Grinding out wins, watching Star Trek TNG reruns. It doesn't get any better than this

>>97310607>>I think he should let us return to base to pick it up but he says it would mess up the "story rhythm"Serves you right for 'playing' (i.e. story-listening) a story game. Next time play an old-school game where player agency is king.
>>97310607The GM told you AS THE COMMANDER, NOT THE GM that the mission was routine and you're essentially butthurt that the character he was playing is not omniscient. He even asked you out of character if that's really what you wanted to do, really hinting that you shouldn't.
>>97314156>GM character says I won't die>My character ends up dying>Why does GM hate me?

This is going to be the Amazon TV show cast isn't it. With ego poseur boy Cavill as Titus.Why does every posthuman psychoconditioned meat slab Space Marine suddenly need a sassy female assistant all of a sudden too?
>>97306250>People unironically thought it would be anything other than ultramarines
>>97311204this just isnt true
>>97301678I'm still holding out hope the Warhammer series will be an Eisenhorn adaption. It's the series most suited to a movie/TV series from them.
>>97307306Space Marines are canonically impotent.
>>97313889Yes it's true.
Out on Patrol Edition>What is this?/TG/ DEVELOPED A GAMEIT IS PLAYABLE. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED.EXPEDITION is a ~1880s era, Jules Verne-inspired retro-futurist, underground blood soaked adventurescape.It is a Skirmish wargame. Two players with their own expeditions, on a hexgrid map, explore & fight each other for victory and profit.3 versions of the rules exist, 2 of which have been playtested.

>>97307740No argument here. The British did use an armored train during the Anglo-Egyptian war but that's already what directly inspires a lot of the traction engine (Also the Steam Sappers of one of the Ashante Expeditions) so giving them another armored vehicle would be redundant.
>>97307740>>97309631Alright, if I keep it in the USA book, should I make it something where the carts you get are random (with perhaps, some options keyed in, for example the military one could be Federal Leader only...), or where you purchase each one? I'm thinking of putting a Valuable (x) rule on some Carts, like the Deepfolk's buildings, and you would score a percentage (or multiple) of that amount if you manage to get that Cart off the map on the 3rd, 4th, 5th turn for example.
>>97314126My vote would be for random if you want to use them for economy (maybe doing that thing where you get positive silver as long as they stay alive like with the Investor) but with the option to buy specific ones as normal units if you just want troop transport ability or other such
What do you think of it? It's basically Fallout with furries (Kipo didn't have robots or guns).
>>97308900Ask the Desert Rangers or the Brotherhood of Steel.
>>97307398>>97308277Hey, it's my experience too. A lot of fond memories bound up in it, but in the end, playing it means using the Palladium ruleset, and that's just a clunky piece of crap.
>>97307188I always wondered how would Fallout's own mutants fit here. Like what would the anti-human mutants' attitudes towards ghouls and super mutants? Would the NCR be friendly towards talking animal people?
>>973071881st edition more enjoyable to read, much shorter, and had better art. https://litter.catbox.moe/oz4athwj2o6yoqrg.pdf
>>97309263Ranger: keep to themselves, maybe open relationships with friendly mutants, make clear to all the others humanity is here to stay but not in a fascistic manner.Brotherhood: just like in canon, except even more vindicated because most mutants aren't human at all, but they have to be careful because heavy weapons are common and I doubt power armor can survive being crumpled by a mace-wielding elephant man.

>>97309329Everyone made fun of this premise back then and now it's true. Same as team yankee boxes with abrams and bradleys vs bmps and t80 actually becoming historically acurate sets. What a time to be alive.
>>97313500Maybe force on force in 15mm when the new edition comes out.
>>97313500>doesn't even mention the best ultra modern ruleset, Asymmetric Warfare On another note, I've never played Fistful of TOWs so I can't speak towards the mechanics, but I always impressed with how long and dense it is. That rulebook is the size of a university textbook, it's insane.
>>97313662>Asymmetric WarfareIs it playable in 15mm? Can you share it?
>>97310653The British can defend Greenland as they did in the Falklands against americans.They can burn down the White House with their Canadian subjects as they have done before.

