The worst part is I had plans for a heist on Footfall that I was really getting into. I looked up hotel floorplans, I watched Ocean's 11 and other flicks, I had a list of cool loot they'd have in their vault and security measures for the thing, I had an NPC I would've used to get the ball rolling - a mafia boss type of guy who wanted a family heirloom and didn't much care about the rest of the vault (who could very easily have become a future plot point - what was the thing he wanted, why was it so important to him? Was it a Warrant? An ancient starmap? Archaeotech? Maybe even a Halo device? Did they players actually give it to him, or did they split, and now he's after them and fucking pissed?)
Point being, I'm very irritated I didn't get to run that heist, even if I probably wouldn't have realistically had the time to do so. It lives on a shelf in the back of my brain now, with all the characters I've never gotten to play.
>>97390710
Do you nab one or two guys to pad out an already existing group, or do you yank a gagglefuck of utterly unrelated morons and then weld them together with sheer autistic will?
>>
>>97390822
I yank gagglefucks of utterly unrelated morons together. These guys then usually coalesce into a team, but there's usually one or two who dip out from in-game or other disagreements, so I replace them with a new moron. I prefer new peeps because they bring new perspectives into things. After each series, some leave, and some stick around for future series. I've got a bunch of peeps now who are "regulars", from peeps I knew in college to veterans from multiple games, and they often help with mechanics, testing, and ideas. However, every new series is ALWAYS free-range clusterfuck recruitment with no favoritism. Just because I've known someone a long time doesn't mean they automatically get in.

The past few years though, since about 2022, it has been admittedly hard to find new players, since the entrenchment of what counts as "real" 40k has gotten REALLY bad, and the last two series were mostly my regulars.

>Dredging randos can work
Yeah, just gotta vet the group carefully and set clear expectations early on. My group of random joes has lasted for 101 sessions and counting. A few players came and went due to life getting in the way, but a consistent "core" group arose from the turnover. It's been a fun ride.

Every store is doing this in NA at least in terms of cooking preorders to their benefit. There's no accountability and no regulation. Board game shops are abhorrent for it, just look at what Boardgamebliss gets away with. Shit, it's basically the DDR5 nonsense right now.

With the amount of money and volatility and money in tcgs, it's only going to get worse. Not proxying at this point and stocking up on sleeves and playing cards to back them is a big mistake the way things are trending

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.

Thread question: what's the best classic GURPS cover art?

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.

does that mean that in campaigns where I'm using a rule where you get -1 to dodge after every dodge that enhanced dodge should be cheaper?

Sometimes I use "The big wash" where I borderline pour it on. It can make a cream cloak into a yellow one better than any layering.

Other times I do gap filling with milliput after the basecoat and wash. It's easier to see gaps like that. Then I just paint over it and wash it. This also lets me do arms in assembly better

Painting on contrast and then painting that with medium while it's already on the figure to make it flow good and become a wash. This works wonders on shields

To do straps and webbing I paint black, then white on the top, then wash really heavy black on the sides and top, then white again.

I cut integrated bases off and only base after a figure is fully painted. I also fully build and paint each base before gluing a figure on.

Sometimes I wash a colour with the exact opposite shade to make it duller instead of mixing paints. This works well.

Technical paints can be washes if you force them to be.

I do enjoy the autism of FF14's aether and how it relates to literally everything in setting.

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

A broken clock may be right twice a day, but you can't tell when it is right unless you have a second, working, clock to compare it to.
This is not a redeeming factor of the broken clock, because if you have a working clock to check it by then you don't need to reference the broken one at all. The maximally useful information the broken one could convey is done as a matter of course by the working one.
Your only concern should be potentially misidentifying a slow clock (potentially useful if you are aware of its limitations) as a broken one.

>>97387824
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.

There was no failure. Spirits do what they do because that's what they are. You wouldn't consider a hammer to be a bad hammer just because it can't do precision surgery.

I wonder, in order to update the Technocracy to the current era, what would have to change? For one I think it wouldn't be proper to call it a Union since its not socialist enough anymore. Maybe the Technocratic Syndicate/Corporation?
Also I assume New World Order would focus more on memetic warfare and weaponize influencers? The Syndicate would be based around stuff like blockchain and be the Convention most likely to defect the Technocracy and join the Traditions due to their new rebel nature and Startup founders (going the Virtual Adepts way?)
I also think maybe Iteration X would be more powerful than when Ascension was first released. Void Engineers would definitely have Elon and SpaceX I guess?
What other changes would you introduce, anon? More cyberpunk stuff?
