>Friday night is the best time for run a TTRPG.
Ask me how I know you never run anything with adults with jobs
Wednesday is the optimal day for gaming, because everyone is free and nobody is expected anywhere. Thursday is a second best.
Monday sucks, because it's regular overtime day. Tuesday usually is picking slack from Monday. The entire weekend is busy work and wildly conflicting timetables (and nobody sane is going to sacrifice family time for games, unless it's a family thing).
So you are left with Wednesday and Thursday, of which Wednesday is the more optimal, since people tend to get delegations Thursday-Friday.

friday evening is the de facto time to spend with friends though, so op is right.
Since most people dont work on Saturdays they can stay till later as well.
Also if you have a family you are a life cuck and you never have free time either way till they are in their early teens at the very least least, if you aint the worst parent possible at least.

Here's the excerpt from the book.
‘What’s all this?’ said Frodo, feeling inclined to laugh.

‘This is what it is, Mr. Baggins,’ said the leader of the Shirriffs, a two-feather hobbit: ‘You’re arrested for Gatebreaking, and Tearing up of Rules, and Assaulting Gatekeepers, and Trespassing, and Sleeping in Shire-buildings without Leave, and Bribing Guards with Food.’

‘And what else?’ said Frodo.

‘That’ll do to go on with,’ said the Shirriff-leader.

‘I can add some more, if you’d like it,’ said Sam. ‘Calling your Chief Names, Wishing to punch his Pimply Face, and Thinking you Shirriffs look a lot of Tom-fools.’

GURPS is good. I think their combat is overly granular, admittedly. But unless you're buying a "Powered by GURPS" game, it's more of an "RPG Building Kit" than a prebuilt RPG.

>>97707942
>it's more of an "RPG Building Kit"
I see this leveled at GURPS a lot but I still don't think it's true, it works on certain assumptions and definitely has its own flair. Just because it doesn't have much of a bestiary (unless you count the umpteen splatbooks) doesn't make it not an RPG

>>97710532
The best way I can describe GURPS for tourists is GURPS is the "UNREAL engine." The system has add-ons for different systems and styles of play. However the engine is the same.

>>97707942
>it's more of an "RPG Building Kit" than a prebuilt RPG

I did say specifically his anime as in whatever his headcanon of dragon ball is. Pretty sure the administration isn't taking part in a psyop to boost his Dragon Ball Z character because they want young kids to aspire to be some Japanese guy. Administration is going to use any tool they can to get at the population and anime is no different, but this is an ultra specific case. End of the day I'm just pointing out to him that he has made this the Gohan general of /tg/, and it's probably not even about Jumpchain at this point since he is doing this to try and make some sort of change happen irl. Could be a character bit he is committed to, but I'm going to call a spade a spade when I see it.

To get off the Jobhan topic.

What are you guys favorite perks to create magical/spiritual environments and resources (preferably passivly)? I want to be able to cultivate and make mystical exliars, in settings without mystical resources.

But I don't want to manually lug around territory, mines, farms and zoo's.

So far the only perk I know of that helps in this regard are.

Magical/Divine/Fae/Infernal Boon (600 CP) from arsmagica:
You naturally spread your realm’s aura in any territory you control. If you are a magical
creature, you spread a magical aura; a divine creature spreads a divine aura, etc. The aura’s strength increases slowly with time, though you may halt its growth or decrease
its strength if you wish.
In addition, you gain a boon dependent upon your realm affiliation:
As a magical creature, you create sources of vis wherever you spread your magical aura.

Neat. Sorry to be late, there was a storm in my area and the internet went down.

>The temporary workshop was surprisingly professional looking compared to what he normally expected from the bard. The side room rented out was spacious.
You should get your own setup, I’m sure you’ll have uses for it.

>"Alchemists are often cultivators but not universally. I'm not going to get in trouble for teaching you."
One idea I’ve had is alchemy, enchanting, and arrays are together known as the mortal magics, because mortals can use them, they take less time to learn, and with enough skill can reach the level of the second stage of cultivation.

I want to see the three Saneiketsu, this is their digica debut

First for FUCK Medusamon

If every bug is linked to the hive mind, tiny earth insect sized spy bugs would be unstoppable. It would be so easy to get eyes and ears just about everywhere, and they'd all be disposable.

Also loved the bugs tactics from the Starship Troopers and Armor books. Have a massive swarm seeded on a planet and waiting under a battlefield. Maybe about a fifth of the swarm are actually warriors. If workers and warriors look exactly the same, the workers can be both a meat should and distraction for humans while the actual warriors sneak through the swarm to deal a killing blow or get a shot off from an unseen angle.

The chaos caused by a swarm of hundreds of thousands of bugs erupting from the ground direct beneath the feet of any human platoon would be pretty good too.

Focus on long range indirect fire, flyers swarms and burrowers, also the bugs being on the smaller side but still dangerous (think small-medium dog sized fast bugs with toxin darts and claws and hard bullet proof frontal chitin plates)

Alternatively, just make tear-jerker movies for women about humans bad and bugs good and how bugs are necessary to pay the pensions of their aging population and then watch the humans collectively commit sudoku by bug.

They have a hive mind, so they fight with near perfect coordination, so their warrior bugs don't need powerful weapons since they use them with extremely coordinated tactics. This means arming their troops takes minimal resources, so they can focus their efforts on other areas to a greater degree, such as fortifications, weapons development, building more artillery-scale weapons, and making more ships.

