>Should I start including the pastebins in the opener?

You should, yes.

Repeating myself from last thread

Are we really having Frollo worship Chernabog? Really?

I feel like that's kinda crapping on his character. IN the movie he was incredibly zealous of his faith and even as he was about ot sword Quasimodo he was quoting the bible.

I think it's a cheap way out to just say "eh, he swiched sides"

I mean, come on, the guy's a Lich. Maybe he IS a lich because of a gypsy curse, and now he employs counter-runes in all of his Inquisition's weapons?

>>36084081
You mean XII...

>>36084072
I'd imagine that the yellow and green lands constantly shift between the two as the people become more afraid of the fae or the Inquisition.

We're gonna need a pastebin for the pastebins soon.

So, someone got the list of beast type and is willing to get crackin'? I'd help, but this paper is due tomorrow at eight.

We still need some Powers for classes and
nationalities.

We need generic traits.

We need a working XP system

We need to come to agreement on equipment.

We need to come to an agreement on currencies between the lands.

Probably a good idea

Working on another piece of writing right now. A bit more narrative than I usually do. A naval battle between three Submarines and a host of sea creatures.

It's near to Atlantis, so I might have the big damn lobster I love so much show up. Maybe get into a slugging match with Giant Ursula

Fine, he's bullshitting Frollo.

That still doesn't explain why Frollo isn't already being buttstomped by literally anyone around him, unless Chernie boobs is lending him some magic.

Which would in turn make him have HELLISH, UNDERWORDLY POWERS and then he should probably conquer a lot more. Would be kinda broken.

From the previous thread:

Idea: An animated Ice Anna in Arendelle, being like Olaf in that she is bumbling and goofy, but very much aware that she isn't the real Anna but a golem playing the role of her. Black humor potential abounds:

>"How was my performance? Was I convincing?"
>"There are just so few people around these days who remember what Anna was like, and you knooooooooooooooooooooooow I can't just ask Elsa for pointers on being her sister 'cause then she'll just frump and grump and sulk and drop the temperature another few degrees."
>"Ice Queen? More like Draaaaaaaaaaaama Queen!"

>Fake Anna playing pretend with the frozon corpses of Arendelle, posing them at tables, walking about and partying. Shes also one of the few friends that Olaf has to play with.

>"I know that I'm not reeeeeeeeeeeally the Snow Queen's sister, Princess Anna of Arendelle, but I look like her."
>"And I'm kiiiiiinda made out of her."
>"So that's alllllllllllllllmost as good, and you should proooooooooobably listen to my advice before you try and go in there and confront Elsa."

>>36084223

I'm just saying, I liked the original idea where Frollo was still trying to follow his old beliefs even without any God answering.

"If there is nothing to this Earth except for what we make, then let us make good."

Except his "good" is incredibly Evil, but he still thinks he is pious and right even as he becomes only moving bones

>>36084163
It should be up.

Holy shit, is Bald Mountain on the move or something? They've gotten bigger with every edition of the map. At this rate, in 8 maps they'll have all of Asia.

>>36084273

It was shifted slightly to the east, to eat up some of the ginormous Hun Holdings that seemed a bit excessive a thread or two ago.

>>36084326

Yeah: better give more lands to the GOD OF ALL EVIL than leave them to the forgettable hun.

>>36084360

How's this for a better Europe?

I still don't see why Olympus has territory in Southern Italy. Italy should be completely Frollo. Same deal with Iberia. The fae don't belong there. Central and Northern France are ostensibly under Frollo's control but the fae move freely about and the borders are constantly shifting.

Pushed Chernobog north-east (since he expanded that way) and gave Zeus more Byzantine territory. Also expanded Queen Grimhilde east.

>>36084409

Davy Jones and Hook are trying to take over.

>>36084409
It's ruled by Davy Jones and has different goals but an uneasy alliance with Hook. For instance, Jones doesn't care about Wendy but Hook isn't as interested in Beckett.

>Jafar's mexican son?

>>36084585

>>36084568
Try to avoid giving bonuses to attributes if possible. Could change Biceps to Spare to be a bonus to both Endurance and Athletics, or something.

>>36084512

>Lucky Strike
- Cowboys and Cowgirls riding in Alameda Slim's crew are some of the luckiest varmints in tarnation, and will sometimes just stumble into caches of arms, coin and resources.

>Yodel-ay-hee-hoo!
- If you know Slim, you're going to be familiar with yodeling, and may even have an impressive set of pipes yourself. Cowboys and Cowgirls who know how to yodel can do so to dislodge obstacles and bring them crashing down on their enemies' heads.

>>36084568

Problem is, they are not really Traits: you're just putting more points in Attributes and Skills.

Traits should give something more in exchange for specialization: +2 to Melee rolls when using a Sword, +3 to Persuasion rolls when showing off your muscles to shallow people., stuff like that.

>Jafar: Jafar has appointed Iago as lord of public announcements, and has most of the Aladin tv show villains as goveners and petty princes.

