>>97297556lol no. go to a real lgs and bemoan it and see who cares.
>>97295308This. Also from his other posts this isnt coming from a purely ideological standpoint but also attempting to make a high quality, even luxury, brand and it worked. MTG is at its best when its neither woke nor fan service.

>Everyone points out that "Le demons are not evil" was a huge trend>Can barely remember any media that doesnt' have not-evil, not-succubus demons>The first that came to mind was devilman and they are still dicks thereWhat is with this weird fauxtrarian bullshit
>>97297099That's not ironic at all if you look at western media across the past 30 years. Hell, it was literally the first prediction people made when Netflix DMC was first announced.
>>97257753
>>97297099Japan loves to use Western and Christian imagery because they think it's cool (or sexy like nuns), but other than that they do follow their own idea of Demons (which are just super powerful simple minded creatures)
>>97261289Mao is probably the most evil of the protagonists and he's still not that bad, he's just an archetypical mad scientist.Laharl, Zed and Fuji have personality issues but are good at heart.Valvatorez and Kiriha are not really demonic at all and are genuinely nice people.Demons who are genuinely evil are usually reviled in the Disgaea setting rather than admired (Zenon/Void Dark) and humans are often the real villains or instigators of wide-scale threats (D1, D3, D4).
>>97300158Yeah, most of the "evil" seems to be cultural rather than ontological, and generally more focused on seeming evil rather than being evil. Laharl and Mao's ideas of what constitutes evil oscillate from conquering the world to ding dong ditching and are treated more like immature brats, Valvatorez acts more like Batman in that he spends more time scaring people into becoming better people than doing anything evil, and Killia and Fuji just act like shonen protags trying to bring order against actual bloodthirsty monsters. Hell, the first goddamn game was entirely about an angel being willing to sacrifice her life to prove to a demon he was still capable of love and goodness despite everything he's done to try to prove otherwise.
Why don't we ever talk about Mythic Bastionland, /tg/?

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.
>>97301163He'll have 40 points in luck, with the limitation being it can only be used to win free breakfast sandwiches and hotdogs from the local gas station scratch offs
>>97301163Social Engineering: Back to School p. 6 indicates that, for a normal person who doesn't use his job skill on weekend days, there is a soft cap of attribute + 10. You can extrapolate that to a soft cap of attribute + 15 for an autist who does have a work-related hobby (pic related).
Can you base an intimidation attempt on another attribute, like strength or dexterity? My willpower is extra low but I've got a good strength.
>>97301240>there is a soft cap of attribute + 10Wouldn't that mean a 40 year carpenter will definitely have carpentry at about 20 or so barring mental or physical degeneration? Old timers are good a lot of the time but they don't seem THAT good. What explains that? Shifting standards, techniques, and tools keeping them at SL 13 - 16?
>>97301240Damn so there's some carpenter out there with over 20 skill in carpentry?>>97301244You can ask the GM to allow you to make a complementary skill check to help, plus you get natural bonuses for being bigger than the dude or something.But no, you can't normally switch the attribute.

>>97300874I think taking away the Imperial Fleet from House Peleps causes more narrative problems than it fixes. Their position in canon comes from their control of the navy. Controlling the entire navy gives them too much power, but if they only control the Water Fleet then they would be too weak.My best justification is that the Empress knew that while she was alive she knew that she could control House Peleps by limiting their access to the imperial army or taking away the fleet if necessary. You could also say that the Empress gave House Peleps much fewer satrapies than the other houses, so they were completely dependent on the imperial fleet.
>>97300911>It's a jumble of Primordial organs crudely welded onto a manse, it should be more killable than the Primordials, not less.What makes you think the Primordials were so easily killable in 3e?
>>97294892I'm in an infernals game so obviously the biggest edit so far is making Lillun less of a stupid edgelord thing.
>>97300955Because they're dead and GET killed them
>>97300952Water Fleet is currently by far the most powerful of the fleets, I'm pretty sure, and I think that controlling it would be just about right for a single House. Enough for them to be on par with the other Houses, not enough for them to overwhelm the other Houses.

