Pic unrelated./tg/ newfag here with a question.Do you guys ever feel like you're getting too old for ttrpgs? I can't shake the feeling that it's gay and pointless, even if the stories are really interesting and it's fun to hang out with my bros.Maybe it's just 5e. I'm gonna try out DMing for Pathfinder and Call of Cthulu, but if they don't work out then I'm gonna have to retire.
>>96970888worrying about 'being too old' for something is a thing only children do.
Once upon a time, a friend was visiting a certain writer for dinner. At the time, the writer was in his mid 40's. After dinner, the pair started playing with toy soldiers.That writer was H. G. Wells, a pacifist, who would go on to become widely considered as the grandfather of modern war games.Another story: despite (or perhaps because of) his voice being similar to Droopy, H. G. Wells caught mad pussy.
>>96970888>Do you guys ever feel like you're getting too old for ttrpgs?No? Why would my age matter for a hobby I enjoy with my friends?>I can't shake the feeling that it's gay and pointlessThen you're an insecure manchild who has failed to self-actualize. Stop caring about what society/other people think. If you're happy, that's all that matters and anyone who tells you otherwise is miserable and wants you to be miserable too.>if the stories are really interesting and it's fun to hang out with my bros.Again, if you're having fun, who gives a shit what other people think? You aren't hurting anyone by having fun running/playing TTRPGs.>Maybe it's just 5e.Nah, don't be one of those nogames faggots who blames every ill of the hobby on 5e.>I'm gonna try out DMing for PathfinderSo D&D with a different coat of paint? If you don't like 5e, you're probably not going to like pathfinder.>and Call of CthuluIf you want to run a very specific type of game, it works. It's drastically different from D&Dfinder.>but if they don't work out then I'm gonna have to retire.There are way more TTRPGs out there than just those three.Comment too long.

>>96971164You say this but IMO it allows for less tactical play. If that's what you want, then yeah, but I like making my players use the environment and think with their brains in a three-dimensional space. It's why I struggled sorting out how my metroid RPG should work. Sure, 2d is the most popular and iconic, but Prime fits the style of a TTRPG way better with its exploration focus and massive, amazing environments.
>>96971164Wtf there is a Hollowknight board game?!

Post aesthetically pleasing dice. Doesn't matter whether it's your own photo or not, I just wanna see some cool dice.Picrel is the Wildfyre set from Die Hard Dice
>>97000739>his dice are machine made oh nononono Guys, anon's POOR!
>>97000770>He has other people make his diceI see, you're one of THOSE people...
eww, the menial's talking to me, somebody take him away before he touches me
>>97000657They are pretty nice. I had an extra lab dice set I gave to my younger brother. Would buy more lab dice again.
>>96983544Oh brother have I got you covered. Here's a pic of a d20 made of gem-grade amethyst, and here's the video where the guy actually makes it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HVK55hEtjk
Every time I try another “dark fantasy” RPG I end up laughing, because none of them even come CLOSE to Zweihänder’s trve grimdark tone.Sorry, but if your game doesn’t make the players roll for gangrene and social stigma in the same session, it’s not grimdark, it’s just Diet Warhammer.Zweihänder is literally the only system where:>the dice hate you>the world hates you>your equipment hates you>and your character sheet resents being printedMeanwhile the OSR crowd keeps pretending their kobold-filled funhouses are “deadly,” and 5e players think a point of exhaustion makes them gritty.No.Zweihänder is the correct way to suffer.Comment too long.

>>96997593He also "earned" sales awards by setting the price of his game to 1 cent and then buying thousands of copies himself, which got him into some (formerly) prestigious convention as a best-seller iirc, and of course in the process edging out games that actually deserved to be there.
>>97000274If the organizers of the convention didn't say "lol no" to that then it's on them, frankly. Although he sounds like enough of a faggot to sue if they did that, to be fair.
>>96997457Buy an ad for your mediocre copied game, faggot, nobodfy cares about your WFRP second rate rip-off no one buys fantasy gamer with women.Plus reforced edition. So your first editon was total shit then?
>>96997457Fuck off, Daniel.
>>97000292Because that's pretty much what happened. He throw a temper tantrum that he "deserves" the award, but also blackmailed them with litigation for extra effect. Facing a choice between a pointless lawsuit that even if they easily win, will take time and money, or giving a kid a cookie and tell to fuck off, they decided to give him the award.And thus Fox cemented his position as one of the most hated people in the TTRPG community. Globally. Which is his actual lifetime achievement.
Anybody in the mood for a Night Shift Thread?https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Setting:Night_Shift
>>96983141>Op here, back and uh what’s unknown armies? Delta green type shit?Unknown Armies is an Urban Fantasy/Horror setting, created by Greg Stolze and John Tynes. Iirc, Tynes was also a co-creator for Delta Green.
>>96990062I play a few games with it. If they're fans of Regular Show, What's new Scooby Doo, or Courage the Cowardly Dog they should love it. That's the kind of horror you should expect unless the GM starts changing things around and homebrewing it.
>>96987020The Irish parasites "totally an original idea" is a near 1:1 copy.
>>96997248I don't like the idea of GMing for money but I can't fault a poor loser for their side hustling. Anon's gotta live, even at the bottom of the pond.

