So we all know "You meet in a bar" is the most cliche way to start a roleplaying campaign. But it's an easy way to kick things off, so it continues to be used.
What are some better ways to start a campaign and have the player characters meet? I think it would be great to start a campaign with the PCs attending a funeral, maybe even with one or more as pallbearers. Then, at the wake, an NPC gives the adventure hook. A wedding could be another good mutual social obligation to bring disparate people together, but I like the funeral idea better.

You all meet at job interview / casting for extras / welfare queue.

I started a M:tAW campaign with all the PCs meeting eachother at their mentors funeral once. Gave a good foundation for it, shame the game died super quick.

>>53890015
The funeral thing would actually be a good one. I'm surprised I've never thought of it before myself.

What would a ruined city the size of a plane be like, and would it be a good campaign setting?
Assuming that the city is so massive that the sky is almost never visible, and the deeper you go, the older and more decayed the ruins.

It's called a Hive City. Nice idea.

Yeah, but fantasy (as "plane" would imply, though I should have been clearer about that), orders of magnitude larger, and with no way to remove the vast ruins.Also because the city IS the fabric of the plane, there is no solid ground underneath, just more ruins, and the entire plane wraps around in all 3 dimensions

Okay.
I'm totally fucked.
I have to run a campaign in 2 weeks for 6 people.
None of them have played before.
I have never DM'd before.
I was all set to make a short dnd thing since I found pdfs for it online and I figured I could dm it decently.
But they've all gotten together and decided what they want the campaign to be and have now passed it on to me.
So I have to figure out how to make Kill la Kill tabletop.
In 2 weeks.HELP

What system? If you say 5e, abandon your project now.
However if you haven't decided yet... Savage Worlds will probably be best, just institute the death rules from Toon to make it more anime, and to prevent frustration from the SW exploding dice.
>>
If you could get your hands on tri stat (a.k.a. BESM) your set. Maybe ninja burger for a super light game. If you want a real challenge try Anima beyond fantasy.
Or drink pool chemicals and brake fluid, whichever.

Seconded. I'd say use GURPS as an alternative to SW if that doesn't pan out, but that invites a nightmarish mix of balance issues and potential problems that only a more seasoned DM should have to put up with.

Alright, I'm sorry for the shitposting. Honestly I'm just trying to work out a decent comedy routine on here as part of me satirizing the /tg/ user's behavior. It's honestly hilarious that, despite how often /tg/ insists it's made up of more than one person, it's actually really easy to predict actions given group behavior. It's really something that needs to be satirized, if only to point it out.
Oh, and also I'm sorry for NOT derailing the "Elves Are" thread and preventing someone from spamming the shit out of that meme. That really is on me. Should've carried through on my initial threat, instead got sucked in by the Marcille Cutes.

Is there a right way and a wrong way to do factions? I'm so tired of the "here's a camp, talk to their leader and do their missions against the other camp" approach to this. It feels too gamey

Don't do that for a start.

>>53888400
and what's the alternative
>>
>>53888427
Just keep in mind that factions consist of people. They aren't monolithic entities. There will be internal tensions and differences, there will be members with ties to other factions. People can belong to or be affiliated with multiple factions - members of this family, that church, their place of work and so on.

New edition was kickstarted a ?year? or so ago, and is actually rather on track, from what I can tell.
Also, rather fun game.
>>
>>53886757
I've played several games of it.
It's... good, fun, a lot of promise, but it is outrageously broken, with more than a handful of virtual I Win At This buttons, and a few actual I Win At This buttons.
It has all the problems of early WW mechanics magnified x4 due to the power scale. I mean, seriously, when you need to roll 40+ dice for a single action, you have gotten beyond the rim of sense.
As above anon said tho, there is a new edition that I've been keeping eyes on coming.
>>
Has the new edition came out yet, or is it later this year?
Being how I've been told that GURPS can do anything, one of the things I've always wanted to do is to put this to a test by letting the players indeed do anything.
Give them, say, hundred points, then tell them to go nuts.
How viable is this actually in practice? Would there be a better system for this kind of games?

>100 points
Sure, that'd work, as long as "anything" is defined as "about as strong as an ordinary person".
250 points is the typical level for "heroic" characters like Special Forces soldiers and street-level superheroes; once you start getting into the significantly superhuman (AI killing machines, flying brick superheroes) you start looking at scores on the tier of 500+.
Megatron easily costs far more points than any of those others; I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he spent more points on Damage Reduction *alone* than most of them spent on their entire characters.
>>
Well, a hundred points is very little, so they couldn't actually get that much without lacking in some other areas. Otherwise, if the players are either affiliated with the system, or helped by the GM, very viable.
>>
>>53886604
Maybe a more rules-light game would work better for this. 100 (or 200, or whatever) points can be spent in a lot of ways, and if the players are all newbies, you might see PCs raging from amazing to near-useless. In even the wildest of campaigns, tossing the books at the players is a poor approach. I would say that the system would work well for crossover games, but you'd need to check sheets and be there for chargen like for any other GURPS game.
