The setting is subtly being altered into a cheesecake 80s setting by a trickster god

Or hell even not a fantasy but generic system. I'd personally just roll with M&M. PL from 6 to 8.

What's wrong, afraid that tight abs and ripped biceps will appeal to your subconcious desire to suck dick?

So essentially Dark Sun?

There's so much more to Dark Sun than just pulp fantasy action, though. Psionics, cannibal halflings, elemental clerics, thri-keen. That's why it Best Setting™.

If you want to ask what people think of something, why do you feel the need to couch it in such an idiotic question?

Oh no doubt, but the aesthetics were pretty pulp retro in general. It's probably the last (A)D&D game which embraced the whacky fantasy sword&sorcery tradition from the 70s versions of the game.

Lolthacise will conquer the surface world!

I quite liked Dark Sun, it took a while for it to really get any kind of 'cult' status with gamers and it was a pretty large production for the time. Big box, lots of maps, details, heaps of new careers, very different classes, species etc. Which is no real consolation for TSR which was at the time starting to sink like fat chicks in a pool full of chocolate cake and seemingly couldn't do anything right no matter how much money they threw at stuff.
Heck, the whole Forgotten Realms franchise would have been a fortune in production costs.

Might as well have a dick under that loincloth for all the muscle she has you flaming homo.

>stop or not?
Eh. Probably make things interesting again.
>how do they react to their new look
Well she already looked like that to begin with.

Dark Sun was a huge production and a very big release at the time, yeah. It was a lot more slick and production values were higher than on Spelljammer (the previous new 2nd ed setting) and it had a lot clearer ideas for what it wanted to be. Spelljammer was very directionless in its themes and style, Dark Sun and the games that came out after it (Planescape, Birthright, Red Steel etc) all had a tight focus.

At the time TSR was already feeling the competition eat into its profits. Both from external competitors such as video games where computer RPGS were on the rise since the late 80s and from competiting games. White Wolf brought about a big reneissance in the RPG industry when it came out with their marketing about being fully "narrative driven" and not bogged down by dice rolls and antiquated ideas of morality. TSR responded with some very boneheaded decisions which ended up driving them further into the ground. Releasing a huge amount of settings and trying to support them all at once was a HUGE mistake, one WotC learned never to repeat. The (A)D&D shelves in game stores became scattered collections of largely incompatible products marketed towards niche fanbases. And meanwhile TSR invested in fad games and vanity projects which went nowhere. Their policy to stop crediting creators also drove a lot of people to look elsewhere for employment, even for smaller name companies. And towards the end, they tried pitifully to compete against Magic the Gathering and their funds were so depleted that creators were not even getting paid.

Great products put out, but the company was a mess due to management being incompetent.

>not wanting to reproduce with a jacked lady so your children are genetically inclined to be fucking huge

Come on, fatass you're dragging the rest of humanity down.

>the setting is subtly being altered into a cheesecake 80s setting
"Altered"?

>Might as well have a dick under that loincloth
Wait... is that an option?

I try and help the crazy bastard. Though I'm playing Dark Heresy, so I'm not sure how my character would like it but I know I'd be on board.

Yep, Spelljammer was an area they probably should have looked at a lot more holistically to bridge gaps between settings and integrate a lot more of their product lines together. Technically I guess it did- it just did it quite badly!

WW games was a real nice change of pace for a lot of us burned out by arseloads of D20 dice rolling, fairly flawed system in a lot of ways, but as a 'game feel' and was well produced for not a lot of money- like Shadowrun in its various incarnations, managed to grab a hold and choke the shit out of its relative settings for all they where worth.
TSR... made Ravenloft, which was fairly fucking awful and ironically ended up in WW hands at some point, then someone else and I dunno where it is now. Not like anyone cares either in all likelihood

Not sure if its rumour or true, but I think TSR had the chance to jump on the MTG card crack train and decided it was bullshit. :)

Does that actually alter anything other than aesthetics? Seeing as this is a trickster god we're talking about, it's probably one of the least damaging things he can occupy his time with, so it's best not to interfere.

I honestly want to "breed" with a tall bitch just so I can keep my kids out of sports and piss off high school basketball coaches.

Well, there are relatively benign trickster gods in different settings. But for all we know this scheme is just testing the waters for something more fucked up like some Gor-tier magical realm skimpy women slaves shit.

If you'd turn down something like this, I'm pretty sure you're the one who's gay.

I love it when a fa/tg/uy gets to urge to post some barely SFW pic and tries to come up with a way of making it "relevant" to the board without admitting to just being horny. It always makes for the most original thread openers.

Fatty. Fatty McFatterton of Fattslvania.

Only if he makes sure that I HAVE THE POWER

What if the setting is already just that?

>that art

user why

I make a /d/eal with the lewdest god in setting, other than the trickster, and I crank that shit up to counter troll the troll. I make sure I end up enhanced as part of the deal.

what's wrong with it?

is that a giant dipaper?

Finally! a chance to use this image.
Also kill yourself.

Kill yourself.

>chainmail bikini
>barely legal
>implying there's anything
>about 80s cheesecake fantasy
>that isn't awesome

I love it when some closeted, Veeky Forums Dr Phil starts projecting.

It's a normal-sized diaper.

We get it, you prefer muscular men.

This is not a problem.

Go here. Literally the general thread for games of this style.

> sharing your magical realm

this is the reason why nobody likes diaper fetishists

>Do a lot of coke and vote for Ronald Reagan!
MST3K reference, nice

My character is an old man. What would he look like?

