make it on my own and never post on 4chan.

Depends, what am I unifying?

>>6645352

a clusterfuck

http://1d4chan.org/wiki/The_Unified_Setting_for_/tg/

>>6645352
The original unified setting was supposed to take everything that /tg/ loves and make a setting out of it.
Half of /tg/ hated it.

So, how you would you unite that which /tg/ loves in a superior fashion?

>>6645362
I probably wouldn't pretend /tg/ is some kind of unified groupthink, recognize that for every poster who loves an element there are three who are indifferent, eight who want it used a different way, and four who are the same troll posting negative comments about in rapid succession. Then I'd give up on it for a fool's errand and write a setting I enjoyed.

>>6645374
This.

in order for it to work you must first discover the Grand Unified Theory.

By "Unified Setting" you mean a setting everyone builds and agrees upon, yes? So democracy?

Short answer is you don't. Look at current democracy. Not streets-are-on-fire bad, but not exactly sensible in a lot of ways.

Trouble is, most people are too stupid to design things well. If you're asking everyone to contribute, you're pretty much making an inferior product from the start.

Next, not everyone is going to take it seriously- some people will troll you or knee-jerk add things that seem neat in the split second between reading and posting. So your product is significantly decayed or in need of repair/guidance. Which is hard to do when the point is specifically to avoid "I'll decide everything."

Thirdly, most people have a piss-poor grasp and interest in continuity, scale, and generally related concepts. Many, many people don't care what the rest of the setting looks like when adding their ideas, so you're likely to end up with elements that don't fit very well together, because frankly, the people who suggested them were more concerned with "steampunk pandas are cool" than the fact that there's a dark, magic-fearing empire right next to it. So your product ends up disjointed and shitty on the whole, even if there's nothing innately retarded about any specific region or feature.

Finally, people love to rage. Avoiding a setting that half the board doesn't hate requires avoiding EVERYTHING- like cliches and different for the sake of different, plus it can't take itself to seriously, and it shouldn't be overly comedic, so...

TL;DR Past a certain author size, you're fucked.

Fucking apples bear what the fuck

Look, it's simple. You make TWO Unified Settings, with half of the board hating one and half of the board hating the other.

Then you get them to fight, joining both of them.

SUCCESS

(Admittedly, this is a simplification; it's very possible that some people might like both, and some might like neither. For those that don't like either, you'd have to make perhaps a third or fourth setting, and mash those together.. too many settings added together may cause backlash though, so you've got to get the balance down right)

>>6645454
Not a bad idea. Have multiple material planes catering to different tastes but part of the same overall cosmology.

>>6645454
>>6645495
/tg/ does loev Planescape

>>6645341
You simply cannot, as half the board will whine about it not being 40k or dorf fortress nomatter what you do.

>>6645495
Interesting concept.

>>6645526
The dorf fort players are more open to creative stuff than most, usually.

>>6645513
Planescape is an unimaginative shit. It's what've led to the death of 2e

Less furries, obviously.

>>6645395
steampunk pandas? this idea fascinates me.

>>6645640
steampunk pandas? this idea bores me.

>>6645622
Pick a better choice of trolling. The Unified Setting fags are used to it being called furry, and will ignore you. Nobody else cares.

>>6645608
Doesn't mean the core idea lacks potential, though.

>>6645622
here's the problem with that, anything not human is furry.

That only leaves Humans, Short Drunk Humans, Short Thieving Humans, Gay Treehugger Humans, Emo humans, and various other variations.

This is boring.

>>6645664
I care. This is the first mention of the Unified Setting project that i've paid any attention to, and i'm simply appalled by what was in its wiki entry. How the fuck anyone thought that was a good idea is beyond me.

>>6645678
>Implying that all non-humans have to have animal traits
Geez, it's like you've never heard of warforged, elementals and changelings before.

>>6645664

How is it trolling if it's the truth? Doesn't the majority of /tg/ loathe furries?

You can't.

There will never be a unified setting.

