Thank you !
I did try to. It was a game where everyone shared the same deck and had to discard cards in order to play them.
Also the battlefield would be cut in two, a Red and a Blue zone, where Summons would only be able to interact in their respective zone.

I've long since lost them but when I was a young lad I used to draw cards on those little cardboard squares in reese's cups. All they had was power and an "element" (a circle which had zero effect on the "game" and also zero consistency. It could be whatever I felt like at the time.) There were no resources or tributes or limitations of any kind. The cards had no written effects. They did whatever I felt like they should be able to do, like an airship whale that could fire the missle monster to destroy things.

I kept my "deck" of around 18 cards in a deckbox which was one of those little plastic protective cases you put gameboy cartridges in.

Where did the split between occult psychic powers (spirit mediums and such) and the futuristic space wizard psychic powers occur and why is it always considered it's own thing separate from other forms of "magic" present in various books and media?

Which setting has your favorite rendition of the undead? Tell me about it. Do you prefer your undead to be forces of evil or just neutral monsters? Should players be able to play undead characters?

Personally, I love it when a setting leaves room for neutral undead who maintain their independence and (at least part of) their humanity like the Forsaken in WoW. I like the idea of a kingdom of the undead, thinking about the logistics of it makes me excited.

I think the origins of the word zombie, West African and Haitian vodou practice, had a good idea of how to emphasize the scariness and evil of the undead. Which was focusing on the aspect that a zombie was a form of slavery which transcended mortality, denying any respite or release. It doesn't matter what you do the necromancer owns your soul. A lot of horror can be added to the undead by portraying them not as mindless but fully aware of what is happening to them just unable to articulate or do anything but suffer, follow orders, and hope someone manages to kill the one who raised them.
>>
>>92922993
My favorite rendition of undead is actually very simple. Skeletons in rusty armor, in large groups, pouring forth, and a plethora of various specialized skeletons smattered throughout; Skeleton Archers, Skeleton Champions, Burning Skeletons, Frozen Skeletons, Skeletal Mages, and so on and so forth.

This can be done in a lot of different fantasy settings, but it's honestly not very common that it's depicted that way, at least not in TTRPGs. It can almost always be done, but it seldomly is. There's a few examples I can think of in different media.

I want to do it in my own game at some point, but sadly I'm not sure it'd fit as a major threat in my own setting, which is definitely an oversight on my part, but it just doesn't fit with the core conceit of the setting.

Who's the "artist" for your character or setting? If you don't picture them as a real person, who in your mind's eye is their illustrator? For me, my fantasy characters are imagined in the style of Boris Vallejo, pretty basic bitch I know but I play OSR so it fits. For my modern setting characters, the artist is Huke, best known as the creator of Black Rock Shooter and illustrating Steins;Gate

I recall a GM I played under several years ago at my LGS who had a similar (but less extreme) breakdown. Said GM had a lot going on in his personal life and (most likely) wanted to take back control of the one aspect of it he directed, so he lashed out at us and imposed like 4 or 5 of the rules on OP's list, as well as a no-phones rule.

Ultimately, what happened is that the game fell apart shortly thereafter. While many of these rules/concepts are perfectly valid, they're the sort of thing you agree on before the campaign starts rather than after. We were all friends and remained friends even after the game died, but when the game felt more like an obligation rather than a passtime, it became no longer fun.

I suspect the GM in question is not only real, but in a similar spot. His players will probably leave him soon, and as some anons have remarked earlier, that's probably a good thing for him too. It sounds like he's got some stuff he needs to work out.
>>
>>92950099
>>92950107
Breaks my heart to see him making such good points. I've seen a handful of other people take on this list and this fat beanbag of a man caught the one thing that none of the other tryhards did: Rule 3 guarantees that the game falls apart immediately and demands all interactions with the game end in this whiny faggot DM going home. Even his attempts at being sensible conflict with his attempts at being a hard-ass, because it all comes back to him wanting to run home crying if he gets the smallest amount of pushback.
>>
>>92954108
It's possible a few of those were made by an autistic stickler of a DM, most of them are clearly fake, being added to the list by Iedditors who can't decide of the game is in-person or over chat, but just want to be "le ebic memers" with more and more hostile and toxic rules as it goes on.

GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.
Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.

A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by those who pay attention to file extensions.
Never post direct links to the archive anywhere.

If you're wondering where to start:
The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.
A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.
How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.
GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.

>Every time I see people give GM advice it's always "do what your players want"
Like the many people screaming this is wrong, I add my advice to the pile. You as GM and your group need to match on some level Combat groups with Combat GMs, social groups with social GMs, so on.
But at some level, the group has to adjust to you, not the other way around. Let the players decide what's going on, and they will turn into the pickiest of bitches. Fun as GM comes from throwing scenarios you design and make up, the shit players would criticize if they had the chance, but fuck you, it's fun to throw you in the situation anyway. You essentially are the story, which is nice to tell some what you're wanting as GM.

I think having them based on astronomical phenomena like in your pic also works. Sun Elves, Moon Elves, Dawn Elves, Dusk Elves, etc.
