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.
>>97242177Well, sure, via sufficiently advanced genetic engineering modifying humans into all kinds of exotic "aliens" would be pretty trivial but would they really be aliens at that point? You could of course do the whole ancient precursors or even past human empire that has collapsed etc type of justification being the reason why galaxy is filled with what are essentially modified humans, but that begs the question of "are these even aliens?" again.
>>97242473Think of it this way: if you need a GSB, almost surely you could justify it via genetic engeneering (even with advanced furfaggotry and such) plus ancient aliens doing their usual bullshit as needed. Maybe some wetware implants.I mean, it's cheap, but so are GSBs. If you want something more or less interesting, I suppose you could go full autistic and ask yourself why there is a whole ethnicity (if that's the right word) of humans with funny noses or whatever.
>>97241451Kinonid
>>97242244While true, they also do it because it's a cheap way of conveying an idea or a specific kind of character trait to communicate the idea of the story.Star Trek is specifically guilty of this although it can be said that at least the Ferengi got a massive glow up from being slinking monkey dudes with bulbous foreheads and dragon dildo laser whips to a respectable race who represent old world capitalism in a post scarcity "we don't use money" world.
>>97240164What are some good resources for creating alien species? Or sapient races in general?
Would love to share some YTers I like to use for inspiration. Looking for anyone you find helpful. Preferably smaller creators and not restricted to 5e. I’ll submit three that I really enjoy while I’m doing prepFirst I’ll submit is Desk and Dorks. The channel is made by a medieval historian and combines his knowledge of subjects to enhance games. I particularly like his take on Bronze Age fantasy and building better town guards
>>97232981>Chekhov’s gun just makes foreshadowing more obviousThat's not a bad thing
Steven Lumpkin, if general chat/advice and online actual plays are your thing:https://www.youtube.com/silent0sirishe's like that Adam Koebel guy if he was normal.
>>97225250Notepad anon because he talks about lots of games and makes some retards on this board seethe with incoherent rage.
>>97242649What is the consensus on this guy? I liked his opinions on Shadowdark and Mork Borg
>>97242691Since he doesn't play any of the games he reviews, he mostly has surface level opinions. Given the nature of TTRPGs, expecting a lengthy, in-depth dissection of the complete mechanics is kinda silly though.
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?
>classesbro is posting from 1975 LOL
>>97239948Ok, I'm actually curious if there's a script that cuts posts that mention Candlejack in half or is it just anons' collective joke.
>>97241356It's a memetic reference to a joke used in the 90s cartoon Freakazoid that predict a lot about how things turned out on the internet.

>>97205958Time to make a new kill team community fren.
>>97218557Unfortunately I don't got much to share at the moment aside from just doing lore and modeling my Zombie missions have the most work, with infection mechanics, breaking the ritual, extraction based missions, or if all goes to hell then it's stand the line or asset denial styled missions with unique scatter terrain like corpse piles, altars, or bodybags. I'm trying to get nice special infected zombies that don't look like nurgle demons, but it's not easy.

I got a warcry box set for christmas and I'm thinking of basing the terrain off somewhere besides Ghur. So far I'm thinking a swampy section of Ghyran or Ulgu, since the meat trees remind me a bit of willows. What do you guys think?
Man, the post office losing my shipment of new Gitz combined with the recent point increases putting me over 2k with what I have planned has really dulled my enthusiasm to keep painting the ones I've already started on. Not the end of the world, but painting is time consuming and slow, and now I don't have new minis to look forward to at the end of this batch.
>>97241990Everyone knows the core rules of 4th are better (aka they just refined the stupidity out of 3rd and ripped off the Magic stack concept).People were willing to go with the bland as fuck indices until we got the first books and realized that all the flavor had been scrubbed out (essentially that the shit d3 was what they thought we wanted instead of a stop gap).
>>97242807Ghryan is the safe option if you want to go ulgu you will have to be clever with it
>>97242841All I have with Ulgu is "make it wet", so probably a lot of blues and grays and glossy bits to look like water. It is true that Ghyran is cheasy peasy, but it's not like I'm on a time limit, I can take my time figuring it out.

