Just run Card Ranker.

Check out Build Gundam.

It's rather self aware of just how ridiculous it is.

As opposed to a splintered set of stagnant, inward looking monarchies with a stagnant, inward looking theocracy bossing them around?
Probably not, because it would splinter within half a century, and things would go on as they did in real life.

>>54402438
IDK about the splintering, would common soldiers want to rise against the holy father?

It would be pretty stable, if local dukes are kept on long enough leash.

Not really. There was plenty of heresy going around at all times and the time they had three popes was one of the calmer periods of church history.

Make them do their equipment shopping in Waterdeep, having to meet merchants of various guilds, priests from temples for services like blessings, and run into faction representatives in the taverns and drawing rooms of various places. Waterdeep is such a cosmopolitan city that it can have people from all over Faerun, who will happily talk about their country/land/people/magical order/whatever over a mug of cold ale.

Yeah, we all miss having quest threads on /tg/. Hopefully they're allowed back here soon.

>traveling to the next village with the two adventurers from before, we pick up a fellow of theirs
>we reach the village and get ambushed by the riders we were tracking, and end up retreating, then chasing to another village
>just outside of town we find an emaciated man chained from a tree on the path into town
>to my surprise the party is furious i cut the man down and give him food and drink
>seems were i saw a man in torture of starvation in need of aid, the party thought it a warning of the town ahead
>i carry understandably irritable chained man in to town and investiage whodunnit
>find out it was the sherrif, claiming the man a murderer, but i detect more than reasonable levels of evil when we meet
>wants to arrest me and execute the chained man immediately, the party pretends not to know me, those scoundrels

>explain to the perversely evil lawman that i was simply helping a man given cruel punishment
>request they release the man into my custody to be taken in and redeemed at the church
>sherrif refuses, and when i demand a trial be combat for my freedom and custody of chainz he jumps at the chance
>we meet at sunset in the town square and go toe to toe while the party takes bets and eats popcorn, i bring chainz and sit him on a barrel looking on the duel
>he almost defeats me with a pair of well aimed criticals, but i accidentally purge him to death with a smiting critcal
>during the fight, those more questionable by the day adventurers abducted chainz and delivered him to the mayor who locked him in the vacant sherrifs office
>when the mayor arrives and is satisfied by witness accounts that this was a perfectly legal and binding trial by combat and that chainz is to depart with me once we investigate the cult in town
>when i confront the party about their dick move, they refuse to join my investigation in favor of squid hunting

>unsure what to do alone, i decided to visit the church the mayor asked me to investigate alone, dressed in robes of my order to pretend to be a traveling priest seeking to learn more of other faith
>they were kind of creepy secretive and refused, and i took notice their decor and altars looked unlike those if the god they claimed to worship
>on my way out i run into te scoundrel type from the adventurers who asks me to run a distraction while he sneaks in and disguises as one of them
>i agree to get the mission done, but warn him not to do anything rash. I return inside and explain it was rude of me not to offer something to study first
>i reveal my enchanted/blessed greatsword given to me by my church and they recoil, presumably at its aura of good
>in the meantime the scoundrel knocks out and disguises as one of the priests and on my way out i take the knocked out man into the woods
>i tie him to a tree and ask him about his order and get no answers other than attempts at casting, so i must gag and simply watch him waiting for word from the party

Thats where latest session ended and i was wondering where to go from here. Group tension is high, i fear i may be an outlyer in an low alignment party

Tell me /tg/, should i collect my man to be redeemed and write myself out and play a more grey character?

A short story about a plan working against all odds.

>Playing Dark Heresy 1st Edition.
>Playing a Noble Assassin from a Rogue Trader family.
>Sent on a mission to recover a specific book that we didn't grab on a different mission, because we missed the chance to grab it amongst other things.
>Skipping over the boring stuff, we get the book and the bitch who took it too.
>We gotta wait for pickup, but the planet is way too dangerous due to a Slaugth being after us.
>Luckily a Rogue Trader's ship is in orbit, use connections to get a pickup. Turns out it's Dad.
>We stash the book and all seems safe.
>One day later, the book's gone.
>We run to the hanger to see a guncutter about to liftoff.
>We try to block the door, it still gets through
>Everyone seems fine with giving up the chase, since only one person on the team can barely pilot spacecraft.
>NotToday.jpg
>Grab the crappy pilot, force them to fly after it.
>Shoot out the engines while avoiding enemy ship fire, board the enemy guncutter with NPC men at arms.
>Fucking Slaugth, TWO OF THEM!
>Avoid the one who comes out to fight, leave the men as distraction.
>Get inside Guncutter, face to face with a Slaugth.
>Do a smart and hit the button that opens the doors.
>Slaugth and myself are sucked into space, it still has the book.
>Shitty pilot (Also the team Psyker) flies to come get me.
>Use grapple gun to grab the book.
>Roll strength test against the Slaugth, who is super fucking strong.
>SLAUGTH FAILS STRENGTH TEST!
>Get the book, shitty pilot manages to not kill me on pickup. Fly back to ship.
>Did all of this while barely passing rolls, high use of fate points, and a bit of determination.
>GM tells me by actually succeeding in all this, I ended up making the party skip a third of the plot he had prepared for the next session.

I think basing design off of what percentage of people agree with it is, while it sounds good, is actually a recipe for disaster.

Mechanics individually aren't worthwhile until we see how it plays together with the whole of the mechanics.

>>54399290
well, thats why i put it in at such a low percentage for the vote and also just in ranks which can also be adjusted manually by promoted sortmakers decided by staff.

Look up towergirls, a creation of a number of artists and folk who sometimes have threads for it on tg. Cut out the explicitly sexy stuff if that isn't what you're aiming for

I hear a lot about Deadlands and Dogs in the Vineyard, but this kind of setting never was my kind of stuff. Maybe you should check it out.

Watch a few of the classic western films. The Good the Bad and The Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Magnificent Seven, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More.

I haven't played them personally, but try the Call of Jaurez games. If you can find it, an older game called Samurai Western for the PS2. Oh, and Red Dead Revolver.

>Deadlands
Is best setting. Strongly recommended regardless of what people are actually wanting to play.
