You are Captain Kusajishi Riku, leader of the Ninth Division of the Seireitei Court Guard, and you've had a long couple of days.

Three days ago, you and Yoruichi finally had your long-awaited showdown with Captain Aizen. The battle was intense, and quite honestly you were losing ground to your opponent before being rudely interrupted by an arrancar of massive power and unknown origin. He called himself “Arturo”, and his arrival seemed to provide Aizen with an option for an immediate and clean exit.

He's left the Seireitei in chaos, with the revelation of his treachery and the murder of the Central 46 leaving the no real semblance of a centralized authority beyond the military rule of the remaining Captains over their respective Divisions. For now that seems to be keeping the peace, but whether things can remain this way indefinitely is something you just can't say for sure.

For now you're trying to relax for the first time since that day, having drawn water for a hot bath. But fate it seems has conspired against you. With a loud crash, someone kicks in the door to your bathroom and starts shouting.

Anybody paint anything lately? Shifting Loyalties campaigns? TTB fatemasters who need help interpreting destiny?

I'm getting my Lucius box (+riflemen and beckoners) assembled this weekend, gonna play against my friends new Justice crew. Any advice on how to make him see how fun the game is? Stuff I should leave out for his first game(s)?

Anime fans did something wonderfully intelligent, something fa/tg/uys could learn from.

There's hundreds of ways to categorize anime, and one of the most useful for a fan is Type A and Type B. Originating from Japan's strange practice of assigning personality traits to blood types, the "nicest" way to explain the difference between these two types is that Type A anime is story driven, while Type B is more character driven.

In practice, however, Type A tends to refer to just well-written anime, while Type B is moeblob, borderline hentai, or otherwise series where the plot or any strings of logic don't really matter.

This largely stems from Blood Type A personality being "responsible" while Blood Type B is "irresponsible", and while these labels originally were applied in an attempt to explain the difference between the more mainstream (type A) titles and the late-night airing (type B) anime, it serves as a functional shorthand for "series you can recommend to anyone" and "guilty pleasures."

You can tell just about anyone that Planetes is a good series, even people who profess they are not fans of anime. It's well written, with interesting characters that you don't necessarily need to like in order to appreciate, all in a well designed setting complete with a compelling narrative.

However, on the other side of the Space spectrum, you have to be far more reserved when recommending Galaxy Angel, since that show really depends on whether or not you latch onto one or more of the characters in order to enjoy it. When one of those bizarre, blanketly-anime-hating people are looking for an easy target to say "All anime is terrible", they can easily point to Galaxy Angel and just say "ugh" and "bleh" whenever someone does something adorable.

How do you run a decent military campaign where the PCs aren't special forces, paras, or someone else who has an excuse to bugger off from the rest of their unit every session?

Hear ye, hear ye. I hereby call to order this meeting of the most illustrious Mages' Guild! A new year is upon us and many things may occur. Tentacle monster attacks, drow invasions, the moon being blown up again, Tentacle monster attacks- you get the point. So we must remember to stay sharp and look out for all dangers. This is why I am instructing all departments to hunt down all vile monsters that dare lurk in the corners of rooms while we-Yeah, what is this?
I've just been informed that this is offensive to those that identify as monsters. Well, normally I would throw fireballs at that problem until it goes away, but I've made a New Years resolution to come up with more creative ways to inflict punishment, so now we have three things to do. Hunt monsters, yell at monsters until they cry, and come up with a way for me to get back at people who hand me notes in the middle of a briefing.

Welcome to the Mages' Guild. Pick a name and join in! Conflicts are resolved with d20s when needed, or with playing it out. When the thread dies on /tg/, we keep it going on archive.4plebs For additional resources, please visit http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Mage%27s_guild

Is a croissant the katana of breads?

>In this quest you play as a "DM" kind of character, instead of a "Player".

You're... Pretty much omnipotent. You're the "Storyteller". Since forever, you've been the world itself, building it on the go for some special sentient beings - Heroes - to inhabit, explore and exist. That was your purpose, your passion. To compose and make a poetic, grandiose environment for the Heroes. You weren't perfect though - sometimes, you did make this and that mistake, but it was certainly nothing you couldn't fix with some guile and narrative cunning.

However, this time, you've messed up big time. Keiko, one of your heroes, was now in possession of a God Blade - The Infinitos 12. It was sword that was at par with your own divine power. She wasn't supposed to have that! You must've made a horrible oversight! Gah. What a mistake!

Now, you couldn't just poof it out of her hands. But how you wish you could. You have to be more subtle than that - you had to orchestrate her life and events in a convincing, satisfying, "story-told" way. Simply causing a "A big rock falls, and she dies" event would mean your *own* demise. Making a good story is what keeps you *alive*.

You kinda haven't paid her much attention until now, given how unremarkable of an adventurer she was, however, you could vaguely remember the kind of story line you had set out for her.

>You've gone with the stereotypical, playing it safe. You had made a story for her to go to a dungeon and retrieve a magical artifact for a wizard, as a quest. She got the sword as a reward for completing it.
>Your story for her so far has been tragic and gritty. She had fought in a war, and one of her companions had died - but he had left her his family's heirloom. It happened to be the sword.
>Her story has been fairly light-hearted until now. She had won the sword as a prize in a silly bet, and at first everyone believed it just to be trash. But it happened to be the Infinitos.

>Write in.
