What kind of obsessions or hobbies would vampires or other undead have? They don't need to worry about time so money or the time needed to learn a skill wouldn't matter to them. Would they stay with the games/hobbies of their mortal youth or do you think they would gravitate to whatever would be popular in each era?
Obsessively scrolling the catalog and trying to police it. Just perfect.
Not undead, but still immortal, so the basic premise is the same. Arknights tackled this with the sui siblings. Each of them got fascinated by a facet of human culture, and decided to commit to it. From engineering, to the pursuit of art, to cooking, agriculture, commerce, you name it. The point is, you can have them obsess over something for all eternity (like liches usually do with magical knowledge), or chase the trends of mortal society to try and keep in touch with their former selves, or just the world in general.
>>97374598>asking for context that would help answer OP's nonsense questions is "catalog policing"You're fucking retarded.
>>97374648Why do you feel called out?
>>97374476I really like more gruesome stuff to fit undead. Partially aware zombies or skeletons that still eat food, rotted or otherwise, that either cause their stomachs to rupture in case of zombies or just linger in bits draped across bones for skeletons so they always smell terrible.
Hey thereI've decided to start a West Marches-style campaign on my LGS. It sounds the perfect style to run for a public setting w/ rotating players, but I myself have never DMed oneAny experiences, tips and advices regarding DM-ing/playing West Marches style games?Or general tips for running games on LGS ? For those unfamiliar with West Marches style, here is what google have to say about it:>Player-Driven Exploration: Players decide where to go and what to explore, venturing into unknown territory from a safe starting town.>Rotating Cast: A large pool of players participates, but different combinations of adventurers form parties for each session, preventing the need for a single regular group.>Sandbox World: The world is a sandbox, with the map and plot emerging as players discover new locations and rumors, rather than being dictated by the GM.>No Fixed Schedule: Sessions occur when players organize themselves, often on a voluntary basis.>Low GM Prep: The Game Master (GM) focuses on creating a world and potential encounters, responding to player choices, rather than crafting complex plots.>Self-Contained Sessions: Adventures are often designed to be resolved in a single session, with storylines evolving over time.Comment too long.

>there is now an internet community name for sandbox campaign figure it out as you go mapswelp, there goes the only kind of campaign i like to run anymore now that everyone will have pre set expectations because muh west marchums. fuck me i guess.
>>97373422>absolutely nothing like a West MarchesWell, considering that Google's definition (made up of whatever the internet consensus is) has 6 definitions:>1. Exploration Focus: A sandbox world with uncharted areas that players map and discover as they venture out.>2. Persistent, Shared World: Actions by one group affect the world for others, creating a dynamic, evolving environment.>3. Hub & Spoke Model: Adventures start and end in a safe, central location (like a town or guild), with characters returning there between sessions.>4. Episodic/Serialized: Sessions are often self-contained adventures (like one-shots) that build upon each other, making it great for new GMs. All of these (4 out of 6) definitions are un-arguably part of what we are doing>5. Player-Driven Scheduling: Players organize sessions among themselves and the GM based on availability, rather than a fixed weekly time.>6. Large, Fluid Player Pool: Accommodates many players (even 50+) by having different groups play at different times, all part of the same world.Out of these, item 5 is also valid because A) this core group as 3~5 players that maybe be present at a given day, and B) we often do guests that may play a session here and there. And 6 because I'm planning to keep this the same world as the one from the LGS, so actions wouldn't be contained just between those few players (I wouldn't call WM if it was just the core group, to be a proper WM experience it should have at least 10+ players overall)But please do enlighten me how a definition that matches 6 out of 6 criteria is "nothing like it"Comment too long.

