>>96458890I look forward the clips of Brennan doing some shit that knocks the players off their guard. Very few of them have actually played with him, and he's good at taking their shit into account and then using it to create shocking moments.
>>96461400>I look forward the clips of Brennan doing some shit that knocks the players off their guard. Very few of them have actually played with him, and he's good at taking their shit into account and then using it to create shocking moments.I've never watched this slop and so accept the possibility you're being serious. Do his "shocking moments" ever result in a liked character being permanently killed? No? Oh wow, le epic repercussions.
>>96458890Better question is "can it be good?"
Itt we help each other find a system that fits given setting.I'm looking for something fitting Blue Archive lore. Expectation:>combat-focused>handles gunfights well>has cover system>hitzones unwelcome>crits should do extra damage, but no additional effects>can handle vehicles, combat robots, artillery>can handle big bosses>allows for some gun autism>no magicOne guy suggestes using Cyberpunk 2020, but I think it's a bad idea.
>>96445474NTA, I guess just shiling. It's not a bad system, tho.
>>96446030Alright, thanks then.
OP here55 bucks for basic GURPS pdfs is absolutely insane. I know I could pirate, but, y'know, wanna play fair.>>96427222Also, this is an issue.

I'n surprised at how few SC members we have desuStudent council my ass, it's two peopleThat shit's the student elected dictatorship
>>96461406Student presidency
>>96461406There was going to a few more prebuilds, at least a treasurer, but they haven't appeared yet.
>>96461360>Not sure if you saw my pre-build post a while back about Reiji asking Madoka for martial arts lessons in order to get closer to a student council memberI don't think I did. Could go either way. She herself tries to avoid swordsmanship in whatever ways she can, but that doesn't mean she's successful. And yeah, she likes swordsmanship more than she'd like to admit to herself, she just sorta psyched herself out. Got it in her head that she can do more good elsewhere and prioritized doing good over herself... Kind of. It's messy and I'm still ironing out the details there myself. It's also one of the main plotbeats for her as a character. So good eye- you caught me red handed, kek.Tournament could go either way, yeah. Reiji's plan backfiring, or an just a big company vying for power, with Reiji trying to mitigate damages in his own way. My kneejerk reaction was to suggest that maybe it was originally an Onguuchi family event and the Kurobane group simply wormed their way in, but it feels more dramatic leaving it as their own, brand new event. More potential for political kino, you know?Lots of directions to go with Reiji's mother. Depending on the story there it could also shape his and Madoka's initial relationship. It could have been a bitter old rival, a straggler who never fully cemented their influence (and thus was easiest to take over), or a familiar ally who the Onguuchi's frequently had ties with. Could even turn out that the two have some minor blood relation if the last one's the case- like maybe one of his grandparents on his mother's side was an Onguuchi... Either way, the other old money families not being fond of his mother does seem reasonable, so whatever the fine details the relationship is likely strained.Lots of ideas to play with, really... Though on that note, I'm off to bed so I'll be catching you and Kazu's anon next time. Probably.
>>96459948I don't care if he's up in the top tiers since my focus was more on the non-Idolon stuff, but I think Reiji works as a pretty solid tank. He stands there with Aegis III taunting and force pushing enemies away as they get weaker and weaker under his Crushing Will. It's definitely more coherent than I thought it'd be after I was done with the regular character options.>>96460988Reiji is extremely guarded with girls because he assumes anyone interested in him is either after his money, was sent by his family to spy on/manipulate him, or would be a vulnerability someone could exploit if he got too attached. Definitely no harems in his future. Though he does see things very clearly when it comes to matters that don't involve himself, so he actually gives quite good relationship advice. He just might encourage you to ruthlessly destroy any romantic rivals in your path if your feelings for someone mean anything.>>96461275Yeah, I'm not yet familiar enough with her as a character to have thought of the catalyst for that sort of interaction; the end of the scenario is just what popped into my head. Reiji is good at quickly identifying people's utility and finding opportunities that others overlook. So even in a negative interaction, she wouldn't be a "nobody" to him, if that makes sense. Which might be enough to make the day of someone in Rin's headspace.>which could go either "dad is an overworked wagey" or "lost their business to the superconglomerate". Which one would you think would be more accurate?I think either would fit just as well on my end. Kurobane Group is a holding company that's been slowly buying up everything over the years, and the average worker is an overworked wagey. Her family losing their business might be the more compelling of the two options for Rin though. I guess it depends on what you'd rather write for her family struggles. Not sure if that's very helpful.
>a grown man roleplaying a female character
>player is an active redditor>player mentions some meme they saw on bluesky>before the game has even started or been discussed in any way, player is proposing their character build and what kind of special powers and options they want me to allow
The matter of the fact is that red flags don't matter. It's red flags all the way down. You just need the strength as a GM to kick out problem makers, or if you are a player to call out problem makers and to just walk away if nobody wants to kick them out.
>>96457086Nta, but I am a little bit gay yes.
My friend has played one (1) male character out of over 50 I remember. All the rest have been female characters with vaguely similar looks (might just be his artstyle) but also very diverse things from monsters to mundane humans. He doesn't roleplay them with voices or anything, nor has he (except once) had his female characters do anything sexual. IRL he is asexual, aromantic, etc. I don't know if I should expect him to come out as trans in a few years. Tbh it's not even really my business but it does make me wonder. I can understand playing a female character once in a while, for me it's a big no-no as a PC, as an NPC certainly, and I do admit enjoying it. It is nice, on 2 steps of removal (both "it isn't me" and "it isn't even supposed to be a proxy of me") to play a female character. It's nice to include cute girls in your setting, as well as just normal women who would be part of the setting and any DM would include. When I used to DM for my dad it was intensely awkward to include ANY female NPCs and I only did so once. Now that I am older, in my early 30s instead of mid teens, that awkwardness is gone. But I still will not play a female PC, nor do I really feel any desire to.

