>>97348141Honestly tortugabay will get a lot more sales from this, I bought some catapractii from them and I like them since they stick to the classic design.
>>97348985>Tactical can be killed with whatever a Lernean happens to be armed with, so arm them with the Termie-killing Dread-killing weapons thenThe issue with always doing that is cost. On lerneans that are already expensive and very elite? Not as much of an issue, but sometimes cheaper is better. A thunder hammer is equal to a power maul (or for lerneans, an axe) for killing tacticals, and yet its more expensive. Going all in on thunder hammers will have them be "optimal" for fighting terminators/vets (although dont sleep on claws) but its going to have them be no better at fighting other units.

It wasn't out of humanity or anything, they just didn't think the rest of German society would go for industrialized mass murder, until the Wannsee Conference basically.

>>97344959>really fucking solid worldbuilderI read up through OotP and I strongly disagree. Most (not all) of her worldbuilding doesn't happen by exploration, discovery, action, or reaction. It happens via someone sitting Harry down and expositing a bunch of pointless shit at him for 30 pages. "Sit down Harry, let me tell you about how I was in a wizard prison called Azkaban for 30 pages. Then after a very brief unexciting action sequence I'll also loredump my gay furry pal's entire life story to you!" That gets boring or annoying very quickly.>magic has actual RULESAnd those rules fucking suck. You can just spam spells as you please with infinite combos to overwhelm your opponent Frieren style with no drawbacks. She even managed to make an evil instakill spell useless and boring by just having an entire school of magic that hard-counters it, also with no drawbacks.TLDR it's popular because fat lame millennial girls all read it when they were in school and they made a lame gay subculture out of it, not because it's good.

>>97349244I've seen you asking this to basically anyone disagreeing with you for days, no doubt you think I'm the same guy. Do know that this provides much amusement.
>>97342554Based Jade Empire enjoyer.GURPS, of course, can run this game very well (it's on my list of games to maybe run one day). Frankly, you could run the whole thing with just the basic set and it would great. You'd almost certainly want to add in Martial Arts, though, as has a bunch of extra combat options and a system for fighting styles that can really enhance a wuxia game. If, for whatever reason, you felt like you didn't have proper gear between those two books, you could throw in Low-Tech, too. And for Magic, again, the Basic Set really has you covered, but the game would probably benefit from using Thaumatology: Chinese Elemental Powers.That would cover pretty much everything you need to run a Jade Empire game.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere. And as we enter this happiest and newest of years, remember: 2e was never an old-school game, bait is for reporting, and fish is for smoking! Happy new year, grogs!Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started.

>>97349286It's always been a slow general. Trolling can inherently overwhelm goodposting with mere frequence, and now that fishfag's idiotic attempts to hijack the thread with his own retard OPs and spinoff threads has been comprehensively defeated he's back in here trying to shitpost it to death. The only real fix to this is the jannies either watching the threads like hawks (can't blame them for not doing this t bh) or permabanning him, otherwise it's pretty much going to be tardspam followed by mass post deletions in a loop until fishfag's undoubted obesity and suppurating open wound where his dick used to be kill him.The best thing you could do would be to post some good facking content instead of complain, t bh.
Jesus christ it tried talking to me.Why the fuck did people let this guy turn this general into his schizo show.
>>97349270>all you've done is flail about.I'm going to actually take you seriously since you included something of a play report.The point being made wasn't "PbtA is on topic, hurr" it was "Even if someone made a PbtA game that was an OSR emulator, which is possible because PbtA focuses heavily on replicating genres and OSR is basically a genre then that game wouldn't be /osrg/ relevant. It might be an OSR game in terms of tone, style, structure, ect, but people here would be well within their rights to reject it because just because you can run an OSR game with a system doesn't make it relevant to /osrg/."You're arguing and whining about someone who was agreeing with you and using it as a way to make a point about how Fishfag trying to force AD&D 2e into these threads isn't just unreasonable, it's gauche, using his own examples against him.Here's the part where you argue and whine about me sitting you down like the child you are and explaining to you because pic related is also off topicAs for my last session, we finally managed to force a cult we've been feuding with out of their shrine and onto the streets. Because we wanted the shrine as a base of operations and steal their god/congregation to use as a source of future funding.
>>97349324Fuck; intend to steal their god/congregation.Mea culpa.
>>97349324I simply can't agree with your point no matter how you try to phrase it. If the game uses pbta as a skeleton then it absolutely does not follow any type of mechanical fidelity even if it follows tonally.

>>97347457Battle Century and Mekton are the most "toolkit" systems, meant to be customized. If those don't fit your needs, you may be able to refluff and modify another game that has mechanics closer to what you need.What about your setting makes it different? For example, are the mechs more primitive because the tech level is closer to the real world? And what kind of things do you want to have in the game, what level of crunch do you want?

