>>96507356I need to be better at setting goals for characters. My current character has the goal of "get money by exploring dungeons", but that really isn't enough if the money just accumulates without purpose.

>>96508201Thanks, I'll get those clipped and ready for the next version!>>96509804I didn't but honestly I was more focused on getting the articles out and sorted than reading them. >>96510328That's easily doable. I merged each section in the table of contents into a single file before merging them all as one. It wouldn't take anything for me to share them as faction focused or general rule focused variants.>>96508648Man I have the worst luck finding stuff like that on Telegram.

Just as the DBM spear exception is vulnerable to missile fire, I propose a similar unit.Saxon Raider, 400 to 600, Warband Exception,They're 4 or 4 Fast vs melee, but 2 vs missile and cavalry.With their loose formations and smaller shields, but intense aggression, they can fight and beat auxiliary but can't keep pace with pisoli

Previous thread: >>96346915GURPS 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 (follow the URL to get to a folder with some files, read the files to get to the archive). 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 software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.Thread question: What is your opinion on the art in GURPS books?
>>96502026I could go for a 4th Edition version of something like the GURPS Compendium books for 3E. They could include all those useful extra rules, ritual magic, spaceships, whatever. Of course this is a pipe dream as we are doomed to forever receive more ever increasingly esoteric 30-page no-art pdf supplements to Dungeon Fantasy and Guns.
>>96504519aw
>>96507005REJECT MODERNITY, EMBRACE TRADITION (You can always just use the GURPS 3E Compendium II, it is mostly workable with 4E).
>>96462767Is there anything in particular I should know for adapting the 3e VtM book to 4e? So far it just seems like a simple case of turning HT points into HP points.
>>96509757Some of the disciplines are extremely cheap compared to buying a comparable advantage. For example, Sweet Whispers is arguably a bit better than Speak With Animals (since it gives you a reasonable chance of forcing cooperation, rather than requiring you to use normal persuasion) but costs [2] rather than [25].

what is the looniest guy you've ever played with in warhammer HHi've had two players of ligma deny the 9/11; saying it was all staged. just right after i made a comment about some bullshit conspiracy theory they talked about.we never played again; pretty sure they noticed my reaction then but were somehow polite enough to not interrupt
>>96512307I'm the looniest guy other people play.

It's supposedly going to be dropping here soon (it was supposed to drop this summer, but apparently they needed more time to cook). I went to their Twitter page, and it only has 120 followers, so I'm feeling a little nervous. Worst case scenario, I can pinch off lore that they've promised to include if they completely butcher the actual game mechanics and shoehorn things into a better system if I have to. I hope I don't. Anyone familiar with Skydawn games, or are they a "literally who" of the TTG scene?
>>96496904The Techer is one of my favorite renditions of a magic warrior/gish in games. Just beat the shit out of everyone with an elemental infused with a want that conspicuously looks like a sword or a mace and fall back on normal ranged spells whenever I needed. The Phantom using the staff as a scythe and the Etoile turning the wand into a huge laser were also really fun.
>>96498429I really hope they give us something for the scion classes. They were all fun as hell.
>>96499837It always saddened me how we didn't got Scion classes for the other weapons. I feel like a monk-like class with the fists and the jet boots was something a lot of people hoped for but it unfortunately never happened.

>>96506613Oh interesting, I thought it outright replaced the state. Cool to know, cheers>Sphinx also needs supportOkay fair…I’ll have to try and workshop a list then, since right now any list I make is just stuck as a 1 group with 10 orders which I know is pretty sketch for a TAG list. Even when I resort to nox links and spam I only end up with a group 2 that’s like 2 orders at best, which probably isn’t worth much at that rate.>>96506663>CA is strong. Shasvastii as a sectorial are notI’ve heard this a fair bit. Mate said I should just run vanilla CA but desu I really don’t like much else of the CA stuff. Shasvastii are just cool, but Morats and Umbra are kinda gay desu
>>96506699Sphinx runs best in onyx in my experience. But this has been my base for a sphinx list so far in n5, modified depending on the mission:glsKc2hhc3Zhc3RpaQCBLAIBAAkBggwBAQAChQwBBgADhQwBAwAEgf8BAQAFghQBAQAGghQBAQAHghABBAAIgggBAwAJgfUBAgACAAMBhQoBCAAChQoBBgADhRYBBQA%3DSphinx is a beast if the oponent lets it hit them, no question.Group 2 vomits out disco ballers and walks towards objectives if needed, mentor hacker is a placeholder for speculo/shrouded/jayth fto (for gwailo). Shrouded can either be downgraded to seed-soldier or made into a specialist. No one expects a shrouded multi-sniper, and i have had some success with that profile. But again, he's a placeholder first and foremost. Personaly i feel incomplete without 2 speculos and my beloved killer hacker malignos, but that might be just me. Just proxy stuff untill you find your golden base for a list.

Once upon a time, we did things.
>>965075254u
>>96507411Did what things? Generate D&D stats for Jun's drawings? To what end?
Is this from a show or something in particular?Nice work making them (assuming it was you), but I can't really evaluate them since I'm not familiar with most of the characters or the system. I don't really enjoy including direct references to other media in my games, unless it's a joke, but these seem pretty solidly grounded.5e is really really limited for these kinds of things, so all characters end up being really boring or same-y in terms of stats. Like, take Worm, for instance: >>96507448Now, I didn't really read too much of that story, but doesn't she have the ability to commune with bugs and possibly other vermin? And also is a superhero vigilante? In Pathfinder, I'd suggest she be something like a Promethean with the Hivemind Obsession option, and then take a few levels in Vigilante.
>>96510660It's not based on an existing franchise. I didn't make these pics, but discussed these characters in the threads. And saved them. Another anon made these sheets.The pics are from an artist commonly called Navigavi (or Jun). Who likes to draw girls with weapons. Needless to say, they got somewhat popular around here some time ago. They don't have a name or a backstory, so we came up with a mercenary group of all female combatants using these pics and statted them.
>>96507411Sure, those are excellent character designs and I want to fuck the big axe girl, but no one cares about some generic character sheets for 5e. 90% of the effort of making a 5e character is writing things down. At least build them in a good system where characters can actually be distinctive.
