>>97214726>>97215059I just thought she was a pretty character.
>>97215059>>97214726There's something broken in you
I'll give the thread theme a shot
Without thinking about it, entirely subconsciously, you are trained by Pathfinder and D&D to safeguard your players. You are taught to coddle them! And when does this subconscious teaching happen? Not in ANY dungeon master resource. It happens before your first adventure, before your very first D20 roll.It happens when you create characters.In Pathfinder, character creation takes a ridiculous amount of time. I ran it for about six years, and I saw it take well over an hour, sometimes going up to two for new players. As a GM who understood the system inside and out, I could get it done in about a half hour. Losing a character in a game with such a painstaking character creation process is absolutely devastating. As a GM, you wonder if that person will bother to make a new character, or if they will just leave, and if they do, who will go with them? Will you even have a game afterwards?And enemy statblocks are the same way. You look at these massive text blocks that include three different saving throws, the type of hit dice, types and sub-types of creature, and perhaps most hilariously unnecessary, ALL SIX STATS. Who on earth looks at all that and dares think “I’ll make some monsters of my own!” Please understand, I’m not saying nobody makes their own monsters. I’m saying that it is an undertaking to make a monster with a statblock like that. Figuring out saves, stats, and heaven forbid you want to get CR correct, good luck with testing out that garbage.
So many GMs don’t make their own monsters. Why would you, when you have 5 bestiaries to pluck from? You end up spending your GMing time feeling like a human calculator, balancing CR, doing 4-6 encounters per day, totaling up XP and gold. You, the GM, are left with the drudge work.Pathfinder, and to a lesser extent 5e, treats the GM like trash. And yet they are wildly popular.There’s systems that are so much better. Don’t want to deviate from 5e? Try Five Torches Deep, it’s a rules-lite, very deadly hack of 5e with lightning quick character creation and really fun ideas on dungeon design. Want a game that’s easy to pick up and play? Try Into the Odd, a surreal fantasy game that mixes up combat by removing to-hit rolls entirely. Want a Sci-Fi spacefaring game? Stars Without Number has a great modular system where you can customize a lot about your universe’s rules, and a ship combat system that every player I’ve run it for has fallen in love with. Mörk Borg, OSE, Lamentations of the Flame Princess, Dark Streets and Darker Secrets, the Black Hack, the White Hack, Paranoia, Death is the New Pink.There’s tons of great stuff out there with systems that empower GMs and engage players. You don’t have to spend hours working with a system that doesn’t respect you.(A lot of my points here are against Pathfinder, but 5e does all this too, just not as bad)
>>97215768>Five Torches Deep>Into the Odd>Stars Without Number>Mork Borg>Black Hackoh, you're a NuSR shilli've got my retroclones and that's all i needgood taste in paranoia though
>>97215768Pathfinder is unironically one of the worst systems ever made. They took the worst aspects of 3.5e, tripled down on them, and then pozzed it for good measure.
>>97215768>Modern game designPathfinder was released in 2009, bro
Tolkien is to blame for the state of 5e and generic fantasy that you see in TTRPGs. We wouldn't have horrible big fat fantasy books, nor power fantasy / wish fulfilment, which you find in scaling levels through so-called "XP". Fantasy used to be an experimental, creative, and wild genre filled with mad imagination; now, it is all wooden and samey. >tl;drListen to this:https://voca.ro/1Rwc7lMX0hfT
>>97212597so you're saying the onions smile needs to be larger?
>>97209251Why are you singling out Kull as a power fantasy compared to say, Conan or Steve Costigan stories?
>>97210903>Josh Reynolds may be the single worst published fantasy writerCouldn't this apply to most BL writers?
>>97212112Only good post in the thread, because it has a cute cat attached to it>>97212515>woman wanting to be fucked by monsters bad>mangae BASED because lonely zillenials want to have harems of monsters!Hmmm
>>97215776Howard really hated snakes, and compared his two faced neighbors to them.
Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you? Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?>inb4 I don't because I'm not a faggut, hurr durr
As someone who hates these people, it's because it's always their fetish waifu. Every time.
>>97214962have you actually met someone like that or are you just making assumptions
>>97215004Met many, mostly obvious fetish plays. Go post any ad as a GM and see what kind of characters/applicants you get. It's disturbingly common.I also played with one for a while, and was friends with him for years outside of the game too. He played his ideal waifu, fit into the fantasy setting we were playing. It was acceptable solely because he had no off-putting fetish things (basically he was just vanilla). It was still undeniably his waifu and he got constantly teased about it without ever denying it. I have yet to meet or see a single female character (actually played not just theoretical) that didn't fall into this category. If I did, I'd be open to changing my mind. But the pattern has been unerring thus far in my some ~12 years of playing TTRPGs.
>>97214962What do you mean a fetish waifu? I get wanting to make a pretty female character, does it go beyond that?
>>97215717I've specifically seen lolibaba and furry stuff that was unmistakably fetish related. I didn't play with those people though; the ones I have played with (like mentioned) were just playing their idealized version of a woman but with super powers/magic/whatever matches the setting.

