I have made a propaganda of my FATE character

He was general before he was an undead, this is a propaganda poster of his nation’s direct adversary they were at war with before he died.

Prophecy of the Second King

Philosopher, poet and scholar

All these things and more will you be

Enslaved one, besotted and dragon

All these things and more will you free

From Crown, you to crowns will be driven

For such is the nature of Kings

From ice to the fire will you wander

For fire is the safest of things

A stone in the ocean is meager

A stone in a sling is a life

Though standing alone you are nothing

Your hand will bring end to a strife

Yours is a braiding uncoiling

For even a Fate has a fate

Yours is the coming of mayhem

For even the end must create

How long will you journey to find them?

How long to your life will you hold?

I know not the stories you search for

For yours is the last I have told

That moment when you joke about that unassuming NPC. But your GM knows.

Goya loves it when the residents of Echoback start their summer time grilling early. That means he can beg for food unashamedly.

Garrett belongs to @cjadewyton

He's informally become Goya's food supplier for mooching. Garrett thinks the feral homeless elf is just a funny lil' Guy. Toni; Garrett's Co-Parent in all this mess however does NOT think it's cute.

me and a few of my friends decided to play a game based on fate system, so we're making a team of questionable superheroes in a dispatch-like setting

so meet Celestyna, aka Pani Defibrylacja, the oldest member on the team with strict granma vibes. She didn' t really want to do this "superhero nonsense" but it was between this or some low-paying job like a cleaning lady, since every hospital she worked in has "let her go" because of her god-awful customer service skills

she can cook awesome pierogis but she also can and will bonk any team member with her cane if they piss her off (did i mention that she's a healer?)

Saw a post that op turned off reblogs on about how a lot of people think DnD 5e is a great system for rp over combat and uh hey y'all

If you want a game system for more structured improv, 5e ain't it. DnD is very combat driven, despite what Dimension 20 and other such shows may lead you to believe.

If you genuinely want a ttrpg system designed with More Structured Improv Roleplay in mind, I'm gonna suggest you go ahead and pick up the FATE Core Rulebook. The system is all about telling a story and the mechanics it has make such clear.

Your character creation process is essentially "What is my character's job, their biggest problem, a facet of themselves from their backstory, and a couple tie ins to the rest of the party?" And then you allocate a few stats and you're basically done.

DnD is great, truly it is. But the story you can tell is extremely restricted by your ability to understand the rules and bend/break them appropriately in ways that don't fuck up the entire system, which takes so much more effort than the average person is usually willing to put in. It's very much genre locked, and taking it out of that high fantasy genre in a way that's fun for you AND your players is a lot harder than people like Brennan Lee Mulligan make it look.

Go pick up FATE. It is not genre dependant. It's all about flavor, and failing forward, and saying, "But your character was literally raised in a barn, don't you think it'd make sense for them to really bomb this conversation with a noble?" and having that actually be a fun mechanic.

If you want to see the system in action, the Nebula Jazz series by ItMeJP on YouTube should do you just fine. It's a Guardians Of The Galaxy-esque campaign with a heavy Music theme laid over top of it. It also features the producer of Monster Prom, Jesse Cox, if that helps.

There are other systems outside of DnD. Your idea might be better suited for one of them. Please. Please look in to other systems before trying to force the rules of DnD 5e to conform to your vision.
