Prostitution is the oldest profession. It has always existed and it will always exist. The presence of prostitutes and brothels is crucial for making a game setting and world feel realistic and lived in. Otherwise, it will lack all verisimilitude. So, tell us, how have you incorporated prostitution into your game?
>>97811913Player characters are also well poised to offer that kind of service for supplementary income.>PCs are often race unusual for the region, that factor alone makes them in demand even with average looks>PCs are usually powerful enough to deal with troublesome clients all by themselves.>PCs usually don't linger in one place long enough to draw ire from people running local business on whose income their might trespass>PCs should be already well equpipped to deal with minor injuries, disease, or any such negative consequence sustained in the process.And general thrill-seeking nature of adventuring has implicit overlap with thrill-seeking nature of sleeping around. Might as well get paid for it.
>>97813488>WHAT DO?Prostitution.

>when your players kill the starter villain in 3 rounds so you have to quickly compress all the foreshadowing dialogue before they diemy hag lost a lot of her mystique and mannerisms last sunday
>>97815556Yeah, imagine the players being able to affect things in the world by making decisions. Imagine if the game was different from every formulaic boring trash novel you've ever read, and you couldn't predict events in advance, so your mind was actually engaged. Awful.
>>97815397How?I know you said they "took a shortcut through random encounter forest to reach her before her main attack squad was back, and then convinced her personal guards to defect" and "it was a whole thing", but how?What are their classes?What tools did they use?What measures did the hag take to protect her life in the event her initial contingency was bypassed?Did you even know what the party was capable of at that point?Did the party hide her scrying eye in a stupid dark cave?Did the party kill one of her sisters, so she couldn't manifest her most powerful spells?
>>97817485lol you think this actually happened
>>97817496I don't think I'll get an earnest answer.
>>97817472I mean there are games that do lends themselves to theatrics because they somewhat enforce them through rules (for example in Hero you can "attack" with presence), i would assume you can use some optional rule (like some advanced fright check from some horror splat) even in d&d but as is there's nothing enforcing the pc to simply sitting there listening to the bbeg monologuing.
I'll start>D&D 5E is a heroic fantasy game (I didn't say good), trying to do anything else should have you using a different system.
>>97817302roleplaying is gay desu
>>97817270It's not equivalent, it IS roleplaying. Dumbfuck.
>>97817168They're games, first and only.
>>97817434>>97817430>>97817425>>97817392I can roll dice and follow the written just as easily as you.But you still cant roleplay. In a roleplaying game.Pathetic.
>>97817505>I can roll dice and follow the written just as easily as you.But you don't because you don't play games. You just say stupid things to get a reaction.
Any suggestions for systems built for urban fantasy settings? I know there's World of Darkness but I'm looking for something that is more combat focused and less story telling. Monster of the Week has been suggested to me but I'm just not a big fan of PBTA, the systems just don't feel like a game to me as bullshit as that sounds.
>>97815373Savage Worlds with the Horror Companion.-or-Eden Studios Buffy and Angel games.
Hate to say it, but pic related is probably your best bet if you want something that is combat focused. It's just a shame that it's by Tom Lancer.
>>97815373MotW is alright if you want to run something looser, but combat is rule of cool and lots of handwaving. You could do an alright Hellboy-style campaign with it, but you only get back what you put into a pbta system, meaning if you aren't feeling it, you won't have a good time.Unknown Armies is more about fucked up magic and Delta Green is more about being off-the-books agents killing Lovecraft monsters. It's actually pretty hard to find some urban fantasy games that aren't also pbta though. You might have to grab a generic system like Basic Roleplay (same system used by CoC and Delta Green) and fashion something to your liking.>>97816551It's not good at any of the things that OP requested, though.
>>97815373Call of Cthulhu using the Pulp expansion could work. Characters are much more competent and survivable, and able to do more fantastic things, and there are rules for playing psychics or mystics.
>>97816551>Tom LancerIs that a short of Tom Bloom, the woke cancer and author of Lancer?
Is there ANY miniature wargame that isn't insanely expensive? I'm talking about things you can buy in a box and play immediately, not "print your own minis" bullshit or things where you're forced to use proxies cause official models don't exist.
>>97817089I think they are still making HeroClix despite Crisis Protocol being a thing.
>>97816751If only they werent technologically stagnant and able to use the same technology that actual hobby companies use to meet far higher demand with far higher quality
>>97817200Again, why should they if their customers do not ask for it? Which wargame would require such miniatures? What purpose would it serve?Even bandai, who have the knowledge and skill on how to make posable gunpa kits decided to not do that for their own wargame. Why should anyone else?
>>97811387>Toy Soldiers like your pic related>Quality has went downI feel like the quality was better twenty odd years ago when they were basically slightly smaller knockoffs of Airfix/Matchbox germans and british paratroopers. Now they are all copies of copies of copies.
>>97814744Because the rules in TW are virtually the same as in the Battletech Compendium. I do not trust Catalyst to not """"streamline""" the game for """modern audiences"""" and making it just Alpha Strike 2.
>mimimi, humans don't have their own feature, mimimi, we have to invent somethingNecromancy right here. When was the last time you saw non-human necromancer, lich or vampire? That's right, they practically don't exist because other races are simply inferior when it comes to necromancy and those non-human undead are so pathetic that everyone forgets about their existence in 5 minutes . Except for that one orc, but even he understood that he was worthless and therefore got himself a human body to finally become a full-fledged lich. So yes, here is your feature humans - necromancy, you know that I am right, you can't run away from the truth forever.
>>97817535I didn't say anything about half races.
>>97817520As was pointed out here>>97816702 only human are interested in necromancy seriously. For other races necromancers are freaks and exceptions, not the rule. So the maximum what you have is an elf who goes through the necromancy phase as a teenager.
>>97817544If you seriously believe this, you're a fucking retard who can't read.
>>97817531Oi, your slop should count, but not mine? Classic, I didn't expect anything else.
>>97817535>The Exception (Bretons): Bretons are the primary exception, being the result of centuries of interbreeding between Aldmer (elves) and Nedic humans, though they are considered more human than elven today.Ok tourist.