Unless half of /tg/ organises and begins to travel travel the world eliminating those who would oppose their Unified setting. Which would be a setting it itself.

>>6645714
>Which would be a setting it itself.
FUND IT!

>>6645701
I almost raged at your implication that those were furries... until i read your post in context and realized you were saying the exact opposite.

Well played.

>>6645701
I take it you haven't heard of the current definitions of "furry", Warforged = Anthropomorphic Toaster, Elemental = Anthropomorphic Rock and Changlings are just more gay humans.

>>6645714

run it with Mage: the Ascension and I'm sold

>>6645710
Pretty sure the majority doesn't give a fuck. If you consider monster girls to be furry (and, with as loose a definition of furry as >>6645622 has, they should probably count) then the majority of /tg/ is furry.

>>6645742
I vote BRP.

>>6645737
Would that make the Grim Reaper a furry as he is an anthropomorphosation (what the hell did I just write?) of the concept of Death?

>>6645746
The vast majority of monstergirls arent furry. You can start a monstergirl thread on /d/ without any trouble, but no way could you start a successful furry thread.

>>6645754
pretty much, although "dead human" works too.

>>6645761
Wow.

This just in: The Grim Reaper is a Furry. -.-'

I actually much preferred the previous, less serious attempt, which consisted mostly of fa/tg/uys populating the world with caricatures of the types of poster encountered here. So we had stuff like hairy creatures with a propensity for nerd rage called neckbeards, weeaboo city-states whose cultural exports were considered obnoxious abroad, I think there was some kind of steampunk nation as well, and the Mordor of the setting seemed to be inspired by FATAL.

The fact we could all agree beforehand that it was supposed to be intentionally stupid made it superior to the Unified Setting, in my opinion.

>>6645760
depends on what monstergirls are posted, I have seen bitching over straight-up anime catgirls.

>>6645778

If you like furry porn that's fine, but if it's part animal part human, it's furry.

Fapping to partly animals is probably less wierd than some of the other shit you fap to. And it doesnt mean you have to be a furry or any of that shit. It's just porn.

>>6645844
Like how fapping to convincing traps doesn't make you gay.

how does bear know what apples is?

ok, everyone see this thread here? this is why the unified setting, and any setting designed by group is doomed.

>>6645859
if you know they are men than yes, it's gay.

They'd all laugh if you told them what you knew. The people who haven't seen the things you've seen. The gatherings in shadowed places, the miracles, the secret war that rages right under their noses over apparently meaningless trivia. And they never know a thing, because it's simpler that way. They don't need to worry about what it all means.

But still the secret war rages on.

No-one quite knows exactly how it happened, or, indeed what it was, but on the 12th of December, 2009, at approximately 1215 GMT, every fa/tg/uy in the world collapsed into a coma, lasting for 12 days. When they awoke, they were changed.

Something within them had been warped and altered. Personalities were twisted: old priorities of friendship, family, even love, were broken and replaced with fanatical devotion to nebulous ideas and concepts: 40k, D&D, furries, trolling, Lovecraft, WoD. Bodies were mutated into forms more befitting their new ideologies. And perhaps most terrifying of all, they exhibited strange mental powers related to their personal manias and obsessions.

At first, confusion reigned. Bizarre stories of nerds and geeks murdered in seemingly impossible ways cropped up in news stories around the world. Roleplaying groups split in bitter conflicts, entire societies raged in a bitter and disorganized civil war. Eventually though, one group attempted to impose some peace on the others. The Unified Setting, a tenuous amalgam of a multitude of apparently conflicting groups and ideas rose up, and declared a meeting to try and end the petty skirmishes around the world.

>>6646188

Representatives of every faction turned up at a secret meeting, organised to try and hammer out a peace deal, and at first, there was some success. The inclusion of certain clauses and rules irked some, but everyone tried to make concessions for the sake of peace. Even the Furries were given some small say in the future of Ascended /tg/. Peace looked inevitable.