Rourke: most of the original members of the expedition now serve as Ministers in the Alantean empire, such as minister of health and minister of excavations

>Yzma: Kronk gets suped on potions and becomes Yzma's taskmaster. Still a cool dude.

>Elsa: not really minions, but more of by products. Olaf, Marshmallow and other variety of snow Golems are definitely confirmed to roam the wastes. Ice Anna is also rather well liked, so I'll add her in.

>Facillier: Shadow friends still lurk the cities abd bayou. Suggestions of madame medusa being one of his minions is a good idea in my opinion

>>36084645
>>At least, the half that came back alive

And not half the total number of soldiers who came back alive. The half of each individual soldier that came back alive... ish...

>>36084629

Huh. Okay, I'll see if I can come up with something better

>>36084731

The official title is "Minister of Geographical Keeping" but that still doesn't sound much better

All he does is dig, anyway

>>36084671
>minister of excavations

Would these excavations happen to involve... explosives?

Anyway, every good villain has a handful of minions -- we should give some examples, but leave one or two slots open for a GM to insert their own. I'll come up with a few in a bit.

How the fuck does pastebin work? Do I just share the URL of a paste that I made and then everyone who cares enough to help can come and just paste shit in it? I am the guy who said I could spearhead work on the statting of the Beasts.

He doesn't just dig. he translates too; really its the best thing for him. Poor boy still hasn't gotten over the Princess, you know. At least he's happy enough when he's got his nose to that book of his translating some more ruins.

>>36084750
>Minister of Mole Holes

>>36084753
>>36084777
>>36084778
That's pretty great. Three different anons, three different ideas on who the Minister of Excavations is. I think >>36084750 was probably suggesting Mole, myself.

>>36084770
Throw up the paste, and people will take a look. People can make a new version of the paste or they can make their own afterwards and share the link to that one. if you have a pastebin account it'll let us see all of the previous versions of the paste as well.

I try to avoid it though, because that's drawing more attention than needed and I'm drawing enough already.

Well, they apparently engaged in a smug-off and became bros via that.

>>36084521

Oh god the fucking flashbacks

>>36084852
The way I imagined it, the rest of the Atlantis crew had their misgivings about taking the Heart but didn't say anything, so without somebody to raise his Spirits Milo sort of just let it happen.

Rourke and crew went to the surface, realized shit had gone absolutely insane while they were sailing the seas/under the seas/in Atlantis and it was at that point that he formed his Imperial president idea.

In my head at least Milo's still around and translating ancient Atlantean, probably helped teach writing to the locals even, but he never really got over what happened to Kida and he alternates between being depressed about it and trying to work up the nerve to confront Rourke.

>We still need some Powers for classes and
nationalities.
>We need generic traits.

Well, there's the new traits and powers I came up with for the Knights of the Round Table two threads ago, so throw these into the pastebin:

Powers:
- What Does Your Heart Tell You?: Can spend a heart point to remove strikes from illusions, persuasion and deceit on others. (Sensible)
- Lend me Your Ears: May treat armies as ‘the party’ for the purpose of music and speeches if he spends a heart point. (Charismatic)
- I Am Not Left-Handed!: He may opt to take a penalty to his melee and prevent harm for the first 3 rounds of combat. Whatever penalty he decided to take, he gains it as a bonus for the rest of the combat scene. (Nimble)
- Eureka!: May spend a heart point to immediately learn an important piece of information. (Smart)
- It’s Just A Flesh Wound!: Can spend a heart point to remove two strikes. (Strong)

Traits:
- Tin Ear: Immune to all aspects of music.
- No Luck For The Tough: Is constantly besot by slapstick misfortune, but has a +5 to Endurance. Because of the increased Endurance, the slapstick cannot harm him, though it will inconvenience him in other ways.
- Master of Nine Men Morris: Gains +4 bonus to any strategy game, and a +2 bonus to any actual battle strategies.
- Superior Speed: +2 to attack and defend against anyone with an Agility lower than yours in physical combat.
- Evasive: +3 to defenses against area attacks, such as raining arrows.
- Etiquette: Gains a +3 to social situations among the nobility.
- Refined: +3 to Academics related to art and culture.
- But It Is Not This Day!: Can make speeches to render the party immune to fear.

You could probably substitute any local strategy game for Nine Men Morris, and the rest are nation-neutral.

>>36084901
Scar is with Zira but maybe he holds a candle for the handsome tiger in the next kingdom over?

He wouldn't be the only implicitly gay villain (cough rattigan cough)

>>36084943

Now these are very good Traits and Powers!

>>36084852

I think that Milo should probably survive, along with the other members of the original Atlantis Expedition. Given the state of this villainous world at the time of the expedition, and the fact that Rourke wasn't crystal-crazy, and that he kept Kidagakrystal in Atlantis, I think that it's feasible that Milo stuck around to keep an eye on things.

>>36084852
I think it would be a better idea if Rourke roped Milo into helping the expedition.

>"Look milo. Your not getting her back. And thats not my choice or yours. We either use her to save whats left or we save her and doom everything. All these people, all our people. This more than about money milo. This is about survival. Now I'll tell you what choice you do have. You can either let kida die in vain...or, you can save not just yourself, but her people as well."

