>>97219478No he hasn't newfag retard. Everyone knows who perrynigger is because he unabashedly posts pictures of his Perry miniatures, usually alongside his naked body, and openly admits to being perrynigger, he doesn't shy from it. I haven't seen any of that behaviour in what must be about a year now. Perrynigger isn't just any anon who disagrees with you or whatever
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?

>>97214597>All that shitThat's just your opinion, man.Some people like having resources for a session. Some people like keeping shit hidden. It's all a matter of personal opinion and preferences.A good GM screen should have a bunch of tables for on the fly ass pulls.
>>97214648Why would you need to buy a printed one to know what it is? The idea comes up often enough in almost any discussion about tabletop RPGs that even non-players will learn what they are quickly enough, and a decent proportion of pdf downloads (legal or not) come with them.
>>97211997>>97214648Yet again, the question was "what is that?" and the reply why "have you ever engaged with the hobby" because screens are not new and not unheard of. We're not talking about who uses them or how not every game has one. Just the fact that they are a common enough thing to know of if you're actually in the hobby. I've run games for a couple decades now and don't use one, but I know what they are and why they exist.
>>97195963I dont think you finished a 1 year campaign with this manchilde running things. Your story seems like fabrication. The "ex-dm" of your tale is offensively ignorant and would run a horrible game is anyone allowed him to do so.
>>97195963>decide to DM>gets backseatedGrow a fucking spine retard, i get it's not an ideal situation but if a friend of mine did thay shit to me i would plainly say to him to fucking relax, enjoy the game and let me make some fucking mistakes so i can learn to properly DM my own way.
What game, in your opinion, has the greatest potential for ruining friendships? What game turns your friends into a bunch of Mr. Hyde assholes that start swinging?
>>97221090I think this is a meme answer. The only story I've ever heard of Diplomacy ruining any friendships was a very obviously fake green text from here where some girl gave a guy a blow job in the middle of the game to get a slight advantage that lead to winning the game. And then everybody clapped. After looking at the rules for 20 seconds, I realized the story was fake because the game is way to autistic for any girl to want to play it.
>>97221035The game that you’re looking for is called Overcooked 2, and it belongs on >>>/vg/
>>97221112Diplomacy is unironically friendship-destroying. If you haven't played it you wouldn't get it.
I have had people become more upset with me while playing John Company than Twilight Imperium, and in the latter I play the faction whose sole gimmick is stealing from other players whenever they do stuff. I don't consider TI a relationship damaging game in the slightest.
>>97221090>>97221251Stabbing is overrated. If you've played a lot, you would eventually realize that being trustworthy is the best thing you could do for your long term winrate.
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?
>>97219750Yeah, but Lord Anon is operating right next to a hostile kingdom, so he'd be the first to get hit whenver Shitstainia decides to reclaim their rightful clay or just raid for some goblin strange.
>>97220694It's some lotr minis that someone painted retard
>>97221102Is this less than ninety degrees? Because it's looking pretty a-cute.
>>97213989same could be asked of other species with respect to humans, since they(humans) in fact are the apex of the pest races
>>97213993Which one?
Wanted to talk about advice on GMing, settings you prefer, and styles or issues you as a GM have. I generally tend to prefer dark fantasy or sci-fi settings rather than trying something a little different. I also tend to have a style, depends on the system though, where i have a combat heavy session or two and then a more intrigue/exploration focused session. I have been working on how to better balance games I run, but trying to tie that to timing a game session gets tricky at times. Another issue I noticed is that puzzle solving or investigative games can be a lot harder for a player to get into the mindset for than the dm. It is easy to think everything you planned makes sense when you thought it out in your head but the players might not have the same line of thought.
>>97218365I guess what I mean by having more combat or intrigue focused sections is sometimes my notes tend to go for one side over another. I used to plan more stuff out, but as you said, it is a lot more fun seeing players solve issues by thinking outside the box rather than having a set solution.I do like your advice on asking players what they want to do before the next game. That really made all the difference when I started doing it a while back.
>>97218290To echo some of what >>97218365 said, you don't need to dedicate sessions to intrigue/exploration.If the goblins in a dungeon don't attack the PCs on sight, and instead scheme with the players to try to get them to kill their boss, that's intrigue. If the players are discovering things in the new rooms of a dungeon, that's exploration. Intrigue is just 'talking to NPCs that have their own motives', and exploration is just 'discovery'. It's on the players to engage with that.As far as investigation games go, that tends to work better in dedicated systems, but you basically want to flood the players with clues. Remember that the players aren't actually Sherlock Holmes, and so if you're expecting the players to make the deductions, you need to give them an appropriately difficult mystery. You also want to avoid including a purposeful red herring. The players are already likely to pick out the wrong person as the culprit, so you don't want to muddy things further by trying to trick them on purpose.
I strongly recommend reading the Kobold Guides. They're really top-notch. Check the Rchive for them.
>>97218290I've learned not to lock main plotline progression behind puzzles; like a door or something.But "best possible ending" will be, as well as all the best loot.Competent evil wizards don't just leave their best shit lying around in storage cupboards with nothing but a deadbolt and a green slime to protect it.Best thing is to give your players inscrutable hints; a map with a cypher, a key to an unknown lock, or rumours of a treasure in a jungle ziggurat.Take a few of these elements and blend them together.With skill, you can make your players "feel" like they solved a puzzle even when they didn't, just by giving them the components piecemeal; real puzzles should be presented alongside physical props; something tactile like a printout or a real sliding puzzle box.
>>97218365>picThat's scratching some old memories. Isn't that the Paladin that some fag in 2009 or something posted with a big sob story about how it belonged to his dad that recently passed away, and then a bunch of anons in the thread figured out that the story was bullshit cause the character sheet didn't make a lick of sense with AD&D rules?

