What is the general consensus on this? Is the 2d20 mechanic dogshit? Am I better off using one of the many Fallout homebrews or something like Exodus or Ashes Without Number?
>>97187838I like the 2D20 system and think this is the best entry game for introducing people to 2D20.However, as a Fallout game, it's good if you want to emulate Fallout 4 and 76 as a tabletop. If you're looking for something more like the Interplay Fallouts, you're better off with one of the other ones, yeah.
>>97187838Its dogshit. It expects you to use the game to emulate the explore-loot-craft gameplay loop of the latter fallout games. There are a lot of character mechanics tied into this. The expectation is that GMs are going to use tables to build random encounters, and give the PCs random loot that they can craft and cook into shit. This is a core system.Those encounter tables aren't included in the core book, they are in a separate 30 dollar GM kit. Aside from being a fucking stupid idea in the first place (people don't want a fallout game so they can live out the dream of looting garbage from empty houses to upgrade their guns), it's poorly implemented ON PURPOSE to force you to buy a separate product. And this is alongside of all the usual editing and layout problems that every single modipheus product has. That company should collectively speed fuck themselves with a hot chunk of rusty rebar, they are the wii-shovelware of the rpg industry.
>>97187838It's shit because it tries to emulate BETHESDA Fallout games. Just play the videogames, you'll still have a shitty time (unless you're a retard normie), but at least you won't be subjecting other people to the shitty time.
>>97187838are ANY of the Modiphius games actually good?

>>97187848It's a solid game that's unique enough to stand out and has world building that isn't just "40k/Star Wars again"I like how Stargate it is, it lets the skirmish scale make sense

>>97188264With how well Warcaster was received and the hype it generated, I'm still shocked they blew it with yet another awful Warmachine launch
>>97188306I mean it's not blowing when Mk4 is the reason they got as good of a deal as they had, the company was dead since COVID. Riot Quest and Warcaster only prolonged their life on lifesupport.
>>97188320They had some decent momentum with Warcaster, but the horrible print quality for 4th ed Warmachine killed a lot of the lukewarm hype it generated
Besides Middle Earth, are there setting with a monotheistic God but has powerful deity like entities who may or not be worshiped?
>>97186607>It's weird how even the super anti-christian writers always eventually gravitate to "There is one God above all gods who directs the setting"No it's not, they're mostly jews; they just think it's Satan.
>>97186673Yes, but that's largely because Ao doesn't want to be worshipped. 99% sure it's because having the one and only actual God on your side would be OP as fuck and doesn't work with the system. If the other gods can be removed willy nilly why even bother unless the real one insists you do, for gameplay reasons.
>>97187853>He's beyond the alignment system!>He also ruthlessly enforces the rules and makes sure everyone follows their correct roles and prevents evil deities from destroying the world.
>>97186607Because that's actually a very, veyr old and pre-christian idea. In fact, every single religion throughout history has had some form of "primordial unity". The Christians were not unique in that regard.

Creating or experiencing a story/narrative? Challenge and competition? Novelty? Mastering a system? Immersive theme and artwork? No wrong answers>What boardgame do you think has the most percentage of sold but unplayed copies? Hobby boardgames only, so no risk/monopoly etc.
>>97187586>Creating or experiencing a story/narrative? Novelty? Mastering a system?Each of these is a wrong answer.Personally, I like games where you have to predict what other players want to do.
>>97187586>Will our based autist do another end of year stats gathering editionI am holding back my particular case of the 'tisms until January, but yea, I will surrender to the compulsion soon.What is the most fun to you? Creating or experiencing a story/narrative? Challenge and competition? Novelty? Mastering a system? Immersive theme and artwork? No wrong answers.Good question OP. I'm not quite sure. Exploration certainly plays a role. Figuring out a character/army, the synergies of a combo lying in wait, the surprises of a game with tons of randomness and upsetting bullshit (cough cough doomrock you glorious bitch cough). It drives me to the next match, next weeks session, looking up and engaging with community discussion. But i also enjoy seeing the interlocking systems unfold. Seeing an unstable west in europe because we never unlocked new trade routes, plundered trade fairs, and sicced so many religious wars and conspiracies that Kings are swapping left and right and Empires with a slew of vassals underneath are nigh impossible to hold onto. I enjoy spending a moment and reflecting on the end state of a game like this, be it Pax Ren and Spirit Island. I really latch onto the theme by way of thinking: *we* did this, we made the east a wealthy powerhouse, the island a devastated wasteland through our will and petty wrath made manifest on both whitey and the natives, or made these suburbs an inflationary hell hole of 40$ burgers that can only ever be paired with Lemonade. Our compiled choices did this.Thank man, I enjoyed ruminating over the Q.>What boardgame do you think has the most percentage of sold but unplayed copies? Hobby boardgames only, so no risk/monopoly etc.Honestly, Wingspan. I can see a lot of people try to dip their toes into the hobby, see pretty birds, buy despite the price tag, friends/family cannot understand the teach (not they the owner really knows what they're doing) and it rots in a closet somewhere ever after.
>>97187606>Yes, I WILL use this image almost everytime I make a threadLemme help you with that
TQ: It is hard to explain but most fun to me is just 'feeling' something. Some games just have this special sauce to them where a couple things just click in the perfect way where I have a holy shit feeling while playing. Usually it happens when the actions I take don't feel like I'm playing a game and just making numbers go out, or fulfilling the arbitrary objectives.An example would be captains chair. I play picard and I collect alien homies and i put them on my ship and i develop my diplomacy skill and ignore military stuff because im a bro. And I play the andorian and I build a tableau of weapons and I capture all my home planets and build my little cargo collection and start fucking with my opponent.And all that stuff is mechanically well represented, smooth playing, it flows between decisions, its challenging, but evocative, I feel like Im playing the show, and thus I feel a glimmer of joy in my miserable life

