On the spectrum of rubber forehead aliens to complete starfish aliens that are made out of silica and breathe methane, where are YOU specificially comfortable with. Does there come a point where an alien becomes too weird for you to "relate" to in order to include them in your games as playable races?Personally I am fond of aliens that look plausibly like they could have evolved in a different world and have no distinguishable lineage to earth life, even if they share some superficial features.
>>97264811Should have made them with two pairs of tits (the long torso could clearly accomodate that) ... would have been waaay cooler.
In my book, any kind of alien can work, so long as their tech level is believable. While the Birrin feel like they've been designed with features that only exist for weirdness' sake, it's the natural way their biological quirkiness is presented in mundane scenarios that make them work. It's when an extremely animalistic-looking species has quirks that feel wholly unsuited for using the technology they have that starts to feel weird. Either the tech needs to feel ergonomic for them, or they need to show visible difficulty using it. Despite all this, it's pretty easy to handwave how an alien can use what it's got if it has tentacles. The game Endless Space 2 has a lot of atypical aliens, like cephalopods forced onto land (Niris), sentient Amoeba gestalt consciousnesses and tardigrade meteorologists (Kalmat), not even mentioning the ones from other dimensions, though many are the result of meddling from another advanced civilization in their development. They might have a single text box worth of exploration into their culture for you to read as the start of a quest, and a civic project you can enact relating to integrating them into your culture. I think the biggest issue I have is the annoying number of the races (especially the major ones) with very cybernetic looking "default" features, and it makes it feel way too on the nose that they were messed with by the titular Endless. Still, I really hope we get something like Star Control for the franchise at some point to more closely explore all the novel ideas the game presents on the macro level. Been thinking to maybe add some elements from the games to a Stars Without Number campaign.
>>97269490>UUUUULLAAAAA
>>97265502no. It's already perfect
>>97265180Yeah I guess you can use 3e stuff if you aren't actually playing GURPS, the books are informative

Why are wolves so common in TTRPGs as enemies?
>>97269790Wolves are big and scary and they are quite capable of killing and eating a human being. They're real animals so they work in everything from high fantasy to zero fantasy survival games. Being real also means the "lore" is already written for them. You don't need to explain to your players what a wolf is does or looks like.

>>97269790>>97269845So, OP. Why do you need an answer to this question again?
>gain traction from GW losing community goodwill>immediately start killing your own community goodwill before you even have a product fully outWhat is this business strategy called?
The more I look at this thread the more true it seems that the devs and associates have a defense force here nearly at all times for this game.Part of the reason trench crusade has a bad rep is how obnoxiously defensive the fans can be. No one around where I am even plays it since the drama just outlived the game, and the fans accused anyone with even minor criticisms of the game of being some ultra chud. It is known as the drama game with the worst, most obnoxious players. Even the devs themselves keep shooting themselves over and over again and getting rid of any goodwill or hype they had by doing the stupidest stuff. The game as a whole fails to really play better than mordheim, albeit mordeheim has a couple of its own issues admittedly that are at least easily fixable.
>>97270866Not sure if retarded, intellectual dishonest or ignorant of history.
Jewish owned, led and brainwashed business strategy.If you are white you must only support anti semitic, racist, fascist creators like FlashGitz AKA FASHGitz because they don't hate you and your entire species and yearn for you to be genocided./TroonyGoyim/ won't ever learn this because they have terminal estrogen poisoning.

Any of you guys ever play this? What's it like? I happened to be looking for a game to run something like ghostbusters in, though I was looking at stuff like hunter the reckoning, and stumbled across this today.
>>97261804Ive played a one shot of spooktacular, which is an IP free version of the game. Enjoyed it quite a bit, it was a lot of fun. It's a very light weight game.
>>97261804It's fun, it's simple, suitable for adults and kids.First edition was slightly better. Not all that many real differences mechanically, added a little encumbrance rule rather than just can carry five items or whatever it was, made a rule for making weird science stuff, added a sort of wound/injury rule. They also got rid of the character and equipment cards because they cost too muc--because they were "childish". Making a character in first edition takes seconds, and a few more seconds in second. Its dice pool system is the progenitor of the d6 or D6 system like used in WEG Star Wars.It's not something I'd probably make a long campaign of, though that is where the second edition was headed, but for a short campaign it's fun and it's never out stayed its welcome. It's easy to learn and as I said works with kids and adults. The only warning I'd give is that it's supposed to light entertainment and it's a bit less fun if you play it completely straight but don't got for slapstick. If you and the players don't take it seriously that's worse I'd say than taking a more serious game and playing that for laughs.
>>97261804I played a Ghostbusters game, but for the life of me can't remember if it was the official rpg or some custom thing my friend made. Our characters were Ghostbusters franchisees for the city we actually live in. My character was a small time con man who didn't believe in ghosts and joined up because he thought it was just a way to scam credulous rubes. Finding new ways to rationalize the increasing levels of ghost activity was fun.

