This looks awesome so far! And yeah just small patches of trailing scales (and her wings when she gets to the right level to manifest them). I don't think the ability gives other dragon traits (unfortunately). She has bright purple eyes and pointed, but not super long since she's a half-elf, ears. Maybe they could poke out from her hair just a bit? For her chest, maybe a c cup? Bigger than the average full-elf due to her human blood, at least. Anyway as long as she's not a super-hentai elf with her boobs bigger than her head it should be fine lol. For muscularity maybe a bit of tone on her arms and legs since her top leaves her arms pretty bare. She'd probably have visible back muscles but only when she brings her wings out. She's not really like ripped or anything. Despite CON being her second best score she is still a squishy caster with like an 8 in STR lol.

This is pretty cool anon! Thanks for your interest in Val. I can't wait to see what you do with her :)

Alarmingly underweight researcher wearing hover-suit prototype, high-tech metallic full body harness that glows faintly, she's hovering inches above ground, picture of perfect mental health - shaved head, bags under eyes, sickly pale, burn marks/track marks/scars on her arms.
She's either naked besides the harness or is some minimalistic underwer (in either case, straps of the harness conveniently do the necessary to maintain basic decency).
Her expression is absolutely triumphant after radical dieting and some serious tinkering she managed to get just enough lifting force to get off the ground, validating tremendous effort she put into the project, didn't even need to cut any toes - which she absolutely would do if that made the diffirence getting the liftoff.
Hell, if you can be bothered doing a background, throw pair of industrial bolt cutters in the corner and whiteboard scribbles estimating weight of toes.

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?

If they are just hallucinations induced by the equipment, then that's just a flaw in the device, same as how NODs can give temporary disadvantages like Tunnel Vision and No Depth Perception. You don't need to make it buildable with the advantage / disadvantage system because it's just gear.
If they are real entities, then they have some kind of Invisibility (or maybe high levels of Chameleon or Obscure) which doesn't work against this extremely specific technology. A web search says that the red night-vision made heat visible, so it seems like some kind of Infravision. I guess the demons could just have Invisibility in the visible spectrum and not IR, although that raises the question of why they only appeared in this specific instance. Maybe they realised they were being observed and improved their invisibility spells or something?

Where does the idea that the Imperial Guard are elite come from? Some of their regiments are literally recruited from Feudal Worlds where the local have never even seen a lasgun before. A good chunk of the regiments are noted for using primitive tactics including WW1 tactics, Napoleonic style warfare, and even pre-historic barbarian savagery. Their lascannons and flak armor might be good by today's standards but they're not good by the setting's standards, they're not even good by the Imperium's, and everybody else has the armor or toughness that makes the lasgun utterly inadequate. Pretty much every conflict of note ends up requiring Space Marines to pull them through, even conflicts against the fucking Tau which are like 1/1000000th the size of the Imperium.

I mean, I believe it’s about a third of Americans own firearms, but many will shoot it once or even never.


your point is mostly right. you can teach someone to shoot a gun safely in a few hours, teach them to shoot okay in a few days, teach to shoot competently in a few weeks, and teach them to be warriors in a few months.

a lot of the “elite”ness is a representation of how much money an organization is willing to put into the individual. training is very expensive.
>>
>>96482859
>Where does the idea that the Imperial Guard are elite come from?

From two places.
First, it comes from the fact that generally speaking, across the entire Imperium, there are only two "professional" armies of regular humans; Planetary Defence Forces and the Imperial Guard. Generally the PDF are given only the bare minimum of equipment and training and will probably only ever see actual combat if one of two things happen; if their planet is attacked, or if they're conscripted into the Guard.
Part of most planets tithes include soldiers for the Imperial Guard, and the first place they start taking them from is the PDF.
A Guardsmen who has been in the guard for 2 years and seen combat is much more experienced, and hence "elite" then a PDF trooper who has been in the PDF for a decade and seen no combat.

