>>97659443I've got such a hard time with these social deduction games man. My pokerface as a traitor is terrible unless I'm winning, but when I'm one of the good guys I run a tight ship, no bullshit, so there's such a change in my demeanor.

We have overdosed on >wHoA YoU tOtalLy SuBvErTeD mY ExPeCtAtIoNs Xdddddddddddddlike 15 years ago. It's nice to have expectations met.
>>97679722Well the Nyambe setting actually was home to that “once proud warrior society” the not-bloodthirsty orcs whine about. Called the Kosan Orcs, they did actually build an empire in the jungles and it was a proper empire, with cities and buildings and all that. Kosan Orcs were even articulate and could speak in full sentences, with proper grammar. They were also racist, sexist, elitist, slavers that only valued power and would each amass vast arsenals of magical weapons and armor to make themselves stronger. Actually based on the lore, the Kosan Orcs might be responsible for the existence of Dragonborn, the Kosan Orcs would force some of their human slaves to breed with dragons in the hopes of getting slaves with sorcerous bloodlines, since in their minds, having a magic-slave is akin to having a hands-free, multipurpose smart-wand that casts itself, and thus something that an Orc warrior can use to flex on his peers.Unsurprisingly, their arrogance was their ultimate downfall, see Kosan Orcs see women as property, and they see humans as being nothing better than slaves, so human woman would be seen as something even less. So little did they think of human woman that they had no issue letting their women slaves shave them and cut their hair. So several of those women hatched a plan and the next time the Kosan leadership needed to be groomed, they slit their throats and started a rebellion that largely drove the Kosan Orcs from Nyambe. The Orcs of other fantasy settings being the degenerate descendants of those exiles.So you tell me?
Is there a system that's actually good for running an RPG campaign in an Underhive, or an off-franchise version of the same? The extant 40k RPGs don't really seem to fit.Pic entirely unrelated.
>>97676751I guess you'd need to get into specifics about what you want that campaign to be like. With technology, body-mods and evil empires galore, it seems like heroes in it would end up playing something very cyberpunk-ish (the genre, not necessarily the ttrpg).
>>97676830Something high-action with good variety in tech, since after all, occasionally something amazing falls in the garbage. Good rules for designing mooks, rules for muties, rules for robots & cyborgs. Vehicles nice but optional. Psychic powers for magic nice but optional. Willing to entertain high or lower power provided combat doesn't become a tedious slog either way. Tonally, something more focused on action & excitement than grim danger.
>>97677035Star Without Number works fine. I'd imagine Ashes does too, but I haven't played it. Stars has the d6 focus and high lethality that feels authentic to old WHF (although I gotta tell you that I haven't played a Warhammer RPG since the 90s). It's a retclone of D&D Basic w/ Traveller's skills. Has psychics, space magic, cybernetics, high tech, vehicles, low tech. I think it'd do you well.
>>97677035Unironically GURPS or a curated Rifts.
>>97676751I fail to see why Dark Heresy or Imperium Maledictum is insufficient for playing a game in the underhive

How do we move things forward in Nardo? A short-term exam? A school trip? Honestly I'd like to see the "teachers make teams and let the kids loose in the forest to fight/complete an objective" sort of thing.
>>97682089A school trip that goes awry and demands everyone to contribute in some way (not just combat, but also combat) to solve the issue would be a neat arc. Then we can get shown that it was Fox orchestrating the whole thing the entire time or something to push the kids to their limits.
>>97682089After Ninjutsu 101, I'd hopefully like to see a Genjutsu 101 and Taijutsu 101 from Fox-anon and Myorin-anon if they're willing to write those, in the mean time I have some events that would take place before the first day of class like what happens during the Welcoming Ceremony I alluded to in the Sunsets writeup and a couple other ideas for prompts in between the class stuff. After that I have a bunch more things planned once the characters have settled into the class routine but I don't want to spoil too much for right now
>>97682174Fox-anon has a class writefag in the works, but iirc it's less of a genjutsu 101 and instead a series of mini missions she'll be giving kids to do to test them

Praying Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/.

>>97679816I like the idea of Muslims being this doomed faction that refuses to accept that Mohammad was a false prophet and fight vainly against hell in his name. Maybe the upper caste of priests know it's all bullshit, acknowledge Christ's divinity, but can't say shit because if they do the entire front will collapse. Or maybe they're rife with demonic corruption and they find it all very funny. Either way the Trench Crusade guys would get Charlie Hebdo'd, so I understand why they didn't do it, but it's just another reason why it should have stayed a 4chan meme game and not a GW wannabee.

