With players of working age you will have trouble scheduling regular sessions. About every other months is what my players manage.

In the US you will certainly have an easier time finding players for DnD than for CoC. The question is what kind of players are going to show up. Beer & pretzel games are easier to set up than narrative character stories, people can wind down for a few hours of combat encounters instead of cranial exertion.

>>43079493
I don't have a huge selection of people to play with so it's more or less going to be the same people playing so it's not like they won't come if it's DnD or vise versa. It seems like there's a lot more work that goes into setting up a DnD game though.

Seems like there are a ton more rules and setting up an adventure takes longer. I've only ever played CoC so it's not like I can compare the two.

>>43079560
DnD is cluttery. There's detail rules for every greedy player and they don't follow any inner logic while also being distributed over countless splatbooks. The game is much harder to get into than BRP and chargen can take sessions while only delivering combat stats.

That said, setting up an adventure is much easier because all you have to do is present somewhat balanced combat encounters for which there is a rating to compare. You can just take a map, put loot and monsters in every room, and tell the players the treasure is down there. You don't have to know fuckall about the story, NPCs, or any secrets they might be having. Just keep rolling dice and dishing out drops.

But I'd rather look into mixing it up with games like Dread, Don't Rest Your Head, or Monsters and Other Childish Things. If you want Fantasy look at Runequest, Torchbearer, and Reign. DnD lives off of marketing, not quality.

Off the top of my head, there's an old Official WWF RPG from the early 90s, Know Your Role, Squared Circle, Wild World Wrestling, World Wide Wrestling, Kayfabe, Luchador, splats for All Flesh Must Be Eaten and HERO System, and probably some others too. What exactly are you looking for?

I'm all for Neuromancer-esque Japan shit, as long as there's some in-universe reason for it. Shadowrun does this *somewhat* well by giving an alternate timeline bullshit reasoning for it. But no way would katanas come back unless WWII Imperial Japan took over the world or some shit

The Silver Dragon dies to a poisoning, and reverts forms in the middle of the festival.

>>43071789
that actually sounds interesting to me. might steal if i ever do start to DM

No.
I'm sure that she would instead use her draconic magic to set up an elaborate tournament with the money she spends on the festival for wannabe heroes in a sort of mass LARP-ing, once she got the cooperation of nearby governments of the nations she wants to draw on..
Like a Tournament of Heroes taking place once every ten years.

As for adventure hooks:
>One character has been mistaken for an actor caught up in a role involving a love triangle, and the actors only drop the facade in private.
>The silver dragon bribes one of the characters to stir up emotional turmoil in the party in exchange for an item of great value.
>One of the NPC actors accidentally gets affected by magic and actually believes he is the character he's playing.
>A bunch of no-gooders rob a shop while the festival is going on.
>Everything's fun and games until a real-life grudge comes to a head during the tournament and people are actually in danger of dying.

so I have this homebrew, I want to run it in WoD. I have most everything now except stats (http://i.4cdn.org/tg/1444841955858.pdf
) I didn't manage to stat anything before because my library was woefully out of date. My collections up to date now, but I misplaced the list of books to source my monster-statting...

So far the only Wolf-Blooded in my werewolf game that's gotten any attention(that I know of) is a friend of our Rahu, an actor on a soap opera-type show filmed in the city we're in, who wants to fuck a werewolf.

We've got 3 others, but so far I don't think we've actually interacted with any of them.

>>43072109
Is there a specific individual he wants to have sex with who just happens to be a werewolf, or is he specifically looking for a werewolf to fuck?

>I am in the progress of creating my own RPG
>I am not very experienced in tabletop games

Sounds great. I plan on building a car this weekend. I have no mechanical background, and can't even change my own oil, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Do you think it would be better to paint it blue or red?

My friends like it better than fow for sure. Haven't played it so I can't give informative opinion.

I find the game really enjoyable. One of my favorite aspects is how units are activated by each player after pulling an order die from a bag instead of separate turns. I feel this system helps alleviate the monotony of having little to do during your opponents turn and the randomness can lead to some suspenseful situations.

GURPS.

