What is the personal appeal to you in terms of mechanics and aesthetics? I'm trying to make/find something that works well for a roleplay-focused gaming group
>>98931970Big robot, gonna need a bigger mouth. The struggle is part of the Aristeiaology of Second Secret Peloponnesian War.
>>98931108>What is the personal appeal to you in terms of mechanics and aesthetics?That's probably the wrong question to lead off with.Let me explain:There is something that appeals to the male psyche about tearing up the road in a real fast car, or destroying your enemies in a really big tank or airplane or navy ship. Men like MACHINES that are HIGH PERFORMERS in one way or another (speed or destroying things, or even just hauling around A LOT of cargo in one trip for the most autistic among us).THAT is the appeal of mech-related wargames/RPGs, pure and simple.So, to go back to your question, I think what you're trying to ask is what can you do to get a mech-focused RPG to appeal to a table full of roleplayers?The best directions I can ever point you in is, "Have you ever seen a movie that was vehicle-focused and was wildly successful?"It doesn't matter which movie it was: Top Gun, Hunt for Red October, Ford VS Ferrari, any of the Fast and Furious movies. Even Star Trek episodes where the focus was to use their starship to fight its way out of a situation.Take the appeal of that movie, apply it to your game.
I don't see anyone addressing your point> I'm trying to make/find something that works well for a roleplay-focused gaming groupFights are most compelling when they're stand-ins for interpersonal and ideological clashes. Sure it's cool when big robots clash, but particularly for RPGs where all that is happening in the players' imaginations, it's the personal stakes that makes it feel important. I think Beam Saber would be a good book to check out to frame how squad-based mech combat with crunchy rules can be fun for roleplayers.
For no reason you need to bother to explain the cockpit needs to be a size that only a 15 year old can fit into it. Don't read into it too much there's nothing more here to see.

ah.at last my travelling companion now on his way home and i might recall what has transpiredceoris lived, it perished in fire, and even after all of this, it has an existence like we kindred. unholy and unbidden. first however i must make a proposition. there is a space deep beneath the land that is an alien dimension. somewhere between the womb of the world, the corpse of history, the living flesh of unbidden gods, and a dream. or, perhaps a nightmare might be more fitting for our understandings. what was ceoris is more. it is an active predator that displayed uncomfortable levels of awareness. allowing the unsuspecting and the greedy to find a lone tower, or a crevice into the earth, only to then vanish those entryways. over the course of this expedition we have found several dead kine of varying intentions. some would be stalkers of monsters or government agents. most fools, or travellers swallowed up by this complex. we documented many abominations during our stay. of course the misbegotten horrors of the clan of tremere were the most numerous. gargoyle spawn, perhaps even the children of the grey mother herself clawed into the tunnels like ants burrowing through earth and meat. but there were indeed creatures of the tremere themselves. with long twisted blackened limbs and a ferocious appetite for the rats. but there were horrors that dripped in shadow in this place. of that clan in the caucuses most know by the name; 'lasombra.' they were not kindred. not anymore. more akin to those... single celled creatures. things of baser organs and goo like forms. my people sleep and i shall not bother them with such trivial matters. but i would ask you to consider the most primordial and basal of hunters. that is what they were. in ink colours. stalking the tunnels with silent intent. there were other things as well. things of the dragons. things of kindred make i cannot name. things too close to kindred for my liking...
but none of that mattered to us, as we made our way deeper and deeper into the hell-form, which we realized hid us. to a degree. the nature of that abomination bent and twisted between the uncertain. places not meant to be. we came across anomalies. twice we found deep ocean fish swimming in the waters of some pits. agents that were from some unknown fold of high technology, armed with tools we could not understand. and many dead, whose treasures we were able to use. weapons and armours the ancient balkan clans had made for their wars. things we put to good use.always it seemed we came out lucky, avoiding the true lords of the deep. imagine a gargoyle so swollen with stolen blood it entrapped itself into a few scant halls, no longer able to squeeze out. or else, candles flickering to life when one of the primordial shadows came too near. or else, or else...forgive me, i loose myself. the key. oh it began whispering to me at a certain point, wandering on my palm like an errant compass. my assamite companion wrote three journals wroth of notes upon the cursed relic as i kept it in hand. sketching half a hundred times but refusing to ever touch it, fearing the power. i know not why i was less... infatuated with it. and i care not to know why.the second expedition led us deep. deeper than prior. to depths that we could scarcely hope to keep track of. the fluctuations of that place were like a tide mixed with breathing. twisting like a cording set of strings into rope. i tell you this; whatever the key was, it had wanted to return to the pace it was from. a place we found.deep beneath ceoris, the thing-called-ceoris where the ancient medieval chantry gave way to roman ruins mixed with the roots of peoples forgotten, we found a kurgan. or something like those steppe folk burial mounds. the black earth pulsed, the limestone beneath my feet had a texture like insects, and the ceiling was held up by petrified logs.
