not sure if you mean purely models or lore, but the Ahriman novels have a ton of tzeentchian bureaucrats in the administratum, Wrath of Magnus had a lot of cultists and the changeling etc and in the heresy there's a lot of cult shenanigans including the changeling and the Prospero Burns character. You probably aren't wrong though, I wonder if it is because 'magic' is less appealling a topic in science fiction as it is in fantasy?

Vista edition

>Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk RED?
Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that focuses on simulation gameplay and has a black trenchcoat aesthetic.

Cyberpunk RED is the fourth edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that is set after Cyberpunk 2020 following the Fourth Corporate War, focuses on more balanced gameplay and is more streamlined but has less content.

You can discuss Shadowrun here too because I also feel bad for those guys.

Okay cool. I'll avoid and look for something else or wait for that Anarchy 2.0 to come out. Preview looked decent.

Also off topic, but why do designers have a hard on for rules lite "narrative" style games these days? Why is there such a big push to reinvent the wheel instead of just reiterating and improving on what previously worked.

There's this idea that there's a barrier to popularity in complexity; and that the simpler a game is the more money it's going to make. Not only is this completely wrong, they're often stupidly tearing out most of the interesting systems and mechanics and leaving behind dull ones because they weren't complicated.

RED thankfully didn't make this mistake, not entirely. It's simpler, but there's plenty going on to keep people interested without also being in modifier hell (though I feel a lot of GMs I've played with are terrified of applying circumstantial modifiers, so it's whatever). There are other flaws in the system, but the bones are good and you can build it up where it needs bulk.
>>
>>97222039
tbf Red does try it's hand at more narrative style gameplay. Rockerboy and Media have very wishy washy abilities open to interpretation.

Also Red does try to limit crunch by making the combat and character building very simple.
>>
>>97222172
Well those are two roles that would be very unsatisfying if you made them much more granular. That said they're not quite as insubstantial as they seem.

Charismatic Impact is actually crunchier than it might immediately appear; I just find GMs don't tend to pay enough attention and can sometimes make it work like mind control. Broadly its a way to scattershot assistance wherever you go; unlike Backup or an Exec's Teamwork, you can run into fans anywhere and you don't have to drag them with you. Even at rank 4 there's more going on than it would appear: Being able to play at well known Clubs necessarily gets you into all the well known club, and you're one rank away from necessarily being able to play (and thus enter) any club that's not explicitly exclusive. Otherwise you're building effectively a contact list as you make fans and can shake them down weekly (figuratively) for favors, which has the rules breakdown of "I have an ever increasing pool of NPCs that I get a favorable social roll on to just have them do shit for me". Use that smartly, and you're going to have the rockstar treatment wherever you go in the most literal sense of the word.

Similarly, Credibility has some bite to it if the GM will just play it right. Passive rumors go automatically, so the GM should be keeping you connected and assuming he's not feeding you bullshit intentionally, something is going to be useful. Even if it's not, publishing can work a variety of ways to your advantage more than just having a magazine. You can 'publish' to individual people or organizations and what you publish doesn't even need to be true. It's definitely more fluffy than all the others and more nebulous than Charismatic Impact though.

Sometime after the first print, but by the fourth. Errata v4.4 lists:
"Movement Restrictions: Whether or not the battle armor is equipped with magnetic clamps, no vehicle may expend UMU, VTOL, WiGE or Jumping MP while carrying mechanized battle armor, and no ’Mech may expend UMU MP."
This was changed to the text I posted here >>97221567 in the 10th printing. (That's likely why it ISN'T in CI, as that box released before the 10th print, and never got errata'd.

Eisensturm is a flying Atlas with dual gauss rilfes.
Though I think FWL's Shiva is pretty good as well. It also has a dual gauss configuration but on top of that also has a pulse laser one that absolutely shreds units when making ground attacks (remember that ASFs attacking ground units always count as attacking from short range, so you always get the -2 from pulses). It does have far less armor than the Eisensturm, but you get 3 Shivas at the BV of 2 Eisensturms, and regardless of the armor tye Eisensturm still gets one-shotted by an unlucky lawdart roll.

Strider you are overlooking that it is frankly insanely cheap and a bit of a zombie in the grand scheme of things thanks to C.A.S.E. and a standard engine. If you treat it like an IFV meant to transport and support BA then it does have moments to shine.

