Actually this is somewhat true too, since the warp does have sympathetic points where entering and exiting is easier than elsewhere.
Though most of these points have already been mapped out in regards to specific subsectors.

So in this manner, you are better off jumping around world X and then travelling to the world Y in realspace within a subsector. Voidships have big engines for a reason.

If you are well-connected and powerful enough to steal a Warrant of Trade by force, you are already powerful enough to simply petition the High Lords of Terra for a Warrant of your own. That said, if you happen to acquire one that isn't in your name in a ruined space hulk or something, there's nothing stopping you from changing your name and pretending to be the last living heir of a dead dynasty or something. Nobody in the Imperium would be able to prove otherwise.

I'm pretty sure the Rogue Trader chapter on the core rulebook mentions a warrant of trade that grants powers to whomever holds it to ensure only a powerful agent has it. Warrants can have any number of restrictions and boons.

It's only SAFE to enter and exit at specific points, otherwise gravity will rip your ship apart. This is the mandeville point, which must be far from any stellar objects.

>world X and then travelling to the world Y in realspace within a subsector
Anon this post is so wrong it's negligent. A subsector is a collection of star systems. Realspace is only feasable within a system, and as per Stars of Inequity it takes a ship on average 5 weeks to reach the center of a system.

The thread to talk about Super Heroes/Villains/Spies/Agents/Rogues be it in spandex or not.

Popular Choices for Games:

>Mutants & Masterminds
Currently the most played one, uses a d20 resolution for everything, has powers building and rules for tactical combat.

>Marvel TSR/ FASERIP
Classic Supers game from the 80s, still has a lot of fans and various retro-clones. Uses a d100 with an universal resolution table to decide the degree of success, has random character generation and abstract rules for powers and combat.

>Masks (PbtA)
Rules light game with focus on narrative. Less rules reading more making stuff up on the moment. Game is built on the concept of playing as young heroes but you can use it for more mature settings.

To reiterate one of the most recurring themes of this thread: rapid industrialisation, haphazard and ruthless urban expansion and the resulting mixture of genuinely hellish poverty, and the birth of the foundation of the modern prosperity existing right next to each other.

New methods of production were being invented seemingly year by year but their biggest benefits were usually concentrated in hands of the richest. Poor were seen as disposable resource to burn through, the acceptable sacrifices on the altar of progress and industry. But simultaneously, the mass production offered new possibilities to actually manufacture goods for people and the new worker movements were springing out like shrooms after a rain. Notably, this time of incredibly manmade hardship laid down foundation for prosperity of modern age and did genuinely start getting better with new inventions in later half.

I still watch from time to time SC2 and SC games and one of the most common things that happen is that people started playing SC, try SC2 and rapidly go back to SC. Hell people that never played SC when they where kid so no nostalgia goggles and started playing the game with SC2 try SC and eventually leave SC2 behind.
SC2 is an objectively worst game than SC, even kids that grew with nothing but modern game eventually stick with good old SC finding that things like the retarded pathfinding of the Goliath or the Dragoon to be a skill to master than a flaw of the game. Which is odd coming from kids that usually get frustrated easily.

That’s a good point. While I don’t mind the mini heroes like the totally not Rambo characters, I don’t wanna see Calgar in every game. I’m not super well versed in 3rd ed but I do know that in the core rules it mandated that you ask about special characters. They took that out in 4th Ed and it’s one of the only changes I can think of that is for the worse.

I know I'm already flirting with cringe because the whole Batman/Joker thing has been played out for like a decade now but I've been kicking around the idea of a Demiplane of Dread for D&D loosely based on Gotham (But probably more Victorian), Batman and Joker. Before you roll your eyes too hard, I've been kicking around the idea that the Not-Batman is a Straud-esque Dread Lord of the Plane. Why would a hero be a dread lord? Because he actively subjects the world the horrifying freaks of the domain by refusing to do anything to stop them permanently. He's well aware of the death and destruction, and he likes to wax poetic about the virtue of not killing, but there are inhabitants of this domain who have been almost murdered multiple times and have entire graveyards full of family members because he passively let them die. He will actively fight people trying to end villains harder than the villains themselves because they justify his existence.

