Wasn't there a name generator for artifacts that someone was using to make neat Dungeon World stuff along those lines earlier in the thread?

That was it, thank you! Some of the results are a little clunky but I feel like if you're going for oddball magic items, you could get some really neat ideas out of it.

I got a bear trap that makes the "user" invisible when it's activated. I'm thinking if that were coupled with a silence, it'd be the best drat tool a hero in need of abducting someone could have.

My first result was the Helium Banana of Inquisitiveness. Saying the results are oddball is putting it mildly.

Slayer's Lingerie of Joy This spiked, lacy lingerie causes all non-hostile creatures near the user to feel happy and carefree when worn. Additionally, it can be wielded as a spiked club. Creatures affected are easily distracted and often more agreeable than normal. This is really excellent.

Rotten Cookies posted:E: While I'm posting, has anyone ever made up or come across a list of weird, random, marginally useful loot? My players really don't like finding gems or plain old gold. They have the most fun when they find something like a giant bird call, or a staff that summons like 3 spectral sheep that serve only to get in the way, really (Any Pixel Dungeon fans?). Stuff that's sort of off-the-wall. I didn't ever find a use for it but I guess given enough time you could give your enemies hypertension. And if you encounter the Fleash-Eating Acid Slug, you got this.

Any tips for getting players to talk more in character? I've tried interesting NPC's but the group is really new to gaming and they seem quite, well, shy.

Why force them? If they prefer summarising what they're saying to roleplaying it all out, then let them do it.

Just when I start to think I'm running out of ideas, I think of the next module. My party consists of a Lawful Good Paladin and cleric. They're going to get a letter asking for their help in quelling a rebellion from another Paladin. Gradually, after a few fights, I want them to realize that they're on the wrong side and the Paladin is part of a brutal theocracy that is oppressing and controlling this town. It seems like a game where they'd have a lot of potential options, either openly joining the rebellion, or covertly working for them. If it takes them a while to notice that they're working for the villains, I want to build up some subtle clues. Stuff like there being no taverns, no alcohol in the city at all, a strict curfew, people disappearing. The games so far have had a strong investigative flavor to them, so I'm looking for some ideas on how to build up tension, drop clues, etc. These aren't the kinds of players who need combat every fifteen minutes to stay interested, but I'd love to give them moral quandries.

Don't forget to prepare for the contingency where the players decide they wanna see what happens if they ride the Brutal Theocracy train all the way to the last stop. Some groups like to play consequences chicken with the GM to see how insane a situation they can end up in. In fairness, this usually turns out to be pretty interesting.

That would be pretty fun, admittedly. I just try to come up with a concept that has a beginning and end. How we get there is fleshed out by the players.

From my last few sessions: A ruined portal that powerful demons came through a long time ago. "We should probably try to reactivate it and see what happens." An altar to a long forgotten god of torture? "I leave an offering." Dirty foul-smelling water in the bottom of a hundred foot pit. "I was just getting thirsty!"

Robin Laws calls these people Instigators in the 4E DMG, it's a useful taxonomy.

Most of the people in the town are very polite to everyone - not in a friendly way, but in a cringing, nervous way. People tend to end disputes by reporting their rivals to the secret police, so most go out of their way to avoid offending their neighbors. The exceptions are people favored by the secret police.

Maybe the townsfolk could have some brainwashy responses to stuff. Like asking why there are no taverns (going off what someone else suggested) the townspeople might all say something very similar, like "Oh, no, we don't do that. Beer isn't pure, and purity is best."

I really want to try running a short game set in the WH40k universe but absolutely hate complicated rulesets and character generation. Does anyone have any tips for a game system that can be easily applied? Dungeon World is always wonderful but I'm also lazy and don't wanna go round amending all the character sheets to remove all reference to elves.

There's a 40k hack for *World games. Might even be more than one. Check out this Google doc. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nPfff5dSHsk__rFHGQfLaAmb3ns680s_Fc0CSNlhfFA/edit?pli=1#heading=h.c96xbwiq6wwh