I got a few more i can post here if you'd like
>>97677200Drake, Wyvern, Serpent, Longgui, and Tarrasque have charts. Drake, Wyvern, and Serpent are in Gen 3, 1, and 5 expansion charts (should be in the op), Longgui was rarely posted but has a chart (it was too big to post the whole thing, I need to shrink it down), and Tarrasque is in Gen 4's expansion (should also be in the op). I think Linnolm was part of that weird Paint gen where the guy literally chopped up random princess images and made collage-like fusions with them, but I don't have the chart handy. I have no idea where Fae Dragon came from though. I'm fairly certain Blank's Leviathan and Ao Guang had charts too, but I don't have his chart(s?) handy either to verify.
>>97677906Thats nice. Yeah his dragons are dragons x things.
>>97678408Ok. With fan dragons i meant stuff that was never created or posted on /tg/.
>>97679748I like the Balloon one, that fits to the new circus fair princesses.
Your love-hate relationship with this hobby and adjacent hobbies to the tabletop role-playing and war games.I love the stories, the tales, the world building, especially of the ad hoc, halcyon days of a hobby that I missed out on. But I also feel that I'm coming in at the tail end of the party where it feels like the song 'closing time' is playing. Also on top of that I kind of live in the middle of a table top hobby desert. Not to mention finding a game online that doesn't dry up in five sessions or less, it's pointless unless you have a already long-standing group of lads you can trust. Truly The catch 22 of the tabletop hobby. You need a group to have games, but need to find and make a group that have games. And even then the group can dissolve for any reason whatsoever. Leaving you at square One over and over again.
>>97643173I *would* complain about other tabletop fans but it stands to reason that if you post here, you might be a bit odd. I'm just not much of a joiner...Anyway, if you said pick one of these two:>playing ACKS II with people who have roleplayed for 30 plus years each and who can immediately grasp any matrix of rules>playing Heroquest with friends and family, talking shit and making cups of teaI'm going for the latter every time. The crunchy obscure stuff is just for me to play solo, the other people who like that stuff act like someone literally stole their dick. They deconstruct and argue about everything like sexless bearded Pharisees.

>>97679865>The rare Hasidic pajeet posts againHave you tried not being a third world agent of chaos?
you would think is the opposite, but videogames have far more variety in terms of worlds and mechanics than ttrpgs who are just a rehashing of dnd slop both in mechanics and generic worlds. why is this?
>>97674358Not only are TTRPGs easier to make, but they are magnitudes cheaper and faster to go from idea to designing, to production, compared to vidya, and especially full 3D RPG vidya. The issue is that TTRPGs take just enough time, effort, and money to make people second guess investing in them if they don't feel like sales are guaranteed. That's a lot of art to commision, a few hundred pages that need layout, and the whole proofing and playtesting process to go with it.This is why so many "artpunk" games blew up in the last few years. Books that can be sold on vibes and premise alone can make lots of money, but trying to sell people on mechanics is almost impossible when even the people who will buy a game may never play it, and people who might buy it are more likely to pass if the system isn't something familiar.
>>97672227>WorldsPeople are all in a fucking grift now and won't release anything unless they think it can sell. If you go back even 10 years things were happening in free RPGs. Darkshire can show you what used to be possible when this was a hobby, not an "industry.">mechanicsHigh elegance requirements. Look at how complex a game like D&D can be, per turn. Now look at something like KotOR 1 or 2. Five attacks per turn with 1-4 conditional rolls per attack is fine if a computer automates it all. If you have to manually do everything then the mechanical space shrinks dramatically.
>>97672227You seem to have very little experience with TTRPGs
>>97677882I would complain about a ttrpg being kind of common in terms of mechanics if at least the settings were most imaginative. But as it is right now any run of the mill RPG in video game format is more varied in both fields than most RPGs. It's a bit surreal.
>>97672227Vidya is a visual medium and its far easier just show you their cool larger than life fantasy locations, than to invoke the same feeling with mere words

I'm relatively new to the Heresy, I played some 2nd ed and haven't read the books past Descent of Angels. But I've been told that some of the Primarchs like Perturabo and Ferrus Manus have absolutely no character to them at all. Is this true? Are there are Primarchs that don't get properly developed? I think the concept of Primarchs is really cool.
>>97682451Ferrus Manus gets hyped up a lot later in the books after his death to make losing him feel more impactful even though in every scene he's in he acts like an angry manchild. Similar reason to why Sanguinius is just the best at everything, he dies at the end so if he was just mediocre it wouldn't mean as much.
