I asked on the mech general but figured here was a better place. What's a good ruleset for something much more near-scifi and grounded looking? Where mechs are small and more of support units and combined arms is still the focus. There are tons of systems in the OP, both specific to a setting and generic
>>94217885Heavy gear, but generic? I mean with all the allied CEF stuff you get all kinds of near sci fi stuff, from power armors and clone super soldiers, Drones, biped robots, quad mechs, tanks and hover tanks for that sweet hammer slammer flavor, Electronic warfare, hugh mechs in the striders, VTOLs, helis and planes...The setting is also neat.There are very generic mass battles ones, but they aren't very granular.
>>94217902It's something I've considered already, yeah. It will take some work with the weapons being the average anime assortment, and mechs being loaded to the gills with weapons and melee. It's doable though a bit of a chore. I was curious to know if an established setting and ruleset was already there
>>94217954I... I really don't see much anime in Heavy Gears, apart of being inspired in Votoms and some bright colored hairdos in girls.The majority of weapons are quite solid and near future enough, the most exotic being gladiator ones like the leash for mechs or the particle canons from the CEF.
>>94218095Oh it's mostly about the names and mandatory gamey categories. Even then, aside from lasers and particles, some stand out to me as anime, as in, weapons that are cool and fun to use, but only because the mechs are using upscaled infantry guns: frag cannons as giant short range shotguns instead of an airburst AC or GLs, snubs as the mandatory high damage short range gun, regular mech-scale semi-auto rifles, fifteen different flavors of missiles (ATGMs, bazookas, rockets, AVGM, ABM).By all means, I love heavy gear but I hope you can understand what I mean.

>>94217172Oh. The answer doesn't really change substantially for me with my Virtual World/Kashtira build, though it'd be down to Unicorn or Ogre since they were cheaper when I built it rather than Unicorn and Fenrir. I'd run Diabellstar too since their levels give me easybake Chengying access while she'd also be able to set up Nyannyan or Qinglong, but she's way more expensive. Anyway, after those self-summoners deal with the body, it's just a matter of out-grinding.Lately I've been farting around with Virtual World/Tenpai though, which doesn't have an answer to that build. Tradeoff is that I get to trick people into thinking that I screwed up a play when I've actually just been seeding my board with synchro material. Lulu/Nyannyan to give Tenpai the levels for Level 9 synchros, Chundra to give Virtual World the levels for Chengying. Meanwhile I can toss in Mist Wurm and Trishula for the sheer sake of it, and best of all nobody can really expect that for game 1. Half my side deck is Xyz monsters too, just in case I get D.Barrier'd.
>>94213497Everyone vote for Launcher Spider
>>94217273Also, I suppose that if I were looking to win that turn and I put ALL of the cards together (including the missing Diabell), I could do like>Kashtira Ogre>Diabellstar>Sangen Kaimen>Emergency Teleport>2 inconsequential cards (let's say Qinglong and Ghost Ogre)>Summon Kashtira Ogre (for damage)>Summon Diabellstar discarding Qinglong (second attack to bait out Mirror Force)>-800(7200) from Ogre's attack, as Mirror Force would be negated>Mirror Force resolves, preventing Diabellstar's attack>Sangen Kaimen searching+summoning Chundra (Droll likely resolves here but it is inconsequential if I'm going for game)>Chundra attack (-1500)(5700) + effect to summon Paidra (-1700)(4000)Macro Cosmos is face-up on the field, thereforeComment too long.

Our beloved hobby is in dire trouble. /tg/ hasn't gotten shit done for a decade at least, and the most autistic, dysfunctional losers essentially control discussion here. Every other community has its own severe problems, or is so tiny replies take days. 5.5e looks terrible and Hasbro wants to further monetize it. It feels like fewer and fewer people actually play games, wherever you go, and the rise of terrible practices like paid GMs only exacerbate the issues.How can we save tabletop gaming? I just want to have fun again. My group is good, but a new group worth playing in is nearly impossible to find.

