lol enjoy sitting at your LGS and playing whatever it is that ain't magic then. The last 10 years of Modern and EDH still dont add anything to the mechanical legacy of mtg unless you think selling The One Ring to Paypigmalone was a novel idea kek. You still have no answers regarding the death of standard and would be better suited sybau kwab

Usually GR has 8 pilots, in theory is a nice card but I dunno how many times you'll be able to trigger the conditional draw

Will test it for sure though

>>96470704
>need Char to find Char
Yeah this card is trash. The deck needed a way to search pilots. I mean it technically finds pilots but only after you fucking have the one you need.

>>96470704
eerrmmm technically thats not card draw thats a tutor with a requirement :)
its also a massive downgrade from the operation meteor tutor, Zeon getting to dig 5 for a pilot is exactly what it needs right now

People use "OSR" to refer to Into the Odd (and a wide variety of other games) because they want to play a particular style of game that main D&D has been slowly trending away from (world-as-obstacle, no predetermined big bads or character arcs, GM doesn't have to delicately balance encounters and PCs don't have to white room box everything they see), but early D&D is pretty ass to actually deal with all its annoying quicks, so they wanted to play a system that has taken advantage of 50 years of game design rather than using descending AC because the designer copied it from naval wargames.

Whether or not these people came from 5e is completely irrelevant, just as it would be completely irrelevant if they decided to play AD&D 1e instead of Into the Odd.

>>96471703
OSR just meant "no-3.0 D&D" back when it started, not long after 3.0 D&D was released.

All the tropes people associate with OSR (Low-level, dirt-caked men trudging into dungeons consisting of nothing but 10x10 rooms, whacking every 5-foot-square with a 10-foot pole, followed by a hoard of hirelings, waiting for their turns to die while the slavishly track how many torches they have remaining) is basically a stereotype, and unfortunately there have been some who decided to embrace that stereotype, while slapping on some bullshit about how making RPGs more like board games is actually giving power to the players, which is quite the cope.

>>96471703

It should be something you like. For instance, I like dark elves as a concept but wanted to make them not retarded and for a system that I like. So I wrote them for ACKS and now Twisted Shadows is a book that exists. I'm currently simultaneously working on a catgirl project and a city project.

It already does, if you look beyond the toys techbros try to sell as the future. AI is a broad term that includes way more than generative AI.

>>96470483
Most of that is in fields that are also heavily involved in tech that rarely if ever directly touch the lives of the average schmuck. All this AI stuff is to most people is a bunch of resource depleting toys that the rich are using to become richer while the world keeps going to pot to support the techbros’ dream of replacing humanity for more literal drones instead of just metaphorical ones. It’s not exactly fair, but mass media isn’t exactly in a hurry to correct that.

Arc Survivors start off a bit weaker but mid-to-late game when you unlock some of the stronger knowledges and get more tools to get specific ones, they become absurdly powerful.

A late-game arc survivor with Dark Impulse can fairly easily push all his stats in the double digits. The Regalist base knowledge lets you run diagonally. Early game Marrowists can get 6 flat armor to every hit location meaning you get an incredibly tanky character that can be equiped with all your utility gear.

Tick-tock eubros, there's only 7 copies of core game left for you

>>96471062
There's Stun Points from Power-Ups 9. You have SP equal to HPxN, where N is some chosen value (book uses 5 in the example, but 10 could work for BlueArchiveAnon). When you're hit with an attack, injury comes off of SP, and you lose 1/Nth that amount of HP. Once you're out of SP (or are asleep, unconscious, or similar), damage comes off of HP 1:1 like normal.

It's basically free Injury Tolerance (DR) with the added effect of it "running out" and not protecting you after you've reached a certain threshold; a hero can fight on through stone-shattering spells and missile blasts, but once sufficiently weakened can be finished off by a dramatic but completely mundane knife to the gut.

>>96471114
There are currently holes in GURPS for actual high-level management of NPCs, but beyond that I can't think of a ton. The number (and variety) of alternate rules means there's usually something viable in GURPS for all sorts of campaigns; for as much as the system gets memed on as an autistically-detail realism simulator, there are plenty of cinematic rules to tweak things to your chosen power level (and just as many to make things *more* austically-detailed for those that want a realism simulator).

>>96471151
Realm Management is barely a GURPS book. I don't say this just as a way to distance a system I like from a bad entry in its catalog, it literally has nothing to do with any other part of GURPS's rules. Those rules as presented in the book are just as compatible with D&D, 40kRPGs, and one-page indie games. Rice managed to push through his half-made boardgame and pass it off as a GURPS splat.

>>96470961
Your approach is too much of a brute force one, as other anons have mentioned. GURPS has a lot of options to reduce lethality, though you need some familiarity with the system. I'll try to explain some of the ramifications each has.
>10xHP, no hit locations
This is what you're doing. First of all, you don't die at 0 HP in GURPS. You must roll HT to stay conscious, and death isn't a risk until you're at -1xHP, and only happens automatically at -5xHP. You could easily rule that unconsciousness is the worst they risk.
Another aspect is that while an average person has their Move halved at 3 HP or less, that is 33 HP for you. I'd assume that someone reeling from severe wounds is something you'd keep at a similar threshold rather than it being proportional, given your idea is to make them extremely resilient. Any other rules that scale with HP will also be affected.
I don't know why you'd ignore hit locations, I'd at the very least keep them purely for the wound and to hit modifiers and RP potential.

