>>93249943Personally I hate fluff stories and almost never read them.Might be necessary to fully flesh out your setting, tho.I like more vehicles and maps. My style is to provide all the tools and goodies for players, and then let them do as they will. Not everyone does that.If you're scared of bloat, then edit ruthlessly.Some sample adventures and ideas wouldn't go amiss (unless they're already in there and I missed them).
I've been thinking, why would anyone join Khorne in warhammer? Feels like he's the most worthless chaos god.Even if you are warrior and want to get better than anyone else at killing, slaanesh is way better bet.
>>93252039>slaanesh is way better bet.This!Sickly, sinful, spectacles stand, shuffle, shamble and saunter shamelessly in mine scandalized sight! I suggest a solution... Surely such sedition should sour and succumb to Sigvald - the salacious, scandalous and sensational servant of Slaanesh! Son of Succubi, scion of sordid acts and slayer of squalid serfs! See how I stroll, stride, swagger and swirl, spin, slash and stab at stupid, senseless scum! Soon they shall swoon, shall seek solace and death from sundry torments wrought on them by my strategic, severing, scintillating shower of shimmering strikes! Send for the sword - summon Sliverslash!
>>93252039>slaanesh is way better bet.But only if you happen to be a novel protagonist with the power of PLOT on your side. Otherwise you might end up like these fine fellas here
>>93254767Ah, what pitiful prattle from the mouth of a misinformed malcontent! This feeble fellow dares to decry the divine devotion to Slaanesh? He warns of the so-called perils, pointing to poor, pathetic pariahs as examples? How laughable!Behold, the true testament of Slaanesh's touch! I, Sigvald, stand as the splendid, supreme scion, the ultimate expression of our lord's favor.

Do you like the sillier vampire weaknesses, like crosses, garlic, inability to enter a home without being invited, and so on?
>>93250102i thought this was leprechaun lore
>>93254460Wow how did you get a drawing signed by Dracula?
>>93254728Which is basically why his knockoffs like Castlevania Dracula amd Strahd were wizards who threw fireballs and teleported all over the place
>>93249846I've always wanted to play a vampire in something like DnD to see how I can adapt to all these shitty weaknesses, but the system would have to allow for it. VtM vampires are too functional
>>93254795An old Doctor Who episode did it and took it even further, with a Soviet soldier successfully driving off several vampires using his CCCP pin badge because he was a true believer in the communist cause.

Use Wahapedia, do your best. All it takes.>>93253776A lot of the compendium teams if used well can be competitive. The game is hugely about the decisions (placement, trades, etc) you make on the table. Even comparing 40% to 60% win rate (so one team is 50% more winning then the other) that's not that huge a spread, the custodes team is strong, hell technically plaguemarines are strong (they don't lose fights, they loose on points), Warp coven are competitive. It's a bit of an expert player flex but its very possible. Player skill is a far bigger gulf then the hypothetical 50% from the book.>>93254336Would a chaos terminator and maybe 3 pink daemons get to being a fairer fight?

>>93254877If you're playing age of hannibal, you can expect between 36 and 72 models. Those are both ends of the spectrum, 36 would be a super elite army and 72 would be 6 units of levys
>>93254899From what I gathered, literally a single box of Victrix Republicans Romans would get me a playable army for Age of Hannibal. But I'm probably going to move up from there to something else.
>>93254921Yeah, for Rome, your only restriction is you can only use a single unit of mounted warriors iirc. When I started I got a box of greek hoplites and then found out you can only field a unit of 8, so I got tons of hoplites laying around
>>93254956Far as I can tell most factions don't seem to have too many limitations. I guess it makes sense giving Romans a small amount of warriors considering they aren't exactly known as a cav army.
>>93255109Yeah and you can always recruit some mercenaries if you want to field cavalry

I'd be perfectly happy for sexless catladies and wineaunts to get their topless shots and prosthetic dicks flopping around if it wasn't for the fact that even a hint of a suggestion of a smidgeon of attractive female sexuality - not even nudity, just a hot woman who's not dressed in a fucking burka - drives them into a frothing rage denouncing the show as "cisheteropatreonormative violence", any man who says they liked it as basically-a-rapist(honestly one day a lot of guys are just going to say "fuck it, we're doing the time anyway, might as well do the crime" and then I'm gonna fucking laugh), and any women who liked it - if they acknowledge they exist at all - as useful idiots.

