Thoughts on Scion?
>>97316993Most of this art is honestly horryfing.
>>97316993>rez life lol. wtf? That's like making the slavic deities into a bunch of gopniks squatting outside of commie blocs (which would also be very funny)
>>97324354My best guesses
>>97331589I mean, look at what they did for the Africans and some of the Mexicans. Though speaking of the Slavs, here's the Bogovi from the Scion 2e Demigod book.
>>97331626If it helps any for identification the list of Aesir in the Scion 1E Hero core book are>Baldur, Freya, Freyr, Frigg, Heimdall, Hel, Loki, Odin, Sif, Thor, Tyr, and Vidar
Previous thread: >>97215703GURPS 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.
>>97331535>blunt trauma>(Shotguns and Multiple Projectiles, Basic Set, p. 409).oh, so that's what I was missing. Yeah, taking 20 damage from pellets turning into two damage due to blunt trauma makes a lot more sense.
>>97326364>I don't like how, certain weapons categories are just better than others.You're wrong.Dual-wield has the inherent -1 to defense which no one else has, though it's the most expensive to raise it's also the one who profits the most of Gunslinger. You can have an AP/HP loadout, and with Akimbo shooting perk you're the most maneuverable character in the game.SMGs with low bulk and rapid fire means you choose the fight better.Rifles punch the hardest and have excellent Acc.Shotguns punch the weakest but are the easiest to hit with, and can switch almost instantly to slugs to punch the hardest.LMGs have the heaviest firepower but you need high ST and money to use them, also we live in a society bottom text.SMGs are the weakest unless you have high dodge and Tumble everywhere (see Martial Arts). I think rifles with their 5d and RoF 15 or something can't beat a Desert Eagle 4d pi+ in each hand, the shooter adds Acc on every shot, and the target rolls -1 on each defense. >>97329203Maybe Action 2 has rules for that I don't remember. I bet 3rd edition Special Ops, Covert Ops, or the WW2-line has something on it too.
>>97331097If it was at close range (10% of the first range given on the weapon stat) you should have applied the rule for multiplying the damage and opponent DR by 4 at the cost of removing the penalty, which would have done 1-2 damage on average through the vest due to the flexible armor rules, otherwise you should be using random hit location for each pellet. RAW doesn't say anything about hit location on rapid fire for aimed shots but iirc even Kromm uses random hit locations on rapid fire after the initial hit unless the shooter is really stacking bonuses. If you're asking if it's realistic the inventor of the kevlar vest (GURPS early concealable vest in HT) spent like twenty years shooting himself at point blank range with a and turning to shoot and hit a target he had set up. The damage deformation causes is severely exaggerated by media and even people "in the know" like LEO.
>>97331621>Maybe Action 2 has rules for that I don't remember.Action 2 has rules for regular dropsI did find spec ops, and it's a familiarity penalty of -5 in that. Which is good enough for me.
>>97331712>random hit location for each pellet.>roll and look up a table for 9 hitsvery annoying to do, but I guess it makes sense.>If you're asking if it's realistic the inventor of the kevlar vest (GURPS early concealable vest in HT) spent like twenty years shooting himself at point blank range with a and turning to shoot and hit a target he had set up. The damage deformation causes is severely exaggerated by media and even people "in the know" like LEO.But he was using handguns, right? I imagine a shotgun shell full of shot is a bit different.
What is the counterculture of 2020s, that could be used as the basis for a contemporary countercultural tabletop game?Take the World of Darkness for example, which was so grounded in the the counterculture of the 90s that it comes across as dated and strange today. How would you update the World of Darkness so that it better represents the counterculture of today?Nightmare Mode: Talk about more than just politics. There's more to rebellion against the status quo and the prevailing social norm than who you vote for.
In a world where the system and media promote LGBT, Marxism, globalism, atheism and BLM, the only real counter culture left is traditionalist Christian nationalism. Being a based nazi is the new punk rock
>>97327780I suppose you could theroretically have a tradwerewolf thing in which farmers promoting "values" are honest to god shapeshifters.
>>97331542Are you retarded? Do-it-yourself and over-the-counter is what medical industry is opposed to.
There is no more "counterculture" because there is no more monoculture. All cultures got split into a million microcultures, and they stopped really transmitting their culture to the next generation. There isn't enough overlap to get a critical mass of interested passionate people to care about something other than whatever niche distraction.
I've spent the last year, studying, and designing a custom Arthurian set, originally intended to be based on Le Morte d'Arthur (like how P3k was based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms). However, as I continued to study, and look into different (and some obscure sources) this turned into a much more wider net. This set, which is no where near finished includes>Welsh Triads and The Magnibong>Pre-Vulgate Arthur traditions>Vulgate/Post Vulgate/Lancelot cycles>some English/Welsh fairy tales>and even a bit of the Victorian Arthurian revival (especially for art). I avoided the Italian and German romances entirely, and tried not to include weird outliners except when needed. Outside of art, nothing is sourced from the 20th century or onward. Also all art is public domain. I'm mainly posting here for feedback. Some will be art recommendations, flavor text (especially sourced) will be always welcomed.Comment too long.

Another reprint, this one from Kamigawa.
Legendary sorceries, which were introduced in Dominaria, have currently three cards in the set.Immutable means the spell can't be countered, and you can only cast a spell with this name once per game. The three represent important moments in the legends.

>>97331430Thanks! The orange was kind of a pain but worth it.
So, is it fine to replace the mech's Pitban 240 with Nissan 240, or shove Vlar 300 in as long as the weight permits?