Thread #01 Winter Wonderland.Welcome to /un0/, an RP thread for playing a World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness Hunter. For any OOC questions about WoD/CofD, check the official general. >>97089644Rules:>We are acephale. There is no storyteller, we are not a quest. >This thread is based primarily but not exclusively in the nWoD/CofD game Hunter: the Vigil. However, Vigil is defined by being highly setting agnostic, with a system for creating entirely custom monsters that do not exist in other WoD/CofD games. Thus, you have significant freedom in what you want to play and what you want to hunt. Feel free to play a member of the Society of Leopold, or a member of the Lucifuge hot on the tail of a Lasombra. >Namefagging is encouraged but by no means mandatory. >Keep in mind that even highly experienced Hunters typically only have fractured pieces of the puzzle, and every table has their own canon.

My leg has been better, but beggars can't be choosers.>>97185337I've been understanding the appeal reading through this tome I bought from a sketchy lawyer down in Florida. Some of it actually works, there's a little incantation to make a flame. Lot of spooky stuff though, I fear there may be an actual demon haunting this tome or something.>>97182817Glad to see you're alright friend. Good to see you're enjoying your safehouse as well. My group has made an effort to make it more comfortable as it looks like we'll be taking an extended leave from England. Who the hell is Leopold?>>97182626Does look very otherworldly. Was thinking it may have been Brazil or Yemen or some weird place, but I don't recognize the trees at all. Had a brief fascination with them back when I was making an exotic landscaping business in England. Unfortunately, government stopped me. And no one has much scapable land in London at least.
>>97185742>Who the hell is LeopoldIt's some myth about an ancient group of hunters, I'm guessing this Leopold (assuming he was real) would be some kind important figure to them. Honestly, makes you wonder why people need to come up with made up groups when there are real secret societies. Wonder where he heard about them though...

Why do DMs love putting paladins into 'you must fall' scenarios?
>>97180635In my games, usually the Paladins/Champions/whatever's personal quest is either redeeming another character or smiting something from their past in service to their godAnyone that fell did it intentionally to get the specific character stuff, pre-planned with the GM

>>97184171I actually agree. There is no merit in being a good man with a full belly, a warm bed and the company of smiling, loyal friends. To still hold that line when cold, wet, hungry, tired and surrounded on all sides by angry, accusing faces, holding weapons or just armed with 'society', is the real test of one's character.But it's only ever paladins who are thrown into that crucible. And that's because they're the only ones with explicit rules on what happens if they fail, and there are ... certain types who look on this as a target, not a plot hook.

