Could it work as an RPG campaign? At least the first season, where it was basically MacGyver trying to kill superman. It was all about outwitting them, spitting blood on the invisible guys face to beat him up, killing the armored flesh man by putting a pipe bomb up his ass, stuff like that. Would players be able to come up with clever enough ways to exploit superhero powers? Or would it just fall flat and rely on them having superpowers themselves like in the comics?
>>98010266Maybe something like pic related? I guess it depends on how clever your players are.
>>98018763I think the comic's story is actually surprisingly good if you can stomach all of the tasteless edgyness, but yeah, this always annoyed me as well. He had a really brilliant premise like, right there, and decided not to go for itThen again, the show barely makes use of it either, especially later on
>>98019099Ennis has good ideas, he just gets too caught up in the shock value to actually execute them well.
>>98010266How much TDS do you and your table have? You need to be on Mark Hamill's level for it to work.
what went tragically albeit hilariously wrong?
What do you guys know about japanese TTRPGs? I'm interested in the bigger focus on one-shots and episodic nature. Also the "skill matrix" which I've heard has taken over a lot of systems.
>>97901023Is it true that Japanese TTRPGs and Japanese /tg/ stuff is actually better than western stuff or is that just the 'thing vs thing japan' meme surfacing here? I feel like most Japanese stuff that gets noticed in the west is usually the best stuff that deserves the attention while the stuff that doesn't make the cut generally stays unknown to us western Gaijins
>>98016539Your post is the first time I've seen anyone make any mention of them being better. The standard discussion we've had about Japanese TTRPGs in threads here has always been that they're different and/or interesting or that they appeal to specific types more. I wouldn't call them better or worse than Western games in general. I could see someone who wants to use one game to do a billion things, like the D&D5E or GURPS for everything types, hating them though since they're not quite focused on being the one game to play every idea type but that's not any different than how the West has game like Shadowrun, L5R, the various World of Darkness games, or Pendragon that are focused on doing just the one sort of thing. I like them because I like the settings, concepts, and styles as well as some of the rulesets while I'm also the type to enjoy playing 100 different games each focused on their own thing over one game to do 100 different things, so they make for a good addition to the rotation of games that I play or GM with my regular group.
>>98016539>usually the best stuff that deserves the attentionIf only. There might a selection bias towards better games, but I mean, people like SW which is DND with other numbers bascially. Hard to say they are generally better than the general USA quality, they certainly are not all good.
>>97995557well, do you like japanese culture,or do you like japanese culture heavily westernized with chinese and rainbow hands sock-puppeting the japanese up their ass?
>>97901023Anyone has this, translated or not?
So what are you working on?>Why should I homebrew?/tg/ products are fairly unique in that it's actually pretty simple to make them these days, with a plethora of products to assist in making and playtesting your game. Making your own games helps understand why games are made the way they are, as well as being fun to do.>What you should postIdeas for games, games you're currently making, updates to your own games in broad strokes, and any homebrewing for existing products that don't get much attention. Discussion about the above is welcome. Post good, be good, and look over others products, they care if someone looks more than anything.Had to remake the thread>Resources for the aspiring developer>https://anydice.com/ (A fantastic resource for checking probabilities)>https://miro.com/ (A online whiteboard with tools to help organize yourself)>https://www.notion.so/ (Similar to the above, but in a bit cleaner format for those who work in larger teams)>https://rolz.org/ (Impromptu playtesting at its finest)>https://www.youtube.com/user/georgephillies/playlists (Game Design Lectures)
Working on a Super Hero game for my players.Player's characters all get hit with the same Cosmic Energy, and each one develops different super powers depending on their personality (aka, Player's level up choices lol)I wanna prepare a fun selection of super powers for them (and balance them out against each other ahead of time lol)Do you think I have a good spread? I think I included all the most popular ones that you would want to have, but maybe I missed some obvious ones.Players will be able to get up to 3 Super Powers - any ones they want, as long as they have appropriate levels in the corresponding Ability. Example: Player with Might 2 and Intellect 1 can choose 2 Might Super Powers and 1 Intellect Super Power
I'm facing a bit of a dilemma:My game uses Willpower as a reserve of points you can spend to get a significant boost to physical rolls.The Endurance stat, tied to the Strength ability, gives you a chance to get back a Willpower point after you spent it, at the end of a scene. (Basically, the character takes a moment to catch his breath and finds out that he didn't strain himself for that action after all). That's the best way I found to turn endurance into a Willpower multiplier.This part works.I also have a "Devotion" stat, which is tied to the Soul ability.This one is supposed to give players bonus Willpower when they do actions that can help an NPC they previously bonded with. It's basically there to encourage them to engage with the world, meet NPCs and befriend them.Now for the question:There's three ways I could represent that.>My first draft was: You get a number of bonus dice based on your Devotion stat, which you can roll when an action is done to help the NPC. You lose these dice when they roll 1-2.>This one works-ish, but it means adding a completely different rule and reserve just for this>Second draft was a lot more straightforward: When you bond with an NPC you get additional Willpower points equal to your Devotion stat>This one would work great, but it would make "Devotion" one of the best stat in the game, because it could easily double the amount of Willpower you can get. We would go straight to Shonen "power of friendship" territory, gameplay-wise.>Third draft was to make it work exactly like Endurance: roll Devotion at the end of the scene, for a chance to regain Willpower.>Now this one is probably under-powered, because unlike Endurance, Devotion is extremely contextual (to use it, you would need to first bond with an NPC, then use Willpower in a way that directly helps this NPC).Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>98020896Just as a bit of context, if it helps:The game is mostly about exploration and solving environment-based puzzles.Willpower is pretty central to the gameplay, because it gives another option besides succeed/fail when it comes to obstacles and adds a level of attrition.
>>98020889>maybe I missed some obvious onesThere's at least one very obvious one which you missed, it's shooting: lasers/energy beams from the eyes/hands.It also a bit strange that you mix superpowers which are kind of frequent (super speed, flight, telekinesis) with ones which are much more rare (beast summon, clairvoyance), while presumably you could have filled a 3x3 grid with sticking with very generic powers only, but that's not necessarily an issue.Did you check this website? It could be a great source of inspiration for that https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Superpower_Wiki
>>98020971>shooting: lasers/energy beams from the eyes/handsthat's the Star Energy one! My description there was just a bit vague and poor, hah. Gotta make sure it's obvious that it's the blasting one.I did a mix of more generic and more unique ones on purpose, for a little extra variety. I think some people will just want simple and generic powers while others will gravitate more towards weirder ones. And then again, they can mix and match!
So, now you need to decide. Do you close your eyes to what you've seen and go back to sleep? Or do you come with this psycho burnout and do the impossible against the unbelievable and keep the future at bay for another day? What's it going to be? In or out?Yeah?

