>>97263086Her 100-man force is trained as paratroopers, which descend from helicopters in the aftermath of any other vehicles being under fire or destroyed from the air. What happens after depends on what orders her employer has. Sometimes the enemy is cornered and wiped out, sometimes it is a raid to capture material or prisoners. Those with an information network would know the Indigo Feathers as successful mercenaries who formerly operated in outskirts of Russia under the payroll of local strongmen, before separating from them and looting battlefields in Ukraine with makeshift airbases out of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

TTRPGs are a social game first and foremost. That means there's unspoken rules that vary from group-to-group, but a common one is "acceptable breaks from sensibility" in the name of game experience or table cohesion. It's the kind of thing that keeps the bitter rivalry between the Elf and the Dwarf largely to amusing banter and not outright PvP. It's an innate instinct: nobody likes to spoil the atmosphere, because that's a large part of the appeal of a good game (alongside the freedom).That being said, there are also times when the group's course of action is patently retarded and you can't meaningfully push back on it without feeling like you'd cause a big fight over nothing (and then feel obligated to keep comrades away from the consequences), or something a character cannot abide has to be "sanded over" somewhat, or you as the GM don't want to cultivate the feeling that you're antagonizing your players by hitting them over the head with "you murdered someone because it was convenient and didn't even take measures to cover your tracks" or whatever unhinged misadventure occurred because something about the player position of the table cause human beings to lose IQ. Have you ever had that feeling? I think I see enough greentexts to think it's common.
>>97257905What do you mean? Nothing in your post is suffering.
>>97258134No, not if you play with idiots. There is nothing wrong with negative consequences. If the players aren't allowed to make mistakes, there's no reason for them to show up.
>>97228087I don't, I let them unleash their chaos and suffer the aftermath.

>>97262890On what criteria
>>97257539I like the idea, but I never felt like the gods, scions, titans, and all of the other magical beings really fit into the world. 1e seemed like that was the goal, and fatebinding was the way to handwave why the gods kept themselves removed from the world and didn't really get involved beyond occasionally banging mortals and maybe doing something lefty approved (except for like, WW2, but even then the Axis aligned pantheons totally didn't know what was going at Dachau or Nanking and were not cool with it). 2e is the same in a different way. All the gods, titans, scions, and magical beings exist in parallel with a world that's just like our own. The Norse pantheon is totally real, but uh, for some reason, Christianity totally spread through Scandinavia and the Scandis just adopted Christianity (but totes kept doing pagan shit on the side). And like, in the Vatican, paganry is going down in the very heart of Christendom. But all the major historical events totally happened the way we know them.I haven't read through the books because I admit to getting booty blasted by some of the shit in the 2e Scion book about how being a fag on its own is enough to get you into Valhalla (where the Einharjar spend time not fighting and training to fight Ragnarok, but how to fight for social justice by reading books and using the internet) and it was totally stunning and brave to be a amab Scion of Thor and wear a dress.

why is it that fellwar stone shows up so much in oldschool formats, from full-powered 93/94 to jankier formats like four horsemen?after the first few years of the game, it seems like artifact mana was relegated to specific strategies like armageddon or artifact synergieswhat is it about the first few sets that makes it worth it for regular decks to run artifact mana?

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? Which are your favorites?
>>97261992In what context?If you're talking about penalty to Guns skill for TL difference, the Alternate Guns Specialties article in Pyramid says to just ignore that and use familiarity instead.
>>97261992Officially, it's a flat -1 per TL difference (except for IQ based skills). Obviously this is a general rule which might not seem realistic in many cases. There's a huge difference between TL 5 guns and TL 6 ones, but very little between TL 6 and TL 8 (at least in terms of how you use them). On the other hand, TL 6 vehicles are often completely different to TL 8 ones.If I was writing the rules, I'd probably not have weapon skills take TL penalties at all and simply rely on familiarity rules to make things difficult. Or reduce the TL penalty to -1 per 2 or 3 full TLs of difference.
>>97262055t. anon who askedI'd say that black gunpowder guns are TL 5, and modifiers to characters at TL 8 (modern) apply accordingly. Guns that use nitrocelulose gunpowder are TL 6 and above and incur no penalty.

>>97262878You work for or owe a favor to the owner/insurance company . Or just heard rumor around town there’s enough spare parts in them there holds to put together a force that doesn’t have to worry about the local law
>>97262878You are mercs that work for the insurance company that provided coverage for the merchants. To recover costs after paying out the claim the company has tasked your merc group to recover as much of the cargo, equipment, and technology away from the crash site as possible. Your merc group is motivated by a tiered payment system based on the C-bill value of recovered property, as well as a bonus for the denial of any unrecoverable assets and destroyed competition.
>>97262878You're not robbing it. Between conflicts involving the owners, the operating company, the government of register, owners of the cargo, and the insurance companies, plus the jurisdictional issues including the disputed ownership of where it crashed and the conflict between the recognized customs of space versus the laws and contracts of the claimants which also delve into conflicting laws and customs regarding salvage, any claims of piracy are at best an unsubstantiated opinion arising from a conflict of interest and at worst slander/libel.

>>97262482I still see it in Exalted. "A machine gun could wipe out solars" like bro a stream of bullets is just an AoE attack. Or the whole "Well it'll give mortals a way to attack long distances" which honestly how do you even argue.I personally like to think of guns as first age artifacts and very magical. So no machine gun, but lasers, revolvers, canons... All working because of the prayers delicately carved into their frame. Along with gunpowder that needs to be blessed to work properly. Think about how they treat guns in the Dark Tower.
What name did you give to your Alchemical? What Caste are they? Why are they called that?
>>97262482>>97262566What I mean is that we're perfectly accustomed to Exalted being able to no-sell guns, and even having some heroic mortals managing bullet dodging by the skin of their teeth. There may always be people weird about guns, but the game is never going to support guns being an equalizer between Exalted and mortals. The guns that are impressive to Exalted are the kind of Artifact guns and blasters in Shards of the Exalted Dream, and they're only deadly because one of the Chosen, a god, etc. is committing motes to them.
>>97262921I hope I don't come across as disagreeing. I'm just adding my thoughts that guns as they are IRL would take a lot away from the setting, but guns as they are in fantasy and westerns would be pretty okay by me. It's a hard thing to define.Revolvers? Okay.Machine Gun/Tommy Gun? Nope.Laser Gun? Sure, for Alchemicals.Gatling Gun? Nope.Mortars? Nope.Missiles? Nope.Long range laser canons? Sure.Sniper Rifle? Nope.Firestick that shoots super far? Sure, with charms.I don't know, I sure as heck wouldn't think of Creation as being bronze age. I'm not even sure what that means in the context of a fantasy setting with magic that's so prevalent.
>>97262998>I don't know, I sure as heck wouldn't think of Creation as being bronze age.Most of civilized Creation isn't in the Bronze age technologically. Sure there's probably some places where civilization collapsed, but most of the societies we see have probably pulled themselves into the Iron Age with weird gonzo leaps in strange places. Bronze Age is more of an aesthetic painted on.And for missiles, they had Thousand Forged Dragons for a rough equivalent.

FFG fluff was incredibly lazy in terms fo structure and answers. "OOOH LE EBIN BLACK SUN!" (it's whatever you want and no we won't give you any answers ever)
I legit hate the way autists and normie scum consume media. It's like a swarm of locusts swooping down and consuming everything in sight. Any kind of nuance or mystery needs to be explained through endless sequels, prequels, and midquels. There's no more interpretation, speculation, or fan works anymore. Just lurch on to something new if the franchise is enshittified beyond recognition or there's nothing new to consume for more than a year.
