I can totally imagine that. I've seen anons like that. Especially on /adv/.
It's just that the comic itself is more mixed and measured than one entirely directed against Howie would be. So, it's generous if that's true.

>>96471203
In my experience it's a combination of laziness, not taking responsibility for their own anxiety, and lacking the skills to properly break things down into sections to learn and build on. A lot of them are straight up liars who don't really want to play a TTRPG, they want people to suck their dick about how awesome their OCs are and how unique their world building is, but see TTRPGs as an easy way to get their super amazing novel written cause otherwise they'd have to struggle and focus and take critique to develop skills as a writer.

>>96475745
But by wanting to pet a dog, Howie indicates that he knows what it means to pet a dog. And with a simple action like that there are no intermediate steps: the instructions on how to do it are merely a description of what it means. Her only expectation is that he knows what the word he's using means, which is more or less necessary to carry out any sort of conversation.

>Good GMs also have strong social skills, they are eloquent, and they are quick-witted. You can run a session without these traits, but it will remain a session (singular) because the players will not want to continue. One small example from years ago: I joined a one-shot where the GM suffered from constant vocalized speech pauses ("Uhhh, "Ermm", "Eehhh, "Huhh") and it drove me nuts.
Totally disagree. Sure you have to have some oratory skills but those can be acquired in an hour of yt tutorials, at most.
But after that you only have to be able to say what happens. No social skill involved. Heck you don't even have to voice NPCs just summarize their reaction and you're good. In my over ten years of GMing I haven't encountered a situation where it wasn't immediately obvious how the world might react, outside from some premade settings where I didn't have the complete lore in my head.

I've run an LGS for decades and it's more likely that two guys will stand beside each other, holding 40k boxes, and one asks you "how do I find people to play with" so you point at the guy beside him and say "talk to this guy, he likes 40k" then after like 5 minutes of them chatting you say "hey you guys should swap numbers and text each other and setup a game"

You gotta herd cats man, if you sit there reading a book in an LGS chances are nobody will walk up to you and say anything, they'll figure that you're busy reading

It's hard to say what edition this is because of all the LRB editions as well.

Technically, this is the third edition of GW's revamp. But I suspect it's going to just get called 2025 edition, same as most of us called it's predecessor 2020 edition.

Ah well... I was really hoping GW had forgotten about this one and another five years the community could have taken it back again and fixed it. I guess we'll have to see how bad it is when it arrives.

Attributes are definitely a weak point for gurps

>What attributes do your game use?
Pic related is an example
>How do you use them?
Point buy system, stats go from 1 to 10, but it's a d12 system. Initially you get 9 points to buy Mind Body or Soul (=), then you get double that available for (-) and (+) of every stat. In general terms:
> - : Passive i.e. Passive Mind -> Resisting Intimidation, or Passive Body -> Blocking an attack
> +: Active i.e. Active Mind -> Trying to learn something, or Active Soul -> Throwing a fireball
> =: Neutral or fallback value, for whenever you are not sure if something would be passive of active. It's also used for other calculations in the game
Items and magic have a similar structure, but with type of damage and stuff. Everything was made to be easily created with in seconds, I also have some scripts ready to make it easier.
>How many before it become too many?
Whenever you are unsure of which stat to use, it's already too many imo.
>How few before it is not enough?
If the game feels like a Power Point slide when it comes to calculations then it's probably not enough.

My system was thought for a play by post system but I've also used it in person just fine.

>>96476950
Good idea. I would recommend that skills should involve specific actions pertinent to what the adventurers will be regularly doing rather than comprising a comprehensive list of every conceivable domain of knowledge. Start with a small list of useful skills and add more through play testing.

>>96472190
Maybe so. Or I do as this poster says:>>96473706 and just accept that it's nothing like history and myth, kind of bugged about that though, since one of the strengths of fantasy when it works is you feel like you're experiencing something some what connected to our real past. I cope a bit by knowing that many things are more modern inventions than you think though and still feel "authentic" until you learn about that they actually weren't a thing before, like the modern conception of vampires as nobility was never a thing, even if it feels iconic. In other words the "authenticity" that I think is being channeled by certain authors who I think are informed by history and myth may be more bogus to begin with than I want to admit.

