Summary: Rough but idealistic hunter, was taught as a child how important it is to know about what is going on around you, and how to be self-dependable. Very pragmatic, tends to be annoyed at those that let their dreams mess up their actions, but has a soft spot for the more expressive and honest. Reminds him of his mother and sister back home, you see. His father got done in by a Wild Hunt in a unlucky expedition, and so he made a vow to always be prepared for those that would come at him with magic.

>>36174088
>>36174122
Sorry, my bad. I just copy pasted the OP

>>36174266
The rules you're using for your skills are outdated. Now the first point, and only the first point, you put into a skill gives you three ranks. Looks good otherwise.

Glad to see that the new thread has been put up! Thank you for posting! Hopefully with the weekend here now I'll be able to get some more writing done and be of better use to the project instead of just posting bits and pieces from my phone at work.

>>36174313

This is the exact problem that I'd had too.

Reporting for context's sake.

>>36173701
>Also, would he have still been some kind of day monster without his head, or just died for real?
Tl;dr, when the light hits the Nightwalker's form it's corporeal form "dies" as such, but it's general power remains, which is why everything re-grows after it's body evaporates. If it died without the head, the opposite would have likely happened. Everything would have died, nothing would have escaped. More of a natural disaster than anything.

>That night was running on movie time.
I get that, but I have to ask, will the outcome truly be interesting? This would kill basically the entire cast of Mononoke and result in little left of Mononoke to actually work with, besides the Emperor's faction and Ashitaka's tribe, neither of which are particularly fleshed out or explored in the actual movie.

>>36174362
85% of the heroes in this universe are dead and another 5% are UN-dead.

>>36174385
And if what he was talking about was what he was writing about is true, then 100% of the heroes are dead, 100% of the villains are dead, 100% of the mooks are dead, and the only people left alive are people who aren't relevant to the story at all,

Okay, so. Do Beasts take ALL of their racial Traits and thus only get one generic Trait, or do they pick two from their racial Traits?

>>36174385

One of them may or may not be a Beast roaming the French countryside.

And another is a Llama.

>>36174056
Okay, about to start a game set in China. I'll report back in a hour or so

>>36174313

Hm....I'll go re-read the 1d4chan page. I thought the ranks and the bonuses were different things. A rank 1 skill gives +3, rank 2 +4, rank 3 +5, and rank 4 +6, right?

I'm going to go look at the 1d4chan page again but what exactly did I do wrong there? How should it look?

>>36174138
I MADE A PROMISE AND I INTEND TO KEEP IT.
If you can't tell, I like the Last Five Years quite a bit.
Sung to the tune of “Goodbye until Tomorrow” – The Last Five Years, 2002 version. Modified.
POP
Don’t tell me goodbye again
I’ll let you go clean and quiet
You want the last word
You want me to laugh
But leave it for now

All you can say
All you can feel
Is wrapped up inside this submarine
Leave it at that
I’ll watch you get onboard and go…

And goodbye until tomorrow
Goodbye until the next time you come back
And I’ll be waiting
Goodbye until tomorrow
Goodbye until you’ve taken the whole world
And I’ll be waiting
I’ll be waiting here for you.

MARY

I stand on a precipice
I struggle to keep my balance
But I’m opening myself
And I’m opening one stitch at a time!

Finally yes!
Finally now!
Finally I’m being taken away
Finally free!
Finally I can cut my strings
And open my wings!

So goodbye until tomorrow!
Goodbye until the next time I come back!
And I’ll be going
I will be going!
Goodbye until tomorrow-
Goodbye until the rest of my life
Because I’m done waiting
And even though I do love you, I’m finished
Waiting for you
Waiting for you

Threw this together relatively quickly using one of my favorite showtunes. I don't like the ending much because it makes her seem harsher than I intended, but it works, I suppose. Might revise it a bit. Is it okay?

Guess I'm working on stuff for other people if they want it.

>>36174313
>>36174266
One other thing I noticed: all the character's goals seem pretty high-tier, either by virtue of difficulty and/or by how much time they take. By the time you get to On A Roll, the rest of the party will be well into Heroic.

>>36174438
You take as many or as few racial traits as you want. Of course, if you're not taking any racial traits, why bother playing a beast race at all?

>>36174546
I just wanted to know so I didn't break anything.

>>36174518

True....Shit. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention as to how the character creation process developed, after all. Messing up skills and goals by now is pretty bad.

What if instead

Zero: Find out about and obtain/craft five weapons to fight mystical beings

On-a-roll: Obtain five treasures from different regions of the world

Hero: Personally halt a Wild Hunt

I just went out and found myself the lyric-less karaoke version of the song to play along while I sounded everything out, and it looks real good! It's got that balance of hopefulness and worry that's perfect for a smart-alec kid setting out on her own for the first time. If you do decide to revise it a bit I'll be looking forward to seeing what you come up with, but you might just inspire me to try my hand at song writing here too.

>>36174606
Much more reasonable, especially considering that multiple different nations produce weapons specifically for fighting mythical beings. From Hunnic cold Iron to Frollo's Holy Fire, you shouldn't too far away from somebody who has what you want no matter where you are in the world.

Okay, I might write another story in a bit here.
Any topic suggestions?

Link goes to the fluff I wrote on Japan. Doesn't really focus on Mononoke as much as I would have liked, but them's the breaks. Just some groundwork laid for others to add to.

>>36174691
A regular night in a gambling facility located in [your choice here].

>>36174438
Beasts are supposed to take all their racial traits (getting only one generic trait) but I suppose there's nothing stopping you from trading them out for regular traits.

>>36174691

You could try something for Yzma, or maybe for a new recruit in the Spiritual War meeting Mulan for the first time, there's Belle as a Beast and Alameda Slim's old west or the Hunters could use some love as well.

>>36174673

Sweet, thanks.

I wish I could come up with all that crazy stuff the other anons seem to be able to pull off like book tigers and greek pugilists, all my characters end up being kinda stereotypey. Not bad but not particularly interesting

>>36174724
I think the point of sticking the forest spirits in Japan was to deter weeaboo influence in this project.

>>36174724
Not a bad start for Japan, For the EITC, aside from expanding the number of safe ports they have to land at (Always a concern for age of sail ships) and the fact that Japan may give them an in on Hunnic markets, I'd say look into what resources the islands had historically. EITC loves them some pillaging the natural world.

Pirates I can't think of anything either. They'd probably just do what is that the pirates do and set up lawless town that they can make port and sell their ill gotten booty at. You could write something involving them being close to Ursula, maybe? They tend to be on her shit list as they laugh at her laws just like everyone else's.

