>>97194979>Having a blast though.
>>97194870No I'm talking about them treating it like a haunted house. They haven't actually practiced what they've been saying for years, that they can flicker the lights, make rooms lead to puzzles in order to escape, do a screamer when it's really quiet and dull for too long. None of that has happened at all yet? No one's told stories about getting trolled on the service side simulator?
>>97197378That was adam talking out of his ass and you know it, have you paid attention to last 10 years.
>>97197942>That was adam talking out of his ass >and you know itI don't know anything other than he's brought this very point up for years now but I have never actually heard of anyone being trolled in the haunted house.
>>97197378they have barely done anything with it aside from adding new models, by the looks of it its going to be in perpetual early access.
I've been on a space kick recently and want to run a sci-fi space campaign as the GM. What are the best systems for a flexible gaming experience without the autistic complexity of something like Shadowrun? I'm looking for a system that can run "magic" (Psionics, occultists, dark gods, etc) and high-tech weaponry and ships and stuff as well as madness mechanics mutations, cybernetics, horror elements, etc. Visiting weird planets, dealing with intergalactic politics, smuggling goods, assassinations, dealing with alien cultures, learning dangerous magic and technology, etc. I also want the players help make the setting so I'd prefer a flexible system that can handle a multitude of scenarios with cool aliens and stuff. I've heard of Traveler, Starfinder, etc, I just wanna know what system(s) I should focus on learning about first. I'd rather not run it in a Star Wars DnD conversion or Feelings and Lasers. This crowd usually plays DnD or very simple games but are open to other games too. Again I've tried Shadowrun and I'd rather a system that isn't over-complicated and just has the hacking take up 90% of the screentime.
I'd say Traveller or its free descendant Cepheus Engine. Bit light on the magic side though there are some attempts, including fantasy game descendants like Barbaric and Sword of Cepheus.Worlds Without Number is at least worth checking out for the world building advice and tables. It's more D&D which doesn't sound like you want though.
I'd normally suggest traveller but if you want insanity mechanics I don't think traveller does that. I've never played the 40k RPGs but I've played WHFRP and those have insanity mechanics. I think the 40k RPGs are just based on the same system and coke with insanity mechanics. Sounds like you should start there and homebrew the 40k lore out, make it your own setting using the Dark Heresy mechanics or something

I've spent the last few days trying to simulate Mass Combat aboard a Directional Titan with elder charms and exotic shit like shintais and SMA on both sides in my head and the more I read up on the charms and the rules the less I can make a proper analysis.

>>97188051>>97188043I like the idea that the Keep is actually the same one as the one in Mystara, a la the Hodgson story.
>>97183937I'm with you on most of that but inherently evil orcs don't make sense. Either they're humanoids, and thus have free will. Or they aren't.
>>97195370Don't get me started on California! It's not even an island, let alone an enchanted island, let alone the one visited by Esplandian!Seriously though, the Central Valley is between one and two of the Greyhawk map hexes wide. Calling the Sheldomar a valley is like calling France a valley, it makes no sense.

It doesn't have keyboard shortcuts for bolding text. Are there any free programs for setting up a book? I'm making a bestiary and I want a faded background but OpenOffice won't expand it past the margins. Scribus is fucking annoying. I might try Open Office Draw but that doesn't promise the best either. Any advice?

Welcome to /wbg/, the thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art. Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have, cunt!Last thread: >>96999149Worldbuilding links: Post someFantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator
>>97175667If the class name is clearly derived from another class, I'd make it a variant based on the same hull but some alterations to suit a slightly different role. Like if the lion-class is a general purpose "jack of all trades" design, the lioness-class could be built on the same hull but mount bigger guns at the expense of losing speed/acceleration, making it more of a battlecruiser, or do the opposite and increase the power of the engines at the cost of reduced firepower or armor.

>>97165495would
>>97195300Alright. Fair enough.
What races would fir a world is entering the early modernity and the world has gone through cycles of civilization, collapse, renaissance and progress? What fantasy races would fit in a setting with that sort of backstory and themes? I'm not sure if the standard elves, dwarves, halflings fit that world. They represent a world too static, unless they stay on the sidelines.

>>97198043NTA, but all the nafotards and retarded propaganda has soured me on the pro-ukrainian side. Not the poor Ukrainians, who have fought heroically and exceeded most expectations.

