I really only want to stick to BFZ cards since I have so many and hardly any Khans cards.

I've had experience with the whole UW life gain allies deck and it just doesn't get there in standard. A fun deck that utilizes pretty much all BfZ cards is a blue White awaken deck. 4 halimar tidecaller and as many good awaken cards as possible. Think scatter to the winds, planar outburst, clutch of currents, etc. Also about 3-4 Noyan Dar, Roll Shaper. Really quite easy to build and is really effective. Halimar tidecaller bounces a card with awaken back to your hand when you get him in. Oh the removal you can get back...

Also I'd throw in 3 Drana, liberator of malakir. And maybe 4 fortified ramparts to help you curve out your deck and help you early game.

Just like a regular game, it depends on the players. If they're spergs, the game will be spergy. If they're drama ridden backstabbers, they're probably playing Vampire, but still. I met my GF at one, so take that as a sign that they're not always horrible.

I've never seen videos of these WoD LARPs, but apparently it's some terrifying shit (in the cringy way). What sort of things do they do?

>>43601467
Ive never even played WoD or LARPed, im just curious... does the DM play all the NPCs? Is only the dialogue acted out?

>>43601492
They just look kinda nerdy and its like watching nerds talk, not too bad.... just kind of boring and not very attracting

I'm looking for 1-2 people to round out a group before we get started. If more are interested, that's fine too. The game is based on Wildbow's Worm, in a fictional city with almost entirely original characters the game can be a bit lethal, and I strongly encouraged you try your best not to die. Reply to this post or email me with questions.

The dorms are quiet when you reach them, aside from the faint strains of music floating through Harder's door when you walk by. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mYBSayCsH0

Naka's room is completely silent. Hesitantly, you knock.

“Come on in!” comes the bright reply.

You open the door timidly. The hall light spreads over the bare hardwood floor and unadorned walls, lighting the lingering gloom cast by shuttered blinds. The light keeps rolling over the bare chamber till it spreads across Naka's followed a moment later by a smile so big her eyes wink shut as she flashes it, flipping you a crisp finger-V to boot. “Hello, Admiral~”

Naka's sitting in the middle of an almost empty room. The government-supplied furniture is there - a bed and a cheap nightstand - but everything else seems absent. There's no lamp on the nightstand; the bed has been stripped of its linens (which are stuffed haphazardly in a hamper by the closet) and that's about it. You see some vertical bars on the left that are slotted to hold shelves, but the planks are missing.

ravenhawk assault group does NOT specify where things must be transported, but does specify type of dread. it is a reasonable thing to do FW dread types, but you'll have to work that out with your opponent.

Suggestions?

Portray the NPCs like people instead of redshirts. Make them competent and capable at what they do.

Making one of them look like Taylor Swift is a good start. Seriously, if they can waifu it they'll care about it, and they only need to start with one, then she can care about the rest.

Something I attempted was separating NPCS into two groups "Survivors" had their own character sheets and had a unique flair.

"Citizens" were run of the mill people who may have been laborers or other simple jobs and they would reduce build/healing/etc rates at the fortress.

Losing citizenry hurt players by losing game mechanics but losing a survivor that the group liked was always a good moment.

>>BBEG doesn't have 'health', but instead has a pre-set number of 'hits' it can take before 'dispersing'.
I don't know what system you're using, but this could be pretty unfair to people who've specialized in delivering lots of damage with single hits, especially if something like the reverse exists in the game.

>>43601047
I'm running Pathfinder because none of my player are willing to branch out.

I'm planning on throwing this sorta thing at them at first or second level; is that early enough to not be particularly unfair?

>>43600910
The entity does not have a place in the turn order. Instead, he has a turn after a certain amount of time passes. This amount of time can be anything you want it to be, 60 seconds, 30 secons, even 6 seconds if you feel like fucking over your players.

Houses would be on stilts because floods. There may be a flooding season.

How do people get their swords?

>>43600894
>>43601648
How can you even mine the ores with so much rain? Metal would be a bitch to get. People would probably have seriously weird diets too.

Those who control the high grounds would rule all.

How does the sword thing get enforced? Why do people carry swords so religiously? How does that work for security around important people?

