Thread #02 Lean Winter on the TundraPrevious Thread: >>97090196Welcome to /un0/, an RP thread for playing a World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness Hunter. For any OOC questions about WoD/CofD, check the official general. >>97224887Rules:>We are acephale. There is no storyteller, we are not a quest.>This thread is based primarily but not exclusively in the nWoD/CofD game Hunter: the Vigil. However, Vigil is defined by being highly setting agnostic, with a system for creating entirely custom monsters that do not exist in other WoD/CofD games. Thus, you have significant freedom in what you want to play and what you want to hunt. Feel free to play a member of the Society of Leopold, or a member of the Lucifuge hot on the tail of a Lasombra.>Namefagging is encouraged but by no means mandatory.>Keep in mind that even highly experienced Hunters typically only have fractured pieces of the puzzle, and every table has their own canon. The night is dark and full of misinformation.>/un0/ is conceived of as an experimental end to end encrypted program that is very hard to compromise, retains very little data and purges that data regularly. Please play an actual Hunter.>Spoiler any OOC discussion.Happy hunting. Unless this thread somehow takes off like a rocket, this will be the last un0 thread for the foreseeable future. Towards the end of the thread, please give your feedback in regard to these shorter, limited run RP threads.
>>97254355And who's been telling you this? Have you actually encounter anything that doesn't have an enforced rest period? You haven't been employing more than school yard tactics from what you mentioned. I fear to imagine how easy you would turn on your fellow humans if something whispered in your ear. >>97253981They can entertain other explanations, at least.
>>97254815>>97254889>>97255152It's not dogma, it's the truth, not all my brothers feel the same way by the way, so don't mix me and my beliefs in with my duty as a Hunter. Some of them arent even Christian, the Maltese Cross is that of firefighters,mit goes beyond just Christianity. Our physical existence doesn't matter, the most grievous wound to our body or mind does nothing to our soul. It's not our bodies that will leave this world of darkness.Demon ARE real! You've got me there. I've had to slay more than a few myself. Fae are just fallen angels but might as well work on the same principals. Bound by words, wounded by iron, etc. Demons are the only real "outside threat" so you've got me there. But even then, demons are not typical Hunter targets, it's mostly ghosts & vampires, & werewolves, & monsters.
>>97255152I'm fine with them as long as they don't do anything stupid and don't question my methods.
>>97255909I'm gonna need the fae connection explained.

Do you prefer systems with a strict class-based martial/caster division or classless systems that allow anyone to dip into anything at the cost of never being great at it?
>>97254119Everytime time I see it posted, the thread didn't bump on the catalogue This poster has a habit of posting that and saging.
>>97229027Ugh, this looks like shit.
>>97253985>How much time do you spend explaining to your players your design philosophy?I just take a classless system, but write up a handful of optional archetypes/templates to pick, or if a player isn't interested in any templates, then I write up a short list of limits and requirements for players to follow. I also include a brief explanation of the premise of the campaign, so players know what to expect and build their characters accordingly. During character advancement or "level-ups", I offer optional trait packages, or allow players to pick their own individual traits within certain simple yet well-defined guidelines. If players have any questions, then I'm glad to give further elaborations. These are things that every good GM should be doing anyways.>Have you never had a player complain or argue with you about why the class you built should work differently?Certainly. I often get requests from players to swap out an ability for a class, or for permission to break a certain limit to achieve a particular concept that makes sense in the setting. Classless systems make these sorts of changes easy, since classless systems often have a clear metric for defining the "value" of different character options, and give warnings or reassurance about what combinations might break or might not the game. Class-based systems are rarely so clear-cut, and are much easier to break by trying to modify, because there are rarely such guidelines.

Trench Raiding With The Lads Edition>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/Comment too long.