Thinking of running a UC 079 game where players are a group of GM pilots operating somewhere on earth then switching to space operations and then colonies.

>>97347457I retooled PF2E for my game set in a modern day setting and it was a LOT of work. I'd imagine something near-future fits better with a lot of mech RPGs so you don't need to do something as stupid like me. Just remove space combat from the games that have it
We're going to have to come up with a phrase for the new era of Warhammer 40,000 ushered in by the Amazon TV show, DoW 4 and Total War 40k, and increased market value of Games Workshop.nu40k isn't going to cover it. nu40k is already bad enough for many of us from headier days like 1st through 4th edition.

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.
>>97342362>I feel like I'm the only one who actually likes the system.Why is that?
>>97347993Despite my many efforts to explain and streamline things, they still think everything is way too complicated.They think there are too many skills, and that default penalties are too harsh. So I've introduced wildcard skills and taught them to use rules like Time Spent to offset default penalties. But they still don't like it.They think hit locations are too hard to hit, range penalties are too harsh, and that too many actions take too long in combat. I try to explain how you can offset penalties or do things faster by using combat options like Aim, Evaluate, All-Out Attack, Telegraphic Attack, and Extra Effort, or bump up skill or buy special advantages or techniques to make things easier. Their enemies are also subject to all the same rules, so knowing how to use these options should give them a huge leg up over their foes. But they think all these rules are unnecessary. "I've shot a gun before, [GM]. Anyone should be able to quick-draw a pistol and make a snap shot at a target's neck at 10 meters with 95% accuracy. These rules are stupid." I'm a noguns, so they don't take me seriously when I cite real-life firearm statistics.Generally, they think too many things give penalties, and don't like adding up penalties. I try to explain that these things which give penalties would just simply be impossible in other systems, and by leveraging modifiers they can make the impossible possible. They say "That's fine. Just don't let me do them then." Which baffles me, because when I was running D&D way back in the day, they were always complaining how they couldn't do anything.One player also dropped out of the game early while complaining that there was "too much combat." But he said he's also going to be joining my other player's DH2E/Sector-X game even though that game is going to have even more combat. So that also befuddled me. Although, it could've just been scheduling issues that he had to drop out, and the comment was incidental. He didn't say.
As a thought experiment, how would I write up an ability that lets me send my mind back in time? Like reloading a "save point" in video games, but it can go to any point in the past since the time you first acquired the ability. I'm thinking it would probably involve Jumper (Time) with Accessibility or some other limitations. It should be possible to use with conscious effort, but also trigger automatically on death, so Reflexive should also be there.
>>97348922>Anyone should be able to quick-draw a pistol and make a snap shot at a target's neck at 10 meters with 95% accuracy. These rules are stupid." I'm a noguns, so they don't take me seriously when I cite real-life firearm statistics.On a stationary target at the range you get something like +4, I doubt your friends can do that either or they're at least national level competitors

>>97339431>She has ran into something before, right?Of course, that's the reason I took interest in her. Going from being a victim to actively hunting monsters is not that easy.

>>97342709Right yeah, that sounds...ah that's why. It was asked before. I think. That's what I get for recovering from a concussion. Anyway, I bet that first hunt will be righteous. Having a student to mentor sounds fun, I suppose I should keep an eye out.

Anyone tried running classic modules conversions?what is a good retro module for a 1st lvl party that can be completed in 3-6 sessions or less?
>>97348471Magic Stitch:Cantrip1 MinuteAttempt a check using your Spell Attack modifier. A result of 10 or higher restores 1 HP to the target up to no more than half their maximum HP.
Where is this myth of "healing magic is useless & overrated" coming from? Damage is unavoidable. A party at the 5th level can recover, through hit die alone, far less than 8 encounters' worth of damage per day.If I want to send my PCs with no healer to attack a Bandit Fortress as part of their gameplay tier capstone, giving them an entire full session dedicated towards institutionally-backed reconnaissance such that they're fully aware of the degree of threat they face, how is any amount of damage or crowd control they deal going to make up for something that I've created with the core rules in mind?This moronic take must come from tables where rests are trivial, handwaved, and ultimately unearned.
>>97349164>Damage is unavoidable.It really isn’t. A suitably overwhelming offense can evaporate threats before they’re capable of dealing your beloved chip damage.
>>97349257Your mistake is assuming that you're able to have "suitably overwhelming offense." First and foremost, I do not allow (non-origin) feats nor multiclassing in my campaigns; ASIs are forced.

>>97324992In addition to >>97325050 and >>97325240's points, it also features my personal bugbear: tying everything unique about subfactions to specific special characters. It was such a massive downgrade from the previous approach exemplified by CSM & Guard 3.5 and SM 4th. And it has led inexorably to the modern "LE EPIC NARRATIVE" shitshow where it's just a constant stream of Glup Shittos being paraded on warcom for the trained seals to clap for.
