Playing with siblings is a surefire way to start a fight.

>>55364510
Can't say I ever even finished a game with my friends and we've played it a lot.

>>55364456
Because no-one wants to read long, winding explanations how a culture works before starting on the plot. That's why you say stuff like 'Roman Empire but with orcs' so everyone is immediately on the same page and can go on to the fun from the start.

>>55364456
Actually anon, they write that way because most people are interested in human stories through a common cultural lens rather than attempting to understand alien cultures and values. Hope this helps.

>>55364456
Feel free to write the next great fantasy novel.

Good luck!

I guess I'll start. A device that slowly disrupts chemical bonds in organic carbon based molecules is introduced into the world. Living creatures start feeling sick, eventually dropping dead after which their bodies rapidly deteriorate into dust in matter of hours. Result is a sterile world filled with dry bone carcasses of beings that once inhabited it and choking dust storms almost constantly roll across the wastelands.

Crust of earth removed intact, internal mantle used to create a new earth while the broken and inhabited shell collapses into a solar-radiation scoured vacuum fragments. Some poor fools in sealed bunkers might survive a little while until resources run out.

As the shell falls apart, you get massive plates of rock and ice drifting about inside the hollow shell and outside it. Some frozen/burnt ruins of human civilization yet remain, and of course there's corpses floating in the void everywhere.

Humans become infertile.

That guy was the GM in one of the games I was in. He had it out for my little plague rat. I left the game by suiciding into a giant Kaiju who later resulted in a TPK.

My GM killed half the party last week, never playing with that guy again.

>Get invited to a game by a friend to replace a player who quit
>Meet up with everyone except That Guy (he wasn't there for this session).
>Catch up on the plot and decide to make an apprentice wizard from a major academy city the party is about to visit and wants to form an alliance with, plus the party needs an arcane caster anyway (their only casters are a cleric and bard, and they mostly just do healing).
>Next session That Guy shows up.
>DM is introducing my character and having me show them around the city as their representative from the academy, and the head of the academy basically wants me to travel with the party for a bit to see if they're trustworthy and worth making an alliance with.
>It has literally not been 10 minutes yet
>That Guy (playing a Barbarian) proceeds to bitch endlessly about how the plot is "all about the wizard, because DnD is always about wizards"
>That guy decides he hates me, hates the city, hates mages, and when we meet with the academy head he decides to threaten her into an alliance "or else", much to the horror or me and everyone else.
>Instantly gets knocked out and arrested, because he decided to threaten what's basically the equivalent of a countess or queen who's also one of the most powerful mages in the setting and she had the other academy teachers with her.
>We go out of our way to try and persuade her that his actions were just the result of stress from adventuring and travel.
>We literally get him out of jail like 2 hours later (like 10 minutes IRL).
>That guy now basically wants the campaign to be about killing everyone at the academy.
>Spends the next 40 mins vehemently arguing this, and re-bitching about how magic can do everything and the DM is railroading by not instantly letting him kill everyone.
>Glares at me the entire time like this is all my fault
>After the session, I tell the DM flatout that the game isn't for me if That Guy is around.
>Friend tells me this is why the first guy quit too

>you pick the game?

>+6 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom
>Medium Size. Base land speed is 30 feet.
>Darkvision out to 60 feet.
>Special Qualities: Naturally Psionic, Inertial Armor, Spell Resistance equal to class levels +5
>Automatic Languages: Khalan. Bonus Languages: Common, a bluh, a blah
>Favored Class: Psychic Warrior
>Level Adjustment: +2

>Naturally Psionic: Protoss gain 2 bonus power points. This benefit does not grant them the ability to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class. Power points do allow a character to make use of psionic feats and attempt to gain psionic focus.

>Inertial Armor: Protoss can use psychic force to block an enemy's blows. This ability gives them a +4 armor bonus to AC as long as they remain conscious. This is the equivalent of a 1st-level spell.

Gandhi's India.
US of A.
Austria-Hungary Empire.

Mongolians
Chinese
Alexander the Great and his successors (Ptolemy, the Seleucids, et cetera)
Egypt
Spaniard conquistadors or Portuguese
Russia
Turkey
Fuck it, the Americans went and conquered Natives and the Philippines (after Spain was done with them), you could even do that if you want a steep technology difference
France conquered all sorts of shit too, throughout their entire history.
The Dutch and the Belgians during their colonial period were particularly brutal

All sorts of empires out there trying to enslave everyone at once, tons of choices, bro.

>"You know captain, you should become a maiden, too. Why? Because we get the power of divine protection from the ichnia. In the same way, I think my feelings are giving you strength. You don't understand? It's hard to explain feelings." Diola shrugged, managing to turn the motion into a graceful dismissal.
>Xolotl has the divine ability to impact any and all things within it's domain
>Xolotl's Howl in the Distance inflicts Reality Distortion

Why not indeed.
"Ti Icniuhtli Xolotl!"

Was a fun event.
In terms of games, I can distinctly recall one M&M3 one-shot I played in where one of the characters pretty much did this. Threw a giant pop concert performance (her day job) as a trap for the villain, who we knew was looking for a place with a lot of potential hostages. Was a fantastic climax battle, and managed to trick the audience into thinking it was some kind of light show.
Plan almost failed pretty badly, our Inspector Gordon stand-in chewed the group out behind a closed door for recklessly endangering a bunch of innocent people.

CYOAs like these are why people hate us on /tg/.

And before anyone says anything, no he does not know what FATAL is. Nor has he ever heard of it.

>>55356633
you evil motherfucker

>>55356651
Congratulations, you broke your friend. His petty mortal mind will either crumble upon itself before he gets through the table of contents or he will reborn as a more powerful and much more weird and socially outcast human being. Either way, he will never be the same

But ask him to run a campaign in it after he's done just for shit and giggles

>>55356025

Second character concept

>>55355487
Neither has any range or mobility worth mentioning: They'll both chump hard to anyone they can't just saunter up to and smack.
They're both decent melee combatants, but Miranda doesn't really feel interesting mechanically, what with not having any real noncombat powers. Reaction healing is also something to ask your GM about, since it's absurdly powerful.

>>55355772
My my defense Rupert does have his Chains and his Create power, which have Ranged and are built for taking out most mobile character.

Miranda's basepoint was literally the one of the most boring "powers" you could ever roll on the wiki: Peak Human Endurance if you wanna look it up. So I didn't really have much to work with there.

lol, what a fag

>>55349374
Are you new to the HH? Magnus was already corrupt and Chaos "just as planning" everyone is the main theme.

>>55349374
HH made me turn against Russ and the Wolves completely. Then again, HH made me turn against a lot of people, primarily GW employees.