Now it's just a sad shell of its former self. I'm pretty sure I'm partly to blame. I trolled the shit out of this board for years. I'd post an image that just said "Why are you still a virgin" and would get at least 200 replies every time. I'd start flame wars between 4e and 3.5 constantly and argue for both sides until people were really screaming at each other. I'd just call people retards and faggots randomly. It wouldn't surprise me if I single handedly brought in nazi mod. One of his first actions was to ban me and sticky one of my threads as an example of exactly what he was going to ban.

So I want my players to use guns cause it's a blackpowder setting but already one has switched to a bow cause I'm an idiot and I left bows as a weapon that some people still use.How do I incentivize them to use guns without getting into minie ball rifles, breech loaders, and revolvers? I don't want to rewrite the setting to be there already, cause then also there plate will be alot less useful and make them feel bad, plus it would be kinda janky to do that even though the campaign just started.I was kinda hoping they would do the normal blackpowder thing where you shoot then charge but I think the rest are just gonna start asking for bows too.Since they're all gonna be in plate(which looks pretty heavy in the low tech book so at least it slows them a little?) and at least some of their enemies are professional troops, I was thinking about putting them up against skirmishing line infantrymen and some groups of rifle using scouts here and there to drive home the damage potential that guns offer in comparison to bows(cause it looks like in damage even blackpowder muskets outdamage bows by a lot) but I'm afraid to do that cause I think they might just all die and that's no fun.Here's the biggest thing I guess, as I understand it, pretty much everyone switched to guns as soon as they could get them, even indians grabbed guns over bows whenever possible muzzleloading era, so what advantage did even those guns have and how do I model it?I remember Franklin asked for bows for the continental army and the rest of the founders just ignored him like he was a smart friend who stepped out of his field of expertise and now sounded like an idiot but they didn't want to insult him with a reality check.I'm not super worried I guess most of my maps start at close range anyways so sticking to ranged weapons past the first volley is likely nonsensical(they barely had time to pull pistols) but still.This is a little idiotic but it's my first time running a game so pls be kind
>>94217535Seems legit. It's a major difference between being able to do many things and only being able to do one thing.>>94218155GURPS bows are pretty cinematic. You can nerf them with Harsh Realism for Ranged Weapons (Low-Tech p. 75) or use the realistic rules in The Deadly Spring (Pyramid 3/33). I think there are rules somewhere for bows getting worse in bad weather and the like too, but can't remember where. It's certainly realistic for them to require almost as much care around water as firearms.If you don't want to nerf bows, nor introduce better firearms, you need to give guns a bit of a buff elsewhere. Most of the optional rules around guns make them worse, but you could introduce fright checks for being shot at with loud, flame-belching weapons without straining credibility.
>>94218281I'll have to check out the pyramid.I somehow skimmed over the accuracy and malfunction stuff in LT but now that I know I'm def gonna include that stuff.I'd be okay with nerfing bows a bit, so long as it's not to a degree that feels subjectively lacking in authenticity to me.The harsh realism rules feel authentic though and that helps a little bit.

His new plot about collecting all of the Infinity Stones being his actual goal is just lame. The monumental effort of getting Chaos to work together shouldn't be understated when your lieutenants are named Rapist McBabyfucker and Kharn the fucking Betrayer.

