>>97189712
>and hoping you get a 10+
See you'd think a d20 system would do something like that, but per the rules you need a 16 or 17 to hit anything in mass combat, and the best modifier you can get is a +5, and that's only for one round and one roll if you're in the most advantageous terrain possible.

Here's a non-anime post then for your troubles.
Fishfag is a well known quantity for anyone who is even vaguely interested in ACKS. He's a hateful little retard who has earned the contempt given to him.
Why should anyone treat him with respect or take his opinions seriously when he's outright admitted in the past that any argument he makes is really a guise for "Fucking chuds, reeeee"

You want to take that as proof of a conspiracy, go ahead, but in reality it's just everyone at the pub turning to see Farmer Johnson walking in the door and knowing that he's going to get drunk, shit in the urinal and catch a drunk driving charge in his tractor on the way home because that's what he does every time he comes in.

I mean, that's the basics. For a whole lotta people, the basics are everything they do, and they do okay at it; look at like most of Cammie middle management, Princes and such, and you'll see them center whole centuries of unlife around survival, acceptance, money, power and influence. You could settle for that.

Or you could have some sort of bigger things in mind! I've no fucking clue what kind you're into, and I won't scry for it without asking, but there's as many grand reasons to persist for a thousand years as there are people, y'know? Wanting to find a way to cure some living thing you've ghouled of its affliction, to let it live forever without the need to be your slave, or wanting vengeance against somebody who's as immortal as you, or wanting to right some sort of really big wrong. My vamp-dad, who I don't think deserves a title as fancy as 'Sire', was into occult studies, before a bunch of werewolves tore him apart. Your new family seems to lean towards focusing on the Kindred 101 kinda things, which's fine enough. Frankly speaking, people tend to live longer if they don't get up to anything bigger.

But if you do, and you really want it, best not forget about it, babes.

>>97200590
>You seem to be doing some sort of cartomancy.
I got a special deck of Tarot, yeah. Along with a lot of other methods for scrying. This one is my favorite though.

>Can you tell me what you were doing 3 months ago? You and this Lavender guy
Ooh, nosy.
Me, I was in the city, living it up and handling scrying requests people scheduled. Lavender was at the caern we own, babysitting it and scaring off werewolf visitors, or doing fun rituals at the caern, or feeding his pet cat, or reading shitty books. Or something like that.
if you're looking for somebody, you could always just give me a pointer or two and let me draw a few cards, see what they say about your fugitive. Not like I got anything better to do right now.

So Venus took me to the Prince of NY's office who said "Approved", barely looked at me. Cool. Then we crashed a thinblood party "for my education." Mercury Lamp's dolls blocked the doors, mom grabbed the bouncer with one hand and threw him like a football. The fuck? Am I gonna be this powerful one night?

A short "fight" later, I had half a dozen stillborns in zip-tie handcuffs to do as I please with. Holy fucking shit killing is the greatest thing ever, it's like the ultimate form of bullying, like I lost my virginity again.

Italy. The coterie is Venus in Furs, some childer she keeps as her family, and Princess Charming (Ventrue gf of Blue Fairy). I was their favorite blood doll and trained and waited for my embrace for 7 months.
We moved to Bridgeport, CT, not even a month ago because Venus's pissed at Italy's kindred, kine, roads, climate, everything.
Barring mom ordering my execution for posting here with Boy Toy's phone, and him half-assing it, I didn't have kindred enemies. Mom decided to keep me alive and embraced me in NY as promised. Her relations with the NY Cammy scene go way back, we sleep here so she can teach me the basics. Once she's done we'll go to the Bridgeport Prince then home sweet home.

I wrote a Monk subclass for 2024. Thoughts? Not entirely sure all these spells have been updated for 5.5 yet.

A creature takes damage equal to three rolls of your Martial Arts die on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If a Large or smaller creature fails the save, that creature is also pushed up to 10 feet away from the center of the cube.

>>97201195
There's the Drakewarden subclass, but that's kinda wimpy and you don't even really get to ride a dragon until around level 14, if I remember right.

The existence of trannies is an existential threat to an orderly society, and so they must be opposed whenever and wherever they start to exist. Like the anon up thread, he shouldn't even be comfortable admitting he was diagnosed with dysphoria. Being comfortable enough to admit that is one short step from acknowledging dysphoria as anything other than a mental illness, and from there its a guarantee that people will validate the dysphoria and that leads to the tranny epidemic we have now.

The ONLY way to suppress this degeneracy is to hammer down any actions or thoughts that might lead to trannyism before it ever starts. It must be stamped out immediately, and that's worth getting mad about.

