what did you use to edit the image? I want to take a try.

>>97339958
Google image search to find a merge of Monica Bellucci and Megan Fox's faces somebody made, there are many because they're rather similar actresses, it looked like an old PhotoShop without the use of AI.
I uploaded it to Sora (ChatGPT), it's actually not a violation of ToS because the merged face isn't a real woman btw, then Remixed it (i.e. edited it) by prompting only once (better than going through many prompts, it stops looking like said actresses) for: blue-green eyes with gold flecks, longer saturated bright red hair, hair covering and hiding both ears, a black fox fur coat, and a faint smug smirk. Incidentally, the smirk made the jaw less manly.
I never tried this before so I needed many attempts to figure out what I want and how to get it.
Again, I only had the pic edited, not generated, also mentioning the names of real people in a prompt is a no no.
Finished by editing the edit with Affinity to adjust contrast, saturation and lighting, the paid version has AI tools but I'm not paying for those.

So that was what you meant by 'high-caliber' boots. Gotta say, you wear yourself better than the rest of the wannabe blood mages I've met in my time.

It was good.

Enjoy the knife, one of my better antler pieces. And don't let anything Mèo-Mèo said get under your skin. She stares at the sky like that and mutters ominous portents of doom only... Semi Regularly? Ever since I got her out of Marquette she's been doing better but the seer curse is still pretty strong in her.

Falleen are a really interesting race and the highly inflammatory rumors that they use some unseen body chemical to influence non-falleen people around them is completely false and utterly speciesist behavior.
>muh pheromones
That's just bigotry from backwards outer-rim yokels who couldn't point out a Falleen if it was the only non-human in a lineup.

I actually met Prince Xizor himself during trade negotiations as a representative for Kark MegaIndustries - Plaststeel Division and let me tell you he is an amazing man with nothing but the good of his people at heart.
I was taken aback by his warm and friendly demeanor, despite the utter tragedy his people suffered during planet-wide pandemic that has decimated his people. It is with great pride I signed the declaration of intent for Kark MegaIndustries to sell a majority share of our projected Plasteel production for the coming ten years to Xizor Transport Systems for use in refugee relief work at a greatly reduced rate. This strategic partnership will ensure not just growth for both companies in the long term but also provide sustainable housing to the billions of refugees fleeing the ongoing terrorist activities in the outer-rim territories.

>Corellian
>Is the most American cuisine you’ve ever seen

Addendum to this: if you ever see a “Corellian Salad” on a menu or are offered some from your host, just understand this: there are seemingly endless varieties of Corellian Salads, not one of which is actually what anyone would call a “salad”, not sure what one would call them… but certainly “salad” is not one that’d come to mind. Also, of all the varieties of Corellian Salads, a solid 75% of them you absolutely do not want.

>>97343023
I imagine Mando Cuisine is much like Slavic. Some combination of pig-meat, potatoes and onions in various combiantions. Food that is readily abundant and easy to grow and transport to a moving front line.

I like melee in every game I play. Like you said, this brew prefers guns (at least for PCs), so I know I'll have to compromise. The character I plan to make is a team leader who mixes melee with gunplay and support capabilities. In this brew, she'll be a Handgun T-Doll, with the Contact role, and Security Guard background, trading the overlapping aptitudes of Social and Willpower for Finesse and Weapon Skill. I wanted to make a Detective, but paradoxically, the Detective role is bad at being a detective, at least for the purposes of what I want to do. Remaining XP is then dumped into Melee Weapon Training, Parry, and a handful of social- or investigation-themed skills.
>what are the combat choices you enjoy making in GURPS and other systems listed?
One thing I always thought was cool was the ability to "analyze" an enemy for many rounds, before landing a single decisive counterattack that ends the combat in a single blow. That was possible with options like Evaluate, Riposte, Hit Locations, and Extra Effort or cinematic skills like Power Blow (which get bonuses for concentrating before use).
I also really like the many different mundane methods for characters to work together in combat. For instance, someone with the Tactics skill can beat an enemy leader in a Contest of Tactics at the start of combat, giving the team a free "surprise" round, or points that can be spent to reposition allies or reroll failed attack/defense rolls. Some perks or optional rules would allow Feints with noncombat skills (e.g., Sex Appeal vs Will) or to transfer the benefits of a Feint to an ally.

>a skill at the seemingly "competent" level of Trained (+0) results in about 30-40% successes
That's another problem. 30-40% chance of success for a "competent" character seems really really low. When I look through the rules, it seems like there are more ways to get bonuses to hit during combat than for bonuses to noncombat skills in peaceful situations, which feels backwards to me.
>Would you treat disarmament as such a thing?
Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me that Disarming should require a trait. I would be much happier if it gave a skill penalty to use untrained, then a Trait bought off the penalty.

>One thing I always thought was cool was the ability to "analyze" an enemy for many rounds
Yep, nothing similar to that and longer than a full action aim seems to be a default option in DH-related systems.
>I also really like the many different mundane methods for characters to work together in combat
Something similar might be found in the Inquisitor's Handbook for DH1E (and maybe in OW too), but it's not likely to be as much.
>When I look through the rules, it seems like there are more ways to get bonuses to hit during combat than for bonuses to noncombat skills in peaceful situations, which feels backwards to me.
Indeed, more effort was put into disassembling combat into separate modifiers than into disassembling non-combat activities the same way (as opposed to simply giving a range of total mods and telling the GM to pick).

