What's /tg/ thoughts on YouTuber and designer Indestructoboy also known as Taron Pounds? Known as one of the DMsGuild best seller and made a new game recently called Vagabond Pulp Fantasy TTRPG
>>96900041And one of them is a review made by a friend lol.
>>96903870And it was a heavy glazing review lmao, I hardly call that a review and more of a promotion
>>96899930Post the rules for whatever they did directly here for us to judge

Previous thread: >>>96796195GURPS 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 do you want there to be in the additional 27 pages of the new Basic Set?
>>96910474I'd say you'd start with Piledriver and add falling damage on top of the thrust+4 or thrust+2 at +2 per die done to the skull. The other big difference is that you start with an enemy in the air and the character must be able to get high enough to grab them. Getting the enemy into the air is left as an exercise for the player. Because the target is in the air, they cannot counter using a wrestling parry by pivoting unless they can fly or press against the air.Defaults at -10 instead of -5.
>>96909968What is that from, anyway?
>>96911176The clip is from Naruto.
>>96911176>>96911341Rock Lee vs Gaara was truly a high water mark for 00s anime. It's a shame the former character peaked with that fight.
>>96905541Future History has a section about determining a society's TL through methods other than raw "what's the most advanced tech available," instead looking at things like rates of energy consumption, degree of urbanization, global per capita income, etc.Anyway, by those methods, modern Earth lands at around TL5 overall, with certain areas (US, Japan, northern Europe, etc.) having High TL and higher Wealth as common traits, just as there are certain areas (rural inland China, parts of Africa, etc.) where Low TL and lower Wealth are common traits.
We keep seeing dwarf and elf threads but where are the comfy halfling threads?
>>96909577
>>96878322>because Elves SPECIFICALLY made one of the most terrible swears/slurs in Common sound exactly like the Half-Foots' name for their race in their own language.Huh? It wasn't spite, it was pure coincidence. Would be pretty weird if it was spite since elves are pretty dismissive of the shorter-lived races, both for good and for ill. Also I'm pretty sure the joke is that their own name is just 'Hobbit' but because of copyright they can't say that.
>>96910995Oh yeah?
>>96906723Seems like someone should start saving Halfling images.
>>96911562>halflingThat's more like a two-thirdsling
Do Gelflings count as Elves? Halflings? What would you classify them as?
>>96904853Also, if y'all just want recent medieval fantasy puppet kino, watch The Barbarian And The Troll.

>>96907117People always say this, but in reality it had two big things against it. It wasn't widely successful, barely anyone watched it. It basically appealed to its core audience but attracted no newcomers to cover the cost. And second, Netflix had a corporate shakeup, so things were cancelled by the new exec to make their mark.

I need an idea for what (non magical) class would best embody a childish or autistic characterexample:a homebody type personality who is not retarded or unintelligent but is ‘simple’ and while fully capable, prefers childish hobbiesMy idea is either a non-flashy swashbuckler or prankster type Rogue who enjoys simple childish pranks and is able to weaponize that spirit just enough to become an adventurer
Do you think the Imperium let the Guard have access to sex servitors like how old European navies let their sailors have sex dolls or Dutch Wives on their ships?Is that too big a luxury for a shitty guardsman? Or is this exactly the "a bullet costs more than a human life" kind of scenario where a decraniated man or woman being a lovedoll is enough of a tiny morale boost that the Imperium rubbestamps the cost?

>>96911134>why would the imperium do [stupid thing] when [more sensible and efficient thing] exists??New to this whole Warhammer business huh?
>>96910585>So… it would be even cheaper?No man, super expensive.You are growing attractive bodies, that's not going to come cheap.
>>96911374Why, though? If it's just a clone. Don't they just go "say, this one supermodel turned into a criminal and we made her a sex servitor and that was pretty alright. Let's just use her DNA for a bunch of them".Not even adding to the argument of the thread, I'm just asking why cloning a specific attractive human would be any different than cloning a strong one in the vats?
>>96911509>Not even adding to the argument of the thread, I'm just asking why cloning a specific attractive human would be any different than cloning a strong one in the vats?Well, two points.First in general, you'd have epigenetic and other growth factors.The hows and whats of your growing process will have huge affects on your final product.Second, the 40k universe has issues with direct cloning, resulting in duplicates that are cursed or somehow jinxed.