Sexy bug girls.

this is the latest terrain project I've finished. Turned out to be impossible to reach the ships in the center of the board during play however, so we had to remove a couple of tables

what do you use to flock large areas in such a way that it looks good and remains sturdy?

I've used static grass with a static grass applicator for a 6x4 table once. Looks really nice, but I wonder how well it actually holds up, it was also a mess to do

This is why we tell everyone about the completely free simulators before anything else. We all respect yout time and money more than you might think.
TRY

BUY
Even very experienced players and people into the game do this to test archetypes/decks to make sure they are satisfied before they spend anything.
>maybe I can recoup some of it
Not sure what you have but sell it immediately if it's something printed within the last year. Take whatever loss you have on the chin and realize your mistake.
If it's structure decks then don't bother unless you want to list it at like 50%. Everyone can already buy them new for at or maybe 80% of MSRP rather than your opened product.

Now that I think about it, Branded is pretty cheap for what it is in the meta, I already have one of the most expensive card in it. Should I just build that? Hoping I can get another Fallen of White but it won't really kill me if I spend $100ish to get another one + $50 more for the rest of the expensive ones. Are there any other cheap engines to blend with Branded? Not too sure if Dracotail Branded is still in the meta.

Low imagination largely.
That being said, there could be other factors like a lack of mission variety or aids for making campaigns that while don't make such activity impossible, don't act to encourage more gameplay. Historicals have all the historical conflicts to draw on for material, and while scifi and fantasy gaming can also draw on those conflicts as inspiration, and should, it seems like this approach is becoming less common over time.
Other option is bad design that has fairly specific units being the best choice in all cases enough that it cuts down on game variation.

>>97709039
IMO if the game sucks you still get a bunch of small scale scifi dudes to use for any mini agnostic scifi game you'd wanna play

>>97709074
When they did the reveal video the models they showed looked amazing and generic enough for anything as you say. It looks like a real time strategy game in real life with so many unit types at that scale.

OP's not talking about planning his death, OP is saying "If you get into a fistfight with a dragon you're breakfast."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>97710072
That too, just tell them that you intend to kill them with a dragon

Seems like player and GM talking about their expectations of the eventually upcoming game is reasonable.
Getting pissed about it on /tg/ seems childish.
And in general I have to agree with >>97707584 for the most part. Death doesn't have to be the only outcome of a failed combat encounter. Especially if you play something other than fast and loose dungeon delve tactics where a new character is made in a few minutes.

If you set up your group for a grand adventure and campaign where their backstories and characters matter by going from zero to hero, then it is absolutely a legit stance to keep character death to a minimum or even off the table.
Conan got captured like a retard in his movie. As a GM you could of course have random mooks slit his throat in a dogpile. Or you could have the evil wizard give him an evil speach, embarrass and wound him further, then cast him out like the defeated dog he is. Movies do it all the time and there is no reason why a GM can't do the same since he has all the power in his hand.

Does this mean you should let PCs off the hook when players insist on retarded shit like: "My fresh character makes a dive down the 50 feet steep cliff on rocky terrain!" expecting to stay alive? No. Of course not. I have to assume you play with actually people and not walking strawman arguments. Should this situation still occour you can always say: "No. That would kill your character, which you stated, you don't want to happen. Try something else."
It's really that easy.

>>97710434
>Otherwise, actively try to kill your players
That's plebbit-tier levels of retardation, showing that you don't understand anything about the OSR nor about DMing.

I won't explain the OSR part because you're clearly too retarded and should just fuck off back to wherever you came from, you have nothing to contribute here except to make this place more stupid.

About killing the PCs, to do that the DM need only say
>a meteor strikes you, you're all dead,
or if you want extra steps
>you meet a hundred flying Tarrasques surrounded by an anti-magic field that negates all spells and magic items, roll initiative.
It's not hard to do, and it has nothing to do with the OSR.

Off you fuck.

I have a metricised retroclone (or so) of Chainmail called "Scalemail" that I posted here a couple years back --which evolved eventually into the thing called Battle aXe. (another wargame for B/X) But I didnt know any other clones, otherwise I would have chosen another name.

It's bound to be broken at some places as the scope is much larger compared to Battle aXe, anon. I released it after realising that I wont be single-handedly able to playtest all probabilities. But it should be okay, in general. I hope it will be of use to someone someway.

>>97710264
>>97710430
>>97710490
In case anybody is interested, I've uploaded the afore-mentioned "metricised clone of Chainmail" called Scalemail from 2015ish here:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/oe8in1
This one is really faithful to the base/mass combat rules of Chainmail, but it doesn't have the man-to-man, fantasy combat rules, or fantasy units. Since those didn't need to be metricised, I guess the guy who did this didn't feel it was necessary to include them.

Not sure who the author is, or where I got it from originally.

>>97710522
That's the thing I made, anon. I'm the same guy
It eventually evolved into this:
https://hexhunt.itch.io/battleaxe

It was my initial attempt to extract the "essence" out of Chainmail to make it more beginner friendly, an an effort to understand the system better.

>>97710564
Oh, I see! Then I can update my archive with this information. Sorry about the confusion, but the current incarnation is very different from your first one.

Your first attempt is from 2015, right?

So a milf barrack slut, that hates men that abandon their families and station.
She probably became a mercenary, because she is infertile, so useless. Making money by day with an axe, and with her legs open at night. She saved some noble and became a knight, now following a goddes of ferility and is on a pilgrimage.
Distracting her enemies with insults, flirting and no underwear, she strikes fear into unfaithful men.
