>Dragons that exist on a level above Kings and are paid tribute but otherwise largely don't interfere with the affairs of mortals Vs>Dragons establish their own empires with their own bureaucracies, integrating half-dragons, dragonborn, humans, kobolds, and other racesWhich do you prefer? Or is there one that fits a particular type of dragon more than the others?
>>97237640>Dragons are a dangerous animal: their only interactions with civilized societies are violent
>>97237640Fully-grown dragons should be treated like natural disasters. Towns and cities around areas that dragons have claimed as their territory should be ruins that were evacuated long ago out of fear, if not already burnt to a crisp. Killing one should be unthinkable - not because of morality, but because it simply can't be done. How does one kill a hurricane? A tornado? A tsunami? You can't do anything except wait for it to go away, or pray it doesn't hit.
>>97237640I prefer whichever one is a part of a game, and a game whose play has fewer interruptions, and whose interruptions are shorter duration; but ideally, a game whose play has no interruptions at all.
>>97237845Okay, keep to your video games since we all know you don't play tabletop ones.
>>97237838You generally build defenses for natural disasters like the japanese. Im sure the same could be done for a dragon given enough effort, ie if a dragon decided one day to roost right next to a large economically important city like smaug, but i dont think you'd bargain with or anthropomorphise them.
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.>Cyberpunk Rulesets (The Vault) (May not have all updated rulebooks, check official sources for updates):bit<dot>ly/2Y1w4Md>Resources for RED:https://datapool2045.net/Comment too long.

>>97227867Is there any in-lore explanation of how the hovercars and airships work? Also we know that as of 2077 only the ultra rich can afford flying cars, but an airship would be like a hundred flying cars. Who's footing the bill for that?
>>97235035>They're nothing in the rules to say you can't convince a group of people into suicidal fervor with a high enough Persuasion check.That's how the difference between social skills and Charismatic Impact played out in my playgroup. Persuasion can't make an NPC do a suicidal charge, but Rockerboy's fan(atic)s are devout/crazy/stupid to do so.
>>97235035I don't think you're respecting the applicability of Charismatic impact. The effective application is an "automatic success layer" for social checks.At rank 4, as I mentioned, you can meet a stranger and 36% of the time they'll do you something at no cost to you. If that fails, you can't CI them to do the same thing, but you can always persuade or bribe them if it doesn't work. Nothing about CI prevents you from making social checks afterwards; though intimidating them or using force to coerce them will almost certainly make them no longer fans This applies to EVERY STRANGER YOU MEET THAT YOU CAN MEANINGFULLY INTERACT WITH.If you can't figure out how to use that, you should probably play a different role.
>>97234206I mean the fun part of this is that you could get jumped by a couple of guards (corporate, gang, etc) during a gig and the rockerboy can break out the Charismatic Impact and potentially turn the whole enemy squad into either friends or just have them fucking off. My biggest issue with this is that the developers tell referees to go wild, but if a referee goes too wild they'll sign into their reddit accounts and have their gay redditors browbeat the user until he deletes his account.This happened last year (maybe? Time sure flies) when some n00b referee let his crew get abused by ripperdocs (maybe that's bad taste) and then the lawman's backup got corrupted because the local Chief of Police hated his guts and sent assassins after him (harsh, yes, but this is exactly what happened in Dread 2012). tl;dr the devs want us to make our own game but Cyberpunk has barely been a genre for 20 years and if we don't play as they want they'll get their gay reddit lackeys to berate us. It's fucking lame. And yeah that preddit thread is from a year ago but it was so disgusting that I still think back to it and shudder. Imagine how petty of a gamedev you have to be to to log into your personal account to say someone is playing wrong. Which is insane because this whole game is 80% homebrew because there is barely any content here. Remember in 2025 we got Interface 4 (kung fu) and Solo Play and that's it.

Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you? Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?>inb4 I don't because I'm not a faggut, hurr durr
>>97230688he's right thoThe decline of births is due to women not being impregnated in favour of women doing whatever they want.There IS a world in which that's good.You could live in a world number 1 with declining birthrates, BUT with women like, vastly improving society. Kinda like a humanpunk take: We'll have less births, but we'll catapult humanity with our collective effort.You don't live in that world.You live in the world number 2, in which there is declining birthrates, and what women do with their tradeoff lives? Nothing of value. I'm sure it has value to YOU, traveling and whoring and protesting asinine causes, but that's not world number 1That anon is right, if the women isn't pumping babies, she's of no value. She COULD tho! we COULD live in world number 1! And the women not pump babies but add value! We don't.
>>97236508Yes we can see you are retarded and don't know anything.
>>97236147it's even funnier and sadder when the same guys who tell everyone online that women are simultaneously both coldly logical gold digger automatons and incompetent hysterical children who can only act on feelings then look around and act all confused that men and women aren't getting together anymore
>>97226437Don't bother trying to make a character that "realistic." You're playing a fictional fantasy character in a fictional fantasy game. Make it a mix of characteristics from characters you like.This applies to male characters too btw.
>>97236764We shouldn't have to """get along""" with them. Women should go back to being submissive sex objects and home keepers and just do what we tell them. Letting them think they have rights or agency was a mistake.
How has a wife/girlfriend joining the group affected your games?

>>97237863>Tell me who's your favorite tranny?Me. I'm the best girl.With that aside, we should get a discord game if 5e started. I have an idea for a tiefling barista in a wheelchair who can use their natural charisma to overthrow the capitalist feudal patriarchal system and forcibly feminize all men. Let's make a paradise.
Everyone I know who watches Fatt Coville videos is a fucking terrible GM. I've never fully watched one and I am widely considered the best GM out of all 3 groups I'm part of. I am regularly requested to run campaigns. People borderline fall asleep in the games others run. There's also no tension because they know that these Coville acolytes will fudge rolls until all PCs survive the battle. If you're a good GM, it's an inmate talent you can hone over time. You're born that way. If you aren't, then no amount of shitty advice is going to make up for your lack of talent. It just is what it is. This idea that everyone should "try" DMing is retarded. The idea that anyone can be good at it? lolno. Its like some fat divorced on who suddenly decides he's gonna become a famous author. Fat chance. Most people fucking suck at GMing. Hell, most of them suck at playing, but at least in that case the game depends less on them.

>Thirst Provoking ImageMy fantasy campaign just ended with a rally fun fight against 8 dragons. I get to take some time off as the game master, and that's hella cool.Beyond being a game master, I'm also one of those worldbuilders that the What Game Fag hates so much, and my players have asked me for my next time running that I run in this sci-fi post cyberpunk setting I've been making for my own fun. I never planned on running it, just making it to feed my autism.I'm happy to do so, but I'm at a loss for the kind of campaign to run.I want to avoid cyberpunk gang warfare, but that's the only idea I actually have. I got about three months before I have to run, so I want to get ready early.Please, on this Christmas Eve, tell me what kinds of other campaigns I could be running in what is effectively a Cyberpunk Megacity on a different planet.If it matters, the ruleset is Savage Worlds.If it matters, the game I get to play in until late March is Gurps Dungeon Fantasy set in Ultima post U5 but before U6.
>>97236045>rally funRacing or tennis?>sci-fi post cyberpunkThat's not a great deal to work with. Obvious cyberpunk missions are delivering data, stealing data, destroying data, or stealing and delivering data. Or anything you can do in most settings like kidnap some guy or destroy something. I'm not really sure what you're after.
>>97236045You could go for being a corpo hit-squad, though that might tend too close to gang warfare. Though it could be fun having to hunt down the main antagonist because they keep brain uploading like a cyber-lich.>>97236126>Rally fun>RacingAn F-Zero kind of campaign could be pretty dope. Focus on the racing, but then there plenty of other stuff to do outside of the main events like secure sponsors, "aquire" parts to soup up the vehicles.
>>97236045Check out SLA industries and watch movie called Brazil.
>>97236045Could play a bunch of AI trying to escape a megacorp server rack.Could run a campaign where you're playing a bunch of investigators, trying to track down some information, criminal, or secret megacorp project that was stolen/broke out.Could still have a more traditional violent campaign where you play as assassins, trying to false flag some group for your faction's gain. Less constant warfare; more plan of action, coverup, and escape.

