If someone is wearing a bikini on an adventure, chainmail or otherwise, logic is obviously less important than aesthetic in the setting and story.

And you know what? That's fine. I am entirely okay with dumb bikini armour and stuff if it's well designed and used appropriately in an over the top fantasy setting. Attempts to justify it just annoy me at this point. It's dumb. Accept that it's dumb, and enjoy it for what it is.

Whatever you need to do to justify your magical realm OP, but that's a nice goddam picture.

>>52128190
Armor bikinis only work if it's 1. A very hot climate where people are gonna be sweating their assess off and 2. Only worn for gladiator/ceremonial fights where the point is to put on a good show with lots of blood, not actual protection.

Dune applied this even further, with gladiators using half-shields that purposefully only projected the force field around half their body, in addition to fighting shirtless with swords.

Wearing an armorkini into a dungeon is stupid. If you want to be scantily clad, pick a caster and fluff your starting outfit as revealing, with Mage Armor it doesn't matter anyways.

Maybe I'm remember my desert and rain forest fashion wrong, but don't they typically wear more (and light weight) clothes due to the risk of sunburn, bugs and shit? Wouldn't it make more sense in a more temperate climate where the average late spring-to-early-fall temperatures are where it would more comfortable to be in less clothing?

I'm curious, why did you even click on this thread? From the topic it should be very obvious it's not something that appeals to you, so why do it?

Is your only purpose in this to spoil other peoples fun? Do you actively seek out things you dislike and try to make it worse for other people because you have nothing better to do? That's kinda sad.

There are ways to make armor sexy anon. The disc nipple armor of slavs with a softer, light quilted armor beneath, the horse rider split skirt... Now if the goal is simply to expose skin, a full breastplate and nothing else would make more sense than chain bikini.

>>52128643
It's a matter of humidity.

The extreme lack of in deserts, plus the sun, makes long clothes good.

Rainforests, jungles and so, it would actually make sense to forget the bikini and have a thong at most. Even the brass mix of chain and plate of austronesians was much lighter than their indian/middle-eastern counterparts.

idk

maybe it's just because I've never been to the rain forest (I'm in West Virginia, so I got woods and forests a plenty), but I always figured I'd prefer to have light but long clothes in tropical areas because dealing with bugs (such as mosquitos, or the settings' equivalent) is a pain in the ass and I wouldn't want to risk malaria or some other random disease/illness every time I stepped outside (even if it meant feeling miserable at times).

It's not a question of comfort, it's to avoid death by heatstroke. Wet clothes in high humidity are basically blankets, and you WILL pass out if you try any strenuous activity dressed like that.

Go grab a Natural Geographic and look at the various Amazon natives. Thongs, thongs, thongs. Always and without exception you'll find them wearing the bare minimum needed to keep their dongs from flopping around and nothing more.

If you want bikini mail, then your best bet is to have magical armor and or armor spells. Then the sexy looks are just cosmetic, or maybe making the fashion statement that you're rich/powerful enough to not need full coverage of physical armor.

It's like some kind of ultra tight skirt that's torn at the top, not pantyhose.

Speaking from experience here, you can still walk in ultratight dresses provided they are flexible enough and still have a degree of elasticity but there is an artform to it, it isn't comfortable unless you like the feeling of bondage and you are reduced to a snails' pace.

But then logic tends to take a back seat in fetishwear.

Wrap them and then put on some robes. Loose fitting ones if you're in a desert so you're kept warm at night and can sweat and cool off in the day. Wearing fuck-all for clothes is only reasonable in a heavily forested jungle with 80% humidity. In anything without heavy foliage however, you'll have to worry about sun burns and skin cancer.

You sound like the typical That Guy on this topic with your standards for magical realm as it pertains to necessarily pervy material in settings. Conan, Red Sonja, hell even John Carter from Mars (a very clothing optional planet). A vast majority of the historical scifi and fantasy genre, even to the modern day. For instance there were many reasons to walk out on the movie Prometheus but if you stormed towards the exit screaming, "MAGICAL REALM BULLSHIT SETTING!" then heaven help you.

Now you might counter, "But those are movies and books, I'm talking about tabletop games!" by all means please don't bother because demanding more realism in a damn game than in any of the settings that might inspire it, that's just ridiculous.

I mean seriously, do you imagine everyone jacking off under the table just because someone is making a nod to any particular setting?

My problem with the Prometheus space suits oddly enough wasn't the slinky form fitting quality but the ridiculous total glass dome that yes tended to smash each time someone tripped over.