Click here to view the full text.
>>97187983Seconding this question, because I've yet to hear from anyone that actually played it. The game has been out for a few years now!
>>97187638>actually crazy how good mecha action can look when they're not allowed to flyDude, there's plenty of good mecha action with flying mecha. Have you never watched Macross Plus? Muv-Luv? Majestic Prince? >Gundam Wing and SEED ruined mecha action foreverHow is it that I'm 55 and you're a grumpier old man than I am?? ...Oh, wait. This is /tg/, not /m/. There are tons of grognards here. Silly me.We should get this thread back to mecha gaming. It's Monday again, and this IS the mecha Monday thread. So!>>97092391>what's your preferred method of leveling up and improving your mechs and charactersWell, I dislike levels (and character classes, for the most part) so it's straight-up experience points for me. For characters, anyway. For their mecha, it'd be construction points. Depending on the game, the CP earned from playing can be spent on new weapons and other equipment packages for the next session/sessions, or banked for an eventual overhaul/redesign, or banked even more for a whole new robot to be introduced mid-season or so.
>>97183235I fear this conversation is quickly going to devolve into this discussion (pic related). I'll just say that I consider mecha to be giant (bigger than a city bus) mobile mechanical devices that are piloted, and I'll probably keep claiming that until you find the obvious plucked-chicken I missed and sarcastically tell me "Behold, a man.">>97185747>How dare you miss that my tastes are objectively superior!?Then this means war.>Full Metal PanicI really need to rewatch this. I remember really liking it as a kid and I barely remember anything, but from what I remember of it, I'd agree with you.>"Normies" are still hardwired to like patterns, they are just unwilling or incapable of recognizing itYeah, and that's exactly what I'm saying, but I'm going a step beyond that. They aren't really necessarily noticing "true" patterns, but rather just the patterns they feel they are cognizant of. And even within that scope, like I mentioned before, even normies who notice patterns actually dislike TOO much pattern. This is why normies hate it when "it's too predictable" who the killer is in a mystery movie, or "It's just the same 8 gyms" in a Pokémon game even if tons and tons of the elements are different.>Patterns = mastercraft quality>chaos = uninspired shitComment too long.

>>97187998Honestly that alone feels like a condemnation in of itself. If it were really good I'd think people would be more talkative about it. Not like Macross is really that niche or anything.
>>97188096You should fear being gay and wrong. Mechs are anthropomorphic. They need to have some kind of non-conventional element like legs or a head or hands. Heavy object isn't mecha. They're literally just tanks.>I'll just say that I consider mecha to be giant You just said votoms isn't mecha and you're gay and wrong.>if all you did was play a loud crunch sound and shake the screen + some motion blur from the explosion No, that's actually going to lead to players asking "why does the game keep shaking the screen and making loud noises and getting blurry?" because the cars are minuscule and hard to notice. You've shot out the other end and you think small immersive details should override everything else.
What's the logic behind this?I understand it was a simplification in Basic DnD, but why do some OSR games keep it?
>>97177089You can be effective without being optimized.
>>97177178If you're effective, you optimized, and optimizing is good.
>>97143427Sacred cow game design. They do it because Basic did it, and that's the only reason. OSR is just regurgitation of 40 year old mechanics that suck ass from a design and balance perspective.
>>97164805Racial exemplar is a good way to see it, dwarves adventuring with humans should be rare enough that most of them would be Fighters anyway, a Dwarf thief would be a rarity. Is there any game making Elf a Class but letting you be Elf 0 if you take a level in something more exotic?> Elf 1> Elf 0, Necromancer 1
>>97145382>seems like the sort of thing that would work out better in more modern editionsHonestly even 2ed had class Kits that could have been used for different flavors of elf/dwawrf/whatever.Sneaky, magical, martial or whatever. Could have even been used as a way to differentiate the different sub species.

>>97186441Looks cool
>>97186441It depends on the GM. I figure that if one was running a more orthodox game, it would be like having an entire party of nobles politicking and scheming with plenty of medieval courtly intrigue, before deploying out to stomp down entire armies. In comparison, most of our campaign was spent in dark heresy as literal nobodies scrounging for ammo and a place to stay before we discovered a lost house of knights, but when we finally suited up, we went from zero to 200 in a lance of robots straight out of pacific rim. After struggling to survive in a fight for your life, suddenly you're an invincible monster heroically charging forward and slaying superheavies and biotitans. It was a fucking rush.

How is the Horus Heresy presented to the plebs? Obviously they know it happened but the existence of traitor marines is a closely guarded secret as is the existence of the ruinous powers. So do they basically get the 2nd edition version when Horus was a mortal general whose Imperial Army troops betrayed the emperor? I know he's generally shown as a dragon being slain by the emperor.I only mention it because I was going to include a medieval style mystery play and was wondering how far to go propaganda wise i.e having the emperor pushing child Horus on a swing or having his minions on the vengeful spirit being auxila mooks while the emperor is flanked by dudes in foam Imperial Fist outfits etc
