No, I'm not him and don't really like him either. In fact, if any of you could leak Patreon or Kickstarter stuff it would make me a happy camper.
Not overly interested in this as an RPG but just from what I remember of this dude's old webcomic, if you like this kind of thing, I would check out the vidya Look Outside.
Remember, folks. The more alien, the more magical. Magic is that vital lack of familiarity. Wonder and mystery.
>>98320648Use your fucking imagination you nerd
>>98321861I can use my imagination to imagine tits at any point of the day, anywhere, it doesnt make anything i look at lewd
>>98319757You think psionics aren’t magic? Lol, lmao even
>>98319131Agreed. I would go so far as to argue that as soon as you make magic symmetric and predictable, you ruin it. Magic needs to occupy the unknown, and mages need to be people who knows how to manipulate powers they don't quite understand. Making magic into a symmetric system with predictable scaling is tempting, because the symmetry between spells simplifies its relation to the player group. But by doing so, you are doing the game a disservice.
>>98323288Oh look it’s the wonderfag again. Responding to himself as usual.
How do you justify adventurers in your fantasy settings? They are mainstay in nearly every fantays setting, just random dudes who group together and get strong enough to take on dragons, demons and gods. Often its not a one-off thing either like a hero party, but most settings seems to have adventurer economies, and people just taking up weapons to fight baddies to get stronger is common.Do you have a in-setting explanation to why this even works? If it was easy to gain power by simply fighting, that would realistically be capitalized by militaries and rulers. But everyone seems happy to just outsource saving the world to random people. Of course this is a conceit to make the game work and give players them as many character options as possible, but its often a handwaved part of the setting.So what's your favorite way of answering this?
You can't really justify "adventurers" without justifying their source of power.Because without it, you don't need justification, adventurers are weirdos (or not) doing odd jobsThe problem is their source of power, why are they so strong? Let's say your group killed a hypogriff that was terrorizing the village, that's gonna make waves, you bet the local lord will want to meet the hunters and listen to some stories, you bet some local lasses will be all over them, you bet the local kids will act like a fan-club, hell, stay too long in the village and they'll probably throw a festival for your guys.Power attracts. Do too many feats like that and sooner or later your "adventurers" will catch themselves being the rulers of a band of mercenaries, or married into nobility unintentionally.The question, is how they do it, what's their source of power? Can it be replicated? Are there others like them?The moment their source of power can be replicated the world changes drastically.
>>98319312In my setting, you can either be born with supernatural strength, or reach it through years of diligent training. One country is working on magical enhancements that can get it done faster.
>>98295415They're sellswords, or mercenaries. Next question.
>>98295415>How do you justify adventurers in your fantasy settingsThere wouldn't be a game without them so they exist.
>>98319312>The moment their source of power can be replicated the world changes drastically.I think this the tipping point between a setting having or not the concept of "Adventurer's Guild".
Anybody sad that L5R is dead as an RPG setting? How do we make Rokugan great again /tg/?What was your favorite clan back in the day? And has it changed over time?
>>98320891Problem with L5R modules is they're pretty disorganised. When I downloaded the pile of them from the archive I had to manually go through, read them, figure out what edition they were intended for and rename the files accordingly. Good news is 1st~4th editions are all fairly similar enough that you can use them interchangably but might just have to edit a couple rolls here or there. Someone who knows 5th ed really well could probably adapt 5th ed ones for 4th but itd be a lot of fucking around. At that point you could just steal the story and figure out the mechanics/rolls/statblocks on your own really.
>>98320768Matsu snu-snu
It's weird, it has been ages since I played L5R, and I don't have any likelihood of playing again in the future, but I really enjoy writing homebrew in L5R. I think it has a really nice balance of hard setting rules and facts along with plenty of space for yourdudes-san.
>>98319384City of Lies is great. Immersive local setting the PCs can really get to know. Mysteries to solve. Realpolitik(everyone tolerating the opium trade). Criminals pretending to be ninjas to cover their activities. Rank 1-2 characters don't feel totally outmatched. (L5R's core rulebooks always stressed morally tough choices about your loyalties but doing earth-shaking battles against oni etc really precludes that sort of thing and encourages everyone to optimize for combat.)>>98317690A lot of people have nostalgia for the Topaz Championship and they've made versions for at least two different editions of the game. It's a good excuse to throw multiple clans together and highlight some of the setting lore. The non-boxed 1E modules were pretty bad. Night of a Thousand Screams had way more battles than characters of that rank could handle with no rest and recovery time.
>>98317709That's Utaku to you, pervert
but what if i hate both?i dont want low gritty human only slop and i dont want high fantasy kitchen sink slopi want a grounded setting with the good of both worlds but not extreme maybe middle fantasy?
>>98317795> D&DNot my thing, thanks.> Also, D&D being "gritty", lol
>>98320366Those who actually do are honest about it. And rare. Most "Bob the fighters" I've seen came from people who just wanted a simple character and simple gameplay. And most others who play human fighters want to play the goddamn mundane badass who goes toe-to-toe with arcane and divine beings.Roleplaying someone who shares traits with you but with a different upbringing, personality and lifegoal =/= playing yourself but made special by non-matching immutable component.Like how Chaotic Good and Lawful Evil are separated equally from Lawful Good, but completely opposed.