Sup /tg/, wanna talk about Slavic, Steppe, and Siberian myth in TTRPGs. There's so much cool shit, from Cornflower Wraith to Bolotnik to the Hungry Ghosts. But it feels like this stuff is barely explored. What are some good resources as reading for my setting?
>>97184950>The people who treat it as exotic stuff meanwhile have nothing to draw from, unless they can read Cyrillic.Cyrillic is not at all hard to read if you already know Latin (and vice versa). Both are derivatives of Greek, and neither have changed very much. Biggest hurdle is learning Russian or any other Slavic language if your mother's tongue is English, because it is substantially different.
/v/ related but play this game, Black Book is an amazing in depth dive on Komi-Perm folklore and myth. You play as a witch and its very hands on with the supernatural but it littered with information on Permian folklore made by people from there and it doesn't go into typical Russian folklore stereotypes. Indeed I am also fascinated by Siberia and its very hard to find someone doing justice to it. There is an aspect unfortunately that both due imperial Russia doing obvious colonization methods and urbanization and overwriting it with orthodox Christianity and then the Soviets being hostile to folkloric traditional practices, has erased a lot. It is redundant to say it, but Permians, Chuds, Komi, Nenets and other Uralic peoples are NOT ethnic Russians, they have their own language, they had their own religion and completely different pattern and way of life compared to the sedentary Slavs.
>>97184600Okay, NTA, but I’ll check that out, thanks.
>>97189445>Translation: BUMP!
>>97184510
>take soulless Primarishit model>insert classic Forge World MkIV SOVL>??????>PROFIT!And the best part is, because the precedent established by Games Workshop Group v. Chapterhouse Studio explicitly protects compatible third-party accessories, there is nothing GW can do about it but cry and exclude them from their subsidized events.
>>97190630Personally, I prefer Thunderhead's coffinmech but I don't own a printer so I can't do anything with the .STLs.
>>97190630Not a boxnaught/10. Sad.
>>97190784No, it's stupid when the board gets flooded with microtopics like this. You'd have a point if this thread were about, say, designs of space marine dreadnoughts in general, but OP is just talking about a single picture of a single model he saw.
>>97197271Your argument would have more merit if we hadn't just had exactly the sort of thread you claim is acceptable, and it resulted in the exact same "you missed the general" shitflinging from displaced Redditards that we see in every single standalone thread regardless of substance or merit. If a topic can sustain a discussion, it will sustain a discussion for however long that topic is of interest. We don't have karma, you can't upvote for popularity, literally the only mechanism by which a topic can be judged is its longevity in the catalog and "microtopics" like this one are every bit as valid as some creaking, bloated General thread that only serves to satisfy an autistic fixation on sorting that would be better served by going to literally any other website than 4chan.That's not a bug, it's a feature. 4chan is behaving exactly as intended when someone shares a picture of a model they like with an anecdote about it. I'm sorry that doesn't satisfy your refined sense of aesthetic value, but your Asperger's diagnosis is not my problem. Suck it up and hide the thread if it bothers you. Else, you know where you can go back to.
>>97190784Holy based>>97193023How do you know that
What makes a setting don't feel generic a.k.a. not DnD?
>>97197795As a tip, if you're going to samefag you need to not restate your arguments verbatim like that. It makes it painfully obvious you're the same guy.
>>97197828>turbo communistsThey're capitalist as fuck and share their wealth ONLY with their blood-related kin who are also dorfs, with any other races or foreigners they're TND. Look at how they behaved in The Hobbit, they risked the lives of everyone in a 100 mile radius for a chance at some gold and then fought to the death protecting their investment.
>>97191156Don't copy tolkein.
>>97191156A setting? Intense versimilitude in some aspect of the worldbuilding that is relevant to the players experience of the game. Like if you have at least one bit of the setting where you the author poured your autism and the players can directly interact with it and learn something new, it will stick. Doesn't make it good, but will make it pop out.
>>97191156That depends on what elements of a setting you find "generic". Some people might thing big witch woman with massive tits and classic witch hats is the most generic garbage ever, others in this very thread think it is innovative today. You might find the anime/manga Delicious in Dungeon the most generic thing ever or you might find it's takes on fantasy food, dungeons, adventures, and the various races to be cool and innovative. Basically it's what >>97191178 said, but it's have to be an idea that YOU and the PARTY find unique to the space. Since this thread loves talking about tits, I do like a big pair of tits, but personally if a property is leaning too much on sexuality I just assume it sucks ass and it tries to shove a bunch of sexy characters in your face to make up for being dogshit (ala gacha games) or will pretty much lack any substance besides sex, and in that case I'd rather just look at some porn and finish in 5-10 minutes and get on with my day than play a "generic gooner rpg" where all the girls have massive tits to make up for having the personality of cardboard. Likewise though, if there a complete and utter fear of sexual or dark topics at all, the game is gonna feel stilted and dishonest and "generic" when all the game has to offer is safe and clean fantasy troupes that people are sick of. Anons in here clearly are constantly exposed or choose to see the "stilted and sexless" generic fantasy and thus assume the sexy gooner fantasy is non-generic. However, somebody on say, tumblr for example, might want something sexless because all they ever see or choose to see characters with flat personalities and massive boobs and figure that THESE are generic and those that oppose this in favor of what they view as more story rich games are, in fact, not the generic ones. This isn't a political thing (it can be though) but it really just depends on what type of setting you personally see constantly and just don't like.