But a malevolent force moved amongst the delegates. Trolls, grown powerful and terrifying now, moved from assembly to assembly, spreading rage and distrust, heightening the already stretched tensions. Eventually, the Troll-lord, a hideous abomination of a man, barely even human now, his trollface a mask of unbridled glee rose above the countless spoke the words that marked the beginning of the true war.

>Sage for Unified Setting.

The troll-magic had worked its dark power well. Tensions and disagreements erupted into open violence and the meeting broke down in the first battle of the War. The survivors fled back to their factions and set about preparing for a war that could only end with the total annihilation of all who would question them.

This is nerd-rage given form. This is madness made real.

This is the Meta-War.

>>6646188
It's like the highlander but with roleplaying systems...

FUND THIS.
DO IT.

>>6646188
>Lovecraft
My side is chosen.

>>6645873
It's why any group design is destined to be awesome.

>>6646196
>Trolls, grown powerful and terrifying now, moved from assembly to assembly, spreading rage and distrust, heightening the already stretched tensions.

Cthulhu-fags were some of the most changed by the Event. Though like with other fa/tg/uys, mundane eyes wouldn't see it, their bodies had warped into strange and alien new designs, and some had begun to manifest powerful psychic abilities. These once-men set about organising themselves into cells of 3, so that they could spread over the world and extend their sphere of influence. The centre of their power, however, lies in Lovecraft County. This is where the head of their order dwells, and he has issued a commandment to his followers. They must find a way of resurrecting Lovecraft, so that he may show them the way. Previous experiments with Essential Saltes have succeeded in raising only the Livliest Awfulness. So now Cthulhu-fags delve deep into forgotten and forbidden lore from all over the world, seeking a way to bring back their dead master to lead them in wiping the Earth clean.

>>6646316
Generally, Lovecraftians are resistant to the attacks of trolls. However, there is one piercing cry that forever remains effective.

>BUT WHY WOULD CTHULHU TURN YOU INSANE? IT'S JUST A SILLY HUMAN WITH A SQUID FOR A HEAD

>>6646324

Sometimes Trolls have to fall back on:

>Dagon is the human name of Cthulhu

>>6646316
>>6646196
>>6646188
Saved for later re-appreciation. If this gets much more awesome, you guys had better archive it for me. Goodnight.

>>6646196
>>6646188
BUT I LOVE TROLLING AND WOD EQUALLY, WHAT HAPPENS TO ME?

>>6646324

So yeah, Trolls.

Trolls never aligned themselves to any faction. They were shunned by everyone, mainly because of how the Event had changed them. Their faces stuck in hideous, grinning troll-faces, they now gained sustenance and power from the rage of others, and use this power in working devious and mind-affecting magics.

They move secretly between all the factions, spreading lies, misquotes and rage, drinking in the rage that results and destroying those who would dare to stand in their way. The Trolls, under the direction of the sinister and reclusive Troll-Lord, now seek a way to introduce their powers into some of the more mainstream and well-known trolls. They wish to spread their madness beyond the limitations of the ascended and into the mundane world.

>>6646415

You'd probably become a WoD specialised troll, infiltrating WoDders and fanning the flames of the already bitter New/Old civil war.

>>6646429
That is what I like doing... b-but I don't do it all the time! Honest! Also, what system would this setting be run on? M&M?

>>6646445

hey, no recursions.

>>6646455
Well, we DO need an ultra system to govern everything by...BRP?

How about 40kfags, DnDfags, drawfags and furfags?

>>6646472
How about we stop using the suffix of -fag?

>>6646477

How about you go jerk off in a fursuit.

We've forgotten Magic: The Gathering and Deadlands folk.

>>6646477

>>6646486
Because, that'd be icky :3c

>>6646492
-fag is silly. If you like it, you're silly, too.

>>6646477
How about no?

>>6646499

>>6646445
I'd do WoD mortals, but with Exalted - style mutations.

>>6646499
protip: 4chan is silly.

