>>97335340So TW(TM) stuff is lumpy, ornate, & has a bunch if gemstones glued to it so it looks like a weird maguffin weapon for a cheap scifi/fantasy movie made in the 80'sMilitary TW stuff looks functional & has some gold trim, tasteful gemstones in places youd expect like chest & helm, that give it a nice look, or else they're all attached on the inside where you cant see.There's a subset of "steam/diesel/oldschoolpunk" TWs who make restorations with alm the gemstones & stuff hidden behind panels like the military TW stuff.Then theres all the specialty case TW stuff that is either alien or whatever
>>97334923Yes, I think that should be easier.

I was always fascinated by how this game seems to not just be unbalanced, but to actively reject the idea of balance between character options.>Alright guys, let's start the campaign. Let me see those characters.>I'm a basic bitch grunt with a rifle, a body armor and some military-related skills. I also took the Communications Technician package that trades some combat skills for techy ones like Electronic Countermeasures (Jamming) and Radio (Scramblers).>I start with one of the most powerful suits of power armor in the game. Its starting gun is a shotgun-railgun that can fire up to 5 kilometers away and does enough damage to one-shot a Jumbo Jet 7 times over. Also the book explicitly says I'm hailed as a hero and settlements will give me free ammo and repairs.>I'm a 12 ft tall birdman demigod. I can fly, I have superhuman stats across the board and more ISP and PPE than most dedicated caster classes, and I automatically know all physical, sensitivity and telephaty psychic powers and all fire warlock spells. Oh, I can also open rifts and self-resurrect.>I'm a forger, I can forge fake documents with a base 20% success chance (+5% per level) but to compensate I can't take cybernetics.
>>97344438Kevin himself said something about it being a "challenge", same with playing a character with shit like IQ 3, though, in my days, most GMs just forbid people to pick those commoner classes anyway.

My players are heading to a notoriously seedy strip joint on Nar Shaddaa to make contact with a fixer for a joint smuggling and intel-grab job. I want to make the joint memorable for all the wrong reasons and give the players some opportunity to RP before their contact arrives. What i know it will have so far:>two old B2 super battle droids as door guards/bouncers>nautolan bartender speaking in jamaican jive>two mandos in full armor sitting in opposite corners and doing the "brooding edgelord" routine>shemale gungan stripperI feel i need more weird patrons for the joint so gimme your ideas for odd bar patrons.

During large gatherings these may be served out of bowls as big as speeders >HuttParadoxically The actual Hutt Cuisine travelers want to try is from middle and lower class Hutt communities. Hutt upperclass cuisine is really just bougie junk food. At lower social strata, Hutt cuisine tries to mix high-end spices and ingredients with filling soul food. So Hutt street food is just leagues superior to Hutt “fine dining”> KubazIt’s bugs, but it’s not like their served live or anything, they’re still cooked and seasoned well so once you get over the initial shock of “ew bugs!” It’s fine… the real problem with Kubaz cuisine is the host who will invariably be both over nosey, and simultaneously will over share.Comment too long.

We even have an Admech chapter.

>>97337364I don’t care for this post.
>>97337364>and thus all your historical and mythological cross-referencing is irrelevant to /tg/ because it CANNOT functionFalse. A well grounded historical and mythological understanding helps both world building and improvisation during ttrpg gameplay. A thing you would know if you actually played games instead of desperately refreshing your spambox.
>>97343159Give an actual example. Cause this topic only ever seems to involve squabbling over definitions and never discussing any actual games.
>>97343159For the counterfactuals. Where the history and mythology does not exist. And the rules must have clear descriptions separating game functions.How, exactly, do you write rules for a Wizard doing the rather common COUNTERSPELLS under this prescribed meaning of "magic" that flagrantly ignores words being capable of having outright contradictory meanings? Because that game function strictly requires spells be a distinct thing that can be countered, in turn strictly requiring that they be put in a box away from all the non-spell game functions.
>>97304453tru tru
Previous thread: >>97215703GURPS 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.Thread question: What are some systems or you would like to include or see included in a campaign, but haven't been able to? They don't have to be the main focus of the game, having them only as something on the side is okay.
>>97344723If you want it to look like shit from poor pagination, sure.
>>97342362I'm very experienced in both FFG and GURPS, having run both for years.DH2e aptitudes make a lot of sense for 40k. The fundamental of life in the Imperium is that your knowledge and training is restricted solely to your service to the Emperor.Of all systems, DH2e has the biggest minefield for character creation since you can lose out on discounts on things you like. The vast majority of players will think their guys suck if they don't get the maximal discount on all their abilities, but by comparison the DH2e warbands have the exact same expenses as groups from other games.DH2e experience is goal-oriented (by RAW, most GMs ignore everything on the book though), while GURPS is based on player awards for roleplaying. In FFG character progression is very impactful, including the open-ended Only War and DH2e. In GURPS the players have to make up in their minds their own doors and cross them. In FFG, Fate Points and their flexible uses are the best meta-currency I've seen. Also, your attack rolls influencing your damage roll is neat (what would be GURPS' MoS can be swapped for your damage roll if better).All the rules in FFG are... serviceable. GURPS has the best combat system of all times so I can't really compare them. But sometimes you want to buy the Talent that makes your gun shoot harder, be so bigoted that you hit better in melee, and get a bonus to hit for charging, and rolling a 10 so you get exploding dice and utterly destroy the traitors. You won't have too many issues with it otherwise.

What if you had an injury system but something else to let you 'ignore it' for a turn at a cost? Like you spend stamina to keep ignoring your injury for a time? Would protect against death spirals and potentially give you a definite time limit based on what you've suffered.

>>97345409NTAIve always felt that the best "danger" for a Changeling to have isnt against an antagonist kidnapper, or the crushing boredom/conformity of bland suburbs but against the unraveling of their own mind & the contracts & oaths that can lock them into situations where they cannot function. Like, if you life too freely, with no attachments you will degenerate into nonsense & evaporate into madness. So the changelings make oaths & contracts so that their crazy has metaphysical walls that keep them from insanity but if you swear too many you run the risk of breaking yourself under the strain of trying to keep them all, or worse, you contracts & oaths come into a conflict that you cannot reconcile. This gravitates them into social play like most splats.
