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.

>>97229928The ape does have more HP, and a ranged attack is very nice. Plus in the 2014 rules, the T-Rex can't bite and tail the same target, so the damage suffers. In 2024, that was fixed and the Ape's ranged option can't be spammed, so there's more of a case to be made for both.
>>97231165Are there other beasts in this weight class? The huge crab from Tales from the Yawning Portal is the only one that comes to mind for me.
Opinions on Rogue/Barbarian multiclasses? Reckless Attacks seems really good for hitting Sneak Attack off your turn.
>>97231871A lot of amazing synergy between base class abilities in the 2014 rules. I haven't read the 2024 rules.
>eyes of the graveI was thinking of adding fiends, devils and demons into this along with something to the effect of "Your sight counts as in daylight at all times" This is stronger than the ribbon it originally is but is there anything here that's immediately busted? I was hoping to spice it up a bit for a level 15 cleric that's recently gone through some shit and is switching subclasses from life to something a little mishmashed from other various subclasses

Are dragons still OP bullshit you shouldnt bring?
>>97232892I feel they have less impact on winning than they used too since 1.5, and in obj matches are usually too expensive. But they are still powerful monsters.
Everyone I know who watches Fatt Coville videos is a fucking terrible GM. I've never fully watched one and I am widely considered the best GM out of all 3 groups I'm part of. I am regularly requested to run campaigns. People borderline fall asleep in the games others run. There's also no tension because they know that these Coville acolytes will fudge rolls until all PCs survive the battle. If you're a good GM, it's an inmate talent you can hone over time. You're born that way. If you aren't, then no amount of shitty advice is going to make up for your lack of talent. It just is what it is. This idea that everyone should "try" DMing is retarded. The idea that anyone can be good at it? lolno. Its like some fat divorced on who suddenly decides he's gonna become a famous author. Fat chance. Most people fucking suck at GMing. Hell, most of them suck at playing, but at least in that case the game depends less on them.
>>97232673That'd be true except the advice from reddit was retarded hippie trash and honestly a lot of the dragon magazine writers were protoredditors. >>97232723My entire point is that aptitude is what matters. There is no "skill" and the vast majority of people have no aptitude to build off of?
>>97232848>That'd be true except the advice from reddit was retarded hippie trash and honestly a lot of the dragon magazine writers were protoredditors. Which is why none of it is good.
>>97232552>>97232771It's simpler than that: He's low IQ and he's trying to involve himself in culture war shit, because he thinks that will make people care about his content. He's trying to be a grifter, but he's too dumb to do it. And if he is actually virtualoptim, he's been at that shit for over a decade and still doesn't understand why everyone hates his faggoty song and dance.
>>97232490That was around the time reddit started cracking down hard on "problematic" subreddits and people started getting kicked out for saying nono words and having wrong opinions
>>97232872True, but it doesn't matter because actual good DMs figure that shit out on their own. If you have to be told it, you'll fail to apply it without seeming like an autistic robot.
How do you run an all dwarf campaign
>>97223015Bostonion
>>97229810Least bald Italian
>>97154762IF YOU DON'T ROCK AND STONE YOU AIN'T COMING HOME
How do you accurately roleplay as a dwarf who has lived his entire life underground and never seen a sunrise, rain, birds, the sky, or day and night cycles before? Like how would that affect you mentally? You might have heard travelers tell stories about the surface but how much of a fish out of water would you be encountering those things for the first time?
>>97232194Like a toddler probably, except with a far greater capacity for violence. Think about the accounts of barbarians seeing Rome for the first time, or Natives being taken to London, Lisbon, or Madrid. Maybe watch Beverly Hillbillies?
In my games, high level wizards turn to stone.

