Any of you guys ever play this? What's it like? I happened to be looking for a game to run something like ghostbusters in, though I was looking at stuff like hunter the reckoning, and stumbled across this today.
>>97261804Ive played a one shot of spooktacular, which is an IP free version of the game. Enjoyed it quite a bit, it was a lot of fun. It's a very light weight game.
>>97261804It's fun, it's simple, suitable for adults and kids.First edition was slightly better. Not all that many real differences mechanically, added a little encumbrance rule rather than just can carry five items or whatever it was, made a rule for making weird science stuff, added a sort of wound/injury rule. They also got rid of the character and equipment cards because they cost too muc--because they were "childish". Making a character in first edition takes seconds, and a few more seconds in second. Its dice pool system is the progenitor of the d6 or D6 system like used in WEG Star Wars.It's not something I'd probably make a long campaign of, though that is where the second edition was headed, but for a short campaign it's fun and it's never out stayed its welcome. It's easy to learn and as I said works with kids and adults. The only warning I'd give is that it's supposed to light entertainment and it's a bit less fun if you play it completely straight but don't got for slapstick. If you and the players don't take it seriously that's worse I'd say than taking a more serious game and playing that for laughs.
>>97261804I played a Ghostbusters game, but for the life of me can't remember if it was the official rpg or some custom thing my friend made. Our characters were Ghostbusters franchisees for the city we actually live in. My character was a small time con man who didn't believe in ghosts and joined up because he thought it was just a way to scam credulous rubes. Finding new ways to rationalize the increasing levels of ghost activity was fun.

What is the best TTRPG for a Kenshi Campaign?
>>97256994Rent free
>GURPSIs not a functional TTRPG, but a box of parts for amateur development of one. It is quite a useless suggestion without a very thorough defining of which options from which sourcebooks, at which point you may as well just wrap it in a fan-supplement yourself.
>>97257329Yeah, that's what the earlier discussion about using Basic or even Lite was about. If it was me:>Basic Set covers most every rule>Low-Tech for extra equipment >Martial Arts for extra combat options >After the End for tinkering and environmental hazards
>>97257329You don't know jackshit of what you are saying. You really can do all you need with just Basic with only using supplements for ridiculous specific stuff which you can only grasp once you actually start playing.
>>97258327>>97261064The point very much includes the matter of options NOT to use, thus Basic covering an enormous amount of ground is part of the problem. Because the POINT of GURPS is that it's not specific to any particular subset of TTRPG design space, and thus to support a specific theme the end user has to undertake no small amount of design work pruning what doesn't fit.All the discussion has been what enormous mounds of content apply, none of the detail of what to remove that's needed to actually assure the campaign fits Kenshi in particular.

I genuinely don't understand what you hope to gain from posting this junk in the one thread where it is guaranteed to be appreciated least. Grog is about leaving the future behind and appreciating the best of the past, traditional crafts by traditional methods.

