>>97272545>Would you rather be mentally transformed into an eager slave who is compelled to devote their life to their blood-sucking master without any regard for their former priorities, with the bonus of being a slave who doesn't age and has superpowers, or would you rather be born into the lower caste of a cult that seeks to prevent a very real and literal apocalypse, which might involve you being disrespected and/or injured by the supernaturally angry higher caste of the cult, potentially including your family?Honestly? I'd rather be born into an objectively righteous cause and know that I'm contributing to my family and loved ones, even if I'm lesser than them, than be mind-fucked into abandoning much of my previous identity so that I can adore and orbit a self-interested vampire and serve as their eager slave instead, no matter the bonus superpowers and lack of aging.
>>97272687>Objectively righteous cause>He doesn't know>Ignores the part where you're basically a breeder/stress relief for the relatively violence-prone higher caste members (depending on tribe)Fair perspective though, at least Kinfolk are morally more correct compared to the often self-interested ghouls. I'm still not sure I'd go along with it if I had to roll the dice on the sept/tribe you'd be born into.
Previous thread: >>97111514GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.Thread question: How often do you use an official GURPS setting? Which are your favorites?

>>97270237>The fictions we paint in their spaces reflect and pull from real people and places, and your exotic is someone else's existence.Then just don't "reflect and pull from real people and places"? Why are these people always too retarded for the concept of fiction? The entire point of it is that it is not real, so why not pull on this strength to a.) make something up that doesn't exist or b.) treat it as what it is anyway - not real! I'm sure the fictional people care deeply about if you see them as exotic or not. Beside it being a fucking retarded mindset, because what is wrong with seeing it as exotic instead of pretending like that's regular everyday for you like for them? That's why most people travel in reality. And did whoever wrote this ever see how people from more isolated places react to you as a different looking foreigner? Because they certainly don't pretend like they see you everyday out some misplaced sense of moralfaggotry.
How is it? Looks bretty fun
Also if you ar e looking for a sizeable war rig, try this car transport from dicky toys.
>>97272441Yeah, it's asking for armor plates with firing points, a converted AA gun turret on top, plus a bunch of gangers with molotovs and the like.
>>97270799Realistically you wouldn't have cars engaged in mortal combat on a race track
>>97257046In my experience it was hard to set up a side to side collision, but that was only 1 car. You'll have to take suboptimal moves and ignore other players just to keep them in pinball range of each other, all just for an extra move every turn. If it works everyone else cooperates in smashing you. Sometimes I find loophole combos like that and think they didnt balance it very well, but the self regulating in Gaslands works very well.
>>97247524I genuinely love this game. Mike Hutchinson has made some bangers but this is probably my favourite. Solid ruleset and a kitbashing wet dream. As others have said, there is something uniquely satisfying about customising old Hot Wheels cars too.

>>97271908Not that anon, but if I had to guess, I imagine all tribes below who want to integrate and/or deal with the US for anything would have to free their slaves and end their slave trade. Perhaps it happens with the other epigean powers (with the exception of Leopoldville, though that is hidden by the city's authorities). Atlan, New Mu and Atlantis would be too big to be forced to free their slaves, though. Abolitionists could be seen by them as a threat to their authority (same for the Sky Clans, though that could vary from clan to clan).
>>97232032Flavorful stuff. Consideration might be paid towards a Caste system mechanic, which was notably preserved by the OTL Mughals. After dealing with the overlapping complex rules in the Austrian book, that might be too much to ask. The math as far as stats seem sound. The spooking rules for the elephant-based units might need some interaction with other mounts, horses/camels, to reflect the sight/sound/smell interaction they're noted as having. The meme regarding elephants being supreme on the battlefield holds water, as other forms of cavalry would have their mounts spook when in contact with elephants. Conversely, Indian and African elephants have distinct issues when dealing with small insects in the vein of mosquitos and bees. May not be relevant to revising the rules, but it remains interesting.
>>97271974>Cast mechanicI did think of adding that as a general mechanic, but it did screw with some of the rules, plus choosing to make the general rule closer to the lemurian prophecies was much simpler.>Elephant spooking ruleI'm not keen of buffing more the elephants by adding penalties to the opponent's cavalry. They are already quite dominant. And if we increased their price accordingly, many would not pick them, as they would be prohibitely expensive. >BeesNot related to the book, but I wanted to add a beekeeper-like agarthan unit, even if it was just for the memes. Not sure if I should propose it before the mercenary book refresh, though.
>>97272057>BeekeeperWith all the noncombatant and settler-type units that are emerging it might be advisable to move them to the campaign book or their own thing. Or not, since we do already have a lot of books.For the beekeeper something tells me it would be cool if instead of having a beekeeping structure for Merovingian bees you instead house them in a guard tower from the tribal book. They need a large bee home for their large bee bodies.

