I remember having a book with random tables for solo RPGs that relied mostly on a d30. It had tabes even for shit like wind direction and there was a compass inside where you rolled on to see which direction you got lost towards.Anyone know what am talking about? I know it's not much but I know it had toolbox or toolkit or something like that in the name, but sadly looking for that online nowadays is impossible with all the similar results you can get.

>>98635870Resistance against Heat is always good and Blackbeard is uniquely well suited to cluster enemies together for Annihilator. Not to mention Torch is good.
>>98631558>if you can contrive a scenario where the players start outside their mechs and have to mount up before The Horrors can get to themSo far im thinking of having a ship/station with different rooms that can accomodate or not a mech, for example the hangar bay and engineering as a whole would be pretty mech accessible, probably have some civilian mechs to commandeer in case the players get busted with their pants down. But in general im gonna go the dead space "holy shit you have to go there to fix this" route to contrive them going in and out. like having most of the station depressurized, and them having to delve into the not so mech sized upper decks to reboot the atmospheric systems. and of course as you said, plenty of occasions like that control room scenario.found a pretty good map set with deck plans and all for free to run it, i may even buy the abandoned version when/if i finish writing the mission. I kind of have an idea already based on last threads discussion about ssc and it sort of fits with the overall main "secret danger" of my campaign

>>98636408It's a lesson you have to learn yourself. Specially in the world of today where everything comes out for sale half-finished.

I don't feel guilty about not supporting something I like, simply because I am also part of the success story by being the guy who gets the item when it's finally comes out, if it doesn't come out I lost no money.

Me and my friend have been working for quite a while making a set of conversion rules to allow players acquainted with Bolt Action and Konflikt47 to play with their 40k models and units.We made this because, to us, Warhammer40k has never really fit the way we like to play, it lacks customization and strategic depth in our opinion, so, we decided to take it upon ourselves to make something fun.Initially this was meant to be a personal think only used by us both, but we thought people could enjoy the system and maybe would want to try it out, so here I am to share it with you.As of now, only the Orks as a faction are fully finished but still require some testing. Imperial guard will be next and should be finished soon.The main rules:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-nnjfKa1OKJsiihKl912rdUvbsFZLT4L0XgzBTleZ2M/edit?usp=sharingThe Ork Faction Codex:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wni1fIqWnwtGY6EN87CxygFEHVYAC3_cbIMBuwOVWCs/edit?usp=sharing
Bump, pull your finger out OP
Yo, quick update here.Looking at the comments it might actually be a good idea to make it into its own game system.I will do some game tests with my friend to balance some things out before I start that process.Also, do note that this is a half-time passion project and that me and my friend also have other unrelated personal projects outside of this one and a day job. However, I'll try to make space for it as much as I can since we were both pretty surprised at the interest people actually showed for it lol.>>98631230>>98630623>>98633160Here are some (You)s for the good feedback as well, most if not all writing issues should be fixed and it should start looking more and more like it's own game system little by little as we work on it!Thank you all for your interest btw, means a lot.
>>98634219Looking forward to the full fat game anon
>>98624679Which factions are you planning on adding? And can I humbly request that you never ever add marines/custodes pretty please.
>>98636404>>98624747Here you go.As for when we add space marines, do not worry. Me and my friend have a personal philosophy that space marines showing up in the dozens in every game makes no sense, so once they ARE added you can expect to only see 2-5 models of them per full game.>>98636219Thank you. The more I've thought about it the more the idea excited me.

>>98634733take it with a grain of salt, its just this autists opinion. but to go into more detailYour flags feel good because you can see them on the battle field. Mercia and Galia are both great examples. These flags are easily identifiable from a good distance (whether thats on the battle field on just hanging in the city shops). Ospreys feels overly complicated, maybe its the dotted background or the font choice. as a stamp its not as bad for sure, but I'm imaging it on their shipping boats, and it feels a mess to read at a distance. I have a similar problem with Valka, but those flags around the text are striking and nice so it gets a pass. The text needed I assume for each dynasty telling the others how much more noble they are (i assume) Morend is my favorite though. Great simple visual flag. The grassy hill representing the country is peak. From a game play perspective, I'd definitely play the game. You'd need the right group, the heavy crunch mandates certain types of players. I'd worry about a fresh group without someone who knows the rules well to smooth things along.The little quotes are delightful. The book entwining rules and lore make it a good book in my.. books. The sten scientist was right and shouldn't have been hung.

