Is fail forward a cop-out, or is it a valid GM tool?The real answer may surprise you.
>>96583456GM can still veto their suggestion, retard. A player can't just say I ROLLED AN OPPORTUNITY THE SHOPKEEP GIVES ME A MILLION DOLLARS AND THE SLOPPIEST BLOWJOB EVER XDDDDDD, it's just a resource that encourages flexible thinking. Hell, the GM has to call for a Raise the Stakes roll in the first place, save for a few skills that allow PCs to force one.Cosmere pulled the concept straight from genesys and streamlined it down to a d6 to make it less fiddly.
>>96585738>GM can still veto their suggestionIt's not a suggestion, it's a dictate, fucking moronic sped learn to read.
>>96575384If you have a investigation game it's 200% necessary, players will miss the clues or make up red herrings from nothing even when they do everything perfectly, imagine how fucked up you would be if they missed half of them because of dice rolls
>>96575438It works so bad on practice, we just don't use it in our current Cosmere campaign.
>>96576266every success with consequences is failing forward but not every failing forward is success with consequencesconsequences are the important part here

>>96590501That's very tame to some of the degenerate freaky shit that you can find women goon books. It's absolute filth.
>>96590529Reminds of some articles making the case women are just as, if not more, porn-addicted than men, it's just that nobody notices because it's buried in "romance" novels
>>96588500Couldn't they just work off those SM Heroes sculpts from some years ago?
>>96590539>women are just as, if not more, porn-addicted than menoh definitely, it just manifests slightly different than for men. All most guys need is a nice rack and/or fat ass, but for women the entire dynamic around the relationship is a big part of it too. But in the end, men and women aren't so different after all.
>>96590540that is what i wish, but the retard who is going to make the new sculps will probably try to give them his "touch"
What do you think could be THE sport in a scifi space game? I believe that spacefaring civilizations should have their futuristic equivalent of soccer, a sport spread everywhere that can be played in a small scale among kids as much as absurdly huge events with tons of money exchanging hands. It should be in zero-g to make it feel space-y and it should be complex to the point people in the outside don't get what's going on.But I don't really have a picture of what it could be like. I've toyed with having sport stars at a station or a big match interupting time sensitive discussions, but I always fear players actually wanting to join in even though that'd be great. Whatever system is fine, I'm interested even if it's not gonna be something I could insert 1 to 1. Purely conceptual ideas are fine too.
The only space game I run is Mothership, I haven't seen anything sport related except racing and it wasn't too interesting.I'd try to include interactions for every stat, so it feels like the rest of the game instead of constantly rolling the same thing. In this case it means there has to be:>strengthmaybe wrestling? >speed this is the easiest one, getting to the other side of the field>intI guess this could be used to calculate a shot? It's not realistic but it's something.>combatGuns? Non lethal amunition... or maybe lethal?then the saves get harder>SanityMaybe if you get hit really hard and lose all direction you might need a sanity roll to get your bearings>FearComment too long.

>>96589229yeah the stuff could be at an all time high now, ive sold a bit just in case that is the case. What reason do you have to think gundam/sorcery are at their peak price? Do you even know anything about either game?
>>96590244Gundam has no legs and won't be played in five years. Original set will likely hold some value but I wouldn't bet on it for anything else.Sorcery is intentionally trying to be scalper heaven. There is no player base, it's all investors. Which means the bubble will burst and nothing will be worth anything, someone will be left holding the bag.
>>96590143Yeah theyre fine and comparable to dragon shield clear classic. I would still choose nearly any dragon shield over them for playing more than a board game occasionally though. Great value for putting in a binder or box. Wouldn't pay more than 11usd
>>96590421again where do you get this? gundam is the game people talk about in this thread more than any other, it is outselling one piece, its a bigger franchise that has been around for longer, there are numerous reasons for it to stick around. also i don't you you know anything about sorcery the city i live in has one of the biggest communities there are in person events like 4 days out of the week from the dedicated player base around here