within the chamber we found ourselves in, was a throne. of black stone chair, green metal fixings, and such splendid amber as i have never before seen. that contained bones and creatures like insects that even now i cannot describe. for i have never in all the histories seen their ilk, and i wish not to seek them, lest i never find what i search for. ancient treasures of bronze and tine and gold guarded the walls of that place, and behind the throne i felt a presence i could not identify. but my companion had begun screaming, his legs refusing to move as i approached. behind the throne was a chest, or perhaps an archaic coffin. of the same make as that spectral key, no taller than my waist. inlaid with images i could not decipher reflecting faintly the light of a match, as the key in my hand writhed. we were not alone in that place. i had felt it. looming down upon me with the insentient demand to let it out. and it felt then for the first time like the key was a real thing so i did what any fool aught to do.i took that key in both hands, and i snapped it in half.such a thing that i could have used for murder simply snapped then. like the first time i broke a man's femur.it was... as if the whole abominable complex went mad then, a gurgling scream boiling from the walls as the ancient tomb flexed, as if it was but an organ of that leviathan complex having a seizure. grabbing my companion's arm i ran, the chunks of key burning their imprints into my palms as we ran. for hours. manic energy filled the place as water pooled up, rocks fell from the crumbling ceilings, and every poor abominable thing in that place lashed out in an orgy of suicidal wrath. i know only this. had i not learned the tricks of the larvae, or been without my companion, we would have both suffered final death. scrambling like rats outwards, upwards, away from the ranging soul at the bottom of that place.
i know not how we escaped. not completely. we were buried thrice, and the third time we crawled into the basement of a village pub. covered in blood and gore, my companion ready to frenzy when the poor proprietress came downstairs to grab some more czech beer. i dealt with him, and made the old woman forget for the night we were there. and the next evening we departed. after i had pulled a dozen bronze nails out of my foot and safely interred my companion into a luggage crate.i have elected to keep one third of the shattered key, which i shall not elaborate upon. suffice to say it will remain safe in a distant corner of hellas that only the dumbest of fools would ever conspire to reach. one third i have elected to return to a hand in roumania that will be uniquely suited to protecting it. while the last of the trio will be going to the west and the americas. >@leatherneck i must apologize for not being able to produce much at all in the way of answers or context to the deeds of your ancestor, but this... was far outside of us. even now. with all of our blood and our learning and our knowledge. i shall say this. he made the correct decision in hiding the key away. whatever was in that box, whatever that throne was for? it aught never be opened. no soul should occupy that seat.i sign off now for a long vacation and to catch up on my favourite posters here. hopefully not so many have perished.
>>98931024>Do you come to the surface to write your messages?kinda have to, besides my job doing deep sea welding I like to hang down there as I usually finish early so I just relax in the deep. Seen a lot and compared to some of the things I've seen on land the deep is far more peaceful. Maybe it's something in my primordial brain tellin me I'm back home where the first organisms emerged from, maybe I just like cold dark places. I honestly can't explain it.

Is this game making a comeback?I used to play it a lot, but like most people dropped it in the eve of bloated points and increasingly massive miniatures.How is the game today? Is it good? Balanced? What do you think?
>>98929979>simplerGod's no, the simplification and blandification of games to cater to the lowest common denominator is a cancer that is killing the hobby
>>98929221More or less my reaction. All the coolest miniatures no longer exist and have been replaced with garbage. Games with advancing storylines are cancer and have never resulted in anything good long-term.
>>98929221The designs looking so much worse than Everblight's suck. Nothing as cool as the Archangel exists in the replacement army.
>>98929221It really is such wasted potential. We could've had art deco Everblight.
