wait why do OSR (or just fantasy fans) hate the idea of no evil races?like don't u want other options than human and human but dif body shapes?anyways whats wrong with not having evil races? at least you dont have to fight a cool looking goat person this time amr?
>>98412791That's a good point.
>>98394315If you believe our world houses objective evil, then playing in a setting that doesn't have objective evil will sound too far fetched.
>>98417572>society is bad because it is okay?no society is perfect, which can result in large groups of people living on the fringe we know this to be true because it happens all the time in real life>somehow better thanfirst of all, it issecond of all, its just a counter-point to the statement that you need inherently evil enemies to provide conflictwhich is just untrue, because the unequal nature of society creates conflict by itself without the need to make evil creaturesor, also mentioned, creatures that are simply beastiala 30-ton carnivore doesnt need to be evil to eat people, it just needs to be hungry and humans tasty
>>98419536>first of all my opinion is more correct because no, its mine
>>98394315I work with species (e.g. Dwarf, Elf...), races (e.g. Mountain Dwarves, Wild Elves), and cultures. Some cultures cover the vast majority of their race and are evil (as in willing to use force unethically, e.g. Drow, Duergar).But entire populations of non-alien, non-abberant, non-undead, non-handcrafted by an evil god, humanoids shouldn't be ALL evil.

>>98419581>it works for your magic gatherer game, do it again for the dragon dungeon thingt. Some Hasbro suit
calm people.. some player can know about vampire with it. And ghostfire gaming have good designers
>>98419581>Why.It's easier to convert established setting to a system people already know than to get people to learn new dedicated system just for that setting. Especially when that dedicates system has several mutually incompatible versions.And looking at the bigger picture this might be testing water for potentially selling World of Darkness to WotC.Paradox has been holding rights to WoD for a while and repeatedly failed to make it profitable. Vampire 5e didn't really pull over people from older edition. Bloodlines 2 was perhaps less of disaster than initially expected but still far from profitable. Then there's several card games, a board game, some VNs, and assorted other vidya. Not to mention Werewolf and Hunter lines that are also part of WoD package. None of it big enough success to justify hold onto the property, so they're running out of ideas and looking for ways to offload it on somebody else.

>>98419581Because V5 turned out to be a flop, or unable to make up for the money pissed away on Bloodlines 2.There's only really one place where lots of people will actually buy shit: D&D.

>>98420273fuck. i hate apps and ipads, i like having books.
What is the craziest RPG system you could pair with using the Monster Girl Encyclopedia series as a setting?The monster girls being able to disguise themselves as humans to go to other worlds to find people has got to put Delta Green and Call of Cthulu in the running for some of the top spots.
>>98416432Sure that's nice and all, but then what the fuck are they doing trying to evangelize their shit here if they know the exact reaction they're going to get? Especially if they get so mad even when people DO try to play ball with them and workshop a playable version of the setting? What the fuck are MGEfags trying to get out of these threads if they're going to just get assmad at legitimate attempts to build a TRPG out of the foundation of MGE?
>>98416578on top of that, Geralt is super horny so you can just throw in the legally distinct "Beralt of Trivia, Warlocker, the Dark Dog, The Grocer of Glakiven" character with all the same traits and you're ready for a morally complex lewd game where it's always "lesser evil this, People are monsters that" in the same breath as a fiendgirl having a nonconsensual night out on the entire town
>>98414544I mean the easiest way to do things is simply to make the girls non-monogamous. The whole "They're only attracted to their true love" thing is what makes it a fantasy, if they simply fuck and kill men, that's something else entirely.
>>98419709At that point you're just making your own setting because that fundamentally breaks the lore of MGE in several different ways.Another reason why I don't really think MGE should be the gold standard of monstergirl setting design, even though it was one of the earliest, most popular, and has some of the best visual designs and art.It's simply too fundamentally tied to its roots as an purely escapist fantasy.To reiterate, as much as I like MGE, I think it's a really bad setting for RPGs and a really fun and goofy setting for erotica.
>>98420328I don't even think it's visually the best tbqh. Too many feel like copypastes of the same body shape with different animal bits tacked on.

