Welcome to Mecha Monday! Here we dedicate ourselves to mecha RPGs, wargames, and boardgames alike. Here we start games, tell campaign stories, share resources & assets, and seek advice for our games and homebrew.Assorted Mecha Goodness:https://pastebin.com/E2wi55AZEmbryo Machine Translation:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1r_cjOLuUp3HussVRhbQYU3G0zK6hwy1rLancehounds Homebrew:M3g4 folder/eMEBUbCL#kj2FRrlqTa-02U16XpnVRgPrevious Thread:>>97092391Question of the Thread:Should mecha have hands?

Whats the better system to run for my dollar store Univrsal Centry setting?Gurps or mekaton?

>>97353202If you are going to be building all the stuff for the setting anyway I'd say GURPS. Especially since you can use both tactical and range band rules from Spaceships as needed. If you want do it in Mekton this is probably the best starting pointhttps://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Running_Mobile_Suit_Gundam_in_Mekton_ZetaBut you still need to build all the stuff yourself.
>>97353643>If you want do it in Mekton this is probably the best starting point>https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Running_Mobile_Suit_Gundam_in_Mekton_Zeta>But you still need to build all the stuff yourself.Just use Gundam Senki bro, the One Year War is what it's specifically build for so it has all the shit already statted.
>>97353060There are some American places that carry their stuff to get by the retarded shipping rates, for example Fortress minis
After playing both the original Shandalar and the 2016 update version I've come to the conclusion that magic was just more fun in 1995 when it was more loose and relaxed. The kinds of decks you go up against in the 2016 version are so much more ruthless about shutting down every play you make that the only way to compete is to be an even more obnoxious dickhead and make sure they never get a chance to do anything. Every victory was bitter and spiteful in a way that I never felt with the older simpler Magic cards.
If your campaign were a tv show, how charming would people find your character?
>Sociopath>Cat ears>Geordie accentProbably an 8/10 but only because people get attracted to broken people in media, because they can't stab them in real life.
>>97353744>a failed yuppie/corpo drone mix of Rokurō Okajima from Black Lagoon and Lyonel Huts gone rogue playing face and charlatan for the group of misfits he joined while trying to keep the 'business man' facadeI guess people would at least find him entertaining.
She is mixture of Inej Ghafa, Lisbeth Salander Elim Garak in Tiefling form.She would possess a magnetic, dangerous charisma, the kind that makes an audience lean in because they are never quite sure if she is about to kiss someone or cut their throat.
>>97353744>Questionably Arabic man amongst a group of questionably Arabic peopleThey would find them smelly
>>97353891So you made Taash from Dragon Age failguard, but you "think" you made lucretia borgia.
Besides Shadowdark, are there any other TTRPGs that have playable goblins?
>>97346093Glad you enjoyed them. I drew a few for the previous gobbo thread.
>>97341430Funny how that guy who insists goblins must be ugly is nowhere to be found.
>>97351756That's what I like about cartooning. You can make stuff as cute or as ugly as you like. A lot of my male goblin faces tend to look the same, but there's no reason you can't give them more rounded faces or stubbier noses for a little variety.
>>97351756He is a homosexual, plain and simple. Everything he says is just windowdressing.
where the goblin femboys at?

>>97353191How about a whip? For whipping people.
>>97346883This could revolutionize making model-accurate concept art for video games and anything which uses painted models (like warhammer), never let someone tell you that AI art can't involve skill/effort.
>>97354125It's already used for concept art, hardly a revolution
>Dark elves exist to be evil elves>There's occasionally orcs that are noble savages rather than pillagers>Even dwarves have some evil equivalents like chaos dwarfs in warhammer and whatnotWhat would a "Dark" equivalent to gnomes be like? How do you corrupt a little jolly bearded man from the woods into something evil?
>>97353997The Hobbit was published in 1937. Gnomes are folklore inventions from centuries ago. I think gnomes have endured for far longer. Regardless, the point is that trying to use gnomes to make them fit into Tolkien-inspired races is getting them backwards. They should be the original ones, older and more magical, no the other way around.
>>97353858>>97353874Rather then evil Gnomes, what would 'Good' Kobolds look like?
pretty sure Deep Gnomes are a thing in a few settings, and generally they're schizophrenic and disturbed by things that lurk in the deepest parts
>>97353846Gnomes are evil gnomes
>>97354009The Gnomes was published in 1977Paracelsus's gnomes have as much to do with modern fantasy gnomes as the dwarfs of the sagas have to do with Tolkien's dwarves"Gnome" has just become the standard English translation for a dozen different little guys from different European folklore