>>36174958
I could pretty easily write something here, but I don't know enough about the character to supply a good, reasonable setting. Can you give me a general idea of what you'd want the song to be about/set?

Going to have to call it a night friends. Have a good night and keep up the good work.

>>36175034
Long story short, he's based either in the west or in Virginia. In both cases Red Men and White Men fight both amongst themselves and each other. Being half and half, Bruce views cares little for race and views all men as his brothers. His goal is to make all this pointless fighting stop, and to encourage everyone to see their fellow man as he does, not caring for their color. He knows he'll have to be sneaky, hide out in the wilderness and even though he wants to do this as diplomatically as possible, probably put some holes in some skulls, but then, what's a little more blood if it stems the entire tide?

There should be something that I can take with this. That's quite specific without involving a direct scenario, so it might be pretty tough to find something that really fits the character. There definitely should be something out there, though.

Noice, I found a piece. I'm gonna finish writing this one and then go to sleep, but feel free to ask for stuff, I'll be up in about seven hours but my morning run and then dealing with real-life stuff means I won't be on here until 12:00 EST.

Sung to the tune of “The Night that Goldman Spoke at Union Square” – Ragtime, 1998 version
FINELY-DRESSED COWBOY
I have just arrived from Kansas City up north where,
Eight weeks ago, the Indians attacked their town. They are
Starving, their children are dying but they are holding firm
And we must strike back.
BRUCE
It was the summer in the West
As the sun scorched desert earth
And the workmen’s hall had not a seat to spare
When a young man stepped inside
Just to judge the people’s worth
The night the Baron spoke at the Sixth street square.
FINELY-DRESSED COWBOY
What is happening in Kansas is happening everywhere.
Let us make this the land a land that is ours, not a land
where we fear for our lives against the savages. The land of opportunity
For you, sir, and your little girl. We cannot rest!
BRUCE
He was speaking loud and fast
Through a haze of noise and heat
And the smell of sweat and anger in the air
The police were standing with
Helping the crowd up to it’s feet
The night the Baron spoke at the Sixth street square.
FINELY- DRESSED COWBOY
You!
BRUCE
He thought he heard him say,
FINELY-DRESSED COWBOY
What brings you here today?
COWBOY
Poor young burnt boy!
FINELY-DRSSED YOUNG COWBOY
People scalped and killed, my friend
Families slaughtered and what for?
Burned villages, women raped!
Leave your small backyard my friend
There are indeed causes to die for!
COWBOYS
Fight!
BRUCE
In the gutters of the city
I have tried to find some menaing
COWBOYS
Fight!
BRUCE
In the arms of broken men
And the thought of black revenge
COWBOYS
Fight!
BRUCE
Like a firework unexploded
Wanting life but never
Knowing how
I don’t know
What meaning even means
COWBOYS
Fight!
We’ll show you how!

FINALE NEXT POST

BRUCE
Til now!
I see that you are indeed
No brother of my own!
He was calling out a name
Shouting what, he did not know
And he found that he was standing on a chair
With a heart as clean and new
As the barren landscape’s glow
The night that the Baron spoke…
FINELY-DRESSED COWBOY
I’ve been waiting for you.
BRUCE
At the sixth street square.

I like it! A good mixture of serious and silly... Sillious. It matches the tone well; especially considering how damn goofy that party is.

>>36175727
Holy shit, I love it. Not only because it fits and captures the mood, but also because it reminded me of Ragtime. I loved that show.

Okay, time to formulate some ideas for the Hades piece. Might be an hour or so before I finish.

I came back to re-read this again because I wasn't all that tired, and god DAMN that is solid writing. You are great at capturing the essence of the group dynamics and the individual members. I'm really looking forward to more writefaggotry.

Sing to the tune of “Is anybody there” – 1776, 1969 version
SVERD
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
Does anybody see what I see?
They want me to quit; They say
Sverd, give up the fight
Still to everyone I say
I still, I see it, goodness!
For I have seen the light of men
Had the arms of brothers lift me
Come what may, come what may

I swear!

The jaded say we’ll rue the day
There’ll be nothing but failure in our moving steps
Through all the gloom, through all the gloom
I see the burning light in every heart!

Is anybody there?! Does anybody care?!
Does ANYBODY see what I see?!

I see hope! I see the victory of
Honesty and goodness
I hear the bells ringing righteously
I hear the cannons soften
I see humanity – all humans here
Standing defiantly forevermore!

How quiet, how quiet the evils of the world
How silent, how silent the virtue I know is there

Is anybody there? Does anybody care?
Does anybody see what I see?

Well, good news


Good news is, the system works so far. we made a lot of progress in a little amount of time, and most of the characters have played a part. No signing, but most of my players picked more martial routes. Also, the setting played out perfectly. The party was a group of EITC emissaries sent to secure a Hun Port City trade contract. To get the trade contract, the Hun warlord sent them off to go stop a peasant revolt. Shortly afterward, they get a taste of the Rebellion after a Shop keep balls up a honoring to his ancestors, and gets himself possessed. He eventually gets put down by the Alantean merc.

Everything went better then expected. The only complaint I might find is that I found players could easily make 10-20 roles very easily, but that might just be because It was test they would be good at.

But yeah, things are looking good

>>36177194

He's a very competitive person (especially with the other males in the party), and generally has a humorless worldview (which will eventually be changed through character development). Before his parents were hung for heresy, they taught him a bit about how magic worked and how to deal with it should he ever encounter it since his parents were refugees from Prydain. He spent the rest of his young life in Radcliffe's army trying to distinguish himself despite being embittered about his parents' deaths. This urge to reach higher status became an urge to master the sword. As he reached his 17th year he started questioning whether this was his true calling and resolved that he should travel the world to improve himself. He is sure that this monotony would stunt his development otherwise.

Eventually he will determine that the only way to do right by his parents would be to defeat the Horned King and his Cauldronborn.

>>36177246
Players are supposed to make 10-20 rolls very easily -- the average roll, without skills, is 17.5.

So let's talk about buffing using skills other than Singing, be it potion-making, gadget-building or other such things.

As long as it is agreed that they are not to be stronger or more effective than Singing, would you allow it? I would.

>>36178058
It seems fair, honestly I'd use singing as a boost to those other skills.
Sing a merry little tune about concocting the perfect potion or building a nifty device, makes it all the more effective.