>>97331747No idea how good it is. But those forward swept wings are very aesthetic.
>>97331759Yes, as long as you make the repair rolls.
How would it play?I imagine everything you do would end in some kind of comedic failure.
the object of the game is to find parking
>>97331245No, anon, it's in the book's foreword. The people who made the book don't actually care if you find the damn thing balanced or even playable or not, they did the book entirely for a laugh and to piss off powergamer types who try to win every ttrpg they play by releasing a game where the only thing you compete to do is die last from how stupid and inept the pcs are.
>>97331553Yes, I own both HOL and ButtHOL, I'm quite familiar with both, it's just abusing to see you acting as though it's in any way actually at the person's expense, when the entire thing is meant to be a self-contained parody
>>97331573I always assumed it was both, in that it's a very self-aware parody of ttrpgs that's useful as the literary equivalent of a prank where you invite your friends to play a session to piss off the overly serious ones and to laugh alongside the ones who get that the game was effectively rigged from the start.
I'm convinced that a single autist keeps making ATHF threads across all boards in a futile attempt to make others talk about the show (he makes one on /tv/ daily and apparently it's not enough)

>>97306584when you were referring to the purple/violet similarity, were you referring to them as energies (when they are upside down and all you see is the bottom stat symbol background), them in play (their border colors), or both?I looked at the cards and noticed there is an error on my end, where the "violet" (magenta purple) stat symbol color is still purple or near purple. the border colors are more differentiatable though.I was messing with the purple/violet colors up until right before printing, trying to coordinate their clear differentiation due to similarity in appearance.I believe this also occurred on 1 or 2 of the sub types of the red cards border colors.In any case, i think i'm going to remove the dedicated "story" (silver) type altogether, and convert it to a meta type (any card can be played as a story/narrative element into the narrative zone (keeping the narrative zone and mechanics), sort of like energies. this will also free up the silver color, which I can assign to psi, and that should solve all the color problems. silver also makes a kind of sense with psi.this will also allow me to assign a proper violet to what is called "violet" now, but is more of a magenta purple.it solves all the color issues and streamlines/simplifies gameplay all at once.Comment too long.

>>97330755People are also constantly hiding or lying about their powers and their ratings reflect that. Skitter was surprised that Valefor could just casually mind control people into suicide because the PRT only knew he was a cape that was big into subterfuge and so he had Stranger classifications over his actual Master ones.
>>97330755>This is, in-universe, something that got kludged together because they needed something to categorize these bastards, but it’s super messy. Saying "he's a brute 4" is PRT shorthand for "none of your conventional weapons will work on him and he'll snap you in half if he gets in melee range" not some sort of VSBattles tiering system.You're right, that's way more useful than any powerscaling system I've heard of.
>>97330755The ratings are pointless to actually estimate how strong an ability is, since they are mostly a rating on how the PRT should respond to a threat.
>>97330356I was talking about Dragon Age, which caps out at sending a few guys flying with a magic explosion for the absolute strongest mages. It's not a very high-level setting.

>>97322961>Strengh 10Does that mean it automatically passes strength tests? Shouldn't it be Strength 9?
>>97330124Very few units have had stats set up to 10, the Jugg and Nap being those that I remember right now (Nap with Awareness and Discipline 10). While at 10, you automatically pass any test, yes, but not necessarily win every face-to-face roll. > picrelNew map! I've checked the Taiping book and will upload it as well as the tokens, there's a few things I'll want to change or clarify in the rules, still making a list, but it'll 100% work in the meantime. >>97314298Alright, it'll be an econ unit, the carts will be random, its the best way to do it without turning the train into a more limited tank, and I want to avoid that. All the carts will have some transport capability, you might just not want to spawn your soldiers in the dining cart, but that's what you rolled this turn and you need the soldiers so... that kind of choice. >>97315417What I'm thinking is that the rails will be split off and set in the regular Structures section of the rulebook, so even if you don't have access to the Locomotive, you could lay tracks as part of an econ engine, and I'm thinking of putting the handcar >>97302625 as a merc special unit, since that shouldn't really be restricted, especially in a setting that takes place mostly in caves. The rails would be something like "gain X silver per Track token connected and controlled", with the exception that the player who layed them controls them by default if they connect to his deployement zone(?). The Locomotive itself would grant Silver from exiting Carts from the maps, with bonuses set for exiting quickly and off non-deployment map edges.
>>97322961It could easily be ported to the new Neo-Mughal book, if that's alright with the relevant parties. I never did care for it in Lemuria either, but it's a cool idea and made enough sense when we didn't have a dedicated India book. Though, maybe it isn't worth bothering.
>>97331595One of the rules of the neo-mughal is that they can recruit 1/3 of their silver in lemurian units. In theory they shouldn't need to move it there.
>>97331595You could justify its existence as a way to sort out the truly worthless. but Prophecies are not infallible, and I personally think its more interesting to see them as occasions for creative interpretation than just a really set Fate that tells you everything, so I definitely don't see a mother throwing her baby under the Jugg simply because the local Prophet told her that was its Fate. More like, the local Prophet tells you "Your Fate is to be crushed under the wheels!". Do you, > A) say life sucks and throw yourself under the Jugg?> B) start lifting and downing protein shakes, prove your worth by killing some random warrior, join the next warband, all the while hoping that the Prophet meant you'd eventually meet a warrior's end facing some great Chariot-King?> C) Go back to your life, have kids, work your station, be a productive member of society, then when you start being a burden, throw yourself under the Jugg?or > D) call the Prophet fake news. A) would be discouraged or pitied, B) glorified, C) completely acceptable, as long as you don't outright refuse your Fate, and D) would be doable, but very risky socially. Better hope the Prophet has already a few failed Prophecies under his belt before you pull that off.But also, Cultivation is about your own worth, so while A) would be pitied, you wouldn't have Warriors or Nobles throwing a fit over what their subordinate classes do too much either.