>>97353304Not gonne happen this edition. 4 operative teams are a no go and the other assassins are horus heresy only.
>>97353735Death cult assassins are diff than officio assassinorium doughbeit
>>97353937oh that, sorry then not gonne happen because sanctifier already have one.
>>97353304I'd say your best options are either using e.g. striking scorpions/banshees as a proxy, or enjoying the assassins in either sanctifiers or starstriders teams.
>>97354064nta, but Sanctifiers already overlap with Inquisitional Agents like this and those in turn overlap with Battleclade. I can see Death Cult kill team being made eventually, it would make sense here

Hi, does anyone have the playtest of Beast The Roleplaying Game?
>>97347958 here, requesting Total Warfare, Strategic Operations and Tactical Operations; I thought I had them, but I guess not.
Seconding this, please!
>>97354078First post over in /btg/ has links for BattleTech PDFs.
Do you prefer Pokémon, Yugioh, or Magic the Gathering?
>>97349059Fuck those guys.They are all gay, and they fuck the balance when you're the only guy with a planeswalker.I know, because I was that guy; got all my mates to go for the promotional free deck; everything was fine 'til I got a Gideon.It whacks the game balance; I drew that fucker and my mates povo decks crumbled.The mechanic is clearly a bolt-on, poorly balanced and poorly thought out.Needless to say, everybody got bummed out and stopped playing.Because planeswalker cards don't just suck conceptually, they suck the fun out of the game, and that's worse.But I digress.I have forsaken TCG's; they are of the devil.
>>97349059I actually don't hate planeswalkers from a mechanical standpoint, even if I think it's pretty unnecessary. They have done, and would do fine, as legendary creature cards.My beef is that the shift in portraying a wide cast of new planeswalkers as main characters was part of some very bad story decisions. We kind of saw two major sides of Magic before the Mending:>Planeswalkers as part of the conflict with Phyrexia, surrounding the life of Urza>The exploration of worlds where Planeswalkers are either wholly absent, or are more important for the background of the worlds that things are happening in, rather than the main focus charactersWhat we moved on to is:>"No, guys, we're totally not trying to capitalize on superhero team tropes right now. Who cares about the integrity of lore for the worlds we're visiting? It's all about the characters we can't write well! They're planeswalkers like you, so we want to lean into them, but we're losing faith in story's ability to be sold, so we're going to drop the ball right after we make this huge change in how we market the game!"
are pokemon ttrpgs discussed on /tg/?i was checking the catalog lately and haven't noticed any. please don't tell me to go to /vp/, I've briefly looked there and I don't want to do it ever again.
STOP AVOIDING THE FACT THAT OP IS POSTING RACISM OUTSIDE /b/YOU ARE NOT BEING CUTE BY PLAYING COYHE DID NOT MAKE THIS THREAD IN GOOD FAITH>b-but if we turn it INTO an interesting /tg/ thread, then...THEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS YOU WILL ATTRACT MORE /b/TARDS DOING THE SAME THING. REPORT AND IGNORE.
>>97354208would you really prefer me to make a second pokemon thread instad of hijacking this?
Douchemachine used to be the largest competition to GW. Now look at it and laugh
>>97353578Weird, in my area the 5e players are economic right, socially left and the OSR players are economic left *and* socially left.
>>97330704Ok, but what's the issue with Warmachine? Its unironically doing great, besides the lack of publicity>Models are great>Very fun to play>Dogshit resin from PP era now replaced by quality SFG resin>Frequent new releases>Already 3 new armies planned in advance>Extremely healthy printing culture>Old armies still getting support and 3D print STLs>Will get new year balance patch in like a weekHonestly the best wargame on the market right now, unless you're a Timmy brainlet that can't into combo play.
>>97344563M'negroid, metal minis are widely available from just about every seller I know outside of the two big ones (gw and warlord)
>>97354014Eh, I'm over igougo games.
>>97354014>They invalidated all my models I bought prior to Mk4. I have thousands worth of them with thousands of hours of painting.>Also, their 3d printed models are disgraceful compared to stuff on MMF. they have 0 excuse. Still the same big chunks with soft details.>Mk3 themes gave everyone PTSD. Today it's awesome combos, tomorrow it's themes requiring the newest riot quest model, priced at $100 for a limited edition figure smaller than a guardsman.>Where TF is menoth?

