New year new me edition>Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk RED?Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that focuses on simulation gameplay and has a black trenchcoat aesthetic.Cyberpunk RED is the fourth edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that is set after Cyberpunk 2020 following the Fourth Corporate War, focuses on more balanced gameplay and is more streamlined but has less content.You can discuss Shadowrun here too because I also feel bad for those guys.>Cyberpunk Rulesets (The Vault) (May not have all updated rulebooks, check official sources for updates):bit<dot>ly/2Y1w4Md>Resources for RED:https://datapool2045.net/Comment too long.

>>97339777>Everything that you have said regarding it so far has affirmed my concerns that players will bitch and moan about "optional" mechanics at the expense of players who want to actually use these systems.NTA, but maybe the answer is to cut down on these optional systems if they're causing friction? Red has a problem where it doesn't know if it wants to be a hard, crunch focused game or a loose narrative game and those two design principles often butt heads.I don't think putting invention in a separate splat is necessary, but it is odd that the Tech has an ability that basically gives the Player carte blanche to break the game when Red is typically very anal about combat balance and all the Tech's other abilities are pretty balanced.
>>97341241I am not confident you are doing this on purpose so I'm trying not to chew out your entrails, but the answer to the problem of 'people keep wanting to cut systems' being 'you should cut systems' is textbook begging the question and I'm about a minute away from actually fucking tweaking over it.Without the ability to make new stuff, Tech is just a slow Fixer with a bunch of extra skill points and the ability to fix their armor for a fight and no social skills.
>>97341731>Without the ability to make new stuff, Tech is just a slow Fixer with a bunch of extra skill points and the ability to fix their armor for a fight and no social skills.This has a really simple solution: Don't put Tech in core. Only introduce it alongside its complex subsystem.

>>97343674That's very kind of you anon, I'm glad you connected with my work. I look fondly on the period of my life that I spent making it.
If you want anons to really think about picking powers, just replace points with a meter. It's easy to minmax your build when you just have to spend abstract currency. It's really hard to justify being greedy with powers if every power you choose fills your Feminisation meter. I mean, sure, you CAN pick the most optimal and overpowered combo, but is it worth it if you become a futanari with no way to turn back?

This game had such a kino setting. What is a good system to play a kung-fu RPG that involves a lot of punching?
>>97345007Yeah, you definitely aren't the guy looking like a retarded faggot here.
>>97345156Yeah, I am not losing my shit and crying about the woke boogeyman because some anon used the word they.
>>97342943You should go there, since you're clearly incapable of reading the post.
>>97345064You misunderstand. I'm not saying this thread is made by some assblasted faggot. Although the glut of thinly veiled vidya threads in the last 24 hours is highly suspicious all the same. I'm saying the guy who had half a dozen posts deleted from this thread doing some kind of retarded song and dance where he complains that the thread is off-topic and then tries to change to a more blatantly non-/tg/ subject is the assblasted faggot. Possibly the guy from the meta-thread a couple days ago who kept insisting that everyone asking about systems or demanding that lazy OPs substantiate their vague questions with game with a game system was an unforgivable troll that was destroying /tg/.
>>97347258NTA have you considered that the other vidya threads might have been made by said assblasted faggot in response to his posts getting deleted?Also I'm not sure I see the logic in the latter half of your post where these two would be the same. So the guy that says this thread is off-topic is also the one against people pushing back against threads like this?

>>97345236Gooner? Huh?
>>97345346Yes he did.
>>97345669I believe some editions of L5R did something like that but it didn't really help as the resources that would let you ignore the penalties would often be consumed early in a fight for other reasons or be forced to spend those resources (and not use them for fun stuff) to counter the penalties if a lucky hit occurred at the start of the fight. In many ways the death spiral turned the game into one of rocket tag even though characters and opponents could have large amounts of wounds.
>>97345045Nta but a probability based system with hit location based chances for organ and CNS damage, modifiers for cartridges, mitigated by armor, and adding shock.

>>97343089Loving playing Snotlings so far. I love having a swarm of the 'worst' players with the lowest strength, worst armor, and a only a sluggish 5 movement. I love being able to reliably dance through defensive screens, attempting fingers crossed throw team mates and bombs, and swarming downed challengers to mercilessly foul. You can call me an autist, but I love making little screams and death-gurgles when the little bastartds get smooshed.2 trolls and 2 wagons? It's just too fun.

Lets talk about what makes a player or GM truly great? Is it how a player makes their character, roleplay at the table, a GM who is very descriptive, etc.Or we can share stories about really good players or GMs we met at our own tables.
Good GMs run fun games that instantly deliver on a premise:>"we will be running a game where the players are high-end art thieves in the 1980s">first session cold-opens to a giant mansion with masked security goons where the party must decide how they're going to steal a priceless statue in the foyerBad GMs run campaigns that struggle to find their footing and waste time:>same premise as above>first session is about the players meeting an NPC who will pay them to steal art, also the players get attacked by bandits>GM runs out of steam before the giant mansion heist because they planned three sessions of prerequisite plot beats
>>97344439Mmm you’re presenting things poorly to help push your argument. Often a lot of the fun in heists comes from before they actually begin in the recon, resource gathering, and planning stages An in medias res cold opening removes the opportunity for that, and vastly limits the amount if approaches the players could have taken
>>97344484>Mmm you’re presenting things poorly to help push your argument.both of those examples are things I experienced
>>97336416>There's people that always comes late, or doesn't read the group chat, or says they're not coming at the last minute "because they're tired" (while they work 20 hours per week and I can touch 60)...they don't have the balls to say they don't care, or they don't even realize it, for them the game night is just something that is there, if there's something else to do they deem better, they do that without a second thought.I've had to explain this to quite a few gamers, mostly in the context of them being annoyed at not getting invited.Our most serial flake is the kind who will bang on about 'not having the spoons' to sit through D&D, but will have a miraculous recovery when he wants to play video games ordinary something that just so happens to be less effort than a 20 minute drive.Fuck those guys, calling your time and energy 'spoons' to garner sympathy doesnt mean it automatically gets priority over everyone else's. The 'spoons' of the four people you messed around and who's now have to make other plans are never considered, naturally.
>>97344845>not having the spoonsNever heard of the Spoons Theory, I had to google it. The lady who made this shit up had fucking lupus, her body is under siege and she has an excuse. No person who isn’t suffering from a disability or a similar chronic illness has any business invoking this shit seriously, they’re just being lazy and self-centered. Kick them immediately.

