I'd say keep a handy note of what are the motivations of the various NPC, so that when the PC inevitably offers B team a teamup to beat up the King you'll know how to react. Players never follow the plan.

Pththya-lyi posted:Update on my Monsterhearts game: We wrapped up the current plot line this past weekend, and it went great. The Vampire's player ended up sticking with the character for one more game, and gave her some great character moments. Meanwhile, the Witch desperately tried to find a way to stop the big bad without destroying the town, and the Infernal's player actually suggested the solution they ended up going with: sever the Infernal's connection to the entity. The player admitted that he was getting tired of playing the Infernal and wanted to switch to a different one, so we decided that was a fitting end for the character's arc. Long story short, the Witch and the Vampire used their abilities to get the Infernal into an electroshock machine and zap the evil out of him. The game encourages you to end the "season" arc when a PC unlocks a certain number of advances and take a break before starting a new season. Technically the PCs aren't advanced enough mechanically, but we agreed this was a natural "season finale" and that we should end things where they stand now. When the second season starts, two players will completely change characters, while the third will have his character change classes ("skins," in Monsterhearts terms). Also, while the players are happy with my GMing, I want to have the chance to play as a PC, so we may rotate GM responsibility from session to session. BTW, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to use McClucksky. The school was closed due to PC-caused problems anyway so it would have been hard to work him in. I do hope to use him in the future, perhaps in the second season. I plan to use him like "O'Malley the Anti-Drug Dog," a sample NPC from the excellent Monsters and Other Childish Things. He's also an anti-drug animal mascot, but he goes much farther than appearing at assemblies: O'Malley the Anti-Drug Dog character description posted:“Hey, kids! Don’t do drugs!” O’Malley is a guy in a suit who comes to your school and talks about drugs, vis-à-vis that they are bad. But once he arrives, he seems to hang around for a long time. Like, weeks.

That's actually where I got the idea, though I would have left out the spookiness for Mclucksky. I find the idea of supernatural entities at the (proverbial) mercy of mundane bullshit hilarious.

After a seven hour combat marathon, and possibly in a fit of hubris, my group agreed that sure, let's make our next 4E session centered around diplomacy, clever plans and avoiding combat. But all I know how to prepare is combat and dungeons. The setup: The party has just defeated the evil necromancer that was responsible for the rise of the undead. Now all there is left to do is help their revolutionary buddies overthrow the evil regime backed by the thuggish militia. And quickly, too, because once word spreads that the undead are gone, the militiamen stationed at the kingdom's outskirts will return and then it's gonna be a crackdown. Required elements - these are all my players' ideas, so I want to have as much as possible of this in there. - Have a parade. News of the necromancer's defeat will spread either way, might as well make themselves known as the heroes who did it and enjoy the celebrity status, and make the regime react rather than act. - Remove the militia commander from his position. Either by assassination or through politics. - Free their friend, a wealthy supporter of the revolution, from prison. - Dry out the militia's cash flow. A lot of them are mercenaries. They don't get paid, they don't fight. But also: bonus required elements! Because we're making this our halloween session on top of everything else. - Fancy dress party. Mostly because it seems like the sort of situation that can carry a session all on its own. - Secretly the king is enthralled by a vampire. This ties in with a few other subplots we have going on. It's actually the vampire who really hates the revolutionaries. So I'm thinking, start with the parade. It turns into a huge spontaneous party gathering in a public square. Oh no, the militia is getting ready to squash the "revolutionary riot" - better convince them to back off or beat them down. Have a nobleman approach the newly minted heroes and invite them to his fancy dress party in a few days. Now there's plenty of time for them to remove the commander, free their friend and steal the militia pay. Things come to a head on the eve of the party, and I'm not sure about this part but I'm thinking there's something they need to figure out (before midnight, when everyone unmasks) and at the end the vampire is somehow revealed. Maybe the vampire is preparing to enthrall all the nobles in one go to ensure a private army for herself?

Maybe that just turns the target into a thrall. Spiking the wine at the party for one big toast could be fun. If they find out in time they can try to find some reason to convince the nobles to leave or not to drink. Maybe they can replace the wine or find some way to break the enchantment. If not you can have them face off against a court full of noble thralls. That sounds like a blast. Especially if they have to incapacitate them without killing anyone.

Like, they've taking down this necromancer. His apprentice has surrendered, but committed horrible atrocities under his guidance. What is more important to them, justice or mercy? They're overthrowing an evil regime. What is it being replaced with? Who are they leaving in charge? What's wrong with them?