>>96908124Unless you have strong feelings on it, i feel it being ambiguous fine. If we have to set something down, i feel it's more fun if you can, and don't think it would break anything. He's a Character, so we'd be safe some kind infinite investor loop. Though, allowing that would be something fun for a sponsor. Just increase the Silver gained from Privet Escort to be higher than his cost, then allow recruiting Characters (or even just Eccentric Investors). I agree with you about Spain. I'd especially like to see the Inquisition expanded on, seeing as that is a chart thing. Maybe an academic angle? A sort of Catholic Agarthan Society (that also does Inquisition things)?
>>96894773I don't mind the Mecha-Dogu as long as we make it clear that they're retroactively applying their own mythology to the things, and keep the numbers limited. There's a lot of shit buried down there after all, and who knows how many cycles it's been since they bestrode the earth.>>96895644I think it could do with some tweaking, especially if you want to get humour through, but it's a good basic overview. Though, I would say that while Cunningham likes using the navy to bombard places he wants, he's one of the few to recognise that an alliance with Atlantis and everyone else who's reasonable is badly needed. The way I think of him is that he's a prepper who got put in charge of the fleet and what he's prepping for is the Napoleon/Hyperborean Deluge Extravaganza.>>96908124I like the idea of making spain a general catholic faction instead, makes it easier to fit in other units that would clog things up if we keep on making factions for everyone. The only problem I can see is that apart from messing with the Italians their main interest is on the surface, there's not much reason for them to go below the Fourth.
>>96909951>there's not much reason for them to go below the Fourth.You could say that...no one suspects it?Also, I completely refuse to believe that Duke "Sink Atlantis Again" Cunningham wants anything to do with them. He looked at the friendliest underground power and did the ONE THING that could make them mad by contesting their layer with Beatrice Shores.My take on the man is that he is the utter rejection of Agarthan weirdness personified. He's not going to rest until everything down there is sensible and normal, and if that means he needs to burn it all down then so be it.I'll try for the funnywriting later when I can find the time. In the meanwhile I'll also try to finally put the Keshiq together since the blu-tak fell off.

>>96911224Damn. Someone beat me to the jokeAh well. Let me serenade you good sir, I call this "Ode to Tuna Salad" in A Minor JarAlso, reading last thread... what the fuck? You assholes bitch about every single thing. Could you not? I'd see it as a huge favor. The Dreaming King isn't your gay fantasy, get over it. I don't harass women. The only time I post more than one or two posts anymore is when someone is asking for advice. Call me crazy, but I'm starting to think that the biggest bitch in these threads who keeps passive aggressively taking shots at me, is the same fucker who asked for help in the first place given the fact that anytime I post to answer someone's question lately the person asking for help never responds back, but I do get an fresh passive aggressive comment every time. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm just crashing out, sorry if I'm wrong. I hope the good guys know that this is not directed at them, just the one guy who keeps throwing stones.
>>96911451Not the other anon but I really like what's going on there
>>96911451Dall-E actually reads the style portion of your prompt; you have to ride herd on it to get the characters and action you want though. Kind of a funhouse mirror of GPT.The fun thing, with Dall-E (and with perchance's generator), is you'll sometime get slightly different styles from the same prompt, and with (up to) 4 gens per prompt, they're right there for you to pick and choose.
>>96911517The bottom style is particularly striking. If I knew what I was doing, I could write a longer, more detailed style description to consistently replicate it. But it'd likely take up half the prompt box's character limit.

