What kind of fantasy monsters are you into? I like original abominations, standard humanoids/mythological creatures/giant animals are boring to me.

>>97248016You can't really draw a hard line between traditional games and everything else, or really anything else, because the moment you even try I'll put it in my next game session.The guy spamming "traditional games?" even in threads as obviously related as a thread about monsters really needs to direct his energy towards something that isn't being a retarded board-killing pest, because that's no one's favorite monster, and one even I wouldn't include in a game, making him the least traditional games related thing in the universe.

I see that we're having one of those slow starting threads.I've been finalising the banners that I will be printing out. It's only two (one for the greatswords and one for the halberdiers), but I want them to really give off that Empire and Hochland vibe.

How do we fix Steampunk?
>>97236773I concur, the funnest part of Cyberpunk isn't the faggy retard with a mohawk spray painting a cyber dick on the side of a building and thinking it's sticking it to the man.It's the idea of society now being neo-feudalism, where corporations wage wars of espionage and sabotage against one another, and have coteries at their disposal from cyber ninjas to hackers that are regarded as "cyber mages" and you being one of those agents.

>>97222026This guy gets it. As an aside,>Victorian class structuresThe industrialization led to the birth of the modern middle class and the rise of "new money" in the face of pre-established "old money". People who otherwise used to have no business getting rich were now getting rich, and nothing throws society into a tizzy like threatening old rich people.
Incredibly funny to see the grug tier rambling ITT like steampunk doesn't have the most straightforward path to the punk part if you would bother to take Fuentes' and the Heritage Foundation's cocks out of your cocks for even a single minute and look at the history of the 19th century beyond your psychosexual race war fantasies.>>97230255>Most modern power plants (Nuclear, Coal, Natural Gas, etc.) are in actuality giant steam engines turning electric motors in order to generate electricity.Yeah that's what I meant. You want to keep the whole steam engine aesthetic, but replace the heat source with something that can more realistically power those typical steampunk mech and airship contraption instead of coal. IDK maybe it's just my autism but I find it kinda silly when you have some humongous coal powered machine that would obviously need a whole coal collier pullled up to it at all times for fuel.

>>97247960That would make sense but chaff pods are additional equipment "invented" in the 3060's, so probably not.The basic countermeasure suite for pretty much any combat vehicle in BT, going by how hyped up the ECM is, should include smoke and chaff launchers, dazzlers and radio jammers, but only radio jammers are presumably part of the basic ECM package. AMS also really shouldn't be lostech, it should be something that almost every mech has at least one of.
>>97247994ams probably requires pretty advanced electronics and stuff for the targeting and tracking id guess that needs maintenance and servicing not available in succ wars
>>97247969Wouldn't mech lights also be kind of the same thing? They're not on the record sheet, but your mech can turn on their lights to see in the dark.
>>97248001Going by our universe, it's not quite as advanced as that needed for the industrial production and field maintenance of military grade fusion engines.
>>97248012NTA, but it might be the computer parts and threat recognition software/hardware combined with enough shielding to not be affected by the generic ECM present on a battlefield. Comstar also might have also sabotaged attempts at recreating the technology whenever there was a chance of it developing.

