>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/They used to be split between the website and the discord, but no more. For posterity's sake, the old mega will still be kept active even if it's unlikely to need updating: https://mega.nz/folder/70QH0BBa#Eg-blxYQKkY_C02wErnFTQComment too long.

What is the counterculture of 2020s, that could be used as the basis for a contemporary countercultural tabletop game?Take the World of Darkness for example, which was so grounded in the the counterculture of the 90s that it comes across as dated and strange today. How would you update the World of Darkness so that it better represents the counterculture of today?Nightmare Mode: Talk about more than just politics. There's more to rebellion against the status quo and the prevailing social norm than who you vote for.

>>97343416is it shitposting to tell someone to clean a mold line or that his primer is fucked and he needs to strip it and do it again? like I said almost all feedback given to beginners is in the vein of "do this additional thing to make it look better" when the advice they need to be given is "work on improving this thing that you're already doing."

Even last thread we got a guy with uneven coats of paint/primer and anons pointed that out. Shitposting would be saying it looks dogshit without providing any advice on how to actually improve it. I'll try to keep what you're saying in mind next time I get a chance to give feedback though because you brought up valid points.

>>97343352It takes talent to be this reductive.
>>97343574Tell me ten things that you can do in a vampire game that don't involve killing Sabbat goons or internal Cammie politics
>>97343624NTA, but the Monkey's Paw curls:1. Internal Anarch Politics2. killing Anarch goons3. Internal Inconnue politics4. Killing Inconnue goons... repeat until we have every faction and sub-faction.
>>97343693Lmao look at this "repeat" copeCan't even name five
CofD discussion ends and shitflinging immediately starts.
White Wolf died. But where's the replacements? DnD has hundreds of clones. But where are all the vampire/mage/werewolf clones? Is because DnD is more generic and easier to copy?
I've been gone a while, what are the main complaints against VtM5?A quick skim of the mechanics and a return to the old clans looks promising
>>97340563Cut a bunch of disciplines. Not even obscure ones, fucking vicissitude got cut.New hunger and blood potency mechanics that try to force "street level" play (and make no fucking sense).Humanity is now Mandatory and the systems surrounding it were made much more annoying.Overall the design is full of the badwrongfun philosophy of a certain old WW writer. It's not quiiiite as bad as W5 in that regard but it's still a game that hates your guts if you want to play anything but a thinblood prole working the nightshift somewhere.
>>97340589Thanks for your well articulated reply. Do Players' or other subsequent books add the missing clans and disciplines back?Personally I much prefer street level games, especially after coming off the back of nWoD and the high silliness it used to bring (out of our playerbase).
so apparently the order is>storyteller>storytelling>storypath>storypath ultra>>97340279>just read ~2000 pages of textyeah i will resort to that if i can't find the answers online. i got other things to do than read systems i might never ever get to play >>97340378apparently storyteller is the very first version too, which is impressive that they iterated on it and of the successors one is hated the other
>>97343530I hate to be the one to break this to you, but reading is the main way one learns games, it's kind of important, actually. If reading is so tough for you, you might want to reconsider your choice of hobby.

Falleen are a really interesting race and the highly inflammatory rumors that they use some unseen body chemical to influence non-falleen people around them is completely false and utterly speciesist behavior.>muh pheromonesThat's just bigotry from backwards outer-rim yokels who couldn't point out a Falleen if it was the only non-human in a lineup.I actually met Prince Xizor himself during trade negotiations as a representative for Kark MegaIndustries - Plaststeel Division and let me tell you he is an amazing man with nothing but the good of his people at heart.I was taken aback by his warm and friendly demeanor, despite the utter tragedy his people suffered during planet-wide pandemic that has decimated his people. It is with great pride I signed the declaration of intent for Kark MegaIndustries to sell a majority share of our projected Plasteel production for the coming ten years to Xizor Transport Systems for use in refugee relief work at a greatly reduced rate. This strategic partnership will ensure not just growth for both companies in the long term but also provide sustainable housing to the billions of refugees fleeing the ongoing terrorist activities in the outer-rim territories.
>>97343023>Corellian>Is the most American cuisine you’ve ever seenAddendum to this: if you ever see a “Corellian Salad” on a menu or are offered some from your host, just understand this: there are seemingly endless varieties of Corellian Salads, not one of which is actually what anyone would call a “salad”, not sure what one would call them… but certainly “salad” is not one that’d come to mind. Also, of all the varieties of Corellian Salads, a solid 75% of them you absolutely do not want.
Can we have a harengon thread here? I've always wanted to play as one but as a forever DM never had the chance. To anyone who has played one how fun is it?
>>97343536It'd be my race of choice for a D&D game if it were available, just because I'm a degenerate with terminal bunny-brain. The basic consensus seems to be that they make strong spellcasters and buff/debuff style support because they get Hare Trigger for better initiative and Rabbit Hop which lets them exit melee without provoking attacks of opportunity. Of course, these could be useful for pretty much any class.
>>97343536Played all of DOIP as a Harengon sorcerer. As >>97343591 mentioned, rabbit hop and hare trigger are great. I also took the alert feat, so I had a big advantage on initiative. Really can’t even tell you how much fun I had playing that guy.
>>97343536Dnd has homogenized races - sorry species - to the point that there’s essentially no difference in them. The experience of playing a harengon is the same as the experience playing a tiefling is the same as the experience playing an elf is the same as the experience playing a genasi - that is to say they’re humans. Stupid thread btw, keep this kind of low level question to the 5e generals, it doesn’t deserve a thread of its own

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.
How are we going to be using Vehicles 4E if it's going to have anything GURPS related stripped from it?
>>97343405Step 1: Use Not-GURPS Vehicles to design a realistic vehicleStep 2: Use the Basic Set, Describing Vehicles, Template Toolkit 2, etc. to obtain GURPS statistics for your vehicle (HP, Handling, Stability)Keikaku douri.
>>97343405Pyramid 3/120 gives a fairly comprehensive system for converting 'real-world' data like 0-60mph times and curb weight into GURPS stats. The only things which is doesn't really cover in a systematic way are Handling and Stability Rating. So you can easily take the output of the VDS and get GURPS numbers out of it. As for Hnd/SR, I'm fairly sure there will be some stats called something like Manoeuvrability and Stability Factor which have a very simple relationship (probably 1:1) to the GURPS equivalent.I will personally make sure that there is a spreadsheet that you can use to do this if you can't be bothered to do the conversions yourself.
>>97343481>>97343469Makes sense. Also if the thing gets done couldn't the anon and Pulver try to make a deal with SJG to actually make it into an actual Gurps product? Most of the heavy lifting would already be done by that point.
>>97343658>Most of the heavy lifting would already be done by that point.Most of the heavy lifting has already been done, and SJG aren't interested. They insist that it has to be edited by their editor and laid out by their layout people and turn a profit (not unreasonable, I suppose) and they didn't think those would really be possible.