I'm already trying for retro 80s style, so I guess this is literally the worst trickster god known to mankind

No that's not the actual reason.
The reason is because the fetish disgusts you. Don't pretend otherwise.

>Do you stop it or let it happen?
Let it happen, I like the 80s fantasy setting aesthetic

>How does your character react to his/her new look?
Probably not much changes, not really the heroic male or female look that gets emphasized in that art the rest of the party becomes some pretty nice eyecandy though

Dang she's a cutie.

As to OP's question, I think it'd be a cool plotline if treated as an IC change. Imagine all the races that would start disappearing because they weren't thought of until the 90s, or how hairstyles would all change and clothing would begin to look brighter but more classically medieval.

I'd stop it, but in character, not by punching the GM in the face and calling him a faggot. It depends on my character, but my tomboyish paladin would not like looking softer, while my bard might love looking more classically handsome.

>Muscular Amazon
>Disgusting
You have shit tastes

And make all the women in the setting hot and muscular?
Sign me up

>Art
No,

My body is ready

...

...

Someone mentioned muscular men

Don't worry, there are also hot women

That God seems like a nice guy, would drink beer with.

>More than 1000 Ogres

Yeah, that's what german ogres looked like during the 80s.

The main artist had a raging boner for glorious mustaches

Since then the style has become more... down to earth? Realistic?

That doesn't stop them from showing some skin tho: imgur.com/a/GjPeo

Embrace it. With 80s metal screaming your arrival!

It never stopped looking like this as far as I'm concerned.

I'd rather every fantasy character be a bug eyed animu girl than comic book shit or tumblr tier illustrations.

What new look? Every proper disciple of the Dragonslayer should look like that!

Glam-metal Gandalf.

What's the matter, not strait enough for a Girl's Dick? god damn your gay

it better be an option

...

That would be totally radical, dude.

Clyde Caldwell was the bossest of bosses. Fifty years from now he will be considered a Master on par with Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo.

Embrace It

This.

>How does your character react to his/her new look?

What is cheesecake

Is there a word or phrase that neatly sums up this genre of artwork, so searching for it on google is easier?

Do I just type in "high fantasy cheesecake"? Or is there a less pornish option?

I ask because I am always on the hunt for bad ass wallpapers, but it can't be outright porn, in case I have to use my laptop around family/friends.

He turns into David Bowie from the Labyrinth.

Well, I have to admit, when done right, mustaches can be hella sexy.

I would give Vlad Dracula a blowjob in a heartbeat if he was still alive.

>And make all the women in the setting hot and muscular?
>Sign me up
Yessss.

Guys too, though, don't wanna leave anybody out.

And the laughing God's true plan is revealed.

You were discredited decades ago, Lamarck.

if a girl can get jacked without eating buckets of testosterone supplements, it means she has actual genetics working for it.

It disgusts me because it's a disgusting fetish and you would have to be mentally deranged to even consider being aroused by it.

>without eating buckets of testosterone supplements
that's always the kicker

>hey she looks pretty great
>then, you notice the jawline coming in

>then, you notice the jawline coming in
>and her dick not being feminine

well I mean if you take it that far with someone who can grate cheese on their face, you kind of deserve that

I am interested in German setting

and the sexy supplement you linked

Pic looks pretty damn close to Killswitch Engage's cover of Holy Diver now that i think about it.

where can i vote for that god to be king?

He probably will kick the god's ass because the authorities don't like the change.

He couldn't care less if he was dead.

Damn it, I shouldn't be feeling this way. Espcially after reading the story that goes with it.

My character's a rogue. Does she cease to exist? I can't remember a single cheesecake 80s thief or rogue. Or is it just leather bondage gear for her now?

look, what you do behind closed doors should only concern you and only you but even people with but a hint of self awareness should know that you really shouldn't keep those doors open.

Post more retro elves.

what a shining example of decency you are

Check out Barbarians of Lemuria, it's really dope

>the real trick was tricking you into thinking you were tricked in the first place

Fucking hell. Twice on my phone I tried to tell in song of our previous game. KISS against a cult of Poison culminating in a battle against the new God of Rock they were trying to raise, a malformed creature pieced together and taking the form of a giant White Snake.

With meter and rhyme, but I kept checking song names to work into it and it closed the window by accident.

So yeah. Now we're doing a follow-up with Guns 'N Roses. Since KISS is now missing, heavily implied to be fighting for their position as Gods of Thunder/Rock after being betrayed when they walked the earth as Avatars acting through the chosen ones, we have to use a combination of new weapons of war, guns, while we try to tame the tangled and tainted Glam Rock left behind by the previous villains. Will we make a Paradise City? Or burn out before we find glory, fallen to drugs and drama. While the guns we wield might save our lives, we'll need the music to save the world - and our own souls. Because we each have a failure in our past to make up for.

So I mean. Not sure what changes can be made.

Nigga. I prefer muscular men. Gimme them Bulls, or a proper Bear that isn't an Obeast fatass trying to fake it.

I assure you that women can't get muscular enough (except bodybuilder women on steroids. Even then bikini and shape categories still don't get the bulk.) I digress and repeat, women can't get muscular enough to be mistaken for men.

Even a casual fitness dude will be more jacked than a woman that lifts.

I'd call you a faggot, but I don't think you actually know what a real man looks like, so I guess you're just a nu-male scrawny sack of goo. Skinnyfat, we got us here a Skinnyfat. Skinny but no muscle, just bones and fat.

You are right; women do not get visibly swole like men do, and it's because of testosterone. Here is the real kicker, though. Just because a woman cannot get visibly ripped does not mean she cannot kick your ass. Look at well known female fighters such as Rhonda Rousey or Kyra Gracie.
