Previous Thread: >>94771321GURPS 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.TQ: Does anyone actually use Realm Management?
>>95065764Perception roll, though I think depending on the trap mechanism a GM might also use specifically Vision or Hearing. The Danger Sense advantage makes it so that the GM always secretly rolls it for you when you are in danger, though you won't know exactly where the trap is this way. You use the Traps skill to disarm them.
Whenever you're firing a gun, you hit them again for every multiple of Recoil under the target number. A couple of questions:1. Why is the recoil on almost every gun 2? Is it a balance thing?2. Could this be made into a generalized rule, where you spend degrees of success for extra effects? Are there any supplements that do this?
>>95068287>Why is the recoil on almost every gun 2? Is it a balance thing?Its a "most guns don't really have a lot of recoil" thing. You'll only see higher values on a few shitty smgs or the really big gunsrecoil of 1 entails zero or near-zero recoil, it means shit like a laser where its exactly on target for as long as you hold it there, recoil 3 means stuff like a handgun firing a rifle cartridge, like a 223 revolver and what not, recoil 4 only exists in handguns on stuff like the m1873 which is a hand cannon while the only rcl 5 i know of outside of HMG's being hipfired is picrel, which is a hell of a lot of gun for one hand.
>>95068287>>95068591Its also worth noting that all shotgun pellet spread counts as recoil 1.
>>95068738also don't forget to mention about shotgun shots from up close act as a death booms rather than heavily spread pellets B409
Is it true that pic rel was partly born out of the author's D&D campaign? What's up with all the male anal rape?
>>95037924>>95039129>>95054080>>95068397copeIf you want happy fantasy, then stick to trash like sanderson If you want a world that's blacker than pitch then read bakker>Cnaiür screamed. “Show me your mighty warriors!” His limbs fevered by all-conquering hatred, he cut them down, weak and strong alike, fighting like one mad with heartbreak, hacking shields until arms were broken, pounding figures until they stumbled and spouted plumes of blood. The advancing ranks engulfed them, but still Cnaiür and his Utemot killed and killed, until the turf beneath their feet became bloody muck, treacherous with corpses. The Nansur relented, scrambled back several paces, gaping at the Utemot chieftain. Sheathing his broadsword, Cnaiür vaulted the bodies heaped before him. He caught a wounded straggler by the throat, crushed his windpipe. Roaring, he heaved the thrashing man above his head. “I am the reaver!” he cried. “The measure of all men!” He sent the body crashing at their feet. “Is there no cock among you?” He spat, then laughed at their astonished silence. “All cunts, then.” He shook the blood from his mane, raised his broadsword anew.The greatest fantasy writer since tolkien>And he thought of Proyas. On the worst nights he hugged himself in the blackness of his tent, screaming and sobbing. He beat the earth with his fists, stabbed holes with his knife, then fucked them. He cursed the world. He cursed the heavens. He cursed Anasûrimbor Moënghus and his monstrous son. He thought, So be it. On the best nights he made no camp at all, but instead rode to the nearest Shigeki village, where he would kick in doors and glory in screams. On a whim, he avoided those doors marked with what he imagined was lamb’s blood. But when he found all the doors so marked, he ceased to discriminate. “Murder me!” he would roar at them. “Murder me and it stops!” Bawling men. Shrieking girls and silent women. He would take what compensation he could.
>>95068568This is really embarrassing
>>95036923I heard it was because he was fed up with the philosophy community for being so pretentious and decided to write fantasy because it's considered the lowest genre.

You don't even have a campaign, just an idea you want to develop? You're welcome here. While the rest of /tg/ is arguing over monstergirl mating and which way rivers are supposed to flow, we're here to help you turn your thoughts into an actual finished product.As the successor to the Storythreads, we're also open to /tg/ related fanfiction (D&D, Warhammer, Battletech, whatever). In fact, if you've written any vaguely /tg/-related short stories, you can try them out here.