Did a K/L/R. First time writing fluff, tell me what needs to be fixed:
King: Chernabog, the Wings of Terror, the King of Bald Mountain, but best known as HIM. Chernabog is an ancient, evil thing, a primordial horror from before the earth was forged. Chernabog's power is essentially unlimited, but HE only expresses it via physical might or foul magic that HE must personally use. Demons from places unknown flock to our world, trying to warm themselves around the fire of our reality like an ocean around a candle, and HE picks and chooses the best of them to let into Earth. HE spends the majority of his time on Bald Mountain unless something requires HIS presence, but when HE moves, all tremble in fear at HIS mighty shadow.

Land: The land ruled by Chernabog is a broken, scarred land generally referred to as Bald Mountain – though the Mountain itself is only in a small section of it. Nothing grows there. No plants, no fungi, and even animals find themselves stunted in growth. Yet no person starves to death in Bald Mountain. Instead, they grow thinner and hungrier and thinner and hungrier until there is almost nothing left but a suffering shadow of a person who exists only to hunger and be tormented by the Demons. There is no food. There is no water. Life itself is impossible under HIS shadow, but people are kept alive in their tortured half-life so that they may suffer for HIS pleasure. Visitors to Bald Mountain are generally left alone, for the land itself saps at their life. If they are armed or attempt to help the inhabitants, however, the Demons soon set upon them, rending their flesh and tearing them literally limb from limb as their numbers blot out the sun.

(cont.)

>>36178163
Rule: Chernabog will ignore adventurers and heroes unless they attempt to help the 'citizens' of Bald Mountain, or unless they speak his name. Saying “Chernabog” attracts HIS attention. Saying it once merely informs HIM of who said it. Saying it twice lets HIM know where they are. On the third time, HE may come looking for them himself – and that is something that no one has ever survived. Even saying HIS name once will likely get a swarm of Demons sent after the fool, and the people of Bald Mountain will frequently advise against it.

>>36178163
>>36178170
I like it: very suitably horrific, which is exactly what we're shooting for with Cherrybomb, but I feel like this needs some expansion.
What are these demons like? Where do they come from? What's stopping people from just leaving this hellish place and go end their suffering by going outside his influence?

Honestly, by looking at various KLR, you can see that some of them are a fraction of others in lenght. I feel like we need to put them on the same level: either we reduce the longer ones or we expand the shorter ones.

So how does the Sleepy Hollow Horseman work, anyway? What happened in the DVV version?

>>36178214
Nobody can bring themselves to leave. Too tiring

This is what I wake up to find.

This.

This is amazing and you should feel amazing for writing it.

>>36178425
Withstand = Prevent Harm, I assume?

Looks fine to me. Keep in mind that Sensible and intelligent, as well as most Charisma characters will be standing around for the fight. Make sure they have something to do.

>>36178441
Do you mean his backstory?

He was a member of Queen Grimhilde's Mirrorguard, who went mercenary. He traveled to Virginia to earn a fortune. He was very good at it, then, while in Sleepy Hollow, he fell to sorcery. (Unknown who)

He was able to rise up on Oogie's Night, and ran down Ichabod Crane. Then returned to his slumber.

In the adventure, a bored Fae revives him so she can have some entertainment. Problem is, she's lost control of him. So now he's riding loose, he chops people's head's off in the thought that if he can reclaim a head, he'll be able to rest.

So, the PC's have to stop him, and deal with a few other problems that his revival has caused.

>>36178497
Well, hopefully the PCs will have allies with them going into the fight. I'm thinking that the Sensible and Charisma characters could help them, or be support?

Should I change the 'Cant Reason With A Headless Man' a bit and make the Horseman vulnerable to being distracted by song?

>>36175761

That's part of Mahrikatohka's character development, and one of her goals is "learn responsibility." Her regret at upsetting Sverd was something I was really glad to see at the end of the story.

>>36178517
Support is a good choice for the music-oriented Charisma characters. Perhaps suggest to your players that their Sensible character pick up at least one weapon skill?


Can't reason with a headless man: it's fine. Running into an enemy that can't be persuaded is common. It's a game balance issue I'll work out when it isnt 6 AM.

>>36178517
Make it clear to them that their talents might not work on him and give them PLENTY, and I do mean PLENTY to do before, and you might be okay.

>>36178532
I got it.

Can’t Reason With A Headless Man: The Horseman is immune to any form of attack that involves persuasion.

And two more weaknesses:
Hollow Echoes: If a successful Music check is made, the Horseman gets -3 to his next round.

Out-Of-Date Textbook Style: If a successful Insight+Sensibility check is made by a character who can speak, all PCs gain +3 bonus to attacking the Horseman, for one round.

Of course, the PCs will have to work to discover that he HAS those weaknesses.

>>36178543
I understand why you gave him those from a meta point of view, but what's the justification in-game?

>>36177399

This was really fun to read. You've got a real handle on dialogue, and I felt that both the French Inquisitors and Hades himself were really well voiced in this.

He's using the Mirrorguard combat style, only he's using one that's old and out-of-date. It's got open weaknesses and it telegraphs moves, if you know what you're looking for.

>Hollow Echoes
As a member of the Mirrorguard, he was forbidden from frivolous things like music, dancing, singing, etc. He became a mercenary so he could indulge in those things, which he did. If he 'hears' those things again, it will distract him as his desires get the better of him.

So, you deter weeaboo influence... by letting weeaboos influence it?

>>36176006
Yeah, that's Hades right there.

>>36178532
>>36178543
Why not have him be tauntable? The social PCs can still yell insults to piss him off and distract him.

>>36178671
Eh, he's got military discipline. He's above taunting.

>>36178687
So, his immunity to taunts comes from his training, huh?
>"OH, LOOK! SOMEBODY PRETTIER THAN GRIMHILDE!"

>>36178645
More by pigeonholing it into a little corner and sticking a sign over it reading "here be crazy stag things but they're kinda mixed in with all the pirates and shit okay now asia isn't all just huns and animals."

Just woke up gents and glad to see that the thread is still alive. I'll be working to try and finish up my little bit of "Hunting the Beast" nonsense that I started the other day and contributing where I can.

>>36178671
>>36178687

As silly as it sounds, what if the players weren't so much taunting him as arguing with him or presenting arguments as to which of their heads is the best head for him to take?

>>36178718
>"MY HAIR IS MORE FABULOUS THAN HIS!"

>>36178728

>"MY CHIN IS NOBLER!"

>"MY FACE IS HE MOST PROPORTUNATE!"

>>36178699
He doesn't care about that stuff. He left and became a merc. He wants a head, and he wants to live again and go 'dancing' with Katarina Von Trapp or Nakoma, or both. He's above petty insults. His desire for music and dance though...well...that's a much stronger urge.