Dubs and above turn into canon.
>>97261795creepy but cool
>>97262200>00 Holy fuck. The mere mention of the ultimate heresy is enough for Allah to damn your soul. Damn son.
>>97262218No Shia, no African Islam, no fallen nobles turned bandits, no Christianized Arabs. No cave lizard, terror bird, or ant mounts. Ouch. There's still lots of possibilities though:>Sufism: that might have made it through with the Mamluks. A dervish was traveling with them and ended up stuck here. They're periodically purged by the Ulama who dislikes their relatively lax interpretation of God. >The Cult of the Supreme Creator: African cultures typically held that the world was created by one being. This idea became widespread in areas outside of the abode.>The Timars failed to gain independence, but they took up important positions among the Emirates. Many Pashas are loyal to the Emirs and that puts pressure on the Janissaries. >Muslims were very resistive to foreign missionaries. Even during the Crusades, which has left the number of apostates relatively negligible among the high born.>Ironically, many 'prey' animals were immune to lycanthropy which seemed to target predatory animals en masse. Bison, Goats, Rams, Lamas, and even Elephants are still used as beasts of burden by humanity.
>>97258311Some anons tried to expand on this. I'll ad my own spin:>Lycanthropy gets less and less infectious, to the point where it's nonexistent, the farther you get away from Mammals. For example: Amphibians and Insects are atypically not labeled 'beasts' and have very little in common with human biology, so they're completely safe. Octopi, Squid, Snails, numerous invertebrates are also safe to be around. Reptiles and fish are hit and miss, with Sharks the most potent carriers of both kingdoms while some lizards like the Iguana and the Bearded Dragon are pretty safe to be around. Birds were able to avoid infection due to being both genetically distant, and the ability to easily flee from lycanthropic monsters.>Among mammals, smaller docile creatures like the fox and the porcupine survived and even prospered as hunting dogs were exterminated by paranoid humans. Humans are using more and more traps to fight off invasive hordes of rabbits, badgers, weasels, foxes, and now raccoons. Geographically, the biospheres look like this:>Caliphate: Insects and Lizards prosper. Birds of Prey are the big cheese. Locusts have a lack of natural predators so they're increasingly becoming a menace to all kingdoms. >Holy League: smaller mammals are prevalent. There's a big rabbit infestation right now. A lot of seaborne mammals call the southern coastline home. >Elf land: docile bison and yaks are prevalent, arctic birds like puffins and arctic eagle are the dominant predators. Elves like to introduce terrible creatures from the planes.
In the southern kingdoms, the Kingdom of God maintains the unity of the faith through the Holy Inquisition. The Inquisition is an order of clerics descended from the Severan Monastic Order that once settled doctrinal disputes and canonical law. Now they relentlessly hunt the foes of the Holy Church, be they Saracen or heretic, and will hunt monsters as Satan defiled the garden and brought lycanthropy into the world. Inquisitorial Acolytes tend to work in cells, answering to a Lord Inquisitor. These cells generally have four roles:>The Investigator: generally, the captain of the squad. An expert in heresy investigations with a background in witch hunting, he's the one tasked with leading and managing the squad. He's the one who supervises the interrogations, judges the honesty of confessions, studying clues, and overseeing the inspection of suspicious zones. He also acts as Judge, Jury, and Executioner. Deciding who lives and who dies. >Holy Blades: a squad of warriors that escorts the investigator. These men are atypically recruited from the knightly orders or from feudal levies and are authorized by the Investigator to kill anyone deemed an enemy of the faith. To symbolize their induction into the Blades, they are given swords anointed in holy water thus symbolizing their status as defenders of the Faith. >Torturer: the name says all. They are the dead eyed men who apply the terrible tools of the Investigator to the accused. And they're good at it, recruited from the numerous prisons and dungeons that dot the southern lands. But the Inquisition doesn't just take the average Gaoler or Ramsay Bolton, nope. All torturers have a medical background and are entrusted with monster vivisections, often being sawbones in their former lives. >Theologian: experts in religious theology and holy law. They are the ones who dictate conundrums like so and so is a saint, or if one vow of poverty is too extreme. They also make sure that the Investigator adheres to canonical law.

>>97262215I don't get your schizo rantMy point is you need the villains to be a fucking threat to make victories look important. If the Empire always loses then it makes them a total fucking joke and the OT becomes pointless cause the Rebels would have won anyways. It's why George made the Empire win various times in the OT: they take over the Tantive, they successfully kill Ben, they win all throughout ESB and both Yavin and Endor are barely victories with tons of Rebel casualties. Lucas knew how to make the Empire threatening, Henry doesn'tThis is the exact same thing we all complained about with TCW, the Republic always wins and the CIS always loses which makes the war a fucking joke.
>>97262208yeah just like that. I think the ak has almost enough greebly details as is, it just needs some fantastical aspect to it to help it blend into the setting.