>>36084943
Damn, those are all pretty good. You are the awesome Anon who did the knights, aren't you?

>>36085006
>>36085018

I still think that Kida ought to be conscious as the Heart of Atlantis and be working, in subtle but real ways, to improve the lives of her people and the state of the world.

>>36085096

Oh, she is, it's just that nobody's really aware of that

>>36084446
I'll fix up France and Spain to be like this, maybe make northern Spain a bit more contested between frollo and maleficient
As to the changes to Hades' realm. I'm going to keep Southern Italy in Olympia, because it historically was pretty Greek, and was part of the Byzantine empire. As for turkey, the greeks tended to stick around the coastline and it was more asiatic in the interior, which is why the division is the way it is

>>36085116
Oh, and also for chimbobug's territory, The greeks never really had much of a presence north of the danube, so the northern border is gonna stay as it is.

>>36085064
Yep. Methinks that a good strategy for coming up with Powers is going to be asking ourselves: "What's a really cool thing to spend a heart/will/whatever point on?"

>>36084546
Hades has Ilium, it's on the north west coast of turkey

>>36085116
The Byzantine Empire existed long after Ancient Greece which is where Hades as a deity originates. Their Empire extended into Persia far more than it did Italy.

Personally, I think Italy should be completely under the Pope's control and that Hellenic Greece should push far more east than it currently does.

The timeline is very fuzzy, I'll grant you. But citing the Byzantine Empire isn't really relevant to the Greek Gods.

I did the thing something like 8 threads ago, now it's time to help again.
>>36084149
>XP system
I'd say we keep the three tiers that were suggested before: Zero, On-a-roll and Hero.

In order to gain XP, three conditions must be met:
-The character has followed all his Ideals (do we still have those?).
-The character must have experienced a defeat of some sort: it doesn't need to be a life-threatening one, but it should be something that sets back his plans at the very least.
-The character must have overcome whatever defeated him before.

This xp points can be spent on on improving a character's skills and attributes and whatnot: how much does it cost we'll decide later.

So what do you think?

>>36084271
This a best.

As for why he isn't stomped flat, its because he's a good buffer nation and no one wants to infringe on him as they'd take it as threatening against themselves.

Nimble Guy Power:

One Jump Ahead: Can spend one Heart point to dodge for sure the next four hits if there is more than one foe targetting you

Smart Guy Power:

Elementary, My Dear: Can spend one Heart Point in order to solve a problem, mystery, puzzle or find secondary and secret passages


I was also thinking about a Strong Guy power that was essentially to spend a heart point to attack three times, but these all sound....Boring.

Expand New Groove and Up? That's better than randomly putting a germanic fairy there just because.

A thought on the Wild West; the reason it hasn't been swallowed by the Shadowlands or Tzekel-Kan is more than just the fact that literally everyone has at least two revolvers or Alameda Slim and his gang. The land itself is inimical to organized authority; armies sent there disintegrate due to desertion, and debts gradually vanish from Shadowlanders' skin (except, of course, for the one holding their soul).

Alright people, so. TRAITS AND POWERS.

Where do we begin with this? My crunch-fu is weak.

>>36086255
Hey, we implemented some stuff from the Chronicles of Prydain into the Horned King. We could do something similar with El Dorado. Just a suggestion.

>>36086235
The rich lands of the Amazon are, surprisingly, one of the freest places in the world. Nominally ruled by The Sunless Empire, there are few rules enforced outside of a hefty tax and toll system. Travelling through the region is expensive but as long as you can pay, you are free to carry on with your day to day life. In theory, those taxes are supposed to pay for protection should another ruler set their sites on these fertile lands. Whether or not Yzma would honour this is yet to be tested but it certainly won't be long before an enterprising character pushes their luck and encroaches on the Amazon. Already, rumours have emerged of the Elite Global Huntsman Club moving further inland from their satellite states along the shores of South America. To the North, Captain Hook's pirates look to expand their continental foothold and to the South, Ursula dominates the shoreline and seeks to consolidate her power. The natives continue to pay their taxes, desperately hoping that they won't become the epicentre of the latest conflict to plague the known world.

>>36086220
El Dorado couldn't possibly be Columbian. If it was, then they'd have found it by now, since that's where they looked.
But they didn't find it, therefore it's in Mexico

I've finished my first bit of narrative writefaggotry instead of the dialogue I usually do. I'm not entirely sure with how it turned out, but it's good enough to post.

Its supposed to be the first time that Ursula came close enough to Atlantis to learn about its resident Guard-fish, for some timeline context

>>36086235
we've made an exception for El Dorado(and possibly some other appropriate non-Disney films)

Paper's done. Let's get this almost-a-train rolling.

>>36084943
Into the pastebin they go. May need a bit of tweaking but that isn't my field. Mine is wholesale crunchpocalypse.

>>36084620
Certainly useful powers. Into the pot they go.

