Why do lawful "good" players get upset when you remind them that all demons are objectively evil, and therefore must be purged?
I would have literally never even thought about it if you just had me kill a bunch of evil demons. DOOM is a best-seller every time without fail. It's your endless fucking insistence that no there is NOTHING wrong with killing THESE demons they are ALL evil and just animals that makes people try and see good in them. The more you frantically shout all demons are evil always instead of just having it be a background fact that you don't need to worry about, the more it makes me go the author doth protest to much, methinks.
>>97214727It's because buddist demons are more "human stuck at a bad job" than christian "fallen angels" ones
>>97214217They don't. The ones who get mad are those who can't accept objective alignment i.e. They really hated Frieren.
>>97214217>Its an "all RPGs exist in a comprehensive and internally consistent setting that just happens to conform to my assumptions and preferences" episodeCall me the buddha because if you met me on the road it'd be better to just fucking kill me.
>>97215740I hated Frieren because we go from a fun slice of life show to tournament arc #37474 where a bunch of cardboard cutouts show off their basic bitch superpowers

Previously: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96936967/When last we met, we made G.E.T.S. (Generally Entertaining Team-built System). Thus far, it seems to be a fairly minimalist system.Now, we shall make our first setting for this system.If your proposed idea gets doubles, it is canonized. Any canon characters, worldbuilding, themes, et cetera can be modified (but not outright contradicted or discarded) by triples, quadruples, et cetera.Let us continue.
>>97210350It seemed like a good idea at the time.
How do we know when to stop posting?
World topology is a mobius strip.If you go around it you get reversed in body and soul and become evil. (You'll think everyone else is reversed and evil.)
This setting lacks the law of conservation of energy.

>>97215290>>97215361Read the TF rules in "The Inquisition" second edition and Dark Ages: Inquisition, both have a blurb saying that the rules for TF contained in the book are the official core rules for TF and that Tf as it appears in other splats is shorthand like how vampires have gifts in the back of a WTA book.The full rules for TF give you extra dice to all your Virtue pools and a resource(faith points for modern inquisitors and conviction for DA inquisitors) that you can spend for automatic successes on virtue rolls. A vampire with even a half-decent TF score is practically immune to externally imposed bullshit that could force them to fail a humanity test. The only way a Vamp with TF can lose humanity is if they Willing Choose to defy their own faith.
>>97215227The exceptional success bonuses are to my eyes clearly borne out of the fact that in playtest no-one used the busted Fate bonuses to Spellcasting and I firmly believe that no playtesting was done for characters with Gnosis higher than 4. Within those two limits, and if your players are newbies like mine are, the exceptional successes on spellcasting are rare enough that the withstand breaking isn't even relevant most of the time, at least compared to the option to recoup mana (in my game no one took Hallow at chargen, and now the cabal is scrambling to ask around for a free one to take over).But if you have someone with even just a bit of system mastery, or somehow you group start playing with Adept level Arcana + High Gnosis + Yantra optimisation minigames, you can fairly easily break a lot of the example spells, let alone whatever creative thaumaturgy a group of experienced players can come up with. But you know what, it's at least still somewhat more restrained 1e ritual spells allowing you to basically accrue arbitrary numbers of success to stack.Also personal note: I know it's probably better for balance and all, but both Spirit Fetishes being much more volatile (breakin automatically if the Spirit's essence equals their corpus ever, even if the spirit doesn't want to) and Spirit 5 ability to create new spirits being hard-capped at Rank 2 were huge bummers to me, but I get the why.But I could go on about things that I think 2e Awakening (and CofD in general compared to 1e nWoD) has made lamer from 1e, and frankly the improvements to the spellcasting engine, while not something unsubstantial, are not equal worth having to deal with lamer Proximi rules, lamer Prelacies, DaveB canonizing his pet villain or wasting wordcount referencing a 1e SAS that no one has ever played.
>>97215561At the end of the day, it only takes a couple of changes to make me not hate 2e Mage casting. Off the top of my head, Just remove that and make it so Shielding isn't so all-encompassing.

