To anyone doing solo at the moment. If you like paranormal shit, may I recommend Ashers Ridge?It's breddy gud, I'm 3 episodes into my series and kind of impressed with it. The base mechanics need some tweaks, but once you finagle them out, honestly, I'm enjoying it.
>>98935135>paranormalghosts, aliens, or what
>>98935758Up to you basically.I went with the fair folk personally
do you need physical stuff like dice and cards to play solo?btw you guys use ai to turn your journalling into a actual story?
>>98935760Need? Only if you don't have an alternative like a PC or a phone app.I don't really use AI for anything. I learned how to write plot and improvise from books and I apply it to my solo games.
I must GM and somehow I don't feel the fantasy feeling this days. Give me some movie, book or anime to watch that will put me in the mood /tg/. Nothing mid tier. Hard mode: No LOTR

>>98932602You can run a game that isn't fantasy, retard.
>>98935439>The anime is the best way to experience Frieren.I'll try the anime then, if it's not better than the manga I'll come back, hunt you down and feed you to a mimic feet first.

>>98935536I'm working on saving Worm society.
>>98935536my ideas are too big and my capacity to write too smallI considered joining FT and starting a world domination plot based on a ruling class of powerful mage families and a peasant class that used magitech weapons, mainly guns. But it seems like noble courts and marriage alliances and power politics goes against the theme of FT so I scrapped the whole thing.

Am I supposed to believe that the only difference between plate mail and leather armor is that it has a 30% less chance of hitting? And that a slashing weapon does the exact same damage to both if it hits?
>>98934263They both have their strengths. Ive found cyberpunk is much quicker and coherrent for one on one or small scale fights, since even with opposed rolls it can be over in a turn or two. D20 feels better for simulating large group fights because you arent held up calculating cover or dodges for a half dozen combatants a turn.
>>98931145Used to be that you had around a 55% chance (10+ on a D20) of hitting an unarmoured opponent in 1st ed AD&D, dropping to around 10% to 5% (19 or 20) if they were wearing plate with a shield. It also had mods from weapon type, so a fighter would pull out a mace or hammer for use against plate, leaving blades for use against lighter and softer armoured foes. That seemed pretty reasonable then. If whatever version or system you are using today doesnt seem as reasonable, just fucking change it back, you mong.
>>98931145>>98931214
>>98931145>>98931815Also AD&D 1e does the big stupid chart where different weapons get different bonuses or penalties against various kinds of armor. That was 47 years ago. What I’m saying is you’re standing right at the base of the D&D autism spiral acting like you’re the first person to see it.
>>98934262>, if there was a widely acceptable way to abstract quivers and spell slots in d&d to fit the idea of combat being made up of multiple back and forth maneuversRanged attacks are trying to line up a direct shot while everyone is trying to fight each other in close proximity, which is a lot harder to do than mass fire arc at groups in a field and a lot harder to do. Spells take time to cast and are intricate rituals not snap your fingers, and should be either happening last or in initiative segment if you're one of those. Done.

i know not how we escaped. not completely. we were buried thrice, and the third time we crawled into the basement of a village pub. covered in blood and gore, my companion ready to frenzy when the poor proprietress came downstairs to grab some more czech beer. i dealt with him, and made the old woman forget for the night we were there. and the next evening we departed. after i had pulled a dozen bronze nails out of my foot and safely interred my companion into a luggage crate.i have elected to keep one third of the shattered key, which i shall not elaborate upon. suffice to say it will remain safe in a distant corner of hellas that only the dumbest of fools would ever conspire to reach. one third i have elected to return to a hand in roumania that will be uniquely suited to protecting it. while the last of the trio will be going to the west and the americas. >@leatherneck i must apologize for not being able to produce much at all in the way of answers or context to the deeds of your ancestor, but this... was far outside of us. even now. with all of our blood and our learning and our knowledge. i shall say this. he made the correct decision in hiding the key away. whatever was in that box, whatever that throne was for? it aught never be opened. no soul should occupy that seat.i sign off now for a long vacation and to catch up on my favourite posters here. hopefully not so many have perished.
>>98931024>Do you come to the surface to write your messages?kinda have to, besides my job doing deep sea welding I like to hang down there as I usually finish early so I just relax in the deep. Seen a lot and compared to some of the things I've seen on land the deep is far more peaceful. Maybe it's something in my primordial brain tellin me I'm back home where the first organisms emerged from, maybe I just like cold dark places. I honestly can't explain it.

