>>97253302>hope to see more from youHuh? I thought you guys were tired of me already. Hell, let me look through the threadslave… Last big story I wrote was roughly a month ago, but Kaoru’s been in Cross Examination and a couple of other recent JITE stories. I honestly kinda thought you guys had been getting too much of her in comparison to stories revolving around other Student Council members. Then again, it’s the holidays, so everything’s been slowing down, and I guess one could say I’ve also been a little paranoid about doing too much.Fear not, anon: I am far from done with JITE. I fucking love this character
>>97253328>I thought you guys were tired of me already.It's mostly shitposters, and they are tired of your presence in thread rather than the writing you do. I don't think it's that big a deal, you just stand out more now that the thread is almost dead. Nta, by the way.
>>97253508I guess so. I don’t know, I like the stuff we do here and I find myself checking in often. But the insecurities about posting too often are different: I have this paranoia about co-opting JITE because I feel like I’m writing too much or I’m doing too much, but it’s not my fault that the thread’s been slowing down. That’s just natural
>>97253532As long as you keep it on topic, it's fine.
>>97253537Sure. Don’t get me wrong, I wanna do stuff for Martial Path too. Hell, I’d do stuff for Fantasy Village, but I’m kinda confused as to what to even do there. I forgot how many updates I have to give to Fathoms’ stats, and I’d have to settle on something particular to have her investigate or develop. As per Martial Path, I kinda wanted to have Jian train with someone, maybe Linghao?
In my games, high level wizards turn to stone.
>>97249278I don’t play or read about Warhammer. What happens to chaos dwarfs? Is being stone a good thing?
>>97195417No they don't.
>>97252435Normally Dwarfs in Warhammer can't wield magic at all because they were made so by the Old Ones (in part because they wanted them resistant to Chaos). Dwarfs however created Rune Magic that is a bypass for them and their inability to use magic.Chaos Dwarfs however can use magic because they were granted it by their own Chaos God Hashut after they abandoned their traditions and Ancestor Gods for pragmatism in order to survive all the shit that was falling on them in the Dark Lands. When they did embrace him and changed over the generations, they got their magics (including the Lore of Hashut which is unique only to them).Problem is, and it was mentioned before, that Dwarfs were not build to wield magic. And the more their Daemonsmits and Sorcerer Prophets use their powers and channel the Winds of Magic the more they turn into stone.And no, being turned into a stone sculpture IS NOT a good thing for them (in fact it's not good for anyone). In fact the main temple of Hashut in Zharr-Nagrund has the main road to it decorated with stone sculptures that uses to be Daemonsmiths and Sorcerer Prophets that succumbed to the stone curse.
>>97253098Grim
>>97253558Yeah. But they use it either way due to the fact that it is power that is useful to them.They have to however conserve their powers and be careful while casting. Even then the curse of stone is still a thing and it simply very slowly affects them.
>Be me.>Lord General of the Nordican 1225th/ defacto governor of Nordica II.>For the last few years we've been abandoned by the wider Imperium to an ice world that very much resembles our home.>In that time we've constructed the city of New Yur.>A sprawling metropolis surrounded by a network of trenches visible from orbit dug by the kriegers and valhallans.>We've also made more or less peace with the orks we were originally sent here to fight, and even made alliances with the ruinous powers, but those truces only last for one day a year.>A day that is fast approaching.>Candlemass brings peace, but also war to Nordica II every year without fail.>This year however the orks have decided to convert the former colloseum constructed by khorne worshipers in the ruins of a space hulk that crashed here into an arena for a sport they're apparently calling "Blood Bowl.">I will be attending the first of these games on Candlemass day, which is set to pit greenskins against some surviving khorne worshipers they've captured.>Emperor willing this will be the beginning of true peace to our world.>But knowing Candlemass that seams unlikely and I'll be waiting the whole time for some new threat to emerge.

And then there are the Space Marines, who are extremely good at everything, but the coach isn’t using too many of them yet to create the illusion of fairness