Why did 5.5e drop the ball so hard? Everyone I know who likes 5e is staying with 5.0e. And more than a few of them have moved to 3.5, OSR, or other games entirely.Is WOTC just stupid?

>>97207970Give it time. Substance follows style. If the art of modern D&D is soft and gay, then the adventures will eventually become as such.
>>97221359You believe it says that because you are a dumbass who assumes that getting a new version means you've failed, and that being the most current version means you've succeeded. If or when a new version comes out, would you then assume that 5e failed? You shouldn't. You should realize how braindead your way of thinking is instead.
>>97221472>>97221490>>97221624No you didn't. You brought in barely relevant things that you did not bother understanding, then proclaimed yourself some sort of winner. Seemingly, you are incapable of deriving conclusions from information.

By the way, how many units from the charts actually have profiles?
>>97220071All of the units for the first three charts should. Some are jokes like the Star Ancestor. Quite a few never made it into a book so if you want any reposted please let me know.
>>97221029I was checking if there were some units that would fit a neo mughal book, but other than the rajput sepoy, I think there are none.
>>97221542For what it's worth, I don't personally believe that every mentioned faction needs to be a full book faction. Some, like Olms, Neo-Mughals, and Ethiopia, can just be microfactions with only a handful of units.

This one is banned kek. Could of sworn something similar to this existed at the start of DM.■ Reveal the top 3 cards of your deck face up. Put all Water cards from among them into your hand, and put the other cards into your graveyard.
>>97219214I 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.
>>97221306Unfortunately 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)https://duelmasters.fandom.com/wiki/DMPCD-03_DueMaPlay%27s_Collaboration_Deck:_The_Fierce_Dragon_Hero_and_the_Original_Wicked_Eye
>>97219387contact distributors. it seems like in europe, italy is the hub for getting the trading cards straight from distro for the low lol . Card sales in america are so interwoven with baseball cards, a uniquely american thing, that I wonder how pokemon cards and such are sold in other europe.
>>97221501>That said, they have brought over some DMP exclusive cards to paperI 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.
Moloch's Fun Park 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.

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.

>>97220374I think they misread that the demons that show up *in* russia (from the northern hellgate) are ice demons.
>>97221144I don't think they've read anything, they're just trying to derail the thread with /pol/ shit about the war.
>>97220374>no permanently established heretic presence.*that we are shown
>>97221336It would be odd for an in-universe map to show heretic powerbases closer to the authors location but not further away where it would matter less. I would suspect that those lands are subjected to chevauchee's sauntering out from the blockading forces of Alamut based in Georgia. Probably a lot of heretic Scythians (which sounds awesome), plus whatever naval raiders are in the Black Sea and Caspian Sea, but have yet to take, or haven't attempt to take, a swath of territory and hold it successfully. Maybe there's a hidden Hellgate that's on the agenda, but only time will tell.

Magic should be rare, mysterious, superstitious. It should take time to use and be exhausting to cast When did fantasy magic and wizards turn in Avatar the Last Airbender shooting fire and lightning out their assholes?
>>97218699Simple enough question.
>>97217788Perhaps you should read the books where hes dropping fireballs every couple of days
>>97219181Yeah, it is quite simple.
>>97218076How about magic from belief? You have a priest who REALLY REALLY BELIEVES that he can banish a spirit, he matches his willpower against it (his belief) and if he wins, the spirit is banished. Alternively, the belief could be a resource, ie a priest, wizard of godling has to convince a big enough group of people that their magic works, allowing it to happen. It could be cast using personal methods or a set formulae, but without the belief that it will work, it doesnt.It would lead to some interesting situations - a unbelieving scientist attempting a spell in a spellbook and nothing happens becasue he has no belief. A powerful wizard, priest or god could be reliant on the belief the people have in them - if the legend of the caster fades over time, their power fades or vanishes as well. It would give priest characters something to do than just heal, they would have to keep trying to generate belief in their particular god or brand of magic, while reducing the power of competing beliefs and religions. Building/destroying shrines and temples would aid one side or another, while a wandering wizard would encourage tales of mystery and wonder that spread from his adventures.
>>97221495>he matches his willpower against it (his belief) and if he wins, the spirit is banished. That is a formula that one of its parts is belief. The formula doesn't need to be compromised by hard math to be a formula. A newts eye, the tear of a virgin, and the a true loves kiss combined breaking a curse, or casting Charm Person is still a formula even if two of the parts are not really tangible.

Making a goofy chess game, basically you're just doing puzzles for points with a streak multiplier like on a regular site, but for every three you get right in a row it lets you pick a single use card that can change the rules for one puzzle. If you use one it'll let you cook and try to beat the puzzle "under par" for multiplicative bonuses. I wanted to make chess Balatro but I only vaguely know what Balatro is. Kinda hard making the cards balanced and fun, but I did have a cool tactic with a "knights get pawn attacks" one, and my own minimum viable engine used the "Whoops! All knights!" one against me, so I think this could be neat with some more features.