>>93246842Bald with fat mullet dreadlocks is definitely a look.
Does anyone have interesting/uncommon art for ogryn boneheads?
>>93252311Four legs, two wings, a tail. Must have horns.
>>93254111A lot of people think of them as reptiles, but dragons are traditionally magical hybrids. Western dragons are a cross between a snake, a bird of prey, and a big cat. Eastern dragons have many more animals rolled in, called the "nine resemblances". So by comparison, dinos look very un-fantastical.I enjoy this Grenadier/Mirliton dragon ironically though. It's just silly.
>>93254659On the other hand, this dino-inspired dragon works, because it's neither fully dragon nor fully dinosaur.
>>93254687Last one, from Alternative Armies.This one looks good but there isn't really much dragon in it.Note that both the unironically good dragon-dinos don't have wings, because they're not inspired by pterosaurs and anything else would look weird.(the previous one was from Dark Sword)
>>93252311I always thought this guy looked awesome. Dark Sun dragons are weird but something about them just looks right.
is getting attacked on sight for playing a non human race even a fun mechanic?even if it's a weak af human going up againts a demi human for some reason it just slows don't the game and becomes annoying
>>93249989Not really. Even if you dial it down towards simply being confronted by the guards and undergoing an interrogation, it either ends up wasting time, getting handwaved, or with the player having to create a new character. Playable races need to be able to exist in population centers without causing major issues. If a race can't do that, it shouldn't be playable.
>>93254436I disagree on the grounds that there's tons of campaigns that go nowhere near population centers (unless they're raiding them). War campaigns, borderlands campaigns, underdog campaigns, bandit and pirate campaigns, tomb raiding campaigns, etc etc etc.
>>93249989You will inevitably be confronted by the players at one point or another beginning to butcher the mob/ the guards/ the soldiers/ the locals, for even if you try to hide, sooner or later you WILL fail a check. So unless you plan a "slaughter every racist human and overthrow the racist government" campaign, yeah, it will be annoying, if not outright game breaking.
As another anon said, it doesn't even make sense a portion of the time because some weakling isn't really going to go and try to fight a player character in a group just because they are a race they don't like on account of being literal weaklings. Most common people are not even considered level 1, and then you're having to deal with the group too potentially.
>>93249989It's kind of tedious to do the whole song and dance with every new settlement. Make some concession to the fact that the character needs to keep a low profile, and move on.
Previous thread: >>93166217 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 those who pay attention to file extensions.Never post direct links to the archive anywhere.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: Which are your favorite TL9+ weapons?
>>93253749I still don't understand that reputation. I know and I've played DnD, I DM'd a campaign from lvl 1 to lvl 15, I played a character from lvl 1 to level 12. DnD IS more complex, each character requieres more dedicated knowledge, more spells, variants, feats and templates than the ones you need to know to make a working GURPS Character.GURPS offers more possibilities, but it does not demand for complexity. In DnD/pathfinder if you go for the straightforward vanilla rules, you're being suboptimal and will need a lot of help, luck or die.
>>93253791Nta but same, the bad reputation imo comes mainly from 2 sources: Vehicles and shit newblood GMs throwing the whole basic set at players saying "make a character" and/or (in my experience) shit adhd GMs picking gurps and presenting it with ass houserules without spelling it.
>>93253885First game you ever play of any TTRPG game should be with your character numbers, backstory and some fancy pictures.If you like it, you ask for the basic/lite rules.If you like it, you may ask for the core rules.If you still like it, you go into the advanced/homebrew rules.And that's in the shit-ballistical "using dynamite as fuel" fast track.
>>93253791I totally understand it: it's not laid out like a normal rpg. Everything else is a complete, ready-to-go package, almost always with a setting attached. GURPS is laid out like a reference book, which it basically is. It's not an "rpg", it's just a "g". You far, far overestimate the abilities and interest kf average tabletop player, most don't value it much beyond fucking around with friends and randomly throwing dice
>>93255025<rant>But *I* also enjoy fucking around with friends and randomly throwing dice. Would love to do so with a system that doesn't punish me harshly for not taking the 2nd ratial template at lvl 5 to get the MultiCleave feat that enables me to be a Cleavemaster at Lvl9 in order to stay marginally ahead of a red queen racing regarding DPS vs what basically are goblins with higher AC and more HP.</rant>That's a value I reckon to some of the PbtAs: they concede so easily to martial victory that ther are unfulfilling, so players and DMs have to focus in _other_ sources of satisfaction to make the story work. Things like plot, or story, or consistence. Because strategic combat is a big null space for dopamine, so you end up playing their game... wich was their whole plan.::looks at :aggravated damage: in Monsterheart:: PFFFF

>>93254894I like Forgotten Realms, but the implicit game feels more at home in AD&D than 3.5's mechanics.I want to like Eberron as THE 3.5 setting, but it vaguely rubs me the wrong way without being able to point to anything specific. Maybe I just need to embrace the 2000s steampunk cringekino.
>>93254929I dunno I can accept Eberron existing if I take into account all the crazy previous settings, but I wouldn't take it for THE setting either.It's weird, Greyhawk should be the case but them using the local gods in the PHB doesn't do it for me, either, for some reason. Or maybe it's all the weird tech they include in the PHB equipment. Or all the 2000s-style artwork. I just wanted default generic medieval fantasy for the basics.
>>93254929>Eberron as THE 3.5 settingWhich is funny because absolutely none of the canon abilities work properly in 3.5 mechanics.
>>93254929IMO FR makes more sense if you're not using 3.5 books outside of Core + FR books, which is how I always ran it. "Complete ___" was as GM-Discretion as Dragon Magazine or stuff for other settings. But I will grant you, it's still a higher power level than suggested by the novels, in terms of spellcasting staying power, ease of resurrection magic, and a few other things. 3e definitely juiced up the character power level.
>>93254981Can you elaborate?>>93254980I wonder what a setting built around some of the implicit elements of SRD Core (XPH, my beloved) would look like, while still being thematically evocative.