>>36085314
We're still on the tier system, yes. Following ALL your ideals may be hard, as they're now generic things like "Help X group of people out!" but its a start. Skill points should cost less than traits which should cost less than +1 to an attribute which costs less than another power.
The ideal result is to avoid slaughtervagranting in a disney setting by forcing them to care about NPCs, even if it is only because >muh character advancement


>>36086332
If your crunch is weak, come up with some fluff powers and I'll number crunch them.

Failing that, what animals do we need to have statted out for people to play? Should we just ignore Huge animals like T-rexes for now, and tiny ones like insects and birds?

Do we have an idea of what we're going to do with equipment?

>>36086045
>>36086057
The Refuge of the Fairest is exactly that: a gigantic, nation-wide refugee camp. Humans, talking animals, minor spirits that couldn't or refused to survive the Spirit Lands and fairies of various kinds are stashed in tents and huts, in hidden mangroves and secluded caves.

The fairest are tragically lacking in manpower. Maybe 5% of the refugees aiming to reach this last bastion of purity actually manage to get there, and those who do must manage to scrap out a living without offending their fairy patronesses.
Most fairies are not comfortable with the idea of abundant deforestation or hunt, so the mortals of this land are forced to survive as hunter-gatherers, because the fairies' power is the only thing keeping them safe from the Yzma's wrath.

>>36086369
El Dorado wasn't originally a place, it was a king of the Muisca people. Over time, the name came to refer to his kingdom instead. He was said to cover himself in gold dust and chuck himself into Guatavita Lake whilst his attendants threw in trinkets. They've found a fair bit of stuff in that lake, and there have been several attempts, by the Spanish and various other colonial empires to drain it, each of which turned up fair amounts of treasure.

>>36086356
I really like how every villain is at every other villain's throat constantly. It makes for a world that is utterly hostile to heroes like the PCs, and yet no one is willing to focus their full attention onto them since they're too busy with bigger problems.

I believe the key to winning a campaign with the least resistance is to skillfully play one against the other, exploiting their well-known personality flaws and vices in order to bring them down.

>>36086356
I used a lighter colour to mark the regions that Yzma controls but doesn't really care about. Everybody else got to grab a bit more land to put them in a better position to consider pushing their luck. Yzma would probably stamp on Hook or the Hunter's but may let Ursula take a few liberties rather than risk a war with the very Oceans themselves.

>>36084163
What happened to Madam Mim?
Ratigan?

>anime

>>36086495
Madam Mim is a subordinate of the Horned King who's fucking around in his lands.

Ratigan rules an under-empire of rats. He doesn't show up on the map.

>>36086447
I get the fluff but it just strikes me as really pointless in this setting. It's such an obvious 'we ran out of stuff' stopgap. If it's as disparate as you say, then why wouldn't an enterprising villain just march in and take it? It's huge, fertile and ripe for the taking.

I'd rather there was no safe haven in the world. Everywhere is hostile in its own way.

I like this idea
>>36086356
Because it means that even though the area is relatively safe compared to other nations, you're going to have to pay a shit tonne of money to get around or risk drawing attention to yourself. Yzma may not care about encroaching enemies but she'll be damned if anyone's going to dodge the tolls.

>>36086356
What's the Blue Fairy's angle in all this? She is there, right? What's her plan, what is she doing, who else is there?

>>36086640
If she's still around, she should be a prisoner of Malificent, not running around free as you like.

Perhaps there are refugees in South America but they're driven to poverty by Yzma's taxation systems and are in no position to rally against any of the villains.

>>36086546

Well, just because the faeries are refugees it doesn't mean you want to get on their bad side.

Maleficent is a Fairy, the Blue Fairy has a lot of power, etc. And hey, a single Pixie can make a whole ship fly, if we go by Tinkerbell

The faeries can hold their territory enough that it's not worth it for most people to dedicate enough power to take it over

>>36086683
Maleficent is almost certainly the most powerful fairy in the world.

>>36086663
If that's the case, we need to correct the map to reflect that. And this also means that Yzma has theoretical control of almost all of South America, which is sort of nuts.

>>36086403

Really good, I like it! It presents both Ursula and The Atlanteans as serious rivals with their own strengths and differences, and is pretty well written besides! Well done!

>>36086703

Well, Yzma is sort of nuts herself, but I see what you mean. I also feel sort of nuts in thinking that the PCs might find her more amenible to becoming allies.

>>36086432
I am working on a pastebin for the statting of the different-sized beasts. we are operating on a 1d6 system, correct?

>>36086703
Yeah but she's also one of the more insular villains. She's an egomaniac who spends her time and money establishing vast monuments to honour her and developing her native infrastructure. She's actually one of the most benign rulers left.

Oh sure, if needs be, she can muster a zealous army that have been turned into various animal forms* but for the most part she's content to sit in her temple and admire the jewels and gold she has acquired.

Besides, everything east of her established empire is only technically hers. If push came to shove, it's likely that they could be incited to rebel. They're already chafing under her taxes and it's only fear of other more malicious rulers that keeps the people docile. It's an unstable empire that could collapse at any moment.

And if that's not enough excuses, hand over more land to Ursula/the Hunters.