Did you find any useful or neat tools?An alternative to Delta Green that doesn't require me to change my DM style to run.Cards are underused, finding systems that use them in the first place is a challenge, let alone good ones.The forbidden silicon 8ball makes a good search engine for niche RPG systems. It being incompetent at understanding abstract systems is an ok way to workshop things without boring your normie entourage to death
>>98636086Corpo require serving for a bit before passing out the good stuff; then give the players options / chances to squirrel away some of it before the corpo repos their gear at the end of the contract. or they can just keep licking the boot to keep their sticks.They can mix and match this way while corpo loyalty lmao gets rewarded too.
>>98636172From that perspective i can see why Osprey Mail's flag is ugly, I agree. Valka flags being similar is on purpose, they need the purple to show their legitimacy (the colour of the royal flag of Serad). Also yes, the text is basically their motto in Latin, which is supposed to show a bit of their personality as well as the way they believe they will revive the fallen Serad empire. I am so happy you got the Morend flag's concept!I tried to make the game front-heavy, with most of the crunch taking place during the character creation, but the actual gameplay being relatively simple. I also included rules for actual melee and ranged combat just in case someone wanted to play more physical character so i wanted to give them options. What i imagine actually happening is the players abusing their powers to the maximum (that's the whole point). You can easily make a glass cannon artillery mage that deals ridiculous amounts of damage and make face to face combat meaningless (i made one as a premade character that can burn boss-level monsters to ash). This is absolutely fine, but you can also get easily assassinated by a squad of elite soldiers. You can teleport or go invisible, rendering most defenses meaningless.However yes, someone experienced or at least who has read the book thoroughly needs to be there, as the game can't really start without the character creation (the most complex part of the game).Also the Sten scientist was probably right, however he made the mistake of working for Stenland, the one and only officially Karlenic nation that considers all mystics, mutants, demons, monsters, valka to be equally evil and demonic.

>>98624139I really want to like ORE and I've looked at it from afar for years now, I recently tried to run a test combat of Monsters and Other Childish Things, and I just don't understand, the GM, how you are supposed to keep any kind of momentum going when it's like "okay, now I have to declare for all the NPCs I have in this fight, now I have to roll all the different pools for all those different NPCs and figure out matches."Fuck. That. Its an interesting idea and might work as like a skirmish combat game where ever player only control a single unit, but running a combat with anything close to parity with the player characters seems like, at best, a massive fucking headache.
>>98621219some characters have such a notable and unique set of powers, that its obvious when you copy themsupermans flying brick powers are non-dsecsript enough on their own that just having them doesnt immediately peg you as a superman cloneand thats before roughly 60 years of marvel making discount supermen for their own cast to fight further genericizing the flying brick packagebut danny phantom has a rather unique combination of intangibility, flight, possession, combined with a rarely used 90s ghost movie aesthethic that makes any attempt to copy it more obvious
>>98624139>>98625347I've only ever run it using a VTT, which certainly sped things up. Even then the one-roll shtick didn't really make things noticeably faster than other similar games. It is pretty good for making out-there powers though

Happy 810nicle Day, everyone! Been too long since we had one of these, so I decided to fix that! This is a thread for the discussion of Bionicle tabletop games, both in terms of the setting and the mechanics of it all. There are three links below, in order, Masks of Destiny, the Red Star Games site with multiple systems, including a war game one (among other things), and an in-development system called Kanohi & Cryoshell. If you’re familiar, what are the pros and cons of each one?https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kHy5h1wMyjFXOmV656zLruSphkAYpBPK?usp=share_linkhttps://www.redstargames.org/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nH2YLRWp4FHFwVcVo-lly6D0jm5c3-898rfTBDCzCgc/Thread Questions: >What was your favorite arc of Bionicle and why? And do you prefer G1 or G2, and again why? I’m a fan of the classic original Toa designs so it’s the original setting’s Mata Nui arc for me.>If you heard that they were making a Generation 3 of Bionicle, what would be your hopes for it? I’d like to see if the Generations exist in the same multiversal framework as each other, just imagine the crossover potential!
>>98624442>If one wishes to get into Bionicle, where does one start?Play the Mata Nui Online Game.https://biomediaproject.com/bmp/play/web-games/mnog/This sets the tone for the series.If you like that, read the DC comics and watch Mask of Light. If you find yourself wanting more Matoran adventures specifically, there is the less well regarded MNOG2, and some GBA games.
>>98497487>>98498183>>98498223Recently I have found out that Homestuck is still very much active and theorizing about classpects is still very much flourishing. Are there TTV threads dedicated to the analysis of the elements and powers of the Matoran Universe? I will attempt one right now.>>98603490Let's add to this.>fire/iceOpposites. Fire and ice elements are used for manufacturing, repairs, and heating and cooling devices.>stone/earthDensity of solid materials: hard and soft solids, respectively. Stone may represent hard surface areas where everything happens while Earth represents deep or hidden infrastructure such as tunnels, underground power lines, and repositories.>air/waterDensity of fluids? Different chemical reactions require different phases of matter. Transport can be slow and heavy via water ways or quick if light via air travel, and undersea currents, cables, and submarines also likely fall under the purview of the former. In addition to trade of wares, both goods and bads, reconnaissance is greatly done flying.
>>98624442Thanks, I wasn’t familiar with this site!
>>98631273No problem. I looked through the site a little and found comics as well. It says it also contains videos. I'll play the games and follow the order as >>98624645says, but I now think cross-wired geeks might be more complete than I thought initially.
>>98494296How would you define Bionicle music?
Western dragons and Eastern dragons are cool. Are there any more mythological lizard things that are sufficiently dragon-y that you can say they're just regional dragons? Are giant sea snakes also just water dragons?
>>98635186Deer. Ask /k/.
>>98635186Foxes being the most common that it spawned a whole genre.
>>98635255To be fair, everyone knows fucks fuck young men.
>>98634553> supposedly medieval art showed snakes breathing fire as a visual metaphor for venom feeling like fire> we got fire-breathing dragons because someone took that literally
Western dragons typically are animals or demon analogues, eastern are basically nature spirits/demigods.