Looks like this'll be the last post before the thread starts to die, so make sure to keep an eye out for any potential bakers.I feel slightly bad about copying an already used method from an earlier sheet (i.e. Porcelain Maid's), but I can't deny the results. I was debating shrinking the image to include a blurb below but when I asked about her lore she said there was going to be a Part 2 of it at some point in the future so I figured I'd keep it to just what we know based on the first video.
>>97002999Michi's page came out great. I could see her having a dip in alchemist just to reference zooted Michi but I can see that being more a streamer thing vs lore thing. On that subject, how do you decide the cut off point from what is their character lore vs just the streamer's quirks?
2eI'm planning a campaign in the desert, the players will be a caravan of merchants, so they'll mainly be traveling through sand. A whole campaign with difficult terrain as default will get old fast, and making it uneven ground will add a shit load of extra dice rolls, so what should I do about the terrain?
>>97004264Not all desert sand is difficult terrainJust make the desert mostly packed sand while saving annoying dune sand for when you actually want to utilize difficult terrain

What language should I use to name the gods and spirits of my fantasy religion lore?

Hello, bleeding hussars anon, I've gotten over some lethargy to update the pdfs on my itch page for the "Lancer for AGE" stuff. you can just pick it up for free, right now.would like to have some feedback from people outside my little bubble.gist of it is is in the mission statement, I wanted to see how these systems would combine together and the project got a lot bigger than I thought it would. now there's various solutions to problems I ran into in translation, as well as... pilots directly influencing the effectiveness of a mech? how fun. armory is unfinished, so it's not included yet, but I'm working on that.friends compare it a bit to Code Geass and Armored Core if you sucked at piloting. I kinda agree.

>>96988704Sorry late to respond, its not really fully based on anything but it does have roots in ADnD but more of a focus on "Hero" fantasy akin to LOTR, Record of Lodoss, Dragon Quest, etc. instead of the usual quick death stuff of ADnD, Shadowdark, etc (Nothing wrong with those system of course)We made it cause we found 5e storytelling, campaigns, and mechanics too bloated and hypefocused, as well we never really full found a system that WE liked. Systems been going well through couple months of play and stress testing. currently were working on a larger scale campaign about fighting an evil prince.
What kind of rations does your party typically bring?
>>96989856Most alcohol loses any negative elements of its taste once you've had enough. That drink that makes you suck your teeth goes down like water a few hours later.So the only thing that matters is your level of commitment, or if it's something hellish like infinite sour apple vodka.

>>96995736It was removed along with the IP tracker so a person can keep a thread bumped every ~12 hours for 300 posts and you can't even be certain how many people are (or are not) in the thread anymore.
>>96983630It's a mix. There are prebought rations which includes non-perishables like hardtack, pemmican, jerky, dried fruits and vegetables, nuts, that sort of thing. However, the party will often do a Dungeon Meishi and cook up some of the monsters they encounter. One encounter they were able to score a whole wyrm which they later learned was the A5 Wagyu of animal meats and they ate 200,000gp worth of meat.

How much CP would you expect a drawback that gives you an instantly lethal allergy to oranges to give?
>>97004921Depends on how common oranges are, I suppose. 200 in a modern earth setting, 300 if you're likely to go up against people clever enough to figure out that weakness.
>>97004995Guess it's 300 CP then. The jump is a fantasy academy setting that very conveniently still has a modern quality of life (people fairly regularly eat chocolate cakes and such), with very cutthroat murderous student competition.
>>97004995>if you're likely to go up against people clever enough to figure out that weakness.Considering it's instantly lethal, by the time anyone has a chance to notice you react badly to them you're already dead.
>>97004921300 CP. It's a way to instantly kill you past any defenses after all.
How do I know my campaign is ready to run?Pic unrelated
>>96999629Just run it.
>>96999629The secret is that you only need enough to flesh out things for the first session. The details of where the PCs start, what's there to engage with, answers to the immediate and localized questions to who they are and what's going on. Just go one session at a time and build upon things between sessions.The bigger secret is that you technically don't even need that if you're good enough at improv, but that takes practice.
>>96999657fpbpOP, just run it. If there are any gaps you need to fill, you'll figure it out when you do it and can fill them on the fly. >>96999805 speaks the truth. Honestly, you shouldn't prepare everything too much ahead of time because that can make you rigid and lead to you trying to keep the party on rails.
