let me know if you have questions about any of this stuff!
One thing I suggest is that while players are making their characters, think about how the characters come to be a believable group with shared interests and goals.
One good example is somebody that all the players had known in their pasts passes away and there is a reading of the will. Some of...
Yeah, I guess the key word here is "Stupid" -- I think every goliath should have a david able to take them out with the right luck or knowledge, or every Achillies have an Achillies Heel... but yeah, seeing badasses take cheap falls is never fun. It detracts from everyones sense of power and...
Totally. I ran a nobility RP which went fantastically -- and there were social elements as well as a lot of intrigue, politics, diplomacy and fighting on a small and large scale. Really enjoyed it.
If there was going to be a nobility roleplay about a single event or ball, it should say that on...
Wrapping up ANYTHING too quickly. If it's in your RP, you should take the time to give it some love. I can understand sometimes the desire (or need) to wrap things up quickly... but it generally gets in the way of player agency and sweeps the rug from under some people. So I'm careful not to do...
I think a cool idea would be a "Big Sky" theme for pirates in a sci-fi/fantasy mixed world. By Big Sky I mean the adventures take place in a rich solar system, but there is breathable air beyond the isolated atmospheres of the planets -- ships (with fast drives to cover the distances) "sail"...
How many people a cow could feed if slaughtered right away, used for dairy depending on if there was a ready supply of grass or not.
It was for a post-apoc scenario where the survivors found a cow and had the dilemma of using it for short or long term sustenance... but boy did it lead me down...
As somebody who presently is (hopefully) coming off a months long bout of writers block -- I can only say THE MUSE COMES AND GOES. Make sure you take breaks from writing because that's totally healthy and a great way to revive your excitement about writing. Even Writers for award winning shows...
Back of the elementary school bus -- one of my classmates played an auctioneer for sci-fi equipment and the rest of us pretended to bid on it.
It was basically screaming until we were all hoarse and one of us would get picked. We loved it.
The bus driver on the other hand likely got some grey...

Probe Report 0709
(Review of Important antagonists on BIZES)
1) THE PERPETUAL ANCESTRY: These guys were DANGEROUS. A Cabal of Assassins each forged and proven by adventuring to the deepest strata of the planet's tech, this outfit of pretech-laden assassins removed any...
@mausedpotatos :
Cassyon scanned the empty sectors around the exiles and the black hole... it mattered not to the Hereteks how the Tau did things... they did things their own way. No planets, stars or orbital bodies were found in the void they scanned, but they did find plenty of debris...
@Heyitsjiwon :
The water caste held true to their names -- following the money by path of least resistance, they mapped the trade hub of BERG like blood cells working the ciculatory system of a living being. Capturing organs of the global economy and beyond, scouring for germs of opposition and...
@ThatWhichShouldBe :
Actions
Probe Action - Probe the Cabal behind the Tyrant of Bizes. Look for any hidden capabilities or other complications they might have that would prevent a successful uprising, obstacles that need to be removed before the trigger is pulled. Also investigate whether...
TURN 2:
@Kent
BEHOLD NOVA HORIZON
In the swirling debris field of Subsector Lonain Ara, in the ruins of Planet Mermagos, The Tau construction humbly named "Stationary Harvester" drew in minerals from giant chunks of mineral, rock and ice.
Quickly, it began to GROW. And when the forward arm...

Passive infantry sensors installed in armorplas torso and helm carapace. Gain...
@Sa-Moray :
Pol'E replied to his Captain: The strange entity was definitely NOT a parrot, and arguably based on how familiar one might be with parrots differing levels of convincing that it was one. It hovered slightly ominously above Sa-Moray's shoulder and it's eyes crackled with white...
