Content creators went insane over Spooder Man and made all the no games players think they are in good company.
Most of the e-celebs who cried about spider man don't care about them.
It's just retards on twitter and bluesky trying to earn 4chan good boy points by repeating a meme they don't even understand.

I also highly doubt most of the types constantly crying have played a game of magic in years.

>>but TMNT, a well loved nostalgia classic
The other three listed were small release for specific formats. TMNT is a main set release that you're expected to engage with in every format now. I have mild nostalgia for it, but no desire to pay markups just so I can draft with my friends. A lot of the hate for these would go away if they were priced the same as every other MTG set.

>>96733429
It's because it's not just a commander slop secret lair, it's going to be a full mainline standard set. BIG difference

No you don't. All you have to do is choose the options that suit your character concept. A system doesn't have to have any dysfunctional trap options. Not every game is D&D. Some actually have competent designers.

>>96735107
>All you have to do is choose the options that suit your character concept
And when they are naked fungibility, that requires weighing up what is more and less suitable and how deeply you wish to invest in each. You seem to be completely unaware of the very freedom of options you insist upon entailing a cognitive load of actually shaping them so they're mostly decent and settling on something from among them.

>A system doesn't have to have any dysfunctional trap options.
There are 2,432,902,008,176,640,000 permutations for just 20 fungible choices (though AIUI this is technically most applicable to character progression). A single one of those choices being irrelevant for a campaign results in 95% of them spending something for nothing. It is simply not mathematically feasible to avoid without a ludicrous amount of effort crunching numbers to dial in a flat-enough plain of outputs.

>>96735165
So have you ever even played a classless game? According to your argument, it should be impossible to make a character.

>>96735167
I'm not saying that it's impossible to make a character, I'm saying that at the blunter end it's vanishingly unlikely to make a meaningfully above mostly-random crapshoot fulfillment of the priorities on the player's end and to design those issues away by any reliable procedure involves upwards of a decade in university level mathematics between the design team demanding expensive computation equipment to actually use.

It "feels" better because the system does not get in the way, something far more naturally fulfilled by ruleslight homebrew than GURPS. But if you want the system to carry the weight of structuring sessions and events so you don't have to offload critical fine-tuning on the end users with no assurance of any grasp on this and thus a significant risk of them being turned away because they fucked it up, the immensity of the combinatorics must be tackled with a hard solution that could genuinely involve goddamn AI companies.

>>96735250
Why do you think making a character is a random crapshoot? Or that it's difficult at all? Have you tried?

>>96722383
Aberrant is neither tied to the WoD nor particularly low-powered; individual characters can be, but the game scales. Aberrant also takes place in the near future.

Having looked into the setting, I would use something flexible, like OVA, Prowlers & Paragons, or Mythic d6. Based on the gameplay I watched, I think something like Fabula Ultima might work.

BTW, someone looking for low-powered supers should check out Dark Times or Watchdogs of Killcade

>>96664055
I agree with B&B. Shoot & Loot should also work. Both games create random weapons and have cover systems. B&B is crunchier, S&L is based loosely on PbtA but isn't as structured, so it plays faster.p0jk0

>>96721100
That's annoying, how long are they going to keep it like that?

>>96728179

Could we please get a summary update on requests that didn't get a satisfactory response? I would love to help some people find a game to help them play in their favorite IP.

>It's scalemail armor not a scaled hide
>AD&D1e
Description: The hide of kobolds runs from very dark rusty brown to a rusty black. They have no hair. Their eyes are reddish and their small horns are tan to white. They favor red or orange garb. Kobolds live for up to 135 years.

If 200 or more kobolds are encountered in their lair, there will be the following additional creatures there: 5-20 guards (as bodyguards above), females equal to 50% of the total number, young equal to 10% of the total number, and 30-300 eggs.
>30-300 eggs.
These are lizards/dragons/monotremes. Not dogs.

Also, how do you explain the scales on their faces, hands, feet, lower legs, and such? It cannot be scalemail.

Exalted question: Lunars should be able to use any biological-based abilities of a form they take, right? Say Kryptonians/Viltrumites/Ben 10 Aliens/Marvel mutants.

>>96735164
this may be a stupid question but file it under I genuinely don't know. In order to gain a form don't Lunars have to consume the heart of the creature in question? I don't know if this is true or not.

>>96735182
By default, they have to slay a creature and drink its “Heart’s blood” at the end of a ritualistic hunt. There are Knacks and Charms they can learn to modify these requirements. Off the top of my head, I know there’s one that lets you temporarily take the form of a creature just by tasting any of its blood. And another one that lets you gain a form by having sex with the person.

The entire 5e group my old schoolmate set up after he came back from Uni.

Infested with 'em.

We played curse of Strahd; Strahd appeared on a rooftop twirling his cloak dramatically; in character, my terminally uncouth four-foot tall Gnomish barbarian yelled up "Stop playing with your wee cape, you faggot, come down here and fight us!"

The whole table froze as if they'd never heard a swear word before.

Absolute melts.

Got through Strahd and Chult with those sad fucks, and it was a chore the whole way, but I did it for my mate.

I tapped out when he let his actual self-declared Marxist roommate run that god-awful book of micro-adventures though.

