Gamma World- D&D 4th EditionMost people believe the world was once perfect, but then the Big Mistake wiped it out, leaving behind the blasted landscape and visibly cracked moon of Gamma Terra. Residents of that utopian former world (you and me) are called Ancients, and their ruins and still-functioning super-science artifacts can still be found.
Insofar as it can be determined by people of Gamma Terra, the Big Mistake was a combination of events kicked off by an accident at an Ancient installation called the Large Hadron Collider that was attempting to locate the “God Particle.” Depending on the story, it was one of those tiny things that didn’t seem important at the time: a bird dropped a piece of bread, which precipitated a series of cascading malfunctions culminating in the event that partially collapsed billions of parallel timelines into a single worldtrack! Uncomprehending nations in a large percentage of these parallel Earths mistook the collapse for an attack by enemies and immediately launched their arsenals of nuclear, chemical, biological, and superscience weapons at each other.
That was some years ago. Since then, remnant poisons, fluxing timelines, and transposed creatures and technology of myriad alternate dimensions combined to create a unique tableau that any Ancient would deride as the gibberings of a down-on-her-luck pulp novelist. From where you’re sitting, it’s obviously no fantasy, but sometimes it sure seems crazy.

Its like gamma world except you have a higher chance of being horrible things
Edit: Tested it. My character would be Nicholas Cage, except he is a Tempur-Pedic sleep system who is really good at active listening.
Tieflings and Dragonborn both having old fallen empires is kind of a big thing. They were basically USA/USSR for a while.
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
Like, the dragonborn still have a nation, though they send their young out into the world to explore and discover. But their land is ruled over by bloodline houses, each headed by an actual dragon. Getting accepted into a bloodline is not a guarantee, and is a big deal (because non-dragonborn are second-class citizens, while blooded dragonborn are the fucking aristocracy).
Tieflings, by contrast, have nothing. Their former land is now a blighted desert hell (darksun, basically). Some live among the ruins, most have traveled to other lands, and few tieflings can count the number of tieflings they know on more than one hand.
It's a vicious cycle. On par with the reapers.

Tieflings were sorta ruined for me, though. Oh well, kobolds are still awesome.

And, seriously, the first thing I throw out are deities. We kept maybe half of the 4e core deities, and tossed the rest and replaced them with lots more others.
I do tend to like a slightly more FR-esque pantheon. Just lousy with gods.
I have a couple of books of Call of Cthulhu scenarios that are all horror/fantasy movie based. Like zombie film, slasher flick, etc. I've always wanted to run a few of those some day. Especially the slasher film one because it was pretty disturbing, and one of the PCs would play the family dog.
Edit: The books are titled Blood Brothers, and Blood Brothers II. And to add to my description, there is a silent film scenario, a Land that Time Forgot style one, a Mexican wrestler one, and one titled "Ancient Midget Nazi Shamans".
never liked it much

world creation myth? dragons
dragonmarks
dragonmarked houses
draconic prophecy
entire continent ruled by dragons
dragon dragon dragon dragon
rock the dragon
Yeah.
So the guy that was DMing mid-late Paragon for our group completely spoiled my entire plotline to the PCs tonight.
Straight-up had one of the NPCs that he created look at them, point blank, and say, "You are the prophesied ones. You are the ones who will destroy the world."
So now I have to completely scrap the really awesome, intriguing, and twist-ending-having story I wrote up for the epic tier of our game because he has absolutely zero fucking respect for a fellow writer.
It was all I could do not to flip the table and ragequit as soon as he said it.
have one of your NPCs show up and be like "yeah, that other guy? he was totally full of shit"

How did this dude get in that position with that attitude
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
probably mutants and masterminds, the way people talk you about it you can stat up anything
And I sorta shot myself in the foot mentioning that the gimmick of my character is others not knowing what he does. Now everyone is gonna be watching what he does like a hawk.
who wants to play mutants and masterminds guys!!!!
He's just so completely socially inept that he doesn't get it, which is what kept me from making a scene. He's just like that. Can't be bothered to see how that might bother somebody. Can't be bothered to check with somebody before just going for it.
This is the same DM that routinely spent a good third of our sessions going on excessive exposition. Tonight we played for about two hours, had only one combat encounter, and it took about an hour. The rest of the time? Him talking. Not even joking.
The only reason I shared anything with him is because I needed to know where we were going to be at for the hand-off, and wanted to make sure his character wasn't going to be too game-breaking.
Honestly I just don't even want to play anymore. Like, I just don't care. Dude is such a fucking stressor for me that I just don't want to go back.
Because his fucking PC is going to be the most OP broken piece of shit that I've ever shared a table with.
"Oh, I cursed it with Warlock's Curse, so it has a -2 to attacks. And I did psychic damage with Mindbite Scorn, and I have Psychic Lock, so it takes another -2 to attacks. Oh, yeah, and this other feat gives it a -2 to attacks that don't include me. Oh, yeah, and it's marked, so it takes another -2 to attacks that don't include me. Oh, y-"
"You know what, dude? You win. Okay? You fucking win. Congrats. You fucking won D&D. I'm going home."
this right here is a huge red flag to stop playing with this guy
if they don't give enough of a shit about other people to not be colossal dipshits they probably shouldn't be engaging in an activity that, at its best, involves thinking "man what would i find fun and what would THESE OTHER PEOPLE find fun" and then working to make sure everyone (including people who aren't yourself) have fun
i'm saying the guy sucks
Yeah....that doesn't exactly work when said NPC was the son of the dead-god-of-death Nerull, and is now the ascended new god of death.
Did I mention the Raven Queen is a well-established deity in this setting? And he just wrote in his own death god because he's been playing Skyrim. Or WotLK. Or watching Game of Thrones. Or something. Which is why we've spent three levels gallivanting around the Free Nations of Thrym.
Yyyyyup. And I really don't want to play any more because of this.
But the problem is that my girlfriend has started playing. So...if I don't keep going, she'll probably quit, too. And she'll be upset with me. And...yeah.
It's just a no-win. And now it's my fucking job.
I seriously am so pissed off at this dude. I have been very forgiving about his Sheldon-esque antics for a while now. But he's just too much for me anymore. Can't play a regular single-class anything except a Fighter or a Wizard because "everything else is too boring. Why do that when I can be a *rattles off some hybrid piece of shit that does crazy bullshit and teleports and gives huge penalties to attack and fuck you DM Imma ruin your game*"
I respect my fellow writers
and girlfriends are always welcome

He's just like..."Why play X, when Y is so obviously better because you can then do Z, and also Q.."
because, man. Be-fucking-cause.
elf games are supposed to be fun
you're supposed to enjoy playing/running them
if you find yourself not having fun?
stop
you're basically devoting time every week to being miserable
alternately kick king shitlord out of the group, you can't be the only one frustrated with him

SHOTGUN ON FIREFALL
this is the absolute worst possible response
if a dude pisses you off on a regular basis the response shouldn't be "suck it up"
no gaming is better than bad gaming
If I quit, I'll lose friends, I'll upset my girlfriend, and ultimately no good will come of it. The game will fail, and the group will fall apart.
If I just suck it up and keep going, my girlfriend will have fun, my other friends will have fun, and by the end of the year we'll be done with the campaign, and can start over, and hopefully not include him in any new plans.