>>97268107Popsicle stick to set the alignment plane and a pair of tweezers for fine adjustment will do the job. 3x2 independent joints that can be aligned one at a time is a hell of a lot easier than four joints that all have to be aligned at once.
>>97268107Goddamn, even holding the miniature it would almost make more sense to scan it and print it as a whole.Too bad (for me, good for CB) Infinity is basically either not existent or extremely well gatekept as far as scans go.
>>97264487>whats the army with the bigger boobs?Tohaa (Gorgos Pilot, Sukeuls, Igao)>>97268342Scans are even more niche than 3D printing proxies, and there aren't too many of those for Infinity.

>>97270872Your post was one of the classic thought terminators currently rendering the chan unusable, rendered in one of the classic forms, anon.That's a good list.Have you bought from any yourself, and do you have any recommendations or condemnations based on those experiences?I tend to grab a couple of models or a pack from Black Scorpion every Salute, they are well sculpted and properly proportioned and tend to be very nice and crisply cast.I have some stuff from Black Sun as well, their 54mm Hawk Knight, I think, and some steampunk top hat clockwork power fist guy.Similarly good quality. Their shop looks less and less active every time I check on it.
>>97270896>Have you bought from any yourselfI think the only ones I've bought from are (all in 28mm too):>Makashi's Tea House and Space Vixens From Mars (some not!Star Trek metals)>Northstar Figures (Oathmark heavy human plastic and metal preorders)>Perry Miniatures (plastic Agincourt Knights)>Victrix Miniatures (plastic Norman Infantry)>Wargames Atlantic (lots of stuff from them)WGA is actually American, but to get around tariffs if you order from outside America they cast and ship from a British factory they opened.>Warlord Games (plastic and metal Euro Wars of Religion)I recommend all of them, but be warned that Warlord Game sculpts can be hit-or-miss and some of the older Victrix are a mix of multipart and multipart monopose (but they seem to be getting better with recent kits on avoiding monopose elements)

Previous thread: >>97111514GURPS 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.Thread question: How often do you use an official GURPS setting? Which are your favorites?
>>97268345Not in GURPS, but I have run a campaign that was very similar in concept. Campaign concept was building a globetrotting mercenary company from scratch. Started as just the PCs, and then they recruited as they got more money and took bigger contracts. By the time the campaign ended (due to an unfortunate PSU blowout that fried the drive that had all of my notes/maps/content/statblocks) they had something to the tune of like 25-30 bespoke companions in addition to having come into possession of a small fiefdom.The way I ran it when the number of NPC recruits menat their party was still in the single digits or lower 2 digits, was they were just always around, both in RP and Combat. I did all the RP for them as i knew the backstories/personalities but made sure to only have them speak up when it seemed like they should and let the PCs(as the officers corps of the company) take the limelight.In combat however I would let Players choose who they would want to control when they were hired, and from that point on that Player always controlled them in combat, so they would learn their abilities/role and be able to play them faster, although i made sure to keep their statblocks simpler than a proper PC. I would be sure to balance out how many NPCs a player got control of, letting players with better system mastery/faster turn taking take more, as well as just based on who had a particular liking to the NPC. Oftentimes they would choose ones that their PCs would be more likely to be closer with, so it was like they were controlling little clusters of friends as the campaign went on. Players would also make gear + level up choice decisions for the NPCs they controlled (within reason, i.e a pious character wouldnt use some unholy item or their wouldnt be ability choices available that wouldnt make sense with the characters development)Part 1/2 cost post is getting too long
>>97268523In reality, you usually bench the others and roll with a rotating set of 10 to 20 as circumstances call. Stat gains are randomized in the series, and not every character is made equal with growths and how RNG favors them. So even if they do level with the party some characters can be bricked and turned into bench warmers, Some were never good to begin with. Other characters are just so good they become indispensable.
>>97268609Once the company got large enough to feel unwieldy in the average combat, i started implmenting a few way to try and limit how many men they had in a given encounter. Sometimes it was semi-diagetic ways, like in couple times they were in a siege so there were constant encounters, and healing/resource recuperation in the semi-homebrew system i was using requires a good bit of rest time, so they had to form like an A team and a B Team, even a C Team at later point, to keep fresh fighters in rotation, which limited party size naturally. Other times I would just be above board with them when they were choosing contracts to take and just say "You can select X number of companions to bring on this contract because bringing everyone would get obnoxious". Once they had the small fiefdom, this also felt more natural as the excuse was "some people gotta stay behind to run things.I still occasionally would run encounters with the whole gaggle of NPCs, but usually only some big climactic ones where the players were warned ahead of time the combat would likely take the whole session, if not stretch into a second.I dont know if any of that helps, if you have some more specific questions about how running that campaign went i could answer them.
>>97268661I should add. Actually USING all the characters is usually impossible except in later games. There aren't repeatable maps until Awakening I believe, which is the 13th mainline game in the series. So experience ends up being limited and some games have even more characters. The DS remake of the first game has a whopping 80 something characters to use.
