What system has the best rules for playing as a giant?
>>97175543Stop it I just want to find a systemI'm looking into the stuff that's been suggested
>>97167175>You are big>But everyone else is also big, thereby completely voiding the pointGenius. Don't forget your helmet when you go outside.
>>97167254More like totally pointless. Now the Imperial Ogres homebrew (by one of the designers) for 2E, that's ogre rules with some chest hair. Still pretty far away from being an actual giant, though.

Why was XP for gold largely abandoned as a way to reward players?
>>97180096Wrong. A quiver holds 20 arrows.
>>97180122Wrong.
>>97180055>how many-Enough, especially if you're picking up arrows and emptying enemy quivers, an easy task to do while everyone else is otherwise looting.>but-No, really, that's all that needs to be said. There's a whole slew of activities and actions that adventurers perform that don't really need much attention drawn to them.Do you clean your blades after every battle, wiping all the blood off? Do you repair your armor after every successful attack? Do you piss and shit? I bet you've never even brushed your teeth.
>>97180208If an archer has been slinging arrows every round in several battles where he doesn't have the opportunity to recover any (if the targets are some sort of fiery beasts or he's been firing from a moving vessel, for example), then it might be interesting for the DM to say something like "Your quiver is starting to feel quite light, and you were made aware earlier that you haven't been able to recover your arrows. I'm going to roll 4d4, and that's how many arrows you have left in your quiver when you next check."Or, they can just completely ignore that detail, just like they're ignoring that the fighter's unmagical sword was used on several gargoyles and it didn't even suffer a single nick. It really just depends on what kind of game the DM is trying to run, but ultimately the goal should be to present challenges and not just inconveniences, and generally an archer having to ration their arrows is an annoying inconvenience that the character would have tried to remedy ahead of time. If they know they're going to be on a ship, for example, they might opt to carry twice or more arrows than they would ordinarily.Players are not their characters, and vice versa, and characters are thinking of a lot of things that the players might not be immediately aware of. While it's good to call attention to these sorts of details as early on as possible, if every character but one steps out into sub-freezing temperatures without a heavy coat or cloak because the one player didn't write it on their character sheet, it really makes less sense for that character to just travel under-equipped than for the player to dock a few silver and write in "kick-ass cloak" as if his character had bought it as soon as he was aware of such rare and esoteric knowledge as "The air in this region can be cold."Remembering to pack mundane things is not really that interesting, and hardly a skill. Woe the group that prides themselves on that.

>>97179681I think people actually way overuse bare metal in their paint schemes. maybe less so for fantasy, but for anything modern you almost never have metal that isn't painted or blued or something on military hardware. I complained about this before but leadbelcher is the number 1 offender because it doesn't even look like what people probably want it to represent.
I think it needs darker shading
Feast your eyes on this puddle of aids. Since I found this green bed sheet, I'll likely swap out the neon green forest templates with a darker tone, but I plan to hit up a proper craft store soon and hopefully find grassy terrain. The hills aren't really noticable on my potato cam.This might be better than fighting around beer can buildings but I don't know yet.

Factions are one of the cornerstones of a good dungeon. I'd go as far as to say they may be one of the most important pieces. Without factions, you have nonstop hack-and-slash. Factions enable meaningful player choice and give party faces something to do without trivializing the dungeon.Why don't modern D&D modules have much faction stuff? Classics like The Caverns of Thracia or B4 the Lost City are packed full of them. Are the people designing current dungeons just talentless morons?
>>97179508They do, but they've done the smart thing and moved them out of the dungeons. Rather than "you wander into a dungeon for epic loot" it's "this faction wants you to go here and do this, but this other faction wants this instead" and so on.
>>97179508Module design has been dragonlance style railroads for decades anon. The recent inflation with osr play is a fad and niche within a niche. They make railroad slop because it's what they want. Most players and gms can't handle too much agency and variables in their beer and pretzel game.
>>97179675>I want to have an actual adventure with heroes and villains and intrigue>NO YOU HAVE TO GO INTO THE ANCIENT CRYPT TO GET LOOT BECAUSE..BECAUSE I SAID SO!OSR/TSR is far more railroady than modern games.
How big does a dungeon have to get before it has factions in it, rather than just whatever villain lords over it and his minions?
Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you? Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?>inb4 I don't because I'm not a faggut, hurr durr
>>97177204>They spent more of their fertile years pregnant or lactatingOr just plain starving, you know
>>97139776>Why do I do it?It all depends on the group.With my OSR group of old grogs in our 40s and 50s, I never do. But in the group with my wife, and some of our mutual friends, I'll do it if I have a good idea that I think will be fun.>Why does /tg/ seethe?Because its filled with legions of people who use /tg/ as a replacement for real gaming, where their only knowledge of gameplay is making characters and dreaming of the adventures they'll take them on.
>>97139776Because I'm an evil psychopath and I want to see women get raped, tortured, and killed.
>>97139776>Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?because we're at a point in time were retards honestly have such a slim grasp on the divide between fiction and reality that they honestly cannot understand the concept of NOT self inserting and NOT making every player character be it table top or video game and actual extension of themselves
>>97142284This is what 60% of zoomers think BTW. They all love Nick Fuentes who says that working out, reading and liking women is gay.
So apparently there's a Neopets TTRPG in the works.Always liked Neopets, and I'm quite a fan of Neopia as a setting. Quite excited for this.What does /tg/ think?
>>97179769Last I checked, it was built off of 5e, so I have no interest in it.
>>97179891>built off of 5eGrim, not even the furry art money is enough to break free of it's gravity
>>97179891According to the kickstarter page:>The Neopets TTRPG game system originally started as a D&D 5e system. We decided about a year and a half ago to ultimately make it its own system and have used 5e and Pathfinder as a basis for many of the core, tried and true mechanics of a dice-driven TTRPG system. A d20 is used to resolve many dice rolls, many checks refer to your specific stats, etc. A lot of it is going to feel very familiar to a D&D player. >That being said, some of the original rules were a little clunky, not streamlined to facilitate a more story-driven approach (or a wackier kind of world), or not quite befitting a Neopets-themed experience, so they've undergone some extensive modifications, reworks, and re-imaginings, and half the fun has been finding ways that marry the lore and worldbuilding of Neopia with actual game mechanics and metaphysical explanations for certain things. Ever wonder why Paintbrushes hum, or got a sneaking suspicion that Pet Rock is actually sentient? We've gotten to dive into some of those things.
>>97180240So is there going to be a mon collecting aspect, or just an RPG in the Neopets universe?>either way I don't think that an RPG whose only notable aspect is mining nostalgia can be successful based on that single thing
>>97180261pretty sure it's the latterneopia's lore is kind of awesome though, so i wouldn't say nostalgia is its "only notable aspect"