>>97296537Volkus map 2, sniper perched on ruin C roof, and one of his intercessor fuckers go on the tall part of ruin B as well. Couldn't really get my stalker into a position to deal with that and he had a lot of guys funneled on the C side and I guess I should have just given that side up and gone for the B ruin but double fucking shooting is still a problem. I had ran 4 aspirants, leader, stalker, inciter, and skullclaimer.
>>97296728Goremongers is a pretty tough team to play, right? And their matchup against marines is pretty unfortunate too. IIRC when I did the math they needed a full blood tank to trade favourably with a melee marine, but even then the odds weren't fantastic.That's definitely something you want to do though. If you can manage to quickly trade off one for one for the four of his guys that are on the ground, he'll be in a pretty bad position to take objectives. Easier said than done of course.
>>97298236yeah I'm not really sure what to do. I want to play something that isn't going to get declassified any time soon but i'm not some WAAC fag so i don't want to do canoptek or any of the new marine teams. I could take the easy road and just do nemesis claw but I don't want to play marines.

>>972888551. Why leave fantasy/sci-fi behind? Reject labels, shun Console Wars mentality, embrace "wargamer". Play what you want, when you want, how you want.2. Fixed scenarios and 're-enactments' are more common than in F/SF gaming but nowhere near as much as certain cliches would have it. It's far more common to just have a collection of your interest, much like, well, Warhammer. I don't NEED another squad of marines, or a platoon of T34 tanks, but, well, wargaming squirrel syndrome. I know people who've built a force based around the stated Order of Battle for a particular action as their 'all comers' army, but most will just have boxes of little men they'll pull XXX-points worth out of, on game night.That said, some consideration should be made to what you're aiming for in a particular game. The classic example for me is the Falklands War. Purely as a "2000 point game at club night", using "Codex Britain", Argentina should have been facing off against Chieftains and Tornados, rather than (comparatively) light infantry and Sea Harrier.

Which TTRPG has the best combat system? Be it a roleplaying game or a wargame. This is not a bait thread or a shill engagement thread. I'm genuinely curious.
>>97300415Have you played it? I don't understand the dice resolution mechanic. You roll many dice but only 1 number out of 10 counts for successes? Why have it change with rank? Is that just a typo?
>>97300760I have played it extensively. I've been keeping an eye on it since it first got playtested on /tg/ back when quests were allowed here.>>97300760>I don't understand the dice resolution mechanic. You roll many dice but only 1 number out of 10 counts for successes?Stats determine your dice pool. Rank determines your success threshold. For example if your Rank value is 3, that means every die that turns up a number below or equal to 5 (rank + 2) gives you +2 successes to your result, with a roll of 1 giving you double that.>Why have it change with rank?Rank is part of character progression and power level.
>>97299081What if I want combat that feels different in a bunch of samey 5x5 rooms in a dungeon
We shall not pretend anyone here has it easy. Money never stretches, entertainment costs a fortune, and stress comes free, right? Guys, my downstairs neighbour constantly yells at the TV during cricket matches, turns out he’s using an app to follow every detail and place bets. I downloaded similar app from https://1winbetting.in/app/ just to see what the fuss was about. Took a while to explore, scrolling through IPL lines, checking player stats, seeing upcoming matches. Placed ₹950 just to test the experience, odds were $1.88, and the interface handled everything without freezing. Even casual browsing makes you feel involved. Honestly, who else here uses apps like this for the cricket buzz alone? The stats and layouts are surprisingly satisfying, more engaging than most live streams I’ve seen.
>>97298877It's boring to everyone who isn't me, because it's too bookkeeping, too complex, too much math, and makes people have hallucinations about holding controllers.The point is that YOU can make YOUR GAME how YOU WANT.