>>96589912You're welcome.
>>96589869Maybe Laurelorn elves, too civilized for the ooga boogas of Athel Loren.
>>96590113wrong thread. anon said "wood elves", not "Wooued Aelves (tm)".
>>96589485>>96589777aright. gonna take a few to compile in to human readable form. it's been worked on by me and my group for ages so it's spread across multiple documents, notes, hieroglyphics, a chunk of it is just shared assumptions. but I'll give some summary since every design decision you make is bound to be a red flag for somebody.>How to make a listyou start with the Commander (ie caster), who has a points/slots for stat boosts, spells, abilities, and perks (basically lores that unlock groups of abilities that need to be balled together). All the different caster types share a set of common core rules and are differentiated by what they control and how those things work. strictly speaking it doesn't even have to direct-control things or be a spellcaster, it's possible to make a commander that's just a really skilled general or something if you want.what's allowed in the commander's battlegroup is based on the options you took during design. and the you do other battlegroups led by officers who use basically the same system but have fewer points/slots, and then their battlegroups. so typically it would be B1 - warcaster + jacks + support, B2 - officer with a unit, B3 - officer with a smaller unit + couple solos. you can scale up the number of battlegroups for different size games. and the officers can also be junior casters or whatever, lots of options.>Game Flow / Structurethe way we've been doing it is alternating activation by battlegroup. technically there's nothing stopping it from flipping back to pure IGOUGO but I like this better. when a battlegroup activates, everything in it takes its move then action in an order of your choice. Everything also wants to stay in the commander/officer's command bubble except for some extended range shit, so usually shit stays together and you don't have to worry about forgetting which things are in which group.
>game is about playing as a pathetic little goblin maidIs there really a market for this?
>>96573071Maid has a great idea but it's actually pretty terribleI have contemplated making it into a dice pool system like Shadowrun just so a stat of 1 isn't totally crippling.

How do you handle interspecies crossbreeding in your games?
>>96586038>it's entirely possible for the larger of the two to roll numbers the other can'tThat's also why I thought it might be neat but then I actually worked the probability out. Clearly you didn't bother to double check the probabilities despite me pointing it out, but I'll be nice despite you being a mathlet and work out the probabilities for you:For 1dA and 1dB with A<= B, the probability of any single outcome is 1/(A*B) and the total number of different outcomes is A*B. Impregnation occurs when the numbers match, there are only A possible ways this can occur and A* 1/(A*B) = 1/B.To give alternative reasoning: for every number you can roll on the 1dA, there exists a number on the 1dB that can match it. The chance of rolling that number is 1/B.
>>96586243I get that the dice share numbers, that's why it happens on a match and yes a d12 has four sides that could match a d4, but you also get times where say a captured elf cannot be impregnated by the goblins that took her despite goblins being fast breeders amongst themselves. I suspect it may be an "all squares are rectangles" issue based on which die we assume is setting the target number for the other. If we say the female die is setting the target for the male we get the earlier "elf rolled an 11 and goblins can't do better than 4" but reversing the genders gives us "goblin rolled a 4 so her elf boyfriend has the same 8.3% chance he would with another elf"
>>96587157The probability of the event does not depend on the order you choose to roll the dice. Sure, you can assign different narrative significance to a particular order but the probability is exactly the same. It's clear that you aren't able to understand the mathematics, so I'll explain it by your own example.Say a goblin has a d4 and an elf has a d12. 2/3 of the time the elf will roll something that the goblin can't match. 1/3 of the time the goblin has a 1/4 chance to match it. Therefore, 1/3 * 1/4 = 1/12. Let's say it's the other way around. The goblin can roll any number in 1-4, the elf then has a 1/12 chance of matching that number. Same thing. The probably is always determined by the higher dice, order doesn't matter and the smaller dice doesn't matter either.
>>96587669How would you do it then? So that fast breeding races get/cause pregnancy more often and slow breeding races less often? And that some days two very different races just aren't going to make a baby no matter how they try?
>>96587882I was going to give a detailed suggestion for this but I got caught up analyzing the dice because I wanted to understand the exact numbers. Based off your description it sounds like the actual situation you want is: Low dice are more likely to fall pregnant than high dice (fast breeding), Highest odds of falling pregnant with someone when the dice are the same. In order to achieve that using a similar idea you could do 3dA = 3dB. I did some dice simulations and as far as I could tell that works as described though I can't give you a formula for the probabilities. 2dA = 2dB doesn't work super well for some reason.

