Did Apocalypse World invent the playbook?/tg/ seems to have a low opinion of them, is there a game you think does them best? Or least bad? Conversely, is there a "worst playbooks I ever saw" game?
>>98842394It did, if by playbook we are using the idea of a sheet that has everything the character will have to his name, right before starting the game.It's not a small part of PBTAs success, mind you.>>98845541>VTM being indieReally now?
>>98846656both PbtA and VtM authors strike me as actual sex-havers so i'll just sit here and seethe, thank you very much.
>>98846783> Your players don't buy the premise.Duh. The game is so specific in tone, genre, premise, characters, and approach to role-playing that the ideal group isn't necessarily one that ticks every box, but one that enjoys exploring TTRPG concepts. The game isn't tailored to a specific audience or demand. If a group can organically buy into its premise fully, its members are probably real-life mavens. Realistically, people opt in because one feature interests them, and that feature is the Theorize move.> So, not a generic car. What about an old but well-maintained Corvette she can still drive like she's 20?There's an actual feat in the book that gives you a car with unlimited advantages. It seems you haven't fully understood my point. RAW, a player can have binoculars in her Cozy Place because you agreed during Session Zero that they fit her nosy maven personality. But they can only grant an advantage once; afterward, they're just binoculars.Fine, let's say an item related to a maven's hobby becomes important later. But when we filter items by vibes, it's harder to figure out how they help with an investigation than it is with a regular tool.And here's the elephant in the room: if a maven can act like a real person, she can simply buy tools suited to investigations. She can have a car, 'cause it's America. What limits this beyond a gentlemen's agreement about the number and types of items she can have?What's the difference, apart from a couple of advantages? Not much. The rules have one dedicated paragraph on inventory, and that's it. Everything else is left to interpretation and RAI.> The book is clear about this.I don't get it. I have a physical copy. Please quote the relevant passage. Where is this clarified in the Moves section?
>>98846641Eh, you kind of describing how it should work in an ideal scenario. I mean, when you engaged so much, it is cool, you are a good player I guess. But it’s not a merit of the rule, but rather of your willingness to engage with it. This way even D&D 5e combat would be nice.
>>98846825I don't think he's saying vtm was indie, I think he's saying that the indie scene was reacting against vtm
Not "do you like it"."Have you seen this used"?
>>98844138No, sorry. Clothes and colors have nothing to do with whether you're male or female.
>>98845510That's actually correct. But we still use them as cultural indicators for things that we associate them with. That's what the social aspect of "gender" is, which is a distinct thing from how we recognize people by their sex. Understanding that is why gendered terms (man, masculine, woman, feminine) are being separated from sex (male, female). This is very easy to understand, and shouldn't be considered controversial at all. The part that tilts people is when you tell them that some people want their gender identity to be different than the one normally associated with their sex.
>>98845616No. Clothes aren't gender. There is no social aspect, and you don't choose your identity.
>>98845616>gendered terms (man, masculine, woman, feminine)NTA, "Man" and "Woman" are not gendered, they are sex-based terms. That's the core problem behind pretty much everyone's beef with your particular corner of the alphabet soup spectrum. No matter your feelings on the matter, there is still an immutable reality at play, and the only practical effect of moving from "feminine-performing homosexual" to "trans woman" is to attempt to force the world to deny it for the sake of letting you live a LARP. Most of the time, it's mostly harmless and just makes you look like a fool. And then you start demanding the right to walk around naked in women's locker rooms, because your right to LARP is more important than the ancient right of women to not be intruded upon by strange men while naked.

>>98767393>they haven’t yet done the important thing you needed them to doDefine "need them to do". I need my players to play the game, if their character dies they roll a new one and chances are the new character continues where the last one left off.
>"Yep, human male fighter is pe-ACK!!!??!!?!"
the only people who roleplay as a "Male Human Fighter Chad" on 4chan are people who like the idea of playing tabletop more than actually playing it
The only edition I would play a fighter is 4e. Anyone saying otherwise is viable is a retard like most of the posters on this board.

