All campaigns should end with a wedding

The girl on the left has pointed ears!

Why aren't the Sisters purging her!

That's heresy user, HERESY!!!

Maybe if you accentuated your womanly charms rather than just hope into murder?

Then you and can be happy together.

My last campaign ended with one, and it looks like this campaign will too, assuming they don't die next session.

I'm going to have to disagree.

Its a good idea. Shakespeare liked to end a lot of his comedies with weddings because it promises good things happening in the future past the campaign. As you like it. The Tempest, Merchant of Venice, etc.

It also gives a chance for characters met throughout the campaign to show up as wedding guests, and the wedding gifts from them can be either last minute character rewards or cute things like the baker the party saved from monsters at the start of the campaign making the wedding cake.

That sort of thing sounds like it'd require a set of romantically attracted NPCs who help the players but can't seem to spit out their obvious attraction over the course of the campaign. At least until the victory adrenaline sets in- then they basically jump each other's bones.

I don't think that would work. I appreciate your suggestion but I've got it under control.

What about a beach episode?

No.

Bath house episodes are better.

Forces everyone to be naked, too.

Normally I'd call Magical Realm, but it could work for people who actually know each other.

All marriages should end with a kidnapping.

All kidnappings should end in sex

>All campaigns should end with ascension to godhood (metaphorically at least)
Fixed.
Apotheosis is the journey of every story and culmination of every plot. Every character is Jesus.

All sex should end in betrayal.

All betrayal should end in retribution.

My barbarian is on the verge of marrying a civilized prince for political power.

Admittedly, he's nice, she likes him, they've already banged, cool. But it feels kind of hollow. She swore an oath of vengeance and right now she needs both peoples to stop fucking around (heh) and face the common foe. Interclan marriage is a traditional way of sealing alliances, treaties, or what have you. But it still feels kind of hollow and means she'll never finally get to go fool around with firstboy.

>Campaign ends with player sacrificng themself by marrying the BBEG and saving the world

Gave me hurt feelings for awhile.

Sounds like a good end to me.

>Normally I'd call Magical Realm

It's called history, read a book

Why does she care about firstboy? Your first time tends to suck and you usually wind up hating the one who did it.

Whose firstboy, and did he get cucked when you slept with the prince?

Was it just a lonely elf BBEG , or did your waifu marry the bad guy?

Not for the player character, he spent the rest of supposed eternity wed to a cthulu eldritch horror and trapped in its nightmare (and also disturbingly magical) realm.

I feel like this is less of an ending and more of a whole story.

I think you may have had an uncommonly bad first time.

What? Where you raped?

The first time is admitedly never great, but if you keep doing it with that same firstboy several times you'll always have a softspot in your heart and vagfor him

It's called an Epilogue, and occasionally a Prologue

It's an epilong, used to prolong.

You're correct about backstory-firstboy. However, I'm referring to the first guy in-camapign/on-screen rather than first guy ever.

He was a merchant prince in a foreign land. For ~reasons~ that I could go into at length, they kinda hit it off when they first met (well, when they second met) and she basically went, "Wow, he's SO wealthy. And nobody's just TAKING his wealth from him. He must be a TOTAL badass."

Then plot and obligations wound up splitting them up. Party travels a lot, left merchant-prince-land to go do stuff, didn't get a chance to see him next time she was back (in a hurry) etc etc.

But she was much younger and less worldly back then. After all, now she's a princess.

Fuck power, go for making her happy and getting more levels to kill anyone who bothers them.

Dude, I'm not illiterate. It's just that having characters discussing things in the nude tends to get weird, especially if it's somehow a mixed bath.

>Fuck power, go for making her happy and getting more levels to kill anyone who bothers them.
You don't fucking abandon an oath of vengeance. Affairs of man and god are distant second to vengeance.

All stories should end in a beginning.

>But she was much younger and less worldly back then. After all, now she's a princess.

I'd chalk it up on your barbarian-girl getting nostalgic of the halcyon days of her youth rather than the merchant somehow being a better lover than the prince.