>>36178718
That would work, if it happens before combat starts. Once he's started slashing, it doesn't really matter what head he wants. He'll take what he can get.

However, that's a great method for tricking him into ambushes, or getting him onto the Covered Bridge.

Anyway, I have to crash. I'll make the rest of the stats for the Sleepy Hollow game tomorrow.

Thanks everyone, this was a huge help.

>>36178739

It also gives something for the smart guys and the sensible guys to do in setting up said trap or ambush.

Still writing, but it's slow going and not something I'm generally incredibly adept at. In the mean time, I'll post that pair of "Beastly Belle" images from the last thread. They're maybe too cutesy, like Anon had said, but they're something and maybe they'll inspire some more brainstorming and fluffing-out.

This one is a bit too cute for my purposes, but is still pretty Disney, all things considered.

>>36179244
This actually puts me more in mind of a daughter of Belle and the Beast, conceived in a night of wild passion but born after Gaston had slain her father and taken Belle as his bride. Could you imagine Gaston's rage at seeing the child he thought would be his strapping son be born instead the bastard daughter of the Beast?

>>36179308

I may actually like this idea better than Belle as the Beast. I may need to look over my story again and do a bit of thinking.

A Man Pays His Dues: Your word is your bond; your blood flows through every promise you make. When you swear to someone that you will do something, you gain bonuses to everything in the pursuit of it, but fail- and the Other Side will take a part of your soul. Mechanically represented by permanent stat penalties; you lose a level for failure. Strength of effect might vary; a minor commitment brings only minor boosts and temporary penalties for failure, but promising to succeed or die- and you'll succeed or die.

I Shot the Sheriff: +3 to Ranged against any authority figures you deem corrupt.

Not enough room for his bio. Basic idea is that Alameda Slim and Fecilier both fucked him over and now he's trying to get out of a deal with the friends on the other side.

>>36174724
You know, at this point it don't see much point in including Monoke at all.

>>36179616

Very nice character generation. I like the flavor he's got as more of a lawman than a cowboy, and can see how he fits really well into that disputed borderlands area between the Shadowlands and the Wild West.

Maybe I'll try and remake a few of my old character ideas with the most up to date creation notes

>>36179626
I would be happy leaving the Japanese islands as contested between the Huns, the Pirates, Atlantis and Mononoke-esque spirits, but don't think that we need the actual plot of Princess Mononoke made canon in this setting.

Can't we just say that the spirits and small gods of the islands, older and wilder than the ancestors on the mainland, have staged their own revolt and made Japan a surreal, mystically-charged warzone?

are we carrying over the idea of a twofold hunnic china campaign?

>>36179748
If we're going to include it at all, then we should probably include it so it should be used, preferably making references to the actual characters in it, rather than going full-genocide too.

>>36179748

If we use it we should use it all, down to the characters.

No point in pussying around: it's either in or out.

>>36179788

Oh! Do you mean the idea where the first half of the campaign is the defeat of the Huns, and the second half of the campaign is the actual end of the Spiritual War with the pacification of the spirits and ancestors and the selection of a new Emperor?

>>36179828
No we shouldn't. We should give people the OPPORTUNITY to use the characters, same way they have the opportunity to make Belle a Beast, a rebel leader, Gaston's sex slave or some combination of at least two of the above.

>>36179929
You're right. Shame that the inly backstory we have kills off 100% of the cast who stay on screen for more than ten minutes.

>>36178110
We seem to be putting a lot of focus on singing considering it was originally going to be an optional rule, to allow for us to play via text or in public spaces.

>>36179942
Then don't use it. If it's impossible to use, don't try to force it in. I personally liked the idea in >>36179748.

>>36179983

It's better to leave something mildly but nicely flavored than try and force it and leave things tasting too salty and unpleasant.

>>36179983
Again, if we're going to include it then there's little point in half-assing it. Which is all we're seeming to do.

>>36180008
Like I said: Then let's not include it and instead just have cool nature spirits for the sake of cool nature spirits.

>>36180013
>Lets just not include it, but include it exactly to the way I'm saying we shouldn't

>>36179839
well basically, yes

>>36180052
What's wrong with just having cool nature spirits? We're not "half-assing" it, because we're not saying "They're kind of like Ghibli guys", we're saying "They aren't Ghibli guys, they're their own thing."

>well basically, yes
meant to add that I proposed this idea a few threads back

>>36180067
Why include it at all at that point? They're basically Mononoke-spirits, but you're just calling them Not-Mononoke spirits to get around doing the backstory for it.

>>36180092
Because nature spirits are cool. Not to mention, for the only reason we included them in the first place: What else are we going to put there?

>>36179943
You character sings; no one said YOU had to sing.

>>36180110
Then why are we bothering to write all these lyrics?

>>36180067

What's wrong is that we are doing a Disney setting, so we should use things from Disney movies.

Maybe cool nature spirits would be interesting, but so it could be a tribe of steampunk goblins who hunt mammoths in the desert.

We can't just add random things because they sound cool on paper, otherwise we would be making Golarion.

>>36180117

We? One guys likes to write lyrics, so he's writing lyrics.

>>36180140
Then why were we using things from Studio Ghibli at all?

>>36180140
>We can't just add random things because they sound cool
Why not, who's stopping us? If you think steam punk goblins are cool, just put them in.

>>36180057
>>36180075

I remember the idea from a few threads back and I'd liked it when you'd proposed it. I like that it shows that there's more to healing the land than just defeating the Villain who happens to be ruling it.

How would this campaign be run, do you suppose?

I think that the player characters would have to meet up with Mulan the Undying and join her Spiritual Rebellion near the beginning, fighting alongside her soldiers and her undead in what might seem like the setting's most straightforward military campaign. Yes there are spirits and undead, but essentially the story is of a grassroots rebellion fighting against an occupying enemy. Once Shan Yu is killed however, things take a real turn as the allied ancestors no longer have an enemy to unite them, and they start bickering and infighting as to how they believe China ought to be ruled from here on out, turning on each other and themselves.

It makes me wonder what's to become of Mulan the Undying in such a scenario, having devoted herself so completely and for so long to killing Shan Yu, but discovering that his death has not succeeded in bringing peace to the land as she had been told and believed it would.

>>36180152

I can't give you a reason: I voted against it.

>>36180155

>So, you see, it's a setting based around the question: "What if the Disney Villains won"?

>Oh, cool! And how d. . . wait, are those steampunk goblins?

>Yeah, I tought they were cool. And look, this is were I put the elves!

