Every time I search for a cool "barbarian" in some RPG, no matter if it's dark fantasy or not, it's always the half-naked dude or chick that looks like he / she has just wake up after an university party.It gives the same vibes that you get from watching an historical film and for some reason, the filmmakers hate natural colors and must put a filter that ruins your immersion.Is it there a good RPG with proper "barbarians"?
>>96463086Anon, while is true a number of tribes wore no armor and even little to no clothes, all the Roman art is propaganda. They obviously chose to depict stuff in a way to make their accomplishments more heroic and epic.
>>96458618Barbarians are = anyone not Main™ nation. Which is almost universally is a version of the medieval Europe, or sometimes not!Roman Empire.Against that, every other primitive civilizations are barbarians, from celts to arabs to finns to gooks.They're all less refined, speak nonsense and act retarded.That's the gist.
>>96458951>do not try to fool classics majorsSo, when your advisor told you there would be jobs waiting for you if you get that Classics degree.....
>>96457768DND made them super lame with the >rage x number of turns per dayabsolute bullshit.
>>96457822I've been saying this for years. A core mechanical failing of DnD has been the proliferation of unnecessary classesBarbarian, Monk, Paladin, and Ranger should just be subclasses of FighterWarlock should a subclass of SorcerorBards should be a subclass of Rogues.Artificers should be a subclass of Wizard.Druids should be a subclass of Clerics.

>>96463850Because in that text "Vehicles" is referring to the type, which is a proper noun, and "crews" and "stations" are used as verbs.

>>96464476if this was true then why isn't "instant" "sorcery" or "spell" capitalized here?
>>96464735Because those are card types, Vehicle is a subtype. See cards like Tough Cookie, where Food gets capitalized but artifact and creature don't.

Alyona would be VERY interested in learning about real (or "real") Japanese culture. I get the feeling Yaya would be treated very protectively by Alyona. Anyone who tries to bully her is going to get reprisal.

>>96464665Most merits are overpriced or niche. Every now and then you get some outliers like Enchanting Voice that feel like must picks for a type of character.
>>96464665Merits are like most thing in WoD ruleset - extremely poorly balanced. Most are garbage, some are useful, and rare few like Lucky or Eidetic Memory are absolutely busted.
>>96464369All the crafts in M20 plus all orphans and hollow ones uniting to become the disparates. I'd say that the treatment crafts get over the different editions is a thinly-veiled metaphor for what minorities and niche cultures go through, but the writers probably don't see the irony at all. lol
>>96464665Hot take. More things should be overpowered. If everything is busted, nothing is.
>>96464593I think the main problem with the whole Hecate thing is that I can't see Giovanni, a clan of merchants and necromancers that clawed it's way to the top among vampires, actually showing how weak they are these days by allying with their own enemies.Like, a few years ago they had 20+ million wraiths imprisoned and they were getting ready to cause a nuclear apocalypse. The only thing even worse in V5 is Lasombra and how nonsensical the whole "joining" Camarilla is. Nevermind the Camarilla's demans.>>96464665Most Merit and Flaws aren't worth it but are there to give flavor to your character.
Hi, i want to try new systems for a low fantasy/no magic medieval game, and im interesting about the ones that only use D6s. Can you help me?I want to know the name and something positive and something negative of it. It doesnt matter if its simple or complex. Many thanks.
>>96429520>>96429681NtA, but I didn't find GURPS to be that scary. I have several sb's in my offline cache (The Prisoner, the Autoduel trilogy, the Cyberpunk trilogy, Callahan's Crosstime Saloon, Lensman) & pair them with GURPS Ultra-Lite to understand some rules notation.If you don't want to go in whole-game, I find the 'rules-lite' or quick-start rules to be helpful, & the GURPS sourcebooks can stand on their own when it comes to basic lore.
>>96451915It is great. Works best for short campaigns though, going by the vanilla rules makes characters grow quite strong quickly due to +1 in attributes being a major addition and careers being very broad in skill checks. .
>>96448650That is indeed the wrong place to look. You want the Bare Bones edition pdf from drive thru (it's free). BK edition is unfinished. Teeeerrchnically you can use dodge in melee at a -5 but it's almost never useful to do so.

>>964636324th was designed to be played with thought-out tables that look like battlefields in the 41st Millennium instead of the tabletop equivalent of TF2 Orange maps.
>>96458347I think in addition to the actual problems with the core rules, dislike for 5th gets - justifiably IMO - amplified in groggy circles because it's also the edition that began GW's modern embrace of named characters. They had tried mostly dropping the "opponent's permission" prohibition on specials already, but the community largely continued to enforce it themselves, and 5th was GW saying>Oh you won't get on board of your own accord? Fine you ungrateful fucks, now all your subfactions fun flavour rules are tied to a specific dude, howdya like dem apples piggies?
>>96463665>>96463763Yep we knew modern terrain rules where ass, but this level suck assery was not expected. The few times we played at my place I live rather far away so the carless folks have a hard time getting here there is very noticeable difference to how games are played.

>>96460847We know very little about the box overall. If you're just starting out, the Combat Patrol and/or the KT teams are a good starting point. As a new player, you don't really want or need the terrain as most places you will be playing at will already have terrain and the DW team is not a necron team. It will take a bit for the new stuff to get ported to the codex if you are interested in more than just Kill Team.

