>>97237507Ms Claus got that Cassandra from Dragon Age scarred milf charm going on
Merry Sanguinala-Eve, /slop/! The tale of the Techpriestess continues from: https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/97090988/#q97097155 Here we have the last gens of the dearly departed Old Sora. Requiescat in gloria ad aeternum.>Scarcely noticing as the Inquisitor rejoined the others, the Techpriestess ushered her guests onto a lift platform set into the wall of the Enginarium, promising the nobles that it would bear them to one final wonder on their tour of her ship. Yet as the platform rose out of the acrid smoke and arcing energies of the reactors below, the nobles stood as grim as men heading to the gallows. After hours wandering the automaton-haunted corridors of this cursed ship, there hung about them all a feeling that they were being led unto an inescapable doom.>Upwards, ever upwards the platform rushed, through hundreds of meters of stygian darkness, until with the thunderous grinding of distant gears, a crack appeared in the blackness above them as a set of massive blast doors parted, flooding the lift with brilliant golden light. >With a sudden jolt, the lift ground to a halt, depositing the party onto the wind-swept outer hull of the 'Pitiless Blade,' shielding their eyes from the searing rays of the setting sun that stabbed down through the thin upper atmosphere of Sarnath. Though little more than a ledge upon the superstructure, the Priestess beckoned the nobles to join her out on the radiation-pitted adamantine plating with a mad theatricality. She had promised her guests wonders, and did not fail to deliver, for who among Mankind could say that they had walked on the outside of a void ship?>No sooner had the nobles realized that they were not being conducted to a vivisection chamber than they congratulated Salafié on a most excellent "prank," and wandered out along the hull, each doing their very best to convince their fellows that they had not been in terror of their very souls but minutes earlier. All, that is, save for one of them...
>>97237722>Inquisitor Corsini stood at the edge of the hull, contemplating what could be the last sunset he would ever see. Though abandoned by his order and opposed by a foe even he could not truly comprehend, the day of his vengeance was finally at hand. The sabotage device was in place, and all that remained was to choose the proper moment to strike.>Interrupting his thoughts, the sibilant voice of Salafié came from behind him; "You draw close to the edge, my lord. Take care lest you should fall.">The Inquisitor scowled under his hood at the double meaning of her words and responded in kind; "He who walks in the Emperor's light does not stumble, heretic.">"He speaks at last..." Salafié drew up alongside the Inquisitor, gazing out at the blazing horizon. "But heretic? Surely you misspeak. Have not the High Lords of Terra themselves attested to my innocence?">"Do not speak to me of innocence!" the Inquisitor growled, his voice like low thunder, "Nor of your pardon bought with the blood money of that damned Rogue Trader. I was there the day your machines laid waste to my homeworld. There and on a dozen worlds since, I bore witness to your guilt with my own eyes.">"Ah..." the Priestess sighed, "So you are the one who hunts me. Am I all you imagined I would be?">"Do you mock me? You stand accused! Have you nothing to say for yourself?"Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

After about 8 years since I last DM'ed a game, I've been asked to run a session. Unfortunately my books - adnd, 2e, 3e, 3.5, 4e, and 5e are in storage two states away.And i prefer physical copies. Thanks to critical role and the movie DND books have gone up in price which is weird.>4e books are ~10-15$ now. Is it viable to run 4e in 2025? I don't remember hating it and I still remember some home rules to streamline combat to speed it up a touch. Does anyone have suggestions for 1-3lvl adventures or campaign settings? >4e thread I guess
>>97236233This is a fantastic suggestion, thank you I'm fine printing off a few adventures and some extra sheets and errata and stuff. >Im running this for some younger friends (I'm late 20's they're in college) and I plan to give the books away if the game takes off because they're broke kids and I prefer basic fantasy, 2e and 3.5 anyway.Also I just prefer to have the books to flip through in front of me.

>>97236301>running a game for dudes that grew up on bg3If they grew up on BG3 then you're probably not old enough to post, OP
>>97236988While the Essentials line is stinky, to say the least, having Heroes of the Fallen/Forgotten Lands on hand means that you have an easily passed around copy of the core errata. That's part of the reason why I took it off my FLGS's hands some time ago.>>97237057Well, open development for BG3 did last for a very, very long time.

>>97237567I'm fine with Nightsister magic as a concept but it's inherently darkside, a perversion of the force, manipulated to meet a selfish end. Which means Merrin should act like a darksider

>>97237692>I'm fine with Nightsister magic as a concept but it's inherently darkside, a perversion of the force, manipulated to meet a selfish end. Going by what we see Nightsisters do, those who act and use teh Force selfishly go off the rails and become de-facto Sith, those who don't (like Merrin, and potentially even Ventress) are more like Jedi.But I think we really have no fiirm sources either way, and even if we had them, fuck Disney I'm gonnna take from teh setting what Ilike and run with it.>Which means Merrin should act like a darksiderIf you want her to be a Bad Girl, go read that book they retconned.