Im out of my depth hereTL;DR Im trying to learn how to run a setting I have no experience with. Looking for setting influence. -I would like some help with this concept, post apocalyptic science fantasy. The idea that the world was propelled forward by magic tremendously, but then cataclysmic events reset civilization, and now were living in the post era. Im used to running Sci-Fi, Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, Lancer, but this new group has requested me to run fantasy for them. I agreed, but I told them I wanted to draw from influences that im familiar with, the closest comparison I can think of is the Televison Show Adventure Time where there was technology and then a fall, and now we have magic and some science tech. Disparate cities and no main governing body. -So, im looking to add to my influence, are there any pre existing settings ? Are there any fun things you've ever wanted to do along these lines ?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97262609>Isn't there an Ashes Without Number now? How's that, do you know?it uses the Edges thing like Cities does.That said, there's rules for mixing all the Without Numbers systems if OP wants to use that.
>>97260477Based. I've been wanting to run something similar. Thundarr the barbarian was my favorite show growing up.
>>97262804Cities has some magical edges you could use.I guess it has more to do with how magical he wants things to be. Cities magic is lower to the ground, more like psionics. There's like 20 spells all a sentence long, there's summoning, there's channeling all your magic oomph into being a Monk/superhuman (no mystic adept allowed, no enchanter edge because it assumes magic items are things you adventure for). Doesn't play nice with cybernetics. It's very shadowrun inspired.Worlds is high magic. You have bigass flashy spells per day (not vancian) and then also arts that use effort like normal like cities/psionics. Also you have a hp penalty. All the partial mages just have arts no capital S Spells™.
>>97260477What game?
>>97260477The best Science Fantasy author of all time is Roger Zelazny. You can go w/ the first 5 of Amber Chronicles if you wanna do "alternate dimensions bring technology out of place." But he's got plenty of standalone novels that do similar things, too. Personally, I like Changeling and Madwand because they'd make a great campaign to wholesale rip off.
ca/tg/irls, have you ever roleplayed a MALE character?(inspired by the other thread, because why not)
>>97256921Yes, but it triggered my gender dysphoria
>>97261208I bet he could hold his breath for ten minutes.
>>97256921During my cringey HS/college Tumblr days I used to play male characters because I always said I was a gay man in a woman's body. Now it's like a 50/50 split.
>>97259127I'm a dude but my playgroup is 4 women and 2 men, and only one of the women hasn't played a male character at one point or another. One of them has played almost exclusively male characters.The thing they actually won't do is GM. Me and the other man have played less characters, because one of us is typically GMing, but we've both only played men also in the games we have been in, although I'm considering a female PC for an upcoming campaign (I don't like evil/scumbag characters and the next one is apparently going to work best with mercenary, money-focused PCs, so I'm leaning toward an orphanage matron who has taken up thieves guild work to fund the institution. Feels more natural for the PC to be a woman. Still a human though, I'm not a freak.).So anyways, the women in our group run cross gender PCs way more than the men.
Traditional games?
What kind of fantasy monsters are you into? I like original abominations, standard humanoids/mythological creatures/giant animals are boring to me.
>>97251663Poor Wilbur!

>>97228517Tulpas and shit, human negativity made manifest, like in JJK.
>>97228517As the enemies to fight? Humanoids, preferably as a direct parallel to real life minorities.Romantically? Classic mythological creatures. Sphinx, gorgon, and such.
>>97228517What traditional game(?) are you talking about?
Have you ever roleplayed a female character?
>play female halfling>make my picture on dnd beyond the porn star, dolly little >all players make jokes about how I’m their gf to NPCs >last session, a player playing basically an Indian guy was smelling my feet while I was asleepDo I regret playing a hot girl? YesAm I secretly hoping that I get killed off? Sometimes Do I now have a superficial understanding of what it’s like to be a hot girl in a group of all guys? No comment
I'm doing it right now in a cyberpunk campaign. She's a confident businesswoman who's climbing the corpo ladder and occasionally goes out to party. She may entertain some fuckboy male PCs, depending on how well they can dance. If she finds an output that really tickles her fancy, she may share her apartment with them. Don't ask about her past, it's 3edgy7u.
>>97234702As a GM, all the time. As a player, never once.
>>97234966I’ve only ever played with one, and he was a good, creative, agreeable player, although a bit shy and prone to cancelling last minute. Solid gamesense, good balance between serious/lighthearted roleplay, total pushover when the party was split on a decision. But that’s literally the only one I’ve ever played with.
>>97234702Have you ever played traditional games? That is the real question.