In other words, something totally normal. Just get her gagging on that noble dick on their wedding night and she'll learn to love her prince as much as she did the merchant.

It's only weird nowadays in puritan America/Japan. Non-sexual nudity is much more common in Europe and throughout history.

It was like, a year ago, but that's basically doubled her time spent in civilized societies, not raiding and plundering. Or at least, only a little.

Also merchant prince had a tail, which she considers a masculine trait. She was busy mocking the species we met whose females had tails while we were travelling in their lands.
Judgmental condescension and derision of other cultures is fun!

The Germans still have mixed sexes public bath houses.

>It's not creepy if the Germans are doing it!
I mean, I agree that his magical-realm-o-meter is off, but come on, that's the best defense you have?

Touche.

Some stories start with a wedding.

Well, not yours. And maybe you think you'd be a better Groom for her than he'd ever be. And MAYBE things get a LITTLE out of hand, and you kill your brother to show his bride-to-be that you're the one she should truly love. And I guess, maybe, sometimes that bride-to-be of yours throws herself from your castle walls when she sees you drink the blood of your familicide. And then sometimes, you become a reflection of the monster that's always been inside you, and your story never ends.

But really, isn't that how the best stories begin?

>implying filthy xenos could ever infiltrate the glorious Imperium of Mankind

You worry too much, user. That could never happen.

Because it's not treacherous Eldar, it's a nice peaceful elf

Indeed Guardsmen, such an trickery is surely beyond the fickle ways of xenos.

I'm still suspicious

All weddings should end with a campaign.

The Ebon Dragon approves of this statement.

Oh then go for the noble. Never race mix.

If you're trying to be yandere, you're doing it right.

Heh, my last campaign (has currently) ended in a wedding, which resulted in a campaign.

Due to life being a bitch and most of us hating Roll20/Maptools, we only play once or twice a year. So, here's how our last session ended.

After more than five in-game years, my Demon Hunter finally worked up the courage to confess his love to the kingdom's High Inquisitor, an NPC who'd been our staunch (and oftentimes only) political ally. Natural, he felt the same way, and we began preparing for the wedding.

Since both my PC, and the Inquisitor were fairly significant figures in the nation, and in the current crusade, the wedding was attended by the party, damn near the entire high command, and the Queen. About halfway through the service, a Balor broke through the roof, grabbed my husband, and flew off. At which point, all hell broke loose.

Unable to pass up such a tempting target, a whole host of demons and their mortal thralls attacked in the middle of the service. Between the PCs, the queen (who was a 16th level paladin), and the numerous divine casters in attendance, the demons were quickly dispatched. Distraught at the loss of his fiancee, my PC begged the queen for the troops necessary to track down the Balor, and rescue the Inquisitor. She was more than happy to oblige.

Thus began the Seventh Crusade.

This is actually the first place I went to as well.
Specifically "Guess that makes all campaigns comedies"

I don't think you could be more obtuse if you tried.

>wedding
>birth
>bath house episode

I ran a campaign that had all three of these things occur. Zero magical realm happened, even though there was full-frontal male elf nudity.

There's nothing crazy about love, user.

Gay wedding and zombie apocalypse.

You trying to make your campaign suck?

I'm rooting for you.
Optionally, woof jumps the journal. Shadow watches though a keyhole like a fat fujo she is.

That's taking starting from level 1 a bit far, user. How many adventures can you have in the womb?

Unless, of course, you're a half-fiend or something...

>How many adventures can you have in the womb?
That's a terrible way to phrase it.

>STILL no ttrpg with hip size for stat

Where's that user who was working on wakfu rpg? ;__;

Cause and effect?

A fiend wannabe living in - excuse me, banished from - a disintegrating demiplane has found love? That's just adorable.

Am I the only one who thinks Exalted tries too hard to be edgy, and just ends up being ridiculous?

What's the point in a stat is everybody has it at max?