I always found it weird that D&D was maligned as witchcraft, satanism, and anti-social. From what I can tell, TTRPGs just increase sociability, problem solving, conscientiousness, and probably improves self-concept through skills and self-esteem. Did any anons here live through Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons or the Satanic Panic? Sorry if this is boring or repetitive to others, but I want to study the social aspects of TTRPGs and how it exists as a subculture. I think, by and large, this is the best board on 4chan because people really care about this hobby and want to help others get into it. Despite the shitposting, I think the community is vibrant and the games I played through Find a Game threads were all filled with genuine, nice people. So it irks me that the Satanic Panic tried to paint subcultures as evil. Maybe it's because people think TTRPGs overlap with extreme music or just teenage entertainment in general.
>>97178756You seem like a condescending prickCool
>>97178738If you used your pea brain for something other than thinking about things like trannies and communism it would dawn on you that there being a few real Satanist cults and there being sexual abuse of kids does not mean things like the crazy claims made of McMartin preschool, that their are a insane amount of Satanists in the US, and/or that everything that is not fundy Christian shit is part of some plot to turn everyone into Satanists is true. Looking pass retards going durr durr this happen and looking what was claimed you see that it was a blind and very stupid panic.
>>97178793>calls names>get mad when called namesKid alright
>>97177472Zoomers are all raised parentless on cocomelon and will have so much plastic and aluminium in their brains that it wont even be a fair comparison
>>97176797The average right wing white hetero male is as thin skinned as that, if not worse. They get triggered by different skin color, women having rights, in fact just about anything that gives human rights to other human groups make them screech like toddlers.So, why the double standard? The LGBT people are actually under a tangible, very literal threat of violence and systemic oppression. White men aren't.
Hey /tg/ here's the origins and explanation of the xenomorph and its setting.-Explains the Weyland Yutani world and offers a bonus animated story-Explains various features of the xenomorph such as how it actually sees without eyes-Explains HR Giger and Dan O Bannon's original inspirations for the xenomorph-Explains logically how the xenomorph is closer to the truth and is a combo of 2 civilizations.-Provides 3 entire civilizations for the xenomorph-Shows images of what the real xenomorph homeworld looks like and its bestiary-Links to 1 extra bonus document explaining the Space Jockey's world.-Great music fitting the atmosphere of the setting throughout the document.-Great artwork along with the explanations.Enjoy.

Thanks for the ideas, OP.
>>97120921>offers a bonus animated story.Nice. Aliens, afterall, is mainly about the bonus sitation.
Alien, especially the original script is also about making a better life for yourself /biz/ style with your own island. In the original script the protagonist actually grabs the space jockey skull as a trophy and an artifact to sell.

>>97177540That's from a kickstarter update, Poots took that photo.

I don't know, it's weird, but that comes with the territory I suppose.

>>97103576I'm building a campaign set in an asian country but I also want to give my players the option to play as their preferred characters without having to make them play as 'lore friendly' OCs.For example if I set a campaign in China, the military police are gonna be profiling a black netrunner or a white solo with a tourist visa as a potential troublemaker, potentially making it harder for my players to pull off their heist.Any advice?
>>97179598I never counted the time during combat unless it is necessary, like rescuing some person before he falls to a vat of acid or wave fights and their in-betweens. We all know time passes in basic mook fights but it is treated like a '[x] seconds had passed' or something like that when combat ends.>The math for not particularly tough characters is not favorableMost of my player characters who die are the weak ones who have a low body stat, rather than the stacking modifier.>>97179644>>97179650long story short; the party's plan went tits up from something unexpected thrown at them and the netrunner mistimed on closing the door.