>>6646515
It should be something that isn't a faction, though. Which is why I suggested M&M and BRP since those are stand alone systems.

>>6646472

40kfags are by far the most numerous of all the Ascended. They gained powers based on whichever army they collected, Space Marine players grew bigger, and remain encased in metallic power-armour, Ork players gained great strength at the cost of some intellectual functions and so on. Pity the poor Imperial Guard players.

40kfags spend much of their time in internal conflict, mock wars between the various different armies, but whenever they are threatened, especially by their hated enemies, the manly men of Warmachine, they unify together to fight alongside each other.

>>6646524
Protip:NO U!

>>6646488

>forgotten
>one person writing this stuff

Geez, give me time or start writing it yourself.

We can refer to the ascended population of neckbeards collectively as 'Those Faggots'.

>>6646545
Easy there, tiger, I wasn't talking about your writing, I was just talking about the thread in general.

>>6646555
What's wrong with fa/tg/uys or eloquen/tg/entlemen? I mean, it does revolve around /tg/, right?

>>6646445

You'd be shunned. As trolls became more pronounced, most members of your old clique would expel you.

>>6646472

Drawfags are kinda split. Some of them, the older ones, retreated to an isolated fortress in Antarctica. There, along with their dedicated followers, they have left the other ascended fa/tg/uys to their petty squabbles.

Other drawfags, newer ones, have either joined one of the factions or act as some of the few neutral factors in this great war. These travelling minstrels swear allegiance to no game and go wherever their heart takes them.

>>6646571
Sure, but if we're adding the '-fag' suffix to everything... The layman will know us nothing but a group of fags. Simply put.

>>6646580
But, my trolling is of the utmost subtlety. I'm pretty sure my espionage trolling rank is maxed out.

Fuck, am I a min/maxer?

>>6646580

That works. Trolls are like, Deep Ones I guess. At first, they seem to fit in with one faction or another, but as they absorb more and more rage, their troll-faces become more and more pronounced till they cannot keep up the façade any longer and go to join their shunned brethren.

>>6646604
B-but...I like WoD... ;_:

>>6646594
So, are we trying to cover up the fact that we're SUPER NERDS now by pretending to own a gay club? I'm confused.

>>6646619

As time goes by, certain trolls begin to try and break free of the rulership of the Troll-Lord and integrate back into their factions. Their trollfaces never fade though, so it is rare indeed that a redeemed troll is accepted back in normal society. Instead they must return to face the Troll-Lord's infinite mercy.

>>6646635
So, I must wrestle with the troll within me?

Do I troll?

Or do I play the game?

That would surely be a battle of wills, but it'd be worth it. I love WoD. Can't I just troll rogue WoD players?

I need to go. Hopefully this thread will still be here when I get back, I can see it going places.

>>6646594
That's what we are.

Also, I like the troll stuff. However, new idea: Everyone is a troll. Everyone gains power from rage, and everyone gains a more pronounced trollface as they take this power in.

A troll I am lest a troll I become. I don't do it often but I love trolling Exaltedfags. Nothing in this world gives me greater pleasure than to see them raging.

>>6646692
WoD troll here. Best way to do it is to start taking about how weeaboo the game is.

>>6646680
This would make more sense most likely. I mean, c'mon /tg/ can you honestly say you've NEVER trolled?

>>6646708

Every fa/tg/uy has a potential to become a troll, if they give in to their inner trollface. The method or subject of trolling is irrelevant, what matters is the attempt to provoke rage, which becomes an end unto itself as the trollface takes over.

>>6646708
>>6646708
>WoD troll here. Best way to do it is to start taking about how weeaboo the game is.

I KNEW IT. I FUCKING KNEW IT, GOD DAMN IT, MOTHER FUCKER. FUCK YOU, CUNT.

>>6646708

I prefer pointing out that Exalted is the pre-history of the World of Darkness. Their tears are delicious.

The Unified Setting did have cool stuff amidst the sucky ideas. For example, take the Burmecians: so very, very furry. I can understand people rejecting them.