>wearing the bowtie on his beard

It's a story of a greentext. GM was running a game where the PCs were suppoused to stop an evil lich from raising an army of the dead to destroy the kingdom but when they found out that gay marriage wasn't legal in the country (mainly due to marriage being a political tool about popping out heirs) the players decided to start a revolution and overthrow the kingdom's government. Just as they were signing the law allowing gay marriage into effect, the lich invaded cause he had zero opposition to his plans
well it's not like you could see it otherwise. And the only outfit he has where you can't see his beard is kinda a wanted criminal. Sort of

Don't spoil the current MtG storyline for me!

Don't worry, user. At least I caught the reference.

Gm had passingly mentioned that of that particular miscegenation, barbarian's dragon bloodline breeds true.

And prince is a different flavor of dragon blood, so either way...

Or a Funeral.

Classic Shakespeare rules.

Sounds like the barbarian's already in deep with the prince anyway..

Do you actually want her to end up happy with the prince? She might as well accept the past's the past and fall for her new husband.

I think the point is to try to be ridiculous and it then ends up being edgy in places.

That's because European society generally has fewer hangups about nudity than America.

In l5r, the entire adventure is the wedding and all the courtly shenanigans that come with it!

I was running World Wide Wrestling, the one based on Apocalypse World, and one of the players was playing a drug addict who fell in love hard with a heel character.

Final session of the campaign comes and it's royal rumble time. The last two opponents are him and the girl by dint of rolls. Player knew he had to take his chance.

He pulls the mic, announces how he's turning over a new leaf and giving up the drugs to train and be her lucha partner in a mix-gender tag team. Then steps over the top rope to give her the win.

I ask a player what does the NPC do and she pulls him back into the ring and tells him to do it right. So he drops to knee and proposes. Session and campaign ends with Macho man/Elizabeth style marriage in the middle of the ring.

That sounds like a great game.

All campaigns should cycles of guilt

>Campaign ends with the knight marrying the princess
>The though, stonefaced, stoic paladin cries bitch tears
>The tall barbarian woman catches the bouquet and pulls the waifish, bullied healer closer by his waist
>The wizard is moping in a corner, mumbling something abou thow his "superior intellect" puts him above such "base needs" as affection and social contact
>He is joined in his moping by the princess' socially awkward cousin

>what are these "jokes" to which you humans refer

True love is no joke.

Everyone getting someone is the cutest thing ever.

Nobody should be alone, unless the player makes it directly clear they don't want a person, even if it's implied at the last session they find someone.

10/10, would standing ovation

>>The wizard is moping in a corner, mumbling something abou thow his "superior intellect" puts him above such "base needs" as affection and social contact

I'm scared of commitment to marriage and I want her to have more time to free-love around. She's a barbarian after all, she ought to be able to have her fun with anyone who meets her not insignificant standards, wherever she may roam.

Flavor-wise, her father's second marriage to her step-mother was a (rather pleasant) marriage of alliance between two tribes. The idea is present and normalized in her mind, but still, the idea of marriage as opposed to just shacking up with a rival house's prince for funsies while she's in the country purely for political reasons (made conceivable because they like each other already, ie, she has any reason at all to think he'd say yes) seems a little... well, not happily ever after, you know?

Firstboy was also on that track, a powerful local in a foreign land who happened to catch her interest and she might have been happy to take it further, but they got separated by plot and circumstances even though he remembered and waited on her for quite a while, still is at the moment, but the GM just won't give me a fucking break to stop and head back and he's getting slowly coaxed into a marriage too

bimp

>but the GM just won't give me a fucking break to stop and head back and he's getting slowly coaxed into a marriage too
That sounds like he's building a challenge for you to overcome.
Don't pussyfoot around.

>the waifish, bullied healer closer by his waist
>Bullied healer

Healer here
Do not want

Abuse is special if it's spousal though!

> Party of Heroes

> Ignores the crying from the healer because the Barbarian is such a fun guy, he couldn't be abusing her, she's just overly emotional.

Reminder: most domestic abuse cases are just two people trying to work something out, so mind your own business and keep walking, I don't care what you think you saw.

Don't you mean begin?

So, was it your mother or your father who was the abuser?

Does your sarcasm meter explode when the level of obviousness goes too high?