>>97811485Now wait a baby god damn minute.... Extraction card game. You have to run the gauntlet of PVE environments and gather as much valuable loot as you can, and when the match progresses after a certain amount of turns, the game gets increasingly hard to extract. The ire system like from LOTR lcg could basically represent how much the map/npcs are aware of your presence and are mobilizing to stop you. As higher threat is achieved it forcefully summons the best enemies up to that cap. Whatever gear you successfully exfil with you can take on your next run, but if you biff it, that's gone from your inventory until you can dig it back up. Of course the hardest thing would be shuffling all these piles of loot together for every single box you interact with, and then how does the game scale for extra players becomes another issue. Could players fuck each other over? That seems like an important part of the extraction genre. I guess they couldn't directly harm you but maybe they can redirect the map's NPCs towards you to make it more difficult. If you drop anything someone can make an attempt to grab your discarded loot. I dunno, sounds like it could be a thrilling experience, and one that has never graced card games before.

>>97815610Correct. The Sabbat think they're 2-0, but they're 0-2. Pretty much the only person who successfully, with no caveats, killed an Antediluvian was fucking Troile. because I am a Ventrue Antediluvian truther, way too many 4th gens exist for him to have been dusted in the second city . Augie still left behind Cappadocius's soul and Saulot was indigestible by Tremere. >>97816244I actually like this April Fool's bit. It's low on interactivity between posters, but at least it serves as something of a pleb filter, at least there's an appeal to site culture . Lastly, while your idea is novel, it does make posting a little tedious to type.
>>97816957Thats why you just highlight text and control + s now youre censoring like a real NWO pencil pusher. Though nta i find it really funny how the Sabbat like constantly jerk off themselves for being the destroyers of the Antedilluvians they pretty much exclusively just make noise and do nothing rather than hunting down the actual threats to the world like the Camarilla Inner Circle, the Antedilluvians, or even Methuselahs who are all insane threats to their world view and life style instead just feeding like parasites on a carcass and attacking weak cammie cities or wartorn regions/3rd world nations
If the VtM to VtR2e conversion anon is aroundI couldn't find any mention of vampire fangs dealing lethal damage to other vampires in the text. Considering they are lethal in Requiem and Aggravated in V20, I'd imagine they stay lethal in the coversion, but without mention one could imagine this means they do bashing, as per the "only if it says lethal to vampires" ruleMeanwhile, level 2 Protean Claws say they do lethal, while level 4 specifies Lethal to vampires, so I imagine it's intentional that level 2 only does bashing to vampires.
>>97817011The Protean thing is intentional and a direct port from Requiem, 2 dots say the claws are "mundane" weapons, whereas 4 dot claws are specified to still deal lethal to vampires. Will add an "even to vampires" to the section on bites.
>>97816823Never, the union will make sure of that. and that's a good thing. Ivory Tower and Media Control are working overtime to sanitize this mess. Everyone was involved, even the Mad Convention. Why do you think Stephen Hawking was there?.