What the fuck is the use case for fortune telling lore? Four of the thirteen animist apparitions grant it, so they clearly intended it to be used for SOMETHING, but short of using it as a nonmagical Augury (which no sane DM would allow), what is it good for?
Do you guys the crit cards? My group is trying them out and they seem fine, but I worry there something I'm missing
>>97237598In one of my 2e games the GM uses crit cards. But not all cards are made equal. Some are just crit but better, while others can just not be applicable to what you were doing. It does feel nice when the party gets that nat 20 in combat but those can be few and far between. But on the same hand, enemies can also benefit from them. Had a boss one time nat 1 and the crit card made it fall unconscious for a turn. Causing us to just gangbang it and turn the encounter into a joke. I generally find myself saving my hero points to not deal with a crit fumble card. But i'm more tactical than the rest of my group. So depending on how tactical your group is or how freely you hand out hero points. Your experience may vary.
>>97237584You know where to find powerful oracles and how to acquire their services, you can tell apart soothsayers from random old women, you know how to dupe someone by pretending to read their fate, you know the history of the Harrow and its cultural importance.Yes, that's niche to the point of near unusability, but that's true for a lot of Lore skills. There's an unironic Basket Weaving Lore in this game.

Anybody played Castaway with the Stranded solo zine expansion? I've been looking for survival-focused solo games and I found it, but I have little experience with Mork borg. Also recommend other solo titles with an emphasis on survival mechanics
>>97077453That is me. I am still working on it, slowly. The combat system works great and is very versatile, with room for upgrades and tons of skills and equipment, lasting injuries and such. It basically just copies Blood Bowl but with abstracted positioning, and using 3d6 instead of 2d6 so it has a bit more room for variety. The main issue is that it isn't particularly fast, doing lots of these combats in a single dungeon run doesn't sound appealing. Especially over and over again. It is also reliant on you playing against yourself, as you are also controlling the delvers. I mitigate that by having delvers worth more the further they get into your dungeon, so you want a sort of balancing act where you want the delvers to succeed because it makes them worth more points, but also want to defeat them. I'm thinking I might have most encounters in the dungeon solved by simple skill checks or simplified battles of some sort, with a full battle against that room's denizens only happening rarely. That would make it fun because you might really want to see how the monsters of particular rooms fare in combat, but they are only actually fought rarely. Puts tension on every dice roll that way.
>>97237498For actual dungeon building I'm operating with a tag system. Rooms are basically just empty spaces with archtypes applied to them, then you can fill the room with features. Features both require a tag and also usually add a tag or two. Features cost a certain amount of points, and also require a certain amount of space that you have to account for. For example the Water feature requires the Natural tag, or an adjacent room with the Water tag. It obviously adds the Water tag and also provides food of the Fish type, etc.So as an example, I might have a room that is of the Fortress archtype, which grants the Military tag. The Military tag is required for me to build a Barracks feature in the room, which grants the room the Training tag, which gives access to various types of trained Denizens like soldiers or captains. Normally the Water feature requires the Natural tag, but since there is an adjacent room that already has the Water tag, I can add it here and say the goblins built a canal or something.

>>97236582>>97236606Hey, glad you're enjoying your gift and sorry for your loss, especially during the holidays. I like to probe my recipients for more gift ideas, to influence the card and if time permits, I'd add a gag gift like an amateurish sculpt (which I seem to have only done once). When you said you liked Das Boot, a submarine model just felt like a no brainer.I have also attached a scan of the card before I shipped it.>>97236887Oh. I did research to make sure it was the same U-boat but didn't take into account that it may have variants.>>97237102I've done copic ones in previous years but this one is specifically acrylic paint. I wanted to try the Golden So Flat stuff. When you say bleed, did you mean bleed through the paper or do you mean how the ink bleeds past the inked lines? For the former, it's a fact of life but you could mitigate it with thicker paper. For the latter, use a more toothier paper and try to get rid of excess ink by running it on a scratch paper before starting. Otherwise, I would just go over the offending spot with a color pencil.

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.

