>>97355136Does anyone use any decent random super power generators online? I hear that a lot of them feel rather generic, and we can use some recommendations.
>>97357766Sure, the DC & Marvel wikis, and if you can stomach it, reddit respect threads, that have links to comic scans proving every assertion is almost always accurate.
>>97357766Not online, but you could adapt something like picrel (from Mutant City Blues). Pick a random starting cell (2d6) and direction to move (1d8)
>>97359165There are seven rows. 2d6 will not suffice to pick a starting cell.
>>97358484NTA, but I’m a little confused. Or maybe I’m just tired and this will make sense to me in the morning, lol.
What sci-fi setting has the best Space Rome?
>>97344214>he bends the kneeSend another inspection fleet, I'm sure they'll survive the trip this time.
>>97336278>Famed for it's military despite it's numerous military failures and questionable quality of soldiers>Conquer the Galaxy primarily through trade and bribery rather than outright conflict>Fought a competing commercial empire in a life and death struggle orchestrated by itself>Took over effectively the entire known universe then inexplicably stopped rather than deal with the weird sand people>Retarded Senate is ousted by Charismatic Senator with private military>Rebellions and Civil Wars are fought but are incapable of actually making anything better than the height of the Empire>Centuries later people still larp about being the true descendents
>>97346147>he actually fights the inspection fleets instead of just bribing themWhy though? It's much easier to spend a story point and 20k credits which is basically nothing in the midgame, am I too much of a space jew to understand this or something?
>>97337748How have I never heard of this? Are they any good?
>>97360615It didn't last all that long, and its biggest legacy is that some of the mapsheets got reused for Battletech.
realistically, how can I roleplay him?

>>97358481Make sure your >huh? face is in good form.
>>97358481Play the video game.
>>97358481gurps
>>97358481weirdly, VtM. I played him as a Toreador who uses Celerity for slow-mo, Auspex to boost gunplay, and he wouldn't stop fucking monologuing about his cynical dreary life.

>>97360211You know what, You are right. We should actually discuss our chains. Currently in my chain I am rewriting the first jump because the first and second jump stories were kind of mid. Not terrible but not good. Sadly writers block and lack of energy is kicking my ass. My jumper is in Gargoyles and bought a Pharmaceutical company that was the remnants of not-Umbrella after they were sued to oblivion and there is about to be an outbreak of man made monsters because a nosy protester sets something loose so my jumper who currently has no combat abilities is going to have to go hat in hand to beg the Gargoyles for help. Also no they aren't going to sleep with Demona. A+ looks, D- personality.
>>97360424Pretty much, yeah.>>97360437I'm doing a mecha chain, again. It's my eightieth one.Started in Railroads because spending fifty years as an engine driver's a good way to get used to long periods of time doing nothing, and the Casey's Cannonball and Unstoppable perks are amazing for a mecha chainThen I hit up Armored Core 4 for Human PLUS and Lightning Bruiser, forcing me to deal with corporate greed and turning me into a small frail loli that can't exert herself all that well.Third was Bubblegum Crisis for Master of War, where I kludged together a piece of shit mecha out of random junk I found in the dumpster and robbed a bank, then got pressganged into working for the local policeI hit up Lost Planet afterwards to get my first actual mech, the PTX-40A Hardballer. It's an absolute garbage mech that can lose against a moderately skilled martial artist, but all my buffs push it to a pretty nice levelThen I hit up Zoids for Metalmending to fix up my Hardballer where I ended up becoming a Zoid VeterinarianComment too long.

>>97360467Might need to slot in System Shock 1 before AC 4, to pick up a bunch of it's cybernetics as biological alternatives.The Biological Systems Monitor would be helpful for ensuring I get the maintenance I'll need in AC4, the Navigation and Mapping Unit and Target Identifier are nice to have in general, and the Environmental Protection Suit would protect me from airborn contaminants, which is important when you're a small sickly loli.Also, the Multimedia Data Reader would give me something to do on long guard missions, and possibly a way to control my mech without needing physical controls. Cortex Reaver would let me do stuff while fucking around with my Data Reader too
Rolled 2 (1d3)Jumper will, in the current jump:1 - Enjoy and relax2 - Do some testing related to seizing power in this kind of setting3 - Capitalize on the unique opportunity to hone a particular skill

Played my first game of MESBG today. I fell in love with the game. The only thing I feel bad about is that it took me this long to find people to play with!