>>95063028You'd want to make sure they don't come off as just being autistic. Maybe they just have poor impulse control? Like, they'd be late to work because they decided to go and get a nice breakfast on the way. Something that is dumb and can get them called out but doesn't make them look like a complete moron.
>character thrown on an Odyssey-style two decade road trip away from his wife and son>when he finally gets back, he doesn't recognize his son>son kicks the shit out of him, in contrast to classic 'oh no killed me son' myths>as soon as he’s finished, he helps his dad up and helps him heal to full because he just wanted to check that he was stronger than his dad and couldn't spill the beans early to make sure he would fight with all his strength>father is understandably baffledUnder what circumstances or with what psyche profile is this Saiyan-like behavior justified?
>>95063494>>95064204I intended them to mistrust laughter because he has been the butt of jokes before. I based it off Victarion Greyjoy, who couldn't grasp jokes made at his expense. I was thinking also he may not understand metaphorical things too well.But yeah I can see that as autistic too. Hmm, a bit of a conundrum
>>95059963>So they deserve to be the ones filling those organizations, because we men have opted out.I still say it's more pushed out than opted out. I don't think the fact that men are reading less is a result of fewer men going to college; you certainly don't need a college education to read the kind of stuff women are reading. I think both colleges and the publishing industry are examples of the phenomenon that once women gain the upper hand in an institution they start actively working to make everything cater to their preferences, not necessarily deliberately at the expense of men (although there's definitely some deliberate discrimination), but certainly regardless of whether it comes at men's expense. As you say, the percentage of male students in colleges is dropping like a stone, and they're still far more interested pushing more women into STEM (or pushing more men out of STEM, which is effectively what it amounts to), and promoting their efforts to make campus female-friendly.Neither colleges nor the publishing industry are at the real root of the problem, though. Reading habits tend to be set at an early age. There is a deep inequality between girls and boys stretching right back to the earliest years of education. I've never understood how people can talk about men failing at college; it's not as if performance is equal until the end of high school and then when men get the freedom to choose their own path they reject education. The gap is obvious right from the beginning, and that being the case unless you're going to take the position that five year old boys need to take more responsibility and adjust their attitude, it's not that males are failing in the education system, it's that the education system is failing males.Which therefore has an impact on how many men enjoy reading as a hobby, compounded by the focus of the publishing industry on work that appeals more to their overwhelmingly female staff.
>>95059963>But only 75% of the number of men who went to college, a decade ago, go today. Mens' education is dropping like a stone and the fact that so few of us still read is a symptom of that, not a cause.You don't need to go to college to become more interested in reading books.

