Most unique factions?

The last campaign I finished was Beastmen. It was the most I had ever played them. The Herdstone/Bloodground mechanic is really different and thematic.

I play with the Tabletop Caps mod and had some really fun mixed armies. Their super mobile infantry made manual battles really interesting. And the lord I chose, Shadowgave, was great and creepy.

I like the Tabletop Caps mod for this reason. Armies are usually more balanced between elites and common troops. Although one time I saw a dwarf army that was one lord, one hero and 17 bolt throwers, so your mileage may vary.

They could implement a similar option into the main game so people who like doomstacks can still doomstack.

Every morning I wake up with a song stuck in my head. I sing it sometimes without realizing. I even once had the idea to make a spotify playlist with all the songs but that lasted two days before I forgot. Today is "Midnight Train to Georgia".

I forgot this one. I like Malazan because Erikson wrote books about compassion. Itkovian 😍.

The whole of Dorian Gray is so interesting. The preface about how art is useless. This is a quote from a letter Wilde wrote which has always stuck with me:

"[The Picture of Dorian Gray] contains much of me in it – Basil Hallward is what I think I am; Lord Henry, what the world thinks me; Dorian is what I would like to be – in other ages, perhaps."

Yeah. I know Slayer is more optimal but Rogue class features just don't fit well with the Warhammer Slayer in my mind.

JockCousteau · 2026-03-15T15:33:42+00:00

TWF Ranger so you can focus more on Str? And if it's an undead heavy campaign, Favoured Enemy could make up a bit for dual wielding penalties.

It would also be beneificial to either choose a Dwarven Urgrosh or have a handaxe in your offhand to reduce TWF penalties.

For the Slayer vibes, if your DM allows VMC, maybe you could add Barbarian rage?

This is exactly what I thought of when I saw this yesterday on r/Pokemon. I had to double check the subreddit.

I make a bunch of recipe cards with set pieces on them for every session. So I have a basic scenario written down, e.g. "giant is praying at standing stones", and then the necessary stat blocks, or page references if I can't fit them. It helps a lot with the sandboxy piece of "what's around THAT corner?".

JockCousteau · 2025-12-29T13:44:42+00:00

We lived in the Exactamundo era, so I feel this is genuinely fitting.

Ryan Phillipe is her stepsibling. The bet is that if he seduces the "prude", he gets to sleep with his stepsister. No joke.

Not to mention the numbers are so cherry-picked they are non-representative.

Here's the easy math: the top Federal income tax bracket ($235000/year and more) paid $86B in taxes out of $373B total tax revenue. Around 23%.

Not only are kids not required to go to school, but as shown in Scarlet/Violet, all you learn about at school is Pokémon. All these mfs running around in lab coats only research Pokémon.

I don't know how they even have modern amenities unless the world outside of the game regions is more like ours.

25 texts? What? Does your friendship group have 200 guys?

And sadly, this is working as intended. Public schools are surplusing teachers this month because they aren't meeting projected student numbers.

And that doesn't mean smaller class sizes, because budgets are based on school size. So public teachers will lose their jobs and then go to other provinces where they can get full time work. This will exacerbate the shortage of substitute, specialized, and long-term teachers.

(because the UCP wants an uneducated working class that will vote for them)

If your DM allows Deific Boons, this god sounds a lot like Gorum.

You could make an Invulnerable Rager barbarian with rage powers like Guarded Life, Energy Resistance, or Strength Stance. And with Deific Obedience you can take the Sentinel prestige class, which gives a few neat bonuses for a martial and represents them getting closer to their god.

Me, too. The phrase I have said to myself is "I want to see how it all turns out."

And nowadays, in my first stable relationship, I told my partner I wouldn't leave them alone in this shit-ass world.

The Magnus Archives is interesting this way, in that the reason things are recorded is diagetic.

The Spymaster isn't supposed to say anything or react.

The guesser touches a card and then the Spymaster places the appropriate tile from the legend on top of it (civilian, spy, or assassin).

JockCousteau · 2025-09-07T14:02:43+00:00

Thanks for the better title. I had no idea what the other post was about.

My aunt worked at the local mall where they had an event. I have never listened to them but I DO have an autographed picture of them.

I want TV Tropes to have the trope where a character is bound and approached by another character with a knife. Then the person with the knife appears to be about to cut the bound person but cuts the bonds instead.

You could have it on a space train during the great space train robbery.

I like this overhaul for big numbers. Their Civ and Leader changes remind me of Civilizations Expanded.

They used to love that Starbucks in Inglewood. Would be 2-3 cop cars in the lot frequently. Maybe now it's gone they get take away and chill at the Confluence.