*Yzma's potions are gonna be a great way to let human players enjoy Beast mechanics for an adventure in the Pridelands or India. They should be very rare items but potentially obtainable if the GM requires it.

>>36086791
3d6.
Average stat for a human is 7, maximum is 12, minimum 4. Minimum for a hero is 6.

>>36086811
Thanks. I will work out bonuses and penalties hopefully accordingly, just note, I am normally not a crunch guy.

Everytime I see that map, I can't help but wonder what an EUIV mod would look like...

>>36086778
Meta-knowledge will be incredibly hard to avoid in a setting like this since fucking everyone has seen the most popular Disney movies.

Remember, the majority of these villains lie just as easily as they tell the truth, and given the power they hold, you better believe they as the victors will write history as they see fit. Nearly everyone living on this world would have been exposed to this propaganda, even in the midst of the oppression taking place everywhere.

What Papal Name does Frollo go by? I'm thinking he'd be ballsy enough to take the name Peter making him Pope Pierre II.

Or to give him his full title:
His Holiness Pierre II, Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the Vatican City State, Servant of the servants of God.

PONTIFEX IMMORTALIS FROLLO HAS ONLY ONE TITLE, INFIDEL

>>36086778
>>36086800

Like I said back in the fourth thread, I really like this personification of Yzma. Her rule is very much the rule of a cartoon supervillain rather than a real Noble Dark Villain like most of the rest in this setting, and the PC's dealings with her are bound to be comic: she's sneaky and funny and wacky and you can reason with her and try to trick her, but she's a trickster that you can't trust for anything. Playing along with her schemes in the short term can have long term benefits and potentially gain her as an ally, but it all depends on how much of the old crone you can stand.

Also, I like the idea of Yzma as a consummate mad scientist who has lived for centuries and who's subjects, by now, are crazy chimeric hybrids, statuesque golems and failed experiments.

>>36086960
PONTIFEX IMMORTALIS! IN NOMINE DEI!

Hmm, Yzma's real ambition was to snuff out the sun. Obviously, she rules the Sunless Empire but what does that mean? Magically induced Night Time across her lands? Because that would provide a neat explanation as to why she doesn't expand.

>Dat monty python reference

>>36087350
what did you change this time?

>>36087335

Now that really is interesting! It adds a great deal to boost her power levels and ambition, and also shows just how loony the old bat really is. This scheme just screams cartoon supevillain.

I can imagine that by this point, her subjects, both human and chimera are so jaded and used to her insanity that none of her schemes, plans, plots or pet projects have any power to shock or surprise them any more.

>>36087350
I think Maleficent should have more land. Bitch is pretty powerful yet she looks like a bunch of pimples on Frollo's face.

>>36087562
>Every time Yzma comes up with a new plan, a collective sigh can be heard over South America.

>>36087585

What if we unify their kingdoms? Let's just say they rule together as Pope and Queen of Evil.

>>36087585
Maleficent doesn't so much have land as she does have people she terrifies. Her territory overlaps almost entirely with Frollo's and even Grimhilde's, but 'rulership' pretty much relies on whether the people fear the Inquisition or the fey more

>>36087585
That patchwork effect is supposed to represent the shifting alliances of the French and Spanish. Ostensibly they are part of Frollo's Catholic realm. However, Catholics don't get on with the Fae and the Fae are running rampant across the region. Any given individual is likely to claim to worship the Fae one second and the Pope the next. It all depends on who asks them and who's around when they're asked.

Hence the realm is very ambiguously defined. Malificent rules much of it but isn't interested in fighting Frollo for it. Frollo claims to rule all of it but isn't willing to acknowledge Malificent's presence in his realm (there are Muslims to crusade against after all).

>>36087535
Oh, I just switched the color name of Yzma's tributaries, nothing important

>>36087657
Do the Fey care about being worshipped? I thought they just did whatever they felt like without regard to what the people living there thought. And occasionally hunted them for sport.

>>36087335

>All those Secret Lab clips

Yzma has undermined her entire empire with a Incan fantasy Aperture Science.

>>36087335

Holy fuck, I forgot how funny she was! We should give this woman more land!

>>36087738
No, they don't care at all. But they dislike the Catholics because the Catholics dislike them. People could claim to be pretty much anything as long as it ain't Catholic, they just tend to say Malificent rather than, say, Jafar.

>>36087820
Of course, there's always the chance they'll turn your eyeballs to molten iron for sycophancy.

she has 75% of a continent, most of which she doesn't really control. I think she's good.

>>36087855

>Fey
>Making iron

Someone failed his Occult roll here.

>>36087738
It's less about being worshipped, and more about the tribute and sacrifices. The fae like having stuff, like someone's firstborn child, their voice, their joy. They take it from them, or else they'll punish the "selfish" mortal in various nasty supernatural ways. Or they'll punish them for fun. Who knows?

I thought we still needed traits and powers?

>>36087820
>>36087855
I'd imagine that people would worship Maleficent anyway whether or not she cares or treats her worshippers any better out of sheer desperation and ignorance.

>>36087855

If i wanted to make a Crusader character who questions the validity of the Catholic Church under Frollo, would that be appropriate to this kind of setting? I know it's way darker, but come on. It's still Disney.