That's fair, I imagine sometime in the future, all those states will merge into Keoland at one point. I might take that into account if I ever run Greyhawk 2000.

>Traveller has sanity mechanics in the Companion, but they are bad, because sanity mechanics in general are bad.
The Alien RPG has sanity mechanics which aren't bad. It's conveniently sci-fi, although it lacks weird powers. You can probably graft some from another Year Zero System game into it easily enough.

>>97201149
Actually, I'll buy that, I haven't had a chance to play Alien yet but that does seem like a novel and interesting sanity mechanic. Most sanity mechanics are "number goes down, and you are punished for interacting with the scenario."

I enjoyed the FFG Starwars system and in continuation genesys.

>>97200414
There are no dedicated joint ops rules in it.
The book has the lore section, the two teams, and a section dedicated to a campaign system. The latter can be used for a PvE campaign, but it's not really written for it.

>>97200984
is the campaign system any good? or just again 5 missions in a mission tree and thats called a campaign?

>>97200993
Much better than that, at any rate. Actually has me curious about running one at my local community, though I'm not sure it'd quite work that well for that.

You basically have a hex map. Each campaign round (of which you play a number determined at the start of the campaign) you can first move, then you play a game, then you can do actions using a supply point system. Each hex is either above ground (open/volkus terrain), underground (gallowdark/tomb world terrain), and each one upon being explored can have one condition that affects the exploration part of the campaign and one that affects games played in that hex. There are also blocked hexes, which are self-explanatory.
Pretty simple all in all. What I personally like about it is that it's not a race to a single goal; instead you play the set number of full rounds, then each player gets awards for stuff like most kills, most hexes explored, most supplies used etc. Makes it more narrative in a way that doesn't impact the gameplay.

The example setting that comes with Basic Fantasy RPG has the monotheist Bethite faith and a lot of druidic and natural religions that worship deities that might or might not be just local spirits .
There are two competing Bethite sects with very different doctrines and theologies, and I find it pretty funny that clerics of both of them still get get power from their God equally.

The former Imperial Cult and countless kami would like to have a word with you.

Traditional Buddhists do not deny the existence of gods, who will all eventually die and seek refuge in the Buddha dharma sooner or later, but there is a significant difference in understanding between a layman reciting Namu Amida Butsu in the hope of being born in a Pure Land through even one sincere recitation and Christian of Gnostic belief in a supreme creator deity or monad. Lest you lead others astray through your over simplifications, gnostics very much believed in a creator deity who created material existence only this demiurge was not supreme.

In the oldest biblical texts, Yahweh possesses attributes that were typically ascribed to deities of weather and war, fructifying the Land of Israel and leading a heavenly army against the enemies of the Israelites. The early Israelites likely engaged in polytheistic practices that were common across ancient Semitic religion, because the Israelite religion was a derivative of the Canaanite religion and included a variety of deities from it, including El, Asherah, and Baal. Initially a lesser deity among the Canaanite pantheon, Yahweh likely became conflated with El in later centuries, taking his place as the head of the pantheon in the Israelite religion. El's consort Asherah became associated with Yahweh, and El-linked epithets, such as El Sadday, came to be applied to him alone. Characteristics of other deities, such as Asherah and Baal, were also selectively absorbed in conceptions of Yahweh.

As Israelite Yahwism eventually developed into Judaism and Samaritanism, and eventually transitioned from polytheism to monotheism, the existence of other deities was denied outright, and Yahweh was proclaimed the creator deity and the sole deity to be worthy of worship. During the Second Temple period, Jews began to substitute other Hebrew words, primarily adonay ('My Lords'), in place of the name Yahweh. By the time of the Jewish-Roman wars, namely following the Roman siege of Jerusalem and the concomitant destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, the original pronunciation of the name of the deity was forgotten entirely.

Unironically correct. The image of "cliche fantasy" where the main characters are all peak human ideal and generally beautiful and (comparatively) ethnically homogenous only existed for a few brief decades between the mid-1950s to the mid-1980s and can't even be thought of as the default anymore, since starting in the late 1980s fantasy portrayals shifted from idealizations to inclusivity and the characters became doughy and ugly to be more "realistic" or with cartoonish physiques like 40k/WoWshit.

Fantasy settings being medieval NYC (replete with NYC people renaissance fair cosplaying) has been the default for basically 40 years now. Settings with realistically attainable beauty and non-left wing cultures, whether it's a perky set of tits or a greco-roman style city with a noble monarchy and minimal amounts of freakshit races mingling together are now the outliers and deconstructions in fantasy, whereas muh cosmopolitan multiverse melting pot of "normal" people is the tired generic fantasy cliche setting.