>>36180155
I'm the guy advocating nature spirits, and I think that's a bad plan. We can't put in things that are TOO out of place. We're including Eldorado because it fits Disney. Not to mention we have nature spirits anyway, so including them isn't too massive a problem. Ghibli just doesn't fit with the Disney style. We only agreed to include them because Disney was responsible for distribution, I seem to recall, but then why have Eldorado? That was completely unrelated to Disney.

>>36180176
Then you and I both want an alternative to Ghibli. What would you suggest?

>>36180176
>>36180178
>>36180179
And again, why not? You can laugh all you want, but if someone wants to have elves and dwarves, we should just put them in. Why are you people so dead set on not giving us what we want?

>>36180196
I think you mean not giving YOU what you want. You're the only one advocating elves and dwarves, bro.
Not to mention we already have dwarves, and Atlanteans could be elves.

>>36180196
>what we want
>WE
It's just you. Everyone else is willing to get with the program.

>>36180196
But we already have elves and dwarves. Elves are of the "asshole fae" variant and obey Maleficient, while dwarves have been enslaved by Queen Grimhilde and forced to work in her mines and craft superior equipment for her armies. They even have a resistance movement.

Can't help but think pic related is relevant

>>36180189
I believe that the general consensus is that it's split between the Huns, the EITC, the pirates and Ursula.

>>36180189

My main problem is that I just don't see what's so important about Japan that we just HAVE to put something special there.

There are no Disney movies set in Nigeria, but we didn't go around searching for animated stuff set there. we just give the place to some one we already had.

We should just do the same with Japan: let's say it's a contested land between Shan Yu, Ursula and Captain Hook and David Jones.

A war zone with civilians caught in the middle of several armies is something we lack herew, while North American is already filled with cool nature spirits doing whaky nature spirits stuff.

>>36180196

>>36180210
>>36180216
>>36180256
It's not me, there a lot of people here that want more varied options: just because something is not in a disney movie it doesn't mean we shouldn't put it in. Nature spirits and more traditional fantasy elements would make this setting better, not worse, since that way we could add a lot more classes and options.

>>36180253
>>36180256
I'm okay with this. Let's do it.
>>36180321
Dude, I've advocated for tons of things not in Disney movies. We should not have generic traditional fantasy elements. We have the opportunity to make something unique here, don't drag it down with your generic fantasy bullshit.

With the exception of honorary Disney and elements from the literature upon which the movies were based, I can assure you that you are very, very wrong.

>since that way we could add a lot more classes
>more classes
>pic related

>>36180321

I can appreciate your position, but while I had originally said that adding Mononoke's nature spirits might be a good idea, I would really we rather not open a big can of worms by trying to add in "more traditional fantasy elements" as you're suggesting. The overarching theme of this entire project has been "Disney as Fuck," and I'm afraid of diluting that theme or causing the setting and the system to stray too far from the source material.

>>36180321
like how the idea of Frollo having a platoon of headless mules because he has a gypsy harem has been joked about

I still say that giving the option of including random brazillian folklore for shits and giggles is a fantastic idea

>>36180360
adding folklore flavor (but flavor only) to fill in any holes that might pop up isn't a bad idea though

>>36180372

>>36180377
>>36180403
See? people want more options, not this Disney straight jacked you locked us in. Ghibli is good, headless mules are good, we should put in more stuff like that.

>>36180446
The "headless mules" thing was a joke. And seriously, only one guy wants Ghibli. You don't count, you just want things that aren't Disney, and as such are playing the wrong system. It's like asking a 40k game to let you play a Jedi.

Y'know, for all the complaining about Nob and his WIZARDS, he does a pretty good job of keeping us on track. We tend to actually achieve shit when he's here.

>>36180500
I count at least 3 people

>>36180446

Go play D&D, dude.

The argumebt for Ghibli was that disney helped distribute and even then, we juat left it as a clusterfuck area. There's no K/L/R properly set for it and they don't play a substantital part

This is a DISNEY SETTING, with that one thibg there because, look at this, because nobody elsa knew what to do with Japan

If you and two more guys want elves and dwarves, though shit, there's another 10 that don't want that shit here

>>36180446
You want to add elves, wizards and other traditional fantasy elements in your game? Fine, nobody can tell you how to have fun, but don't try to shoehorn them into the core setting just to make it look more varied.

>>36180446
Frollo being a lich in the first place is a relic from thread 2 before we agreed that the timeline was going to be a clusterfuck (Frollo needed to be a lich to have survived to the era of Atlantis). The headless donkey thing was just a joke; if we include it, it'll be as an inside joke for everyone who was in the HUELANDER thread. None of that is an invitation to go full Golarion.

>>36180512

Yeah, which is why we make fun of him. It's comraderia mockery.

Frankly a lot of anons did contribute but Nob was the one that kept kicking us back on track and making most of the crunch

>>36180522
I don't think anyone's arguing to make the area bigger, we're just fighting to keep it because it DOES make things interesting

>>36180511
>pidgeonhole weeaboos, give them a tiny place that is guaranteed not to expand and you both make them stop yelling and keep them from going anywhere else
Alternatively, just tell them to fuck off and go play something else.
>so the Huns don't have ALL of Asia
Pirates. Ursula.
>it makes a clusterfuck of a situation with the rest of the factions that are there, because those are interesting
Pirates. Ursula.
>arguably-neutral nature spirits are not a bad thing to have one or two more of, you need easymode places for characters to start in case they don't want to belong to a faction right off the bat
The nature spirits working with Aurora Borealis.
>there really aren't many (or any) other Disney-esque options for that area, and [see note #2]. Hero Team 6 was already considered and discarded as too futuristic
Pirates. Ursula.
In the end, the answers are to add in regular non-Ghibli nature spirits and to include Pirates, the EITC and Ursula. Also, if we're not accommodating wizards we won't accommodate weebs, because those are even worse.

>>36180548
thus far I count one or two people who are fighting to get rid of it and two or three that are fighting for it and the rest are just standing by and watching the fight

we took a poll, Shikigame won by a fair margin

>>36180580
You count two or three POSTS that are fighting for it. Numbers of people can't be judged by posts on anonymous image boards.

Guess what time it is, kiddies! That's right, it's strawpoll time!
http://strawpoll.me/2995317

>>36180594
I'm remembering past threads actually, there was more than one person

and the same can be said for the posts fighting against it

>>36180621
Please note: If you say an option that isn't "all of the above", you're voting we give Japan solely to that thing. Voting for generic nature spirits doesn't just replace Ghibli, voting for all of the above without Ghibli does. Otherwise, it all goes.