Owens yeah no idea what they were thinking. Its basically scout competing with a bunch of excellent scout options and even using one as a spotter feels like an expensive waste?

I don't particularly like trying to 'correct' people, especially since i'm not really a drawfag, but, just in my own experience, for example, if it were me, I probably wouldn't draw women with the face folds and wrinkles. They make them look a lot older. I tried removing it, and lo and behold she looks like 30 years younger to me.

Of course, it's clear you've got a good 'skill base' so the potential is there.

That stopped to be as much of an issue for me when I started to think of leveling as figuring out new shit at a dramatic moment, and not a gradual and structured process of learning.

Something along the more "cinematic" line of just making your new feature up on the spot because you're pushed harder than before, and maybe if you trace this sigil instead of that one the fire explosion will be bigger let's try spinning that's a good trick HOLY SHIT IT ACTUALLY WORKED.

Like, when a PCs levels up into their 4th-tier in six months after 30 years of being level 1, they're not that much of a different person than they were before, it is just that their abilities were pushed far enough my circumstances that they figured how to put into practice new abilities they had always been capable of.

Perpetuals are the worst thing the HH books introduced and everything about them is shit. But that story was too obviously made up even in the context of 40k's silliness. So I don't agree that it was ever a powerful metaphor for anything more than, "people really will believe the weirdest shit".
>>
I literally don't remember half of these, no, because as someone who bought the Book of the Astronomican when it came out you've made most of them up.

It was never directly stated that the Primarch's were clones. Heck, they were just Chapter Masters and when they got firmed up just before 2nd Ed they were always stated to be genetically engineered, so they weren't clones. Logically bits of their DNA were always taken from others.

The Imperium were literally breeding with Eldar in the RT rulebook.

Salamanders were just black guys (actually it was never explicitly painted and probably just a coincidence from the guide from the paint set but lets roll with that) and the ashen skin guys was itself an incredibly dumb retcon.

The custodes were 100% nothing because there were only four lines of text about them until fucking 8th edition.

LE2 had a beaked helmet, but literally the second marine model ever, LE10, didn't.

The Emperor being dead was always fannon that had a few bits of in-world evidence but just as much that directly contradicted it.

The Emperor's motivations were always shady, given he was literally nicked from Dune and that comes with it.

Obviously you're not going to use it on a token or on a card that's worse then a 3/3, but there are a fuckton of situations where Gilded Drake just wins you the damn game. If you nick someone's big Timmy creature, for one.
>>
>>97218965
>other players seeing you as a bigger threat means the card is bad
Stealing a commander draws a fuckton of aggro, that doesn't mean that's bad. It means IT IS GOOD YOU RETARD, YOU ARE DRAWING AGGRO BECAUSE YOU ARE AHEAD
>>
>>97222188
I didn't say it was bad, just that if you'r goal is to remove the opponent's commander in a way where it doesn't just go back to the command zone there are better options, since there's a good chance that one of the 3 other players will just Plowshare it and it goes back to the command zone.
Gilded Drake is the best card for stealing an opponent's creature, but stealing creatures is a fairly niche form of removal (not being instant-speed is a big drawback, and it's not even the best way of shutting opponents from using their commanders, so to get most of it you have to build a deck around steal effects or bouncing the card to steal multiple creatures), and it's not so much better than the second best option to be worth the ridiculously high price of the card (though if you allow proxies, that's admittedly not an issue).

GURPS 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.

I was playing Hogwarts Legacy and it got me wondering how a soft magic like that of Harry Potter would work in GURPS. RPM?

Harry Potter is just standard Magic where magery has a gadget limitation for wands.

True. I mentioned it because it was the first 'manaless' system that came to mind.

The spellcasting speed is about right, as well as the piecemeal nature of spells, but wizards doesn't seem limited by FP/EP and learning individual spells seems very easy, children learned Wingardium Leviosa in a single class.

Also Wizards can cast spells without wand, it's just easier to do so.
Under standard magic system, I guess wands could be several levels of gadget Magery. Having it increases skill levels with all spells by a large margin, so even dabblers can cast spells but to do so without it a wizard needs to study the spell a lot.
I guess it could explain why not even very talented mages like Dumbledore and Voldemort bothers with wandless magic.
