>>97250235I watched the stage adaptation for empusion, it was a bit too artsy to me, but the extreme misogyny and supernatural elements reminded me of From Hell, a comic that I really enjoyed. I got books of Jacob and drive your plough over the bones of the dead.>>97250306I know she is an odious shitlib, but I am willing to give her books a shot.

>>97250472I mostly read old books, currently going through the world history series written by Carl Grimberg. I think the last time I read a book written by a woman was when I read Savitri Devi. Man she was crazy.
>>97249468Not enough lizardmen figures out there...
Do you prefer systems with a strict class-based martial/caster division or classless systems that allow anyone to dip into anything at the cost of never being great at it?
>>97229027Garbage thread. pee pee poo poo, have a (you)
>>97251405Fair enough. But I'd rather design my own class/level system for the game I want to run than rely on a prebuilt system which doesn't work for the game I want to run. Classless systems are just easier for me to work with for that purpose. Class-based systems rarely explain the design philosophy behind their classes or give instructions on how to modify or build new classes.

>>97252169its hard to call it a similar ambush style, but yes it was AN ambush style. It's been a long time since I played 6th, but when you had a unit try to come on board you had to do a check of some kind, and if it failed you rolled the artillery die and the unit came on the board edge it pointed at. They had a fucking amazing ability in Raider though. I post it a lot, but god fucking damn do I miss it.
>>97252209Raiders essentially made a skirmishing unit have the benevit of standard rank and file? Neat.Also, how is the Doombull and minos in action? Likely going to invest.
>>97252218yeah, and it fit beastmen as a thematic feel wonderfully. Doombull and minos are incredible in combat. They're just straight better ogres, at the cost of being higher cost. Minotaur champions can win against many character choices in challenges, but not lords unless the minos are on the charge. Doombulls are close to vampire lord tier combat, but don't get mounts so they lose a lot of utility. If you want a unit that is both the hammer and the anvil, minos do it. They are just so expensive, and they're pretty easy to tarpit. I'd also say they are a bit too susceptible to cavalry, but at least they can fight back if they get charged.

This is a second OSRG, seperate from the main osrg thread, where you CAN talk about 2e, retroclones, and any osr content you want.This is different than the regular osrg as due to rampant trolling from a handful of bad actors, discussion is impossible.PREVIOUS THREAD>>97206318
>>97251080Alternatively make them semi-diegetic. Like hit points, but for heroism. Most heroes in stories have an unreasonable faith that things will work out OK. Hero Points make that true, and when they've run out it's that crisis of faith Empire Strikes Back time until the hero gets their shit together and earns more.
>>97251782Fun fact, most of that trope comes from wizardry.look at the OVA for the OG wizardry, its right there.>>97226914ive wanted spellcards for BX for such a long time. i love the idea of handing out cards that have the spell description on them.
>>97251782It is a step in that direction, but if it's the only place you are doing it probably wouldn't be hard to keep a lid on it.That being said, I don't implement anything like that at my table.
>>97251892>Fun fact, most of that trope comes from wizardry.Most of that trope comes from modern Isekai being based on MMORPGs.
>>97251782>Players now have a mechanical reason to play heroes who believe in something and have faith in the gods. They might even discussDamn, that sounds like a real problem.Unlike the fedoratheist who comes to a setting where the gods are provably real and goes "But I don't believe in them, lmao".Do your players discuss XP in character? Or their ability scores? Or do they instead say "He's a great hero and mighty of thew."?If the latter then they'll probably be perfectly fine with translating it into in-character with >'I'm favoured by Glibbglubb, Lady of the Dark Tempest, ever since I ate out that Mermaid High-Priestess to save the party.' >"...was the bottom half human or-" >'I don't want to talk about it.'
On the spectrum of rubber forehead aliens to complete starfish aliens that are made out of silica and breathe methane, where are YOU specificially comfortable with. Does there come a point where an alien becomes too weird for you to "relate" to in order to include them in your games as playable races?Personally I am fond of aliens that look plausibly like they could have evolved in a different world and have no distinguishable lineage to earth life, even if they share some superficial features.

I have wanted to play RPGs for years and posted on /tg/ for like a decade, but have never found someone to play with. Finally my kids are old enough to play with me, but the problem is, I don't know HOW to play. Like, what is a game supposed to even look like? All the rulebooks I've read go over in depth the character creation and mechanics, etc. but none really paint a picture of the structure and flow of the game and what it is supposed to look like. Where do I start??
Run Lost Mines easy start for 5e and simple for your kids
>>97249229Picrel, it's free with a fuckload of complemetary content available, also is extremely easy to grasp (it is losely based on moldvay's basic d&d which was layed out to be run by 10 years old kids).