Not a huge problem, though, since it was clearly to show off the actor inside rather than be anything close to practical.

Wear a nice cloak on top that you can cast open and use as a back-splash accent to your outfit, or cast off seductively.

The suits in Prometheus weren't magical realm. Real life next gen space suits are going to be skin tight or at least tighter, and they didn't look sexual at all.

Something that exposes large chunks of flesh however is inherently sexual. And having experience with the people who tend to roleplay characters like that, they're horrible and best thrown out by any self-respecting GM before they creep everybody else out.

>Something that exposes large chunks of flesh however is inherently sexual. And having experience with the people who tend to roleplay characters like that, they're horrible and best thrown out by any self-respecting GM before they creep everybody else out.

The only reason it's considered sexual is because it's sexualized in the media and you've been conditioned by both your parental figures and said media. If you can't control your dong and get a hard-on just from seeing some bare skin, that's a you problem.

What the hell space suit designs were you looking at that included slick rubberized surfaces, because I'm pretty sure you got punked. Sure there's some less bulky stuff being designed (there's actually multiple competing suits, including one that's been dubbed the Buzz Lightyear) but none of them look like sexy diving suits.

I was going to be upset about that undertit armor (and I am), but then I saw that the individual finger armor is completely detached and just slipped on her fingers and that makes me more upset than not being able to just see her topless. Fuck that shit; does she expect them not to immediately fly off in battle or not just fall off when she puts her hands down?

What about a setting where that impractical armor can exist but only if it's enchanted to defy physics in the way it does first?

Clearly, because those two clanking idiots botched their perception rolls. People laughing at Cohen the Barbarian because he looks like a frail old man don't live long to regret it because any adventurer who SURVIVES to a ripe old age will know every single trick to fucking you up, most of which he probably invented. Similarly if you see a glamazon coming at you and laugh at how much of her skin is exposed what you aren't realizing is that if she can dress like that and still be alive no amount of metal you wrap yourself in is going to save you.

The only logical chainmail bikini setup is mail over a gambeson where both have been destroyed in places, making the outfit revealing.

All I ever ask of a design for armor is that it is internally consistent and that, if it is tied to stats, be representative of said stats.

>>52128374
A bikini that's just a bikini is internally consistent.

>>52129115
Armor that doesn't cover everything, but seems to do its intended purpose, is internally consistent.

My favorite version is where the characters start out the adventure dressed normally in standard medieval fantasy gear, but for whatever reason end up in exoticstan, lose all their clothes and have to go native. Bikinis, leotards and swimsuits for everyone, and banana hammocks for the men.

Forced to fight in the arena is another good use of it.

>Or wearing a skintight body suit in something that isn't Cyberpunk

I'll take mechanical counterpressure for $500, Alex.

Style over substance can include sexy garb for many reasons, though not for combat conditions. But a skintight bodysuit has practical application in hard sci fi.

To me, the real problem is that even if you assume (magical or technological) Transhuman so everyone is hot enough that putting them in bikinis isn't cringy, you're ruining the sensual thrill of forbidden need and revealing hidden territory. A girl in a bikini is often sexier than that same girl just standing there naked. And the girl in the gauzy sun dress is way sexier than she is in the bikini. That's because the clothes invite your mind to undress her, and the fantasy of what she might look like naked is usually better than the reality.

So we don't put a girl in a burkha, but we also don't have her stark nekkid. We put her in clothes that flatter and invite attention to her best assets, revealing enough to get your imagination going but not so revealing that there's no mystery. So either tight clothes that cover a lot, or gauzy/lacy numbers that show a lot but in a blurry way, or something that teases you with revealing stuff (like a short skirt or cleavage), or teases you with how easily it might be removed like overalls or a sun dress. The southern wild girl look (knotted shirt and denim shorts) gives you several at once, especially implied ease of removal.
>>
My issue has always been the use of metal. It seems like it would be really uncomfortable. If you're not concerned with protection, why not just use cloth or fur? The underwire in a bra is already sometimes a pain, even more metal clinging tightly to the body would be even worse.

They're actually working on form-fitting spacesuits in reality. Lighter and easier to move in, take up less space, cools you naturally through prosity, and also keeps you in should it get torn anywhere.

The cameltoe is padding; any concave areas like the crotch or armpits need to be padded and filled, or the lack of compression from the suit means vacuum sucks them out to fill the concavity.

>human breasts are absolutely incompressible
Actually they largely are incompressible, much like water. You can *deform* them (in the physics sense, not the maiming sense) but that just displaces the contents. If breasts are big there's just too much tissue and not enough space in the breastplate to displace it into -- you have to make a custom plate to make it work. (Plus, there's a limit to how much you can press and stretch breasts without it getting impractically painful.)