>>97309579If you just want a loose structure for making shit up then Tricube Tales might be good. It's very simple and there are a lot of free splats including a solo procedure and tables on drive-thru (samples are complete).
>>97309579Tricube Tales like the other Anon said.Freeform Universal, or the Loner hack for it.Or like I said here >>97264219 Miso RPG or Desired Scenes.
>>97310686I meant to watch it this morning, but I had appointments switched around and only just finished watching it a few minutes ago.The inclusion of a vicious Pomeranian made me chuckle.Mork Borg is super swingy in my experience, but I don't hate that about it. It let's you have funny moments of High/Low rolls that can change your fate completely. I like it because it isn't super tightly balanced, it's just fun.
Are there solo tools for generating a hook to start an adventure?
>>97311956Yeah, I feel the same way about the game. I wish its fanbase wasn't so shit, otherwise I think it would crack the fuck off here.
Is there any way I can incorporate my fetish in my fantasy world without it becoming a magical realm?
>>97288951>>97289981>>97296113>>97309130>>97311078Anon, I expect better out of you. It's not good to tempt struggling-sadists into taking pleasure in the suffering of another. And have some reservation, most people don't come here to look at fetish content, they come here for traditional games.
>>97288951>is there any way I can do the literal definition of magical realm without it being a magical realm
>>97288951no. dont be a wizz-ard.
>>97302595My fetish is futa/traps, and there's a whole lot of feminine penis floating around these days, while footfags continually disgust everyone they come into contact with, so I think my side is wining.
>>97288951I am once again asking you to kill yourself.
White Wolf died. But where's the replacements? DnD has hundreds of clones. But where are all the vampire/mage/werewolf clones? Is because DnD is more generic and easier to copy?
>>97313137What the fuck are you talking about, anon? There's not one post ITT telling anyone to play DnD.
>>97314203the whole thread is just schizo complainbait hide and report
>>97311833I'm not balding
>>97311197There’s not the same kind of competitor to WoTC that once existed no. The ttrpg space has changed a lot though. Politics have changed a lot. But what WoD offered was a game focused more on storytelling than action and number crunching. There are plenty of games like that. Some of which can involve vampires or whatever the fuck. Onyx path still exists and they’re essentially White Wolf but the popularity has waned as far as I can tell. There’s some weird stuff with Paradox involved in the copyrights.Personally I tried to get a group together for Werewolf. I did what the people on here said to do with my 5e group. I said we either play Werewolf or nothing. They chose to have a BG3 night instead. Which I skipped because I’ve played more than enough of that game. The group is getting back together for an Eberron game DM’d by someone else. I got them to try Genesis at least. People just don’t seem to care about WoD anymore, not sure why.
>>97311197It's the same thing with the fucking "why isn't there an osr for 3rd edition" thread. You can get these books! They aren't hard to find. You can get a physical copy of v20 for relatively cheap if you're fine with black and white, and that book has fucking EVERYTHING in it. If people want to play WoD, they are drowning in options.

Tip of the day:-- press F on your keyboard when you are playing on chesscom
>>97303152other games sped up the opening without resorting to special moves like two pawn moves, en passant, and castling. I like the setup for Makruk for instance, with all pawns forward one rank.

>>97291305She's cute.
I have some questions and a premise for a thread. > 1. What is the best system to run a one-shot campaign emulating the story of No Country For Old Men in a way that captures the "FUN" of the movie?>2. If you could make a system for this one-shot to be played from, what would you put into that is notable?>3. What other scenarios would be interesting to play in this style?Having divergences in the story would obviously be critical, like if Moss had actually killed Anton, for it to be fun, but other than just plain ole' rolling dice how would a game where an individual plays as Anton Chigurh, another plays as Lewellyn Moss, another plays as Carson/The Sheriff, etc etc work?
>>97314127Explain it
>>97314128Another anon(s) had the idea, >>97311751>>97311705
>>97314150It would work, but only if you wanted to have a Chigurh style villain. Players would also eventually memorize the cards, although its not like anyone would realistically play this game enough for that to happen. Youd want it to be a pretty thick deck either way.
just make a 'villain' that is a thinly disguised DMPC and make sure to railroad your players so they can't ever kill him and you're good
>>97314230I'd want a player(s) to play the villain(s) and the DM to be The Hand Of God or Vague Nihilism.
I think the next revival movement in a sinilar vein to the OSR is going to be 3rd edition focussed. I think that granular, complex build focussed market isnt really served by 5e or pathfinder truly, and theres empty space in the market/community.
>>97311025Make elves + orcs stronger but give them 2~3 racial HD. That way you can't start as an elf from lv1... though you can be a half-elf or half-orc, giving those races a clearer niche.
>>97310579>things escalated from purple eyes and heterochromatic eyes to dragonborn tortles, and then grew fresh cancer in the form of non-binary sparkle tieflings>>97311025>the irony is the more you make freakshit the default, the less special it becomes, anyway. 5E PHB has Drow and Tieflings alongside Elves and Dwarfs.Tieflings are core rulebook playable at LA +1 (granted, in the Monster Manual rather than PHB, but given the OTHER shit that gets LA in there...), and actually go back to the TSR days. Which had much weirder shit treated as "normal" races in the supplements than 3.X ever dared to, like slime-people who's personalities come from the corpses they grew in. The enby sparkle tieflings are from a change in the surrounding culture's treatment of things, not any accretion of options, having previously been the mainstay of lazy "edgy" characters.>>97311704I can see it for orcs to pack more beatstick than half-orcs in a less-crippling fashion than the massive mental ability score penalties or LA, but the diegetic framework of elves being better is pretty overwhelmingly about their lifespans translating to higher average levels.
>>972994333.x is awfully restrictive in its skill and feat systems and I wouldn't want to go back to it.
I feel like if someone really wants to do a 3SR, they shouldn't try to write a new core book. They should make adventures that try to work with the strengths of the game.Because of PF and the SRD, you don't need to retroclone the core rules like the OSR guys did for out of print material. What the OSR did really well and why I'm still fond of it was focus on making good modules that a DM could drop in.
>>97314234You're the fifth or sixth person to point that out in this thread, but no one wants to engage in that fact because they want to buy something. Or argue about Prowlers and Paragons, I guess.
