What's the most "modern" a fantasy setting can feel without it feeling forced or weird?

>>97392575A young punk TW. He uses old toys like rollerblades and propeller hats as TW gear.
>>97392626Female TW from Lazlo or other Magic Zone areas. Hit the wall, ate the christmas cake, rolled save everytime. Uses a rascal as a TW vehicle. TW hands from getting caught by the CS. (She got to tell Prosek to eat her taint. Everyone thought it was very funny.)
>>97392633Mind Melter. Turns out mind melters are big cajone guys who barely use equipment. I would think you'd see some real Ice Man types.
>>97392950Angry old MM. He is so powerful he stopped getting dressed and just annihilates people who bother him, which is anyone in line of sight.
>>97392575Ive playe we a TW. They're my favorite class
Anyone played this or seen it get played? It came across one of the rpg discords I'm in and it sounded interesting. Uses an action point system, death pools, etc.
>>97392910I backed it on Kickstarter. It's a fun game. If you wanted a TTRPG that more like the anime GATE or want play a TTRPG with guns that is balance and doesn't just treats guns the same as bows/spells.
What kind of tampons do you think they have in the Golden Throne palace complex on Terra in Warhammer 40k?
>>97392871Heh, nice cope. The boys that are the primary audience for Star Wars aren't interested anymore, the reason is because of all the girl power and woke shit that sequel trilogy was infused with. It takes time for this shit to really settle in and start killing things, but that time has arrived and Star Wars just ain't pulling the kiddos in anymore.

Why is there so much whinging about 'No Games' on this board? I understand that those who come here solely with the intention of discussing tropes and the like can be frustrating to deal with, but there seem to be some folks here who make it their mission to drop bursts of negativity in threads they should've known would enrage them. And even in these threads that hold more general discussion, I don't see how nearly all of them are not at least tangentially related to traditional gaming.
>people post spam replies in spam threads Oh no, what a tragedy.
>>97392582Your father never loved you.
>>97392387>/pol/ babblingyou mean when we call out you troons and blatant leftie faggots for being agitprop and coopting agents? Funny how that works and is never mentioned.
>>97391485Because (you) constantly spam the board with pointless timewasting questions. Noone needs to see>do you prefer apples or oranges in your settingIts just autism and/or someone's sex fantasy. Usually both. Turns out you anime porn addicts can all be asassinated by just asking what game, because the one thing you cant stand is a concrete objective and sourceable answer. 5e? Oranges, page 15 of volos. Next. But you dont want that, you want to waste hours and hours of our time and energy entertaining you because you're a cunt
>no, you see? when I purposefully enter a thread I'm not interested in it's someone else's fault

>>97299566Do I need to speak English to play this game?
>>97392501Kinda, the game has been translated to spanish, italian, german, japanese and iirc french and portuguese, however most people DO treat the english translation as the default due to shitty localizations and/or rulings not being specific in other languages (if vs when, send vs destroy, affect the cards vs affect the player, etc), so you can get away with playing in say, german, but you also need to know english to avoid getting "sharked" in locals, never mind YCS tournaments where the judges are mostly american.
>>97392501Yes.

>>97392325Noted. You having an opinion about a mechanic doesn't denigrate, now and forever, everyone that seeks to discuss a card game that is on topic for the thread.I like the battlefield. It exposes strategy-lets, usually the type that just wants one communal field where their board state can't fall over if it wasn't positioned properly.