What are some of your experiences with BRP or mythras? Favorite stories, characters, or supplements? I generally like running pulp or horror campaigns. Funniest story setup was how my players thwarted a small series of adventures I planned before it even started.>Players role up an old priest, a journalist, and basically fred from scooby doo. >Investigating a series of murders and disappearances. >Get captured thesmelves and wind up in a rundown factory converted to sort of look likea victorian mansion.>Meet an obvious vampire who uses them for basic company and conversation before planning to kill them.>My players escape, the frail priest manages to full nelson the vampire, and the other players manage to use a stake to kill him. It ended what I planned to be a multi session adventure in one night. It was a lot of lucky roles and ended up with being funny.
>>97269029>If you want sci fi stuff I would reccomend giving Luther Arkwright a spinThere's also M-Space for sci-fi mythras.
>>97269029You seem like you're a knowledgeable fellow so sell me on MythrasBonus points if you outline its biggest flaws too
>>97269950Cons: >Requires system mastery to flow correctly. Especially combat.>Combat maneuvers become a bit solved with pcs always choosing the target location special ability to dog pile damage and incapacitate an enemy. (i have had to homebrew around that)>Focus on simulationism even more than other d100 games might feel overly constraining.>it is more of a toolkit system as far as magic is concerned especially.>piles a lot on the gm to get it running properly.>character creation is kinda flawed and deigned towards making you mediocre at 5-10 things.Generally a lot of constrains when creating characters feels like an over correction more than anything. >Combat style is inherently superior to other combat skills like evade, endurance and willpower which are your resistances>action point system is kinda gamey and hardlocks you a little bit into mostly defending if numerically disadvantaged >lack of gm advice and procedures for dungeoncrawling, hexploration, sandbox play even if it was large part of the oldschool d100systems with settings like griffin island, especially considering that all the tools for such a style of play are there and the d100 is probably the only other game that can do that as well as the osr>armor is a little weaker than it should be.>the way xp rolls are gained is just worse and more gamey than the other organic ways used in d100 systemsComment too long.

>>97270691>>97269950This covers a good chunk of the cons. They did try to fix some of the issues with the target location thing by making that counter combat maneuver, but that implies a success getting used for that just to negate an issue. Make it really punishing if it happens.I would disagree and say armor can actually be a little too strong in mythras at times in the hands of the players.
The more I play, the more I really want someone to do an egyptian or greek campaign guide. I am surprised that neither chaosium or the design mechanism has done it yet. Chaosium would probably fuck it up to be honest, but their vikings book and the last creatures book were actually decent so who knows.
Have you ever roleplayed a female character?

>>97268097Said the dumb nogames faggot.
yes when I gm, never when im a player. ive even play exclusively women in mmos, but i never think of myself as "roleplaying" in those games.when im a gm, i do it to the best of my ability to build a world for my players.as a player, i have no desire to play anything but a man. i don't really know how to explain it outside of "it feels weird" despite doing it all the time as a gm.
>play male PC>ends up being a pretty basic wild card character>play female PC>actually ends up as a proper characterWhy is this? Is it because it's easier to just self insert and disregard the on-paper character when it's a dude, while the foreign perspective of a female forces me to actually engage with the character concept?