I'd feel more comfortable making a plucky and dashing 16-year-old who is trying to achieve his dreams along with his comedy relief sidekick.

>>36086922
Anastasia and Prince of Egypt are brought up all the time. 4chan being 4chan it's impossible to tell how people really feel about them being included, ie whether they keep being brought up by the same guy a million times and shot down by the majority, or brought up by a variety of different anons and simply shut down by the same guy.

Eldorado creates a pretty glaring impurity in the setting, as (for that matter) do the various live action properties introduced.

IMO, the "core" setting should be limited to Europe, the Mid East, Asia as far west as India, and North Africa. Anything in the New World should be considered supplemental.

>>36088055
Yes! Perfect fit! I think we've had that sample character a few times.

>>36088103
Kaa needs eye contact. Unless he Jumps slim he'll lose, as Alameda only needs to be within earshot

>>36088066

You monster: you would take away Izmopolis from us!

I think 'Grimbright' is the best description for this setting, if you want to use those terms.

Things are very very bad right now...but there's hope, and the heroes can win...maybe.

>>36088103
Kaa's powers only work on small boys. He's the /tv/ of our villains.

>>36088137
No, he also hypnotised Bagheera.

>>36088124
Pity he isn't like a proper snake and deaf.

>>36088133
It's more nobledark than grimbright.

The world is bad and grim at the moment, but the heroes are here and in the end with enough persistence they will win.

>>36088124
I also think that's how Slim and his gang are keeping the Golden Empire back.

Their yodeling skills can hypnotize the giant constructs. It doesn't work back in the Golden Lands, as the blood magic is more powerful, but on the plains, that melody is what holds sway.

>>36088103
These days Kaa has whole chunks of the jungles under his hypnotic control, right? Provided the fight's taking place there, Kaa's already won. Otherwise it depends on just how quickly he can add a new area to his control

I like them fine, but they don't fit in the setting. Why not use Zorro to fill in Mexico if you want to use Disney live action properties? At least that way you'd remove one inconsistency and keep the whole core in-company.

>>36088435
I like it. It makes the point a lot better than the speckling.

>>36087981
Is it me, or are those three blond mooks really interested in Alamada's ass?

>>36088435

Much better.

>>36088306
That was my idea. You get points for completing tasks, fulfilling ideals, etc. I don't like the name 'points' but I can't think of anything better...maybe Hope?

Say you want to improve your Science, so you can use Atlantean Tech better. It's at rank 2. When your Hope reaches 20, you can make it Rank 3. With 30 Hope you can make it rank 4, and so on.

Completing a goal, or 'Embodying' your ideal, could get you a Wish. A wish can boost one of your Attributes by 1. You can use Hope, but it's 100 Points X Current Level, to move it up.

You can also use Wishes to change the tide. (Re-rolls, have calvary arrive, miraculous escapes, etc. Same deal as Fate Points or Edge or Karma)

Sound good?

>>36088372
Thirded.

WFRR includes so many animated characters that to accept it as canon in our verse means they all exist as well. I mean, fucking Bugs Bunny is running around our world now.

>>36088435
I think there should fewer, thicker, and greener stripes. Right now it comes out more of a yellow-green, there needs to be more contrast. A darker green, perhaps?

>>36088486
They're is nephews.

>>36088486

Holy shit, I was literally just thinking the same thing! They keep getting back to his ass!

>>36088435
Much better. Maybe give the Fey some dedicated lands towards the north where Frollo's influence isn't felt.

>>36088468
Isn't it a Disney trope that in order to succeed, you have to go through hard times first?

Of course, if the majority feels that it doesn't work in the contest of a RPG, we should drop it.

>>36088372
Sadly, I think I'm also voting to drop WFRR as a Territory.

Judge Doom can be a hanging judge in one of the towns of the Old West though. Of course, MOST judges in the Old West are Hanging Judges.

>>36088515

Do you think that makes it better?

>>36088479
>pirates of the Caribbean
>not fitting in the setting

Look, I know this is a /tg/ creation project, but perhaps you should look up the fucking basics of this universe before you decide to go cutting out factions.

>>36088547
You're referring to the Hero's Journey. That really can only happen once.

>>36088515
Is that supposed to make it better? Because it really doesn't.

>>36088547

The setting is dark enough to make the heroes fail again and again, so we don't really need to reward the players for failing. The opposite, actually: we should reward them when they manage to play it smart and get a victory out of this cruel, cruel world.

Example powers and traits.
We need roughly ~30 example traits, and we need 3 powers for each starting nationality and class.

Anyone want to take a crack at some of them?

>>36088670

. . . do you think his ass is part of the Hero's Journey?

>>36088611
This. Even just stopping something villainous without making a significant gain the the war for good would reward XP.