Ultimately, I think 'magic' works better on a crafting basis. Your magic is object based. You know how to evoke the object. You know it's construction. You know how to build them. It's not like a gun where a literal ape can figure it out with some trouble. This is exclusive and even illicit knowledge. Rather than a book of spells, you have a bunch of different charms on your person or under your clothes you have to select for the situation. Requires forward thinking without horrific book keeping. Once you make your doodad, it's yours. While also being something you can remove from the character if necessary for any reason. Itemizing the magic caster makes them generally easier to design and balance. If you still want to make your end game spells, well, tell the GM you want to go on a quest to make a star you can make a wish on. Also I never really fell out of love with Morrowind's enchanting system. It just hits all the right design points no, anon, it's alchemy that let you jailbreak the system in particular. not enchanting. and flipping through your aresnal of trinkets and charms has a nice feel to it. Maybe it's that the foundation is more comprehensible than nebulous I WIGGLE MY FINGERS magic.
>>97247909One thing I've noticed is that DnD is criminally shit at making you understand the scale of what your character is capable of. A 5th level character in any edition is basically hitting the lower end of super hero territory. Any real world human is creatable (in 3.5 at least) as no more than a 2nd level character at most, and even then it's more like they're going to be an 'expert' classed individual. Not PC classes. It doesn't take many skill ranks to match any real world effort if you slap on circumstantial bonuses too (having a lab and a team to help you for instance) and focusing on only the one thing to begin with. There's an old article going in to much more exhaustive detail, but ultimately it doesn't solve the issue. You don't FEEL super competent or powerful, do you? No.
>>97247948i have the inverse feeling, i think. take the Thief class in AD&D and B/X D&D: just by BEING a Thief, at level 1 you can CLIMB SHEER SURFACES with a 85-87% (edition-dependent) chance of success. i suppose in 3.x terms that's a 'supernatural ability'.people bemoan older editions because 'oh i only get one spell a day? boohoo.' but look at how cantrips were introduced: x/day, rare/weak damaging spells. now look at them: they're your infinite attack spells.honestly i do get the feeling what scale a character is at in the old rules. it might not be mechanically balanced in some mathematical sense (lord knows it isn't) but it's easy to look at a magic-user's spell list and you immediately know what he CAN do. in fact that's the easiest class to determine that.plus there's power that isn't measured in damage and spells. fighters getting castles, thieves getting dens. or hell, you all pitch in for a boat. boats are pretty powerful.
Recently I was thinking about alternative combat systems.I remember someone talking about instead of HP the payer has a Jenga tower and he needs to remove peaces once hit, the skill is to remove peaces without the tower collapsingSo I started thinking.For example what if the combat somehow involves cups and balls?Instead of a D20+modifier nonsense why not change it up? Why not give a player 10 balls or legos or whatever and to win an encounter the player needs to land 2 balls in 1 cup?There can be variants of this like a super hard encounter demands the player lands all 10 balls or what about reducing the size of the cup with the difficulty of combat?What if we implement a fate system from Talisman for the players? What if legendary bosses have something like that for themselves? And can negate the players victory? What if different monsters use different "balls" like for example some bone golems will be you throwing legos into cups and zombies are aluminum balls while naga can be gummy bears? That actually makes the monster feel different and not a copy pasted set of numbers. Also the different aerodynamics of these "balls" are part of the fun.Comment too long.

>>97243134>>Each toss is still a discrete event>?????When you remove a Jenga block from a tower, the removal of that block affects every subsequent removal.>>so it doesn't have a linearity the way there is with Dread.>???????????The Jenga tower is going to fall. That is factually inevitable. Technically, if improbably, you could roll a d20 a million times in a row and never get less than 10, but Jenga will eventually reach a point at which it is impossible to remove a block without bringing down the tower. It will likely fall earlier than that, though, due to a combination of factors including which block you're removing and which ones have previously been removed.>What is the difference between There isn't one--that's my point. As a simple substitution, the ball-and-cup wouldn't add any mechanical tension that isn't already present in rolling a die. Your vague platitudes that people would care more about the result have more to do with GMing style than with the physical method discussed.>>97243938>I think it might work to model the feeling of combat. Aiming for weak spots, and so on.See, this is the first actual suggestion that presents any advantage to the beer pong over dice. Different cups of different sizes, at different distances from the player, could be used to deal more or less damage to an opponent. You'd have your easy, all-but-certain options that you'd need more of, or you could go for the ones you're more likely to cock up but would significantly shorten the duration of the combat. While this could be achieved with dice simply by changing target number, a pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey board with cups arranged on it could be more evocative in certain games--though it does carry the slight disadvantage that all relevant information would have to be presented to the players up front, rather than any of it remaining hidden.
>>97239642>This is not even a coherent ideaYou got that right, sister
>>97239642The idea is cool, in the same way motion controls are.They COULD actually improve a real life skill, but that means at least minor physical exertion. Given the mindset of most people in Tabaletop games, it's going to fail.If I wanted to improve myself I wouldn't be playing a tabletop game. They are leisure. And trying to sneak in actual effort, be it ever so trivial, will result in disappointment.I know everyone here is gigachad, but be honest for a second and look at the average tabletop gamer. If they had even the slightest will to change they would've long ago.
...so is the gag here that OP is upset he had to solve a puzzle, instead of just rolling an 'Intelligence check'?