I've long suspected that they're the product of stolen identities that are close enough to pass with varying degrees of success depending on how close of a match they are and because the SIN system is so heavily automated it flied under the radar.

They are *still* doing that two weeks later? We've had multiple tournaments where Vanquish Soul decks have still been performing as seen in >>96704523. And that's putting aside how wide the formats showing itself in other tournaments like pic related.

Hell, VSK9 was still hitting Top 16 at Anaheim! It's still competitive with the hits if they want to play it, and because of VS's Genesys tops, they could easily split the deck into a VS one for Genesys and K9 Crystron for advanced and easily preserve the money they have spent.

>>96734273
Are your local VSK9 players just retarded or something? They don't need Rock in order to dominate in Genesys.

>>96734381
all the guys playing that deck are the usual sweatlords (ie the guys whose favorite deck is the strongest one, until it gets shat on by the banlist, at which point they sell it to buy the newest one), so i guess they're still mad about getting their deck gutted so soon
i'm not sure why they want full power mirror matches 24/7 though
>>96734389
it matters because these genesis tournaments are comprised of those 12 k9 vs players and 2 other guys on punk and exosister
>>96734713
yes, i genuinely don't know what's wrong with them
they don't elaborate on why they want these drastic changes
>>96735180
they want it to be the undisputed best deck still

>>96735193
Why don't they just ask the owner to do a no-banlist tourney and explicitly exclude Tearlaments? It's not like it's a sanctioned event so they can do whatever the fuck they want.

For the PCs. Moths being drawn to lights is reflective of the game having a hopeful bent to it. Moths themselves undergo metamorphosis from a caterpillar which is similarly true of the Accused's metamorphosis via their Damnaition. Accursed are also disruptive by nature and the wider metaphor of curses are that they're connected in a tangled web of threads. Much like how a moth will gnaw through fabrics, the Accursed break those connections.

As for that idea I'm glad that's not where they're going. Not everything needs to be dialled up to 11.I don't think anyone is benefitted by writers smashing you over the head with a metaphor non-stop. Especially when it's just for a logo.

written by retards, faggots, and troons. no thanks.

>>96734952
Bro they dialed curse up to 13 & tore the knob off. They could have leaned into moths by a fraction just to give curse some breathing room

>>96735125
You example is just doing more moths and more curses though. Curses being the magic system is fine. VtM does blood, WtA does spirits, it's all the same deal to me on that front. I don't think they need another thing to cram another thing link that in.

>>96730551
Oh, I strongly prefer success-based dice pool, namely the Year Zero Engine one with my homebrew. It works like Genesys, even better. BUT it has like twice as less design space due to low numbers. When you want a game with constant level ups, adding +1 to one or the other stat, or item upgrading like in video game with +1s, when you additionally use d4-d12 to represent different equipment, it is better when your system is based around d20. As for swingy binary outcomes, you can rule that the check failure is partial success and make 2-3 rolls for resolution of non-combat checks.

Working on a system/world where the players are robots. All his bodyparts and programs are under the line the class and levels normal RPG have.
I put in some megacity in roman build style and some mytic psionic in and hope i have a system that play quick even against more then 5 enemys.

All based on D6 plus whatever bonus you can get.
What to fire/hit something? 1D6+your sensors vs the targets cloak to hit. then damage vs armor and if the structure points of your body reach zero your body parts can and will fly off a brocken junk. But all the same for the enemy.
Hacking goes with dice in pair, want to hack a CCTV? get a bigger pair together then your enemy. If there is a firewall it get harder and if you have more time (aktions) or a program it becomes easyer.
Rule of cool is the major idea.
example: the caterpillar tracks are "legs" but how would a organic version of this look like? easy: could be a snake or snail body.
Speaking of robot parts: There are currently 6 overarching types of robots (and there bodyparts) to mix and match.
Android: human shaped robotparts
Mecha: Bulky armord part
Drone: light weight skinny/bony parts
Chimera: the biohorror and mutant part of my system. It has its own DNA mutation system but does also suffer from alot more problems then normal robots
Nanites: gray goo that can reshape itself or mimic stuff.

I just don't like rolling a ton of dice. Its just a hassle and slows down the game.

>>96729989
Ok, I see your point here, and let me verify if I understand correctly. If I put the faction bonuses on a separate layer, they become harder to balance vis a vis the purchase of parts. Basically by making faction bonuses purchasable I establish a baseline against which weaker and stronger parts can be measured. I want to follow up to this question and ask: what would happen if instead I made it so that respecting restrictions gives you more or less "special faction points" that you can spend for faction bonuses? This way even if you respect the restrictions you don't get an overwhelming advantage vs. an opponent that is using parts from multiple manufactures.

Also the game is currently being played in person and I can promise you, you are not interested in checking it out. It is very much still shit.

critique my d6 combat system please and thank you.
you add up two out of five attributes, depending on what weapon youre using.
ex. strength and agility.
that number determines what target number you need to hit.
you then select a number of dice from a pool that you want to use for attack.
successes are counted as hits.
damage is calculated as the damage of the weapon + the two used attributes and subtract from that the targets armor.

this would basically be the baseline for melee combat, without any other modifiers.
is there potential or do i need to start over?

What an incredibly boring thread, and why is there two threads about gods up at the same time?
