How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?

I think the creator was trying to make this feel vintage, like toys from the 1980s, the use of enamel paint, the relatively clean work and the lack of any attempt to create shadows suggests this might be deliberate or manufactured.[Rhetoric: easy success] trying to look like shit an succeeding isn't an accomplishment. likely some boomer.

>>97223091Well, in which case i agree with him, not that isn't feasible but kinda unrealistic to expect. They main issue in that case is that the GM-in-the-making tackling gurps will have in his hands a bigass modular system with little to no guidance on how to build a game with, conversely something like d&d is presented as-is as already full-rounded for the specific task (that one may argue to be good or not at but still). To be more precise it's an issue more specific of gurps 4e, the 3e basic set offered more guidance in designing games, including a full adventure and even a solo one.

>>97205876I have this weird idea that Fiasco could make for a good crash-course if you hacked it together with a ruleslite system.The structure itself is scene based, and the game only gets two scenes per player (you could mess with this number probably).It's GMless, so the most senior player can teach by example what a player's order of operation would look like (rotating GM might be better than GMless.)It has players taking on NPC controls when their PCs aren't present, making them get in more than one character's headspace. (you could make the players stat them as PCs as practice)In Fiasco it's a given that PCs will have better and worse endings, teach them that their characters will just lose sometimes.You'd want a simplish system with quick-and-smooth character creation.Now that it's typed out I realize I'm just advocating for high-paced troupe play and low-prep systems.

>>97222872Despite how that question appears the Tek-Hunters are limited to a total of 8 due to having a roster rule that limits a gang to only having 2 of each of the 4 kinds of Tek-Hunter. Regardless yes being able to purchase Specialists right out of the gate can be as broken as it sounds. Conceptually the idea was fine but the actual roster entry implications were poorly thought out and the result of trying to make the Secundus box contents a 'full gang'.
>>97223244>Also, I guess if a Squat has a circular stone saw as their weapon besides their gun, they make unarmed attacks + circular stone saw. So cheap power pack weapons are overpriced on anyone with more than one attack, and the expensive ones are overpriced period.It still isn't really clear about whether a PPW can be used as a normal Melee/Sidearm weapon. They are weapons as per their rules, but they have the special rule to be able to be used in addition to other weapons during close combat. This FAQ really didn't clarify any of that and just poorly conveyed that when being used as PPW for extra attacks that it is just one attack with that PPW profile. Going off the actual Power Pack trait they are still a weapon and thus eligible for normal use, but it can also be used in addition to other weapons. If this wasn't the intent then it would be 'must/only' not 'can' in regards to usage.

>>97224839What are the current happenings? What are other people currently working on?
>>97224891>What are the current happenings?The cult is destroying villages. Wuyu escaped and joined up with Liang Ba, they are heading for a meeting with the Xun clan. Most of the younger clan members are training. An expedition is being prepared to discover what exactly happened at the village Wuyu was at.Minor news, Tsolmon got recruited as an alchemy assistant by Linghao. And the family is still as fucked up as always.
>>97224891>>97225041Oh, and>What are other people currently working on?Mostly relationships charts and the aforementioned expedition. And Liang Ba anon, I assume, posted an offer to see who would go to visit the camp his army set up, I just saw that.I may start working on some training, or also the expedition, depending on which characters are actually going.
>>97221773Interesting chart, she is a bit more paranoid than I was expecting. It helps put into perspective how she is taking current events.Linghao is very well equipped to see her for what she is. He wouldn't hold it against her, the situation is not her fault and not wanting to stand out after that is natural. Of course getting her to believe him is a different story, he is known to not be the best with words and he doesn't have the truth oath on his side unlike his father. He would try to help her if she needs, but pretending to be harmless is a valid evolutionary tactic so he thinks she's doing fine on that front. In the end they are both part of this strange family, running away from it won't work, he already tried.

Previous thread: >>97111514GURPS 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: How often do you use an official GURPS setting?

Why is it so common for fantasy rpgs that try to do the "Deep Lore" stuff to always default to Gnosticism or H.P. Lovecraft in a trench coat?
>>97209182White Wolf's games are heavily rooted in Christian mythology and Gnosticism is basically Christianity/Judaism deep lore, so it really should come as no surprise here. But yeah, sure, I get what you're saying, seen plenty of it as well. I think it's largely because the core themes of Gnosticism are>reality isn't exactly what it appears to be >god(s) are lying to youWhile the core them of HPL is >there are forces/entities/civilisations out there that operate on an entirely different level we can barely comprehendAnd those really are kind of the most obvious angles if you're trying to write some major, plot-twist "deep lore" for your setting Another reason I see is there's probably a pretty big correlation between people who are into the concept of deep lore (and thus want to include it in their setting) and people who are into /x/ stuff (and thus are probably aware of Gnostic stuff and think it's some extra cool secret knowledge they'll be extremely original for ripping off)
>>97220488kek this. what a tard.
>>97218118I'm not well versed enough to argue, but it's kind of funny seeing this take considering how common it is for people to take about Elder Scrolls lore being Gnostic coded. Like it's literally one of the most accepting things when people talk about the lore and this guys just coming in with 100% confidence that it's not a thing and your crazy for even suggesting it.
>>97208974Lovecrafts has broad popular appeal and is in the public domain. It's basically just laziness, it's way easier to just borrow from Lovecraft instead of making up something compelling yourself.If you exclude major religions, gnosticism is usually the only real world mystic tradition that many people know of. So again it's easy to use to convey ideas without having to explain everything.

>>97224798Okay, so how did you gain levels in B/X?
>>97219278what is it with fantasy works and always including random ass rings?
>>97225142Three stage process at least. >Ringworld >Halo >Concept Art for //v/ derived from halo bleeds over to fantasy
>>97223934I actually appreciate your response, anon.>tidesThe sun actually causes tidal action on Earth as well, just not to the same extent.>lunar measurements and cultural impactPerhaps I should have mentioned it previously, but my plan from the start was to have two suns (binary star system). The rotation of these stars would certainly cause more tidal action than our real life sun, and would generate cycles/measurements and culture for the various peoples on the planet. Would this "save" the setting in your eyes, or would you prefer more? I've been considering having a visible, but thin ring around the planet as well (too big of a ring or too many would make nights brighter than Earth due to light refraction).
>>97225291NP, seemed like a genuine question and an interesting concept I hadn't ever considered. Which seems obvious and silly in retrospect but there it is. >sun effects tides also Yes. >binary star effects it more, cultural relevance That works for me. I think the main concern I was having is a setting that's far away enough from player world experience to be relatable. Humans have been deeply influenced by astrological observation so cutting out a significant part of that has challenges. I think your ideas would fill in close enough and pose some interesting effects on the game world.