>>97373447>nowWest Marches is from 2008 (the blog post explaining it; it was run in 2003), Anon. Hexcrawls (which is what you actually mean) have existed since 1974.
>>97374320>I'm going to just ask a Google robot to hallucinate a definition instead of looking at the blog of the guy who came up with it, where he spent a ton of effort defining it
>>97374697The definition the community takes, in the end of the day, ends up being more relevant than the definition of the original post ~20 years ago. Google gay robots, as gay as they are, provide you with basically an unholy amalgamation of what the internet has been posting. Thus, it is actually a decent quick portrait of what the overall consensus is. You're bait so you obviously know by this time I've watched & read tons of guides and seen pretty much all the popular definitions of this genreBut ok, if you want to go RAW, let's do it:>arsludi lamemage com, article #78, grand-experiments-west-marchesWe have 3 pillars:>1. There was no regular time: every session was scheduled by the players on the fly.>2. There was no regular party: each game had different players drawn from a pool of around 10-14 people.>3. There was no regular plot: The players decided where to go and what to do. It was a sandbox game in the sense that’s now used to describe video games like Grand Theft Auto, minus the missions. There was no mysterious old man sending them on quests. No overarching plot, just an overarching environment.Let's start with point 3. My game obviously satisfy this criteria because its a sandbox, there's no quest giver, there's no overarching plot. I started off giving 3 rumors for practical reasons: this is the first session, players are dumb AND not accustomed with having that level of agency. Through a party that has 20-year tradition of regular plot-driven campaigns into a sandbox without a plan is asking for disaster. Thus, I provided 3 rumors they could follow, with no promise they would work outPoint 2 is basically impossible to achieve w/ 1 session, since basically anything above 6 players is crazy for a single session. Nevertheless, considering we have +2 people that would join that party later and at least +6 coming in next Tuesday on the LGS, we would have, at minimum, 11 players accounted for. Thus, mathematically proven ( 10 < 11 < 14 )
>Dark elves exist to be evil elves>There's occasionally orcs that are noble savages rather than pillagers>Even dwarves have some evil equivalents like chaos dwarfs in warhammer and whatnotWhat would a "Dark" equivalent to gnomes be like? How do you corrupt a little jolly bearded man from the woods into something evil?
>>97353846Look into deep gnomes or svirfneblin or whatever they're called in your setting/ruleset. They're already a thing.However, you can always just have a character be evil and not a separate race.My Pathfinder guy is a gnome that wants to be a magical overlord, and I use Veigar (pic related) as a portrait/inspiration.

Can someone here explain why every player at lichess that loses a game refuses to resign? Instead, they wait for the clock to run out; why? Is this part of chess culture now? And then, if they lose, they ask for a rematch. But if you ask for a rematch, very rarely do they agree. WTF is their fucking problem? Goddamn passive aggressive faggots.

>>97373207>yeah they don't process individual effects as an actual whole individual effect and others effects can interrupt it.To be fair that's because there ARE interruptive effects in digimon and those fuckups are basically concessions to the fact that they had to code for interruptives (protection mostly)
>>97373235yeah but interruptive effects are uncommon enough that you can just specifically flag them and don't let other effects activate.this is only a problem if you didn't think through what you were making and these were band-aids to late additions to the game you needed to design around to make work, which isn't the case at all. you know interruptive effects exist, you should design you sim around them, no other card game simulators have this issue despite having more complex state based activation.this isn't an "oops an off by 1 error snuck through" its a failure at the fundamental design level

>>97369751Yeah. They're more blase about doing wild shit because their bodies are invincible, like the cryptek who remembered she could spacewalk across the surface of a sun because her body would last (180 seconds) longer than the spacewalk (100 seconds) in that instance, or when Obryon went super saiyan at the cost of his memories, because Zandrekh would just re-tell him the stories. They also have hangups over biological waste, it's their worst curse word (khertt). They also think humans are weird for having one biological component that combines excretion and reproduction.>>97370317Brazil is great, and it gets wild.

>>97370551Like the second guy said, geneseed almost certainly has an effect based on legions like the Thousand Sons and Blood Ravens both having abnormally high amounts of psykers/being all psykers in the case of the TSons
Which is greater? The number of Sisters of Battle or Space Marines? Sisters of Battle aren't limited to a thousand per chapter like Space Marines but there are more groups of Space Marines than Sisters of Battle. Do we have any cannon numbers on this?
>>97374547Space Marines. There's six big orders of Sisters, and their numbers are usually given at 20,000 to 40,000 if I'm remembering correct.

>>97374664Allow me to autistically hyperfixate on a joke in the funny meme pic:"χρῑστός" (Khrīstós) isn't his name, but his title in Greek, translated from the jewspeak "מָשַׁח" (Mashákh: later evolving into Moshiach/Messiah). The name Ἰησοῦς (Ĭēsoû: later evolving into Iesus/Jesus) is the Hellenized version of יֵשׁוּע (Yeshu: later evolving into Yoshua/Joshua) means "salvation", because like all such fictional stories, the characters are commonly named after their purpose in the story.Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

1. Good lore2. Balanced gameplay3. Robust tournament support 4. Emphasis on activated abilities and single entity hero units/monsters5. High accessibility.

