I started working on a Science Fantasy TTRPG. It was originally a GURPS setting, but i wanted something more pulpy, less realistic, and it's spun off into its own thing.Here's the latest draft, tell me what you think>https://files.catbox.moe/maxhmu.pdfthe new captcha is fucking gay btw
>>97263862awesome, i love /tg/ originals.
>>97263862Very pulpy. Very kitchen-soupy. I enjoy the writing. Formatting is nice as well. Not sure how it playtests. A few thoughts:>D100 systems like this it gets really easy to get to 100% effective skill (+10 from gear, +10 from aim, etc)>Called shots to head are always worth it, 10% penalty for 50% damage increase> Critical success should probably always be 5% or 10% of the effective skill level. Right now, a master with >100% skill crits at the same rate as someone with zero skill. >Combat seems very rocket taggy. Energy sword is 3d10+6+(Str/10) ignoring 10 DR is insane.>Prepare Defense is a trap and never worth it, mechanistically. Defensive skills are punishingly bad.>Do defensive reactions completely invalidate the attack? Are there any restrictions/limitations? > Death checks become nearly impossible afer a certain threshold. Light damage gets irrelevant. Heavy damage is going to kill> Ursulans, Mechanicals, and Amphibians seem awesome> Defense stacking seems strong >Extra attack is insanely strong in this system> Armor and weapons don't scale well and DR eventually outpaces most damageComment too long.

here's a new version:>https://files.catbox.moe/im6n3u.pdf>>97269711thank you :)>>97270297i'll take all this to heart, thanks. some notes>the energy sword is like a lightsaber the players would have to go on a whole quest to obtain. it's the ultimate weapon by design>defensive reactions do invalidate the attack>rolling vs death also gets intentionally impossible after a certain threshold. if you're -30HP, you should die.i'll think about the rest, thank you. some great notes here. i'm doing a playtest soon. we're making characters this weekend after new years, and then next week i'll be starting the playtest

Swords don't exist. Everyone carries either knifes or hammers/axes>muh messersNo.>>97257877>>97257855I like this.
>>97270466>spirits (alcoholic kind) practically flowThis is literal. There are vodka rivers alongside water rivers.
Dragons exist, but they are the size of housecats and are considered destructive pests along the lines of wild pigs.
The Alcoholism cult arose from Bogarus, but is not based there anymore after the cult drank all the vodka in town one winter night

yes when I gm, never when im a player. ive even play exclusively women in mmos, but i never think of myself as "roleplaying" in those games.when im a gm, i do it to the best of my ability to build a world for my players.as a player, i have no desire to play anything but a man. i don't really know how to explain it outside of "it feels weird" despite doing it all the time as a gm.
>play male PC>ends up being a pretty basic wild card character>play female PC>actually ends up as a proper characterWhy is this? Is it because it's easier to just self insert and disregard the on-paper character when it's a dude, while the foreign perspective of a female forces me to actually engage with the character concept?
>Currently judging a top level competitive Pokemon duel>Opponents are the 2 current top PokeMasters: Bobby James, and Jim Robertson>Bobby plays Misty’s Duel, a powerful trap he is well known for using>Jim claims to not know how to play rock paper scissors so we should coin flip>Bobby calls BS, as they have previously played rps when he used Misty's Duel against himWhat is your call, professor?

>>97263623Let's say that A and B are playing, but A is paralyzed in one of those Stephen Hawkins wheelchairs and uses some kind of mechanical claw to play the cards. He knows the rules of RPS but his augmentic limb cannot perform the required gestures. Would you allow a flip coin in that case?. Take in mind A declared openly he knows the rules of RPS.

>>97270706It is weird to see somebody do shaming tactics in an anonymous image board.
>>97270706Brother I just got here the fuck are you talking about. Also it's not my fault that Infernals are the best splat and puts all other splats to shame especially Solars.My opinion on the Realm is that fucking around on the Blessed Islands is probably a bad idea unless you have a solid game plan and are higher essence but it also just depends on what you're doing. Reaction time is measured in days instead of weeks or months for those places really far from the Blessed Islands. A solaroid who thinks they can't lose is just setting themselves up for disaster. Depending on where on the Blessed Islands the reaction time could be measured in under an hour if not immediate, like if you fuck around in the cities.It's the place for spy games or the end game, although you can do plenty more with it. I personally think a Suicide Squad or Tournament arc would be interesting but that's me.

>>97270633That's only true if you play World Eaters fairly. If you try to use rules loopholes to cheat to compensate for having a 1 inch penis like the fagboy in this thread, then WE instantly become WAAC. GW did not plan for any models to get both +1 attack charging and +1 attack for butchers nails, while also being immune to all statuses and Ld10 and Cool10 for activating butcher nails. But some faggots are so afraid of losing they really need to try to cheat as hard as they possibly can before GW releases the 1.2 FAQ that will fix the obvious typo in the rule. It's just pathetic because they're doing nothing but trying to ruin the game for other people by cheating, it's no different from using a chessengine to cheat against someone in a free online chess match. Complete sad degenerate faggot trying to cover for a flaw in his own character.
>>97270705>He still refuses to explain HOW it is WAAC or illegal
>>97270631those are the only units butcher-surgeons are allowed to join, yes. It's a prime advantage to put a nails-activator inside units of Red Butchers and WE Inductii in a heretics World Eater army which is the only army which possesses the Butchers Nails rule at all. That's literally what they are. It's just written poorly so losers are trying to cheat both by ignoring the Bitter Duty rule entirely and trying to cheat by ignoring that Butchers Nails is only allowed in a Butchers Nails army. It's two cheats simultaneously, and not subtle ones.