Gygax ruined the hobby. It used to be about war and real men. Than he introduced "roleplaying" which is just theatre kid behavior. You could play as a bikini woman character and start developing apg, a gay elf wizard that casts sparkle, or a oiled up fighter. The goal is to collect shiny gems so you can go shopping for new clothes. Its always been theatre kid stuff where players "discover" their sexuality
>>98000624
>>98000624The hobby only continues to exist because of "theater kid" roleplay where can do those things, while the fighting and war is almost totally able to be replaced by video games now. The improv and full flowing story and interplay is still impossible for even high budget games to truly replace.
>>98000624Wasn't it Arneson who was the storyteller and Gygax who was the tactician?You can't even get your creators right.
>>98019846OP is clearly trolling, anon. It's a baitpost made to rile up both the people who support expressive roleplay as integral part of the hobby, and fans of Gygaxian D&D who prefer a tactical combat game, with roleplay existing as means of existing with the rest of the world mechanically, by posing as a more hardcore wargamer spouting a contrarian opinion, sprinkled with the added hypocrisy of the picrel.

>>98011623OP, don't feel bad... My campaign is on session 62 and I basically have to have one of the players act as my stenographer and secretary. I wrote my campaign over the course of 10 years of nogames downtime, and now that I'm actually able to run it, I have to remember every major and minor character with a 800 mile radius AND also come up with some bullshit name when they spare Gulubo the Goblin at the end of a random fight and make him a slave without any warning.
>>98011938You don't really believe this.
>>98011623Just have him fade into the background, carry luggage, look after the horses and baggage carts outside the dungeon, and eventually either retire or die.For a laugh, you could have him raise the subject of owed back-pay after he's worked for the party long enough; if that doesn't make them drop him off at the first town, then just mark him down as an official hireling and roll with it.

>>98004547How long has GW started nostalgia baiting?With Transformers as an example I'd say GW could keep doing it forever as I think Transformers has been nostalgia baiting G1 since 2010. Maybe even earlier.Maybe GW takes notes from Hasbro.
>>98012376GW hasn't rolled things back far enough.
>>98016358>You know that can happen even with Purestrains too right? The Twisted Helix extract germ-seed and taint medical supplies with it. It's entirely possible to isolate and transmit the germ-seed infection without a genestealer at all.Yup, but the Twisted Helix genestealers go through the normal lifecycle progression after infection. It's very different. >It is no longer a Purestrain Genestealer Cult. It is still a Genestealer Cult. Frankly I'm kind of pissed that GW hasn't made more mutant strains, especially since the Tyranids don't always wipe out the cults anymore. Sometimes they let them go on Voidships to infect new world. Tiamet takes tributes from what are basically voidborn corsair genestealer cults.No. There no such thing as a "purestrain genestealer cult," you're misunderstanding the meaning of purestrain genestealer, which is just a genestealer born to a non-genestealer parent (fourth generation parents). >Like I said, Deathwatch TTRPG says otherwise. GW most certainly reviewed the book, just like they review every other licensed product, and have never contradicted it.Nope. It is not canon as far as GW is concerned. Not any more than the DoW Dark Crusade ending that I'm sure inspired it. Meanwhile, the Imperium hunts its own citizens for sport and wipes out entire worlds over doctrinal disputes. The Imperium treats humans worse than the Tau ever have.
>>98019893>Yup, but the Twisted Helix genestealers go through the normal lifecycle progression after infection.Not entirely accurate. Their experiments turned the original set of infectees into something more resembling third generation hybrids than simple brood brothers.>which is just a genestealer born to a non-genestealer parent (fourth generation parents).So how exactly do you think Malstrain Genestealers come into being? Pop out of a hole in the wall spontaneously?>Nope. It is not canon as far as GW is concernedThat's not how it works and you know god damned well that's not how it works. If that were the case most of the Black Library would be non-canon.>the Imperium hunts its own citizens for sportCool, name one Imperial institution that does this. Planetary Nobles being assholes is not an Imperial institution.