>>97817213This makes as much sense as wotc needing to clarify discard as "discards a card of their choice"; you dont have to bat for them this hard they're just being retarded
>>97817403Well that one actually does sometimes make sense, there's often a mix of cards that let you choose along with cards that let the opponent choose.
>>97816977I googled her and if they did, they butchered her face.
>>97817045This makes sense.
>>97817415Opponents does a thing only makes sense to default to the opponents decision unless otherwise stated, as they are the ones doing it. You doing a thing is, similarly, your decision for the same reason. There is absolutely no point in adding the line that they choose when it's the default.
So, now you need to decide. Do you close your eyes to what you've seen and go back to sleep? Or do you come with this psycho burnout and do the impossible against the unbelievable and keep the future at bay for another day? What's it going to be? In or out?Yeah? You dumb shit.>Thread Question:What’s a moment where your players genuinely surprised you and "broke" your scenario?>Unofficial Resources:https://delta-green.neocities.org
I'm kinda annoyed the Generic version of Delta Green (Cthulhu Eternal) still doesn't have rules for moving and attacking.
>>97817411Huh, I didn't realize that that's what Cthulhu Eternal was.
>>97817411>>97817431I’m not seeing anything tying Cthulhu Eternal to Delta Green. And, in any case, wouldn’t generic Delta Green be Basic Roleplaying?
>>97817455It looks like Cthulhu Eternal is the base Delta green system (3-18 stats, bonds as sanity armor, the DG combat system) but tailored to different eras. While it's broadly based on BRP, it's quite a bit different in the details.
>>97817431>>97817455It has the core DG features like bonds and lethality ratings but lacks the glowie focus.

>produce indie module>send it to a few youtubers who review modules and have a decent reputation for independent thought>hey, I've seen some of this guy's videos and he has never once mentioned being paid>send free copy>get email from his agent quoting a price for a reviewWhy are they all like this?
>>97816639I don't think any "independent" in ttrpg scene is big enough to need or be able to afford an agent.>>97816651Yeah, that would explain it.
>>97817193The reviewer gets paid for his videos and through Patreon/PayPal/Superchat/etc regardless of what he's reviewing.And that aside, TTRPGs have effectively zero monetary value. There's no other product on the market that expects payment for something you have to create yourself; imagine if you paid $200 for a LEGO set, and the company told you to mold the bricks yourself? Imagine if you paid $500 for IKEA furniture, amd they told you to chop the trees, plane the wood, and forge the connector bits? That would be unacceptable. So why then pay $10-$20 for a ruleset you're going to be expected to either ignore, rewrite, or add to?There is no acceptable answer. The best "games" are those made to preference by their individual groups, and no "game" is suitable for anyone beyond their origin group.
>>97817445holy schizo tangent batman
>>97816639So, this is fake then? Cool.
>>97817462Your concession is accepted.
With how much the board is overly critical of D&D, I figured it would be interesting to find out what system /tg/ likes running?
Currently running Shadow of the Weird Wizard, and I've managed to convert no less than two people to hard swap to the system for their own tables.
>>97815654>they are open to try new games.>"maybe this time it'll actually be fun and I won't just have to be polite to the GM!"
>>97816655Who are you quoting?
>>97816655Project more.
>>97815654If you go to cons like GenCon, they'll teach you to play a new game and run you through a one-shot in a couple hours. Learning new systems is piss easy and even the complex ones can be grasped with a pregen character and a second sheet of paper that explains what your abilities do.People who think every game needs hours of study and multiple read-throughs of 900 pages of material are fucking idiots who didn't even do that when they kinda learned D&D.