>>98416832arigatou, anon-kunI'll take a look as soon I'm able
>>98410334>>98410334cont.I'm trying to work out one to make up setting details on the fly (once per session, and roll 1d6: on a 4 or 5 it is true; on a 6 you can use it again this session) something like a LORE skill as if your character was a sage or a well traveled bard, but I don't know if its too demanding for me later as a GM. I dont fear edgelords saying "This town is famous for his rape parties", my players are relativelly normal. But I don't know if it will force me to come up with plots too convoluted for my mental bandwidth on the long run
Inversion Beta 4 layout work continues. 75% of the way through chapter 3. Things are progressing slower than I had hoped, but there's a mountain of balance number adjustments to do to equipment after making treasure player facing, and swapping turning Dodge into a spendable dice pool.Hoping I can post something substantial in next months thread before it closes. Here's an early look at a sketch for social skills art as a preview.
>>98419956keep at it anon, I've been eyballing the 3.1 for months
Fucking FINALLY figured out how to give all my approaches actions associated with them. the secret was assigning each action to two approaches rather than one>Move: Force or Skill>Discern: Skill or Charm>Hamper: Force or Charm
Lets talk space colonies, what do you think of them and sci-fi that have them? If you use them what type are they? O'Neill Cylinders? Ringworlds? Are they located on lagrangian points or somewhere else?I wonder how you can do something interesting with them or build conflict around them in a story without rehashing Gundam beat for beat.
The problem is always materials, handwaveium
>>98420016the greater bottleneck is getting them into space and then assembling itit would be just within the realm of possibility for steel and aluminum to make a multi-kilometer structurebut we have no real way to move them into a lagrange point with our current rocket technology and would run out of rocket fuel trying to do with current chemical-powered enginesand we have no knowledge of zero-G construction techniques and would have to develop it from scratch
>>98420016Materials, reliable orbital exit and re-entry (space elevator) to make deep space construction even remotely feasible outside of small scale modules like the ISS, radiation shielding, FTL (unless you plan to build it in Earth orbit like a bozo), resource mining tech (presumably from asteroids) and deep space manufacturing tech (good luck running a factory in space that can produce your miracle materials in abundance enough to construct and repair your space habitat), etc. etc. Materials honestly are the least important part of the problem.
>>98420043>radiation shieldinga depth of material is enough to keep radiation resistance to tolerable levelsmost hypothetical designs would have the soil and water on the "ground" of the space colony to act as radiation shieldingwe dont have a good idea of how thick it should be, but several meters of soil, water, and the hull of the colony itself should be able to absorb most space radiation by itself before dedicated shieldingits probably on the "feasible" end of the engineering problems all things considered
Realismfag is a mistaken title because they're more genetically similar to pyramid conspiracy theorists than anything else. Their entire function is to sit around whining whenever someone thinks humans could ever do anything because actually, anything cool is impossible and we'll never make it unless magic does it for us. These niggas were sitting around telling people the phone was going nowhere and radiowaves are useless and people will die from the speed if they travel on a train.

