If you created an Amazon setting, what would it be like? By Amazon setting, I don't mean a single society among many where women are primarily the fighters, I mean a setting where every society is this way.
>>96829489ahem
>>96830684What am I looking at?
>>96830810the amazons from the game "The Nations"big strapping dudes who can only look for food or look for a new wifeand tall barbie body ladies who do everything else
>>96830680should the women being amazons put them at the same level as men, and thus you have an romantic fantasy where a husband and wife can be true equals and do everything together as soulmates, along with stuff like hobbies and gender rolls now being shared instead of divided?or should the women be outright stronger than the men, leading to females being the dominant ones?
>>96829489You're not thinking your worldbuilding though anon.If the gender roles are reversed, you could, and should, reasonably expect the normative conventions of social beauty to shift too.Irl we tend to prefer strong, capable men who protect and provide, and dependent, vulnerable, but still hardworking and committed women.If we assume the society idealizes strong, capable women who protect and provide, it's not unfair to assume the male ideal is someone that's vulnerable, dependent, but hardworking and spirited.>Inb3 'but I like muscle women'.Diverse preferences will always exist. But social conventions of beauty also exist.

I know it's been like this for a while but goddamn. Old WOD was awesome and even hardcore to some fans. But TTRPG's in general seems to have been striped of it's edge and is now attracting someone of the most cringe inducing players. I used to think it was good thing that TTRPG's are gaining traction and still do but man....I dunno maybe I'm just the weirdo. INb4It's reddit fuck off.

What genre is not well represented? What kind of activities in session just don't have a good rules set? What kind of game would excite you that you think isn't available?
>>96830204>it totally works!>as long as you change everything that makes it not work and create new rules that reinvent all the rules that get in the way...Yes, and? It's good to see that you're finally starting to understand the idea is stripping D&D for parts to get a system going by actually considering if you NEED to reinvent the basics instead of insisting on trying to tightly fit everything with clean-sheet work.>So, it doesn't work and your entire assertion is that you can make a class system that fits other genres, but only if you reinvent and combine all of the rules and mechanics for classes, powers, spells, how and when they are acquired, and so on.And you lost it, it's specifically that it isn't ALL of them. How often do you think a class+level system DESPERATELY NEEDS to use baseline rules irreconcilably alien to D&D's history? How much TIME do you think writing a mana-pool magic system from scratch takes versus replacing the terms the Expanded Psionics Handbook uses and rescaling its PP numbers to fit? Identifying analogies in systems you're familiar with then looking to see if those rules can be fitted keeps you actually making a system instead of wrestling with premises for it.>All to prove that point that being able to translate power level, in some cases, to character level, is a totally valid reason to make the same mistake every retard makes, and adapt D&D into something it wasn't meant for.That block of self-replying was specifically to highlight otherwise; Most of the mistakes stem from rigid adherence to D&D-proper with things like Vancian spellcasting and class design paradigms, while I'm constantly saying to be fine with changing and outright removing parts AS NEEDED.
>>96830585You are operating under the assumption that your idea to clusterfuck together random rules and ideas from multiple editions of D&D will result in time saved or that it is otherwise just better to use D&D's rules and fudge the gaping chasms to make things fit into the gaping chasms where the long list of built-in design assumptions for D&D do not work for a given genre or series. Saying you can just take something from one edition and rescale it for another edition doesn't actually mean that works or that such a task would be easy or quick or that the powers attached to that system would work perfectly, meaning you'd need to then readjust all of those powers and add or subtract from them over and over until they fit the premise you were attempting to emulate in the first place.The reason this is a mistake isn't just because D&D and the d20 framework maps poorly to practically everything else that isn't meant to be dungeon crawl high fantasy combat treadmilling. It's because people have been doing that for nearly 50 fucking years and it never turns out well. Every idiot, like you, believes that it's just so easy to just nudge and tweak the game a little to fit Naruto or DBZ or HxH or whatever they happen to be enamored with at the time, and not a single one of them has made a genuinely good game in the process.It is an inherently flawed and foolish premise, no matter how much you try to convince yourself that there's already enough material there that will work. You will only create more labor for yourself and the final product, if you even make a complete game, will be kinda terrible at best. It's not only a warning that your idea won't work the way you think it will, but advice not to waste your time trying. Especially when other people have already done it and either failed, or made something so radically different that to call it D&D at all is silly. Mutants & Masterminds already exists and does nearly everything you're so sure you can do anyways
>>96830729>You are operating under the assumption that your idea to clusterfuck together random rules and ideas from multiple editions of D&D will result in time savedCompared to trying to come up with a mechanic for a concept from scratch, oftentimes yes.>or that it is otherwise just better to use D&D's rulesNo, merely that they can be a viable point to start.>and fudge the gaping chasms to make things fit ... where the long list of built-in design assumptions for D&D do not work for a given genre or seriesGiven how often this is just replacing the content or dropping non-entagled subsystems, yes.>Saying you can just take something from one edition and rescale it for another edition doesn't actually mean that worksThe rescaling mentioned is about shifting Psionics to the use-rates desired so you can not have to write like ten paragraphs of basic shit.>or that the powers attached to that system would work perfectlyAgain, content can be replaced, and in fact SHOULD.Comment too long.

