Humbly requesting Original Adventures Reincarnated #7: The Dark Tower.
It's a three volume set including The Dark Tower og module, the 5E conversion and The Chosen Sons of Set. There's also a DCC version out there but I'm only requesting the 5E conversion that includes both the original module(s) and the 5E versions, not the DCC one.

A genuinely fantastic DM who puts ridiculous amounts of effort into running the game, even pre-Critical Role.

His DM style is very much about trying to paint an extremely broad picture of the world, while having every detail justified and backed up with information. Which has its shortcomings, but the aforementioned work put into the games more than makes up for it.
He also got a group of completely fresh players and was able to mold them to how he runs the game, which is a big reason their group works so well.

He seems very cool and talented IRL except for the fact that all the time he's spent with the major lib fags of the group (basically everyone but Travis/Laura) has turned him into a major cuck.

Regarding the show, it's sad that after campaign 2 they completely turned it into a product rather than just a fun game. Not that I blame them whatsoever considering the $ made

Trench Raiding With The Lads Edition

>What is Trench Crusade?
An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.

>What Trench Crusade is not
TC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.

>What's the QRD on the background?
The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.

GURPS 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: How often do you use an official GURPS setting? Which are your favorites?

The big one seems to be actually useful neural net 'AI' smart-tools (can effectively act as a cheap substitute for some human workers, significantly increase productivity of others, help stupid people act a bit less stupid). We're still struggling to actually get genuinely good content out of them, but that seems like what you would expect from the early form of such technology. Of course we could plateau tomorrow and never get them actually being any more than novelty toys for most people, but they seem like the most obviously transformative technology which has advanced a lot recently.
General purpose robot labour is another tech which seems to be on the verge of becoming useful. Goes hand-in-hand with 'AI'.
Drones are the current hot thing in warfare. They were big in TL 8 too, but TL 9 allows them to be much smaller and cheaper, operate on land as well as the air and water, and rely less on the controller. I expect fully autonomous combat robots will be the defining weapon of TL 9.
Directed energy weapons are being actually deployed for the first time.
Cheap(er) space launch might count, but it's not clear to me if it was possible at TL8 and we just didn't do it because the world's richest man at the time wasn't obsessed with rockets, or whether we genuinely needed some level of tech which couldn't be done before.
Useful fusion has long been the 'you know you are in TL9 when you see that' standard, but it's been a decade away for about five decades at this point and we've already got efficient nuclear power generation which we don't use because start-up costs are too high.
Bionics which interface with the user almost as well as real limbs and organs is another typical 'TL 9' tech in fiction. We're making significant advances in brain-computer interfaces, which will probably be the key element, but we're nowhere near seeing it every day yet (but this could roll-out fairly fast compared to fusion power plants).

>>97261992
In what context?
If you're talking about penalty to Guns skill for TL difference, the Alternate Guns Specialties article in Pyramid says to just ignore that and use familiarity instead.
>>
>>97261992
Officially, it's a flat -1 per TL difference (except for IQ based skills). Obviously this is a general rule which might not seem realistic in many cases. There's a huge difference between TL 5 guns and TL 6 ones, but very little between TL 6 and TL 8 (at least in terms of how you use them). On the other hand, TL 6 vehicles are often completely different to TL 8 ones.
If I was writing the rules, I'd probably not have weapon skills take TL penalties at all and simply rely on familiarity rules to make things difficult. Or reduce the TL penalty to -1 per 2 or 3 full TLs of difference.

It is damage 2. A lot of plasma weapons got a lot better against terminators because they got damage 2, and didn't have high enough strength to instant-death them before. Quite ironic, since plasma guns look so bad people think all plasma weapons are trash now.

After about 8 years since I last DM'ed a game, I've been asked to run a session.
Unfortunately my books - adnd, 2e, 3e, 3.5, 4e, and 5e are in storage two states away.
And i prefer physical copies. Thanks to critical role and the movie DND books have gone up in price which is weird.
>4e books are ~10-15$ now.

Is it viable to run 4e in 2025? I don't remember hating it and I still remember some home rules to streamline combat to speed it up a touch.

ALL of the Essentials classes fall off very hard past level 10 because of pausity of options.

I disagree, as someone who played Dark Sun in 2e and recognizes that it was built with a different mechanics paradigm in mind.
It was still ruthless on paper while instilling the fear of death in even high level pcs. Losing healing surges is the best and most efficient way to remind players of their pcs mortality, especially if they are cocksure, and it is really damn easy to do so in DS.
That said, it also offered a way to do real heroics and cleave to the 4e ethos of 'You are big damn heroes, and can do big damn heroic things'.
