Could it work in a /tg/ context? Say you used the Damaging Objects rules from the d20 System.
Agree with the above.

The big gimmick of the red faction games is environmental destruction which ports poorly to tabletop because environmental destruction was never a limitation in this format.
>>97344210Check the objects/hardness rules in your D&D 3.5 DMG (or just the SRD). They account for material, thickness, and resistances.
White Wolf died. But where's the replacements? DnD has hundreds of clones. But where are all the vampire/mage/werewolf clones? Is because DnD is more generic and easier to copy?
so apparently the order is>storyteller>storytelling>storypath>storypath ultra>>97340279>just read ~2000 pages of textyeah i will resort to that if i can't find the answers online. i got other things to do than read systems i might never ever get to play >>97340378apparently storyteller is the very first version too, which is impressive that they iterated on it and of the successors one is hated the other
>>97343530I hate to be the one to break this to you, but reading is the main way one learns games, it's kind of important, actually. If reading is so tough for you, you might want to reconsider your choice of hobby.
>>97343759RPGs are notoriously badly written, distilling information from them is a very time consuming act and i am grateful that i do not need to do it every single time. i also disagree that reading is the way to learn tehm, because playing it is how you actually get a feel for the game. something that only reading will not instill into you.
>>97340688oWoD had much more globetrotting metaplot silliness, in my experience

>>97343899I went with a more Spartan cooking honestly. Which in ancient times was described as being something non-Spartans considered traumatizingly awful, but Spartans themselves loved. Tasting History recreated one such Spartan stew and described it as bland with a metallic aftertaste if I remember correctly. The spin of New Mando cooking was to marry the Spartan-style cooking with what Galaxy’s edge considered mando cooking. And frankly it just felt right, I can imagine that with the new pacifist philosophy, traditional tests of courage and strength would be seen as taboo, so a more “socially acceptable” way to prove oneself might just be seeing how spicy of food you can handle before tapping out.
>>97344024Geonsians can be force sensitive and their larvae can be used to mind control hapless victims, or puppet corpses
>>97343023>>97343899>>97344038My take would be that Mandos have three style of cuisine>old-school cookingolder nordic/slavic-esque with influences of self-sufficient homestead cooking. Using all parts of animals/fish for stuff like bloodfood, bone broths, pickled fish, lots of hearty soups/stews. Big shared meals for important occasions like births. Lots of salt and acquired flavors that would weird out people who didn't grow up with it.>field/deployment cookingmix of MRE/nutricubes plus whatever you can trap and cook in a way that doesn't give way your position.>new-school cooking lots of fusion cooking blending different cultures into a melting pot of flavors. Some of the old style still hangs around but is supplemented with a lot of non-traditional ingredients and side dishesOr to break it down into easier concept, a christmas dinner example:>old style: smördgåsbord of 3-4 various styles of pickled herring, crisp bread, eggs with salted roe, salted fish and cold-cut meats, mustard-glazed ham or slow-cooked frozen moose roast and rice porridge >field: turkey MRE and beaver meat prepared in a smoke-diffused cooking pit >new style: smördgåsbord of a wild variety of pickled herring, sushi rolls, eggs with salted roe, deep-fried banana bread, cold-cut meats, turkey roast
>>97343023IIRC Wookiee food is mentioned to often be spicy as hell, to the point of potentially causing damage to the human digestive system, because they have a far higher tolerance of spiciness than humans (or possibly are unaffected by some spices entirely, like how capsaicin has no effect on birds because they lack the specific taste receptors it affects).
>>97344057I bet some scummy Corporate Sector MedTech company would experiment with drugs to keep geonosian larvae from outgrowing their larvae stage. Or some dark jedi/inquisitor would meddle with sith alchemy and make chrysalid version of geonosian larvae

>>97343648Which could also be a fun storyline "why is this experienced guy slumming it in a mortal kingdom?" Did he burn all his bridges and all of his friends are mad at him? Is he trying to make a point or is there something interesting about this particular kingdom? Is he in hiding?
>>97343648Fair enough. I could also see an Exalt with no personal interest in rulership sticking with his mortal kin, maybe his own descendants, or with the descendants of some long-dead friend, and offering them his counsel and support.
>>97341644Because in practice it's always joined to some petty smear against whatever exalt type.
>>97344172No, it's not. That's not true for the canon example of Scarlet Whisper serving the Perfect of Paragon, nor for the other canon example of the Guild employing Dragon-Blooded mercenaries, nor for Dragon-Blooded mercenaries in general, nor for any less canon, table-specific takes on the idea.