oh, yet ANOTHER JTRPG has been translated! and this one is Wuxia theme'd. This also happens to be by Group SNE (Sword World, Embryo Machine, Goblin Slayer). So yeah, was translated by the Sword World fan-translators.where to grab:G-Drive /drive/folders/1icyF6HmVOdeG1Z5EiFAciAHupxMrcrHG?usp=sharing
>>97201954It is a flaw of the OP who posted it here within minutes of the fan translation being shared in the first place, so not many have read it yet, or read it fully enough to make any such comment.
>>97202042yeah, part of that is me jumping the gun with that...
>>97190751Can we have more info?
>>97210611well, aside from the only other materials released fer it was a supplement that adds additional stuff to it, but the translator is missing the Scenario Collection and Replays.
>>97198415sometimes, it's nice for a change of pace.
>In the game Werewolf: The Apocalypse, the Garou (werewolves) were made to defend the earth from the cosmic forces that threaten to tear it apart. The Garou fight against the Wyrm, the destroyer. It is a struggle against nearly insurmountable odds, especially considering the rivalry between many tribes. These rivalries make it almost impossible for the werewolves to present a unified front against a cosmic force that pervades reality.>From this morass of hatred and mutual betrayal, there is little hope that the Garou can emerge triumphant against a foe so well armed as the Wyrm. The Wyrm promises money, power, sex, and whatever else the heart desires to its followers while the Garou receive no reward for their striving. It drives them deeper and deeper into despair, or into betrayal so deep that they choose to serve the Wyrm instead.Main Rulebooks:>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Rulebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Rulebook>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Second Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Second_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Revised Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Revised_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_20th_Anniversary_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition Corebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_5th_Edition_CorebookComment too long.

Werewolves smell bad. They are also full of were-worms (monstrous tapeworms).
>>97215795W-what are the other form of wereworms?
>>97215795Now I have the image of a wereworm emerging from a werewolf's anus.

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?
>>97215703I've never run or been invited to a game with a 1st party GURPS setting, although Banestorm looks fine for a vaguely historical-inspired fantasy.
>>97215703>Thread question: How often do you use an official GURPS setting? Which are your favorites?I've tried Banestorm and Transhuman Space.

>>97201840Requesting a cute big headed robot mascot for a korean cyberpunk theme park.He has both a cute mode for interacting with the kids, and a 'combat mode' where guns pop out of his arms and head to deal with when cyberpsychos try attacking guests. He's a giant big headed Korean noble with a Gat hat, and a slightly creepy smile.Inspired by mentions in the original cyberpunk 2020 lore that theme park employees had combat cyberware to protect guests from cyberpsychos.
>>97201840Requesting a long-term project of my mage the ascension character, the 'P.E.E.R.L.E.S.S' armor. It's heavily inspired by the ARS suit from vanquish and uses pretty much every magic sphere except for spirit. The armor itself is inspired by the armor of an arthurian knight who stepped through time the day he was awakened, and the sword is influenced by swordsmanship instructor, a samurai he met while falling through dimensions. The scanner is his own invention and his primary tool for interacting with his magical paradigm.

>>97201186Here's the secret to chess. The previous move is the biggest clue to find the best move. Chess positions don't change that much move to move. Focus on the changes the last move made, which new squares are now under attack and which squares are no longer attacked. Remembering and keeping track of what has already happened, will give you foresight into the future.