Instead, these are the things I'd suggest:
>Survivable Guns (Pyramid 3/44)
Rifle damage is absurd in GURPS. It's scaled to armor penetration rather than injury, and to quote the article: "it’s arguable whether being hit by a rifle bullet in the torso is really is two to three times more lethal than being run through by a sword".
The rules in that article keep rifles just as effective against body armor (which is what the rules were designed for) while halving their damage numbers against characters less excessive. There are no real downsides.
>Stun Points (Power-Ups 9)
This is very similar to what you were angling for: In addition to HP, players have SP equal to N times HP. PU9 suggests 5xHP. When the character takes damage, it comes off their SP, with 1/Nth of that (round DOWN) being taken off HP. Unconsciousness is automatic at 0 SP. Because SP isn't HP, all the rules that scale to HP aren't affected by you adding, say, 9xHP in SP on top of the character's HP.

>>96471114

>>96471330
>half-made boardgame
My man, boardgames are something you can play whereas 95% of RM is just descriptive stuff that cannot be interacted with during the "game"

I've been messing around a bit with an OSR-style GURPS, which would include a generated hexcrawl, dungeoncrawls, and rolling for initial stats with a 75-point budget.

The idea is you take your 3d6 and roll in order for the four main attributes (each starting at 10) - taking the lowest die roll with an addition of a fudge dice to give you the modifier (+, -, and blank keeps the stat at 10). You then adjust your point budget. I'm still stuck on how to bring in more OSR elements for traits.

There's DF16 for the hexcrawl, but I don't quite like the rules from what I've seen :o I much prefer sticking to Basic Set GURPS rather than DF.

you fucking take that back, you filthy heretic!
the excelsior project WAS a success. TNG warp 10 is about tOS warp 15-18. and the warp scale re-defined co-incided with the excelsior project, so whilst it DID NOT provide a working transwarp system
(even the borg in TNG only had a transwarp network because they built fucking macroscalar engineering projects in the form of transwarp conduit gates)

the excelsiors massive nacelles, hugely increased warp coils and the sheer engine power of how much warp plasma she could generate, helped her lead science into the re-done warp scale, finding far better, more efficient ways of doing warp.

AND, you ingrate, whilst the connie was a heavy Cruiser, the excelsior entered service a Battleship. being over twice the size of a connie.

Shangri-La is obviously a connie, but rebuilt or redesigned heavily to slant the entire purpose towards combat. a science or exploration vessel she aint. she is clearly a torpedo spitting death machine with all those extra toooooooobs.

The top deck right now is white/red and the follower alternates between blue/black Kaito, green/white rabbits and then the various faggotry control decks. Then you get to Vivi (which is actually a best of 3 deck it doesn't perform in standard best of 1 that the majority of people play).
Monowhite life gain is characteristic of lower ranks where it is by far the most dominant deck which is why your dumb ass keeps running into it. Play monogreen poison or green/black poison to get out of the lower ranks, then once you're past 90% Mythic you can try something else.
The best ranking deck is artifact printer btw. but that requires a bunch of rares.

>Maybe this is nothing new, but I don't remember ever seeing this ten years ago.
It's a very old thing that came back in fashion because it got cheap. Early on, you needed more money to print cards. But think Warhammer 40k 2e, Clan War, Deadlands, etc. There's always been a trickle of games with cards, Kickstarter and Chinese slave labor made it a flood.
>Pros
Cards always use a dependent probability (what comes next is influenced by what came last) and the designer can skew them as they see fit
Likewise, wargear cards automatically place a limit (in theory) on duplicate items. Can be a balance thing
Hidden information and resource storing. Kensei did this particularly well. Cards can also be used as objective markers, pre-assigned treasure stashes, and the like
They add feelies and another place for art or story elements in a game, and can increase a box's perceived value. Even if the game only uses a regular deck of playing cards, custom decks are a common impulse purchase (see: Blood and Plunder, Deadlands, et. al.)
Quick reference to rules without opening the book

>Cons
For scummy creators, they're a great gacha/chase element. It's one of the ways Xwing and Armada pumped sales numbers; put critical cards for one ship into another box, especially cards you "need" multiples of. And of course that ship works best with some stuff from box #3..
Cards physically degrade very quickly, especially if you need to shuffle them multiple times per game. They're relatively easy to lose and often difficult to replace
It's extremely hard to effectively errata a card without a new print run, and using errata with them interrupts gameplay constantly. You might as well just have a table at that point. This bit Xwing in the ass.
Cards inevitably slow down setup and teardown: they usually also drag down gameplay, especially if there are a lot of rules on each card. They add a lot of "churn", so people can feel like they're doing more even with a shallow set of rules
