I literally cannot imagine roleplaying a character who is not literally me. Or an aspect of me

>>97256921Doesn't that look like a flooring inspector?
>>97256921Yes. Mostly wizards and barbarians, or really weeaboo monks.
How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?

Im out of my depth hereTL;DR Im trying to learn how to run a setting I have no experience with. Looking for setting influence. -I would like some help with this concept, post apocalyptic science fantasy. The idea that the world was propelled forward by magic tremendously, but then cataclysmic events reset civilization, and now were living in the post era. Im used to running Sci-Fi, Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, Lancer, but this new group has requested me to run fantasy for them. I agreed, but I told them I wanted to draw from influences that im familiar with, the closest comparison I can think of is the Televison Show Adventure Time where there was technology and then a fall, and now we have magic and some science tech. Disparate cities and no main governing body. -So, im looking to add to my influence, are there any pre existing settings ? Are there any fun things you've ever wanted to do along these lines ?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Never make it easy, because people respect you if everything you do requires an octogram sketched two meters wide, a surfeit of dribbly candles, five minutes of chanting and swaying, and a ram's skull.

>>97260968Never heard of Strike! But im so glad that I can get even more reading material to work off of. Anything besides making me run god darned 5e again.
>>97261147it's a difficult game to run. I am glad I know a guy who can hold most of a century of european history and politics in his head to the level of granularity required to run a long-term campaign, adapting what happens in response to both the setting's own magical bullshit and the multiple player groups going at the same time in his campaigns.It's hard not to fall in love with it despite and sometimes because of its jank. There are two kinds of roll - normal and stress. Stress means the situation is unpredictable, like a fight. With a stress roll, the fairly high rate of *checking* for a critical success or failure means that you get swingy moments where all the planning in the world can't help you... or where you survive against impossible odds because you lucked out or the other guy botched.In a lot of games, I would hate having a 1/10 chance for an important roll to botch (or crit) but in Ars, you take it in your stride. It helps that not every botch botches and not every crit crits.>roll a 1 on d10>ok roll again and double the die result, treating 0 as 10>this means that a potential "crit" could be a 1 followed by a 2-5, resulting in a die roll within the normal d10 results range>rolling another 1 means you roll again and double double it. But even then, a 1-1-2 means you just got the casino hype moment and then rolled an 8 where you could've rolled a 40>roll a 0 on d10>If you don't botch, you just rolled a zero (plus stat and skill and mods)>But first, check for botch. Ask the GM "how many" and roll that many d10. Each one that shows a 0 is a degree of botchitudeComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
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 notTC 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.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/Comment too long.

>>97256201I wouldnt mind if there was some levity, it does seem to be a bit too grim. I hope as books/games come out and people explore characters it will be different but right now its missing the grim humor that keeps people in WH. Maybe not something as extreme as the Orks which are 99% jokey, but some trench humor would be nice.

>>97260974Pure Breed only occurs within tribal boundaries. While a descendant of a hero of any tribe is deserving of respect, Shadow Lords aren't going to go out of their way to preserve the Pure Breed bloodline of another tribe, and if any tribe would water down another tribe's Pure Breed bloodline for an advantage, especially the Silver Fang's, it would be the Shadow Lords.
>>97260791Wow, Shadow Lords really cannot go 5 seconds without being subversive.
>>97261054I thought Pure Breed was a kind of universal thing the way the book wrote about it? If that isn't the case, yeah I suppose they would. It would still be the case that a Silver Fang could never really (by genetics) produce a child without some Pure Breed.
>>97261058Except for the ones who aren't. They're home to the Judges of Doom, the giga-philodox camp who go full Judge Dredd on litany breakers. So even the subversive scoundrel Shadow Lords need to stick to the litany with their subversion, or face being judged and executed by their own tribesmen.
>>97261108Well, the Litany has maybe 4 real tenants, and while making Metis is breaking the Litany it's also hard to prove since I imagine Garou don't believe in paternity tests.

>>97260291Either because those formats are in a solved state or populated by people that went to them explicitly because they're easier than the current format, while the current format is volatile and Master Duel is populated by people that constantly interact with it.
>>97260696The formats I frequent are not solved. The main one I play is 1103, in that format there is a total of 8 decks that can be seen as the meta, all of them pretty powerful but there is no clear deck that can be considered better than the others. Deckbuilding still have room for development.

Is YGO still the second most popular TCG in Japan (behind Pokemon)?
>Halflings to do the farming>Dwarves to do the smithing and mining>Gnomes to do the researching>Elves to do magic>Humans to do the fighting (and thus, the ruling)This seems the obvious perfect order to things. Humans don't want to be the peasant farmers, we want to be the knights and lords, but somebody has to farm, somebody has to smith, etc. Why not have the other races do the menial peasant stuff that they specialize in anyways?
>>97251917nobody thinks you're smart dude
>>97259664Well, the idea is for a mixed population area as I understand it. That means self-governed ethno-groups would probably overlap geographically, which sounds like even more of a potential problem. I don't think OPs premise is terrible if you assume it's either find a system that works for a mixed population in the same kingdom, or there will be conflict for sure.

Welcome to /wbg/, the thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art. Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have, cunt!Last thread: >>96999149Worldbuilding links: Post someFantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator
>>97260776how much is it and what does it provide over a free account?
Rate my patchwork. Just wanted to reconcile Warhammer FB with Dragon Age and some cool Northern settings (Symbaroum, Skyrim, etc.). This is a map of the first version, now I changed it to more traditional Eurasian view (because it is basically two Europes symmetrically mirrored in the first version): Ferelden went to Skyrim, Orlais and Free Marches went to Italy and Spain, Tevinter, Anderfels and Nevarra went to North Africa. The idea is borrowed from Symbaroum: there was an ancient mighty empire of humans with epic architecture (Elden Ring, Dark Souls), which built three extended laboratory/research areas (yellow dots), then those areas were contaminated, the empire fell, rest of its people migrated to "Tevinter Imperium", and after that elves from "Ulthuan" seized the research areas to restrict access to them and to results of experiments. Then new semi-barbarian people migrated from "Westeros" and created current civilizations.Which "grounded" settings also fit to this picture?
>>97255551Try to thumb through "Dolmenwood - Campaign Book", they have pretty nice suggestions for filling a map.
>>97260914>because it is basically two Europes symmetrically mirrored in the first versionSo Dragon Age is basically Europe.
>>97260911The free version is super bare bones, doesn't even have private articles.I'd probably get the first paid tier and if I reeeaaaally like it I may go to the next one.

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?