That's cool, but to make the fight feel more climactic instead of the dragon just getting weaker and weaker I'd give it some sort of enrage state or new ability once it loses the secondary heads to make it so that you're making progress but it's still the most dangerous it's been at the end.

How is my 5.5e divine soul sorcerer looking? Anything obvious I've missed or fucked up? I was thinking about getting shield/bless but don't really want to cut any of the other spells. I like magic missile because my DM regularly has enemy spell casters and it forces a lot of concentration rolls but it could go without too much difficulty. I have a lot of concentration spells but bless is still pretty amazing for a 1st level spell.

The party is a: dwarven battlemaster fighter, elf soulknife rogue, human oath of devotion paladin

They're all at least 600 years too modern

Definitely pinning. I haven't tried the bendy technique from >>96477765 but if you have plasticard you can build up some thickness under the base (or on top of the base in the case of the flying stand for my gyro), so you can have a longer, sturdier pin.

>He's robbing banks so he can buy more chemicals off the black market so he can make more fear gas.
Okay, but how does Scarecrow, or other mad scientist villains, get the materials and equipment they need, especially if they want to avoid the notice of the heroes and/or law enforcement? Not to mention if they're trying to avoid doing shit like robbing banks in public to avoid attention for something big.

>>96472009
What I said above.

>>96477502
How do drug cartels get their grubby mitts on the guns, lab equipment to cook meth with, and other stuff?
The answer is relatively simple — intermediaries. Everything from gun runners to "doctors without morals".
Any capable villain usually attracts a swarm of various fixers, logistic specialists, and even street gangs.

You're thinking too reductively. Villains don't exist in a vacuum.
Rather, they find or create a niche for themselves within the criminal "ecosystem".
Like any other ecosystem, it needs someone filling every level of it to remain stable.
From street gang plankton, and all the way to the apex predators — the supervillains.

Which version of Marvel Super Heroes should I play, Basic, Advanced or Revised?

>in the middle of an international move
I've been there.
It's a great opportunity to try some new techniques, therefore buy some equipment which you don't already have, so that you don't end up with duplicates when your crates finally arrive.
Another option: Depending on how quick you work, 3 months can give you enough time to complete a project. So, for example, if you only ever made buildings before, now could be the time to make a battlemap.
The materials you'll need for it will be mostly stuff you don't already have and which will be used up for the project.

I think the lore is over all better than SotDL. A lot of it is the same broad stroke foundations given the love it took years for it to get in SotDL.

>>96474554
From what I've seen Rob made it so gishes are actually viable. Power increases with your group level instead of paths level so picking a magic path later on isn't a trap anymore.

>>96475509
Gishing in plenty doable with the reworks to Adept in SotDL.

>>96475755
NTA but it's been viable for a lot longer than that, since core it's been viable. Spellbinder is basically all you need on top of Rogue or Priest. What hasn't really been viable is mixing non-Power with Power Paths because of how badly it fucks spell progression. That's something that's been fixed in SotDL.

Why the fuck Schwalb writes basically sotdl adventures for weird wizard? They all have the same tone as DL ones missing only the stuff about no good endings in conclusion.

Starting up a solo campaign to get back into the groove of DMing and remembering procedures, generating NPCs and whatnot on the fly. This shit is fun. Gonna be getting a proper group campaign rolling in the near future with friends and looking forward to it.

>>96477759
>ose is like b/x or ad&d, depending if youre using advanced ose or just the classic stuff.
That's a common misconception.

OSE-Classic is not "like" B/X, it is pretty much exactly B/X, minus the examples of play. Great reference manual, not very suitable to learn the game.

OSE-Advanced is not like AD&D. It is still B/X but with extra charbuild options, monsters, and treasures that are vaguely inspired by AD&D but heavily modified. And, more importantly, it omits practically everything from the DMG, which is what really defines AD&D.

If you want to play OSE-Advanced it's fine (mostly), but don't delude yourself that you're playing AD&D.

(Also, you're replying to bait.)

>>96477726
Obvious False Flag bait is obvious.

>>96477874
Good reply but it bears clarifying that while B/X can be a good way to take baby steps toward AD&D, that's not the case with AD&D 2e, because while the core engine of OD&D, AD&D, and B/X is the same, AD&D 2e messes with the most important core mechanics. So if someone wanted to play AD&D 2e, B/X would not be a good introduction to it --- if anything, it would be the opposite. (Which is not a bad thing.)
