Unironically what the fuck is the appeal of reading this drivel? Do you have to be brain damaged to be a 40kid or a genre fiction babby in general?
The Horus Heresy series alone has 25,000 pages. For all the time you spend reading 25,000 pages you could read all the great works of the western canon and more.
>b-but the classics aren't exciting
They are. Ivanhoe, the Three Musketeers, Treasure Island, Orlando Furioso, the Faerie Queene, Robinson Crusoe, etc are all exciting, action packed works of literature that will stimulate you intellectually in a way no warhammer novel ever can.
>but i like reading fantasy/sci fi

because they're IP-enslaved 40kfags, anon. You know the answer to this question. 40k isn't just a hobby or game (as fucking terrible as it is a wargame it is) to these people, it's a lifestyle, an identity, a brand to be identified with. You are dealing with the equivalent of pic related, but they think themselves different or superior because they're soiling themselves over space marines instead of lightsabers.

That doesn't really go against the theme of FT. There is plenty of that in the background, in a non magical way, as well as a magical equivalent if you swap nobles with guilds. It's not something people pay attention to, because the flashy fights between apocalyptic threats are very distracting, but they do happen. Hell the whole Magic Council is doing just that, keeping a delicate balange between all the guilds. Having a whole MP focused only on that would go against the theme and would essentially be a different setting, but having character arcs and some plots about it wouldn't be out of place. As someone pointed out we also aready kinda have them.

Previous Thread: >>98598164

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 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 program, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.

Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 6 - Tiny Terrors is now available.

Speaking of house rules by someone who has never played the game
why is leech a separate power instead of a modifier for innate attack?
Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to have
>Leech (+500%): When you deal injury to an enemy with this innate attack, heal 1 HP per 3 injury done to the enemy
>>
>>98938040
>>Leech (+500%): When you deal injury to an enemy with this innate attack, heal 1 HP per 3 injury done to the enemy
I've convinced myself that leech is garbage when I realized it's cheaper to link some sort of capped+reduced FP cost healing to innate attack and end up both healing more, doing more damage and the final package is cheaper and easier to use than leech.

>>98937910
There's a ton of GURPSfags who will just make characters or build worlds or design systems or create an autistic attribute system but never actually sit down and play the damned game.

>What is Lancer?
Lancer is a TTRPG about narratives, customizable mechs, and the pilots who crew them.

Set thousands of years in the future, Lancer imagines a future where humanity has spread to the stars after weathering terrible ecological collapse on Earth.

Players of Lancer adopt the roles of mech pilots. Some groups will fight for Union, working to rectify the crimes of previous administrations. Others, for a corpo-state, working to advance private interests while lining their pockets.

Lancer offers deep mech customization, a wide range of player backgrounds, and a system and setting with room for any story you and your group want to tell.

Yes, but just like modern D&D and Pathfinder, you can and SHOULD just ignore all the faggotry of the "default" setting and make your own homebrew setting.

And just like D&D and Pathfinder, ignore the faggoty fanbase as much as possible. If someone is a diehard fan of Lancer, don't play Lancer with them, same way you don't play D&D with DnDrones. In either case it's a red flag that the person is gay and retarded.

What do you need to consider when adding different kinds of dragons to your fantasy world?
>>
I want to write in districts, clans and factions onto these and I think I want to do it in a black and white with red lettering but I have these two other options that look good and was wondering if anyone had ideas about how to fit text in that won't obscure too much of the map, still be distinct and have a goth edgy vibe. Red will get lost in the light and neon green doesn't quite fit.
>>
>>98936515
I fucked up and made mine too rare. While I like the idea of them being limited in number and specific spawn of Satan it ended up limited my ability to include them in the game without having to add in later that they have over time begat more horrible offspring. Its obvious retrospectively and easy to fix but I got too hung up on making them super special and forgot it was for Dungeons & Dragons.

>Demons say whoever is strongest should decide how it works and whoever the strongest can and will change.
Agreed, and since the strongest is rarely the wisest, society based on them tend to be clusterfucks à là haiti, or feudalism emerges from warlords

>The Celestials and Devils want relatity to stay as it is and act as stewards to keep it that way.
I was thinking this way but put to the extreme :
>The devils are against necromancy and healing magic since it would go against the order of life and death, while the demons are fine with both since if that's what you want, they have no reason to oppose it.

Which is why most places are into the Gods, although some are more liked than others obviously. Not all gods are good still, they just aren't in the extreme. Plenty practice sacrifices like the greeks did

I know these super non-communicative types and I wonder what is the reason that they are engaging with TTRPG in the first place. If you are playing only for the combat or min-maxing and numbercrunching different builds, why bother to play with other people instead of just gaming with computer? For me, the only engage with TTRPG is the social aspect of it. It doesnt require you to do anything special like acting out your character, but at least you should be able to describe what your character is doing. If you dont want to even that, then why are you playing.

you think counting the number of +1s isn't a number? maybe you think dice with pips don't have numbers either because they have pips?
>>
>>98937606
>>proceeds to add a number to a word and comes up with another arbitrary word
It's fairly intuitive once you read the core rule book for Fudge. The trait ladder goes: Terrible, Bad, Mediocre, Fair, Good, Great, Legendary. You can replace this trait ladder with numbers, so you would have -3, -2, -1, 0 +1 +2, +3, +4 or even make up your own adjectives like replacing great with Marvelous and bad with Catastrophic or something, not much would change on the rules side of things.
>you think counting the number of +1s isn't a number?
You're the one making a big deal out it, you said a stat not being a number is confusing but now it turns out that they are numbers and that's somehow bad? Are you on your periods or something?
>>
>>98937674
The problem isn't that it's confusing. The problem is that you're adding a step for zero added value.
>>
>>98922288
It's not really good, either.
>>
>>98937674
>It's fairly intuitive
For someone extolling the virtue of using words you don't seem to know what "intuitive" means. The fact that you have to list the "ladder" of words, and admit you can replace them, shows it's impossible to intuit.
There is no such uncertainty with numbers. No ambiguity about which integer is between 1 and 3, or which comes after 0.