i don't get it
>>97353709>I'm perplexed why nobody has just shown you a screenshot and told you to fuck off yet.Same, I would fuck off if I saw proof of anyone actually engaging with this game. I already established that, or are you too stupid to understand that much?>I'm le owning the troll with my screencapProves nothing lol, as far as I know you're just white knighting for yourself. But hey, if you're not OP, it should be easy to take a pic of your game being played, and not just screenshot YouTube promo shit. Since OP couldn't manage that, surely you can.
>>97354128You are mad somebody is making something, yet you are barren, like a childless forty year old woman seething at a new family.I showed you the screenshot, Wilbur.It could have been edited, but isnt it more likely that you are just a frustrated retard with emotional and intellectual problems?I mean, I'd have sympathy, if you werent demonstrating your ugly inner nature.Do be a dear, piss off and die somewhere nobody can smell your remains fermenting.Ugly boy.

>>97342589I like big fucking axes.I like throwing big fucking axes.My favourite monster is a magically animated big fucking axe that flies around on it's own.My favourite magic spell is "I hit you with a fucking axe"My favourite character type is a guy holding a big fucking axe.My favourite non-weapon item or gadget is a little axe that's actually a razor/bottle openerMy favourite type of adventure involves recovering powerfully enchanted magical axes, which are guarded by enchanted flying axes.My favourite setting is anywhere I can bring an axe.My favourite genre is Axepunk, where the entire economy and basis of civilization revolves around making, selling and using axes to solve problems.My adjective is "Visceral".I can describe over four hundred distinct and variably lurid ways to kill somebody with an axe.If I could choose Axe for a race that would be dandy, but Dwarf or Warforged is close enough.

We have all experienced the coming and going so GMs, Players and games; and then left holding the bag too start all over again at Square One. If and when you have to start over from scratch how and where (online) would you start I'll look for groups and games?There has been numerous reasons that would force someone to start all over again be it scheduling, life, work, people changing.
>>97350705>an ugly bastard of every ethnicity and genderDont worry anon, you're invited
Starting from scratch especially at a beginner's level and this hobby is a nightmare.
>>97349305Play solo with schizo oracle tables
>>97349305probably find a bunch of rando sites to advertise on, run oneshots and poach the good players for a proper game
i like how people have interpreted this in different ways.but i'd make it a black-and-white rule: no technology. or maybe, no technology for COMMUNICATION (print out character sheets, sure).one of those axioms like "don't eat any foods your grandparents couldn't have". it's folksy but if you omit keyboards and screens, there goes /tg/, Reddit, Discord, Roll20 (and the rest).you may even have to play games with your friends that you already know. (or the ones you'll make, moving to a new area.)

>>97354149Oh fuck, now we're cooking
>>97354172bonus spectrum points if you make it look like a charging station of some sort of mechanical device, so you can also use it as terrain
>>97351936That black wash totally ruins the effect. Verdigris is contrasts so nicely with metal because it's matte, the wash glosses it up.
>>97353731Looks alright. It's a bit of a messy scheme so try to keep things neat to make it seem more deliberate. I'd also wash the metal before adding verdigris because of >>97354256.