First, why are you trying to get them to try something new if they're perfectly happy?

Second, if it's just because YOU'RE unhappy with 5e, have you tried explaining this?

>>43068099

Probably should have explained that. Yeah I hate 5e, to many options so every character ends up being this hyper exotic snowflake half dragon/elf/orc/tiefling thats also an aasimar. I've tried homebrewing the rules a bit to make it a bit more fun to play for me, I am the DM but I can have fun to right? Players don't like the changes because it makes combat and encounters harder. I feel like this is more an issue of Happiness = Reality - Expectation, They expect to be demigods and if they aren't more than that it's not fun; I feel like scaling it back a bit will help with this. When you expect to be shit all the way up to 20th level being anything more than that is pretty nice.

on the map (2) which shows the webway gates of the eldar, we can again see the nightmare moon marked in the same location, just as the talismans, pavonis and naogeddon. all of these are marked with same rune and are a 'monitored site'. the ymga monolith is also marked but with a different rune indicating that it is not related to the other objects, or it might not be even of eldar origin. rune used is the same as rune used to mark the hadex anomaly.
in the centre of the galaxy there is infinity spiral. i guess that it is a massive infinity circuit that eldar use. it is possible that there is connection to the eldar myth of the end times and creation of ynnead. now it would make sense that the dark gates of rhidhol are actal gates, or passage to the infinity spiral (which is arked as a webway gate here, said spiral could be kept in the webway). this would explain why the c'tan have to be kept outside of the gates, but also there is evidence that there might be a c'tan beyond the gates.

map (3). gates of varl are marked near the centre of galaxy. probably the same thing as gates of rhidhol. ymga monolith is marked with the 'unknown' symbol. the same symbol is used to mark XCV-104 in the north. this location corresponds to the location of talismans on map 2

map (5). noageddon is near atun necron dynasty and is/was home of the deceiver, just as pavonis was home to nightbringer and is located close to sekemtar dynasty. lyriax is avoided by the tyranid swarm and most likely is the location of the outsider, which also is near aroptek dynasty. moon of nightmares is located somwhere near thokt or sarnekh dynasties, and most likely is related to necrons, just like most of eldar monitored sites. ymga monolith is close to sautekh dynasty which also is most powerful and most influential. the theory i have is that ymga monolith was constructed by necrons to attract the tyranids. tyranids would cleanse the galaxy of all life while the necrons were sleeping in their tombs. this would further weaken the c'tan. this would also explain the presence of ymgarl genestealers and other tyranid species encountered before any of the major hive fleets reached galaxy. if the tyranids were attracted by the astronomican, they would have 10000 years to travel to our galaxy. however they do not have faster than light travel and so , they would need much more time to travel.
in the centre you can find cocholus, which is in region where the gates can be found.
of the interesting locations on this map, there is black planet, and the well of time and seidon

I have several Deaths.

My most classic/oldest version is Chernabog/Neith, a giant skeleton wearing a cloak of crow feathers that wields a scythe. He is one of the oldest gods along with light, time, and destruction. He is actually tied with Aurelia, goddess of the sun, for being the most powerful god. He actually controls the afterlife and usually gives the dead an everlasting euphoric dream to live in.

My setting had the God Wars and Death was a harvest god before, hence his iconic scythe and common name, the Grim Reaper.

I'm not trying to straight up model Bret in the army, I'm just using the model line as a base.

But yea, I was looking at stuff like that.

>>43065507
Seems a very Slaaneshi army.
They already have the House Devine, the original Chaos Knight house, were the pilots now are decadent and incestous offspring of corrupted knights and nobles.
A CSM version of that would be pretty awesome and fit quite well.

tell the Emperor immediately. the prince can't possibly get far in the, like, six minutes it takes for me to alert him.

Welp, time to fake my death and buy a forged SIN again. This is, what, the third time this year? I don't know how but I'm certain this is the psychotic dwarven swordept's fault somehow. I should really stop hanging out with that guy.

>>43065025
I hold the prince down and extend my proboscis and penetrate his larynx. I proceed to lay my eggs in him. His lover will never accept him again and the Empire will be safe.

Probably.
