How does your character react? What happens next?
Here's your 'it depends' post
>>43820661
Her secret is thatSHE DOESN'T KNOW WHY KIDS LOVEEEEEEE CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH!
I shitpost about it on /tg/
Behind every village raid, every disease, every lich uprising, ever dragon master plan, there is the Banking Conglomerate. They owe no allegiance to any government, deem all life expendable (if profit magins drop too much) and have even most of gods somehow indebted. They keep a firm grip on all relevant heroes and even employ highest INT creatures to to debate with LG characters up to a point that paladins of LG religions are forced to join the might of the banks.
All the while they reamain anonymous and entertain the masses with zombie infestations, orc invasions, goblin migrations and an occasional "corrupt noble".
How is that for a BBEG?
>>43820615
So basicaly your BBEG is Israel? Also why would gods need a bank?
>>43820615
The idea of the vast pan-dimensional conspiracy being a bank or some other mundane but resented organization scaled to an appropriate size is amusing, but I don't know that it would work that well outside of a joke.

Why aren't you using your trip? And why are you even back? I thought you got banned indefinitely after the FATAL post.
What's the longest/most detailed back story you've written for a character? My previous was a 5 page back story for a WoW RPG campaign with a Troll Warrior, but now I'm on page 10+ diary for a character I've had ideas about for a while in 5e. [Spoiler]I probably won't even get to play her ever though.[/spoiler]
I've literally never written a backstory longer than a few paragraphs. When you're playing a tabletop game, the point of the game is to have the story happen DURING the game, not before it. Nobody wants to read through a bunch of stuff that happened before the game and didn't even involve their character or the rest of the party.
>>43819820
You'd be surprised, a good few of my previous GMs required a back story of at least 3 pages. I'm more of a dungeon crawl person, so that was tedious, glad some other GMs only wanted a sentence, if that.
>>43819820
Mhm, the most I've written would have to be a page or two. That was only because I was sharing a backstory with another member of the party.
Alright, so I want to build some kind of retrowave game. I'm still struggling with what system to use - I figure something fast and loose. Storyteller system seemed interesting but I think I can do better.
But I also want to know what /tg/ would think are essential elements of a retrowave/futurism game. Slick car chases? Foggy nights? What kind of characters would be interesting to see or play as in such a setting? I want all your ideas.
Here, I'll set the mood for you.

How do I begin a campaign avoiding tavern memes and associates?
>>43819234
Try starting the game with the party meeting at an Inn
use the naked dungeon meme
>your characters find themselves chained to the walls of a damp,and dark dungeon cell.
erase your inventory.
I don't get the backlash against the tavern opening. The tavern, inn, coaching house, or what have you is THE perfect place for strange to meet. Everyone needs to eat/sleep, and if all of the PCs are strangers to each other the tavern/inn is a place where social interaction can be lubricates or forced. Moreover.it's where you would logically be before setting out on or finishing a journey. So what is the fucking problem, its too mainstream for hipsters?

Cast every detect and check you have on that thing. You should know it's social security number, bank statements, if it take it's coffee with two sugars or three, and it's music taste long before you even sneeze in it's direction, let alone go up and touch the thing.
>What is Exalted?
An epic high-flying role-playing game about reborn god-heroes in a world that turned on them.
Start here: http://theonyxpath.com/category/worlds/exalted/
>That sounds cool, how can I get into it?
Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial: http://jyenicolson.net/exalted/. It'll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.
>Gosh that was fun. How do I find a group?
Roll20 and the Game Finder General here on /tg/. With the new edition, though, chances are more games will crop up.

Lunar edition. Anyone playing a Lunar? How are Lunars used in your game? Anyone found their Lunar/Solar Mate?
Remember Morke and Holden are liars.

>When they finish and give you their character sheet you notice for Limit Break they put Omni Slash
How would you play it out, /exg/?
>>43816012
I'm not playing a Lunar right now because they're not in 3E yet, and I don't want to go back to 1E/2E.
That said, I want to be a badger totem lunar based on Guts from Berserk.
So It's basically my understanding that the Emperor ranked his sons about as follows. Correct me if I'm wrong.
1. Horus
2. Fulgrim
3. Dorn
4. Sanguinius
5. Guilliman
6. Johnson
7. Russ
8. Vulkan
9. Manus
10. Khan
11. Corax
12. Perturabo
13. Mortarion
14. Angron
15. Alpharius
16. Curze
17. Magnus
18. Lorgar
>>43815951
Damn, being Lorgar must suck.
>>43815951
>>43815992
Being Lorgar is suffering
>>43815951
Would Fulgrim be that high?

The Rak'Gol seem rather original
I will say that 40k has become less tolerable since GW ran out of "raised on Dune" people and started having to hire "raised on 40k" people.
