Previous thread: >>97295718GURPS 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's the best classic GURPS cover art?
>>97377472depending on the nature of the game you want to do, I would either recommend reading:Low Tech + Martial ArtsorHigh Tech + Tactical Shooting
>>97377707I think i'll try to get familiar with the system first before going to more in-depth books. I'll use tech books for equipment, though.
>>97377880The low and high tech books are very good, probably the best and most useful besides Basic Set. There are some worthwhile home rules/alternate to consider though, and I always recommend looking into Martial Arts just for the much better bleeding rules and hit locations than Basic. Alternate GURPS has a few that are just better than basic, including the Alternate Gun skills, and a big recent one I'm fond of is using the DF slam table in place of the slam rules in basic. Those can all come later but keep them on your radar.
>>97377472Maybe be our GM? We are open for any kind of scenario. Kind of beginners ourselves.

For some time now, I've been developing my free game, an RPG/strategy interactive fiction simulator about a Dark Lord/Lady trying to conquer/destroy a fantasy world using intrigue, corruption, dark magic, and brutal military force.I have already sought and received your help several times, for which I am grateful.I am planning another major update, focusing primarily on the endgame. Players focused on direct conquest will have new ways to find loot—portals to crazy, Lovecraftian worlds, discovering new lands, and a magical slumber to wait for the rebirth of old enemies/the emergence of new ones (and seeing how the world changes in their absence). For players more interested in the less brutal side of world domination, the options for managing the territories of our empire will be expanded. Will you allow orcs to overrun Dark Elf cities? Will schools focus on training engineers for the army and economy, or on brainwashing them into blind obedience? Furthermore, I'm expanding the Dark Lord's interactions with other characters, including available romances. Of course, new content requires testing, and since, as usual, it's highly non-linear and dependent on player decisions (plus random generation), I can't test every combination myself.That's why I'm seeking the help of testers. Here is test version - no need for download, it is playable online in the browser, no need to register or download: https://adeptus7.itch.io/playtesting

>>97377578Old World Crowd seems to be more into the old path to glory where you make a chaos goon and slowly build a warband and mutate them over the campaign and try not to become a chaos spawn, different strokes.
>>97377854Border Town Burning did that with Mordheim. I guess you could just do that over again but with TOW references like Frydaal the Chainmaker and new Cathay and Chaos Marauder models.

>>97377612Who knows, if there was a function it any number of things could've changed since. Maybe it wasn't even 1/2/3/6" at one point and instead some specially designed distance set. Maybe there was an intention for there to be a standardized type of distance increase that would've been made more intuitive by it, like some rules could say "increase range by 1 stage" or something and that meant going up in colour. Maybe there were plans to make movement bonues add or subtract one shape of distance, and then using different shapes for a team's movement would have some interesting implications to how the team is affected by stuff like injuries (e.g. a team with 6x1 movement is affected less than a team with 3x2 movement, even though they both start off with 6").

Does anyone have that flow chart that shows cover vs conceal vs can't be targeted at all? I'm a brainlet and only play once a month. Anyways, here's my current project. Just have to paint up a grenadier, another assault marine, and the assault intercessor sergeant. I'm also thinking of swapping the grenade launcher guy's head out since I want him to look like Wesley Snipes' character in Demolition Man. But first I'm working on a Blooded team.
>>97369322>flow chart that shows cover vs concealjust google that and you find a few
>some kill team posts in /gwsg/ instead>thread is now even slower than usualAt least stick around long enough that I have somewhere to post about my game tomorrow.Also, balance update when? The state of DW/canoptek/wolf scouts is just so surprisingly bad. Especially canoptek, and that team could be nerfed without draining it of the things that make it fun.
>>97376936Probably dropping on the 28th if I had to guess
Does anyone play midhammer kill team? Particularly 4e?

>>97373986Agreed. Unfortunately it just never happens.

