A greaser, chad, cheerleader and nerdy girl would make a good, although stereotypical, group makeup.
Go with actual world history for this. Play up communism threats, early mcarthyism. dont be afraid to throw in some lovecraftian shit, even though that had more of a pre-40's vibe to me. Gangsters are a big issue, not in the al-capone sense, but more in the jimmy hoffa incidents.

You don't plan adventures. You plan encounters. Adventures happen.

>>53770283
also, presidential assasination, threat of nuclear war, space aliens, really anything could fit appropriately. make a dozen or so plothooks that you can run off in sequential order if the players brush one or more off. then, all you have to do is study up and roll with it.
if you play the borderline sandbox-type of games, stick to it. no point in being rigid as a gm if you are naturally flexible. a general story plan helps though, regardless of your flexibility.

The only name I want to gasp in reverence is that of my lover! I want to worship her body and all it's delights!

Reminder that only non-meme apps will make it into Ensoulment.

Been there, done that, got the hickey.

I still prefer to pray to something a little further removed, something higher and with greater perspective, when I need spiritual guidance.

First for chad marines a shit.

>>53769958
piss off man, theres already like 2 other generals open

3rd for the one true general

You should take a look at the Shadow of the Demon Lord rulebook for inspiration.

I had some ideas for a whole set of fish monsters for a game, based on the idea of "what if the fishing hamlet didn't get turbowrecked immediately" if OP wants.

As for where to start your players, I would go personally with the "a bunch of travelers enter Yharnam for various reasons, but then shortly after their arrival disaster strikes and they become trapped in the city". It means they can have lots of interesting sub plots related to why they were they in the first place.

>>53769292
OP Here.

I would love to hear your ideas on the fishing hamlet stuff and namely how I should make the nightmare areas work.

As for story ideas, so far I think I will have the players either needing the blood healing or being conscripted. I was playing around with the Church being corrupt, going so far as to say that they are the purposely spreading the scourge and dispatching of those that disagree with their methods. Maybe that's why the Powder Kegs are held up in Old Yharnam?

Do you have any ideas on how I can incorporate the factions of Bloodborne such as Mensis, Byrgenwerth, Powder Kegs, etc. to give my players access to tasks and ways to play with them?

I know this is a lot questions, and I apologize. I am not confident in my DMing skills lol. Thanks in advance!

Leave and get a better group. You can't fix stupid.

If they want Skyrim, give them Skyrim. Put on the kiddy gloves and make sure they can win everything without challenge, because their stupid asses aren't going to change their behavior even when they've died each time. You'll hate running it for them, but they'll have fun.

>but I don't-

Find a new group then. You've already done everything in your power to make things work and change things up, and they haven't. All you can do now is change your group.

If it releases without at least three caveats to it, whether DRM, micropayments, or just preorder nonsense, I'll eat a shoe

You mean humanoid races or you mean antropomorphised animals as fictional sentient (Or is it sapient?) species?

orkz is green , there's nothing to settle.

>>53767716
Greenish and pig-like. See some of asanagi's work to get a clear picture.

ask the scout what is so pleasant about it?

Nothing, it can't be that bad.

>>53767625
Doesn't look pleasant at all.

As a proponent of old-school roleplaying and a fan of Lovecraft, I feel you've got a good thing going and would like to encourage you to keep it up, for /tg/ as a whole can be far from encouraging.

You may wish to let /osrg/ know, for they have others like me there: >>53744388

In Nyra, I long ago made an effort not to integrate the classical Tolkien species into the world. Instead I sought to create new species with their own unique cultures and biologies. The only species that should be familiar to you are Humans and the Highlanders.

The Humans are exactly what we would expect of them. They are Machiavellian, imperialistic, and have maintained their power through a mixture of adaptability and brutal military conquest. The humans have maintained control of one of the largest continents in Nyra. However, their king, King Doran, is too psychotic to even be acceptable to the largely impoverished people of this nation. The kingdom overseen by Doran is shaky, held together by fear and tyranny. There is a sense that it cannot last and that a violent revolution is brewing.

Meanwhile across the ocean are the Ethakkra. The Ethakkra are satyr-like people, with their top halves covered in fur and the heads of anthropomorphic goats (pictured: left). They are the second most powerful species on the planet, vying for their control through economic control. They are focused upon deception to achieve their means. In their society, to deceive someone else is considered good and the person who has been deceived is considered stupid or naive. Despite this, they are very ordered, because what is held sacrosanct, is that those who have gained power deserve to have it. Only if one thinks they can take that power, do they ever disrespect their superiors.

Thumbnail looked like Beyblade, but personally I'd probably bring back Dragon Dice, rebalance it and work out a new Dice/Stat system, then create a large throwing mat that adds a sort of Shuffleboard distance mechanic.

>>53766297

Man, Dragon Dice was fun back in the day. There was actually an attempt at the revival, although it never seemed to catch on. Still, I bought a few sets when I could.

>>53766203

I actually looked at these on Kickstarter, but they were crazy expensive for something I honestly didn't see myself really using that much.

>When making a character what comes first for you?

What type of game is the DM trying to run, and what personality will fit into that kind of game. I usually write character info before even picking a class.

Class. I almost always decide the character class first, then race, then personality.

I'm the type of guy who determines powers, abilities, and a centralized theme revolving around that first, and then I build everything else based on the idea in my head. Though I should note that I don't care about the strength or mechanical optimization behind a character so long as he fits the image I've conjured. Raw power doesn't matter as much as the theme of the power itself. I might want to play an Artificer, for example, or I might want to play a Devoted Knight, or a devil-pact Warlock, and from there I build the rest of the character around it.

>>53765974
Mechanics, if it doesn't have mechanical options it's a dead character. The beauty of RP is it's fluff you can get milage out of. But at the end of the day you're going to need more than it to solve problems. Bonus if you can get both like OoA pallys.

Never read LotR, but I'll go on a whim and take up Fingon by sheer virtue of being the biggest sword here.

>"Hey Fingon! How's it going?"

>>53766003
You really want to be exposed to all that impotent rage? You're probably going to have to explain to him that Silmarils don't exist, which is sure to be a good time for everyone involved.

A woman can't rape anyone, especially a man.

Just have other NPCs not necessarily agree with the priests statement.

He's got his reason to think the knight is blessed, but someone else might think differently.

>rape
>is this tasteless

Probably not bro. But hey, if you want to fuck some dogs and shit in your games I'm not going to stop you.

You'd require a group of very close friends, the sort that can put any kinds of shit to the games without it being weird because they know each other so well. If you have to ask, you probably won't have such a group.

That said, incest is probably still fine. People have married their siblings and cousins across history.

Just have it be taboo.
Like, make it a big fucking deal