Of the five the Labyrinth is the most interesting, but people on here hate it so your mileage may vary on that one.

Just don't buy control group, the idea is sound but execution is really bad, every scenario is really badly railroaded. Blacksat is such a huge piece of dog shit it really boggles the mind. Also, and this may have changed, but when I ran it back in the day Arc Dream didn't have *any* of the fucking pregen sheets up anywhere, so I had to pirate the book that I bought to avoid the headache of copying the fucking things. Arc Dream is Fucking terrible about PDF support.

Even CoC era Delta Green managed to integrate conspiracy from throughout the century; Greys/UFOS, Nazi Occultism, Satanism, Majestic-12, etc. The Labyrinth is solely focused on Fox News, Alex Jones type shit. It's barely a step above culture-war infatuation. Its boring.

There could be maker spaces around you, many libraries branch out nowadays.

Biggest advantage Rifts has is that there's lore aplenty. Heroes Unlimited, After the Bomb, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness are literally all crunch and no fluff, so if you've never built your own world before... good luck.

So TW(TM) stuff is lumpy, ornate, & has a bunch if gemstones glued to it so it looks like a weird maguffin weapon for a cheap scifi/fantasy movie made in the 80's

Military TW stuff looks functional & has some gold trim, tasteful gemstones in places youd expect like chest & helm, that give it a nice look, or else they're all attached on the inside where you cant see.

There's a subset of "steam/diesel/oldschoolpunk" TWs who make restorations with alm the gemstones & stuff hidden behind panels like the military TW stuff.

Then theres all the specialty case TW stuff that is either alien or whatever

>>97334923
Yes, I think that should be easier.

Shitposting would be saying it looks dogshit without providing any advice on how to actually improve it. I'll try to keep what you're saying in mind next time I get a chance to give feedback though because you brought up valid points.

I have a feeling your definition of "internal cammie politics" is going to be so broad that effectively everything that isn't cross-splat falls under it, but
1: You, or someone else in the coterie broke the Masquerade and now there's a mortal that knows what you are. How will you deal with that?
2: An independent ghoul has set his/her sights on you/someone in your coterie.
3: One night while feeding, you find a mortal that is immune to the kiss. What do?
4: Another vampire you know has become obsessed with the idea of becoming human again, and they keep trying to rope the coterie into their latest experiment in regaining their lost humanity.
5: You come across a young vampire, hiding out on the outskirts of town, that possesses a discipline that neither you, nor anyone you know, has ever seen before.
6: You're at one of your nightly haunts. Maybe you're looking for some blood, maybe you're just trying to enjoy a night on the town. But you see someone you knew in life. Someone you were very close with. What do you do?
7: Hunting down long-lost vampire lore
8: Basically any mundane crime you can think of is on the table for a vampire game
9: An ancient, traveling elder stops in your coterie's domain. They have seen much of human history with their own eyes. Are you able to coax that information out of them? Or must you suffer an immensely powerful and immensely entitled house guest?
10: Your ghoul has become pensive and withdrawn. Has the blood bond somehow begun to wane? Or have they simply become more jaded to their situation?

There 10 plot hooks/"things that you can do" that have nothing to do with internal politics, and I didn't even bother to mention the cheap shots of
11: Killing Setite goons

I think the twist will be that the snarl doesn't technically kill. Instead, it just stores its victims and worlds inside of its infinite tangle, preserving them for eternity. So my theory is that the story will end with the snarl being unraveled, and all the worlds it took being restored. (Effectively) unlimited worlds, enough space for everybody. IMO this will tie into the MitD too but that's a separate thing

>>97343598

You doing illustrations of different weapons and soldiers in your setting has inspired me to do the same, even though I mostly focus on space stuff, though I don't do it very often (This is the latest one I did, after someone asked me to complete a set of similar pictures for all the main factions of the setting).

What are some good resources for when you want to add an element of randomness to your world-building?

>>97343614
AD&D 2e's World Builder's Guidebook is very useful for fantasy settings. Diku (https://topps.diku.dk/torbenm/maps.msp) is good for planetary maps.

For future history/science fiction stuff, I've found far fewer sources. GURPS Space 4e has a detailed alien generator, which I turned into a Python program here: https://www.online-python.com/FcrCEyQbiw . Throne of Salt has some good tables for planet generation, particularly this one: https://throneofsalt.blogspot.com/2019/10/mothership-planet-generation.html . Sectors Without Number does the same using SWN's tables: https://sectorswithoutnumber.com/ . Traveller has lots of tables too, and this looks to be a web version of them: https://srd-tools.com/sector.html

>>97343823
People are fairly consistent in their closed-mindedness on adapting mechanics from video games to tabletop, but I think there's some validity in trying; at least, for the sake of some of the more simple ones.
I'm not saying go as far as calculations to the degree of Pokémon's damage formula, but systems like Fire Emblem or even Morrowind could be adapted to tabletop wholesale; both being essentially D% systems.

I have no experience with Red Faction specifically, but I recommend looking into statistics (especially probability theory) to see if anything can be carried over.

If your campaign involved blowing up buildings frequently enough that you can't just GM handwave it, then determining "Hitpoints" for buildings based on material, construction quality and such is perfectly doable.
But it adds another level of autism to the crunch, and lots of games are complex enough already.
Battletech had building destruction rules in Total Warfare, but they are fairly simple and abstracted so as to not bloat the already fairly crunchy mech fight centric ruleset.