I have an idea for an adventure arc that I'm having a difficult time nailing down into characters and locations. Any of you guys wanna pitch something at me? Aboleths and Dwarves I have this idea that there exists some abandoned dwarf fortress somewhere which fell to ... something—which may or may not be relevant to the current adventure—some time ago. If we want it to be an actual dorf fort, then it was probably demons because adamantine. Whatever. This fortress once represented the height of dwarven civilization, but now is overrun by something. Again, probably demons because adamantine. For whatever reason, it fell and it's now an adventure site. In fact, let's just go full  : it's overrun by demons because adamantine.In addition to the rich repository of adamantine and other riches, the remains of which would easily fill out the party's wealth by level requirement for whatever level they are, the object of going there is to uncover the lore of magical metalwork and/or superior smithing. So the point becomes not only just fighting through the dungeon, but also piecing together from what remains of the literature and tools how the old-dwarfs did [whatever]. Part of the goal here is to come up with what this [whatever] is and why [someone] wants the party to go get it. Probably because [someone] is an evil vampire lich dragon demon who wants to destroy, enslave, and/or rule the world. Whatever. In the course of investigation, the party will encounter either a survivor or an external researcher. I haven't decided which yet, or if it matters. Anyhow, this'll be some kind of wizard most likely, or other person with lots of knowledge about the fortress and how it fell. And in some way or another, this will be a link to aboleths and how they were secretly responsible for the fall of the fortress, or maybe the guy they encounter is a thrall of the aboleths whom are themselves interested in some secret buried in the ruins. There's my vague story idea so far, friends. Help me flesh it out? Names and stats are a no-brainer that I can come up with myself. I'm mostly looking for relationships between people and places and things, and a way to connect them cohesively. Lore ideas also a plus.

I'm mostly looking for relationships between people and places and things, and a way to connect them cohesively. Lore ideas also a plus. The lord of the faeries (the horrible eldritch beings who gently caress with the mortal races and steal children for kicks kind) wants the secret of proper (dwarven) steelmaking so that they can keep it out of the hands of mortals because it's an even bigger weakness for them than cold iron (working with the metaphor of it representing mankind's taming of the wild places that previously held great danger to them during the industrial revolution.) He appears to the adventurers in the guise of an up and coming captain of industry looking for an edge over his rivals. The surviving researcher could be a member of a party he sent in prior to this one, who provides hints that their mutual employer may not be all he appears to be. In this scenario, the Aboleths would have raided the fortress seeking the secrets of Dwarven metallurgy for their own purposes, possibly in preparation for some kind of campaign they're plotting against the fay. If the party manages to uncover this, they have to decide which side they hate more, or try to get out of the fortress while fighting off Aboleths, faeries and whatever dwarven defenses are still intact.

Adamantine isn't rare. It's actually fairly easy to get hold of the mixture of ores that you need to smelt it (it's an alloy, not a pure element). One of the necessary ingredients, however, is a soul. The metal you get isn't particularly stronger or harder or sharper than steel. But it is sentient. The inhabitants of the fortress initially restricted its use to preserving their greatest heroes, so that they could serve their people even after death. Even this wasn't done lightly -- the dwarves recognised that eternal life was a big deal -- but it became more and more common, until pretty much every weapon and armour possessed by the fortress was crafted of adamantine. Things got complicated when the preserved dead began to demand a say in the leadership of the fortress, were refused, and rebelled. Swords refused to swing, axes refused to cut. In the end, the dwarves learned how to bind the adamantine artefacts to their will, making slaves of their ancestors. With dwarves now being unwilling to volunteer their souls for the smelting process after death, the smiths started turning to other sources for the souls they needed. Eventually, desperate for resources, they cut a deal with the aboleths to trade the secret of adamantine for souls taken by Hell. Before the deal could be completed, though, a faction within the fortress discovered what was planned, and sabotaged the fortress's key structural supports rather than allow their people to sell the secret of adamantine to demons. The ensuing riots and chaos, as well as the vengeance wreaked by angry aboleths who thought they'd been betrayed, more or less wiped out the fortress's inhabitants.

I've also been quietly jotting down ideas for a dwarf fortress dungeon that ought become relevant in 4 or 5 more adventures based on how my players seem to keep pushing the dwarves and elves towards war. This is an amazing idea and I might steel a chuck of this to flesh out the place.

Completely unrelated, a potential player pitched to me the idea of two character concepts: one is to become an arcane archer, the other a dark delver (Pathfinder with Paizo splat books allowed). He did not expand on what if any game-breaking mechanics he wants to abuse, but I am usually suspect (I used to play and DM in d&d 3e) whenever someone identifies their character progression plans by a prestige class. Looking at the class features, I don't see too much of issue. Is there something I'm missing? Throw at me the most absurd abuse of rules that can be accomplished with them.