>>97358407>but I'm starting to notice a pattern of magpie games being very superficial with its theming.Slapping random shit on PBTA and calling it good has been a 'design' style for a while. Its not good.
>>97358280Aren't these the guys making a Fallen London tabletop?I wonder how that'll go. Will OP complain that you can't play a giant bat-person? Will I still be able to fuck a squidman?
>>97358280>you don't get to play as the avatar and his team>instead you play as a random band of adventurers doing random things Only a nogames would think this is not only an issue, but isn't expected and the norm.
>>97358280>you don't get to play as the avatar and his teamYou're not forbidden from doing this, but you're heavily discouraged from doing this. It literally makes someone the main character, in terms of the plot, and heavily unbalances consequences between players.>instead you play as a random band of adventurers doing random thingsYou say that like it's a bad thing. But it's not quite correct. What you do is be a band of people (who are capable of fighting) who are trying to be the good guys, and you go do good guy things. What kinds of things is up to you, but it leans into Avatar's world for its setting details and history to give you a backdrop and themes to play off of. Also, you're all assumed to be youths (unless you're the Mentor playbook), and your personal mess is defined by the two opposing principles that your character values, but hasn't made up their mind about, which is very thematic for characters in Avatar.

>>97359404>thematic and restrictedSo much this. I want to skim an 'army book' of a game Im familiar with and immediately pick up on which faction it is because they're all distinct in fun and meaningful ways. The worst games are ones where you cover names and show me stat lines and abilities and I have no clueApart from the rampart series and similar where it's designed to let you make yourdudes yourway with what you might have on hand of course
can anyone recommend some tanks for the human defense force in one page rules? i like the progression from infantry to walkers but i feel like the tanks don't fit
Anyone have the fan rules for Dimensional Warfare: Tactics? It's the Robotech RPG Tactics spinoff game. I want to see how they rewrote the transformation rules. >>97358231They should not have gotten rid of the old site. They had painted examples that weren't transferred over. They used submitted images of painted models they didn't have a 'studio paintjob' for. The forum was ancient, but it had examples of nearly every model they made, and it's all gone now. And they lost their detailed tags.
>>97359404Thats a decent idea, i think heresy has a system like that, a core force org, then your added leaders or warlord add extra flexibility to army construction. Could be a good way to add some variance. I've always wanted a bike character to unlock more slots for bikes. Still doesn't help me with the immediate issue of balancing wargear, model, and unit costs, but I'll highly consider adding that in.>>97359022I've never actually looked into Battletech's tonnage system, but I'd assume it's similar to a points cost where the size of your mech is X tons, and each big gun you strap on to them is Y tons, up to a Z limit or something like that.>>97359718I've got 9 factions with 10 units plus 1 named character for each as a start. Each faction has 3 Leaders, 2 Troops, 2 Vanguard, 2 Mobile, and 2 Support units, and I've attempted to make sure that each faction from the start can at least do everything everyone else can.Some Factions are much better at certain game aspects than others are; The super shooty army isn't the best in melee, but has units that can still hold their own. I tried to make sure that each faction leans into their own theme, but multiple playstyles can emerge from each faction based on what you like to play.With leaders possibly offering different force org combinations, that opens up even more potential for army variance, but I still need a points system. I might just have to bite the bullet and figure out some arbitrary way to give costs to things. That'll bump up playtesting time a whole lot longer, for sure. In my playtest games, I've had both players start with an equal number of bases for each side, and it's worked out decently well for a "half-sized" game, the armies are mostly equivalent in power at that size of game, but I don't think it'll fly for a hyper-elite army or horde army playstyle. If both players get 50 "bases" worth of models, the custodes player will overrun the genestealer cults player every time.
>>97360544Tonnage is literally just how much the total unit weighs, and is completely worthless for balance because it only indicates what the target weight for that unit was when it was being designed, not whether it used that weight for anything practical or suitable for mech vs mech combat. Some designs are better suited to fight infantry or aircraft, and other designs are just bad both in and out of universe.
Could it work in a /tg/ context? Say you used the Damaging Objects rules from the d20 System.
>>97353484Because the gimmick is somewhat weak. Hardware limitations made destruction more impressive at the timeThat being said everyone likes being needlessly destructive sometimes so maybe I'm not thinking big enough
>>97344262>retard doesn't know what the word limitation means
>>97359396It's not a gimmick. It's just something that can happen.
>>97359410What makes you think that?

>>97357251Anon might have been confused with 2nd ed. In 2nd it worked as he said.
>>97356560At least the art these days is just "mediocre compared to the great works of the past" instead of offensively bad like in the dark times that started in the mid/late 2010s.

Finally started putting pen to paper on my 9th set, and I think I may have created the worst card in any game ever.Wheel Gator, Evil Fanged Heavy Tank150 PowerTrigger: When you take damage, both players add their hand to the bottom of their deck, then charge that many cards.For clarification "charge" is put those cards into a pile you draw all of next turn. So it empties both players' hands, then they draw up to their old hand size at end of turn.

We can't print the set unless we get our 2 mill!>people cancel preorders and spread the word that the game is dying >crowdfund falls short, damage control by creators, "we didn't meet our goal but we will still ship the set, in the future we will have to readjust our production line"All in all, their booster box prices are crashing HARD and it's in meltdown mode. People want to sell out before all interest dies. Not sure if they can recover honestly.It might be fun to buy if they end up being like $5-10 in the future just to crack packs