They will spend so much time picking apart why I said those things, they will completely forget why they found the doll version of me funny to begin with. Slaaneshi are almost as bad as Tzeentchians when it comes to unnecessary scheming, and both seem to assume everything things the same way they do. Speculating about the Slaaneshi Necron I fought should also distract them, unless it is something they already know about.>I head back to guest room of Khorne’s Palace and get in only a few more minutes of conversation before I am informed that Cummissar Analstasia has somehow become trapped in Khorne’s Realm. >No idea how that happened, and I don’t really care, but in the spirit of maintaining the only day per year of peace between Khornates and Slaaneshi, I use my extra special Khornemas magic to teleport to Analstasia’s location, teleport her back to the arena on Nordica II, and then teleport myself back to the guest room in Khorne’s Palace, where I convince the daemonettes to watch the Khorne versus Slaanesh Blood Bowl game that has just started.
>>97246767>>97251593>>97252704>Be Cummissar Analstasia Van Gina of the Schlick LXIXth, formerly Vanessa >Shisrak gets me out of Khorne’s Realm and brings me back to the arena, where I find my subordinate daemonettes squabbling over who should temporarily have my job >I find out that the second Blood Bowl game has started, Slaaneshi versus Khornates, and I head back up to my box seat to watch, and support my mentor Dixie >I definitely haven’t forgotten about Priscilla though >My subordinates claim to know where she is hiding, so I order them to find her and bring her to my box seat >Now that I know she is potentially a spy for an unknown organization, I plan on tying her to a chair, and then dosing her with extra extra doses of my emotion heightening truth syrum, as well as plenty of good old fashion aphrodisiacs >Hopefully she spends the game alternating between telling me all her darkest secrets and telling me what she wishes I would do to her in the carnal sense, but it may take some trial and error to get the doses right to produce a mix of both results, and also counterbalance the effects of Old Krampus’s mind control magic >I use my own magic to restore my appearance to that of Vanessa’s old body, but with a bit more...shape...than before >My clothes are completely gone by this point, and I can’t be bothered to do anything about it right now, maybe I will check some of my presents at the half-time show, the ones that weren’t crushed by the Space Marine and/or soaked in the blood of my fallen servants during his brief rampage through my box seat that is >The only thing that survived the trip to Khorne’s Realm is the mysterious Necron artifact, but it soaked up so much Khornate energy it just looks like a half-melted blob of bronze and gore. No idea if it even has any value at all at this point, but I will return it to its proper owner once I have had the time to think of some excuses for its condition

>>97253006I can't imagine this making sense to anyone who doesn't know what D&D classes already are and how stats work, or being helpful to anyone who does.>"How do I make a character?">Well, strength (and constitution) is for melee weapon classes like fighter and barbarian.>"Got it, thanks."
>>97253006You just listed some of the factors that might be important, without actually addressing the why and some of the how. What do they want to do with their character? Each class has things that they are good at doing or are part of the class identity. Decide on which of those things are most important and then pick the corresponding class.Next, what kind of background does the character have? This will matter both mechanically (will give you proficiency in skills that make sense for your character as well as a bonus to stats that are important for your character's class) as well as for roleplay (a character who grew up as a Sailor would be played differently than one that was a Farmer). The ones listed in the guidebook are mostly fine, but you can also work with your DM to make your own if you have a specific idea for a character's backstory (or if you want to be a Monk that isn't a Sailor).You also get to pick your race (species now? I forget), which gives your character additional abilities and informs how your character roleplays. Think about what your character's culture is like and if you want to have certain attributes.After you do those things and decide if you want to have the equipment each class and background provides, then you roll and/or allocate your stats, write down your class and background abilities, and pick your spells if you have them.

Previous thread: >>97111514GURPS 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: How often do you use an official GURPS setting? Which are your favorites?
>>97252829>>97253317Relatively unrealistic at high skill levels, but I guess it works
>>97253480how to do this in GURPS
>>97253484Imbue 3 (Limited Skill Access, Multi-Shot, -80%; Limited Skill Application, Guns only, -50%) [8] + Multi-Shot (Guns) DX+0 [8]Pack it as a single 16 points advantage.
>>97253505Nice.
The DM reveals that all this time, the 'Chaotic Evil invading soldiers' you've been fighting and slaughtering were actually Lawful Good innocent untrained peasants. They were tricked/convinced into believing they were fighting for survival and defense of their impoverished homeland.THE PALADIN FALLS AND LOSES ALL POWERS!!!Do you feel like a hero yet?
If it was annoying and rather twerpy of Spec Ops the Line to do it, then it'd be even more annoying and morally grandstanding of a DM to do this shit to their players if in order to get this scenario, they have to essentially lie to the players just to emotionally manipulate them into feeling bad for acting upon incomplete or flatout wrong information their DM gave them.
>feel bad for the enemy mooks, they-Don't care let me kill people.
>>97252494A a paladin isn't batman. Just because he fights with honor and cares for the good of all non-demonic souls doesn't mean he has to make stupid decisions strategically just to go soft on someone doing evil things but is actually le nice guy. In fact, a paladin won't even take prisoners if it's not feasible. Best I can do is you're all hogtied to trees in the safest spot of the city if I didn't already disembowl you while you were TRYING TO FUCKING RAID A CITY.Now the governor will decide your fate, and the death penality is a moral and legal option.
>>97252494If they were fighting for the defense of their homeland WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY DOING MARCHING ON MY LAND?
>>97252494This entire situation would be resolved if they just brought back the atonement system as a real feature.Literally if you do an chaotic or evil act either unknowingly or because its part of the greater good, then you have the Paladin when free of current obligations be obligated to seek out an appropriate priest or priest-like figure who gives him a penance task after which he has atoned and is good to go again.That way falling is relegated to the truly negligent or unrepentant.