Okay, so let me see if I can churn out some traits. My crunch-fu is pretty pathetic but I would still like to try and contribute

>One Jump Ahead
+2 to Athletics rolls when fleeing from authority or more than three pursuers

>Trusssssssssst Me
+2 bonus on diplomatic rolls if there target actively distrusts the speaker

>All Will Be Well Milo Tatch
+2 when trying to calm down or convince a frightened character

>You Call THAT Fighting?
+3 to combat rolls is the foes are using the same type of weapon or combat style

What do ya'll think? It's not much, but I am just not too good at this. Never played tabletop before for the lack of a group.

>>36088683
lurker here, are the players supposed to be heroes/fallen heroes, or villains? or anything?

>>36088706
You mean it's not?

>>36088714
New, up and coming heros.

>>36088714
I imagine the could be either really.

>>36088499
So, let's say that Mahrikatoka, our Atlantean engineer has just finished that fight with the Shadowland Raiders.

She'll get 5 hope for surviving. And 1 hope for every Debtor she took out, which is 3. She'll also get 5 hope for having the clever idea of using the floodlights in the mining camp as weapons. That puts her at 13 hope.

She uses 10 hope to turn her Ranged from 1 to 2, so she's a better shot.

However, during the fight, she climbed up one of the broken floodlight towers and fixed it mid-battle. This fulfilled her ideal of 'Fix Things' in the best way, so the GM gives Mahrikatoka a Wish.

She decides not to spend it on her attributes, but keep it. Just in case she ends up in a shadowy place again, and needs to discover that she 'forgot' that she had her flashlight in her coveralls the entire time.

>>36088711

Here, these are very good Traits: a nice bonus in specific situations.

Honestly, we should measure every future Trait based on these.

>>36088714
Playable villains should probably be an expansion. They'd have all manner of unique mechanics to represent their new found power.

>>36088711
>one jump
I like it. Well balanced.
>trust me
Might as well change the bonus to +2 to Negotiate and Deceive, but that's pretty much what it says. being specific is key.
>all will be well
Increase the bonus to +3. we've got a lot of ways to deal with fear in this game.
>You call that fighting?
Drop the bonus to +2, or it'll be an instant-pick.

It's generally assumed that the players are new heroes who find themselves in a world where they've already lost.
It's going to take a lot of effort and maybe even some sacrifice to win some significant victories against this enormous tide of evil.

And when they do... they better watch out because if they manage to attract too much attention to themselves, the villains might just postpone their political conflicts just to take you out.

On a related note: is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Disney, or Bluth?

I like em. A bit specific but still good.
How many traits would a character get? (sorry if noob question)

>>36088683
Have we established which nations characters can come from, or is everything bar Bald Mountain free game?

>>36088755

We have the basic idea down, but this is getting too much detailed: I think we should stick with

You get one Lesson (let's call them Lessons) every time you fulfill one of your Ideals in a meaningful way, take a meaningful step towards one of your Goals or just get out of a dangerous situation.

>>36088785
Disney...I would say that the Headless Horseman is a specter that hunts during the dark nights in Virginia.

It doesn't have any goals, or such. Dealing with him/it could be a good adventure hook.

>>36088820
Even bald mountain is available, but the people from there are rarely heroic material as much as husks of people or Kriegers.

>>36088820
The PCs should ideally come from around the same place, or at least have some way to justify how they're all in the same place. Global travel must be a bitch with all this power-grabby conflict going on.

>>36088805
I doubt his power extends over elemental spirits of hatred and destruction.

>>36086922
Rasputin is the guy who runs Russia for Chernobog, just like the bad guy from Quest For Camelot is one of The Horned King's lieutenants(and has Excaliber fused with himself thus explaining where that sword went), and the bad guy from Swan Princess is a former student of Mad Madam Mim and keeps his small territory for himself by using both his informal relationship with Mim and him technically being a vassal of Grimhilde to his advantage

>>36088347
that's fine, as long as we leave a decent amount of room for them(Luckily except for Tzelkan who's going to be a core component, most of the other 3rd party villains are either relatively minor, or can inhabit places outside Earth proper)

>>36088785
if you're talking about the old cartoon one, that's Disney

>>36088843
yeah he'd be a good starting adventure(heck Virginia makes a good starting region)

>>36088805
Yeah, see, this is why I'm with the party that doesn't want the Firebird to have a set territory. It should be a random, uncontrollable, destructive force. It comes, wipes things out, and moves on.

Now if Slim, Grimhilde, Malificent, or whomever wanted to try and control that living nightmare? Well, that sounds like an adventure hook to me.

>>36088843
>>36088873

A dullahan WOULD make a good adventure hook...
You know they're also from Fey legends. Perhaps Maleficent summoned him to keep tabs on Ratcliffe while she's in Europe.

I would say you could play someone from bald moutain. They will tend to be very cynical and bleak and have nightmares offering them power to bettray their comrades. But you could go for it.

>>36088851
They are probably demon worshipers, ignorant peasants keeped in fear and such. But in the end the Black God is way too subtle in his work to just jump around and kill everyone who doesn't like him. Someone heroic doomed to failure would probably amuse him enough to let him live for some time.

>>36088873
Non-Disney stuff should be kept to the absolute minimum in the core setting. El Dorado fills in a hole in Central America and Princess Mononoke adds some character to Japan. Everything else should be Disney outside of supplementary material.