>>95066969You're not supposed to post as a mage on schreck. Canonically, such posts are by vampires who are merely trolling.I don't care and in my opinion such administration doesn't really make sense, but that is how it is (in VtM).
>>95066969Generally it's poor form to post as a non-vampire in /schreck/ threads. It's supposed to be a hidden kindred network, after all.
>>95068744It's also supposed to be a nosferatu only network, so we failed that at the first hurdleI agree that a Mage seems out of place, outside of maybe a singular thread bit
>>95068836Don't think that's been true since revised
>>95064709Well. At least it's not another fire.
>GM introduces a little girl NPC Players are immediately suspicious of her and let her frequently into dangerous situations >GM introduces a young boy NPC Players become swiftly attached to him despite his less placid and more disobedient temperament And become incredibly protective of him and try very hard to make sure he does not come to harm I’ve seen this phenomenon in several groups And I still wonder from time to time why players are like this
>>95066583Because everybody knows lolis are bad news. If the GM introduces a little girl NPC, there's a 90 5 chance that there's supposed to be a "surprise twist" where she's revealed to actually be evil or some kind of monster. It's so played out that most players assume that every little girl they meet is actually a voracious succubus or something. You don't see that nearly as much with little boys, because boys don't have as much of a connotation with purity and innocence as little girls so the reveal wouldn't be as shocking. And also because most shotacons are 30-something women who are unlikely to be GMing, making GM who want to inject their voreloli fetish into a game much more common than whatever the shotacon equivalent would be.>>95068054This thread is a lot closer to old /tg/ than endless generals and bitching about other people not playing games.
>>95068629loli won't harm you if proper containment procedures are followed
It's always fascinating observing someone who has never played in a single session, let alone ever cracked open any book, try to talk about RPGs like this. It's obviously just a transparent pedophile trying to get /tg/ to talk about raping little boys, but he has no idea how playing in a game actually works. So he comes up with this vague "introduces an NPC" concept and hopes that's good enough.
>>95068629>>95068653And could possibly be a useful asset!
The killer kiddo trope is so overplayed it's even made its way into video games. Fear & Hunger builds its canon ending around it, lol.
>Slaanesh used to be the ''rule breaking faction''>Slaanesh was censored in to the ''just pink guys faction''
>>95052149>She Who Thirsts
>>95063593That's how Eldar call him, they are afraid of using his name at all, so them also misgendering chaos god they are afraid so much is in character.Slaanesh daemons, other chaos gods and chaos worshipers call Slaanesh Dark Prince, Prince of Pleasure, Lord of Excess.
>>95065769They don't even refer to him by name lol.
>>95035439EC is unironically more unified as an army than any of the other ones simply because it doesn't borrow things like Slaughterbrutes and Tzaangors from age of sigmar or have a bunch of dumb chaff like poxwalkers filling up their roster. It's just chaos marines who wear bellbottom genes and have fucked up BDSM faces. They are quite literally the most consistent and desirable army in terms of a pure value perspective, as their combat patrol is the only one that doesn't have 1/3 the value tied up in shit like tzaangor upgrade sprues.
>>95034650In the end, you're going to run into the problem that most of the things associated with Slaanesh don't really translate to miniature soldiers in the way that the other gods do.Suppose that Chaos marine in your pic spends all his free time lounging on silk cushions in an art gallery surrounded by nude dancers while slaves feed him caviar and lick his balls. A really properly Slaaneshi lifestyle. Well, that's what he's doing in his free time, but when he's in battle, he's just a Chaos marine in pink armor. See the problem here?

>>94988707How do you portray religion in your setting. What are the different churches and sects like?I like the churches in my setting to be full of virtuous and morally impeccable individuals.>That's not how churches are in real life! It's so unrealistic and idealized! If it's a fantasy setting where evil monsters threaten human civilization and gods are real beings who constantly display their power to mortals, then it makes sense that people would be more faithful and more righteous than in real life. It also makes no sense that humans would still be at war with each other when the threat of evil armies of orcs and shit exist. I think humans would naturally band together under the common banner of their species. and probably form alliances with elves and other human-like races. But that's a different topic altogether.
>>95066751>because fear and danger and constant war make people worse (not better)Not true. Fear is just a part of our survival instinct. It's only bad if you fear something irrationally. But if a real threat exists then of course you should be afraid, and do something to defend yourself against it. And I never said that there would be constant war. My argument is that there would be less war and conflict, because human beings would no longer be fighting with each other and instead focus their efforts on defending human civilization from external threats.>So if you want to be good and stay good then you need to scrutinize your leadersGood point, I agree. And there isn't any incongruence with that statement and anything that I have said.
>>95065964Marriage has very little to do with love. The Greeks had it right making them domains of separate goddesses. Domains that go well with love are charm and seduction.
>>95067040>domains of separate goddesses.The Norse were the same with Frigg and Freyja.
>>94994522Based and underrated
>>95067101Honestly I love the idea a god can symbolize diferent aspects. Few fictional settings do it, and even fewer do it with all of their Gods.

>>95068611>>95068523this is your reminder that they updated the model for the Sexcelsior THREE times now.yes, even STO recognises the superiority and majesty of the Sexcelsior as Best Girl so much so that they overhauled her model multiple times to keep her looking the best they can.

>>95045734>>95049768Yes, but for example a folkloric goblin is just a kind of fairy, orc just means monster, and elves and dwarfs (and gnomes) are basically the same exact thing.

>>95068227I know and agree but there's plenty of aspects of fantasy that still bypass Tolkien and skip straight to taking from mythology, even if the rest is still Tolkien