>>97257311100% true, Sisko's entire arc is built around it, and watch DS9. If you're on the fence just watch Duet, the episode >>97257299 posted, to get an idea of how good the show can get.
>>97257311Yeah they kind of went off the deep end near the end. Apparently the one villain was too well liked so they made him extra comically evil and imo ruined the show.
>>97257322I've seen enough TNG and Voyager to know that quality can range from dogshit filler waste-of-time to absolute kino, but:>No. of episodes: 176No fucking thank you. I don't even like watching anime that go longer than 2 cours, it has to be cream of the fucking crop for me to accept a 52-ep long series
>>97257340You can skip Move Along Home, that brings it down to just 175.
>>97257350Many years ago I watched The Clone Wars with this watch guide that said which episodes were filler/skippable and which were actually important for the story, cut the series down to like 1/3 of the running length. If something similar exists for DS9 then I'd think about it.
Post amazing terrain, amazing tables, and good looking games Rules: no slop!
>>97251794>murder Bro it's a bird you gaping pussy
>>97213658Trench Crusade has been a fucking mess since its very inception. Anyone with any sense will have nothing to do with it.
>>97251221Whenever you go to stores, look around for random bullshit that you can just buy and turn into terrain. Electrical switch boxes, birdhouses, pringles cans, pvc pipes, shipping tubes, toy playsets, a container of peanuts that looks vaguely fuel tank shaped, etc. You'd be surprised how many of these items can be turned into nice terrain pieces if you just paint them, texture them and glue random shit on like straws, foam bricks, 3D printed doors and windows, corrugated paper, cardstock shingles, etc.
>>97252359Good advice. For example, I have a nice crenellated guard tower I picked up at Michael's for $5, in the birdhouse isle. :)

I feel like this edition has alot of objectively bad things about it and is absolutely where the alot of worst qualities of current editions showed up. But I feel like I prefer playing this edition compared to a lot of previous editions and 10th edition. Its a weird transitional period where there's still a lot of the old units that haven't been legended yet while still having the fucking Primaris lot. Its strange but I don't feel like I'm missing out on much staying on this edition and playing with friends casually instead of going back to playing the current edition.
>>97245050Jokes on you I already checked out. Bring the sloppa forward (to subsidize the games I play now)

>>97252735>refering to Monty Python as a concept

>>97252802Monty Python is the name of a group of comedy performers (about half of which are now deceased), rather than the name of a particular individual.

>>97256868Funniest part is absolutely nobody is playing Leyline of the Void rn despite reanimator being a t1 deck
>>97255868>TQshame the card sucks though
>>97257013> Energy meanwhile gives you counters that do literally nothing unless you use other energy cards.Except all playable enegy cards generate energies and can use it right of the bat without needing to build it. People play Amped raptor in deck where it has cascade. Guide of souls don't need any other enegy cards to work. Static prison is the only card that could use other energy generating card but is already fine on its own. All of the playabe energy cards are their own pay off, they are good stuff card and the energy synergy barely matter.
>self-synergetic cards are goodwow no shit
>>97233837Would, would, and would.
>>97238074Honestly the competitive only side of things has ruined most games beyond just 40k. Any conversion for 40k, AoS, or even old world has led to some people getting pissy. You get questions like, "How will someone know that this conversion is supposed to be a bloodthirster." I don't know, maybe because it is one of only two bloodthirsters in a list and is one of the largest models on the board.
Great group, mostly. Biggest problem is this one annoying troon who keeps trying to migrate everyone to her personal discord and act as the "group mother" despite not playing games a lot. She's a great opponent when she does play (Old World, 2e 40k, etc) but she tries to police what everyone else does. Nobody really pays her mind and asks her to leave them alone when it gets overbearing.
>>97245767This isn’t a thing anymore and its a shame because even with sound off a local scifi toystore is where I first say bits of the Matrix and all sorts of cool things that got me excited as a young kids.

AI GM?
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.
>>97228087Ive had to deal with GM retardation more often.>Muh storyBro, the story is a collective creation. If you want the characters to do exactly what you want, write a book. I'll never get over succeeding at all three tries in a VtM game where I was hacking into a door, only for the GM to then say >haha the alarm starts resounding and you have been found out That's not what hacking or success means
>>97242742I remember them.They were kinda cute when they had the boyfriend/girlfriend thing going on.But James and "GuardBro" are pretty unfunny/uninteresting, and farming /tg/ for content and recycling old 1d4chan pages was always like gleaning leftovers from the bottom of a bust-open septic tank.Still better than reading verbatim from Lexicanum mind, like some "Loretubers" I could name.
Consequences. Actual Consequences
>>97228087I tell my players what their characters ought to know or be able to intuit about the situation, which usually curbs their retardation. 9/10 times, stupid decisions are due to misunderstandings or a lack of information on the part of the party.
Retardation is ttrpgs