>>97372694I mean, yeah! Look at these guys!All they need is a staff and a willingness to act like a fool in public to complete the look.>>97372615FFG never stated that race, but honestly I think either Sakiyans or Arkanians will probably work fine.Still need to decide what they’d point to and think “that’s a goblin”, or “that’s a Kobold”, and I especially need to figure out what species they’d think were gnomes.Through with some time, I’m suspecting that if they think Trandoshans are Dragonborn, then they probably think Wookies are bugbears. And I am definitely having them associate droids with the undead, (so anytime local adventures talk about battling zombies or skeletons, know they were likely fighting droids)But one bit of… serendipity I want to put in was that the ship that rediscovered these “Dungeon worlds” was a Lucrehulk named: TFS Sigil (“TFS” standing for “Trade Federation Ship”)
>>97373020>WEG is loved by many here, but I've seen anons say they find it a bit clunky by modern standards.

It didn't even require initiative rolls or have ammo limits on weapons originally.

>>97369252>most competentThe first thing she did on getting free was dump them in a trash compactor that first nearly killed Luke via dianoga and then would have killed all of them if not for R2-D2 pullong their asses out of the fire. Again.Then she bitched at Han about shooting the dianoga in case someone would hear. And nobody heard.
>>97374368NTA, but the rescue was completely bungled from the start, and it ended up with Obi-Wan force ghosting himself. Luke just came in as a complete rookie who had no clue and went with what felt right, Han ultimately just wanted to GTFO and get the reward money (long shot, but if Jabba wants you dead anyway why not risk it all?)And they were just allowed to leave so that the Empire could find the Yavin base, so the whole 'recue' was allowed to play out with Tarkin ordering in a few stormies so thatit would not feel to easy.If you want to see Leia being competent, she shows that on Hoth. Or when she strangles Jabba. Or when she calmly loads the Death Star plans into a droid while her ship is actively being boarded.

>>97374240only played galactic cruise. i have a somewhat higher opinion of it than sweetland, but only moderatelyone preference for GC is the ability to get that one extra resource/action/etc when it's really desperate. It's nice to be able to finish something without needing to plan 100% exactly. you can cut corners a bit, but there is a premium. sweetlands in contrast can feel very high on arithmetic. your resources are granular, and you need to be precise with their deployment. neither action system is innovative, but i find the action system in Sweetlands to be actively boring. Spending one card or more per turn to fuel actions doesn't feel like multi-use cards, it feels like a slowly deflating balloon. when other players block your spot and force you to spend more cards, it can be actually crippling because you essentially lose a whole turn if you didn't prepare with a planned action or have money for another space. you might enjoy this element of interaction, however i think it feels too impactful for how incidental it is. most of the time people just want the space because it's good for them and didn't think about you at all. GC on the other hand the interaction is positive, so you're instead trying to think of how to not help other players too much to do what you need to do. it's a simple inversion, but to me it actually feels more relevant to making decisions. in both games you get to efficiency max and plan, but there's more resources to contest over in GC like guests to advertise, resource silos, and cards in the market. i like that these need to be replenished and someone gets rewarded for doing so. both games do shared achievements that all players want to get, but in Sweetlands the first player to grab it takes it away from everyone. In GC, you can still complete those goals, but being slower is definitively worse. Up to taste, but if i get beat by one turn to an objective because of player order i'm just annoyed. overall GC feels better developed

>>97373747I don't think his games are awful, but the shelf space/quality of the game ratio is not good enough to be worth owning any of his games.

The quality of components is great imo. The game itself? I don't know. I only played the Gallerist, which was good but I was more impressed with the production of the game than the gameplay, and KanbanEV which was also ok, nothing wrong with it but for 150 it feels lacking.
Previous thread: >>97295718GURPS 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's the best classic GURPS cover art?
>>97371234"Q: What rules are in the addenda you mentioned?A: The preview PDF on the book's web page will include the table of contents, but in brief: favorite new advantages, modifiers, perks, and techniques; expanded treatments of alternative abilities, Talents, disadvantages, and skills (regular and wildcard); widely used rules for equipment, such as cost factor (CF) and batteries/power cells; additional options for success and Influence rolls, physical and mental feats, extra effort, and other actions; more maneuvers, hit locations, and optional modifiers for combat; and entire systems useful on adventures, such as Assistance Rolls (AR) and Basic Abstract Difficulty (BAD). Space limits excluded multi-page advantages (like Control and Create) and additional chapter-length systems (like Ritual Path magic)."