Honestly I feel like drawing perfect resources off the bat in the early years is such a curse, because I want to save them which cripples my early game resource efficiency. I almost wish they were only added to the deck for level 2+ monsters only

>>97307984After Andris had managed to stabilize and drag Lancel out of the clearing a muscular centigor emerged from the forest. She tread softly toward the fallen Skivare and looked down upon her for almost a minute. With a swift chop of her machete she severed Skivare's head, picked it up, and traveled the beast paths to one of the Bleeding rose minor herdstones. She spent the rest of the day cleaning the skull and left it at the base of the new shrine, returning every day make sure it was still there and grow her hatred. Slowly more of the Bleeding rose herd came as well over the following days.Lancel takes several days to recover. His severe concussion slowed his recovery and addled his memory. When he is awake he hollers at anyone nearby that the woods are infested with black beasts out to kill mankind. The few men left of his retinue eye each other as though he's lost his mind, while the elves do their best to hide their reactions entirely. It takes a full week, but eventually he has recovered enough for the elves and men to put together a caravan to return them to the north. Skogsra took notice of the centigor who performed the respect given to Skivare and the offering of her flesh. Here was the first time one of the brays have done something new, something the brays chose to do themselves to honor their fallen leader. Skogsra rewards their new culture with a new creation: the black fountains, the first of which is built using the skull of Skivare herself. As for the centigor, she is afforded the gift to choose her own name. The new Beastlord, Warhoof Kastrerande, now leads the Bleeding Rose Brayherd.Good unusable gens - This shirt barely trying - https://files.catbox.moe/ksbmgk.jpgMore Kastre - https://files.catbox.moe/ar0qs4.jpghttps://files.catbox.moe/e8ni02.jpg

>>97344193Bitch you do not speak for all the fuckass brinkmanship I've seen at individual tables. It's why I hate it more than WW's usual shitty NPCs
>>97344226Alright, fine, I'll admit that saying that it's not truer for any table ever was an exaggeration. Since claiming that it's "always joined to some petty smear against whatever exalt type" was even more of an exaggeration, though, I don't think you should complain.
>>97339438I think one of the old devs just really like Promethean and wanted to shoehorn them into Exalted. I don't hate the Liminals' design space or the idea of a death-themed terrestrial-tier exalt in principle, but I think the Liminals are pretty lame. They would be more interesting if they were just some unique kind of monster instead of another exalt type.
There's such a thing as being a dragon patron.You have bigger fish to fry than doing government work, but you're the strongest thing around.So you install yourself as a figurehead, and tell them not to bother you unless you need to stab someone. Occasionally you ask some of the peasants if there's a corruption problem or shockingly incompetent leadership. If they say yes, you stab a few officials until the problem resolves.
>>97345240Being a dragon patron also means you generally have to stick around and can't go gallivanting off on cool adventures
I know there's Everyone Is John, is there anything like picrel? A lighter Fiasco-style game, mixed with Monster of the Week? (Ideally not PbtA please.)Also what are /tg/'s thoughts on SP? Both the comic and the movie.
>>97344560You don't need a system for slice of life. Just do freeform and maybe a random roll for vibes here and there.I never felt the urge to find out what scott pilgrim is.
>>97344560Slugblasters is basically Scott Pilgrim if he was a skater bro instead of a band kid
>>97344560Literally none of those games are compatible nor slice of life, and neither is Scott Pilgrim.>>97346470Slugblaster isn't remotely analogous to Scott Pilgrim, either.
>>97344560You'll have to be more specific about what you like about all those things.You can run SoL in almost any light universal system, FU, Fate, MiniSix, Risus, GURPS...You could probably run Cozy Mork Borg if you felt like it.
>>97344560Just use OVA.

>>97332330We need more context for this anon. Have you played anything other than D&D before? Are your players familiar with the kind of game Daggerheart is? Are you using the starter adventure?
>>97343590It's more like>You picked a winged species>But someone else used the card that lets their character lift another character with them while flying>So your character with giant wings can't ever use those wings to pick someone upAnd then there's the "Hope" metacurrency which is needed to use many abilities, but is only gained through random chance. What the fuck is "Hope" in the context of the game's fiction? It's nothing. It's just an arbitrary restriction to make the game more "cinematic" while actually being way more game-y and asinine about what characters can do during play. Oh, and the initiative system is just Calvinball. Do whatever you want as often as you want. Who cares if the enemies never get a turn?
