Need some advice, I'm starting my very first campaign in a few days. The DM has played with a different group for a few years but all players have little to no experience.
I built my dude and am now wondering how much effort I should put into backstory and the flavor side of things. I made him pretty a pretty generic sword and shield fighter on purpose to keep things simple. How can I make sure that I can roleplay a consistent and somewhat interesting character, without having to come up with a novel worth of backstory
>>
>>97367290
jesus christ that's excessive
>>
>>97391289
The simple answer is to ask your DM. Some DMs like to use backstories, some prefer not to. A good DM will workshop it with you and it's pretty hard to get one that's outright rejected.

Since you asked here, my advice is that there is a space between a 20 page novel backstory and John Baldur Human Fighter.
I like to give a few bullet points on my characters' past, incident incident, and how they got to the starting location while also including a few named characters and a backstory hook or two.
Character consistency is less about the backstory, but sticking to several traits you want to give your character. However a backstory can give you some ideas of what traits to give your character.

If it isn't obvious, as a player, I like making backstories. One of my favorite parts of DnD.

It's a matter of opinion. There are a lot of gamers who are risk-averse and try to optimise the risk out of every scenario, which you simply can't do with Hunger. Every rouse check is a fifty-fifty, simple as. The only way to optimise the risk out of the Hunger is to minimise the number of rouse checks, in which case you're barely playing a vampire at all.

It's a mechanic that works best for people who are comfortable with risk and adapting to whatever the situation is and making a story out of it. As /tg/ has always been home to players who prefer tactical gaming and character optimisation, it makes sense that most people here dislike the Hunger system.

I probably heard someone else say it, but it's an apt thing to say about the entire X of Darkness corona pretty broadly.
If you don't have to deal with any downsides to your splat, then you're just a guy with superpowers. If the player doesn't act like a vampire, isn't roleplaying like he's a vampire, no downsides, then yeah, the game is just about a bunch of superheroes. The vampire thing just becomes a vague aesthetic with no teeth, pun intended.

It just felt so aimless for very long periods of time and then when something actually happens it's usually started and resolved in the same episode.
The idol gets more screen time than the main heroine it feels like, and I really didn't like her. Lots of episodes meandered and didn't really give us any deeper insights into the main characters or the plot. Main girl is cute and a good partner for the main character but their romance plot only starts in the semifinal episode.

It just feels very empty at points, and not in a slice of life way. Nothing happens and we don't get to interact with the characters that matter as much as we should.

If it were me I would focus less on the super-of-the-week early on or at least focus more on the main characters and their interactions as they go about it. Cut the idol completely. Focus more on how MC likes main girl after the trauma episode so that the conversion doesn't come out of nowhere with zero impact.
But at that point it's a different show in a different genre, so I'll shut my mouth and accept that I was looking for something else and I'm just complaining that I didn't find it. I do think it durdled around too much on irrelevant things and didn't give enough attention to the things that mattered though.

Previous thread: >>97295718

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. 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.

Absolute Timing is more automatic than the personal computer. If you wanted to know how long it takes to do something but only have the PC perk then you would need to take some effort (probably concentrate maneuvers) to bring up a "timer" application and then set and stop a timer. With absolute timing you just watch someone do something and go "that took 15 minutes and 30 seconds".
The PC timer would be more accurate, though, if seconds or fractions of a second mattered.

Necromancy Edition

>What is Trench Crusade?
An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.

>What Trench Crusade is not
TC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.

>What's the QRD on the background?
The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.
