This is a highly niche question, but: what's the best TTRPG anthology you've ever read, and what made it good in your opinion?

>>97231825I haven't read any of these.
>>97229731>>97229685Now there's a philosophically interesting question. Is the rules booklet for Monopoly the game, or is Monopoly the game and the rules booklet just a booklet?
>>97232625A rules booklet describes how to play the game, obviously. You need to know how to play the game, and know its goals and its failure states.Meanwhile, something akin to literature, such as an anthology, doesn't serve that purpose whatsoever.
>>97233886If it's an anthology of roleplaying games, then it obviously does.

>>97234136That wasn't the question though
>>97233131I think that's very intentional. That worked back when both Nale and Elan were obsessed with theatrics and the 4th-wall lean of how the story should go, but the pointed subversion to the point of Elan getting slammed by the door indicates that this new version of Nale very much does not play by those tropes. He's back, but he's not Elan's brother anymore.

>>97231290Nurgle first.
>>97233972Do you have a question?
So all those shitty FDM prints I have seen in the past are just people rushing their printing? I bought an A1 Mini a week ago with a .2 nozzle and the quality is quite decent but scenery printed with the stock .4 nozzle is simply stellar. Printing a 12cm tall statue took me 5 hours and print lines are almost invisible. My settings are literally a hotchpotch of random tips and tricks from r*ddit so I can only imagine the quality you can achieve with a proper setup. Resin printing remains superior when it comes to printing minis but I don't see myself buying terrain ever again for a reason other than unique design.
>>97234152>So all those shitty FDM prints I have seen in the past are just people rushing their printing? Mostly, also there are many older pics on the net with shittier printers, or people who wasn't aware of, or didn't bother with, better settings. And cameras pick up prints lines much more than your eyes.>Resin printing remains superior when it comes to printing minis but I don't see myself buying terrain ever again for a reason other than unique design.Agree

>>97227663You should check out the 4th Corporate War books from 2020 in >>97200207. Obviously the corps aren't allowed to go that all-out anymore but it could inspire you. My favorite cyberpunk ™ corporate job is employee extraction (very rarely the target actually does want to work for you!). It can get extra dicey if you're forced to extract the target's family from the company dorms or you can challenge your players morals when they find out the target is actually fine starting fresh and abandoning his family, probably to the streets. You can also go nuts with the corp's defenses. The 4CW had stuff like concealed turrets that would pop out of the walls to defend against AV's flying around.What corporation does your crew want to run for? Or which corporation looks like the most fun for you?
>>97230424FUCK!
>>97229581Okay think about it like this. Charismatic Impact is one really expensive skill that's limited in application and unless you get it to a high level grants middling benefits. It's a similar problem to the Lawman and Backup.
>>97234045If you cannot see how useful a skill to turn groups of people or individuals in your fans, and then having those fans do shit for you, you're bad at rpgs, full stop.
>>97234045Alright, so lets talk about what Charismatic Impact does realistically, using the book examples: DV 8, DV 10 and DV 12 are standardized across the board and are both for making fans and getting stuff from them. The GM is instructed to auto-fail requests that are out of scope, so we'll try to match the descriptions to the letter. We'll assume the maximum rank for a given bracket, just to not calculate things too many times:Rank 2:DV 8 - Individual - 40% chance of doing a small favor; providing a meal or transportationDV 10 - Small Group - 20% chance of showing up invitedDV 12 - Large Group - N/ARank 4:DV 8 - Individual - 60% chance of doing a large favorDV 10 - Small Group - 40% chance of hanging around and providing food or transportationDV 12 - Large Group - 20% chance of... to be honest this one is kinda vague, but following the initial pattern, it seems they'll show upRank 6:DV 8 - Individual - 80% chance of doing minor crimesComment too long.

Anyone else played Castles and Crusades? I like it because it lets you choose a race and class, has ascending AC, but still feels like old school D&D. I've only had a few chances to play it but might run it some more if I can convince my friends to try it again.
>>97231522I'm a fan of the weirder monsters found in the Fiend Folio. I want to use Crab Men in a game sometime in the near future. Might have them guarding a stretch of coat notable for shipwrecks. Survivors are often torn to pieces by the vicious Crab Men.