>>97270586>most of the waacfags having been filtered out of the game during its 1st edition launch where the rules werent really concreteI don't think that actually mattered TOO much, they would've started slipping back in over the editions.But on the whole you're correct, aos filters out most of the weirdos. I think probably the worst you'll have to deal with are actually the waac, or waac-adjacent types. Yknow the guys that'll stomp a newbie during a teaching game or something. But even though they're the most common type of weirdos in AoS, they're thankfully still quite rare on the whole.

>>97266428>always be at the bottom of open tournamentsBut I thought women are equal to men? So why would they be worse?
>>97270280Scientists say that they have a smaller brain.
>>97270280Women are less ambitious than men on average and are self-contained and self-satisfied. Men are constantly reaching outward and upward and trying to distance themselves from the womb. This is how civilization was raised, and why religion changed from Mother Earth worship to Father Sky God. It’s not that women are less intelligent, they’re just different, on a deep level. Women want to burrow, men want to conquer. Theoretically, if a woman was grown in a lab and brainwashed to want to be a competitive chess player, there’s no reason she wouldn’t be able to, and her name is Judit Polgar.
>>97270280Women are not as adept at spatial-visual reasoning, presumably a biological hangover from when men were hunters and needed to anticipate and plan the movements of prey they were hunting. It's why they also suck at making furniture, they don't have the same capacity to visualize moving and placing objects in the future. Doing that well is obviously fundamental to complex chess but I'm sure there are other reasons too like women being in general less autistic and competitive than men.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere.Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help:>n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128>Need a starter dungeon?

For all its shortcomings in the censorship department, I think Dolmenwood mostly does well to add to the B/X base with clarifications, some from AD&D. For someone like me who is too autistic to organically fill in the blanks left in the rules, it's great material. The SRD is a bit messy, but at least it is easy to navigate (and thus it is easy to cherrypick the additions). It specifies the weight of misc. adventuring gear as well as things adventurers are capable of (thus preventing mudcore slowdown of play). However it still does not complete the wilderness game or add a complete domain game.

>>97270693>This general will try to convince you otherwise as it is popular and therefore badBait used to involve a minimum of effort and plausibility.
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?
>>97268896>the rest of us
>>97267617The average Groyper and copyist seems to be pretty square in the reactionary/romanticism space.
>>97267617
>>97268896I've spent enough time around all three groups to tell you that the islam extremists are what you really should be worried about more than anything. The number of far right shitbags that talk big but will never do anything is most of them.The number of radicalized muslims actually willing to do something terrible is way higher than you could ever imagine.Despite what the media tells you, Islamic extremism IS a worse problem than far right extremism.
>>97269984There is no such thing as Islamic extremism.The correct term would be Islamic fundamentalism. Islam is basically the inversion of every other major religion today, where the people going out and committing atrocities to people of other faiths are the ones that are actually interpreting their faith properly and behaving as intended, and the people who are trying to not do that are the ones twisting the messages of their faith to suit their worldview. It's the kinda shit you usually only ever see in cults.
What are some of your experiences with BRP or mythras? Favorite stories, characters, or supplements? I generally like running pulp or horror campaigns. Funniest story setup was how my players thwarted a small series of adventures I planned before it even started.>Players role up an old priest, a journalist, and basically fred from scooby doo. >Investigating a series of murders and disappearances. >Get captured thesmelves and wind up in a rundown factory converted to sort of look likea victorian mansion.>Meet an obvious vampire who uses them for basic company and conversation before planning to kill them.>My players escape, the frail priest manages to full nelson the vampire, and the other players manage to use a stake to kill him. It ended what I planned to be a multi session adventure in one night. It was a lot of lucky roles and ended up with being funny.
Is there any major difference between Mythras and Mythras Imperative?
>>97268961Quite a few actuallyImperative is broadened and highly simplied While regular mythras is designed for fantasy settings from a tech level range of paleolithic all the way to late renaissance and napolnicBut assumes classical era bronze/Iron Age most of the time Also way more shit to play with about five diffent magic systems you can chose to include or exclude entirelyAnd a complete combat effects system Imperative is really a wide vertical slice that is missing a lot of shit though it has rules from a few supplements It even has a heavily simplified version of the supers rules present in the standalone game destined If you want sci fi stuff I would reccomend giving Luther Arkwright a spin
>>97269029>If you want sci fi stuff I would reccomend giving Luther Arkwright a spinThere's also M-Space for sci-fi mythras.