While Lavender and Libby are getting a bit less juice out of the Caern, me and WeeWee are getting more than usual and I do NOT want to see what happens if I let it build up some, so, gotta burn some. Rules for my Tarot:>You can ask a full question, or just list the subject and let the cards work; less specifics mean more card freedom>"Will I find love in Los Angeles?" or "Will I be safe in Los Angeles?" works, so does "Los Angeles?" or "Love?" or "Safety?">I tend to go for anywhere from three to seven questions elaborating on what you ask, one card per question normally>The cards give meaning, and I'll interpret them, but you can interpret them differently. They don't often do the whole 'if you wage this war a great empire will fall' trick, they try to be helpful and honest>The cards won't tell you where Cain is, but they're also better than you'd think, be reasonable in what you expect>Be nice or I'll ask them when your dick will rot off>If you want on-retainer readings and guidance, pay me money, these are freebies I give out as advertisement of my immensely useful servicesComment too long.

Why the Hell does PF2e have different backgrounds for "Revenant" and "Returned" when they're both basically the same? Better yet, why is there the option to play an actual lich, ghost, or skeleton, but you can't play a true revenant? Like the PC version is just some chump who came back by luck, not an undead vengeance-driven nightmare monster. And the Returned background is literally the same thing thematically but you don't get negative healing.
>>98935525Revenants in PF2e don't have much to build a PC around that wouldn't just be flavor for Ghost or Ghoul.https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=3167Unless you...really want to be weak to mirrors.
>>98935299I've been doing that for all the other npcs and creatures, but the final book of the AP doesn't have the full-body art for Unity's avatar. Only this action shot, and the full-body art of the Overlord Robot from.Feels like an odd exclusion if you ask me.
Would 4e be remembered more fondly, if WotC had never tried to pander "pathfinder and 3.5e crowd" with Essentials, ruining everything that system had built up to that point?
>>98935373It is remembered fondly by those who enjoyed it, and who still enjoy it to this day.It will be remembered less and less fondly by everyone else the more you try to shove it down their throats, just like any other TTRPG.
>>98935373No, it was too divisive to begin with. Maybe you don't remember this (who can blame anyone for forgetting ancient online drama?) but Essentials was hailed as a great improvement by a lot of people when it came out, people who hated 4e on release.Essentials is hated now among people who either liked base 4e the whole time or who reevaluated the original 4e design. The split has been there the whole time and not really changed at all.
>>98935373I hate how shadow power source exists only as essentials slop, limiting edgelords to warlocks.
>>989353733e to 4e to Pf was a fake publicity quarrel.Creators of 3e, 4e and Pathfinder are childhood friends. All the TTRPG bigshots come from highly concentrated area and all know each other.Source: Wandering DMs S03E09 Jonathan Tweet - the Evolution of Games
No, idiot. It had already flopped when they tried to salvage it with that.
What is the personal appeal to you in terms of mechanics and aesthetics? I'm trying to make/find something that works well for a roleplay-focused gaming group
here's your Mech, bro
>>98933220I keep hearing people mention Mech Hack as a more streamlined experience, so it could be a choice to ease such a table into things.
>>98932909>I don't see anyone addressing your pointI don't see anybody qualified to answer the question in the first place, seeing as OP specified "those PLAYING mecha wargames / rpgs"so he wants experienced opinions, not theoretical design musingsso I give you: Dunning-Kruger the thread
>>98931108>I'm trying to make/find something that works well for a roleplay-focused gaming groupChris Perin's Mecha. Designed to do various forms of the character drama around mecha fights in the chinese cartoons. Characters are sort of the pilot and the mecha as separate things but integrate to form dice pools and abilities on the combat grid.Successes during out-of-mecha scenes give you powerups and monologues during combat missions. Abilities are abstract but work for different styles of mecha from real robots to greeble covered ninjas with magical powers. I made the combat map a bit bigger and added terrain rules but nothing too involved and it have the narrative aspects of the fights more to work with. Neat game.
As >>98931198 said, combat degradation is a must, you need your mech to be able to lose a limb or a weapon and keep fighting at a disadvantage. Particularly for a roleplay-focused group, I'd generally make sure retreat is an option, and staying in a fight after a certain point comes with risks to physical/mental/spiritual health.Personally I like fairly stompy mechs, but you'll get tastes around the spectrum, so there I'd ask your players directly.
How would you run game for a story in the style of a martial arts manga? Or a story like that of fighting game? With both 1v1 or team battles.
>>98934742
...was Kengan Ashura always this ugly? Or does the studio think they should follow Baki's success?
>>98934742I'd try first actual martial arts focused RPG, like Contenders.(yeah, that's not weeb superpowers, but still, it's a start)I'd especially NOT use generic shit like GURPS.

Shoutout to when V5 made the Assamites' logo literally ISISActually I really like that V5 remade most icons and made them look sharper and more modern. I use them in place of older ones. While there are stinkers the Ventrue logo (for example) is way more representative of the Clan with the gladius.