I ought to know, every girlfriend I've ever had has had tits at least as big as her own head. I've seen a couple of them try to bind as well and the effect was absolutely laughable. One was bi and kinda into drag (yeah, I eventually realized she had problems, 's why I dumped her) but could never ever pull off better than "F cups straining to get out of a man's shirt three sizes too big over the rest plus and an incongruous fake moustache". Cracked me the fuck up, but she got buttmad at me for it, like it was my fault she was blatantly female.

And, if they have the technology to make something like that, then why not make a shield for that so you can block magnetizable metals and all other things that are used to kill you?
If you say, that it's just what is the norm in this setting, I refer you to another reply to my post.
>>It's internally consistent if everyone in the setting does it.
>Technically, yes. But, if they dress or armor themselves stupidly, that just makes it bad fiction.

If one wants it sexy, just make it look sexy. If one wants it to be magical, make it look magical. If one wants it to be practical, mundane protection, then make it look like it can do that. These aren't mutually exclusive, one just has to put more effort to make it work.

I have to wonder if all the people crowing about whether things are realistic are running their games with proper realism accounted for complete with daily Save Vs Death roll against dysentery, or a strict vitamin c requirement in player diet during dungeon crawls, or modern shooters where even if kevlar stops a bullet you have to roll to see if, for instance, the impact broke a rib and sent it into the player's lung.

Hell, let's take that kevlar bit and expand on it. Is it okay to just slip on a vest and consider your character good to go, or does the GM require the player fully cover themselves like a member of the bomb squad complete with helmet and full face visor before they're properly armored? I suppose it shouldn't be surprising that a mere bikini triggers people when we have people who flip their shit if character art doesn't include a helmet with faceplate.

I've got no problem with people playing realism, there's plenty of games that make a reputation on trying to be as realistic as possible. People want to play those kinds of games then good on them. But requiring every player and every game to conform to how YOU want to play and what YOU view is acceptable is the quintessential definition of That Guy, only worse because it's expanded to games you aren't even involved in directly. There's an obnoxious extremism on each side of this all-too-frequent debate. People who act like sexy armor offends their very sense of reality and justice in the world and act like every game with a bikini is automatically an ERP (or for that matter the weirdos who claim boob armor will always automatically redirect a bullet or arrow directly into the heart), and those who demand their character can be sexy or else their freedoms are being tyrannically crushed. Both types of games and everything in between are okay! If you are in a group that doesn't like how you like to play, guess what, that is a sign that that probably won't be a group you'll enjoy playing with!

Order in which you want to protect your body parts:
1) head
2) chest and belly
3) everything else

If you can only buy one piece of armour, you'll get a helmet. If you can afford a few patches of chainmail after you've got your helmet, you'd want it to cover as much of your torso as possible.

If you want to translate this into fetish armour, you'd therefore want a chainmail bikini first and foremost. Maybe make it a plate bikini with a bit of mail hanging down from it to cover some of the belly*, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_and_plate_armour

Your legs would not be a priority until you've got your torso well-armoured. Chainmail also tended to be very expensive, moreso than generic plate most of the time, so a poor character who can only afford some scrap metal would be looking to get splinted greaves to protect their legs rather than something like a mail skirt.

*mail without padding is actually worth shit but y'know
>>
>>52144722
It's kind of funny, I guess. When I started playing tabletop games it was with groups that didn't have requirements for character art. If people wanted it or just verbally describe their character that was fine. How did such blatant anarchy work? By the true magic known as the Power of Imaginationâ„¢. I may imagine my brother's cleric as a fat Friar Tuck, he may imagine his character as thin, bookish, or even ultra masculine. It's a shared story, sure, but it's also a personal story for each player with our own points of view that color events.

From a gameplay standpoint it works. It doesn't matter if your character art is the sexiest motherfucker available on google, if you fuck up your charisma roll you still fail to charm someone. A handsome character can have low charisma, an "ugly" person can have high charisma. Just as a half-orc character may be hated in human towns but be considered a prize beauty in orc communities. So if a player wants to view themselves as a super sexy animoo magical girl with a chainmail bikini in the privacy of their own heads that's fine. As long as the armor is marked as Chainmail in my DM notes I've got an armor rating for that.

I used to think that the way I played was just how it was done and the reason opinion seems to have changed was video game RPGs which offer an absolute image of the characters and everything in that world and the story. That maybe people don't value imagination the same way. But maybe I'm the one who was always weird. Damned if I know.

