I'd like to think when it comes to the Japanese there are no hang-ups about what's suppose to fit where. Western audiences will sperge at the idea of guns and swords in fantasy but hey, don't mind me. I'm just riding around in my dope ass car on my way to the beach and i decided to get out, rent some chocobos and go kill a giant monster that decided to hold up in an abandonend power station. No biggie.

As if a classic story arc isn't fun every now and then, especially if you're introducing new players

>>54015232
I like the idea of a lich stealing abused kids or orphans and setting them on the path of magic (or to be his apprentices). Its all ok when hes grabbing the peasants kid, BUT! Instant plot hook when he takes the kid of a noble. Adventure ensues.

Here's a few ways you can make your fantasy dark.
>1. Low lights in the room, if you are playing IRL.
>2. Sound effects and menacing music while the group is travelling through a dungeon.
>3. Foreboding music when the group is in a safe place/resting somewhere, like the impending doom you will soon be imparting upon them.
>4. Make every action count: if the enemy is still alive, they can still attack the party and inflict damage. Addendum: reduce the healing so that the party cannot traipse through a dungeon full health.
>5. There are things worse than death. If a character is downed, then they could get grievously maimed/wounded instead, lose an arm or a leg and get a significant disadvantage on their next dungeon explorations.
>6. Make combat lethal for the current level of the party. Punish stupid mistakes they make and keep the possibility of unfairness open. They cannot always win in a fight, sometimes they HAVE to retreat.

>>54012244
You turn out the lights.

3d10

>>54011639
3d10 with 2 dice chosen, depending on the difficulty.

Easy? Take higher 2
Difficult? Take lowest 2

Incorporates another difficulty layer in the dice, and is easy to work around.

>>54011598
Just do 2d10. You have a 72% chance to get 10 or over with 2d10+1. Close enough.

>The addition of "-ilovepdf-compressed" in the file name is slightly annoying yet understandable.
You... know you can rename files, right?

>>54011196
It takes more time though, and (to my knowledge) firefox doesn't allow renaming before placing it into the download file.
When you have 60 files to rename, it becomes a chore.

Personally, I like the system from RoleMaster .
Anyone can learn magic, but only specialists can easily acquire the more powerful spells.
Characters have a "mana pool" to power their castings, and they choose whether to do a few high powered spells, more medium ones, many low level ones or a mixture of the three.
Each of the three"realms", and their hybrids, has an area that it excels at whilst still being able to produce generic attacks or defences.

Ritual Path Magic is the tits.

GURPS's impulse points system isn't supposed to be used this way, but it's kind of perfect for a tolkienesque subtle fate-based magic kind of approach.

Chaos Undivided is more than a pantheon a philosophy, it is the Eightfold Path, it is the Truth behind the curtain and the sin of knowledge, the revelation and the secret, it is many things but not a religion as we understand it. Chaos is freedom, ambition, power and glory, it is damnation but also reward, it is the moment when you break your chains, when you dispose of your humanity and when you embrace something so unfathomable that dives you insane but also ecstatic with the knowledge that your destiny is in your OWN hands.

When an enlightened one exults For Chaos! across the din of the battlefield he evokes this truth, he utters in words what his eye have seen and what his soul has felt when he opened his mind to the truth for the first time. When marching under the banner of Primordial Truth the warrior of Chaos does not favor a Exalted Power in particular way, neither he favors them all, but he is the herald of the Truth, the Truth of which destiny lies beyond the skein, the Truth that follows death, the Truth that power and ambition are rewarded, the Truth where you as an individual can become a literal god, an immortal, a being of such utter power only if you will it, only if you dare it.

Chaos Undivided is not a religion; it is a philosophy, a philosophy of the self interest, of tangible power and the shattering dread of the ultimate Truth. This philosophy teaches a human that if he is ambitious enough he would be rewarded, it teaches him that if he kills with the name of the True Gods on his lips he would catch their eye and receive their boon, it teaches him that one day he can become a demigod, a mortal no more, and all this if he only wills it and dares it.

The Primordial Truth is also the philosophy of the metaphysical, where reality and dogma shatter, a philosophy that teaches its followers that the laws of physic do not exist, that any laws are artificial, that dogma and ad a closed mind lead your soul to be shattered by the dreaded dream predators. Chaos Undivided is a philosophy that teaches you that you have a soul, teaches you that with your dreams you shape the universe and it teaches you that nothing is impossible, everything can be done if only one dreams it.

That is why a chosen one bears proudly the Star of Chaos even if he pledged his allegiance to only a variant of this philosophy, perhaps to Nurgle's teachings, it is because once you pass over the skein of reality and you see the vast landscapes of infinite possibilities nothing can ever be the same and everything becomes possible, all that is required is a simple dream.


>Though the gates that stand between the mortal world and the immortal Realm of Chaos are now closed to me, still I would rather die having glimpsed eternity than never to have stirred from the cold furrow of mortal life. I embrace death without regret as I have embraced life without fear.

>>54006632
Oh ok. So it's basically, how did LaVey put it, "just Ayn Rand's philosophy with ceremony and ritual added", cool.
