Which setting has the best version of Egypt?
>>96386860>>96457161A few cool things about Ancient Egypt, specifically, in contrast to other "bronze age" states or the stereotype:- The Nile's overwhelming importance. The terrain of Egypt is not "deserts and oases," it's basically a giant line that creates a 1 dimensional country.- Until 1960, the Nile would regularly flood every single year, slowly washing away any buildings. Bad for archaeologists, but a cool and unique thing you don't see elsewhere.- Egypt was, in fact, not always politically unified, nor was it an ethnic monoculture; the Hyksos (probably Canaanite settlers) took over north Egypt, at the same time the Kushites were pushing up from the south, and probably they formed an alliance to buttfuck them- Chariots. Horses hadn't gotten big enough to ride them to war yet, is my understanding.- They quite often had pet monkeys.- They thought basically every animal was sacred to some god or another. While the Greeks no doubt exaggerated this in some of their accounts, it was a real tendency. Crocodile cults were more common in rural Egypt, though they were found mummified in Thebes and the city the Greeks called Crocodilopolis.

The spicier the better. I'll start to get the ball rolling: MTG, DnD and Warhammer are actually good for the hobby. They get new people started in this hobby and they keep the trend chasers contained and away from the rest of the hobby.Appealing to the normie masses is a necessary evil in order to keep what you love afloat. Even if it comes with the negative baggage of doing so.Generals are good for /tg/.

>>96487291>>96487396Both of you are right, those things aren't mutually exclusive.And speaking of people who should board game instead:What I love covid for (other than setting legal framework for home office) is that so many, many people from the three groups I've played in realised they don't really like TTRPGs and are fine playing board games. This way I get the remaining few people still into TTRPGs into a single group and we are having a blast ever since, with full dedication to play and time-table.

>>96495031D&D 3.5e, although I hate the community.It's the version I've grown comfortable with and the one I taught to the 3 friends that bother to even play "D&D".My only real complaint is the fact that high levels are a hassle, and it's unfortunate because my group really likes epic play. I've been experimenting with a few homebrew rules here and there with mixed results thus far.The only saving grace is that they all prefer martials of the "weaboo"/wuxia variety, so having to manage a full spellcaster PC from breaking the campaign is a rarity.
>>96495031Would fuck bottom right's thoraxussy.
/tg/, I'm designing a campaign for my group.The campaign consists from three acts. As a whole, they cover levels from 1 to 20.What happens in the first act is immaterial for this thread.In the very beginning of the second act, however, they will meet the big villain of the campaign, who decides that they're going to be a threat to his master plan and immediately kills them all right at the end of a gruelling dungeon. The player characters then go to Valhalla, meet not!Odin and then return to life with a divine quest. Half of the second act will involve fulfilling this quest to pay not!Odin back for their resurrection. The other half involves revenge against the villain.Now, obviously if they just reveal themselves, they'd just be killed again. So they'll be gently suggested to assume false identities and infiltrate the villain's massive army of mercenaries in order to foil his plan from the inside. By the end of the act, the villain's army will be gone, his personal power extinguished, and then he'll die as the final boss of the act.That's the idea. However, I keep thinking about how it'll actually go. I have 7-9 dungeons in mind for the second act. That is a lot of sessions spent under secret identities, while everyone believes that they're dead. While the undercover arc could potentially be interesting, I'm also seeing the potential for it to be very exhausting to actually go through.Should I just pre-emptively cut the "undercover" part to just 1 or 2 dungeons? It's going to be pretty difficult to change them on the fly, if I see that this story is not working.
>>96494869a lot of old modules were just like that.I've run some one shots that requiered a preventive "there's gonna be a big weird ask near the start, please play along because there's cool stuff after that". I think that meta stuff is fine in a one shot with a clear cut off time and everyone knows they have to pick and chose when to go wacko. In a campaign you get one big condition at the start, like "I'm running satanic mob intrigue in magical 1930's Kansasm, make OSE characters". Everything after that has to come naturally out of play. I believe OP could in theory make most of his plan work, There's a reasson why campaign modules exist, it can be done. I think the details are cliche and bad and will end badly, but ruining campaigns is part of the hobby.
>>96495088are your players being nice to you and saying yes to whatever to keep you happy or have they given up on playing a game where they have control over their lives?>I know them well enough and can manipulate themsure you can, Light Yagami. It's not at all that they are being nice and making an effort for you, you're just a master manipulator.
>>96495188>a lot of old modules were just like that.Who the fuck uses modules?No, seriously. Who uses that stuff? I never understood it as a business model or even an idea. Like why the hell would you not just write a "scenario, ready to serve", but, more importantly, why would anyone want to run something like that? Why would you remove the only interesting part of being a GM from yourself?I'm in this hobby since mid-90s. And I just don't get the sort of mindset it takes to grab a module, not to mention those psychos that do nothing, but modules. At this point, a GM might be literally replaced by a voice syntesizer. Not even AI to run, just someone to read the script aloud.>I've run some one shots tOne-shots are a different breed, because everyone present knows this is for here and now and there will be no continuation, but also no alternatives than what's prepared. This does enforce following through with events, simply because there is literally nothng beyond a pre-planned game that is already happening. Said that, this also means it can legitimately wrap up earlier, because players might still decide to do something the one-shot wasn't prepared for or actively refuse to follow, as their decision. Which concludes the one-shot and is an option.> I believe OP could in theory make most of his plan workI believe OP never in his life run anything prior, but read a bunch of trashy novels. Not even modules, just fantasy literature as such.
>>96495227you don't run modules like a robot, you take parts you like and see how much you can use or maybe you take out parts for other uses. There's a limit to a single person's creativity, both in quantity and variety, so you suplement with other people that did cool stuff you like. Just like an orchesta plays Mozart, a jazz band plays standards, paintors replicate famous paintings. You learn from other people, steal things, maybe suplement part of the work someone did better than you so you have a better space to add your own stuff or a set up you wouldn't have though about.
>>96495270You realise that at this point, you might just run your own thing... right?Hence my confusion why people keep trying to use those things.Sure, I understand them as a business model - fleece random idiots that have no clue - but that doesn't mean they are viable for any use.You'd think that people would figure out decades ago. And yet here we are