Dominant arm. If your dominant arm is hit, you might not be able to wield your weapon, then it's over for you. I might even venture so far as to say protecting your dominant arm comes before protecting your head, because your head is an arms length away from your wrist, which will be easy to slice off.

Repeating what I said in another thread,
>By RAW nothing prevents typically nonarmor items from having armor enchantments, there's no reason you couldn't have something like a tattoo give +5 AC and fire resistance
>I have no issue refluffing what armor is, I have no issue with a "magical" bikini acting like fullplate provided you can justify why it weighs so much, has the dex penalty, and spell failure chance

It really is a question of the setting more than anything else, does it fit the setting?
As long as it does I got no problem if your female fighter looks like Iron Tarkus or is armored in nothing more than an enchanted nipple piercing

This. This so hard.

Conan stories, Tarzan, Burroughs' Martian stories, etc, they're all perfectly valid fantasy worlds. They operate on a rule of cool. They're not SUPPOSED to be realistic medieval combat simulators, or GoT or whatever.

Case in point, my latest character uses this for her character art, because the whole world is a big magic iron age fantasy inspired by various pulp fantasy.

Technically the life fibers draw more power by being in contact with MORE skin. The kamui are 100% life fibers, the strongest clothes ever made, and would already kill most people from a brief usage. They're skimpy because any more skin contact would be too strong for anyone to survive.

If you're gonna try and take it seriously I would just wear normal clothes with good freedom of movement.

Don't get me wrong, I fucking love chain mail bikinis but most attempts to 'justify' it mechanically in-universe are pretty laughable.

I liked how self-aware the game Age of Barbarian was in that regard. It was barely a bikini even, if that, but the character "had to take it off to not drown" when showering in a water-fall.

Granted depicting them in visual media, even pulp covers, included more covering to keep society from collapsing in, I guess, a giant orgy because someone saw a nipple in public? You can find some more accurate covers with uncovered Dejah. The most common covering for her seems to be a jeweled bikini, though, so on those historical grounds claiming she was too pornographic was pretty silly.

At least the guy holding her is probably canonically naked.

Anyway this isn't a John Carter thread, per se. Still this, Tarzan, Conan, just the whole pulp genre is indelibly ingrained in the DNA of D&D and thus the lineage of tabletop games that came after. I can't swear we'd never have gotten these games without Conan but I also doubt they'd look the same.

Personally I have zero issues with Red Sonja armor or Conan-style barbarians charging in with little more than furry loincloths. I'd hardly require it but I can recognize it as part of the history and the legacy of these games. Not everyone has to feel that way, and that's fine too. There's all KINDS of games, after all. I'd hazard the majority didn't get into roleplaying just for completely 100% accurate historical recreation simulation (with dice!) and explore the far larger world of fantasy, alternate pasts, exploring strange futures, that they offer.

Honestly I don't know when nerds got so puritanical. Maybe it's an effort to avoid the stigma of sexual repressed social rejects. But fuck that, we're on goddamn 4chan. Why are we trying to project some higher sense of morality, grace, and purpose?

>>
>>52158925
The irony of imagery like >>52157993 is that it's 100% accurate to the actual stories. On Mars you maybe wear a loincloth but most people settle for leather harnesses to adorn with emblems of rank and, of course, to hold weapons. Burrough's never really spent much time in lascivious details, it was just a fact of life on Mars.

Not at all actually, the guy who drew #2 is a well known Swedish RPG-scene cartoonist and humorist. It's a "joke", you may have heard of those. Yeah, it's at the expense of whiny puritans, but what's wrong with that?

You can look up "Bernard the Barbarian" if you want to see some of his other comics.

I like it when people don't describe their character too much because in my group there will usually come a point when players start indirectly describing the PCs of other players and it makes the PCs a bit like collective creations.

>>
>>52163167
I can see that. I'll never admit this to my group but good players aren't always good writers. They can make perfectly sound and smart decisions within a quest, but backstories have run the gamut between entirely incomprehensible to typical issues that pop up in mary sue fanfiction. No, I don't care if you claim your warrior is an exiled prince, I'm not giving you a damn retinue or a castle. Look up the word exile and then get back to me.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-backstory and they don't necessarily cause problems (they have sometimes when a player is more interested in their own character than the quest and wants things to shift to explore their backstory), but neither are they an absolute necessity to playing quests. I'd rather players, especially inexperienced players, get their feet wet in the game. It's like those "What I made, what I played" threads. Very often characters wind up different from how people initially planned. That will come out (and hopefully naturally) as we play.