So I'm making my setting for my Beyond the Wall game, and I'm just curious what do you guys use for inspiration. Myself, lots of Conan, Tolkien (not dunedain, rohirim, the orcs) Dominion 6 (my principal inspiration at the moment), lots of real world folklore, tales and stuff (like the Narts, Spanish folklore, Tibetan bon) and this or that stuff of different books (I love tribal stuff and making tribes inspired in different stuff, like I have a tribe of skinners than wear the pels of the Tribe of the wolf,wich are locked in cosntant war in the not-siberia). But what about you guys, what are you using? Anyone has a good recomendation for tribal stuff, or resources to make a city-state/tribe/village adventures?

Rokugan is saved /tg/.
Just got the Children of the Five Winds. Pretty okay, better than the shit in Writ of the Wilds.Super Natural Encounters are pretty good addition, and does represent the inhuman aspect of these beings when you fuck up etiquette on them. Meishido is also pretty good.Kinda sucks that they're still focusing on Non-Rokugani schools, and they're still kinda unimaginative. I can't really see their uniqueness or flavour unlike the earlier schools in Path of Waves.Plus side I really like the elemental gimmick for Kitsune Naturalist. It kinda sucks for a master ability, but I do like how you have to rotate your stances to represent seasons changing. One more book left and hopefully we have enough fa/tg/uys working on it to reverse engineer the system.

I’m thinking about MtG more because of the new Duskmourn jump. And I feel like it’s a trap because the more I think about MtG, the more stupid everyone and everything in it is. Like look at Thunder Junction. It is apparently a trade hub with no resources or geographical advantage, and yet despite being some shitty desert it’s a vital junction to a bunch of places just because. Why isn’t that Ravnica, the new centre of the multiverse? Just because Omenpaths lead there more often? Why? Is it literally just Niv-Mizzet propaganda? And speaking of Omenpaths, as a replacement to the Planeswalker spark they are really, really shit. Supposedly they just open and close at random (unless you’re a bullshit mage who can see the order inherent in chaos) except when they don’t, and for NO REASON they presumably all have little stopovers at Thunder Junction instead of leading directly to another plane? Also why the FUCK is the Aetherspark considered a vanity prize instead of a goddamn superweapon par excellence? Has everyone just forgotten the raw power of a Planeswalker even once diminished to NuWalker levels, and how they were all used as fuel for the Elderspell? Do people just not address the risk of Omenpaths closing and thus stranded in some horrible interdimensional space? The entire setting has been hit by multiple apocalyptic events recently and this random group is just waving around the basic means to reignite one like a fucking Cartier diamond. What is wrong with these people? Why did the goblin turn on the stove?The best thing I can say about MtG as a setting is that it’s very easy to feel intelligent in it when everyone constantly acts pants on head retarded.
I still have faith in Anon's Dragonblooded dupe.

from what I've seen this just makes me want to write my own mech game
>>96442947>always curious how other groups deal with some of the weaker plot points of that bookWell, since the thread has devolved I don't mind going into some spoilers. As a general rule, I avoid modules, because they never seem to meet my needs as a GM. But I got into Lancer during the beta, when Wallflower had a lot of neat ideas that were still being nailed down. The finished product (or half of it, ha ha ha) wasn't great, but by the time it came out I'd already decided to use the book as a rough guideline and take advantage of all the fan-made assets like maps. I made further plot adjustments as I recruited my players and determined what they were interested in doing with their characters.First, I de-emphasized the conflict between the Hercynians and Evergreen. They speak mutually intelligible languages, so the misunderstandings can only go so far. "Why did you send a robot army to kill us?" "There's a robot army out there?!" In its place, I had one of the NHPs (Mendicant-2) trying to false-flag both sides into war. The PCs figured this out during the hunt for Venom, clashing with a Hercynian patrol that was also hunting the sniper. My PCs wanted prisoners to question, which meant that they didn't kill any of the locals, and that paved the way for an accelerated diplomatic solution.>nice to have a party that cares about doing the right thingOur initial PCs were a skinny spacer kid that was a budding Empath (designed/piloted pic related, though token made by another player), a geologist (and eventually human-egregorian hybrid) from Evergreen, and a badass pirate-hunter whose family had just joined the colony before the fighting started. The kid got up to some Gundam-tier melodramatic "We're not your enemy!" shit, which was a big help to bringing peace between the colonists and natives. The other PCs, once they realized the misunderstanding, backed the kid up.