Magic power-armors in fantasy settingsYay or Nay ?
>>98419586Yeah, Sigmarines have a bit of conceptual identity problems on the whole, if I can rant for a moment.So WHFB obviously came first and it was a fantasy of knights, dragons, etc. obviously.With the rising popularity of Sci-Fi and a desire to capture new markets 40K is made, and, conceptually speaking, is fantasy in space.The space marines in fantasy are, quite literally, Science Fiction knights in no uncertain terms.40K eventually outpaces FB in popularity in part due to Space Marine appeal and posterboy status, so some cynical suit proposes "why don't we have space marines in fantasy?"The problem with that is Space Marines already exist in fantasy, they're just called knights. Hell, the entire concept of the Imperium is basically just the better parts of The Empire and Bretonnia smashed together.And that's where sigmarines exist, they're the Waluigi of Warhammer they exist only in reference to other things.They could, theoretically, invoke that more epic hero feel, which aesthetically they do, but the problem with that is that they're an entire army, so their inherent "heroism" is spread throughout rather than being focused.Essentially a handful of Sigmarines may have been actually very cool as a unit type, but as an army their only sense of identity that they could really call their own is kind of lacking.Sorry for derailing I just find them interesting in that regard.
>>98419386What?That's just a pointy-eared Abhuman!
>>98419386I mean, in her own setting Freiren is an ally of humanity that seeks to promote a human age of magical proliferation and dominance and is basically the top demon killer in the world. Translated into 40K terms, Frieren would be an unusually helpful Eldar who unironically thinks that the time of the Eldar is over, never to return, and the only hope for the galaxy is for humanity to complete its own psychic awakening and destroy Chaos. She'd be teaching human psykers to be anti demon weapons and occasionally helping kill powerful demons. I guess if she was going to end up anywhere, a secret weapon of some part of the Inquisition makes about as much sense as anything else. It feels thematically appropriate that she would have known the Emperor personally. Fits with her "walking with dinosaurs" vibe to predate the Imperium.
>>98419752>>98419758>Inquisitor finds an extremely based Eldar and recruits her into his retinue>falsifies documents to label her as a human with a few minor mutations>Inquisitor dies on a mission, leaving nobody left alive who knows the Eldar girl isn't just a human variant from some fringe world>she gets assigned to a new Inquisitorial retinue and is just "that really competent acolyte with weird ears"And that's how you eventually end up with an Eldar Inquisitor a century later.

How do you justify the existence of beastfolk/furry races in your settings ?
>>98412538I don't. Beast-furry races just attract furries, who are always bad players and bad people. Every setting is better off without them.
>>98419545Always has and always be a dumb reasoning. At that point you are bending over backwards potentially excluding cool things or things you even like just because some people can't control themselves. Might as well ban female characters/npcs, elves, demons, robots, dragons, all sorts of stuff just because people are out there that MIGHT like them too much.
Mutants that came about because a wizards guild specifically specialized in transformation spells and potions, but would dump the reject potions in the rivers to avoid costly clean ups and an angry local royalty. Goes down stream, local village water supply and wildlife eventually start showing mutations.
>>98412538One of the gods is basically Zeus but he only fucks animals and all of his children became their own races which can breed with humans but only produce more of their own kind. Weirdly, they can't breed with other animal types, only their own and humans. Each progenitor animal was a rare member of its species, like the equivalent of the Nemean lion or the Cretan bull.

How are Half-Giants even made without the non giant partner dying? Like, I guess if the giant is a woman ig it makes sense she could just lay down and take it but with a MALE giant x human woman…?
>>98384624Penis size in mammals correlates to social competition (vs. violence) for mating rights. If your species does things like dance or games for mating rights, the males will have bigger dicks than a species that fights for same.

>>98411347it might have made sense twenty years ago when you could buy a tin of woodstain for £2/£3 from Wilko.

No, you can use your powers as often as you wantand it's balanced.
>>98415612If you don't understand that rules incentivize you have no business talking about rules or games, at all.
>>98413762By making them mechanically work like 1e>d4 HD>spells are limited to what you chose to prepare for the day>declarations at the start of a round of combat and forgetting spells on interruption>cannot stop and long rest after every combat to re-memorize spells>adding new spells to your book is learned through adventuring and finding books or scrolls to copy, not given to you by leveling up>chance of failure when copying books / scrolls>cannot just walk into any run of the mill village and buy magical items and scrolls>no cantrips, ESPECIALLY not combat or light cantrips>reintroduce the risks of spells like the volumetric fireball, lightning arcing backwards or unnatural agingsuddenly the magic user is back in his niche and martials roles are reinforced, just like it used to
Not even close.
