[QUOTE=Rats808;50966391]Alternatively, have the city be made of a bunch of mechs(magical or technological), and when you try to steal something from a house, the house wakes up and tells you to cut that shit out. If you don't, it chases you down and steals something from inside [I]you[/I]. [sp]Probably your heart.[/sp][/QUOTE] [video=youtube;yICU1pQ8fkM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yICU1pQ8fkM[/video] I feel like this discussion about animated houses made this video inevitable. [editline]28th August 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=gufu;50966362]You better have high Dexterity, or this attempt at Shadow of Colossus will go to hell fast. In fact, why not have an Evil Wizard™ hold a city hostage, and show his true power by turning various buildings across the city into building golems, fucking shit up. Maybe you couldn't even outright destroy some of them - maybe it's a nursery full of nuns, kittens, or orphans (or orphaned catgirl nuns), so breaking it is not a choice - you need to get inside and stop the HEART OF DARKNESS™ controlling the building![/QUOTE] The premise of the campaign I'd worked on was that the bbeg was a wizard who'd almost attained godhood before being banished to the void. His acolytes would be the primary antagonists of the game attempting to find various ways of returning him to the mortal plane. Some used cults but one acolyte decided to pull a Ghostbusters and make the bell tower a central channeling point for their master to return through. So the bell tower is basically a golem because it has a fragment of this guys essence passing into it, which is an unintentional effect entirely. I like the idea of having to actually enter the tower. Like it's some kind of mobile stronghold the players would first have to breach and then clear out.

Not to stir the shitstorm up, but I just wanted to say that the most fun systems are ones with little to no magic, forces players to think outside of "what spell can I use to fix this."

Either via social opposition or by having it take a more passive role. Although I've been called racist against wizards on more than one occasion so take that however you will. :v:

Maybe wizards can theoretically solve a lot of problems, but in almost every game there's a bunch of reasons built in for why they actually practically can't. The amount of spells they can cast is almost always limited, and generally they either only know a small amount of spells or they have to prepare every spell they want to cast ahead of time.

[QUOTE=Destroyox;50968152]How can you be racist against an occupation?[/QUOTE] I bet you think Elf is a profession, too. Fucking racist.

[QUOTE=Destroyox;50968152]How can you be racist against an occupation?[/QUOTE] You're born a wizard, don't you know?

[QUOTE=UzumakaiPatch;50968254]You're born a wizard, don't you know?[/QUOTE] I thought that was sorcerers.

In terms of in-story content the most recent session was an unmitigated disaster, but from gameplay and roleplay it was pretty good. One of our players GF entered the session and she's very new. Very new. It's sometimes hard for her to get a word in because the table can often devolve into people just talking over one another so I made a point of warning her prior to the session that I'd run some questions by her about her character. She's playing a Bard who came from an Elven city that forbade the practice of music. She seemed to really enjoy the opportunity to have some spotlight on her which was nice so I'm thinking of going out of my way to try and include her in some more small moments down the line.

[QUOTE=Broguts;50968472]I thought that was sorcerers.[/QUOTE] What, you think all wizards are just nerds who read magical books all day? Typical muggles, so racist.

[QUOTE=Destroyox;50968152]How can you be racist against an occupation?[/QUOTE] Because I made three settings that ended the occupation. :smug:

Snip

I absolutely adore when a party comes together interaction wise. Our traveller team has a long way to go to be a cohesive unit, but already I can see blossoming relationships that get me all giddy

Today in Shadowrun Rearadmiral - Does she have some kind of ninja identification mark? Additionally, we FUCKED SHIT UP raiding this Vory compound. Despite my plan going a bit off the rails thanks to backup goonsquad + ninja, we fucking ruined them. The only damage to our team was a rotodrone getting bricked. Net is OP as shit.

D&D party's trying to get into a place to talk with a dude but the bodyguard won't let them. wizard to me: hey, those kids playing tag that we saw earlier. can i still see them? me: yeah, they're like further away at this point but you can still see them playing tag by the end of the block. wizard: alright, so hear me up. i'm gonna cast suggestion on the guard. me: aight, what do you want to suggest? wizard: the guard to pass his guard duty to the kid playing tag. party fucking loses it.

"Interesting rp idea to lower your AC while traveling." "Yeah, I mean now that we're getting deeper into the south and approaching the desert I figured it'd be wise considering how hot it's getting. The DM might make me take a point of exhaustion, so it's worth going back to chain mail to avoid that even if this is my 'home' ingame." "Smart I guess." "Which reminds me, you're probably sweltering in that full plate, full helm, cloak gettup you've got." "Actually because of growing up in a dwarven city that was mostly a massive forge I'm well suited to the heat-" "I still think you'd get hot. We're all pretty hot right now." "Especially since it would sit at around 135 degrees on average." "... I think we're all pretty hot right now." Friend to me OOG, explaining that his dwarven home is apparently hell on earth.

but is that fahrenheit or celsius

[QUOTE=elowin;50983642]but is that fahrenheit or celsius[/QUOTE] I think the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth is 136 degrees Fahrenheit/58 degrees Celsius, so either way it's pretty darn hot.

[QUOTE=ElTacoLad;50983671]I think the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth is 136 degrees Fahrenheit/58 degrees Celsius, so either way it's pretty darn hot.[/QUOTE] It's the subtle difference between "Oh god help me I'm dying of the heat" and "AHHH MY BLOOD IS LITERALLY BOILING"

[QUOTE=elowin;50983642]but is that fahrenheit or celsius[/QUOTE] He never specified since I'm 110% he just pulled the first number that came to his head. I assumed Fahrenheit since Death Valley is about 136 f, while 135 c is terrifying.