>>96495172I know I'm a minority here but I don't mind armies being same-y. I would actually prefer all unit profiles being built based on the universal and public unit calculator so the differences between armies were based on thematic archetypes created by using specific abilities. That would make creating custom armies so much easier as well. Guess I will simply download all 3.4.4 army books and keep playing with 3.4.1 rules since me and my friends are happy with the game as it is and we don't play at LGS anyway.
>>96495211Ehh, a lot of things are still up for change and the core rules will stay the same. I also liked how you actually had units with no special rules on their profile, but the OPR team decided to listen to the people who complained about the lack of flavour and now it seems like every unit has to have at least one special rule. Really dumb if you ask me.
>>96495249OPR used to have a unit calculator, right? Do we know the formula used to calculate unit costs?
>>96495283It is still available. However, the point costs for 3.5 are still up in the air because it's still work in progress.

Previous thread: >>96346915GURPS 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 (follow the URL to get to a folder with some files, read the files to get to the archive). 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: What is your opinion on the art in GURPS books?
>>96494224How rude!>>96494230That does sound pretty dumb, maybe I shouldn't make my fighter be that dumb. I envision him as being dumb, but maybe not "spends 4x more time to do basic tasks" dumb
>>96494245I'd recommend either IQ 9 or IQ 10 with some appropriate mental disadvantages (Hidebound, Incurious, ect) that can represent a character who's not a very thinking sort without being directly mentally handicapped.
>>96494270He's like a natural dumb minion, like bulk & skull from power rangers (a bit of a low IQ reference itself but I can't think of a better example).I'll go for IQ 9 and disadvantages instead of IQ 8.
>>96494050Borderline clinically retarded, IQ around 70-75, mental age 8-10, unable to handle higher education, essentially unable to function fully in modern society without some degree of assistance, but can manage basic household tasks, work at a job if the employer is tolerant of frequent screw-ups, probably has a social worker or probation officer assigned to them, and/or is being exploited by criminals on at least a regular basis, maybe constantly. Can't understand serious abstract concepts, but able to grasp at least a crude version of basic ones like morality, symbols, analogies, etc. Poor at maintaining separation of acceptable public persona and private thoughts. Low impulse control, unlikely to have savings, lives 'hand-to-mouth'. Probably has an extensive history of at least petty crime or dangerous behaviour. Can superficially present themselves as normal or even intelligent but (smart) people will eventually realise there is something wrong.

It doesn't matter if it's space opera, cyberpunk, sci-fi, fantasy, contemporary, or whatever. Feel free to throw your own setting into the ring, but make sure to post pictures of your babes and tell us a bit about them. No sloppa, we have standards. Mindless image spam will also lower your scores, as we don't just evaluate appearances, but character as well. The setting must be playable.Mr. Doom will serve as our judge.