I know for a FACT that we pretty much only called that area Ghibli to give it a name and a vague theme. In-game it was basically a big 'HERE BE SPIRITS' on the map

>>36180639
I'm pretty sure we're only talking about what's currently lavender, the rest will stay as is

>>36180439
No one's seen this movie? Shame, I'd like to have put something in Hueland more than just 'tributaries of Yzma'. I don't even mean that from a territory point of view, I'd just to be able to talk about shit that went down there.

>>36180658
I know, but there are options on the poll to give it entirely to spirits of either variety, pirates, the EITC or Ursula. I thought it was better to include those options just in case.

>>36180542

Plus the fact that we have fewer people posting around this time, and things tend to slow down. Our creative juices just flow more freely later on it seems, and when we run low we tend to get to bickering.

>>36180658
>>36180678
Should we just count any votes for "generic nature spirits" as votes against Ghibli then?

>>36180542
>the one that kept kicking us back on track and making most of the crunch
Not really: he kicks us back on track, yes, but he never made a lot of crunch himself. Some traits and stuff, but mostly he gathers stuff other people did.

>>36180724
I'd say so.

>>36180729
And is that less useful or more useful? Better to keep a lot of people making fluff than be the only one making fluff yourself, I'd say.
>>36180735
Somebody voted for generic nature spirits. Whoever that was, did you want it to be just nature spirits or instead of ghibli? If the latter, you don't need to say anything, we'll assume it.

>>36180724>>36180742
as the voter who took that option, I am more for Ghibli than against it, I mostly did that as a compromise

>>36180742
It's very useful to have someone to gather things. I was just pointing out what it is that he does.

>>36180763
yes, archive diving is a pain in the ass and having a compiler is wonderful

>>36180742
I'm the one that voted for Generic Nature Spirits, but if I have to choose I am more against Ghibli that in favor.

Well, that's what generic nature spirits are. They're a replacement for Ghibli.
>>36180784
No, there isn't.

>Vote is a dead tie, flipping back and forth between with and without Ghibli and the draw.
Please tell me this isn't two guys who keep changing their IPs to get more votes.

>>36180763
Well, he didn't really compile everything himself: I remember clearly that we had one guy putting together the rules and one guy putting together the fluff. Nobody gathered the traits, I guess?

So, assuming that nature spirits mean as a replacement for Ghibli, that gives us 5-6 against with roughly 40 minutes left on the clock.

new concept for Yzma, Suggestibility potion.
after all, why go to war with someone when you can have them agreeing with /whatever/ you say after a few drinks.

>>36180802
You see, this is why we can't decide things. There's no telling how many people want what.

>>36180808

I don't think we are going to get a lot more votes in the next 40 minutes.

Unless . . .

>>36180802

Christ, I hope not.

>>36180808
I keep saying >>36180759

My vote SHOULD have been 'combination with Ghibli'

>>36180805
>Nobody gathered the traits
But we have a list of traits, so someone must have gathered them.

>>36180841
'nobody' means Nob

>>36180724
You know, you could just use fantasia's firebird and nature spirit as your 'generic spirits.' Shit, the volcano could even be mt. Fuji if you wanted. You guys already use chernabog, why not make Japan this -> http://vimeo.com/m/36277436

>>36180849
we've already got Firebird in Oregon

>>36180849

Nah, the Firebird lives in Mt. St. Helens.

>>36180836
The fact that you keep insisting it makes me suspicious of if it was actually you. It's like when somebody posts a screencap to prove they aren't samefagging.
>>36180849
Congratulations! You've realised exactly what we've been doing this whole time!

>>36180784
>>36180836
Are you shitting me? I'm the one that alway said we should have generic nature spirits. I voted that, you cunt.

>>36174444
>One of them may or may not be a Beast roaming the French countryside.
Naw, Gaston's win condition pretty much requires he kills Beast. He even has a song entitled "Kill the Beast".

Belle, however, is one of the surviving heroes. She's married to Gaston under the effects of Frollo's mind control, and is pumping out Gaston's sons at an alarming rate (sons which may or may not be the super-human result of Gaston's genetics and Frollo's magic). There are currently three sons and a fourth on the way.

>>36180849
The forests we saw in the Firebrd's short looked like temperate rainforests, the sort you find in British Columbia.

On the other hand, who's to say the Firebird can't just pop out of any volcano anywhere in the world?

>>36180784
>>36180836
>>36180860
Look, it's irrelevant. Anti-Ghibli is winning either way. Although personally, I think that vote should just be discounted since we don't know who made it.

>>36180860
I have no way to prove otherwise, other than the fact that you're making me want to strangle you for being so low as to lie

Could we just do a new poll? Then I could vote the way I meant to, and Dear Liar, please don't be an ass and change your vote to Generic Spirits

>>36180876
Yeah. I don't see why he has to stay in mt. St. Helens. He/she seems like a pretty primal force.

>>36180876
Also, there was an elk.

Personally I'm starting to think you two are actually the same guy, trying to troll us into not making a poll.

Are generic fantasy guy? Is this you revenge for those poor D&D elves we didn't add to the setting?

>>36180881
No matter how you voted, not-Ghibli would still come out on top. No point in having another poll.

Half an hour left on the poll. Looks like Ghibli's out, folks. Unless we get a huge and sudden influx of weeaboos.

>>36175597
Dino Kissinger's name is Antrodemus Red-Throat.

>>36180911
Well, as someone who wanted Ghibli, can we still have nasty spirits? I really liked the mystery there

>>36180848
>>36180841

Actually, that was me

The problem is that I didn't separate thrm inyo balanced and not quite done traits, I was hoping somebody could take a jab at it since my crunch fu is extremely weak

>>36180922
Spirits are a thing. The spirits that we have can still be dicks.

>>36180927

Sooner or later we are going to get around to it.

I'd help you, but I'm more of a general rules kind of guy, so I never really checked out what kind of Traits, Powers and Species people made.

>>36179308
Ooh yeah, that's good

>>36180868

I think that Anon was talking about the "Belle as a Beast" rumor, or perhaps the "Belle's bastard daughter with the Beast," which I actually find myself wanting to write about.

The EITC vote in the poll is probably against Ghibli too, since it's voting for a replacement.

>>36180988
>>36180961

Right? The idea's got legs and could be really fun, providing the PCs with an ally in Frollo/Malificent's lands.

Why does everyone want Ghibli gone again?

>>36180934
It could be another branch of Aurora Borealis, maybe. They like their spirits up there.

>>36181029
That makes the most sense. Honestly I'd prefer it if we didn't have to fuck around in Japan at all any more.