Secondly, because you, like the people who say the Guard are elite, are cherry picking your examples.
When the people who say the Guard are elite, they almost always talking about particular Guard regiments, or Guardsmen from a particular world, like Cadia (who are often portrayed as being the best of the stock-standard Guard), or Catachans, or other more prominent Guard regiments/planets .
Where as you, you are talking about the Guardsmen from backwater planets that are less well know and fall more into the 'Random conscript grabbed to fill the tithe quota. Basically like this anon >>96491358 said.

Okay, now let's talk about the operations going on literally every fucking week that you never even get to hear about.

Besides, it's not that SF are special for Matt-Damoning their way into Nuke killstreaks. They're special because of their extreme endurance, will to push on, and capacity to remain composed under critical circumstances, which is what their selection and training screens them for.
>>
>>96487202
>Flak armor is about as tough as the Tau’s combat armor
Tau combat armour is carapace and pulse rifles are better than bolters. Their standard grunts are better equipped than Imperial elites like Scions.

>and the Imperium has bigger, better robots and tanks than the Tau
Which are very rare, in terms of the average stuff the Tau make vs the average stuff the Imperium makes the Tau stuff not only blows it out of the water in every way, but is also fully understood and replaceable without any issue.

>and they’re biologically stronger and faster and smarter than the Tau are.

Stronger and faster, sure. Smarter? There's more than enough reason to believe the opposite considering virtually every Imperium vs Tau engagement is the Fire Caste explicitly outsmarting the Imperium to even the playing field.

I have a strong suspicion you're just baiting though.

>>96470252
DnD is super party focused so adding mechanical interparty interaction without actually raising the pvp flag seems like a very coherent idea.

Combat and balance issues are deeply rooted in the game and also in player preferences that fixing those is going to be an impossible task. Do you want combat as a sideshow, babby's first tactical game, full on minichess or a mudshit wargame?
>>
I DMed it and I'm preparing a short campaign. It's a very nice system that actually breaks up the slow combat, but you NEED a good group with that one faggot hoarding the spotlight. It's very nice that the DM can react with negative consequences and even double turn in combat if he so wishes. Everyone on the table enjoyed that in combat I made actual boss fights with different creatures, tanking, debugging and buffing, and one big asshole in the back line who can resurrect fallen mobs by marking a stress. It's great only for established tables. If you try to run it with complete strangers, you are playing russian roulette with a shotgun.

The issue for me is that Tolkein was deliberately evoking the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic epics and associated mythlogy that he spent his life researching. 'Middle Earth' is even an old Anglo-Saxon term for Earth, similar to the Norse Midgard.

This is why the other parts of Middle Earth don't get any detailing. We don't need to go there because they aren't part of the Anglo-Saxon myth cycle.

When you attempt to turn Lord of the Rings into "contemporary America but it's medieval fantasy" you are stripping away the heritage and culture of Western European people, denying them their stories and removing the original mythological/cultural context.

This could be fine if it happened to other groups but nobody is telling "Sun Wukong except in Africa" or "Anasi but it's a white guy" - and even if it were applied equally, you would still lose something - you'd still be removing a story from its people and origins in order to cater to a modern, globalised view of the world as one people, one group.

Why do traditional games seem to attract the most socially undesirable people?

Not trolling, I seriously would like to get to the bottom of this. I don't get it, tabletop games are social in nature so why do they attract anti-social weirdos, you expect these types to stay at home and video game. Why are some games MUCH worse that other when it comes to players, ie. Warhammer 40k is worse than historical Wargames, compared MtG to Chess, etc.

Is there an explanation for this phenomenon?

You have them right now, but you won't.

I don't know where this idea comes from, that the issue that keeps you from self-actualization is lack of knowledge on some secret to success. You're fat because you're lazy, you don't have friends because you're too socially anxious to talk to people, and you're poor because you're too dumb and/or lazy to get a college degree in a well-compensated field.
