Most retards put their tactical squads with only one toe in objective range in preparation of running away when something gets close leaving more than enough room to deep strike a unit on top of the objective.

My ex joined my group, played for a while, she had fun, but she did later tell me after we broke up that my friends would stare at her tits and during the game she tried to force me to kick a sperg out of the group when we played at the spergs house and it was our only option for a variety of reasons. Then told me she'd never liked any of my group and she didnt enjoy playing. Even though she clearly did but whatever. Ironically she had an animal companion I could never find a figurine for until after we broke up they suddenly made several of them for D&D and if the right size category too. I find that ironic.

Had good nights where the group brought their women for boardgame night. Even played some heavier games and not just your run of the mill party games.
But TTRPGs are pretty much boys only and no girl has shown interest which isn't a problem for me.

Anything by Jules Verne.
Of course, the issue there is that he lived when Steam tech was the newest thing, so at the time his works were just speculative fiction. It's only after steam faded that his works became the basis for a new psudogenre

>A good method is to replace coal with some other sort of unobtainium mechanism that can more efficiently power steam engines.

Most modern power plants (Nuclear, Coal, Natural Gas, etc.) are in actuality giant steam engines turning electric motors in order to generate electricity. The steam age has not really ended it was just hidden from sight. If you want steam punk to actually work you need to come up with a reason that pumping a high pressure aerosol of liquid vapor through pipes is a better energy transfer method than transmitting electricity through metal wires.
>>
>>97198341
You know what, I don't how steampunk fashion/subculture started either. It seems to me it must have started in the US but that's as far as I can go; there must be a reason beyond some music bands adopting the steam era adventurer aesthetics back in the 2000s, but I just don't know what it was
>>97230255
In Dragonmech it all boils down into "steam powered shit was invented by dwarves and they're so good at it everything just works out", the book just tells you not to overthink it and just enjoy the ride
it also implies that the same dwarves that invented steam powered mechs also know about electricity generation and nuclear powered engines, but won't tell anybody about it because it's just too dangerous to let people like humans or goblins get their hands on that kind of knowledge it's also implied that there was an ancient dwarven empire that nuked themselves into the stone age and that's the main reason they keep that kind of tech under wraps
i'm personally fine with that; i just want to run a high fantasy adventure with mechs and sheit

Would love to share some YTers I like to use for inspiration. Looking for anyone you find helpful. Preferably smaller creators and not restricted to 5e. I’ll submit three that I really enjoy while I’m doing prep

First I’ll submit is Desk and Dorks. The channel is made by a medieval historian and combines his knowledge of subjects to enhance games.

I particularly like his take on Bronze Age fantasy and building better town guards

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.

No it's about giving Rockerboy tangible bonuses that help in the minute to minute gameplay. Not loose "favours" that are open to interpretation and put the onus on the GM/player to actually come up with something interesting. It's lazy game design.

I dunno, if the point of the Rockerboy is they have access to a fanbase that supplies them with favours, then why not make them similar to the Exec?

What is the best SR edition?

>>97229011
Depends entirely on the person. I like 2e because shadowrun, to me, will always be the early 90s roc paperbacks. I've also heard good things about 4th/5th. It seems like the most recommended is 20th anniversary.

Anarchy 2e looks promising, as well, if you're down for a more narrative game.

Perception and Agility with a Strength requirement to use.
>>
>>97227798
This game has unironically best rules for bows and crossbows
>You either pass the minimum requirements of specific bow type, or you can't use it, period
>Bows use both general body agility and raw strength, in different ways, depending on bow type
>The stat governing your attacks is Perception, because it's about aiming your shot, given you either can or can't draw the bow in the first place and don't need rolls for that
>Taking extra time to aim requires to pass Strength check
>By themselves, crossbows have no stat requirements, and if you stick to regular ones, they are strictly superior to bows due to that
>Crossbows up to certain weight can be reset manually, but you need to pass Strength or Agility check (whichever lower)
>You can only do this as many times as your Constitution (1-5)
>Bows and crossbows deal damage from two sources: raw projectile and aiming
>This way you can use a hunting bow to kill a human if you know where to hit, or you simply draw a longbow/crossbow and use the raw dice pool of those to get shit done
>With heavy enough crossbow and good aim, you can take down anything you wish
>Due to the way how defence against projectiles is counter, "lucky peasant with a crossbow" is very much a thing, unless you have a shield
This game has many various issues (like the lack of grading - everything is either ass or superhuman, no middle ground), but bow and corssbow rules are perfection

/tg/ is pretty bad for those. Though I'm running a session in a discord game where the player characters got sent to a post-apocalypse world with both varieties of mutant and are working to gain their trust. And it's kind of funny because most of players are playing what most of /tg/ would classify as "freakshit" characters, but they're given marginally more trust than the humans (who interact with them by covering their faces, needing to do so due to the the shitty air anyways) due to how the mutants consider them to be more "natural looking" than the humans.
