>>97241180What are some traditionally “villainous” powers you would like to see more heroes use and vice versa? And besides picture related, what are some examples of the concept handled effectively?
>>97264635No. I mean the Illuminati.
>>97241180How do you approach villain alliances in your games? And how well do the villains do at staying on task for their goals and not infighting?
>>97267224I don't believe in villain alliances unless they are an actual government entity. Villains should be competing groups with different goals, if they ever intersect it's because they are after the same thing.
>the dark lord just wants bitchesIs this a good villain motivation?
>>97258165yes but WHY does he want the bitches? Is he a hornball? Does he simply want the prestige that comes with it? ... Does he need someone to talk to?
Does the dark lord’s name begin with Thulsa and end with Doom?

>>97259338He's a death knight. And he's not interested in fucking those banshees, they lied to him about his actual elf waifu, for the love of whom he'd already murdered his bitch of a ladywife, and tricking him into abandoning his quest to prevent the pope from pissing off the gods enouhh to drop a fucking mountain-sized meteor on the world, killing most of the population and leaving the survivors to cope with like three centuries of no healing magic or resurrections, and he's spent every night since then listening to those fucking lying whores sing a song about what a dope he is for ever believing them and how everything wrong with the world is his fault. Only thing he wants to stick in them is a ghost touch undead bane holy avenger.

How do you pick an AoS army? I’m wanting to start an army, but have no idea which one I’d like playing. Is there a way to try things out before spending time and money on models?

>>97266788>>97266917I'm sorry both of you idiots are showing the fact that you are recent tourists. The setting of the web comic was built with GURPS with the majority of the characters and races having GURPS write ups. New pages have been posted on /tg/ since likely before you learned to read.
Damn, I liked Spiral.

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?
>>97266971We read, we aren't deterred by some basic math, and we like to be flexible and play multiple genres.
I suppose this might be a topic better suited as it's own thread. But I'll ask here since I'd probably run it in GURPS:What's the best way to run an FE style game in a TTRPG? Not quite literally in a turn based tactics kind of way, but I meant more making the players feel like they're traveling with a large warband on whatever grand quest they're on. Awakening has like 42 characters, excluding Robin. 40+ unique NPCs hanging around the party feels pretty unwieldy when also accounting for people outside of the warband.Any advice on handling it?
>>97268345I can see three possibilities. Either just narratively say they're with you party, with a random character you choose talking to the PCs one and a while so they actually "feel" there. Actually put all the characters in a battle which is a pretty big hassle keeping track so i wouldn't do this. There's GURPS Mass Combat which makes it easy to simulate all these people, but i haven't used it so i cannot tell you how good it is.
>>97268345Two Can Die for the Price of One (Dungeon Fantasy 15 p. 33) provides guidance on letting a single player control multiple PCs simultaneously.The Arithmetic of Rank (Social Engineering p. 14) provides guidance on how many officers of different Rank are needed in a warband.Social Engineering: Pulling Rank and Dungeon Fantasy 17 provide guidance on the mechanics of a warband itself.
>>97268420>guidance on how many officers of different Rank are needed in a warbandAlso, you could have each PC be an officer in command of a few NPC grunts.

>>97268201>>97268208Alright, thanks. What do people use super glossy paints for anyway? This one is good for blood, but I couldn't imagine using a significant amount of glossy paint on a model. Makes it look incredibly amateurish.
>>97266952love it, what parts did you use?
>>97264913These look dope, very saturated main colors
>>97268394You touched on it with blood; I’ve only use it for wet surfaces. Although I do wonder, would it be good for painting glass?
humans are boring nuff said
>>97252031>Wrong, it means humans should also have a one-note gimmickYou now have an even more boring setting filled with inhabitants that feel like obligatory archetypes rather than actual people.
>Humans are a mix of every major humanoid race and that's why they have no defining characteristics and why everyone else hates them
>>97266615>Humans are the ultimate la creatura>That's why they can rape everything and make their offspring half-human, forever connecting their bloodline with mutt human dnaBueno
>>97246374This is always meaningless and reductive. You can easily say humans are just uppity self important shaved apes and not much else in reality. You can then go on and on about how special humans are, but deep down it's just monkey shit dialed up. In the end, it is nothing but goalpost moving and posturing.Every sapient species is going to inevitably share common traits. Or do you throw a fit too somehow, that most animals have sex? Most living beings have eyes and limbs? If something not human dies when it is injured enough is that also ripping off humans then?
>>97244887>they don't stand on two legs, don't communicate through language, don't use weapons, and don't adhere to concepts of philosophy, politics, or societyThere are animals that do all of those things IRL