>>97392525Neat. Again, subjective opinions are welcome, you're not required to like it. Know what else is welcome? How about everyone that is here to talk about what they like about the game, posting cards they have or wanting to discuss strategy. No need to constantly let folks prop up hateful rhetoric with fake posts designed to damage the reputation of a game here. Whatever transgressions they fabricate don't change the fact that the game is on topic for the thread. Reminder, irrational shitposting isn't on topic, so flag anything you see that's obvious, the troll has no shame.
>the next BBEG in your campaign is a coomer that goes around kidnapping and mind controlling women for his harem, and literally that’s it.Does your party even care? Does your setting/game system even care? Assume that the BBEG is an adequate challenge and difficulty for your setting and party (whether it’s Exalted or DND or Rogue Trader or whatever, and the villain is always the right difficulty level for your party whether you’re lvl 1 or lvl 20 or a weenie or a Solar, the scale is perfect).Basically is this guy a problem you and your crew would want to fix in whatever game you’re playing.If he isn’t, what would it take to make him be a problem? A bigger bounty or reward? A personal friend that got turned into a harem slave?
>>97392837With all the potentially dangerous tech/magic around in these systems, one really should consider what kind of regulations are enforced, but anyway.This could be a good introduction for something greater, like this guy maybe just wants to fuck hot women, but he is in contact with the ones that provide them. This implies someone higher up, maybe a whole organization and network. Think something like the minor subplot in ready or not. You move up one step at a time, and you uncover the real BBEG at the head of an organization that aims for something more sinister.
>>97392828>>97392770Oh noooo she got captured oh nooooo.... guess you gotta save her. Too bad she'll have been used a couple of times before your party gets to her though.>>97392705You clocked me hard, but it didn't matter in the end, anon.
>>97392853Oh no, damn, wow, the BBEG used his harem of mind controlled slaves to steal all your party's shit, what a tragedy oh nooooo....
>>97392927>>97392963Oh no?!Kek.
Just another AI garbage thread.
This is a specification for an exterior ballistics software that can be used to calculate damage at long range in tabletop RPGs like Phoenix Command or GURPS where that sort of question arises with some degree of frequency. It takes in physical characteristics of a projectile (diameter, length, mass, etc.) and uses an ODE method to calculate velocity after a period of time has passed. I'd recommend either C++ or pure C for the programme as, particularly if you are generating tables for many types of projectiles, it can get very computationally intensive.For the specification, start with the formula for drag force, $F_d = \frac{1}{2}\rho v^{2}C_{D}A$, so $\frac{\rho v^{2}C_{d}A}{2m} = a$. The issue is $C_D$, which must be determined empirically. We have an advantage in that drag curves all look more or less the same in terms of shape and proportionality (multiply the drag coefficient on a G7 drag curve by about 1.9 and you will likely be pretty close to the drag coefficient at that mach number on a G1 drag curve). Thus, we define our generic drag curve as on the below table. When a bullet is between mach numbers you have the option of linearly interpolating between them, which is less realistic but easier to write code for and will run faster, or using a more complex formula such as Lagrangian or Newtonian Interpolation, which are more accurate but slower. The typical air density (rho) at sea level is 1.225kg/m$^3$. A typical speed of sound at sea level is about 340 m/s.

>>97391876>>97391899You don't have the voxels right there in the rulebook. It's tabulated, like the picture I've attached.
>>97391904Okay, so it looks like if you do 1-3 penetration you do 1 damage, and anything more than that you do massive damage.1. How many hitpoints does the average person have? Is a 4 penetration hit with 13 damage enough to kill them, or do PCs have more like 100 health?2. How much damage does a punch to the head do? You can definitely kill someone with a single punch to the forehead even though it doesn't penetrate the skull.
>>97391915(1) Every wound taken has a chance of killing a character. Divide Lethality by a character's Wound Recovery Potential to find Tissue Damage, then reference Tissue Damage on a table. 3 points of tissue damage is about a 2% chance to kill. 150 is essentially 100%. It's a sigmoidal curve, so the probability of death asymptotically approaches 1.(2) That's what 'BTBD' (Blunt Trauma Base Damage) is for. A very solid punch to the head fight deal 4 or 5 Impact base, which is then multiplied by 5.4 = 21.6 or 27 points of damage, or about a 53 or 54% chance of death, given that the wound is left entirely untreated. Medical treatment could decrease that to an essentially 0% chance of dying.
I personally feel that tabletop games shouldn't be too simulationist, but congrats

>>97392859>But my actual suggestion is to follow ANY instructions very cautiously (or don't even follow them at all) and instead dry fit all the parts first to figure out the best orderMy dude if you put shit together without dry fitting it first then you deserve to have such a difficult time building
>>97392867I dry fit a small amount of parts - e.g 2-3 at the time, here you fucking have to dry fit half if not the entire sphere first
>>97392877now I'm not saying the instructions aren't bad, because they arebut a basic glance at the picture you posted shows the pieces are going to be a problem later since the heads all overlay where the next piece goes
>>97392886I'm not saying this isn't on me for not paying enough attention either but this is the first time (for me) when the official build guide is just absolutely fucking wrong (I've seen small missteps like with killy butcher but nothing completely FUBAR, until now) so I didn't have that many reasons to doubt the instructions in their entiretyJust wanted to warn others to not make the same mistakes as I didBesides this one no other KDM mini gave me as much trouble tbqh
>>97392918No biggie, here's the ones I know of>Lonely Tree skips steps>Gorm penis should be put on while putting the back half on the front half, not after it's already glued>Sunstalker tongue should be put on sooner so you don't hate yourself>Killy butcher base should be done last, not first, due to the centipede blocking his cape>Ignore gambler's ball entirely, dryfit with stickytack before doing a gluebtw I'm pretty sure with your ball you could have trimmed down the slots that insert into the holes to be able to force the pieces in at an angle instead of having to cut parts off.

Dragon's Dogma had a nice interpretation of them, clearly visually inspired by LotR films.>>97328676>>97372937WoD's portrayal of the old Orcs was fun, but also demonstrates one of the problems with changing Orcs from a classic monster race to one that's capable of making moral choices. Cause if you do that an then try to keep all the fun barbarian raider orc tropes, you end up with something far far more problematic than just sticking to the classic always evil monsters. So yeah, kind of fun, but Orcs have been a mess since, I dunno, TBC.

Previous thread: >>97295718GURPS 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.
