All Flesh Must Be Eaten.
the real answer is just about any horror game you can run with humans that is relatively lethal would work for the mist. I'm just throwing out one that doesn't get as much love. But Call of Cthulhu or Fear Itself or, hell, even baseline WoD would probably work just as well.

>>97353289
I sometimes skim the HG, I remember the ayytech shut off right after the MiGo got scared and fucked off, and most MJ12 tech was based off that, but Observer Effect contradicts that pretty blatantly. If MJ12's mass-surveillance tech was partially in-house and not just them entirely relying on the greys' Report, they may have their own version of PRISM that was running on the same shit as what was in Observer Effect that the Program has themselves now, and March might have a knockoff of
Even if they don't have a greytech PRISM serverfarm running, the KIY part of the setting mentions "subroutines" running on automated USG servers on DG's authority to watch the internet and USG intranets for signs of Yellow, and GT directly states Conradin's network got flagged internally by similar shit in the 00's after DG pushed their own tracking-software into Patriot Act systems

Yes they're allowed. Somehow 3/4 of my players are women and it just got pervier and pervier. One is playing a half hellhound, dating the one guy among my players, as yet uncertain if he wants that cookie; another is aiming to get railed by every sentient species she can, and the last wants to use her womb as a cauldron of slime and tentacle based alchemy.

I play both extensively despite being their biggest haters but thats just because I want them to be better games.

Flames V4 just released late-war point balancing and its made the game so much better because soviets and british used to suck dick and germany had too many cheese spam lists but now the game is relatively balanced and anything you find too cheesy you can easily houserule. Its not historical but it is a fun casual game for balanced forces just duking it out compared to some other historicals which are more historical sim than game.

>>97335345
Team yankee used to be my go to game but like >>97340160 said the game is basically just a NATO jerk off simulator while PACT players are basically just hordes of mooks for NATO to have fun blowing up It gives NATO fucking prototype vehicles from the late 90s despite being set in 1985 While PACT is stuck choosing what flavor of period accurate shit tank to spam.

Generally compared to NATO, PACT units have dogshit stats and are hit on 3 instead of 4 but they make up for this by having 2-4x the numbers and usually better morale but even so NATO units are just so cost effective that even their spam lists of shit NATO units are better than PACTs so PACT can't even really do hordes as good as NATO.

Point "balancing" came out for team yankee and it nerfed some PACT spam lists like mass Hinds and gave meager point drops to T-72s and T-80s dropping them by 1 measly point each. Then the balancing massively cut points for NATOs prototype shit by like 30% with the M1A1 going from like 18 points to 12 FYI the M1A1s front armor cannot be penetrated by anything in PACTS entire arsenal outside of aircraft missiles and has the highest armor penetration gun of any tank in game.

NTA but world map doesn't always literally mean a map of the entire world. If you're setting a game in one country then mapping out all the important settlements and geographical features (like mountains, forests, and lakes that could be adventure locations) is making a world map. It's good to at least be able to give the players a reference of what's nearby/what exists around them unless you're sticking entirely to a city or a small island or something similarly confined.
>>
>>97352852
DnD is in no way "generic". I think you mean setting agnostic. GURPS and Cypher are generic because they can be any genre. DnD is only fantasy, arguably only superhero high-magic fantasy. You'd need to take a blowtorch to it to make it sword and sorcery, let alone sci fi or contemporary

Just how a general view of making a character and if I'm on the right track kinda or whatever....I dunno... Aieee. It's not like I made in an "anime" style on purpose more so I just can't draw for fucking shit. I feel more comfortable in the character itself though just from some slight feedback here. I don't know much about the series either, so I'm just asking stuff...that's why I apologized in my original post for it being a retarded post. I think with the tone of the campaign the guy is setting up though I don't imagine it'll be very lighthearted so there's probably less chances for the character to be irritating. And it's not like the others are into rping.

Stop looking at fantasy settings and its cultural dialogue through contemporary utilitarian lenses.

Your present reasoning and thoughts are a direct result of sociocultural narratives, they're not objectively reasonable or the apex of human thought.

That’s what those design are. It’s not just cats, those little Ewoks from the Pillars of Eternity looked off in a more realistic style. It’s a terrible design that’s only saved by artstyle.

>>97353330
I agree if we're talking about like those discord posters from a thread or two ago that literally can't paint inside the lines but I like to imagine that that isn't hugely endemic to the mini painting community. I like to think we're generally better than that, at least this thread is, maybe not the rest of the hobby. But I think that would still fall under what I mean by 'pretty quick to learn'.
Not all of them, but a lot of GW models now are so detailed (admech CMS, any AOS stuff) that as long as you can paint in the lines you can get a pretty decent result, but that is like step 1 of learning to paint minis and I don't think people really ignore it that often. Though I can fall back on arguing that if there are people who ignore simply painting inside the lines then I don't consider them full human people in the way that I am.