People always shit on 4e, but at least it gave us cantrips so spell-casters wouldn't be totally worthless at low levels, something that many future tabletops stole from it...
>>96909452Then that turned in to 3.5 based video game. Which are all hyper garbage. Which then created the one combat adventure day cause that's the only way you can design the system in video game form. Which is probably a lot of people's first exposure to DnD.
>>96909452It also had a set of Diablo and WoW supplements for it too.
>>96909321First, you need to understand that when people say it's like wow that's a metonym meaning "it's like a vidya rpg". Wow is just one example of a vidya rpg, though the biggest and best known at the time 4e was released.Second, I'm not your web valet. My goal was to show that the 4e designers themselves said it was like vidya contradicting the anon, maybe even you, who was implying that claims of similarities were invalid. The similarities are there regardless of the designers being aware of them. That the designers say this was a deliberate goal on their part just amplifies the anon's wrongness. If you want particular details of similarities that players have found over the years do a websearch.Dismissing those quotes as wishy washy is disingenuous when only one of them mentions being told what to do, and the first says "the lessons we learn from online games are going to be the most obvious". You're coming at this in bad faith and you're still asking me to provide sources for you. That's rude. Do it yourself.>>96909452>No that's 3E. Looked at Fallout and Everquest.Interesting. I very briefly played Everquest, well after it's original release, never played a single Fallout game so I can't comment on that, but I don't see 3e being similar to Everquest, certainly not as obvious as the relationship between 4e, wow and diablo.
>>96909669You said in >>96909253 that you played the game and decided for yourself that it felt like a video game. What exactly felt like a video game?

8 days since the last thread died Edition▶What is Kingdom Death?Kingdom Death is a tabletop minature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness.

>>96810592What's the best way to get into this game? I've been intrigued ever since the original kickstarter ages ago but it was always sold out or being scalped when I checked
>>96907178Try it in tts to see if you like it then drop $400+ on core game while it's still in stocktheir own sim is a questionable purchase
>>96907482Thanks for the advice, I'll try it solo on TTS then. is it worth keeping an eye on the secondhand market or am I better off just buying directly from KDM?
>>96903929>An elderdon't survivors retired after only like 8 hunts or something? and they turn into fully grown adults in 1 lantern year, are lantern years super long or do survivors aged at an accelerated rate?
>>96907611>is it worth keeping an eye on the secondhand market or am I better off just buying directly from KDM?Depends on what's available to you in your area and how good of a deal it is

>>96902215NtA, but I'm happy, if I can make newfags that try to make this board their personal playpen, just a tad uncomfortable, as long as I still have other good threads to hang around in. So try to shitpost harder.

>>96903709I've been coming here for a little over 15 years now, and while I used to contribute with genuine posts, I now don't bother. If I see something that might inspire me, I just write down my answer in a Word file for my own uses, like a huge Q&A document. I've got pages and pages of replies that will never be shared here, but have helped me massively whenever I need to dip into it for my work.Moral of the story, just because this place isn't worth your input doesn't mean you shouldn't get something out of it still.

>>96905036i had a legion army for every faction in the previous edition but i dont know if any of my shit is valid anymore
>Auralnauts is over>never ended up finishing their parodies of Ep 8/9All things come to an end. I wonder if Darths and Droids will revive whenever another trilogy gets shit out in the 2030s.
My friend group is picking one of each of the legion starters tomorrow. Is there a way to build each for recon games? Do they have set lists included in the box or is there somewhere I can see some type of demo lists for the contents?

How do I write a villain who is always two steps ahead?
>>96910674>>>/lit/
>>96910674In RPG terms, you do realise you can hear the poor fucking players planning, right? Just make up some bullshit about your villain reading body language like a bene gesseret or picking up bullshit clues like Adam West Batman, or whenever they announce an action, go I KNEWWWWW YOU WOULD DO THAT! like Stallone's Dredd.
>>96910782Does every thread on this board need to require the words "in my ttrpg"?>>96910674Anyway, this is a difficult thing if you're stupid. I mean that genuinely, it will be hard for you to write smart characters if you yourself aren't smart. But assuming you're the GM, which you should be, you probably already have a rough idea for a story outline written. If this is the case then congrats! Your villain should now know more about the steps they need to take than the players do. The problem is making this seem fair to the players. You can't just have your evil Black Knight go do the plot without your players, but you can have him subvert their expectations from time to time.While I'm begrudging the retard who is immediately directing you to /lit/ because he cries about half the threads on here, he is partially right, read a few books to gauge characters or their methods that can be similar to what you want from your villain. Have your villain be smart, have them slight the players in tricksy ways, have one dungeon where they found out the important artefact has already been taken (but assuage the players by ensuring they still earned loot of some sort). I'm not sure how to fully help you, because I don't know your game system or story, but I'll believe in the best for you & guess you can glean some ideas from this already.
