Legit tip: use RPGmaker for mapmaking. There are premade and fanmade tilesets of every possible terrain you would possibly want.

Tibalt posted:At least Victorian naturalists were basing on their own observations. For a long time European anthropologists would base their work on the travel diaries of administrators and colonialists. Darwin was a Victorian naturalist and he did a pretty good job. The study of biology advanced a lot during that time, even with the obvious constraints (the error regarding hyenas is an honest one, studying at night in an era before night-vision equipment would have them wielding lanterns and spooking every animal away from observation range)

Boba Pearl posted:So I'm running a game for the forums, and I had a cool idea. If you are PLAYING in my game, don't click unless you want to see FORBIDDEN SECRETS. If you do click message me so I can set up a cool thing. Considering the otyugh aura, the werewolf counter and the giant's mark, the melee people are definitely in trouble. The stacking psy vuln and aoe restrain from the Fey are dangerous as well. It's a dangerous encounter for sure but who knows, my party managed to best encounters of similar strength in other games here e: Also the lack of defenders makes me think it's probably going to be a DPS race to see who murks the other side first.

I don't think it's a problem to ask people to have familiarity with a setting when running a game based on it. For starters it's likely to attract people who have it more than not, and having to explain basic concepts will distract from GMing.

mistaya posted:Are there any decent sites/discords/etc out there for finding PBP games? Really jonesing to play in something but as much as I love SomethingAwful the new game scene here is dead and I'm already GM'ing two games so I'm not interested in running a third. It doesn't seem too hard to find groups for live-gaming online but for PBP/Async play I've been having no luck tracking anything down. rpol.net? that site is still trucking right? EthanSteele posted:It came up as an answer to the age old question of "how do you not ruin the economy by making infinite gold in Ars Magica?" Acquaintance of mine: If you make too much gold in Ars you end up known as the scholar who is full of gold and is guarded by just a few dozen grogs so bandits and robber knights (if not the local feudal lord!!!) will just swarm your covenant.

Ettin posted:To be fair, this is a lot of the indie dev community Honestly the anglosphere tabletop industry is not that bad to work since other than a few translations on kickstarter you don't have to compete with other countries so much. A true globalization would have some starving third world designers I have in my circle write a sourcebook every month in exchange of just the living expanses that in the first world would be for a pet chihuahua or a guinea pig.

My Lovely Horse posted:In my new D&D game my prospective Skaven player adjusted his concept towards being more party-friendly but still a rat person, mechanically simply a reflavoured halfling, and we said what the heck, halflings in our world are just ratfolk now, makes it all a little more unique. Then we hashed out the details and I got a sinking feeling as I realized we were making a race of literal rat people who were facing prejudice for their association with disease and pestilence, and who were, in a society modelled after medieval Europe, also traditionally that society's merchants and traders. Gloss over what, doing actual good writing and worldbuilding? Wouldn't abandon those, they all make for good hooks.

AttackTheMoon posted:Does anyone have any suggestions for running a play by post game? I tried one once over discord and it was a disaster, it felt unorganized and people would either not respond and I wouldn't know when to just skip them or respond in weird orders. I'm not sure if using a more traditional platform like a forum would be better. Play by post unfortunately has a dismayingly low success rate, in dozens I've been in, only one survived more than a few months and is approaching the end, and even then it had a whole year hiatus. Unfortunately there's not much advice to be given in that front.

Asterite34 posted:I am sorta curious how your average medieval parochial peasant village would react if, say, an actual elf or dog-faced man or one of those headless guys with their face on their torso walked into town. Those were all things that people may have heard of and acknowledged that yeah, those probably exist and are merely weird and not fundamentally evil, that's just what people in far off Cathay or whatever look like. Mind you they were obviously never actually confronted with one in-person, they were just stories about some exotic thing that lived so far away it might as well be a Star Trek alien One of my favorite books, Baudolino, had a small party of Crusaders visit a city in the Kingdom of Prester John inhabited by dog faced people, pygmies, blemnyes and all sort of medieval bestiary freaks and after the initial shock they were nore unsettled by the fact they followed all sorta of pre Chalcedonian heresies (and the races themselves bickered just because of those) than by their actual appearances.

CitizenKeen posted:Is there a campaign pitch for a tactical game any of you wish existed? I'm cobbling together a tactical system that I think has some potential, but for the first time in my life, I'm completely blanking on cool settings. I've been fleshing it out with bog standard fantasy, but that's boring. Should be a good setting for lots of grid combat, and have room for some fantastical abilities. Feudal Japan/Dynastic China fantasy. Kudos if you go full Wuxia.