>>98843329We're going in circles! First we need to focus on the situation at hand. I have a good idea where we can learn where this ThoromBite stuff is manufactured, even illegal supply chains have records. But the building that should have them is going to have cameras and thanks to the hospital's cameras and Venetian social media, the Giovanni know my face, at least the internet using ones. Meaning if I'm spotted; they'll know they're being watched and do anything from destroy the records to going after my mom to killing the captured dotonbori TBs. Possibly the same for any hanshin Nosferatu we (you) send in. So, how do we get in unseen?
>>98843754im not going in circles i need to consider the big picturea big picture that involves government agencies dragging you and your mom irregardless of how we handle thisbut if you insist on going after this first? i know a gangrel whose spiritually one of my clan i can get to you by midnight. expert at severing buildings from a powerline and a nose for security infrastructure. goes by dudeoji. doesn't speak at all but follows orders.my advice for a plan? go under, let dudeoji rip out the cameras and any local security nodes, and however unpleasant it is let him get you in. alternatively let dudeoji cause a ruckus after wiiping out undersystems and go in through another route.
>>98845067Perfect. Hopefully the paper trail is just Paper, but I should be able to handle it if we need to power up a computer. Thank you Mr. Rump. I swear if this works I will be in your debt.
Considering the ongoing zombie crisis and Prince La Fou's loosened restrictions on Embraces, there is a surplus of fledglings, and the Balteks have successfully roped me into establishing what looks more and more like a school for fledglings.That was clever, I'll admit it, but it wasn't clever enough to have me take responsibility as if these all pupils were my own childer under the Fourth Tradition, as if I wouldn't find out.I am not having any of that nonsense.I am willing to pass some wisdom to the next generations, but with or without my lessons, the fledglings will accompany their registered, real Sires in their respective Sabbat Packs, and learn the more practical aspects of hunting and fighting from them.I will not be anyone's surrogate mother, especially not when the Sire is right here and the rest of the Pack are the next in line.>>98843490Did you experience an intense rage, lately? Clan Gangrel tend to acquire animal anatomical features when they frenzy.
>>98846638>Did you experience an intense rage, lately?nope, not really. Kak said I should see if someone called 'Shark' is alive but I have no context for that to go off of so can anybody give me a quick rundown on who 'Shark' is and why Kak would send me to talk to him?
What is the best way to implement a mass combat system in 5e (2014)? The campaign is already in progress so I can't use another system outright unless it is acting as a supplement. It's for a couple battles where units will be necessary. I also want some nuance that helps add some strategy like magic and flying units which would obviously affect combat.
>>98817972>Warhammer fantasy, just do it like battletech, run non combat and small fights as an rpg. Then swap to a full wargame for mass combat.
>>98828755>Gameplan
>>98817972How massive we talking, here?Because if we're talking 100~ish soldiers, I got rules for that without resorting to abstraction (much). If thousands of soldiers then I got nothing. I prefer the abstractless style of Warhammer where every soldier exists instead of being a nebulous blob.
>>98839378While it is a 1,000s sort of deal, I am now curious what your 100ish soldiers rule is.

>>98826372I've heard of Mini Six, but I've never played it. Not sure if it is good as GURPs or Genesys or BRP core/classic.
>>98836555I probably need to create a separate thread, but how BoL system handles situations with multiple bonuses to a single attribute or somethink like that? Is 2d6 really enough?

StellarCalvary65 TonsBV: 2,062Quirks: Easy to maintainCost: 6,960,910Armor: 11 tons Ferro-FibrousThe Stellar is a 65-ton BattleMech developed by Clan Nova Cat in the years following the Jihad to help fill the lack of good options for commanders needing heavy calvary 'Mechs in second line garrisons. The Draconis Combine had less involvement than other designs such as the Morrigan, but provided the fusion engines needed to build the 'Mechs. In exchange Clan Nova Cat provided the Combine with a number of Stellar designs.Powered by a 325 rated Standard fusion engine matches other heavy calvary 'Mechs like the Timberwolf, but at a fraction of the cost. This does come at the cost of a more limited loadout. Its primary weapon is a pair of Large Pulse Lasers providing it with highly accurate firepower at range. Backing this up is an ATM9 with both Standard ammo to support its Pulse Lasers, as well as HE ammo to dissuade lighter mechs and provide punch when the distance is closed. Lastly a Small Pulse laser is mounted on the wrist of the left arm to give it an ammo free option for anti-infantry work.The lack of an XL engine or jump jets is a point of contention with commanders but they also praise its simplicity and effectiveness for what it is. Mechtechs on both the Clan and Inner Sphere side also appreciate its almost spartan internal design, letting them repair it far easier than other more complex designs. Spare parts are easy to find as well as it lacks any highly advanced technology or costly XL engines.
With their combined STR and CHA, paladins are simply the most Chad class.

>>988449684e dominated the market as well. What 5e actually was a low production cost product with limit releases done by a skeleton crew. It was pretty much just low cost maintenance of the IP control rather than improving sales until various external factors caused D&D sales to surge. Pretty much any edition was going to sell when stuff like Stranger Things and Critical Role make it look cool.
>>98846016This. In 2013, in some of the worst conditions D&D has ever had, while 4E was de facto dead and hadn't had a meaningful book printed for it for a year, had no PDF sales for over 3 years by that point, had dealt with Essentials wrecking house internally, had almost no video game and franchising revenue because of Atari screwing WotC over for half of 4E's life, and while the 5E playtest was in full swing? D&D as a brand was pulling in 15.5 million a year per leaked charts from Wizards.Paizo, in spherical 100% optimal conditions for themselves at the time, assuming the exact YoY growth (36.1%) they'd had since 2009 instead of the likely slowdown they had because of 5E, would have pulled in 15.24 million - Paizo had two publically reported revenue numbers, 4.4 million for 2009, and 11.2 million for 2012.An all but dead D&D had more raw revenue than a live Paizo at its peak.
>>98846404Peak for PF1 era Paizo for clarification. Peak PF2 Paizo, just before the shitshow with Diamond, is estimated at anywhere from 19.2m to somewhere in low-mid 30m. So maybe still worse off if you adjust 2013 money for 2023 inflation, but most likely did better.
>>98846404The best analogy I have for the 4e D&D is that it was a goose laying golden eggs and the Hasbro execs wanted it laying platinum eggs.

"blobber" is a game where you may have 4 characters but they're all generated by the player and have no backstory/personality, and just act as a blob. the classic "blobber" is wizardry, which of course is vidya. i have no idea why they used offputting ai to somehow represent this. polite sage
