What is the counterculture of 2020s, that could be used as the basis for a contemporary countercultural tabletop game?Take the World of Darkness for example, which was so grounded in the the counterculture of the 90s that it comes across as dated and strange today. How would you update the World of Darkness so that it better represents the counterculture of today?Nightmare Mode: Talk about more than just politics.

>>97333411I like to study ecological habitats for species influences.Meadow merfolk that plant sea wheat and farm manatees for milk.Goo lagoon merfolk that collect perfectly preserved corpses and mummifies themselves in the brinepools.Mountain merfolk that harvest coral and cause tsunamis by shifting the land.Forest merfolk that protect the kelp forest from sea urchin with pet crabs. They could trade kelp to sea travelers and guide them to safety.
Elves have evolved a mechanism to perfectly repair telomeres, effectively halting cellular aging. To prevent the runaway cell growth we call cancer, Elves must have incredibly aggressive "biological police" (p53 proteins). This makes their bodies hyper-sensitive to mutations. Elves aren't "aloof" because they are arrogant; they are risk-averse because their bodies are primed to trigger Apoptosis (programmed cell death) at the slightest hint of chemical or radiation damage. An Elf wouldn't drink alcohol or smoke; it would literally trigger a localized "shutdown" of their liver to prevent a tumor.
Do you prefer Pokémon, Yugioh, or Magic the Gathering?
>>97328735>zero interaction>yugioh
>>97326799Pokémon by a country mile
>>97326799Each game has a special place in my heart, and that's tied to my past experiences. Each one has fallen out of favor one way or another, but in the current day, playing Magic is my preference of the three.
>>97332680Yu-gi-oh has reached a point where, if you can't answer your opponent from the hand on turn 1, before you've even reached any cards, you might just fucking lose. Almost every deck is an elaborate combo streak where you want your opponent to not be able to stop you from completely popping off, and if you don't have an answer ready, you don't just get yourself in a bad position, you get absolutely buried.
>>97326799I liked Magic, pre-Eldrazi anyway. After that a combination of the people I played with wanting to go to tournaments and them looking up "meta decks" online and the Eldrazi set, I just quit Magic all together. I've still got all my cards, but I don't play any more.

>>97334391>MLP hardly did any thingNow I know you weren't in the trenches when the word "brony" dropped. The fact that it got a containment board (too little too late) and a fucking global rule says all that needs to be said about whether it had an impact.
>>97334409Motherfucker, I have been here since before the show existed. I remember what that shit was like, but it was brief, and the effects were not that long-lasting. My point is that you're overblowing the matter. Ponies have not been a concern for /co/ for so many years now, so blaming the board's current state on them is asinine.
>>97334417Well, I'd be curious to hear what you think the current state of the board IS to be blamed on. The cultural shift after the influx of MLP newfags was objectively immense (once again, citing /mlp/ and GR15), but I welcome alternative perspectives because the fall of /co/ could frankly be its own field of study.

>>97330065Whats crazy is to think that it's ok for governments to have 'events'.
>>97330158The real problem is that, since the White House is a building managed by the US government, there are a lot of rules about what you can and can't do with it. And, regardless of whether you think the reasoning is good, those rules are being actively violated for the sake of this rennovation.

>>97289156Oh that's very cool ! Congrats anon.In the same vein I submitted some of my games to the BGG board "traditional cards game contest", and one of my submission won the best mechanic category :)
I had an idea for a lightly-diceless game. As in, its mostly freeform but has a slight bit of crunch.Essentially, your character gets a set of traits which are called "Feats", always implied to be positive abilities or skills. These have a level. Whenever you encounter a challenge, you must use feats to overcome it that narratively fits. Then, you lose a level of that feat. Challenges also have levels, but will have certain feats that are more effective at beating them, just as a troll being weak to a Fire Magic ability. So it's a resource management game, where you can sometimes over come a tier 3 challenge with a tier two talent if it makes sense, letting you save your other tier 3 ability for later. Does that make sense for a game? Its somewhat contexualized as a story, so characters can only rely on their cool skills or powers limited numbers of times in each session or episode to sort of explain why they run out.

>>97327226After an atrocious start, lost 2 on prolog fight to horrendous rolls, and 3 more on the second fight. we made it back on our feet and got our first raw hide set. I wanted to go full style on this run and the group agreed to add flower knight for the first time. Going to be sad if the fights as bad as people say (currently painting it)
>>97328002Good luck anon, I believe in youSend me some of your minis before you do it though
>>97327226Doing alright, two deaths but starting on getting a super survivor with 2 strength, 2 evasion, and 1 luck so far. Killed 3 white lions and got a Rawhide set and part of a white lion set up (using CE). Facing the butcher next, I would have LIKED to have some monster grease but on year 3 I had a choice between antelope and white lion and I went with white lion in the hopes I could get a cat gut bow and circlet. I got neither. So I guess we're going this one raw.

>>97332369It's a good thing I replied to someone coping that Battletech Gothic was "a wet fart" and not someone saying it sold as much as a Warhammer kit, then.If you need to move the goalposts we can have a different discussion, though. What's your contention, exactly?Their "best selling" is a fraction of what GW makes on their worst selling CAD shit? Ok, their operating costs are also a fraction of what GW makes.
>>97332636Cygnar gets points in my book because lightning is never not a cool aesthetic. Though if I had ever got into the game before it imploded I probably would have gone with Retribution or Convergance, because I like how their warjacks look.
>>973307363D printing and every other hobbyist game that isn't based on tourneyfagging. Especially miniature agnostic games too. It looks like GW have split the market and now they cater to tourneyfags and paintfags and hobbyists look the other way.Hobby market has been trending towards historicals and alt-historicals. Small skirmish games and rank & flank.>>97331965Didn't BT get discovered by the sjw's? Once they get bored of it, its going nowhere. Going to stay the same stuffy future historic game played by grogs, like it always has been.I think its a good time to be a wargamer. Indie and passion projects are pouring out of the internet, and it's all free or cheap. I can only imagine it sucks if you're relying on the LGS element.

Just own that and move on. If i was in your place i would simply talk to the gm in private asking him some ways to offeset the current situation.

And ya know what, I hope he's refusing the return trip in spite of your control-freak ass. Sounds like he finally found a chance to teach your spoiled little ass a lesson about consequences.
>>97310607Honestly, I think it's a cool character choice to leave your gear behind and then have your hand tied behind your back for the rest of the adventure. It feels real and puts your character into an interesting position where they have to adapt. First priority becomes acquiring replacement gear somehow!>>97311346But you seem so upset by this that at this point you must speak with your GM directly. You are not having fun and that's a problem. Get over how it happened and work with the GM on how to make it better for next session. I'm sure you two will be able to work it out.
Previous thread: >>97215703GURPS 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: What are some systems or you would like to include or see included in a campaign, but haven't been able to? They don't have to be the main focus of the game, having them only as something on the side is okay.
>>97332758You mean the actual players are people who think they can do magic in real life?