Do Clan Pestilens Skaven and Nurglite factions get along? I know that's kind of anathema to how Skaven work but you'd think their would at least be a commonality between the two. Always thought it was weird that there were just two chaos gods that had disease theming, even if it's just an aspect of the Rat.
>>97261257Grats on The victory anon, I too had a game - 2k standard battle scenario.I fought against the nurgle warband of my buddy but this time I brought the rats.I am afraid to say the horned rat watched this day, and nurgle shied his eyes.All of my skyre contraptions were horrifyingly accurate and without the misfires that plague them, the highlight of this was likely the warp lightning cannon shooting a 42 inch blast at strength 10 that scythed through 9 expensive chaos warriors, - they panicked with the accompanying 300 point exalted champion then fled off the board in the following turn. Honestly I don’t think the entire experience was very cool for my friend this time. I lost: 8 giant rats, 11 clanrats, and a wound off the doomwheel. My warlord also poisoned himself down to one wound with the felblade, and my Warplock engineer ate dud warp stone.In return I wiped my opponent. Oof. Here’s some cool pictures though and my list.0 - Renegades (Square Based)295 - Grey Seer, General, Wizard Level 4, Illusion, Meteor Hammer, Lore FamiliarComment too long.

>>97262780Sometimes, see vermintide.>>97262987This is the closest point in the match, I overrun into the giant, get hit in the side by the last ogre and worse, first charge by the chariot so I was disrupted. Lose by 4, somehow the warlord manages to screech some sense into the rats by himself and he makes the breaktest.
>>97262995The shambles, as the chaos exalted hero legs it off the board after having the majority of his warband toasted by an extra potent warp lightning cannon blast

>>97262990Weird how they switched from "end THE attack" to "end THAT attack" between the two waves of Lilith support in EX6 and EX7, only to switch back to "the" between EX10 and BT23.
>>97262990yeah I knew the lilithmon line but I just counted them as "one", since I guess I meant "3 lines" rather than 3 cards.tumble, lilithmon line, and puppets were what I was thinking.legitimately forgot about belph, destro, and sheep (and necro but I didn't like that necro despite playing ghosts)jelly and omni are a legit surprisethanks for the comprehensive info of it anon
>>97262977Yes you could.
>>97263018Okay sick so there is still viability in him being in the deck. Thanks, anon.
>>97263015my guess of the 3 were Belphemon, Hanimon and Kokeshimon because they're the only ones anyone seems to use.Hopefully the memory gain Tumblemon gets restricted so that the deck is forced to feel more Black rather than the Red/Blue it basically is now

>>97262696isn't that just the movie poster?
>>97262794Yes it is. I remember it being on the VHS when it was released in the 90s. Coolest shit I'd ever seen, insta-bought it from Suncoast.
>>97262794NTA. Yes, but some of the movie posters are pretty fucking good so it works out. Less so on other cards sadly.
>>97262944>Less so on other cards sadly.that's because they're commissioning nothing new from what I can see, it's all screen grabs and posters the whole way through. Too bad they can't draw from the comics, there was a lot of material they could use there.
>>97263005Yeah. Game honestly feels in a pretty weird spot where board and gameplay wise you'd think it would be a board game or at most an LCG but the Japanese addiction to gacha means no, it has to be a tcg, you will open packs looking for the golden foil signed $1000+ dollars cards and you will like it.
