I've said it once and I'll say it again, we throw shit. We throw shit really well, and we throw shit really accurately. We can instinctively lead a target to hit a moving object. We're pretty much the only thing on the planet that can. Even the next runners up, chimps, are nowhere near as good as us at throwing shit. Our thing should be the modern application of throwing shit, ballistics, because other races need a computer to hit shit, and we don't.

I prefer humans being the technology race.

Alright, so it's a Farsight Enclave. Now we need a d10 for the terrain.

I will never have enough time to run all of the games and player all of the characters I'm interested in.

the hitpoint system fucking sucks at early levels. I was the tankiest guy in the group as the fighter and I literally got one shot by some orc at level 2. Just cross your fingers and hope the dice don't fuck you.

vent your frustrations with CoC, /tg/

Time travel to the past?

You didn't say he could see into the past. Kill him before he rises to power

In every potential future I'm 9 thick inches deep in him.

It's why he is evil. It's what has always driven him. The desperate, terrible need to change the inescapable future. To prove fate wrong and change things.

What damage type is recommended for being stuck by an attack in the form of a sudden charge of water? Like, getting blasted by a powerful fire hose or something.

Bludgeoning? The water's not necessarily cold or hot so it's not necessarily cold or fire damage.

haha he maek noise

>The best fantasy is written in the language of dreams. It is alive as dreams are alive, more real than real... for a moment at least... that long magic moment before we wake. Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli. Reality is plywood and plastic, done up in mud brown and olive drab. Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end. Reality is the strip malls of Burbank, the smoke-stacks of Cleveland, a parking garage in Newark. Fantasy is the towers of Minas Tirith, the ancient stones of Gormenghast, the halls of Camelot. Fantasy flies on the wings of Icarus, reality on Southwest airlines. Why do our dreams become so much smaller when they finally come true?
>We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the song the sirens sang. There is something old and true in fantasy that speaks to something deep within us, to the child who dreamt that one day he would hunt the forests of the night, and feast beneath the hollow hills, and find a love to last forever, somewhere south of Oz and north of Shangri-La.
>They can keep their heaven. When I die, I'd sooner go to Middle Earth.

But of course, tax policy memers don't know that GRRM said that.

Becuase I want merman nomads that travel from ocean to ocean across the land and belive that you should only be polite to those weaker than you.

>>55310626
Because it's called fantasy, you fucking moron. If you want to play historical fiction, that's all well and good. You can have your own space to play Napoleon Quest or Crusaders and Conquerors or whatever the hell kind of historical setting gets your dick hard for the 5 minutes you read about it on Wikipedia. Meanwhile, the people who want to play fantasy can continue doing so.

Besides, there's already a setting like you described you can play in: it's called the Hyborian Age. Ever heard of it? If not, go look it up. It's pretty famous. Meanwhile, stop trying to change the way people play pretend in their free time. Faggot.

e. Temporarily enslaved to compensate for a temporary labor shortage, that their lowly forms might benefit humanity and their foul souls receive some form of penance, and THEN exterminated?

f. Exterminated with hand weapons, so that we do not waste the Emperor's ammunition nor His holy promethium.

Why All of the above of course. It's only fitting for perverting the true path of technology.

>Why does Fate/zero come up so often? And how is it WOD like?

It's as 'WOD like' as any other urban fantasy setting. Nothing special about it.

>>55309717

It's part of a popular Japanese franchise and the demographics of the site means that folks will naturally like it and want to tie it to other things they like. They're not very similar at all, though.

>>55309717
Type Moon is a setting where the main 'splats' are vampires and mages [and Heroic Spirits]. The vampires work a LOT like Masquerade, the mages work a LOT like Awakening, so there's a lot of crossover in concepts.
>>55309755
I don't think its all-encompassing as you're saying, and furthermore aren't most Obsessions related to the supernatural?

Dissecting vampires also is not scary.

>>55308614
Which anime is that?

The only thing I can think of right now is Costume Fairy Adventures, and I'm not sure whether that was ever completed.

Savage Worlds you can slap it in super easy.

Mutants and Masterminds you can slap it in super easy.

Hell you could do any system like this. Just make a base character who is untransformed, and then make some other characters that you swap to when you transform.

>>55308788
Pic is unrelated, but I've been watching Hina Logic. It's weeaboo trash that I don't think I would recommend to most people, but I personally have a soft spot for cute stuff. The Fate spinoff Prisma Illya has a similar function - cards can be equipped for a short term transformation, and they have varying different types of cards that are theoretically used for different situations. Don't watch Prisma Illya with ANYONE, though. Lock your doors, lights off, pretend you aren't home. It's got the highest levels of >friendship that I've ever seen.

I'm sure other magical girl anime does the same thing, but I haven't yet had the chance to go back and catch up on some of the classic ones that the genre is built on.

>>55308833
I'll take a look at those. I've heard Savage Worlds is pretty generally usable for lots of things, so that might be a good place to start.

>Hell you could do any system like this. Just make a base character who is untransformed, and then make some other characters that you swap to when you transform.

That's basically how I imagined things working. It's just that given DnD, any edition really, each class is built to specialize and ALSO be able to do a fair number of other things reasonably well. At that point, there will probably be one transformation that becomes obviously the best to stick to 90% of the time. My hope is to find something with highly specialized classes (or mod classes to be more highly specialized) to encourage swapping between forms and make that a regular part of every session.

There's a reason cliches are cliches anon, own it.

Nothing. Cliches exist for a reason: they work.

>>55308224
Cliches are fun.

I wish I had that job.

Steve jackson Games hasnt made anything else in god knows how long. Gotta find something to do to still be called a company.

honestly I'd play it. If it's like the Adventure Time expansion then the cards are gonna look nice at the very least.