The elves and dwarves and fae and djinn are just regional variations of lesser spirits and their vessels and they do not like sharing their mother world with their way younger ape cousins but a prometheus knock off taught the apes how to forge weapons and it's pretty dangerous to prosecute war against them now so instead they usually just try to psyop the apes into an heroing and make use of the very rare human-passing half elf(most half-elves are just sasquatches)Elf human pairings usually occur as a result of raids by either side, occasionally it happens via courting instead, but it is rareIn the cases it does happen with an elf male, it is not uncommon for elven warriors or heroes to take up human women who are especially beautiful or in possession of a personality or outlook they find vexxingIn the cases it does happen with an elf female, she's usually been charmed by a human hero or wiseman who's risen to a level of skill and capability that he may be seen as equal or even superior to more common elvesAll human elf pairings are still exceedingly rare and outside the norm.They're extremely spiteful and cruel at heart but they wear a mask of whimsy and joy that rarely, if ever, slipsThere are tensions between the djinn and the rest of them because the djinn are super salty about getting shit land to watch overThey use humans as pawns to get stuff done for them and occasionally play them against other elf polities and especially against snake people and occasionally crocodile people which are other problem groups they wanted to get rid of before the apeshowOh also they're all individuals so maybe a few of them differ greatly from everything I just said but this is the norm in my setting

>>94218051Oh yeah, with no support for that terrain the official rules don't make it Scalable anymore. A ladder, 7" Move, or other movement-boosting effects sure open up a lot more in that killzone.

Still not sure what base system to use, maybe just d&d 5e since that's the only fantasy system where I played a full (regular) campaign in?My main annoyance is that I hate the whole "magic everywhere" theme.

Alright, bogpill me on Heavy Gear list building. What are the basics one should keep in mind? The massive amount of choices is somewhat overwhelming, even with just a starter 50 point game.
>>942180341. The main polar factions have 4 main 'classes' for the gears: grunts, elites, heavies, and ecm guys.2. The 3 main sources of defense are cover, ecm, and smoke. Being out in the open is begging to be fragged.Here's a simple, well-rounded 50tv group:2 jager gunners (grunts)Mamba gunner (elite)Blackbox iguana (ecm guy)Bushmaster cobra (heavy)Play it, see how it fits, think about how you'd like to expand on it and go from there.
>>9421803450TV is kinda nice in that you don't have to stress about combat group roles much. Just pick what objective you feel like and units that you help you achieve it. GP units and objectives are decent ones to start out with.What I might go starting out is the basic trooper unit of each faction so for norf it's Hunters. The Terranovan factions all have a hunter equivalent so just use those in place. Colonies get slightly more complex but i'd say their basic trooper mecha would be Earth: F6-16, Caprice: Acco, Utopia/Eden: Constable APE. In a combat group you'll always at least want one unit to be the group leader. Generally you'll also want them to dawn whatever commander upgrade or have a unit specialized for commanding. Hunters with the Headhunter upgrade is a good place to start.If you find yourself with extra TV left over you can always go for upgrades. Smoke is always a good one for when you need an immediate defensive option. Veteran is a good TV filler. It will give units an extra skill point and opens up options for even more upgrades such as dual welding weapons or adding additional melee brawling or ECCM. Also generally doesn't hurt to have a second in command for 1TV.There's a helpful page at the end of the 3.1 book for upgrade references to help out with building a combat group out.
>>94218126Oh, forgot to mention: models with ecm+ have their defense buff turned on permanently, without needing to spend an action. Always useful to have.Good to have a source of defense (via smoke/ecm) for each CG.
>>94218126>>94218169>>94218144Got it, going with 10 Lynxes + 2 stripped down Hunters.All stuff aside, I was thinking of tattletale weasel (commander), a jaguar (elite), two hunter gunners, strike para cheetah (ecm), and strike mad dog R (heavy). The mad dog is the cheap out heavy considering I went with 6 gears and reasonably expensive ones too, but hey, it's a cool mech in BT so why not pick it here too. Alternatives would be the tiger, bear or dingo, if I substitute the cheetah for a cheaper ECM guy (a Ferret), or go with 5 gears.Weasel for commander? I can see it's a frail gear but hey, it looks cool, has good electronics and seems suited enough for being an order slut. The one I'm not sure about is the Jaguar, doesn't speak to me much even though the TNs are good.Absolutely no points left for customization, but it's fine by me, less of a headache.