>threads warsCome on, man.
>>97253513>How could anyone have known about the other one until after being notified?Apparently everyone in this thread figured it out.You know not every thread always gets linked in the previous one? That's pretty common with slow generals.
>>97253522It happened over night. Check the time stamps.
>>97253519If we took the thread responsibilities seriously we wouldn't be having this discussion
>>97253522Hog wash, you want us to give up our standards because other threads do? When this general was good it linked it every time. Not linking means no one cares, the content lacks any meaning and disruption persists.
You should ALWAYS cheese every encounter. If you EVER end up in a situation that even remotely resembles a fair fight, just run away and wait until you can rig the situation to your favor. Use your fucking brain. Even if it is highly improbable for you to lose a given fight, statistically speaking, you'll still eventually croak if you keep taking those bets. Don't leave it up to chance. It's easier than you might think, you just need to use your noggin. It's not a video game. You can do whatever the fuck you want.Just the other night my party ran into a melee monster in a narrow ass room that they for some reason decided to ram their dicks into until someone died. When I suggested that we retreat for a bit and lure it into the room with the big ass statues so we can all just climb them and shoot it to death, they looked at me like I just escaped from the looney bin. They all died of course.
>>97250948Damn I haven't DM'd in a long time, has the community really become so lame that even a tactical retreat is a faux pas? When the fuck did trpgs go from being a careful dungeon crawl with death aeound every corner that required you to maximize your characters attack stragey, to some lame jerk off session that's more about *feels* and epic scenes than it is crunching numbers and trying to get out alive? Has the gaming community really become so lame?
>>97252729If you don't care then it should be no problem for my character to leave your imbecilic ass to die?
>>97253452Nah, there's a big difference in going "Let's get to a more tactically advantageous position" and "Let's cheese every encounter unless I have an overwhelming advantage". The latter is just a waste of people's time, particularly if the one trying to cheese encounters them complains about not being able to level up or get good loot.
>>97253472Actually, there is no difference. Either you're playing to your advantage or you aren't.
>>97253475Nah, big difference. I'm sorry if you're too stupid to understand it.
Does anyone else feel like the Byzantine Empire is the closest thing human-kind had to an Elven civilization analogy during our actual history's middle ages? Or am I crazy?Even the part where their highly advanced culture was eventually wiped off the face of the Earth and forgotten in most normie perceptions of history.

>>97253416This>>97222151Although you make some points, you can't ignore the corruption and civil wars, and the labyrinthine bureaucracy that just doesn't match the elves. That's all.
Why were so many of the "OG" game designers insufferable faggots? It seems like the vast majority of game designers from the 70s and 80s were self-obsessed dickheads who openly hated and looked down on their customer base. There were obviously exceptions, and some like Gygax would go on to regret and apologize for it, but still, what made so many "professionals" back then such fags?Pic related: WFRP author James Wallis's response to a letter criticizing how railroaded The Enemy Within campaign was.

>>97250997>Why were so many of the "OG" game designers insufferable faggots?Because they had to deal with people like you. Becoming misanthropes is a perfectly logical defense mechanism after dealing with self-righteous entitled ungrateful faggots like yourself as their players.
>>97251504>>97250997Why are modern trpg players so fucking gay? Go read a visual novel if you just want to inagine yourself being some fantasy hero with zero adversaries. Someone has to be the foil to the party and only the dm has that power.

What's the /tg/ consensus on Dragonbane? Looks like a neater, faster 5e clone with not as much bloat in it, which is exactly what i'm looking for.
I like a lot of the pieces from reading the book, but it's not interesting enough for me to actually use it in its entirety.
>>97253170>no no it's totally different bro you see this time you want the small number instead of the big numberKek, not classless btw.
>>97253263I admit i didn't check it out extensively (because a nth generic fantasy game doesn't suit my needs) and i can misremember stuff but i'm pretty sure "classes" in dragonbane are akin to brp professions (as in templates of abilities) you can safely rearrange as you like. Also if all it takes to you for a game being 5e is having a d20 then even modiphius Conan must be a 5e clone.
>>97253088It's DoD but with a D20, card based intiative and in English.
>>97253088It's what I grew up playing. It's nothing like DND in terms of rules but the original Swedish name was Drakar och demoner. Many people over here think Dragonbane is just the Swedish translation of DND and not its own game.