But one of the ideas that came from the Burmecians was that, if their city had a giant "permanent rain" effect (as it did in the game they come from), a reason for that could be that it was actually sitting on top of a giant magic water-powered organ of the gods, essentially creating an enormous stone music-and-water themed dungeon with tunnels and chambers that shifted and changed and had water-powered mechanisms all over the place, with millennia of history in which all manner of creatures and treasures could have found their way inside.

Which is one of the better ideas for a dungeon I've ever heard.

>>6646720
Problem, bro?

>>6646719
So, would trolls work out kind of like how all exalted have that tiny sliver of evil in them? Troll lord would serve as that being who tries to get everyone to give in to their inner trolling.

>>6646737
Works sometimes, but it mostly devolves into a debate with no real butthurt.

>>6646708
No, never.

>trollface.jpg

This is what the game will turn into. The call of the Troll is just to great.

>>6646763
>to

Someone's going to jam touhou into this sideways somehow.

>>6646792
I fail to see how Touhou is /tg/.

Touhoufags are a notorious, virulent brand of weeaboo known for their devastating minmaxed bullet hell attacks and the aura of rage manifested by their presence. Unlike your usual weeaboo, the touhoufag is not content with merely following the ultra leader of GRORIOUS NIPPON. Instead, they draw their power from a higher plane of existence known as Gensokyo, where everyone is an overpowered little girl.

The touhoufag's ultimate goal is to subvert reality itself and turn all others into their kind, a chilling yet tempting proposition for some, exploiting the wish of the average fa/tg/uy to become the little girl. Due to their minmaxed stats, they have powerful physical, trolling and memetic attacks, but are themselves weak to counterattack, as their little girl form gives them -4 STR, and they are also easily trolled by others. Ranged attacks and sage are usually employed against touhou.

>>6646796
Exactly! And yet someone, somewhere, is going to shoehorn it in!
>>6646800

>Implying it hasn't begun.

>>6646863
>implying that impliers may have originated from outside /tg/, however they have since adapted to implying on /tg/

Avatarfags should be embodiments of certain aspects of teej, whose only unifying trait is the aura of rage and hatred they spread as they wander the land.

The things that are /tg/ are Core Classes.

Anything not /tg/ (including Tohou and Dorf fort) are non-core classes. There is some social stigma between the two.

>>6646880
No avatarfags, because that'd mean we'd have to do, namefags and tripfags and anonymous and that isn't fun.

>>6646875
>Implying that it isn't a 4chan general thing.

>>6646851
WAABAAFET

>>6646883

Also, the core classes themselves were published in several different books, making it unclear (and a common subject of low-level trolling) which of the classes are actually core.

>>6646912
>>6646883
I'm okay with this.

All hail the Troll Lord!

There have been rumors of one group of individuals that are nearly impervious to trolling... They go simply by "the Classics". They embody the ideals of good ol' fashioned fun. Card games, board games and the like. It's nearly impossible to make them rage and thus make excellent points of defensive.

>>6646937
Dark Ritual x 3.

>>6646937

Variations exist, of course. For instance, Mornington Crescent is known for sacrificing some defensive ability in favor of movement.

>>6646883
>implying dorf fort isn't core

>>6646952
I fucking hate you and your whole race.

>>6646952
"What? No, we said bring a normal deck of cards. The game is poker. Got it?"

>>6646971

>>6646978
>It's an awesome game, but it doesn't belong on /tg/.

+1 trollface

>>6646978
Your mom doesn't belong on /tg/.

Also royal flush after first deal.

>>6646978

Dorf fort is part of /tg/, like it or not. So are X-COM, Baldur's Gate, and any RPG released by Bioware.

>>6646998

Also, Paradox strategy games. Although I'd say dorf fort is the only one of these discussed commonly enough to get its own class. But then again no one's stopping anyone from writefagging...