I think this kind of Batman deconstruction needs more than inaction. It hits harder to emphasize how he actively punishes those who upset status quo, which is based on canon with how many times he unnecessarily saves joker's life from lethal vigilantes. Or maybe take a page from mystery men, so he secretly busts his villains out of prison to stage heroics and assuage his boredom.
>>
>>96467857
Basically
If batman or !NotBatman was the main boss full stop he’d just make sure that people CANT escape Arkham or it’s equivalent. But a dread plane is basically a personal hell so maybe the dark powers made him a lord but torment him by constantly breaking his villains out. He’s not the warden guarding over a prison, he’s the circus clown that the powers are bullying. He could put his villain in a fucking adimantium coffin with the imprisonment spell on top and the dark powers would pluck the !NotJoker or !NotBane right out to cause shenanigans again. The reason he stops people from killing the villains might be one accidentally died (like penny pincher or some shit) and it made everything MUCH worse. So he’s in a damned if you do damned if you don’t situation that while he waxes poetics it’s just to mask the fact that he’s just on a Sisyphean crusade that he can’t escape
>>
>>96467768
If he doesn't have an ounce of belief in altruism, then you could use a reason given in Punisher/Batman. In a way Joker analyzes the difference between the Punisher and Batman is that they got their trauma as an adult or as a child. From that point of view, Batman is playing a game of pretend with more risks.

However, would that make him evil? Eh...Not too sure.
>>
>>96467972
Thing about Dark Lords is that their personal Hell is 100% deserved. They're just as much wardens as they are prisoners. If it was altruism, he wouldn't be a Dark Lord. Strahd legitimately cares nothing for anybody whatsoever. Strahd doesn't even 'love' Tatyana, he just feels entitled to her. So the horrors being the villain Dark Lords who keep escaping, and him being a major obstacle could maybe work. That allows him to keep his altruism, while also being a threat.
>>
>>96467972
Yeah. In that sort of setup, any villains he did kill would probably just come back as vengeful undead, or some random citizen would suddenly decide to become their successor.

In the context of a Dread Plane, what >>96468022 said is also true though. Which means that this not!Batman needs a more malicious motive or to have done something wrong.
It could work if rather than simply not killing, this not!Batman thought that the current legal system was insufficient. Jailing someone wasn't enough, killing them made it over too soon.
So instead he tortures people. Cuts off fingers and limbs. Sets up overly elaborate Saw-traps in order to try and inflict additional vengeance and make them suffer like their victims did. Which in some cases might work for petty criminals to scare them into obedience, but in other cases it just results in a crazy person getting even more crazy and wanting revenge.

Basically, make it so that the cycle of villains actually is directly his fault, because rather than not killing them for a positive reason, he's doing it so that he can torment and punish them even more.

Previous thread: >>96346915

GURPS 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?

>HP x10
>no hit zones
I'm not sure why you wouldn't want hit locations, since that is one of GURPS' selling points for a lot of players.
Although, I suppose if you gave all students Ablative Force-Field DR equal to 10xHP, then you'd get a similar effect.
Hit locations only matter for wounding modifiers, injury effects, and DR on different locations. Students don't wear armor, so DR will be uniform anyways. If damage doesn't penetrate DR, then wounding modifiers and injury effects won't matter either.
If you want students to be able to suffer Shock and Major Wounds even before DR is depleted, then you might make the DR flexible, so a small amount of damage still gets through (1 per 10 points for piercing damage, which most guns do).
Whether you want to go with ablative DR or high HP depends on whether you think halos should act like a depletable force field, or a physical enhancement that just simply makes students more durable overall.

I want students to get shocked by damage and low DR on halo, I want them tocrisk dropping unconscious, but no major wounds. I could mirror HP rules for halos, with "death rolls" on negative DR to check if halo was shattered or not.

Flexible DR isn't the right type. Halos protect against blunt damage, crashing, even against flamethrowers, but illness, hunger and so on bypass halo completely iirc. I guess you could kill a student by boiling her alive or freezing her to death.
