Netrunner fags, I found some MtGgers to play with, how meh are the starters for Nisei? I played lightly years ago so it's no problem with the teach, more trying to avoid drowning them while also not boring them
are the following ruling for a card game good or they're too unfair or silly?>you can destroy a card in the other player's mana zone ( so he has less mana)and>you can chose to draw a card or put it in your shield zone ( so you always have life points/shield)

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.

paizo, just make a generic class archetype that can turn any fullcaster into a gish like battle harbinger ffs
>>97341265Impossible because classes gain proficiencies at different levels.>Battle Harbinger>gish
>2eSo i was invited to play season of ghosts with free archetype, as i am not wanting to spoil myself i was wondering if anyone could help me settle on which class to playi was thinking a orc base dragonblood. im torn between going for a dragon barbarian for the full dragon theme or going a str melee ranger.With the Draconic codex stuff it would likely be sovereign dragon with the barbarian focusing on unarmed bites/grapples. but ranger also seems easy to fit and slot in narratively
>>97341408can't the just say "You have such and such starting proficiencies instead of your base class ones. You don't gain class features that increase your proficiency in saves, perception, weapons and armor. Instead you gain these features..." or something?

>>97344555Get fucked, bootlicker.
>>97330394It ain't that deep. The many flavors of Spess Muhreens are just cool themes to make them stand apart and sell codicies. We have and entire chapter of mongolians, a whole chapter of vampires and even had a whole chapter of Africans. We have Knights Templar in both Crusades and Davinci Code flavors. We even have an Admech chapter. Space Wolves were the vikings, it stands to reason they should probably stay distinct in their themes and general look instead of just being Ultramarines that swapped laurels for pelts. But hey, I'll probably just continue to ignore it and the dindu heads can remain on the sprues
What do you think of it? It's basically Fallout with furries (Kipo didn't have robots or guns).
Prefer Vaults of Vaarn.
>>97340263He's a great GM the way that John Wick insists he was a great GM. Long-term palladium loyalists also tend to be the most retarded faggots imaginable. All the worst aspects of the BrOSR, but for a system that is objectively fucking terrible and a guy who is genuinely one of the worst assholes in the RPG industry.
>>97340488The difference is that the only stories we get about John Wick's prowess as a GM are dubious accounts from himself. Several people have written glowing accounts of Uncle Kev's games back in the day.
>>97340739And others have said that he'd just railroad people and shut down any ideas that weren't part of his plot, and treated all players with contempt, as if they were trying to ruin his game. Not that his own writing in his own books doesn't already paint a pretty vivid picture of the exact kind of jackass he was at the table.
>>97340263>>97340488>>97340739>>97342098He has also freely admitted that he doesn't use his own rules as written, yet refuses to update to a 2nd edition because "It's not needed/is perfect the way it is".If it's so perfect Uncle Kev, why don't YOU use it as written?

>>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
>>97344236They could.But I think they’d hit the same core problems that prevented their ever being a geonisian Jedi or Sith:1) no Geonosian hive would ever willingly give up its larvae, not unless it benefited the hive in some way. Jedi weren’t keen on tying to stage some commando raid into a hive to get a force-sensitive grub. And I wonder how many times a slimy “totally not umbrella” corp is willing to throw away on failed raids to get Geonosian Larvae before they deem it a waste of funds.2) questionable loyalty: Geonosians have a hive mind. Well, each Geonosian colony has its own self contained hive mind. So even if one were to genetically alter a larvae so it never matures into adulthood, there’s always going to be a question of whether or not the grub is following your command, or it’s original hive’s

>>97343794>>97343840>One thing I always thought was cool was the ability to "analyze" an enemy for many roundsYep, nothing similar to that and longer than a full action aim seems to be a default option in DH-related systems.>I also really like the many different mundane methods for characters to work together in combatSomething similar might be found in the Inquisitor's Handbook for DH1E (and maybe in OW too), but it's not likely to be as much.>When I look through the rules, it seems like there are more ways to get bonuses to hit during combat than for bonuses to noncombat skills in peaceful situations, which feels backwards to me.Indeed, more effort was put into disassembling combat into separate modifiers than into disassembling non-combat activities the same way (as opposed to simply giving a range of total mods and telling the GM to pick).
>>97343946>Something similar might be found in the Inquisitor's Handbook for DH1EAlright, I'll look into it and see if I can recommend anything to the soon-to-be GM. Thanks.
>>97337478No. The Emperor said none of those.The "Burn the Heretic, Kill the Mutant, Purge the Unclean" is the result of ten thousand years of setting brainrot.The idea it's anything else, is just fan circle brainrot, supported because BL are too hack-ish to write anything not about Astartes killing bad guys, or remembering that 40k motifs weren't common in 30k.>Alien.Permitted if they're amicable. Issue was, Dark Forest theory answered itself in that most aliens encountered weren't amicable. The politest regularly encountered were the Craftworld Eldar, who were still used to the idea of being a galactic empire themselves, and were pirates as much as anything else.This got flanderized down into "All aliens are ebil, and must be killed on sight or you're a sinner.">Heretics.Literally weren't a thing. You have some marines arbitrarily using the word (because the writers forgot what the word means), but what you had were hostile factions, or traitors.'Heretic' would only be adopted wholesale around m36 with the official adoption of the Imperial Cult.Comment too long.