>>97237722>Inquisitor Corsini stood at the edge of the hull, contemplating what could be the last sunset he would ever see. Though abandoned by his order and opposed by a foe even he could not truly comprehend, the day of his vengeance was finally at hand. The sabotage device was in place, and all that remained was to choose the proper moment to strike.>Interrupting his thoughts, the sibilant voice of Salafié came from behind him; "You draw close to the edge, my lord. Take care lest you should fall.">The Inquisitor scowled under his hood at the double meaning of her words and responded in kind; "He who walks in the Emperor's light does not stumble, heretic.">"He speaks at last..." Salafié drew up alongside the Inquisitor, gazing out at the blazing horizon. "But heretic? Surely you misspeak. Have not the High Lords of Terra themselves attested to my innocence?">"Do not speak to me of innocence!" the Inquisitor growled, his voice like low thunder, "Nor of your pardon bought with the blood money of that damned Rogue Trader. I was there the day your machines laid waste to my homeworld. There and on a dozen worlds since, I bore witness to your guilt with my own eyes.">"Ah..." the Priestess sighed, "So you are the one who hunts me. Am I all you imagined I would be?">"Do you mock me? You stand accused! Have you nothing to say for yourself?"Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97237735>"The God-Emperor will punish you for your pride.">"Such certainty..." Salafié gave a hollow laugh, "Know that I have been slain time and again over the centuries, and ever have I been recalled to life by the same technologies for which you call me heretic. Yet in all of this, never has the Emperor passed judgment on my soul. If I am damned, it is by my hand alone.">"Blasphemy..." the word came reflexively to the Inquisitor's lips. "Blasphemy!" he bellowed once more, raising an accusing finger at the Priestess.>Moving with a speed and force the Inquisitor could not have hoped to counter, Salafié seized his outstretched arm, bones cracking under the grip of pneumatic claws. Even as he tried to pull away, Corsini felt his heavily muscled frame yielding to the hideous strength of metal limbs that folded him into an embrace and drew him irresistibly towards the precipice.>"I waste my words on you, zealot," she hissed in Corsini's ear as she forced him closer and closer to the howling gulf of open air. "Well, Inquisitor? Here is your prey, and there the ledge. If you are so sure of your faith, but ask it of me and I will bear us both down to our fate below, and prove whether the Emperor's will is the match to my artifice." >With a sudden exertion, the Inquisitor wrenched himself free from Salafié's grasp, collapsing to the deck with a groan. "I have nothing to prove to you, abomination," the Inquisitor gasped between ragged breaths, "You will not escape judgment!">"You lack the courage of your convictions, Inquisitor." the Priestess sneered down at him, before sweeping away to rejoin her noble guests, confident that beneath the Inquisitor's costume of fanaticism beat the heart of a coward. But for all her talents, Salafié was a poor judge of character, and even as Corsini lay upon the decking nursing his shattered arm in the fading evening light, he resolved that he would be a martyr before the dawn.

What are the funniest wargame mechanics you've ever encountered?
>>97236410100%, no competition, motherfucking cannonball bounce rods.Back when people were retarded, we used to to get dowel rods and paint them with black and white stripes, stripes starting thick on one end and thin on the other. When you fired a cannon, you'd have to line up the rod where you shot, and any units on the black stripes would get hit, while the white white area meant the ball bounced too high to hit them.
>>97237079that is based
>>97237079Ah yes, the "Everything is a TPK, RAW" rule.Someone actually thought that would be a good idea.
>>97237079God I remember building a car to generate as much stress as possible with the "add stress as attack dice on collisions" skill. Slime was fucked.
In Necromunda, the Cawdor Gang have a set of ambiguously supernatural prayers they can invoke for special effects mid game. Most of these are rolled to see if they activate at the beginning of the turn. One of them, however, grants extra jumping distance, as the Ganger beseeches the Emperor for the power of flight. This one is rolled for after you start jumping, in midair, so there's a good chance that the model jumps, and then you roll, and he plummets to his death. Good for a laugh, every time.
>need to read one or more literal textbooks before being able to engage with the gamehonestly that's kinda crazy
Players actually shouldn't learn the rules, a player who knows the rules is a player who may dispute the GM on them.

>>97235374I just skim enough to put the least amount of information necessary on my sheet. Sometimes I just make shit up that sounds right, and if I get called out on it I just say I didn't understand that part of the book and write in whatever they correct me on. I usually don't even spend XP, or if I do just dump it into the one or two skills I use all the time. If the GM or play group makes an assumption about a skill or piece of equipment they think I have I just write it on my sheet and go with it. I'm just here to play pretend, and my groups like the characters I play, so they don't need to know about how I do my character sheets.