Thread #02 Lean Winter on the TundraPrevious Thread: >>97090196Welcome to /un0/, an RP thread for playing a World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness Hunter. For any OOC questions about WoD/CofD, check the official general. >>97224887Rules:>We are acephale. There is no storyteller, we are not a quest.>This thread is based primarily but not exclusively in the nWoD/CofD game Hunter: the Vigil. However, Vigil is defined by being highly setting agnostic, with a system for creating entirely custom monsters that do not exist in other WoD/CofD games. Thus, you have significant freedom in what you want to play and what you want to hunt. Feel free to play a member of the Society of Leopold, or a member of the Lucifuge hot on the tail of a Lasombra.>Namefagging is encouraged but by no means mandatory.>Keep in mind that even highly experienced Hunters typically only have fractured pieces of the puzzle, and every table has their own canon. The night is dark and full of misinformation.>/un0/ is conceived of as an experimental end to end encrypted program that is very hard to compromise, retains very little data and purges that data regularly. Please play an actual Hunter.>Spoiler any OOC discussion.Happy hunting. Unless this thread somehow takes off like a rocket, this will be the last un0 thread for the foreseeable future. Towards the end of the thread, please give your feedback in regard to these shorter, limited run RP threads.
Back from the expedition & a little bit of personal Christmas vacation. Brief summary, details to follow.Everything went well. Turned out the gateway led into a kind of pocket realm/mirror of our world. We killed the spirit thing there. Turns out the lindwyrm was a guardian to some nasty shit, & had been slumbering & sealed in the lake cave since Vikings came to America (way earlier than you'd think) the thing we killed was trying to possess it & pump it full of magic to force it to change/grow so it could wreak havoc. Apparently the seals had been eroding. My new lindwyrm armor is a dream, almost didnt want to take it off after. It saved my life twice (& technically Sarge's too) everyone lived.Christmas was nice with the wife & kids.
>>97250451You can trap them in conversation, trap them in a contract, or trap them in iron. But they'll fuck you over faster than you can think if you arent 100%.The Rule of Three is a law of metaphysical reality. Creation is a Trinity/Triat/Tertiary Torus. Maiden Mother Crone, Past Present Future, etc. Divinity is Three, Nature is a Circle (zero-infinity), Man is Four, & Chaos is a spiral (666 is specifically a "corrupted divinity" as it is three spirals) Understanding God, & Jesus is Seven (4 Man +3 Divinity) The Pentangle is Magic is 5. It is the next step of man on our journey to divinity.Going back to Three, you need three points to triangulate. To pin them in. Etc. Its all very interesting but im not sure if you guys would be interested in a lesson on numerology & sorcery.
>>97251954What utility does Two give?
>>97252060Gender/Sex/Man&Woman, Duality, Disparity, Binary, Night /Day, Hot/Cold, for something to have identity it is One, for something to recognize itself there must be Two. Two also as mentioned represents a mating pair. Two divides, but by dividing also multiplies.
Might anyone be familiar with creatures capable of influencing emotion? Particularly feelings of tranquility, or ennui. I am finding myself concerned with how at peace I am feeling. >>97251920Great to hear everything worked out, especially your armor.

Previous thread: >>97111514GURPS 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?
>>97251013forgot pic>>97251049I don't like adding extra rolls, having to roll 3d6 and look a table after every roll sucks.I wish there was an online program to roll randeom hit location automatically. It would be real hand for shrapnel and shotguns.
>>97248100What sort of backwards bigots can say that inclusion is "too expensive?" SJG is a fucking chud company. Fucking performative allies. Fuck.
>>97251062I created a random hit location table with the perchance generatorI eyeballed the chances tho because it uses compound percentages and I'm not good at math. But if someone is good at math they can easily create their own version and just adjust the chances.https://perchance.org/ihwlr9hl1h
>>97251013>Only thing I'm iffy about when comparing melee combat and ranged combat is that with guns, you do nothing but aim for the vitals or torso, there's no reason to aim anywhere else outside of trying to avoid DR.I expect that if you ran melee where everyone was wielding cut/swing weapons against unarmoured normal humans, they would soon converge on a similar 'optimal' pattern of attacks. The issue is that melee weapons and dungeon fantasy enemies are far more diverse than those seen in modern-day mundane games.>there's no reason to aim anywhere else outside of trying to avoid DR.The good news is that you can easily mix things up by adding location DR. Not only does armour exist, but so does cover, and the torso is one of the locations which is easy to keep behind cover.>>97251013>-7 for the head is not worth considering the multiplier is just +1The extra -5 to knockdown & stun is nice for overpowered opponents, but for normal humans vitals is usually good enough. This is why almost everyone IRL aims for the 'centre of mass'.
>>97251013>you do nothing but aim for the vitalsI mean same thing in melee, especially because in melee you cannot be in cover to protect your body parts. At a high enough skill level, people will be aiming vitals and neck all day long. What you can do, is require an aim or evaluate action to be taken before you can target a specific location, and have random hit locations otherwise. This way, you delay the laser hesdshots by a turn and you can lose the benefits of you dodge out of the way.