>>97228530no u
>>97231114I also unironically love your stuff because anthros + mechs is also my thing
>>97229990I find shotguns tricky as well. Logically, shells full of scattering shot are a much better weapon for attacking NOT armored targets... and mechs ain't that. The shell fires multiple smaller-than-the-shell projectiles, granting either an increased chance to hit or an increased number of hits from a single shot. The tradeoff is less damage and penetration per single projectile. OK.This kind of attack is extremely effective against unarmored being and structures (like wooden doors and apartment walls) while being pretty bad against armor. But- but- ...everyone loves mecha shotguns, naturally! So, what to do?Recommendations offered to me usually amount to "have them do high damage at close range but get wimpy fast as range increases." I feel like that's really reductive. I tend to think of shotshells as having poor penetrating power but being devastating if armor is penetrated.I thhhhhhink the thing to do is to reduce penetration (just by a little bit*) but give a pretty impressive bonus to internal damage or criticals or whatever. Something like that. *Because any reduced penetration at all is pretty unappealing.
>>97232619Good seeing you around Mekton.Glad that I’m on the right track by the sound of it. More confident just seeing that others have the same solution. That bit about damage to armor vs unarmored works naturally with my system just from how damage reduction works.>damage reduction applies to all damage dice that makes up the attack>rifles might deal 2d10 damage while shotguns might do something like 6d4>on a moderately armored target(2 damage reduction) the rifle would do an average of like, 7 damage vs 4>with no damage reduction the rifle deals 11 vs the shotgun’s 15
>>97232619Shotguns have their appeal for me in either just being unga bunga "close range big damage" because it's cool, or for using them as scatter blasters to pick off sensitive parts like optics and light vehicles. So you could give them a flak-like effect with a chance for inflicting damage to outer parts.https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/12342

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?
>>97231892>If goblins were actively malicious, jumping and stabbing people on the road, eating babies, raping women, etc, they would definitely be eradicatedYou'd THINK this would be self-evident, but apparently some kingdoms not only let goblins do it, they put loyal citizens in the castle dungeons and pillory for even TALKING about how goblins are doing it!What strange lands those must be.
I love how this is just a /pol/ thread with a fresh coat of paint.>Throw in some goblin distraction titties for added relevance.This is as bad as -4 str threads and "party wizard has declared he's a knight" threads
>>97213989Same reason we haven't made a concerted effort to eradicate mosquitoes
>>97232824Because Betty Boop already did?https://youtu.be/Eoh6SmbEVuU?si=EZPdPaRUx3846Wga
>>97231892>If goblins were actively malicious, jumping and stabbing people on the road, eating babies, raping women, etc, they would definitely be eradicatedNo they wouldn't retard, they're essentially a race a bandits, and bandits have never been eradicated in the entirety of human history

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?
Is "I/we should have used GURPS for this" a recurring reflection? Because I probably am at this point.
>>97232190No, because the answer is always "yes".I have played a lot of different games before playing GURPS and all of them would have been better if I had been playing gurps.>only warbetter as gurps>D&Dbetter as dungeon fantasy>warharmmer fantasy 2ebetter as gurps>Vampire the masqueradebetter as gurps>shadowrunbetter as gurps Action>Cyberpunk better as gurps actionComment too long.

>>97232190Yes. Its a thought that frequently comes up whenever we try to run something in any other system. Usually, the answer to "why don't we run this in gurps instead" is that it would be a lot of work on the GM's end to do it right.
>>97232610Why tho? Have you tried omitting subsystems?
>>97232682Theres a difference between "can run this in gurps" and "can run this in gurps better than an existing system." For something like Traveller, which 100% can be run in GURPS, but requires the GM to read and use Spaceships, stat a bunch of gear in GCS, ect, its easier to just cope with an existing system. When my group does GURPS conversion projects they usually take months of GCS work, because we want to do them comprehensively, rather than just renaming a bunch of relevant tech doodads.This isn't to say our way is the only way, its totally fine to just rename UT equipment to run cyberpunk or make a legally distinct but inspired by (x) setting in an afternoon, but its just how we generally seem to prefer doing it.