That said, your ideas are cool. I totally forgot about Ruber but he's a great villain whose mechanical soldiers would serve as elite units in the Horned King's armies.

>>36088815
Three to start. More as you level up.

>>36088911
A group of individuals hiding out in a small, unimportant, town in Virginia. The town suddenly starts to get raided by the Horesman. The heroes rise up and face down the spirit.

They save the town, but unfortunately, by doing so, they're now Noticed. Thus bigger adventures begin.

Sounds good.

>>36088887
OH! Ohohoh! The ring of fire is the Firebird's usual range/path, with occasional forrays into other areas.

>>36088967
>Undead Weapon Amalgamations that basically can't be killed without Dyrnwyn.
Hold me Nobody, I'm scared.

>>36088887
The way I imagine the firebird is that it essentially acts as the left hand of the spirit realm. If anyone in its territory starts to fuck around a bit too much, starts cutting down too many trees or killing too many animals the firebird comes spewing from the ground. It can pop up anywhere at any time in the spirit realm.
The Charred Lands are the Firebird's roost, though. Unlike the rest of the spirit realm, which is a tranquil and untouched wilderness, the Charred lands are scarred with ash and solidified magma. Mt. Saint Helens is the Firebird's perch, and if you want to find it for whatever reason, it'll be there

>>36088973
Cue a trip to Europe to find out why the fuck they're being watched by a huge murder of crows all the time.

I fucking love it.

>>36088823
Okay, so do you like my idea of matching the number of Lessons to the current skill to level it up?

Also, once you reach a total number of lessons (10, 20, 30?) you can pick a new trait?

Archive archive archive!

>>36089018
Please no skill leveling via practice. That just promotes poor gameplay behavior.

Lessons should be able to be spent in the following ways:

Level skills, Level traits at a cost higher than skills, level attributes at a higher cost than traits, get powers at a higher cost than attributes.

>>36088435
Could you do the same thing with the Subjugate of Kaa and The Free Creatures? I think they would be pretty contested between themselves and their animal neighbors.

>>36088973

Could Notice be a mechanic? Like, how much you can fuck with a villain before you're not longer beneath their consideration?

Managing your Notice status correctly could be the key to foiling them from right under their nose, otherwise they'll just send their A-game to crush you.
This would encourage players to actually act like a rebel group.

>>36089048

I've been doing it the past few times but I really can't keep my eyes open any longer. Could someone please take care of it this time? My deepest apologies.

>>36089018

It's an old question: should PCs be able to spend XPs as they want, or should they slowly increase in what they are using?

We should decide now: do you get Lessons and can spend them to get what you want, or do you get Lessons which automatically go towards raising what you sued to get them?

>>36088711

>Record Scratcher
When a character starts a musical number, gain an attack of opportunity (Is that a thing?) on that character

>Brothers in Arms
+1 bonus to combat rolls for every character in the party that uses the same type of weapon or comes from the same homeland

>Hakuna Matata!
+2 to resist on any sort of mental distress

>I'll figure it out.
+2 bonus when trying to use or operate any device that the player has not come in contact with before

>Meowr!
-1 to Intimidate.
>ROAR!!
+4 to Intimidate. Must be taken after "Meowr!"

I'm not sure if that is stupid or not, I was thinking back on Simba trying to roar and stuff.

>Don't You Disrespect Me, Little Man!
+3 to Intimidate if the character has been offended

>>36089018
So, going back to Mahrikatoka.

She'll get 1 lesson for surviving the fight. 1 lesson for getting the floodlight idea. (GMs can give bonus lessons for smart ideas.) And 1 lesson for fixing the floodlight.

She has three lessons.

She spends one lesson to turn her ranged from 1 to 2.

Her total number of lessons at this point is, let's say, 7. Three more lessons, and she'll be able to get a new trait.

Sound okay?

>>36088683
Better Put Some Water On That Burn: by spending three (?) points of Heart, you can insult someone so terribly that they are guaranteed to do something stupid, depending on the situation (Charismatic)

Shoulders of Atlas: By spending an Heart point, the character can double his Robustness for the purposes of pushing, heaving, supporting or otherwise applying non-violent force on a single unanimated object. Requires both hands to be free. (Strong)
Tactical Genius: If the character spends two (?) points of Heart, he is istantly aware of how to best take advantage of every single feature of a particular battle; what this means varies from situation to situation, but it should always be at least a +2 bonus to all combat-related activities for the whole group, because of optimal use of covers, good covering fire etc. (Smart)
No Such Thing As Bad Terrain: By spending a a point of Heart, the character can ignore any and all limitations caused by the terrain he's walking on: he jumps from rock to rock in a river, seems to never slip into mud in a swamp etc.

Stare Into The Soul: By spending one point of Heart, the character can istantly know everything there is to know regarding a single creature's personality, intentions, attitude and personal philosophy. For the rest of the scene, he can automatically tell if that creature is lying.

>>36089005
For that? I would want about this much dynamite.

Too bad we don't have any Nitroglycerin, eh Milo?
