I've been playing games for almost two decades now and people who pump Charisma are consistently the most useless faggots in every party. And this remained true even during the very few times I have attempted it myself.

I have no choice but to arrive at the conclusion that Charisma and every one of its iterations across every fucking game ever is just genuinely useless placebo dog shit. And when pressed to justify their investment charismafaggots always ramble about how good it is in real life as if that has any fucking bearing at all on TTRPGs.

Besides, it's not that good in real life either. Actors and performers were considered on the same level as prostitutes in status for most of history.

Not really, you've just been whining "nuhuh that doesn't count I'm right you're wrong bawwwww" the whole thread. I've yet to see any hard evidence, since the one single example that was provided, aka failing to convince a cultist to just...stop being a cultist, wasn't even elaborated on. For all we know, that retard was a christfag who went "Y'all should come to jesus" and expected it to work after spitting his dice out of his mouth. It only "proves" that the problem isn't the tool, it's that the tool is being used by an undedeveloped ape creature.

>>97338271
I don't know. That's kind of the problem here. It very well could, depending entirely on the context and what was said, but we have no idea what was actually said to try and convince them. Cause there's a difference between someone who's been hardcore indoctrinated for a lifetime and a recent member that only joined a few days ago and doesn't understand what he's getting into. Without that elaboration, we'll never be able to know why it was decided it didn't work, especially since the guy who gave the example is too stupid to explain further.

>>97338290
And all of them were in turn refuted and pointed out how to better make use of charisma to do so, while you were the one flailing about and shitting your diapers how those refutations didn't count.

Pathetic.

>>97317698
You were given detailed explanations of how all of those examples were right and you just went "NUH UH". You're a fucking inbred retard.

>convince a cultist to just...stop being a cultist
Makes perfect sense. You can convince him to stop being a cultist by convincing him that his cause is flawed or outright false, you either have fabricated or true information to back up your point. Which, by the way, this wasn't the only "single example", as I've already pointed out.
>For all we know, that retard was a christfag who went "Y'all should come to jesus"
That has nothing to do with anything being said. If anyone here is the underdeveloped ape, it's (you), you stupid nigger.

asf is rare, conventional fighters are cheap
>>
Looking into it, isn't the Mechbuster actually relatively rare since it looks like it only had 1-2 manufacturers towards the coreward of the Inner Sphere? Wouldn't you be more likely to get a Meteor instead?
>>
>>97338342
Yes, but for a force coming from outside ASF is better because it can be used on every step of the invasion. Conventional fighters can only be used after you have already reached the planet surface.
Mercenary handbook also mentioned conventional craft must be adjusted to differences in atmosphere so they might not be available right away.
Definitely a good choice for garrison forces.

They'd be good for a low end merc force that hasn't been able to even hope for asf support. Medium strike fighters are surprisingly cheap and can carry enough bombs to support objective completion.

The knight is wearing a sort of symbiotic suit of living armor, that becomes essentially a second skin for him. The mane, lance "energy blade" and shield are all composed of the same living fibers that due to the "magic" within my setting can be used to form cutting heat blades, scevering lances and temporarily rigid shields. The warskin itself is fundamentally composed of these same fibers, that form the scaffolding for the living tissues grown around the user.

IT IS PLAYABLE. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED.
EXPEDITION is a ~1880s era, Jules Verne-inspired retro-futurist, underground blood soaked adventurescape.
It is a Skirmish wargame. Two players with their own expeditions, on a hexgrid map, explore & fight each other for victory and profit.

3 versions of the rules exist, 2 of which have been playtested. The main one is 2e, to be found :

I will say that when I wrote up the Juggernaut a few years ago I did so with not much consideration of the RL equivalent, since the Lemurians' use of them as rolling buildings/settlements was more important to my view than any potential Neo-Mughal stuff. I'd rather rename the unit than move it to Neo-Mughal if there's a need for change. "Chariot of the Old Lemurians" perhaps? They liked big rides and big hats.

Here's what I have found in my notes aside from the original unit prototype where I'm mostly concerned over if a chariot king can ride one:
>Basic Lemurians like the Vedic warriors don’t know most of this stuff [high prophecy]. If they did, they might want to learn it. And that would be good, because they’re supposed to want to get more powerful, but bad because that power would come at the expense of someone who is currently powerful. Lemurians want each other to be schemey but also not to have a chance to scheme. The Juggernaut is part of this, where it's an outlet for the masses to express their ambition without putting the Lemurian hierarchy at risk. Except sometimes these methods actually do find someone who is stronger than anticipated, which is good but potentially dangerous. If you survive a couple rounds under the Juggernaut you’re probably being watched for promotion or to have your muscles stolen by a cherub in the night so it can become buffer.

On the topic of my rampant cultural appropriation, which is of course what defines my culture to begin with, the next time we do a sky people touchup I would like to pitch a Vimāna unit that functions like the Jugg where you can build structures on it, but the Vimāna would fly. And it would be hideously expensive too.
>>

>>97334796
I can see the vision. I think a name change would be unnecessary (though, maybe as a subtitle?), but that adding that note as it's description would be good. Then it's more clear that the surface version is a sick perversion of the Trve Lemvrian, rather than a legitimate descendant. You probably explained this before and i just forgot, sorry about that.

Setting is littered with buried ruins from ancient wizard society and the magic wars that destroyed them, so adventurers do exist as a class and profession of experts who delve into them to eliminate dangers and recover useful items. They pay 10% on the value of whatever they find to each of: the Crown, whatever town they're operating out of and as a slush fund to be divided among local temples, apothecaries and others who provide support and healing services (30% total tax, may be paid in coin or items). In return they receive free room and board, healing, security services for their treasures and a support team of hirelings to aid the party but only in areas that have been cleared of dangers.

Previous thread: >>97215703

GURPS 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: What are some systems or you would like to include or see included in a campaign, but haven't been able to? They don't have to be the main focus of the game, having them only as something on the side is okay.