>>97242640>>97242632>>97242602Like I've said in the past, I do love how you can get it to give massive clothing differences all with the same seed if you use the proper wording. Sugar Snaps never gets the same outfit and it's great.This is a highly detailed Boris vallejo illustration in the cyberpunk art style. The primary focus is on an orc sitting in a fancy living room with digital holographic fire in fire place.The primary character is a tough looking, dark green skinned, orc woman. She has bubble gum pink well groomed finger nails, bright bubble gum pink lipstick, light green mascara, yellow eyes, small fangs visible outside her lips, and has beautiful blonde healthy hair in a poofy elegant hair style. She has large gold lightning bolt shaped earrings, silver choker necklace, hair bands made of obsidian shaped like thunder clouds, and is wearing a fashionable Christmas sweater vest with short wool knit skirt. She is wearing festive panty hose and barefoot. She is leaning her back on a comfortable cloth couch blowing a kiss. On her wrist is a large digital computer screen made of silver with a large sapphire display.The background is a digital wall display christmas tree with dancing holographic fairies and snowflakes. On the ground is a tiny smoking robot broken into pieces. She has yellow lightning dancing on the end of her fingertips. There are scorch marks on the carpet.The overall atmosphere is cheery, relaxed, and calm oriented.
>>97242602damn those are some great gens. the pose specifically, too. ill have to mess around with the same seed to see what changes in the prompt actually effect the gen. still trying to find a good style to use.
Have you ever roleplayed a female character?
>>97239515>it requires non-retard IQRetards are incapable of playing women? Is this some "I worship the divine feminine" bullshit?
>>97240917It's just a sexual fetish
>>97241926You apply affirmative action to your fantasy? Good for you
>>97234702Does a magical parasite that took over the body of a wizard count?I was basically just helping my friend play an NPC that would betray the party and be a more interactive boss fight.The wizard was technically a half elvish female, but the brain slug never cared about such trivialities, part of the fun about being a parasite was being weird and off putting to see if anyone caught on.Only time I even bothered with a female and I technically was playing something else entirely.
>>97242165>Does a magical parasite that took over the body of a wizard count?Yes. Gay is gay. There's no excuse.
Previously: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96936967/When last we met, we made G.E.T.S. (Generally Entertaining Team-built System). Thus far, it seems to be a fairly minimalist system.Now, we shall make our first setting for this system.If your proposed idea gets doubles, it is canonized. Any canon characters, worldbuilding, themes, et cetera can be modified (but not outright contradicted or discarded) by triples, quadruples, et cetera.Let us continue.
Each type of angel has a certain unbreakable law they must follow
Since angels are typically messengers, they have an advanced postal service.
>>97238155We finally have another one.
>>97238155>>97240359It was a good winnerAnyway the game takes place on a planet that will one day hold real sentient life but is currently filled with evil mushrooms (Which were not created by god. They just spawned naturally. Creepy)
Angels spawn from the sun and to the sun they shall return.

This thread is all about solo games and campaigns. Midnight reading edition.>old thread >>96761554Resources: https://rentry.org/srpgghttps://infinityweavers.link/re-up/solo-rp-toolkitMore threads:https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/search/subject/%2Fsrpgg%2F/Thread Questions: How do you try to surprise yourself in solo games?
>>97241272I do things like that, or if the room description piques my interest I'll work out something with that. like sometimes it says something about "torches flickering" or wahtever, I'll do an oracle roll to see if they're torches I can swipe or whatever. tapestries, I can try to pull them down on the enemy to encumber them. just going outside the core gameplay loop
>>97237792>>97237899RIP in pieces
I feel sort of lost with solo rpgs. I just moved to a new residence that is far more stable and solitary but I don't have much room and I didn't bring any rpg systems with me. I did bring dice though. I'm just not really sure how I actually want to play solo and so it's kind of tough.
>>97242605thats how I felt a little bit ago, hadn't had any success getting anything going. Started clean with retro sci-fi rules by zozer, rolled up 2 characters, two paragraphs of a planet, and started rolling a patron and job and using the mission resolution from the rules. two nights later they're framed for a murder and embroiled in a conspiracy to put the planet under martial law. I need to flesh out a few things in the world before I go farther but its been a blast
>>97242753Do you really need a ruleset for Solo RP? Or can you basically just journal with dice? I mean I guess fundamentally there's no rules but you know what I mean.
What'd you get for Christmas /tg/? Picrel was under my tree :)

>>97242567Don’t you worry, there are ample of both in the other 150+ zombies pirates.Actually pulling them out has reminded me I should use them. So expect a battle of ‘tomb kings’ vs something as soon as I can rustle up an opponent.

Karak Eight Peaks is a good example of how rancidly ass the writing in Warhammer is.>hyperadvanced super strong rich dwarf province fell apart and got wiped out by goblins>dwarfs fail miserably trying to retake it because uhhhhhh lol goblins are so le random and funny>army of retards who are hilarious (painfully unfunny) cockney parodies are stronger, smarter and better in battle than the dwarfs ever could be because uhhhh le epic subversion of expectations i guessPisses me off to no end how pathetic and useless Warhammer Dwarfs are written to be, it's like anti-plot-armor.
Remember this? what happened. It was supposed to be the next big thing, but all of a sudden I only hear about Lorcana and One Piece.
>>97242821It was an NFT scam and the actual rules of the game were fucking retarded and encouraged a lot of dumb shit>If you have a ball of tinfoil, are wearing a blue t-shirt, and have your shoes on the wrong feet, and also it's raining, you do a million damageThere was supposedly some kind of attempt at a real tournament scene with huge prizes, but I don't think any of those actually happened, and the whole thing reeked of cryptofag money laundering.
Why the FUCK is his power armor broken? The Badab War was 100 years ago. This dude leads a legion-sized band of space marine pirates and is one of the wealthiest and most powerful space marine lords in the setting, on par with chapter masters of the first founding chapters.WHY THE FUCK WOULD SOMEONE NOT HAVE FIXED HIS POWER ARMOR. Does GW even know their own fucking setting anymore?
>>97242294He only ever had termie armor during the Badab War. And his armor is like the ones found in the kit for Havocs.
mogged by this kitbash they posted a while back
>>97242326The blurb implies the armor he's currently wearing was damaged by the melta blast he caught during the final action of said Badab war.