Firearms in fantasy settings. Yay or nay? Why yes and why nay?
>>98314672>Jacques de Molay - Same as Merlin.Wait I thought Jaques got turned into a woman by Shub-Niggurath.
>>98312708Yes, only if the setting does not support trad fantasy.Trad fantasy, while being able to support post-medieval tier swords and armours, needs to stay rooted in the more traditional ways of warfare, or otherwise engineer a complicated series of asspulls and autism as to why modern weapon types fit in with swords and spears.The spears can be made with modern-tier technology even, but the methods of war and living and culture have to keep that anachronistic medieval feel.Star Wars honestly does it very well.Alternatively, you can put guns into a fantasy setting and have an alternative design for fantasy, but then having swords and spears be viable for regulars becomes weird and detracting.Why use spear when gun work? Why bother with magic sword when you have magic shot? If you're struggling against monsters even with silver shooting muskets, how did your ancestors make it? It removes the tension and the appeal if your characters don't have use of guns anyway.
>>98321520>Yes, only if the setting does not support trad fantasy.So, anything past the early 1300s isn't trad, then? I take it you're not a fan of knights in full plate, since those didn't show up until the 1400s, after firearms were being fielded in Europe.
>>98321536NTA, but that appears to be explicitly acknowledged:>>98321520>while being able to support post-medieval tier swords and armours>the methods of war and living and culture have to keep that anachronistic medieval feel.

Eyo this shit any good?
>>98319488One of my favorites (that the Keeper worked around of) was that several people in town tell you when church service is. You're not supposed to go to church. You're supposed to use that precise time window to break into your missing friend's house, discover a clue there about his abduction and leave unnoticed while everyone is still at church.
>>98319278Sanity is not broken, the attributes are supposed to be randomised therefor that doesnt matter, and the fact you are an expert in a field matters a lot in a roll under system (idk if this part of the OC rules or a homebrew on my part, but you do add a portion of your attributes to the skills right? It cant be that bad). Unfortunately its modules are indeed very railroady and the authors dont seem to understand how to write an investigative scenario.
>>98319562>idk if this part of the OC rules or a homebrew on my part, but you do add a portion of your attributes to the skills right?That's your homebrew. The only skills where the default score is tied to your attributes/characteristics are Dodge and Language (Native).
>>98316611unc chillll
>>98319562>>98319607You shouldn't be rolling for *most* shit, and, outside of combat, when you do roll it shouldn't be a linear "pass and win, fail and the game grinds to a halt" situation.
>What is this?Dentro Dice is my custom system. Originally I was just making 5e homebrew, and decided the system was just lacking certain things and I didn't want to be constrained.>Why is this?I enjoy creating classes and the challenge of designing them to feel heavily immersive while being unique from other comparable classes. I have about 80 class ideas, about 50 of which are mostly completed designs with the others being rough feelings and direction.

>>98320437yes definitely. I still need to sort out the mechanics but the key points are...>Rangers get to tame one(or more) Beast-type animals based on the ranger's stats>Rangers can focus their resource points into taming one animal with many buffs or several animals with no buffs>lower leveled beasts can get more buffs to help keep up with your level>can also teach animals skills they don't normally use>can make armor for the animal tooAnd on anotther note, if this idea has enough of a niche apart from mastermind, perhaps a class that specializes in chrono trigger style dual-techs. There is a system for hirelings already. I can see a situation in which a dual techer keeps a few different shitty hirelings just so they can benefit from their skills.
DOPPELSOLDNER>Stats per level Fai+2, 1d10health, 1d6 mana>SIGNATURE SKILLS>Double pay flare - Passive.

Thank you, OP, your thread lit a fire in me and got me working on my own system.What's your resolution system? You've mentioned a number of dice so far, but we don't know how the game is supposed to be played.
>>98322415Resolution system? The core system itself is as standard as you can get with a d20 system I think. But the core system being so standard is actually good for the complexity of the classes, I think. >dm narrates challenges, and asks players to make d20 rolls+the appropriate attribute to see if they beat the challenge number>In combat, everyone rolls for initiative to see who goes first>everyone has a movement speed, a set amount of stamina and main/bonus/reactions to dictate how much they do with what skills they haveMuch like how I treat my individual classes, I put more emphasis on minibosses and boss monsters being difficult puzzles to solve, rather than playing a game of attrition with a focus on resource management and several 'very low-threat' encounters throughout the day.
What it says on the tin, talk about superhero-themed tabletop games ITT. GURPS, Mutants and Masterminds, Champions, Wild Talents, and every other system and hack out there.Thread question(s): While superheroes are considered a quintessentially American pop culture phenomenon, some stories do mention superheroes being active in other countries. What differences might arise between two given countries' superhero culture? Do supers from different nations have agreements with each other? Is there ever friction over jurisdictions? Is there a superhero office in the UN?

Destined seems to be a very strong system, albeit I have much more experience with regular mythras over destined. Destined seems good for also allowing easy creation for not even necessarily cape characters. I was thinking of using it to run a game for Greek heroes.

>>98321838I haven't played it, but my worry about Destined was that, due to the way powers worked, it seemed like POW was incredibly overpowered, making pretty much any kind of character MAD by default.

Honestly, the phenomenon has pushed me more towards historical settings and games. No one owns the rights to World War One or Two. No one can argue that there were black female soldiers chilling in the trenches, the MK IV isn’t going to be phased out by some weird hovering variant, and the “lore” can’t be canceled out by some dunce trying to make their mark on the setting. If a company makes dumb minis and decisions, there’s a dozen others doing things the right way. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not about to set my 40K army on fire or anything, but the pull isn’t as strong when the game on the other half of the store isn’t laced with a culture debate about female custodes and androgynous “guardspeople”.