Deathwatch aren't even a bad team to have as an alternative, they are peak "strong statblock without too many abilities to track" so they are decent for beginners.

>>96462926You can't take both the plasma gunner and plasma pistol on your leader. Most opt for the gunnerFlamer is not great on open boards, maybe better on ITD with lethal, but often left behind since you can only have 3 total gunners/sharpshooterEnforcer is basically an auto-take for enabling your gunners to shoot twice in a tpOgryn is fun but depends in the matchup. You may want 2 troopers instead (group activation krak grenades are mean)Blooded token/gaze of the gods management is key.

A lot of stupid fucking faggots have been posting some bullshit about how AI art is "good" and "fine for the hobby". I am here to tell you, no, you are a FAGGOT who will not pour BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS into his game. You know what AI slop is? You coveting the ability of others and compensating by using tools. You are a fool with an automatic drill acting greater than a true carpenter. Continue down your path. One day you will awaken and see yourself in a pit of disingenuous tar. An inescapable muck that you have built into your home, a fitting place for a wretch unwilling to unabashedly display their love for their fellow players in any form. Anyway, post art from your campaigns. I need to update this, but its mostly my current party. Goblin and the orc died during the end of the last dungeon.
>>96463904But you aren using a tool, you're commissioning something from an electric idiot.

Should every aspiring GM read Appendix N?
>>96462268>those are reasonable fantasy suggestionsExcept that they're not.Lanier, Weinbaum, and Brackett are all SF authors, and some non-fantasy genres too. Blackwood wrote ghost stories and while ghosts are make believe, Blackwood's stories weren't fantasy genre. Several others on that list wrote fantasy and SF but are best renowned as SF authors in addition to their work in westerns, non-fiction, detective, horror, weird fiction. Gygax at least specifies Conan, sparing you the westerns and boxing stories her wrote (a lot of which are better than all but the best Conan stories).
>>96461612>Should every aspiring GM read Appendix N?"Should" is tricky here but I'd say that while a good chunk of that list is worth reading it could stand some significant improvement.I've actually been spending some time here and there cobbling together a big infographic about what I think is worth reading and/or stealing from for GMs, but organized by genre/relevance and with a focus on foundational elements and tertiary and/or older works. Death in the Silent Places, for example is not only not fantasy but non-fiction and is still a fantastic book for GMs to read.
>>96461612>>96461655The one from the AD&D DMG is slightly different.
Why would I? I don't run d&dogshit.
>>96461684>audiobooks countCount for what? If you're reading for some imaginary stats, you're missing the point. For me the ideal form of book is paper > ebook > audiobook, but each type has its uses. I'm not gonna take more than 1 book when traveling, and audiobooks are great when I'm painting minis, hiking or doing some other physical activity that leaves the other part of my brain to get bored.
Godbound is an RPG I have played and GMed since launch, in 2016. I have played and GMed it a lot. It is one of the games I have played the most, and also the one game I have had the least overall success with, as much as I like it (though not its mechanics).It seems to be the perfect storm of an RPG wherein everyone at the table is near-guaranteed to have a nigh-irreconcilable vision of what the game is about. I have never, ever seen this in any other tabletop system. From what I see, it is far harder to have a cohesive group in campaign in Godbound than in most other RPGs.Great freedom, grand scale, demigod PCs: a recipe for different people wanting vastly different things.At least with, say, a grid-based tactics game, everyone has a roughly similar vision of what they are signing up for. Indeed, grid-based tactics RPGs are where I have found the most success. Besides them, I have had reasonable success with PbtA and cousin-of-PbtA games, because of their greater focus.I do not like Exalted as a system or a setting anywhere as much, but it has plenty more built-in expectations of what the PCs will actually be doing together.Godbound stresses, time and time again, that it is for sandboxes. The word "sandbox" appears 25 times in the 243-page core rulebook. This is the most salient passage:>This is crucial because most Godbound campaigns are sandbox campaigns. The GM has built a setting with a great many conflicts, villains, heroes, sympathetic bystanders, long-standing afflictions, and fabulous rewards to be seized. They've brewed up a starting session to thrust the pantheon into a crisis situation to help you all warm up to the game and the setting. Beyond that, however, the game's progress is your responsibility. Your goals and your choices are going to be the things driving the game, and while the world will doubtless react to your decisions and have its own share of ambitious actors, the heart of the game is about the new world your hero is making.
>>96455253Thanks for clarifying, what are the pros and cons of the system in your book?
>>96461067Pros:+It's based on DnD, including the parts that actually worked well+It adds some more things to the parts that worked wellCons:-It's based on DnD, including the parts that worked like shit-The quality of the additions is all over the place.To use an analogy, it's like if a cook whose favorite drink is water and whose favorite food is plain white bread, tried to make a copy of a popular recipe book and expand on parts he felt it was lacking. The result would be a book that's not gonna be outright bad, it's just very bland.
>>96461067(he doesn't actually know)
>>96461112Careful, anyone who fails to praise ACKS risks being harassed by an angry gamelet sperg.
>>96461112Thanks for clarifying. If only the creators had picked a better base system.