Travel would just stop entirely in winter under these conditions. You'd need a lot of stockpiling. People would probably value long term planning over other virtues.

Animals would be difficult to keep. Fishing would be something everyone is involved in.

>>43600894
>What would the BBEG be?
A setting implies that you're building a world, so this is an incredibly backwards question to be thinking about when you're already very plainly have trouble with basic geography.

Completely standard Fighter progression from 2nd to 6th level.

Then, exchange all class levels for levels in "glowing bug hat."

I think something similar to this anime would be cool to run picture related. Because of the mystery surrounding the world.

If you do built a dystopian future and throw your PC's in there you have to do some of the following. You have to make it a interesting dystopian world and come up with some good ideas as to why it is dystopian and how. Like brave new world everyone was consumed by what they were doing as opposed to 1984. You have to make the world have some sort of mystery and the PC's have to uncover it throughout the course of the campaign as to how it got to the point it is now. I guess does would be some starter points. Like making it a dystopian world because the king is an asshole is a bit boring. Make it go further as to why he has to be the way he is and how the world is always on the brink of chaos if he doesn't pay some payment to something more powerful then him. One last thing to make it mysterious, make the NPCs seem somewhat oblivious to what is the true horrors of the world, so everything is urban legend.

Just some ideas and thoughts.

>Republic of Gilead

My son of Ham.

Also, part of the problem is that depending on when the dystopia in question was written, you'll have massively varying technology levels. Do we assume Oceania has access to computers, even though Orwell didn't write it that way, or do we have Oceania be this luddite nation in the middle of people with WAY better tech than them?

What a retarded picture.
You should probably invest in photoshop, instead of relying on MSPaint.

Well captain needa let me explain, basically...You've just got a message from Lord vader and he sounds pissed.

You've asked this one before. Why are you just spamming these threads everyday? It's super obnoxious.

>>43599863
Eh, better than a Bile of Pricks Edition.

So, what happens to Dark Eldar that you pod or Companion (the Incubi companion from Commoragh, LoT DEldar Companion) once you move on?

Their connection to Slaanesh is either severed or time stopped, but now that their soul isn't leaking out by the ultimate hedonist, would they be a little less sadistic and less likely to go too far? I mean, they'd definitely continue for a while, just because years of habit and conditioning, but they wouldn't literally NEED to act like, well, a DEldar.

Could they be changed? Would they be willing to change?

I guess what I'm saying is 'how do you rehabilitate a Dark Eldar into something that could function in a reasonable universe and society?'

>>43600036

>how do you rehabilitate a Dark Eldar into something that could function in a reasonable universe and society?

By turning them back into a regular eldar

Never.

Never.

Depends on the group and the game. I was running a playtest for a weird metasystem called Break, and the first session ended with the PCs putting a crack in the sun. That was fun.

Other than non-Voodoo zombies, there's a few I can think of off the top of my head.

>Cult of former humans who, due to exceptional circumstances or their own free will, consumed human flesh. Over time, the consumption to feed exclusively on human flesh began to corrupt them, and their desire for flesh overrode any and all other personality traits they may have had, and the residual magic of their actions and their surroundings turned them into silent, barely-humanoid creatures of the night, who despite their ferocity and inhumanity still retain a large amount of their cunning and intellect.

Alternatively,

>man who has been possessed by a particularly insidious demon. The demon grants him charisma, power, strength, and intellect, as well as great health, but at a price - he must kill a specific type of person whenever the demon demands it be done. While this is usually at a specific intervals and in a specific manner, the demon can make those demands at any time, and they must be complied with in a reasonable time frame, or else the demon will full-on possess his body, turning it into a horrific monster and casting the mans soul irreversibly into whatever particular hell your setting has with no hope of resurrection. While the demon takes the long-game approach, and feels it can sate itself better by siphoning off a little at a time over a long period rather than a brief but hyper-violent existence, it has no problems killing the man - after all, he can always possess a new body.
>this man will most likely be a well-liked and upstanding member of the community, with a great many people who love and depend on him.

Yes, obscure folkloric monsters that impersonate humans.

You could always make something up.
