Dresden Files is awesome.

Also, I'll bump with bitches.

Just run nWoD. MnM scares off newbies like Batman scares small children.

I'm not usually the mai waifu type but damn I would do death.

>>8199484
I know nothing about nWoD, have no books, and I find the M&M to be a wonderfully simple and customizable system. It'll be in M&M, regardless of how some of 4chan dislikes it.

Plot idea?

The Entropy Engine looks like a newspaper-scale printing press fucked a steel mill. It fills a basement 100 meters long with its clattering and grinding, the rumbling so loud the dust dances on the shaking cement floor. It runs on the destruction of beauty; you can keep it purring along with flowers and quartz crystals, but if you wanna fire it up and get some use out of it, you gotta feed in works of art, do serious damage to a landscape while branded by it, or, easy way, toss in a pretty young woman. The women don't die, but they don't live, either. They come out marred, broken, unspeaking, and they tend to the machine.

The Entropy Engine can give you what other people have, although the transfer is always lossy. Designate two rich people; they fall into ruin, you become as rich as one of them was. You want a harem of women obsessed with you? Just find two happy marriages to break for each one you want. Power, wisdom? They're yours. And if the world is lessened a little by each transaction, what do you care?

Two for one. The price is high, but you're not the one who pays.

Aw. That's very nice of you, OP. Also, who doesn't enjoy The Dresden Files?

I've never played M&M (I have no one to play with) but if you're dealing with a group of inexperienced, female gamers, play up the roleplaying aspect more than combat. They'll probably show more interest in inter-character relationships than fighting.

>>8199566
Wow. You just made my first arc.

>>8199566

That is.... astonishingly neat.

>>8199566
You sir are fantastic and consider this stolen. Was it OC?

>>8199807

Eh, just thought it up. If anyone else's done something similar, it's just coincidence.

>>8199864
It's something that I'm going to use in at least 1 RL game and if you weren't adverse to it, possibly in a /tg/ quest.

Give me a bit and I'll work on answering your OP concerns.

>>8199619
Unless they're like every roleplayer I've met personally (including females) and prefer over-the-top shit. =D

>>8199695
I see her so cute, yet so sad and lonely.

This is my next hunter; the Hikkihunter.

Wouldn't have posted it as a suggestion if I didn't hope people would use it.

But that's beside the point. The point is that the world is a dream that God was having. But he woke up in 1834. Luckily, some clued-in people saw it coming, and managed to set up a backup system using the touched. You know, people with a little of the blood divine. Usually not straight from the creator; we're talking people whose great-great-etc. grandman was raped by a big old swan that happened to be Zeus, or some schoolteacher in Iceland who has no idea that her grandma once cheated on her grandpa with a certain charming one-eyed traveller.

Anyway, these folk dream the world, in shifts. As long as one of em's asleep at any given moment, everything's groovy, the dirtball keeps turning. But starting last year, someone's been grabbing them. We were down to two dozen at that point, which is already emergency numbers. Now, I don't know. Communications are shot to hell, I haven't heard from HQ in a month, and I'm gutshot. So. This is Claire. Say hi, Claire. Aww, don't be like that. I ain't gonna die. She's... a little frazzled, since her parents went down when the longmen hit the farming commune in Arizona. Place was supposed to be safe. And now her favorite "uncle" is gutshot. Fantastic.

Anyway. Her shift is 1 to 7 Eastern Standard. She can sleep more than that, but make sure she doesn't sleep less. I'm not sure if anyone else is still doubling her shift. Um. No alcohol, no sleeping pills; you don't dream right when you're on those. If you absolutely gotta, you can use some of these. Two pills, max. Don't be surprised if the walls melt a little.

Ok. You got this? Tell me you got this.

Oh, you're good.

>>8200027
Zatanna?

Yep

>>8200230
More, sir, please.

>>8200239
DOT EMPEG!

>>8200230
ALSO STOLEN

MORE AWESOME IDEAS?

>>8200230
longmen?

Ok, fine, one last bit, but you didn't hear this from me.

There's a city in North Carolina that no one remembers. St. Christopher. Near as I can figure, it was about the size of Kansas City. There's nothing about it online. No one knows the name. You gotta go to hard copies of newspapers, pre-1985. Nothing published there, of course, although I saw a copy of a 1977 New York Times that had an article reprinted from the "St. Christopher Crier." I don't know much about it, really. Odd mentions, here and there. There was a fire in a cotton warehouse there, in '79. They sent a high-jumper to the Munich Olympics. They had a University. Not Ivy League, but pretty good. Good psychology department, got a couple big-name proffs doing research there on schizophrenia, starting in '84.

I mention this because one of your PCs, he grew up there. Ask him. He'll remember his parents, his school. He'll remember growing up. But he won't remember where.

The city's still there. I hear they're building something.

>>8200714
Seriously, why aren't YOU writing RPG books? This stuff is gold. Far, far better than the per-word crap that's on shelves, and better than a lot of the stuff that has heart and care put into it.

Any time you want to share stuff with /tg/ like this, I'll appreciate it.

>>8200593

Look like you took a normal person and stretched him about 15%, vertically. They're all white, kinda Scandanavian-looking. Buddy of mine thought they were Svartalfar, but that's gotta be bullshit.

They don't go into shock, I know that much. You shoot one, he just stares at you like he's a little confused, and then he comes at you with one of those collapsible police batons. Strong bastards.

If all writefags wrote like this, I would be a happy man.

This thread pleases Thulsa Doom.

Can you just make an awesome plot ideas thread and get it rolling with awesome things like this? You are a PRO, sir.

Clearly, these plot ideas are all connected.

The Longmen are gathering the Dreamers in St. Christopher to feed them into the Entropy Engine. If you add up all the little fragments of divinity in all of them and divide by half, that's probably still enough power to grant the engine's master full godhood and allow him to create a universe for himself when this one winks out because the dreamers stopped dreaming. It'll just be a drab, gray universe, half as good as this one, another step towards final entropic death.

Maybe.

>>8201205

Oh, and I figured out where the Longmen came from, too. The guy, probably one of the patients being studied at the university, wanted to make his hallucinations real. That's the longterm goal here, creating his world. But first he had to create the servants he saw, to help him carry out the plan. He needed to be able to make people, so he used the Entropy Engine on a lot, really quite a lot, of pregnant women. And then his tall, handsome friends were real.

Her first plan was to sacrafice every second born child in China and then pollute the water supply of Bei Jing with alchemical potion.