My Lovely Horse posted:It's the next thing on my agenda as well Dang, now I need to try this too... If one has a dwarf player, it could be interesting to start them off on a strange mood when they enter the fort. Perhaps a will save balanced to fail ~1/4 of the time would cause the character to break off any off-task action and continue searching for shells. If they complete it, then that item could be used for a puzzle or a later monster would be weak to it.

I'm not seeing anything innately unreasonable about either class (using this for Dark Delver and this for Arcane Archer.) What base classes do they want to do? In my experience most really overpowered bullshit doesn't come from a specific class, but from interpreting class ability interactions in the most appealing way. That said, it's entirely possible they just like the flavor of the classes and don't plan on doing anything stupid with them, too.

Zereth posted:Do you still need to plan your build from level 1 if you want to actually get into a prestige class in Pathfinder? Unless you have a very liberal GM who will let you rearrange things on the fly during the level up process, yeah; prestige classes require a number of ranks in a specific skill, specific feat(s), base attack bonus, and/or specific spellcasting ability. Accidentally stumbling into an Arcane Archer for example is pretty unlikely: either you're a Sorcerer/Wizard who took a bunch of combat feats for no reason, or you're a Bard who decided to focus on archery instead of social stuff. You could easily have been a Fighter or Ranger who focused on archery as well, but then you'd have had to make the conscious decision to pick up a level in an arcane casting class. Only a Magus could really have pursued the feat requirements without thinking of it ahead of time.

A Bard is more likely than a Magus to accidentally qualify for Arcane Archer because a Bard is more likely to focus on archery. Spell Combat and Spellstrike, the Magus's two defining features, only work with melee weapons.

It would be good GMing and in keeping with the intent of the mechanic if you were to waive some / all of the mechanical requirements for entering a prestige class if there's enough of a plot-driven reason for the player to enter into it, but there's still an element of having talking with the player and identifying where they want to go with their character in the first place because you wouldn't want to stick a character with a prestige class that they don't intend to go into.

Ladies and ladyboys! It's been a while since I ran something. Due to a flaky DM it looks like I'm being shoved back into that role, and am sort of thinking of taking my players out of their high fantasy comfort zone. I'm thinking WoD Vampire. Having never actually run a vampire game, I throw myself at your mercy for advice and ideas. I've very little exposure to actually playing WoD, but am sufficiently familiar with the fluff. Currently I'm thinking of setting the chronicle semi-locally in Australia during the late 80s~early 90s, which gives me the ever-helpful crutch of looking at historical events and twisting them for story...

They're descended from gods and/or ancient heroes and Fate brought these psychically-talented individuals together.

Spend one adventure in a hallucinatory wonderland, tripping balls. Fight Dire Cheshire Cats. Once they come down, they occasionally get hit with flashbacks - but since the magic in these magic mushrooms is actual magic, their flashbacks are actually flashsideways, giving the PC a clairvoyant peek in on Other Stuff Happening At This Instant Right Now.

As long as you tell only the player and do it privately. I've done this both for when 1-2 PCs had visions, and for when the whole party is asleep. The best part is, some of them can be actual visions, and some can be regular dreams. Let the PCs figure it out! Or not and get a sense of dread as the cyclopean eye from their dream greets them in 3 sessions! It's also great to give 1-2 characters really forbidding dreams, while another one has mundane or even cheerful ones, and then try to figure out whether or not that character is lying, and why.

One of the best RP sessions I ever encountered as a player was in a Dark Conspiracy game a friend of mine ran in college. Given that it was Dark Conspiracy, everything was bizarro and we were all paranoid. But as the session progressed, our "routine" handling of the paranormal poo poo we'd been sent to mop up got progressively more and more strange, and my teammates (the other PCs) got more and more hinky. By the end of the session I was pretty sure at least two of the other PCs were actively trying to get me killed, culminating in one of them basically revealing himself to be a demon. That was when the GM said, "And that's the point at which you wake up in a cold sweat" - at which point I was dumbstruck. Yup, the whole session was all my character's freaky nightmare, and every other player in the game had been in on it from the get-go. And it had all sorts of prophetic foreshadowing in it as well, which made it doubly cool. "It was all just a dream" is a pretty loving tired fictional trope for when an author has written him or herself into an untenable corner, but to have it used so intentionally and brilliantly in an RPG was pretty

The Mainkin are really happy, and if you leave the major cities, the racism isn't really found. It seems like something people do for political reasons then anything else. Basically, I want to give them little views of them kissing their kids, or being nice to people, or being a dick depending on how far into "man gently caress that guy" my group gets. Like I just want to be able to remind my dudes "hey this guy is still probably a good person and a provider, and loved by many or he wouldn't be a leader."