>>98929221Don't worry, they're going to actually squat old models now too, so you won't be able to even if you want to.
The genre is almost perfectly structured for a ttrpg (arguably better than western fantasy) and yet there are basically no games that use a Xianxia setting. What gives?

>>98908550I read too much Gene Wolfe and wanted to run a Dying Earth sword-and-planet style game set on an impossibly ancient world where the sun is dim from age, every natural resource is exhausted, and most civilization has degraded to a near medieval level outside small enclaves of technologically advanced races. All standard Dying Earth stuff. Anyway. The plot would have centered around a "Banishment Quest". The players would all be representatives from tribes who'd all carried the same prophecy, that they must banish their own greatest heroes upon a certain date so that those heroes could travel together to the edge of the world and perform some unspecified ritual that would revitalize the dying planet and steer humanity into a new golden age. And maybe you can do something with the pathos there, you know, that you're the tribe's greatest hero but you're banished and can never return. Aiming for a nobledark, grim but not edgy tone. Along the way, it'd be a standard fantasy adventure but with laser guns and robots and planes and nukes all lying around as "ancient artifacts", and could leave space for pretty much anything. Generic? Yes. But my players had never read Wolfe, never read Vance, never read even fucking read The Dark Tower. So it'd all be new to them. Anyway they said they weren't interested so I didn't run that game.
Gentlemen, today I have become a bonafide wizard. Tell me about your favorite spellcasting systems and mechanics
>>98931621
>>98926900Mage the Awakening, the original and uncut version where they didn't have the rest of the WoD horning in. It was a very good standalone with solid mechanics that allowed for a lot of freedom within the parameters of a magical set. When they aet everyone else in, they had to dumb it way down so that Mages didn't keep turning vampires into lawn chairs and werewolves into living room rugs.
When fluff writing, there's often this question - "if anyone can learn magic, why doesn't everyone learn magic?" And it's either not answered, or it's answered by having magic be commonplace, making it mundane, or some justification confines magic use to a specific caste, bloodline, etc. I feel there's an easy solution, though. Just say that becoming a wizard - a novice, a level one wizard in D&D terms - takes decades of monastic study. To become a wizard, you have to go into apprenticeship before you're ten years old, typically, and spend your entire life from that point on in strict learning and meditation. Chanting mantras, girding yourself against insanity while simultaneously dismantling your own ego. Sometimes taking psychedelics, going through painful rituals, or memorizing pages upon pages of nonsense words that mean nothing to you. And then, when you're 65, you will lain the groundwork to cast your first spell. I think this works great to integrate "generic wizards" in your tabletop fluff. Why aren't they more common? Because it's a lifetime wasted on /x/fag shit that doesn't pay off until most people's retirement age. Why is an old man wizard accompanying a party of twenty somethings, and they're all level one? Well, he's as much of a neophyte as they are, he only just completed his training. But now that his mind is spell-ready, he can level up at the same rate as the fighter and ranger. It explains why you'd have evil wizards, or at least untrustworthy ones... Any wizard who comes into being quickly confronts his own mortality, so half of them get into necromancy and such to extend their lives, just given the sheer amount of time they need. They'd be disconnected from normal society, every one the product of a cloistered existence, but the sheer utility of magic means that kings of every nation would nevertheless sponsor their court wizards, or otherwise peasants may deliver food and supplies to wizard orders whom repay them via ritual and divination.
>One side says paladins should always be Lawful Good and beholden to a god. So-called non-LG paladins are not paladins, but something else>The other side says paladins can be whatever alignment and do not need a god to be beholden to, since their ironclad oath is more importantWhat says /tg/ on this matter?
>>98928427Do you have to send a set percentage of the dragon's hoard to the jews in jerusalem too? After all, they ministered unto the paladin in spiritual things...
>>98929040Sshhh
>>98901878>lust provoking image >irrelevant time-wasting question
>>98901878For me at least, my ideal set-up is that a Paladin should always be obtaining their powers from a deity of some sort. But beyond that, their alignment isn't that big of a deal. If they're aligning with a god of protecting others, then they'd probably be some variant of good. If they're aligning with a chaotic deity, they'd probably be some variant of evil. Ultimately the only demand is that they're genuine in their devotion and don't suddenly go against a big rule of the deity in question.