>>6646998
Baldur's gate and X-come and any other rogue like, yeah, but dorf fort isn't traditional gamean, bro. I welcome it on this board like many others, but it's not /tg/. Like it or not. It still gets a class, so stop whining.

>>6646993
"Damn."

>>6646978
>Dorft fort
>doesnt belong on /tg/

You know what man? Fuck your shit. Where does Dorf Fort belong then? /v/ I suppose you'll say. /v/, where no one will seriously discuss anything that isnt either Team Fortress 2 or the flavor of the week? No. Fuck that. Dorf Fort belongs in /tg/. It's the only place where it will thrive, where it will be discussed both seriously and with fervor.

>>6647028
+1 rage

>>6647016
roll for trollface

>>6647016

One post isn't whining, broseph.

Anywhoo.

The setting should never make it clear if the fa/tg/uys are all just batshit insane or not.

>>6647028
Bull spite! I've had many a good dorf fort conversations on /v/! They just weren't as good as /tg/'s.

>>6647038
Sorry, I just read it that way. But, I'm in favor of us all be crazy and trying not to be.

>>6647028
>>6647016
We must compromise lest this falls to the Trolls and Greens.

Dorffort falls under the Commander Keen Doctrine and thus, although truly a /v/ideogame, has been given deemed a grea/tg/ame.

Elseworlds.

Quantum Mechanics tells us that all possible outcomes of any event actually occur in alternate universes. What if this were also true of game settings? Of any work of fiction from the oldest myth to the shittiest fanfic?

That's Elseworlds. It's the limbo between settings from which all worlds are accessible (except maybe things Ravenloft which are one-way).

>>6647050
I'm willing to concede to this. Should we say that the issue of it being a core class or not is still hotly debated?

>>6647051
Tell me more.

>>6647062
Put it into a spaltbook class if you must. As long as we're in agreement that DorfFort has a place here.

>>6647062

We could just include dorfs as an outright core class and make blatant references to dorf fortress.

>>6647076
I've been saying that from the start, broseph. I was just disputing whether is should be core or not.

>>6647085
I don't know...

>>6647093

The concept of dorfiness on /tg/ extends far beyond dorf fortress. Dorf fortress just happens to be one possible outlet for it. Although I guess dorfs should be a race, not a class... do we even have races?

>>6647102
Our classes ARE our races. It will just manifest differently.

>>6646800
>Due to their minmaxed stats, they have powerful physical, trolling and memetic attacks

That's what the legion has, danmaku. But Touhoufag, the prime, he has the power of Optimization. The power to look at anything, any object to any person to any tactical formation, and with 30 minutes of examination and talking, can turn it into the best form of what it's supposed to do. Like Shirou's tracing, only improvement. Real terrifying ability.

>but are themselves weak to counterattack, as their little girl form gives them -4 STR

Not seeing what Strength has to do with counterattacking.

>Ranged attacks and sage are usually employed against touhou.

... And suck because of danmaku dodging and Touhoufag being impossible to get a trolling reaction from. If anything, one of his more powerful abilities is to redirect the efforts of trolling, getting others to bite instead of doing it himself.

Homebrewers are small in number and, in general, importance. This doesn't make them weak, however.

Homebrewers are extraordinarily psychic and become bonded to a particular area of land, within which they write the rules. These Brew-Homes are generally not bigger than a couple of square-miles for each home brewer, but within it, the Homebrewer is effectively a God. Magic, ultra-technology, harems of delicious elf-girls, all are possible within a Home-brewer's personal kingdom. Equally, the rules of reality can be bent and sometimes broken, such as gravity being reversed, decreased or eliminated all together.

Homebrewers are both feared and looked down upon by most of the other ascended fa/tg/uys. They are feared for the undeniable power they wield, but looked down upon because very rarely do they attempt to expand their power beyond the realms of their own personal god-hoods. It is said that each Home-brewer has a notebook which is the key to their power, and if this were to be stolen, their power would transfer to the new owner. No-one has ever succeeded however.

sage for homebrew

...sorry, just had to say that

>>6647139
So it's the legion of slavish white knights that pose the problem.