Gun to your head, you can only put 5 humanoid/demihuman races in your setting. After those five, you’re done. You chose humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, and ents? No gobbos and orcs for you. What are you choosing?
>>97268298in my nogames nonsetting; humanoids as a clade originated with the ur-humans, modern humans are technically a distinct evolution from homo sapiens and thus belong in the humanoids categorypeople just call them humans because they're the closest to baseline humanity from before the elf times

>>97267769No, anon. I'm suggesting that you try to consider the context of a Realm peasant's life and the ways that context shapes his viewpoint. It's not an argument about or depending on rationality.
>>97267806"I've been taught to interpret X as Y, so I will in the face of something incredible" is an argument to rationality. It's okay, we can disagree about this but I think like you're giving them way too much credit.
>>97267828Nah, kneejerk emotional reactions based on learned associations most definitely aren't about rstionality, and neither sre the contextual factors that'd make a Solar's powers merely impressive - and scary - rather than incredible. I mean, to consider something other than Solars, walking on water wouldn't be all that miraculous either in a world where some people, even if not all that many people, are known to just be able to do that, you know?
>>97267877No, not at all. I think the miracles of the Exalted are still miraculous to the people of creation.

how did you explain having literal blue human women in your scifi setting?
Isn't the deal that they don't actually look human, they just have some psychic power that makes every species think they look similar to them?

Would love to share some YTers I like to use for inspiration. Looking for anyone you find helpful. Preferably smaller creators and not restricted to 5e. I’ll submit three that I really enjoy while I’m doing prepFirst I’ll submit is Desk and Dorks. The channel is made by a medieval historian and combines his knowledge of subjects to enhance games. I particularly like his take on Bronze Age fantasy and building better town guards
>>97249098Unless a person is solely talking about the layout, editing, and art of a book, there is zero reason to watch a review of a game they've done without playing the game or module. It's like reviewing a videogame by watching a looking at the box and watching let's plays.That's why I like Seth Skworkowski, he only reviews shit he's run or played, so he actually has shit to say about it. There a million review channels that just have a static camera looking down on a pair of hands leading through a book and they have fuck all to say.
>>97263179Watching a review that goes over the basic mechanics, the options, the core gameplay loop, and tries to point out any glaring mechanical issues is worth something. A system can seem cool from the back cover elevator pitch, but unless you take the time to skim read everything, you might not pick up that the vibes and eye-catching presentation are covering a system that is otherwise just 5e in a different hat, or that the game is missing an important set of rules, or that everything is fucking busted, doesn't work as intended, or is just total bullshit to play.Notepad's reviews aren't perfect by any stretch, and some are just outright gimmicks and memes instead of real reviews, but his style of quickly exploring the basics and noting any stand-out problems is not without merit. Especially when his competition for RPG reviews are the millions of pairs of hands awkwardly flipping through a book with nothing to say, as you pointed out.
>>97263163To be honest, even a lot of his articles are kind of basic or pretentious. The three clue rule, improv advice, etc.Doesn't help that any question or issue you are experiencing often gets people uploading completely unrelated articles from him and treating it as gospel. It feels like he himself shills his stuff here with how often I see some dude push his stuff.
>>97268075That they are basic is the entire point. This hobby is dogshit for newcomers because the books no longer have any sort of procedural explanation and anyone who's been doing it for any length of time acts like you should just immediately know shit from first principles. It gets brought up a lot because most of it is solid, foundational and useful advice.