What's your theory for why all the talent is leaving Leder Games?What’s your worst/best board game break up story?
>>97377057What about muttering "you dick, I wanted that circlet"? Isn't that interaction?>>97377315Did you ever look at a picture of naked ladies when you should have been having sex? Or just Google something when you should have been consulting the elders of your village? Now who's misusing the technology, shitlord?
What are your favorite dice games? Dice as workers, custom dice, combat resolution... how do you like your dice?
>>97378143Purposely being obtuse just makes you look more regarded. Just say you're too poor or too dumb to play video games over the internet. Unscripted tools only, and only in some fringe scenarios mostly related to learning rules before buying a real copy to play with real people, or you're a fuckin loser. And it's okay to be a loser. The anon using it to play better in boardgame tournaments is another oneIm as hardcore a wargamer as they come and I still vassal before buying and if im on the pc Im playing grigsby or shadow empires. Theyre superior
>>97378322Any game where the dice is representative of a character in some way, almost like having miniatures. Usually that is worker placement where in something like stone age, or CofMidgard and seeing them all over the map. Or bagpulling characters but theyre dice is lovely too. I wanted to love dice masters for that reasons but what a shitshow that is
>>97378322I always roll like shit, so combat resolution is a no from me. Workers are number one in my book.
Have any of you ran your players through the Theater Kid Wood Chipper? How many of them tried to stick something in Acererak's mouth?
>>97377602>>97377787That being said, it should absolutely be obvious when the first person interacting with gets bodily sucked into the thing.
>>97375608I had a friend who wrote his own dungeon where the secret to open a door was for each party member to climb into 4 separate sarcophogi that you couldn't see into and instantly paralyzed you when you got into them. Everyone else at the table seemed to think it was a genius puzzle.
>>97377832A result that could also mean that it is a type of portal. Tomb of Horrors makes a point of having a bunch of different traps that look and act similarly but have vastly different results. It is a dungeon designed to test players not PCs and assumes that the players will metagame.
>>97378198I guess my wording was too vague. I mean, it should be immediately obvious that it isn't just a hole in the wall when the PC gets bodily sucked in. Yeah, it *could* be a portal, but I wouldn't immediately follow someone into a portal that sucks you into it, assuming that it'd probably lead some somewhere sketchy.I'm not saying it would be immediately obvious as a sphere of annihilation, just that most of the stories I read where "and then they all followed the first guy in and everyone died!" Make it sound like it's just climbing into a ventilation shaft or something.
>>97378275Part of the context often left out is that there is a "hint message" that can be discovered.>"Go back to the tormentor or through the arch, and the second great hall you’ll discover.>Shun green if you can, but night’s good color is for those of great valor.>If shades of red stand for blood the wise will not need sacrifice aught but a loop of magical metal — you’re well along your march.>Two pits along the way will be found to lead to a fortuitous fall, so check the wall.>These keys and those are most important of all, and beware of trembling hands and what will maul.>If you find the false you find the true and into the columned hall you’ll come, and there the throne that's key and keyed.>The iron men of visage grim do more than meets the viewers eye.>You’ve left and left and found my Tomb and now your soul will die.”This poem primes players to take risks around the color black with the phrase "night's good color is for those of great valor." This end up resulting in some players being brave by jumping into the black void one after another as they focus on one part of the poem while ignoring the "Shun green if you can" line.

>>97377234I only like natural animal people
>>97377444We got that too, just ask the guys working at the SPD. There isn't a vice we can't sell you.
>>97376506>>97376427>a ghost game should revolve around the fact that your character has died and everything has changed for them. How do they deal with this?Yeah that's what I want. You're dead, something's keeping you back. You're a memory and you're fading.Was your murder unsolved? Did you never get to finish a project? Did you die with any regrets? Something wrong in your household? If you're forgotten will you wander forever? Maybe you gotta haunt a place/person/object in the vain hope someone remembers you, or maybe that's just how you get your kicks, maybe it's retribution. Maybe a loved one is the only one who can see you. Maybe you don't notice you're dead and suddenly people are throwing out your things, moving into and building over your home,and pretending you're not even there. Maybe your will isn't being respected or your body wasn't properly buried/prayed to. Can you even remember who you are or were? Are some teenagers trying to capture you on video or play in the abandoned hospital you died in? Are the men in black showing up with proton rays and googles? Or is some charlatan waving around candles and rags to get in your way? What if he's not a charlatan? Sure there's a system, a bureaucracy, but it's crowded and contradictory. Where are the pearly gates? The scales of Anubis? The tide of Mictlan? The hound of Hades? Davy Jones' Locker? Maybe you'll have to work under the table with the others waiting to find out more of what goes on in the other side and why you are here I expect something like that more so than "you gotta get with the ghost gangs and fight in the ghost war while struggling with your evil headtwin and if you fuck up you get turned into a shoe">>97376966Kino >>97377226Solid idea for a mechanic too. I think also manifesting physically should be an advanced power based on your passion-meter.
>>97378485Murdered: Soul Suspect and the capcom game sort of already explored the unsolved murder from the POV of a ghost, but it could be interesting still to focus more on that. The problem though is it sort of ignores the big conspiracy and hidden societies approach that WoD has for all of its games.
>>97378691There's still plenty of room for big conspiracies and hidden societies, in a ghost game with a focus on being bound to the mortal world after death and unable to move on.
Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere. Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency. If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help: >n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0 >Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128 >Need a starter dungeon?