>>36181025
Why would we want Ghibli anyway? It's unfitting, it hasn't been fluffed, and there are so many equal or better replacements.

>>36181045
>It's unfitting,
How so?
> it hasn't been fluffed
Like a lot of things.
> and there are so many equal or better replacements.
Such as?

>>36181025

Same reason I only want Disney movies: because it's a setting about Disney movies.

>>36181029
This has already been suggested. Filling all of Japan with nature spirits is actually an option on the poll, though I think it's better to have nature spirits, pirates, Huns, EITC and Ursula in the same place, just for the ridiculous clusterfuck of a warzone that would create.
>>36181059
>How so?
Ghibli isn't Disney As Fuck™ at all. It's a lot of things, but it isn't Disney.
>Like a lot of things.
Fair point.
>Such as?
Ursula. Pirates. The nature spirits we already have. Huns.

>>36181059

>How so?

It's not Disney

>Such as?

A four way between Ursula, the EITC, the pirates and Shan Yu.

>>36181076
5-way, if we include AB's spirits.

>>36181059
Such as it being a small area fought tooth and nail over by the Huns, the EITC, the pirates and Ursula, plus maybe some Aurora Borealis spirits as well.

>>36181069
>>36181076
>it isn't Disney
>It's not Disney
So fucking what? We can still put it in if it's cool and people like it.

Guy that wrote the Japan fluff. Don't feel like getting a name unless i have to.

Would 'Generic Nature Spirits' mean that land goes to Aurora Borealis? I'm cool with that, honestly. Missed a lot overnight.

>>36181045
>it hasn't been fluffed
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gO6mDY7V3kCCAJfCwL7ZM3U7oHrylNcI_sjrE9Uq7BI/edit?usp=sharing
It's not good, but I wouldn't call it nothing.

>>36181090
imo spirits are spirits, and the only difference between shinto spirits and borialis is that one has shrines and the other has dances

>>36181092
I'd just give Japan to the Pirates: they need an island base like that.

>>36181069
>Ghibli isn't Disney As Fuck™ at all. It's a lot of things, but it isn't Disney.
>>36181076
>It's not Disney
Thought the reason we included it was because Mononoke was bought over by Disney, dubbed by Disney and sold by them too.
Unless it's some sort of "It isn't Disney in spirit" thing I'm missing here. I don't agree with >>36181092, that sort of attitude is bad, but there is a reason we included it beyond "It looked and sounded cool at the time."

>>36181069
>The nature spirits we already have.
I feel the Demon/Shishigami/Animal Gods could be a good combo to replace those nature spirits.

>>36181092

No we can't. It has to bare enough of a resemblance to a Disney movie that it will fit in a world made of Disney movies, or it won't fit. Also,
>We can still put stuff in if it's cool and people like it.
Is it cool? Yes. Do people like it? Look at the poll, genius. There are 6 votes for Ghibli vs 11 votes for something else.
>>36181100
Yes, it would. All of the above without Ghibli means Ghibli's lands go to AB, but everything else stays as it is.
>>36181115
Yeah, it's about being Disney in spirit more than being made by Disney. Unfortunately, Ghibli isn't. Also, why would we replace the spirits?

>>36181100
Anon, your fluff can be summed up by "Remove everything that made Mononoke Mononoke, just do it instory rather than meta", it adds nothing other than that.

>>36181115
Methinks a better approach to take would be
>>36181103

>>36181115
>the reason we included it was because Mononoke was bought over by Disney, dubbed by Disney and sold by them too.

It was a bad reason then and it's a bad reason now: Disnery buys and sells a lot of stuff, but that doesn't mean it's Disney™: only Disney movies are Disney movies.

I mean: Kill Bill was distributed by Disnery, but it's not Disney™.

>>36181143
You've got me there. At least we came to a (hopefully final) compromise on the topic.

>>36181142
>Yeah, it's about being Disney in spirit more than being made by Disney.
Well you're certainly right there, that's something I can't argue.

>Also, why would we replace the spirits?
Meant the spirits planned to replace the Shishigami, rather than all spirits forever.

>>36181145
I don't know, seems to be kind of a half-assed stopgap to me, I'd prefer EITC themed puppet monarch.

>>36181148
Eldorado, correct me if I'm wrong, was a Dream works movie, wasn't it?

Can we maybe put the debate to rest for now and concentrate on fluffing and crunching things out? We've still got a lot of great stuff worth doing in these threads without things getting more heated than they already are.

>Writing more KLRs
>Fluffing and statting some NPC allies
>Character creation
>Campaign and quest brainstorming
>Writing or drawing, if the talent is there

I'm getting ready for thread archival, and it would be nice to start the next one on a positive note.

>>36181167

>Eldorado, correct me if I'm wrong, was a Dream works movie, wasn't it?

And it was a mistake including it: we should totally take it out.

I mean, even if it does fit the theme it still keeps attracting people like you and generic fantasy guy.

Alright, gents, it's been an hour, and the end result is 9 votes for Some combination of the above without Ghibli, 6 votes for Some combination of the above, with Ghibli, 1 vote for Pirates and 1 vote for The EITC. REMOVE GHIBLI it is.
>>36181167
>Eldorado, correct me if I'm wrong, was a Dream works movie, wasn't it?
Like we said: Disney in spirit. Though if you're a purist, just turn Eldorado into the Tributaries.

>>36181183
Hmm. This is actually a dilemma. Do we keep Eldorado, knowing it might give people the wrong impression, or do we dump it and thus lose an interesting area? My personal vote is that it exists, but it's merged into the Tributaries.

>>36181175

I'm with this guy

>>36181148
>>36181167
I'm a fan of including El Dorado, but it might be best to save it for the Dreamworks expansion, and give it the temporary boot along with the Mononoke stuff.

>>36181118
And now you're turning against eachother. It was inevitable: usign only disney movies is a stupid idea and it goes completely against thew wonder that these threads were originally about. By trying to keep it pure, pure, pure, you're ruining it.

>>36181192
Keep it, it's Disney enough. We're not putting any more in from Dreamworks.

>>36181202
But we aren't. It's people trying to stop it being pure that are ruining it. You aren't the solution, you're part of the problem.

>>36181183
>even if it does fit the theme it still keeps attracting people like you and generic fantasy guy.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, I was just asking since I didn't remember Eldorado being a Disney film and as such was confused about it's err...Disney spirit in that one Anon's eyes who wanted to remove it, you, I think.

>>36181186
>Like we said: Disney in spirit.
Which is what I thought.

