It's kind of a wild west of platforms, but it's so diamond in the rough. Literally, it's probably a case study for why SEO is important.The last recommendation I had for something host there was like "Bad Sex" from a friend, and I'm like > A) "what" > B) "what"> "in the butt" replyand that's my fault, but I couldn't justify grabbing it, because that's a lunch and there's no reviews or preview about what's inside on the site itself. DTRPG has those features on the store front and it makes a huge difference.
speaking of stuff found on itch.io... I found this game called "Perfect Draw"... ...by the fact it mentions Playbooks means it's a PbtA/FitD/Forge group based system... mind if anyone could give a bit of a looksie to confirm these suspicions?

Lets have a thread on big weapons. Any systems where this is possible? Do you prefer a "realistic" approach or do you prefer anime shenanigans? Are PCs even allowed to use large weapons on foot, for that matter?
>>97096682Fixed.
Why would anyone use ludicrously sized swords if not going for an anime/jrpg feel? I mean, I can't think of any in western fantasy. The most is perhaps Warcraft's war hammers, but I bet it's more of a case of not doing math than wanting REALLY big weapons.

>>97096734I just don't think it's as fun with the current rhythm of the game and trying to beef them up further would likely erode that more (I'd probably play it nonetheless). The retrains would be kind of broken if transported back in time, but they still all feel too little too late. Magician of Black Magic is one of my favorite DM designs though, I'll give them that. It's all still neat.

I have encountered GMs who relied on copying and pasting AI-generated text before: https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/96077242/#96077242I have been seeing this more and more. For example, I joined this one Daggerheart game. The GM has been flip-flopping between simplistic sentences and LLM-generated text.Examples:>This game takes place in the world of Dispatch—a living, breathing city where danger erupts without warning and heroes are the thin line holding everything together. I’ll be your DM, but in this world, you’ll know me as your Dispatcher. I’m the voice in your ear, the one who tracks the chaos, the one who sends you and other heroes into the field when Manhattan needs you most.>Your missions will range from capturing dangerous villains to rescuing civilians, stopping escalating threats, uncovering hidden plots, or confronting unknown anomalies. Dispatch calls don’t wait. They hit fast, loud, and unpredictable. When that call goes out, you suit up, step forward, and answer it.>Using Daggerheart’s Duality system—Hope and Fear—we’re shaping a flexible, evolving ruleset that grows with both the world and your characters. Every mission will test your skills. Every choice will shape the city around you. And as the story unfolds, we’ll refine and expand the system together, adapting it to the heroes you become.>This is a world where your decisions matter, where Hope fuels your rise, where Fear pushes back, and where every Dispatch shapes the next chapter.

>>97097344Yeah that's AI generated. ChatGPT to be specific.
>>97097597Yes, the GM said:>No I only used the AI to help me correct any misspelling and condescending what I’m saying.This seems to be much more than correction of misspellings, though.

Click here to view the full text.
As a relatively new Lancer GM, the level up system is interesting but pretty obviously limited. You can always give players extra long missions to challenge them and limit their progression, but after a while, it gets a bit formulaic where they just get a level after every set of missions.I saw in one of the splatbooks that there's a system to use money instead to buy licenses/gear and skill points, that seems interesting but I imagine a lot of people would just power through to an optimal build first and mostly ignore character growth itself. Are there any mech RPGs out there that make you spend money on ammo like the AC games? Something like that would make for a dynamic where you could keep some cheaper and lower tech options around for dealing with problems more efficiently to make more money for upgrades. It would probably make book keeping a pain in the ass though.
>>97092391Wish there were more STL's of stuff like this.
He’s back
are there any mecha RPGs that still give mechanical depth to the mecha themselves (part assembly is my main thing) while having a focus on the out-of-mech parts as well? i've been looking recently but all i've been able to find is mech autism simulators with implied diplomacy RP or diplomacy simulators with PBTA mechs
>>97096337Heavy Gear has both but it doesn’t have full part assembly

>>97095773I also do not buy any WotC products, but my trans friend buys stuff for me because I think she thinks she has a chance with me.
Trying to think is there any way to realistically deal with enchantments in current red blue? Current deck kind of gets hosed by RIP and high noon.
>>97096950gee which of the 20 "bounce target nonland permanent" spells in blue do you want to usemaybe {U} instant with no extra mana cost?
>>97096973Ofc bounce get rid of the problem temporarily, I'm running some already. The issue largely comes down to it being control matchups that run these cards and I'm not about to beat them in a counter war. Bouncing high noonisn't so bad as I just make sure to whittle them until I can kill them in a turn. but RIP I don't quite fill the graveyard fast enough to make it worthwhile if I can't guarentee a counter which I often can't which is why I'm asking.
>>97096368lmao good game10/10, had funt. OP, your beloved
Personally I get really into character creation, where I plan how I want to build the character mechanically and how it all ties to my character's backstory. I haven't had a character die yet, but I'd probably be upset, even if I had a backup ready.How do you feel when your character dies? I feel like its good when a player is at least slightly upset about character death, but I understand if someone just only cares about the game mechanically and just rolls up a new character.
>>97086553It's often best to have two teams of player characters,One group as administrators and company owners,The others as the expendable frontline operatorsThis format allows for players to have long term investments in some of their characters, and the freedom to run their other characters like a stolen car (imo the best way to roleplay).In my experience folks who get too attached to their characters start being too protective with them, and too reserved in their actions and RP.It's good for a game to keep the risks and stakes high, players who engender passivity and avoid risk do not contribute well to this dynamic.I believe this is a contributing factor to the frequent slow and disappointing deaths of long-running games.I have found the home/away team dynamic works fairly well at both preserving the high risk excitement of new games, while also keeping the long term RP relationships and company goals of older gamesIf that dynamic is unavailable, I would always recommend playing characters you're not attached to, over players that you are.They're a stolen car, run them too fast, too hard, seek enjoyment out of breaking them to pieces. Make them live fast, burn bright, and go out in a dramatic bang
>>97086553A good fight, a good wound, a pile up of good life changing injuries, and a good death can all be part of a good story for a character. So as long as it's fun and the story is interesting I'm not bothered by it.
Everyone goes through grief on their first pc death.It gets easier after that
>>97086553I can't enjoy a game if I'm not really attached at my character.
>>97086553I make my characters with the expectation that I'll retire them or let them die but yeah, it's only natural to get attached a little bit especially if you had a story arc and changes cooked up in your mind