>>6647158
Pretty accurate.

He's not the leader of the Touhoufags, but he keeps alliances with them and the 3e, 4e and WoD crowds. He also has legions of white knights who seem to rush in and white knight when the trolls come knocking.

>>6647102

I'm seeing it more kind of like WoD, in that everyone was once human, now they might be more or less human.

Like, Dorf-Fortress-fags would become more Dorf-like, but still be almost-human. They might gain powers to bend and shape stone, as well as having great crafting abilities. They'd obviously be able to specialise together in different methods of fighting obviously.

Magic-fags were unusual. Shortly after the Event, they disappeared entirely, and it was assumed that they had somehow been destroyed. Several weeks later, they began appearing again, apparently having been travelling between planes, building collections of blue-prints of creatures and spells from other worlds. These weak planeswalkers claimed certain areas of the world that had mostly been unclaimed, and set about changing them to provide them the power needed to cast their new spells.

Like so many others, Magic-fags, should they be united would have such great powers as to pose a serious threat to the rest of the world. As it is, however, they spend much of their time battling with each other in small proxy wars, as well as spending time "travelling between planes" learning of new and exciting things to summon.

>>6647173
So, you want to go for a template approach? That'd be nice and simple.

>>6647171
Excuse me, WoD/troll here. I respect Tohoufags knowledge of the games, but I do NOT approve of Tohou in general. I'm sure there are more like me.

>>6647214
That sounds bad ass.

>>6647148
I dunno, the homebrewers on /tg/ are primarily collaborative. Like, my ideas tend to be very infrequent, but I kick ass at elaborating on other people's ideas.

How about add:
When multiple Homebrewers share a Brew-home, it expands in size, and the more homebrewers share, the greater their combined power grows. While the brew-home of a single homebrewer warps only slightly and over long periods of time, the Brew-homes of groups can be truly alien landscapes, with mountains jutting up over the course of a mere weekend.

>>6647255

That works better. Seconded.

>>6647173
>Like, Dorf-Fortress-fags would become more Dorf-like, but still be almost-human. They might gain powers to bend and shape stone, as well as having great crafting abilities. They'd obviously be able to specialise together in different methods of fighting obviously.
It also only requires one Dorf to move a single object, regardless of size and composition. An iron bed is no more a challenge than a balsa wood chair.

>>6647222

>I do NOT approve of Tohou in general. I'm sure there are more like me.

I do not approve of those who send forth purely Touhou-related, /tg/-unrelated posts on this board. Ask me to clarify something with regards to the series and I shall oblige and provide answers, but those who, say, create Touhou threads on this board or who come into a thread screaming something inane along the lines of "CHEEEEN" are unwelcome to my mind. Those people of which I speak can saunter off to /jp/.

The Quest, depending on who you hear it from, is either a psychically implanted curse, mental sickness, a divine stroke of genius or a vain attempt to become important.

Every now and then, someone from one of the factions will begin to tell a story, demanding input from those around him. The power of The Quest is such that people will often be compelled to reply, no matter their opinion of the story. This will continue either until the story's end, or until the Quest-teller is stopped. Sometimes this happens because the Quest-teller forgets to eat, so caught up is he in his story, sometimes he is expelled by those unaffected by the Quest's power. These exiled Quest-tellers have begun to make a new home for themselves away from those who might question them, and people who were touched by Quests in the past have begun to trickle there to take part in them once again.

>>6647317
Is that you Touhou? God, you are very cool-headed about it.

>>6647424
That is creepy and awesome.

So, if this were to actually happen, I would imagine that there would also be regular humans in the mix, friends and family of the people who fell into the coma, and concerned people worried about the safety of the world. Would they hunt the altered /tg/ goers, or try to redeem them?

>>6647519
>Implying /tg/ has friends or families.

>>6647317
Hey, bro. I was pondering making Frekazoid in WoD. What template would work best for him?

