kord, it's pretty fun.

I like as smartasses

I love the idea of goblin tinkers and such as well as little mad green brewists

It's pretty much that. Most modern RPGs have some sort of meta-mechanics in them and most people with broad RPG experience are perfectly fine with them. It's the same sort of people who raged and hated D&D 4e (Despite it being a wholesale improvement over 3.PF) just because it was unfamiliar and different. They want to keep playing the same games they've always played, and anything unusual scares and disturbs them.

>>43900537

"hey, instead of cake, here is this bag of dogshit!"

"oh I dunno man, I kinda would rather have cake actually..."

"Waaah, you just hate new and different!"

>>43900570
4e wasn't great, but at least it more or less did what it intended to.

3.PF is awful and has ruined an entire generation of gamers.

>>43900031
If gods were real then yeah.

>>43900083

That depends on the god though. If the god is benevolent to all beings then maybe it could work; if it's benevolent to just its followers and has a "smite the non-believers" stance then religious freedom might go down the drain; meanwhile, if the god is an asshole then you might have problems.

No form of government is a good government if it lacks princesses and princes who can pretend to be princesses.

>>43899926
The fuck are you on about? They look nothing alike, except maybe a vague silhouette and their general stance.

>>43899967
It's the 'I've just shat my diaper', 'I'm trying to give myself spinal pain' stance, combined with the fuck ugly bald face. How do you not see it? There's even oversized pauldrons, for fuck's sake.

You're either genuinely stupid or baiting. Or both.

>I'll never get over this shit.
have you tried not playing D&D?

>>43899863
I agree.

When I was first introduced to 3E, I thought "I'll put in an odd stat now, and that way I can improve it during the game". Then we only played one session.

>>43899896
Also this

There are some things that use exact numbers and not modifiers. Examples I can come up with off the top of my head are carrying capacity and ability score damage. There are probably others.

I read the first one ages ago. Seemed like an amazing setting, but does it ever become anything other than "young adult fiction"? 'cause that plot was unbearably trite. Still, never seen biopunk done as well.

“Please be seated, the High Council Meeting will begin shortly."

You take a seat at the long table. Laurentius seats himself next to you, and the honor guard stands in the back behind you. A moment later, Lord Bernadotte enters the room as well, and takes his seat opposite you and Laurentius.

“Where is his highness?” Laurentius asks.

“His highness is resting in his room. He says he feels ill, but reaffirmed his previous stance on the matter of the crusade.” One of the councilmen responds, an elf with a trimmed beard.

“His majesty really should get rid of that useless healer. First the prince, now him.” Another grumbles, this one an elderly man with a bald head covered in liver spots.

“For once, I believe we're in agreement Moeller.” Lord Bernadotte agrees. “Regardless, if his majesty will not be attending today's meeting, then let us call this meeting to order.”

>>43898380
“Right then. As first order of business, I believe we should continue our previous discussion about the new tariffs on-”

“With all due respect, Traultmann, I believe that topic can be saved for later.” The bearded elf interjects. “Besides, our guests have come a long way, it would be impolite to delay the matter which they've come all this way to discuss.”

“Daffner has a point. Are there any objections to starting with the matter of the crusade?” Lord Bernadotte asks.

No one raises their hand. Lords Traultmann and Moeller frown, but say nothing.

“Good, then let's start with our guests. I believe neither Siegfried nor the good Captain require any introduction, so let's jump to the heart of the matter.”

“Yes, let's do that. Tell us Champion, why should we send you men and resources for something that has consistently failed time and time again?” Lord Moeller says, not even trying to hide the venom in his words.

You feel a pang of irritation from Galadriel at the old councilman's words. Something tells you this is going to be a very long meeting for her.

>Discuss the farms
>Discuss the Battle of Morsland
>Discuss the other kingdoms, and how they will react.
>Discuss Alastor, and the threat he poses.
>Other

>>43898398
>Discuss the Battle of Morsland
"Because they aren't waiting around for us this time. They've started attacking our cities, striking out into our territory. We won that battle, the first demon attack in a very long time, but that can't last forever. We have to go on the offensive."

Then
>Discuss Alastor, and the threat he poses.
"I've met the demon face to face and I can tell you one thing: He is bored and getting impatient and its only a matter of time before Malaphas lets him off the leash. In fact..."

Segue into
>Discuss the farms
Tell them about 'Demonic axe' guy's tale, about what Alastor does when he is bored. Then recount our time in the farm.


I feel like thats a good start for now.

This was the previous royal line.

Though usually unwelcome, the contemplative voice broke into your own thoughts with a baffling line. You close your ears to the small sculpture's incessant prattling in order to pay more attention. "You figured out who this was?"

No. I was interested in Mana, not royal lineage... But I think I may have an idea. Did you know that the royal family currently on the throne was not the one originally leading La'Fiel?

You remain silent. You knew what Irue knew, and their memories were an open book to you... Which meant nothing if you didn't know where to read, or what you were looking for.

What we know as the 'Royal Family' is more a title for the current crown's line of succession. In other words, it's an office to be held, rather than a bloodline. It just so happens that office can be passed down in a hereditary manner.

"So what does that have to do with this place? Did they get taken over by force or something?" You grit your teeth against the chill, wishing your shadow would get to the point already.

It's more accurate to say that they expired, leaving the throne empty. While I can't speak for the specifics of the family, I remember reading that their daughter refused inheritance, citing the call of Mana to go on pilgrimage. She was exceedingly adept with the manipulation of wind, so when her behaviour began to change through-out the pilgrimages, it was of little surprise to the Shrine that she eventually vanished. Most had theorized she had finally crossed the line and become an Aeon of Jinn.

"We're standing inside of a giant ice palace, in an underwater spring, guarded by countless Undine apparitions, and you're telling me this place was made by an Aeon of Jinn?" You deadpan blithely.

It was the prevailing theory, and what history has recorded. However, your scepticism is accurate. There are... Discrepancies. For one, I do not recall any mention of a second child. If there had been two children, the dedication of the daughter to the Mana would not have caused the family line to end, and the throne to become empty.

You narrow your eyes at the sculpture which has been cheerfully informing you of its various adventures and escapades as the wind within the room swept against you with a bitter chill.

As for the other... From what we've learned, the daughter wasn't a talkative person. By all rights, she seemed the most subdued of the family. Those aren't qualities that Jinn favours.

"Then, this sculpture...?"

Yes. The queen mentioned it, but signs of favour which were strong enough to elicit a calling to pilgrimage can typically be seen from a young age. Jinn favours freedom, flights of whimsy, and light heartedness. In other words...

"It wasn't the sister that Jinn was calling, but the brother."

>Ask a question (what?)
>Go elsewhere (Unexplored areas: Basement, The Garden)
>Break the sculpture
>Other? (write-in)