>>96830877Making a homebrew game or using another, even another preexisting d20 system is unthinkable, but gutting and frankensteining together arbitrary chunks of D&D subsystems, optional rules, and wholly original content that you'd make yourself is a good idea and worth arguing about for days, huh?You really are retarded.
>>96830965>Making a homebrew game>gutting and frankensteining together arbitrary chunks of D&D subsystems, optional rules, and wholly original content that you'd make yourselfThe former is the point via the latter, and the pattern of behavior need not be constrained to D&D as source material.

>>96830556Based on the directory, there are only a few near me and only one accepts anything beyond vampires. In any case, I'd need to scope out the scene to determine whether I'd gel well with them.
>>96830479>What was preventing them from returning to Arcadia when nobles did not have that difficulty.The Arcadians only got back to Arcadia in a panicked fight-or-flight evacuation to the last portal still open that was actively crumbling - unless you were House Eiluned and saw this coming early. They only came back after a world-shattering event (the moon landing), and their muddy memories imply it was more being exiled by their buddies back home for whatever reason for most of them.Also, no matter how any Changeling tries to scrub off Banality, being on Earth post-Shattering in a human body means you have what's called a "Banal Shiver" in your soul, and any methods to remove it would most likely involve losing your mind to Bedlam from overexposure. That wedge causes Arcadia itself to actively reject attempts to find it, and supposedly there are armies of those true fae who made it home on guard in the Deep Dreaming, prepared to kill their own to protect the last Banality-free place in existence.
>>96830956It's funny that they blame Christianity and the Renaissance when according to Dark Ages Fae, it was their own damn fault for trying to use that faith as a weapon against each other.

Who the fuck is that?
>>96829083After watching his video about ttrpgs it game me the impression he just reads other people's reviews of games instead of doing his own research.
>>96830903Watching that video now. He's clearly gone through most of them, or at least skimmed them, otherwise he wouldn't have dozens of examples from each one to bring up as part of the video. It's also an hour and a half long and I doubt you'd really want him to do a cover to cover breakdown of each and every one of these games.
>>96830979He's also definitely more of a Boardgame kind of guy than a TTRPG kind of guy.
Have you ever had a fun experience on a game you joined on /tg/?
>>96830976I have joined and hosted several /tg/ games. Kill Team, 40k, Mordheim, Lancer, 13th Age, Pathfinder, 4e . Apart from the pathfinder crowd I had a great time. It used to be easier to recruit/find a game on /tg/ its silly that that isnt what this board is for anymore
Yeah, joined an international group playing WFRE 4e. Was actually fun, aside from the awkwardness of all of us being strangers.The GM didn't show up for a while and after a couple of weeks, he said he was running something else for different people. So it ended relatively early.
I'm trying to make a campaign where the party is taking a sea route around the east coast from Alethkar to the Reshi Isles (pic related), and I'm trying to come up with stuff to fill in the gaps of travel time and the different visited locations.

These men thrive in the thrill of the fight, dropping in with precise infantry strikes followed up with an armoured strike from their armour division. In times of extensive campaigns the Canines call upon auxiliaries from a world in the Brontë system called the Blackwoods, a jungle world home to the Ivory Devils, a regiment of Ogyrns and Jungle fighters.Thats about it mostly, for their inspiration they take heavy inspiration from the novels Wuthering Heights and Heart of Darkness (thats mainly filled by the Ivory Devils), they also have their squads named after british folklore hounds (such as Squad Barghest for example), the attached picture is the army I took to a GTMy favourite unit in the army so far is probably the Rogal Dorn affectionately named Nelly (the maid from Wuthering Heights who recounts her experience in the novel), with her Tank Commander being called Hindley (another character from Wuthering Heights).

The traitor marines are having to piggyback off of the achievements of others in order to make themselves look competent, and they are just as in the dark about the looming threat as the heroes.I hope GW doesn't force there to be chaos wank in the Dark Heresy game.

So, the question is - what game does each subsystem best? Alot of Fantasy Heartbreakers have come to market recently and I've been reading some classics like Hackmaster. Part of me wants to staple everything together DTD style.
>>96825358The best place to start is to ask if a game could be improved by removing a subsystem, or just making it part of the core system. The answer is usually yes. You are done creating when there is nothing left to remove.
>>96827750Yikes.
>>96825358Retroclones & NSR do all of this better than modern D&D and it's reskins. They're way easier to hack and staple together too. Best bet is to read games and find out what you like from each. That's why there is a million retroclones.
>>96827739>a duckOne of our games had a Mycelium that died in the first round of the first combat. He rolled another character but the spores were still hanging around on the party's clothes. Unfortunately the campaign never finished so we never had the chance to play out what could have happened to the spores but I liked the idea.
>>96830557We had a mushrooman myconoid alchemist in our party when we were raiding the kobold/tiamat themed megadungeon. He was a guest character for two or three weeks but he is fondly remembered- i kind of DMPC'd him to justify getting the party more healing potions. What class was your mushroom person?>>96830438some of these subsystems need to be closer to the core of the system. Designing a full scale economy is very difficult.