Ok, I'm trying to make the maps with the icons in the file. They work well, but I have to make them with a white background. Either that, or I need to clean up each of the icons so that we could use the sepia background.Either way, here is the desert map I came up with. Rather rough around the edges, so feedback will be appreciated. Here are the basics.>DESCRIPTIONThis is a very big map. There are 15 oasis, each of them with a randomized number of water tokens (between 1-5). The rest of the map is covered by sand dunes, mountain ranges and giant desert bones, breaking the wide desert from time to time.The players start in opposing sides of the map, in the upper area. Meanwhile, there are also multiple "Sauropod herd" and "sauropod juvenile". They will move automatically to the closest oasis with water tokens remaining, take as much water as possible and move on to the next. They will move from south to north, unless a player attacks them. If a player attacks a "sauropod herd" unit, it will try to flee from the attacking model for at least a turn. If a player attacks a "sauropod infant" unit, all "sauropod herd" models will charge the attacking units, and won't stop chasing them for at least three turns.>OBJECTIVEThe main goal of the map is to get the most water tokens. The players will have to compete with each other and with the sauropods to get as much water tokens as possible. You can get water tokens from the oasis (each time a unit reaches an oasis, rolls a d3, and takes as many water tokens as the roll establishes) or from the enemy units (if one unit kills another with water tokens, they take half of the water tokens it had, with the other half considered lost in the fight. If it's a ranged kill, the water tokens fall into the desert floor, and each turn they are unclaimed, half of the tokens are considered lost until none remain). Once there are no more water tokens left on the map (either in the oasis or left on the floor), the game ends.
>>96587244Other ideas for the map. >The priority of the sauropod behavior is: chasing whoever attacked the juveniles first, then fleeing from whoever attacked the herd, and then moving towards the oasis. >The road the sauropods follow is the closest possible to the nearest oasis, taking into account the map's obstacles.>The stats of the sauropods should be strong enough to be impossible to kill more than one in a single game. That way, the strategy goes into both sending the sauropods fleeing into oasis near the other player, or distracting the sauropods away from the oasis by attacking the juveniles. >The dinosaur bones could give you some random effect, but I don't know what could work in this. >If by the end of the game, both players have equal amount of water tokens, the player with the biggest amount of silver left wins.>A unit can only carry 3 water tokens at most per hexagon (as in, a 1 hexagon unit can carry up to 3 water tokens, a 2 hexagon unit can carry up to 6 tokens, a 3 hexagon unit can carry up to 9 tokens...).

Either that, or I need to clean up each of the icons so that we could use the sepia background.I don't know if that'll fix it to your liking, but what I've done is first place a white hexagon grid, then the terrain, and after that another black grid but with some transparency. Otherwise that's a really cool idea. I don't see any problems with it from a mechanical point of view
1st quick setup instruction page for the TTS mod (I guess it could also be useful to add it to the main rule book at the end), leaving some space if I think of stuff to add to it, I'll be doing another one with the main Actions and mechanics (that one will probably be very useful as a quick reference sheet) and another one to guide players if they want to go beyond the very start, NPCs, Scenarios, Conditional Rules, Campaigns, etc.

There was a certain class of games, particularly for (Old|New) World of Darkness before they renamed it to CofD, that were really popular. Basically you would fill out your sheet as a starting character, then go before a Storyteller/GM that was like a DMV bureaucrat, who would verify that you made legal choices and would sometimes argue with you about if you need Firearms 3.Then you'd be let in to the actual game. You'd have semi-freeform "scenes" with other PCs who did the same process, and occasionally, the ST/GM would show up and do a "scene" where the chips are really on the table, you can make real moves. You'd do XP requests and get standard XP quantities based on activity, basically attendance.But then they kinda just disappeared in the late 2000s/early 2010s, right before the rename to CofD. I think there were games of similar structure for other RPGs, but (o|n)WoD was the big one.What happened, man? Why did they fall out of style?
>>96589357No, they're not you ignorant fool. LARPs are cosplay dressup RP festivals. He's talking about living campaigns which were mostly played on internet forums, chatrooms, and mIRC.
>>96589357Shut the fuck already, mentally ill imbecile.
>>96589357I remember all those LARP WoD living games my uni used to have. People walking around with a bunch of d10s in case of a random encounter with another player. Really, funny stuff.
>>96590098>>96590201Read OP's post again and tell me he's talking about forums and chatrooms.
PBM was only popular relative to play-by-telegram, even at their peak in popularity they had <50k participants worldwide. They still exist but they're probably less than a few hundred active participants.