>>97376630Roads also cause a gameplay problem because travel on them is fast and not subject to getting lost, which means that they naturally attract pathing and keep parties from striking out into the wilderness in more interesting ways. As such, they should be kept to a minimum.Looking at your map I get the impression you're already basically doing this, but what tends to work best for D&D is if the setting is a post-catastrophic period when the land is severely depopulated and former thriving settlements have fallen to ruin, and/or were inhabited by inimical humanoids the whole time, so that the roads are gone and old castles, abbeys and even cities rich in artifacts lie abadoned and ripe for the plucking if they can only be found.Considering all this, Anon's suggestion that the only roads leading through most of the map be very occasional Roman or not!Roman roads that are so robust they survive centuries of neglect and are almost considered magical artifacts by the present population is very sound. In your case, for example, if you look up where Ermine Street and Watling Street ran, those would probably be good choices for where such roads might be drawn (and you could efface the roads during parts of their former extent, as well, forcing PCs to explore to find the next intact section and pick the route back up).
>>97376605>>97376625The sad truth of self-publishing on DTRPG is that there's tens of thousands of products over there, and most of them are crap. You need a better reason to look one up than "it claims to be for a system I'm interested in", or you'll spend weeks out of every year of your life reading crap.And frankly, the same applies to bringing one up over here. If you have something useful to say about it, thank you very much, share it. But if all the reason you have to discuss it is that it's just a random title that claims to be compatible with something, the overwhelming statistical probability is that it's crap.
Been working on my dungeon. Decided to make it orc-kobold-undead-kuotoa, so the players have even more factions to fuck around with. This is a sample. Thoughts on the formatting and ease of use?
>>97378009Looks okay. I'm not sure I would give away all those noises coming from other areas. Not sure how you mean to use them, but I'd place them in the rooms themselves, right at the top of each entry, for quick reference if somebody listens at the door.
>>97378009Also not sure why you refer to orcish as a "strange tongue". Chances are PCs will speak it, don't elves get orcish by default?
Is it better to have fully anthropomorphic beast people in your settings or just humans with like animal ears and tails?
>>97348829I think they were able to capture the spirit of them.
>>97330128There are permutations of beast people that are not furshit(argonians, skaven, etc.). Furries still like them, but, inherently, beastmen are a separate thing from furries.There are no permutations of humans with animal ears and tails that are not weebshit.
>>97347784Dog-headed people were just a thought experiment. It'd be like saying modern people have a fetish for trolleys.

>>97376702>>97377906>Anon looks at you with a lightly pained smile, like a mother would, as if to tell a scared child 'Everything is going to be okay' but not wishing to give it false hope by telling a lie.There's always 2020 books. They'll always be there for you.>>97377738Kinda makes you wonder what they're up to over there. I guess if it keeps the lights on but they have no higher aspirations it'd make sense to keep the family employed through pet projects that they then monetise, but even if you are an enlightened post-scarcity future-being with no need for cash in hand; there's still an audience craving more Cyberpunk. If the volume was higher I don't think anyone would complain individual pages were bad, but when you get 1 book per 3 years, of course every single sentence will be scrutinised like they're the bible.Oh well, at least they're having fun writing their dinosaur game.
>>97377738I figured they canned that long ago but weren't transparent about it.
>world's first 100% vibes based tabletop setting
>>97374025It's a lot harder for the autistic to hide their power level online such as over discord discussion where the problems that started the purge happened. That said, they completely fucked up their response in any way that would have resulted in something other than total chud exodus (over a third of the players and possibly over half of the interested market)
>>97378154Thats something lefties and shitlibs fail to understand. Overtly political miniature wargaming never sells. This isnt the tabletop rpg market its full of dads and neckbeards arguing about who would win ww2 if xyz happened.
>>97378154That's fake news actually. Leftist products always fail. Go woke go broke is a phenomenon observed in reality for a reason. The first man brave enough to create a right leaning game is gonna make boat loads of money, but it will make them the eternal enemy of mainstream society and the Jews, it's apractically suicidal decision
>>97378420Have you bought your copy of ReconQuest yet?
>>97378320>>97378420Leftist products that abandon all subtlety fail yeah, but the more palatable left-leaning products get tons of investment from gay capital like blackrock. Yeah though, a right-wing product outright will be social suicide, even more if it fails. The KCD guy basically just wore a trad mask for marketing and went full off after, I'm assuming to get more investors.