>>6647519

I'm not sure which way to take this. When I first suggested it, I had visions of a secret underworld of fa/tg/uys, fighting for supremacy, while the rest of humanity carried on regardless.

However, when you've got Magic-fags throwing around fireballs and summoning massive giants, and 40kfags stomping about in power armour, it's kinda hard to keep that a secret. So maybe the rest of humanity would retreat to one part of the world leaving the superpowered fa/tg/uys to war over the rest. Guns would still hurt us, I'd imagine, so they'd mostly be left alone. Some of the sneakier factions, like the Lovecraftians, would still try and infiltrate the ordinary humans, if only to try and look for the secret way to resurrect HPL.

Alternatively, it's all just in the fa/tg/uys' heads. And somehow they don't question how Terminators can fight Mi-Go and not have anyone wonder what the hell is going on.

>>6647566
>Alternatively, it's all just in the fa/tg/uys' heads. And somehow they don't question how Terminators can fight Mi-Go and not have anyone wonder what the hell is going on.

I like that. Also, what if all fa/tg/uys were just rounded up and put in Hawaii with a giant dome put over it? It's outlandish, but sounds cool.

>>6647596
Only one person would have been able to make that happen.

The Troll Lord.

You see, when the change first took hold, the Troll Lord was gifted with immense power for some reason. And in one of his ultimate trolling moves, he moved all the ascended to Hawaii and trapped them there. He then, started to slumber. People say that when he wakes, he will be as powerful as he once was. However, he has since woken up twice to his followers dark rituals only to say, "LOL I TROLL U" and return to rest.

I'm thinking we could fit this all within the same WoD template. Our morality is trollface. We all get nerdrage as an ability. And most other things are dependent on class. I'm thinking in terms of appearance, we can be akin to changelings. We look different to each other, but "normal" to others. What we see as a Space Marine standing tall and proud with a chainsword, others see as a cosplayer.

>>6648018
I could roll with that, but not too many people on /tg/ are crazy about the Storyteller System.

>>6648018
"trolling: Upon inciting nerdrage in another, you get 9-again on all rolls until the end of the scene."Of course, it's a breaking point.

"nerdrage: Upon hearing an opinion which you believe to be fundamentally wrong, roll Wits+Composure. Upon failing to do so, you must endeavor to change the mind of the person who made this statement. All social rolls, however, are at a -2 penalty."

Is this archived yet?

>>6648145
You can check as easy as any of us. But yes.

>>6648278
But I am lazy...In fact, I'm going to turn in now. Night guys.

>>6645341

AS GOOD AS PLANESCAPE

>>6648033

The way I see it, WoD-style is the best I can think of for the way I see this setting going.

However, I think it's a bit silly in a setting that parodies /tg/'s factionalism and the tendency towards WRONGBADFUN to make a big deal about the crunch. This could work with WoD, or M&M or BRP or whatever system you want really.

>>6648145

Yup, vote that shit up.

>>6650955
We have to pick a setting to be able to write stats for it, you arse.

>>6651183
I don't understand what /tg/'s obsession is with statting out and giving crunch to their original content. People are obviously more excited about and willing to do fluff, so just keep it at that to inspire GMs to do whatever they like with the setting.

I've always wanted to play in a Senshi: The Merchandising campaign.

>>6651211
You can't actually use it without crunch.

>>6651331
So it's impossible to make a couple adaptations to whatever system your group uses or likes?

>>6651211
that should be left to the person using the setting, otherwise we're going to spend forever debating which system to use

>>6651331

If you're going to be running a game, I don't think it's a massive step up in effort to have to write down some stats as well as deciding roughly what's going to happen.

Besides, we're not saying you shouldn't write stats down or indeed share them out. We're just saying it shouldn't be a central concern, and if this gets an article on 1d4chan, we shouldn't say

>Here is the system you must use if you're running this game

>>6651239
Fuck yes! Magi-Nation

>>6651351
You don't think that basically writing a whole WoD book is a massive step up in effort? Seriously?