Previous thread: >>97215703GURPS 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 using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.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.Thread question: What are some systems or you would like to include or see included in a campaign, but haven't been able to? They don't have to be the main focus of the game, having them only as something on the side is okay.
>>97343405Pyramid 3/120 gives a fairly comprehensive system for converting 'real-world' data like 0-60mph times and curb weight into GURPS stats. The only things which is doesn't really cover in a systematic way are Handling and Stability Rating. So you can easily take the output of the VDS and get GURPS numbers out of it. As for Hnd/SR, I'm fairly sure there will be some stats called something like Manoeuvrability and Stability Factor which have a very simple relationship (probably 1:1) to the GURPS equivalent.I will personally make sure that there is a spreadsheet that you can use to do this if you can't be bothered to do the conversions yourself.
>>97343481>>97343469Makes sense. Also if the thing gets done couldn't the anon and Pulver try to make a deal with SJG to actually make it into an actual Gurps product? Most of the heavy lifting would already be done by that point.
>>97343658>Most of the heavy lifting would already be done by that point.Most of the heavy lifting has already been done, and SJG aren't interested. They insist that it has to be edited by their editor and laid out by their layout people and turn a profit (not unreasonable, I suppose) and they didn't think those would really be possible.

>>97339958Google image search to find a merge of Monica Bellucci and Megan Fox's faces somebody made, there are many because they're rather similar actresses, it looked like an old PhotoShop without the use of AI.I uploaded it to Sora (ChatGPT), it's actually not a violation of ToS because the merged face isn't a real woman btw, then Remixed it (i.e. edited it) by prompting only once (better than going through many prompts, it stops looking like said actresses) for: blue-green eyes with gold flecks, longer saturated bright red hair, hair covering and hiding both ears, a black fox fur coat, and a faint smug smirk. Incidentally, the smirk made the jaw less manly.I never tried this before so I needed many attempts to figure out what I want and how to get it.Again, I only had the pic edited, not generated, also mentioning the names of real people in a prompt is a no no.Finished by editing the edit with Affinity to adjust contrast, saturation and lighting, the paid version has AI tools but I'm not paying for those.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere. And as we enter this happiest and newest of years, remember: 2e was never an old-school game, bait is for reporting, and fish is for smoking! Happy new year, grogs!Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started.

Fishfag returned, I see. Shame, although very funny at the same time that he knows how comprehensively he's failed.
>>97343686Sadly he's realized that starting 'OSR - Fish edition' is never going to work and therefore he's back to whining, seething and pretending not to understand things.
>>97343837>pretending not to understand thingsDon't attribute to malice what can more parsimoniously explained by fishfag being a mentally defective subhuman with a severe case of literal clinical autism.
>>97343916>Don't attribute to maliceOr rather don't attribute to _pretence_. The subhuman retard is malicious, there's no doubt about it.

people just don't have the space they once had. i last played D&D around (effectively) a two-person card table in a cramped 'board game cafe'. 20 years earlier it was on the same fuckhuge workbenches in a warehouse the Warhammer nerds were building entire Minas Tirith cities on.nowadays...that space alone could be an entire flat/bedsit some student would pay to live in. or for a business, that's an INSANE amount of space for storage, whether it's in a shopfront or out back. owners don't have that any more. why would you effectively sublet an area like that for free? because they really like Warhammer...?

>>97333455>>97336630You doing illustrations of different weapons and soldiers in your setting has inspired me to do the same, even though I mostly focus on space stuff, though I don't do it very often (This is the latest one I did, after someone asked me to complete a set of similar pictures for all the main factions of the setting).

GURPS Space 4e has a detailed alien generator, which I turned into a Python program here: https://www.online-python.com/FcrCEyQbiw . Throne of Salt has some good tables for planet generation, particularly this one: https://throneofsalt.blogspot.com/2019/10/mothership-planet-generation.html .