>>97344527You're arguing with someone who got all their lore from fuckin bluesky or some shit. They have bad opinions and they refuse to change them because it gives them a sense of smug moral superiority, and they probably tell their friends "oh I wish I could like 40k but it's just so full of evil people being evil" or other such faggotry. They're probably an athiest and thus dig for literally any reason to hate Big E because he vaguely resembles the abrahamic god.In short, a retard and a troll. Don't feed 'em.

>>97343953>So that was what you meant by 'high-caliber' boots. Gotta say, you wear yourself better than the rest of the wannabe blood mages I've met in my time.I'll be honest, trawling through snow in all that was a bit of a bitch. Absolute ankle-twist central. Worth it though. You two were pretty sharp, too! Especially with your new eyepatch and Mèo-Mèo with her new hat. Don't tell her, but it's just a hat. Isn't even Garou fur, even if SOMEBODY who likes guyliner too much kept suggesting that. Oh, and a bit of advice for the eyepatch. I'm pretty confident that the best way to acclimatize to seeing with all the ways it can see, would be to keep several ways active at once. It's mentally straining, but you should get used to it eventually. Should eventually be able to on the fly go from thermal sight, to auras, to ghosts, to visions, to movement, to danger, to whatever else it'll be willing to do for you.Just don't get too cocky with it. There's some creepy shit out there on the plains, especially on the highways at night. Don't openly stare at strangers through the more esoteric view-modes - the creeps drop the human act if they can tell that you can tell what they are.>Enjoy the knife, one of my better antler pieces. You bet I will, it's lovely! >And don't let anything Mèo-Mèo said get under your skin. She stares at the sky like that and mutters ominous portents of doom only... Semi Regularly.Oh, she's actually mostly right this time. There's definitely something up there in the sky, spinning little webs for me to see, all while dancing me along a bigger web, and all that other stuff she said, especially about Lavender's forest fire fuck-up. But she's being pessimistic. Just a bit. Others in my coterie don't quite yet realize what's up, mostly don't want to accept it, but I've accepted it, and I'm making the situation work for me. Helps to have friends on the other side, I think! Even if they have a very specific definition of friendship.

>>97341326Is it really dead? I've had trouble accessing it, but the site seems to still be up.
I know some people prefer more comfy games, but why would anyone without a tragic backstory, greedy personality, or simple neglect would ever want to become adventurer? No one with a happy home life goes on to hunts dragons except if they are idiots. If you have a happy family with a estate, you have an obligation towards your family to run that estate and no reasons to risk it all on adventuring. In happy family, only spare, superfluous and inconvenient sons would be allowed to go to something as dumb and risky as going to an adventure.
>>97344587Necessity. Or rather, you don't need to want to be an adventurer to end up on an adventure.That's particularly the case for those sorts of comfy/cozy games, where you basically can have an entire campaign revolver around the hometown of the PCs and their efforts to defend it from encroaching threats.
>>97344587Driven by idealism are fine and admirable if they know the world is a bad place and want to improve it. People who are pressured due social obligation too. People who become adventurers for fun are dangerous thrill-seekers or sociopaths.
>>97344587There only needs to be a desire strong enough to drive someone to leave.A tragic event or disruption to happy life is easy to drive someone but there are non tragic reasons someone would leave.>A mystery that needs to be solved>A ritual or rite of passage that needs doing>A call by a higher being to do a task>Sometimes you can simply seek fame and glory>Not sure if we want to count characters thrown into adventure by being in the wrong place at the wrong time
I know there's Everyone Is John, is there anything like picrel? A lighter Fiasco-style game, mixed with Monster of the Week? (Ideally not PbtA please.)Also what are /tg/'s thoughts on SP? Both the comic and the movie.

Why the fuck would you play OSR? Every edition is an improvement on the previous--that's why they make new editions, to refine and better their content. Is it just nostalgia? Are they mentally impaired or senile? What the fuck is wrong with OSR "fans"?
