Well I'm going to be the first one to say it because I have a bit of experience with that.

Either talk to them and inform them that they are not to meddle in the affairs of non-members.

Or just try and encourage others members to form coalitions of there own.

It's just your amazon musclegirl magic realm, isn't it.

No that's a separate one. That one is kept next to my other fetish realms.

This one is an actual question in terms of a world that actually makes sense, and how it functions.

>>54414842
That's not gay, that's femboi. Which is much worse.

Ants, termites and bees could be examples for tiny people society I think.

>>54414656
Not really.
You can get a +2 on checks in 3.pf by using a masterwork instrument, and PF requires a couple of barely useful bard things use an instrument. (Note that technically you can buy a masterwork rool of Perform: Sing or any other instrumentless perform tool if you really need that +2.)
Aside from that, you're far better off not having an instrument. You free up one or more hands, don't risk it being destroyed, and don't risk being disarmed.

>>54414656
Oddly enough, I think 5e does this, though it's more for the fact that a Bard has to use a physical Instrument as a focus for casting spells, and can't use their voice or dancing.

They start with proficiency in 3 different instruments for free, so you do have some variety and could probably justify some pretty easy stuff like a tambourine if you wanted to be a dancer or singer more primarily, but it does balance them out with other classes that will need to take up at least one hand with their casting implement instead of using a sword and shield while casting freely. Otherwise using their voice would be quite overpowered, though you could still manage it by only using spells with Verbal components.

Still, that does mean there is a tradeoff to using voice alone versus an instrument.

Should just be a bugler or drum major. Until the advent of radio, they played a crucial role to relay orders in battles.

>>54414404
That's... actually interesting. Make the player decide how badly they fucked up. May cause a unique outcome.

>one (former) foreverDM player keeps criticizing everything I do in a way that's not constructive enough for me to use
As in during the game? What a cunt nugget. If he did it afterwards, that's different, though.

Have you read through Robin's Laws of Good Gamemastering? It can help. A lot of GMing is in the attitude and the ability to roll with the blows, but RLoGG can be a pretty useful first step.
Another bit of advice is read through John Wick's "Play Dirty," and then do the exact opposite of what that asshat tells you to do.

April is a tranny, right? I don't pay attention to anyone that gives off any mental illness vibe so I've listened to April twice.

>>54412660
Yes, a militant tranny with the most annoying lispy voice ever.

>>54412660
Gad damn mostly this. Fuck caring about the tranny life style or background or whatever.

That voice is like nails on a chalk board, and every thought or sentence kills at least 18 brain-cells.

Chaos demons are like 500 time worse.

Salvation War is shit

>Chaos demons are like 500 time worse.

*Citation needed.

Salvation war demons are 8 ft tall, have extra thick hides, regeneration and wear armour. Some anon made a spot on discription of the baldricks as being bears wearing extra thick crocodile hides who regenerate. They certainly are not pushovers and they have a huge army.

The military force is stated to be 6666 legions of 6666 demons each, but only 999 are the standing army, with even that having a lot of reservists and requiring weeks to be combat ready.

Which comes out to them having a standing force of 44,435,556 Soldiers not counting their various monsters and cavelry mounts.

But granted they "only" have 6,659,334 for the standing military.

>>54412770
All powerful isn't the right word. The giant strong enough where fighting is the hardest way possible to deal with it.

I should've also mentioned that it's not D&D, so it could be a non-combat campaign. So no ending in a huge climactic battle. It can end that way, but again, that's the hardest possible way to deal with it.

>>54412069
Don't make it a giant

Magic works a lot better than physical force to make pcs comply with the narrative

Maybe a Djinn that has the physical country in a bottle

or some neoclassical cult that's using the situation to literally worship the economy

as for motivation specifically ask the players to write a most precious thing into their backstories without hinting you'll be ransoming it
hard to ignore treasure you create for yourself

>>54411636
Darius elevates Daniel to high office, exciting the jealousy of other officials. Knowing of Daniel's devotion to his God, his enemies trick the king into issuing an edict forbidding worship of any other god or man for a 30-day period. Daniel continues to pray three times a day to God towards Jerusalem; he is accused and King Darius, forced by his own decree, throws Daniel into the lions' den. But God shuts up the mouths of the lions, and the next morning Darius rejoices to find him unharmed. The king casts Daniel's accusers into the lions' pit together with their wives and children to be instantly devoured, while he himself acknowledges Daniel's God as he whose kingdom shall never be destroyed.