>>97237457Slip and fall from standing to the ground. Treating it as a fall from half his height, that’s about 4 yps, doing 1d-1 (potentially up to 2d with lots of HP).Paint can to the face. As far as I can tell, a pendulum with a six foot arm dropping a weight in standard gravity will be moving about 8 yps at the bottom of its swing. The paint cans seem to be 1 gallon capacity and part full, so maybe 4 lbs. (6 HP). That’s just barely enough to reach 1d-1. Then he falls, but breaks his fall on Marv, so probably only takes another 1d-2. Still, a typical human would be on his second death check around this point.Another dramatic trip and fall, 1d-1 again.Gets hit in the chest by Marv with a crowbar. As Marv was only trying to kill a tarantula, this probably wasn’t a full strength blow, but may well have done a bit more damage.Pendulum swing from around 10’, maybe 9 yps, another 1d-1. Fall from a couple of yards, another 1d-1. Might be on his third death check at this point.The ‘shovel killer’ hits him on the back of the skull with a snow-shovel. I’d treat this as an ultra-light (Martial Arts, p. 234) version of the shovel (Horror, p. 51), for swing+3(0.5) crushing. The ‘shovel killer’ is old, but seems in good health and is fairly tall, so maybe ST 10, for a total of 1d+3. With effective DR 4 from the skull and the wounding modifier, that’s about 10 HP on an average hit. Probably into the fourth death check, but he survives. Marv (Daniel Stern)BB gun to the face (1 HP) or skull (0 HP).Fall and slide down icy steps. Action 5 says to treat this as a fall with a distance equal to that to the next landing (presumably measured vertically). Marv is much bigger than Harry (6’4”) so probably has 11-12 HP at least. Looks like the steps are about half a storey (5’) so this will be about 6 yards per second. That’s 1d for a normal human-scale character, maybe 2d if he has ridiculous HP.
>>97237468Crowbar falls on his head. Assuming a 2 lbs. pry-bar (5 HP), it seems to fall from maybe 5-6’, so 5-6 yps, doing a measly 1d-3 or 1d-2. With skull DR, this is weirdly survivable in GURPS, doing at most 8 HP and more likely 0.Iron drops on his head. This should have similar HP to the crowbar, but seems to fall further, maybe 10’. Still only 1d-2, but this time to the face, inflicting 0-4 HP. Seems to also do 1 point burning follow-up. Again, this would be potentially fatal in real life, but is easily survivable even by a ‘realistic’ normal human in GURPS.Steps on a nail after losing his footwear. Treating this as a caltrop, thrust-2 impaling based on his ST (so maybe 1d-3), maximum 2 injury. Probably another 1 HP lost.Falls from maybe 6-8 stairs up (4-5’) taking another 1d or so crushing, seems to be to the torso.Steps on broken glass with bare feet. This is basically just a cutting caltrop with another -1 damage. Seems fairly superficial, so maybe another 1 HP. Around this point, a ‘realistic’ human would be below 0 HP.Slip and fall from standing to the ground. Treating it as a fall from half his height, that’s about 5 yps, doing 1d (potentially up to 2d with lots of HP).Paint can to the face for 1d-1. The impact knocks him over, so he has another fall for 1d or so, then Marv falls on top of him for another 1d-2. At this point a normal person would start making death checks.Pendulum swing from around 10’, maybe 9 yps, another 1d.Fall from a couple of yards, another 1d-1.The ‘shovel killer’ hits him on the back of the skull with a snow-shovel for 0-20 HP. This could mean a couple more death checks, but if so, he makes them.
>>97237472So long as they have decent HT, the level of injury they sustain is survivable by 'normal' humans with no special traits. Remaining conscious and active throughout the experience is going to be much more difficult, suggesting that both the burglars have high levels of Hard to Subdue. Harry may need a total HT + HTS of 18 or better to keep going after the paint can. Marv could probably manage with 1 level less.
If we're doing Christmas movies, is there a good way to handle characters who can spawn more of their kind really quickly, like the Mogwai/Gremlins?How about characters which permanently shift to another template, potentially one with a different point total?
How about John McClane? IIRC he only gets shot once (in Die Hard, at least), with his own handgun (a Beretta 92, presumably loaded with standard power 9mm FMJ or JHP, more likely the former given the era). It's a Hollywood 'only got hit in the shoulder, no problem' flesh-wound, so probably using cinematic combat rules to just get rid of damage, but what if you had to get similar levels of toughness without cinematic rules? He takes dozens of blunt impacts, but only a couple of them seem like absolutely brutal ones (Karl kicking him through a thick piece of wood, swinging into the side of the building). Explosions are cinematic fireballs, but mostly seem far enough away that I wouldn't expect fatal injuries from the blasts. Even shooting the movie gave Bruce Willis permanent hearing damage, so I expect that the 'real' McClane would need some seriously tough eardrums to hear anything at all by the end of the film.