Post amazing terrain, amazing tables, and good looking games Rules: no slop!
>>97213902Uhhh anon did you not read the OP, this thread is for good terrain
>>972125431. take 1.5-2 inch nails, preferably one with large flat heads2. glue them onto a base with the tip facing upwards using super glue3.spray paint the entire thing brown4. grab some hot glue or gel super glue, apply a generous amount to the tip5. stab a chunk of Woodland Scenics FOLIAGE CLUSTERS onto the nail.6. base and seal with water/pvaUse the foliage clusters, not clump foliage. foliage clusters are large and dense, clump foliage is tiny and crumbly, a real pain in the ass to work with for this purpose.
I wish I had the space for all of this. for the tools, the materials and the finished terrain.right now all of my stuff is either in the way or put away in a way that I forget that i have it. and when I build something, I have to properly store it somewhere for it not to be damaged.
I don't have sick amazing terrain, but I'm trying
>>97193526Man the redditors really hated this post. Weird how they keep coming to this cat website just to get mad.
Without thinking about it, entirely subconsciously, you are trained by Pathfinder and D&D to safeguard your players. You are taught to coddle them! And when does this subconscious teaching happen? Not in ANY dungeon master resource. It happens before your first adventure, before your very first D20 roll.It happens when you create characters.In Pathfinder, character creation takes a ridiculous amount of time. I ran it for about six years, and I saw it take well over an hour, sometimes going up to two for new players. As a GM who understood the system inside and out, I could get it done in about a half hour. Losing a character in a game with such a painstaking character creation process is absolutely devastating. As a GM, you wonder if that person will bother to make a new character, or if they will just leave, and if they do, who will go with them? Will you even have a game afterwards?And enemy statblocks are the same way. You look at these massive text blocks that include three different saving throws, the type of hit dice, types and sub-types of creature, and perhaps most hilariously unnecessary, ALL SIX STATS. Who on earth looks at all that and dares think “I’ll make some monsters of my own!” Please understand, I’m not saying nobody makes their own monsters. I’m saying that it is an undertaking to make a monster with a statblock like that. Figuring out saves, stats, and heaven forbid you want to get CR correct, good luck with testing out that garbage.
So many GMs don’t make their own monsters. Why would you, when you have 5 bestiaries to pluck from? You end up spending your GMing time feeling like a human calculator, balancing CR, doing 4-6 encounters per day, totaling up XP and gold. You, the GM, are left with the drudge work.Pathfinder, and to a lesser extent 5e, treats the GM like trash. And yet they are wildly popular.There’s systems that are so much better. Don’t want to deviate from 5e? Try Five Torches Deep, it’s a rules-lite, very deadly hack of 5e with lightning quick character creation and really fun ideas on dungeon design. Want a game that’s easy to pick up and play? Try Into the Odd, a surreal fantasy game that mixes up combat by removing to-hit rolls entirely. Want a Sci-Fi spacefaring game? Stars Without Number has a great modular system where you can customize a lot about your universe’s rules, and a ship combat system that every player I’ve run it for has fallen in love with. Mörk Borg, OSE, Lamentations of the Flame Princess, Dark Streets and Darker Secrets, the Black Hack, the White Hack, Paranoia, Death is the New Pink.There’s tons of great stuff out there with systems that empower GMs and engage players. You don’t have to spend hours working with a system that doesn’t respect you.(A lot of my points here are against Pathfinder, but 5e does all this too, just not as bad)
>>97215768>Five Torches Deep>Into the Odd>Stars Without Number>Mork Borg>Black Hackoh, you're a NuSR shilli've got my retroclones and that's all i needgood taste in paranoia though
>>97215768Pathfinder is unironically one of the worst systems ever made. They took the worst aspects of 3.5e, tripled down on them, and then pozzed it for good measure.
>>97215768>Modern game designPathfinder was released in 2009, bro
Tolkien is to blame for the state of 5e and generic fantasy that you see in TTRPGs. We wouldn't have horrible big fat fantasy books, nor power fantasy / wish fulfilment, which you find in scaling levels through so-called "XP". Fantasy used to be an experimental, creative, and wild genre filled with mad imagination; now, it is all wooden and samey. >tl;drListen to this:https://voca.ro/1Rwc7lMX0hfT

Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you? Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?>inb4 I don't because I'm not a faggut, hurr durr
As someone who hates these people, it's because it's always their fetish waifu. Every time.
>>97214962have you actually met someone like that or are you just making assumptions
>>97215004Met many, mostly obvious fetish plays. Go post any ad as a GM and see what kind of characters/applicants you get. It's disturbingly common.I also played with one for a while, and was friends with him for years outside of the game too. He played his ideal waifu, fit into the fantasy setting we were playing. It was acceptable solely because he had no off-putting fetish things (basically he was just vanilla). It was still undeniably his waifu and he got constantly teased about it without ever denying it. I have yet to meet or see a single female character (actually played not just theoretical) that didn't fall into this category. If I did, I'd be open to changing my mind. But the pattern has been unerring thus far in my some ~12 years of playing TTRPGs.
>>97214962What do you mean a fetish waifu? I get wanting to make a pretty female character, does it go beyond that?
>>97215717I've specifically seen lolibaba and furry stuff that was unmistakably fetish related. I didn't play with those people though; the ones I have played with (like mentioned) were just playing their idealized version of a woman but with super powers/magic/whatever matches the setting.

>In the game Werewolf: The Apocalypse, the Garou (werewolves) were made to defend the earth from the cosmic forces that threaten to tear it apart. The Garou fight against the Wyrm, the destroyer. It is a struggle against nearly insurmountable odds, especially considering the rivalry between many tribes. These rivalries make it almost impossible for the werewolves to present a unified front against a cosmic force that pervades reality.>From this morass of hatred and mutual betrayal, there is little hope that the Garou can emerge triumphant against a foe so well armed as the Wyrm. The Wyrm promises money, power, sex, and whatever else the heart desires to its followers while the Garou receive no reward for their striving. It drives them deeper and deeper into despair, or into betrayal so deep that they choose to serve the Wyrm instead.Main Rulebooks:>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Rulebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Rulebook>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Second Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Second_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Revised Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Revised_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_20th_Anniversary_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition Corebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_5th_Edition_CorebookComment too long.