>>36181167
Yes, but let's consider a hypothetical situation for a moment: you, initially knowing nothing about the movie, one day see El Dorado without seeing the title cards or credits; you have seen nothing that officially indicates who produced the movie. If someone were to tell you that it were produced by Disney, would you not accept that as the truth at face value?

That is our standard for 'honorable Disney', and that's why we included El Dorado.

>>36181200
>>36181192

I also like Eldorado and it fits the Disney as Fuck theme perfectly, but since the day we included it we started getting people that used it as an excuse for adding everything to the setting.

>>36181227
Let's make Eldorado its own territory in the expansions. In the meantime, make an Aztec part of the tributaries. A little blood magic might make Yzma a more threatening villain.

>>36181236
Really not the point of Yzma.

>>36181247
Well, what is the point? So far, the only evil things we've seen her do are taxes and the occasional generic mad science thing. Who's to say blood magic can't be combined with the latter? Besides, if Yzma herself isn't an Aztec priestess (of course she isn't), couldn't we just have Tzekel-Kan be an important religious official in her empire?
Ooh, idea: Yzma destroyed an Aztec-like civilisation, and now the survivors are raiding the surrounding territories and trying to start a rebellion using profane magic and human sacrifices. This gives the players more options of things they can do to ally with Yzma, Facilier or Slim, or perhaps allies to stand against them.

>>36181277

I believe that Yzma isn't meant to be the evilest of the Villains by far. Her brand of evil is the cartoony, super-villainous sort of evil that leaves her citizens modestly miserable and jaded to her craziness but not as downtrodden as many cultures across this world.

>>36181247

Look at this woman, anon. Do you really think she doesn't deserve more than a continent?

>faggot gets denied
>"YOU'RE TURNING AGAINST EACH OTHER GUYS!!!11!1! YOU HAVE TO STOP TRYING TO KEEP IT PURE!1!!!11!"

>>36181277
You can do that in your game. It's one of the many options possible, as opposed to there being one true canon to play in.
>captcha: 7076 solargit

>>36181277

The point is that Yzma is fun, loony, and a mad scientist. Her kingdom doesn't cheer or cower when she has a new.evil plan, they simply sigh in unison as a "here we go again".

She controls the territory by making armies of crocodile and ox men, she pulls levers and laughs madly. Her point is that she is fun and completely egotistical

>>36181308
Then why do we have a map?

>>36181323

Because that's the option we use.

I'm in favor of leaving ElDorado, mainly because it's virtually indistinguishable from an actual Disney movie, fills a large and pretty important area and gives us a vile as fuck blood-warlock in a continent where almost everyone is on the line of "eh, he's a greedy asshole but he's not really that bad". But it should be the exception, not the rule. You know what? Maybe we should make a header saying exactly this. El Dorado is a stopgap, not an excuse to turn the setting in a kitchensink clusterfuck..

>>36181323
You're right; your idea is stupid. We should forget all about it and carry on as we were before.

>>36181323
To give people an idea of who should be where. Not who will be there and will not. Maybe Tzekel-kan rules Eldorado as a tributary of Yzma using their massive gold supplies. It's all options.

>>36181318
Then I see no problem with an army of Aztec rebels on her borders, also posing threats to Facilier and Alameda. Take away their territory, but keep them there. No way that faggots like that one guy in this thread can see the map and think they can do what they want, but we still get to include Aztecs. This seems to me like a suitable compromise. Of course, that's just my opinion.

>>36181323
The map is so we have an idea of who is where. If in your game you don't like Chernobog existing in the world? You can get rid of him.

>>36181340

We should probably do this: call the setting "Disney Villains Victorious (To Say Nothing of Tzekel - Kan)".

>>36181378
I like the reference

>>36181378
Problem with that is there are some other non-Disney guys who could pass for Disney; lich-Rasputin from Anastasia's true dark purpose to be fulfilled is to cement Churned Up Bog's victory by ensuring that Yahweh never makes a comeback, that one movie with the horse might provide a guideline to what the plains indians might be like, Hexxus would be great if we wanted have the world include a toxic wasteland and so on. Still want to keep the door open for other bits of honorary Disney.

Yo, I'm up.

Yzma already owns more land than any other villain, we can't give her even more.

>>36181500
Fern Gully, too. Maybe those Swan Princess movies.

Prince of Egypt is a particularly good one, because it resonates with the whole 'Churned Up Bog beat God' thing. What chance did the Hebrews stand without Yahweh's help?

Did you manage to get that Huntsmen song?

>>36181520
Size of territory isn't always proportionate to power. Compare the UK to any single state in the US, for instance.

>>36181567
Yeah, I wrote it last thread. It's in the doc as 'The Mob Song' (Reprise).

Trying to think of something good to write about. Hmm, anyone have a specific character and/or setting they'd like a song about?

>>36181553
Swan Princess is a pretty terrible movie, and the villain isn't really that interesting. Do we really want to keep it?

I am 100% behind adding Ferngully, even if it does mean breaking up Australia.

>>36181583

Hades is alway a crowd pleaser, but all this talking about Yzma is making me wondern if we could get something about her victory upon the Sun.

>>36181616
That's why I said MAYBE the Swan Princess movies. I don't remember much of them myself, but they're there in case we need a whack of Russian sorcerers.

>>36181470
Maybe you could try a song for:

>>36181583

I made a sensible guy character some threads ago......Used to be a pianist at one of Alameda's bar, got told off by his son for being a wimp, now set off to become a manly man and get respect.

Is it too boring for a song? The profile's not updated, but that's the basic idea

>>36181583
I have recently discovered the musical Children of Eden, and I very much like this song. Do you think you could do something with it?

There's definitely something in Sverd's useless portfolio of holding about villainous victories that I could modify.
>>36181642
Not sure if I have anything that'd fit here- that's a pretty specific scenario, but I'll look through.
>>36181643
No, that's a fine basis for a song indeed. Link the character.

Christ almighty, what happened? I go to sleep for a few hours and when I come back people are putting areas to the torch!

We had Princess Mononoke because we wanted to divide up an otherwise incredibly homogenous area with a roadblock of expansion for the Huns and create a pressure zone that was interesting for the players. Moreover, Studio Ghibli films were distributed by Disney in the US.

>>36181675
A whack is plural, anon. Swan Princess is only for when we need 2 or more Russian sorcerers.

>>36181687

>>36181737
No, you don't, because the rest of us are staying up and spending time working on this project. The fact that you were asleep means nothing. So what if you didn't get a say? You're not God. Also, for the record, I'm a britfag. 90% of our decisions have been made when either I was sleeping or I should have been sleeping. We've made our decision. You don't like it?
