not sure if you mean purely models or lore, but the Ahriman novels have a ton of tzeentchian bureaucrats in the administratum, Wrath of Magnus had a lot of cultists and the changeling etc and in the heresy there's a lot of cult shenanigans including the changeling and the Prospero Burns character. You probably aren't wrong though, I wonder if it is because 'magic' is less appealling a topic in science fiction as it is in fantasy?

Previous thread: >>97111514

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?

Harry Potter is just standard Magic where magery has a gadget limitation for wands.
>>
>>97222145
True. I mentioned it because it was the first 'manaless' system that came to mind.
>>97222175
The spellcasting speed is about right, as well as the piecemeal nature of spells, but wizards doesn't seem limited by FP/EP and learning individual spells seems very easy, children learned Wingardium Leviosa in a single class.
>>
>>97222175
>>97222185
Also Wizards can cast spells without wand, it's just easier to do so.
Under standard magic system, I guess wands could be several levels of gadget Magery. Having it increases skill levels with all spells by a large margin, so even dabblers can cast spells but to do so without it a wizard needs to study the spell a lot.
I guess it could explain why not even very talented mages like Dumbledore and Voldemort bothers with wandless magic.

Dark Eldar Raiders, there are only a couple of pages in Armada. There were some pretty beefy errata on their points values, rules, and gear, especially in the 2010 rules review.
>>
>>97222099
It was a pretty contentious time from memory. Eldar were rightly hated for their usual cheating bullshit which in this case was free column shift. And Necrons were disliked since they had some bullshit as well where if you weren't forcing them to Brace for Impact every turn you basically lost.

The critical part about Necrons isn't the damage immunity, although that's annoying as shit. It's their ability to auto-disengage after inflicting a few losses and win without really playing at all. Likewise the Eldar Move-shoot-move haha you can't touch me thing got them much more flak than holofields, which is why nobody really hated on the DE. Holofields are just a check that keeps people from loading up on lances and ordnance all day, every day, and generally the Eldar column shift is mostly compensated for by their tiny batteries and absurd prices. I never had serious problems dealing with Eldar, especially in a campaign.

thanks a lot! any other games you would recommend for solo play?
>>
>>97221074
Think I've already given you enough recommendations for a few dozen hours of play but oh well. For solo make sure to stay away from Card-Driven games. And again chit pull is your friend, after Reds you could play more Ted Raicer games like The Dark Sands. Ambon Burning Sun might be another good one, with the invasion mechanic you're not controlling enormous unwieldy forces which you struggle to forget which counters have moved, it's self-contained beach heads.
Non-hex games I've recently enjoyed are Operation Bollebank and Habsburg Eclipse, which are dedicated solo only.
I see that you are in a terrible timezone so I'm not going to offer any multiplayer with you but maybe someone else in this thread or in /bgg/ might.

>Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk RED?
Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that focuses on simulation gameplay and has a black trenchcoat aesthetic.

Cyberpunk RED is the fourth edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that is set after Cyberpunk 2020 following the Fourth Corporate War, focuses on more balanced gameplay and is more streamlined but has less content.

You can discuss Shadowrun here too because I also feel bad for those guys.

Okay cool. I'll avoid and look for something else or wait for that Anarchy 2.0 to come out. Preview looked decent.

Also off topic, but why do designers have a hard on for rules lite "narrative" style games these days? Why is there such a big push to reinvent the wheel instead of just reiterating and improving on what previously worked.

Gobbet, my beloved.
>>
>>97221975
There's this idea that there's a barrier to popularity in complexity; and that the simpler a game is the more money it's going to make. Not only is this completely wrong, they're often stupidly tearing out most of the interesting systems and mechanics and leaving behind dull ones because they weren't complicated.

RED thankfully didn't make this mistake, not entirely. It's simpler, but there's plenty going on to keep people interested without also being in modifier hell (though I feel a lot of GMs I've played with are terrified of applying circumstantial modifiers, so it's whatever). There are other flaws in the system, but the bones are good and you can build it up where it needs bulk.
>>
>>97222039
tbf Red does try it's hand at more narrative style gameplay. Rockerboy and Media have very wishy washy abilities open to interpretation.

Also Red does try to limit crunch by making the combat and character building very simple.

Hard to say without having them together. Might need some putty work to get everything together, but if the scale works together, I don't see why not. Not a huge fan of them though. They kind just look like they're about to go for a bike ride.
>>
>>97221822
I know they didn't tell you this, but. If you root around for a bit in the past threads and know the PDF sharethread customs, there's a trove of all the rules for KDM. You can find readily-available recasts as well as 3DP proxies/scans elsewhere for a lot cheaper than plastic.
That said there's not much else that does the highly-tactical PvE boss fights and freaky monsters thing you seem to be looking for. Sadly. You could try to scrounge up the official Dark Souls board game. Or hit up /3DPG/ for information on STLs inspired by stuff like Blasphemous and Souls. Be aware that they're pretty fucking cancerous.

yes while I was waiting I was already searching for printnplay kits for KDM (one would think that there should be some), but seems like I'm going to make it from scratch

I think the biggest issue with the game retaining players is how harsh the transition from thinking you've almost won games into realizing that getting your opponent to 1 hp while he has 5 cards wasn't close at all.

Unfortunately so. That only bothers me because some have really good art that I wish were in paper. Mechanics are whatever because DMP is technically a different game with different rules.
That said, they have brought over some DMP exclusive cards to paper with the DMPCD products (last one in 2023)

I saw that, it's mixed feelings mostly just depending on the card. I don't mind for the vast majority but it usually boils down to like one or two I hyper fixate on. Gives a good opportunity to try shit out without harming the mainline product.
