At least you've got the garbage sorted, I guess.

I've got a ton of Battletech minis to do, but I did recently finish painting up two battalions worth of mechs and vehicles in Davion colors. Gonna do another for Kurita next but I'm holding off until their forcepacks come out here so I can do more lore-friendly formations.

my thoughts exactly

Man, the campaign I've been playing in for the last 3 or so years is nothing like that.
Neat.
Sure, It's a bunch of old dudes, half of us even have children, playing D&D 3.5e, although everybody at the table has and does play 5e from time to time too.

>>96701991
>DDC is probably the most honest take on how old school actually was played
I've heard that exact sentiment a couple times before.
Interesting.

>be forever dm
>Party is all 5e players
>Occasionally get them to try something else like Vampire, Mothership, even ran a few session of Dogs in the Vineyard
>They always want to go back to 5e where the boring combat takes forever
>They don't even really know 5e rules that well

>>96702580
I will never understand this. It's like they only play DND to say they're a DND player because it's a 'cool' thing to do now, but none of them actually give a fuck about tabletop games or even really enjoy them unless it's just a group roleplaying experience with like 3 dicerolls the entire session.

I blame Critical Roll (and every other slop-shit "lets watch people play games instead of playing them" program) and, I don't know, Stranger Things? These people are literally fucking chained to DND. Even if they don't enjoy it. I don't fucking get it man

People are so lazy. They don't want to learn a new system even if it just takes one session for them to pick it up.

D&D is old. They're stuck with some concepts like initiative because they're part of the D&D brand, but they slow the game down.

If they never play any other systems, they won't know what they're missing out on.

>>96681492
I'll be honest I've never played a ttrpg except for that one time...

BUT I will say that I appreciate the depth of resources and inspiration D&D pulls from in that it aims to be "complete". What I mean is it tries to give some support to the widest array of whatever topic you're looking at as options, whether it's cultural backgrounds, class archetypes, whatever.
Besides GURPS that has rules for everything, D&D probably is runner up with rules and flavor.

>accentuate simplicity and immersion during the development
That's a common misconception, but actually gamism and crunch are objectively the most important

>>96699484
The majority of people who play them do so for social reasons and those who do so are barely literate more often than not. Otherwise people would just play AD&D or something more complex and be fine with it.

>>96699541
The vast majority of people are playing d&d. You've already failed if your target audience is the lowest common denominator, an indie game HAS to lean into its inherent niche status. That includes accepting that all playstyles are equal.

>>96697756
That is a dogshit idea
A good ttrpg system is a set of tools for the dm and players to use to make the game
They could do anything, but these tools help them simplify things, allowing them to focus on more interesting decisions
You have no tools, only expectations
Expectations are trash that weighs down a game, like having a wrench strapped to your arm, clanging against your computer as you type away at your office job
Tools get you from a to b, expectations impede you

You should focus on actually fucking playing games
At very least grind out some solo games

Also, post about the fucking game. you are nobody, infact everyone here is. none of us matter, only our ideas. next time you ask for something you should have actual plans or ideas relating to in instead of women (An unknown woman unrelated to the idea no less)

>>96697756
Is this a brand new system or trying to publish homebrew/setting for an existing TTRPG?

Go for it. As long as it sounds cool, players will fudge the rools anyways.

And no pun intended but that guy in your picture is ugly god damn.

Speaking of Metalheads, I'd really like to know how customizable they can get. I already wish there was more concrete rules for adding stuff from Sourcebook One into cyborgs, UT this adds even more potential options. There's little to no difference between robots & power armor & cyborgs & such. The books will even say as much. Can a regular cyborg get a universal energy plug from Northern Gun in their wrist? I don't see why not. Could a TW Borg get a few extra Arzno PPE batteries installed to give them even more power? Can you strap rockets to a cyborg? Install some TW Bionic style upgrades/weapons into a golem? I don't see how they can't benefit from something like the Wave Impact Generator or the dragonbreath weapon.

>>96697635
Generally it feels like they need a second Bionics Handbook (I hate even giving Kevin that idea), where the first section is
>This is the new Cyborg class
>They get to pick 2,000,000 credits worth of types A, B, C, D, E, F, G parts
>This is the new Headhunter class
>They get to pick 850,000 credits worth of types A, C, D, F parts
And then go from there.

I'm thinking of upping the damage of railguns across the board.
The fact they need both ammo and energy makes me feel like they should pack more of a punch.
Especially given they also tend to weigh 5x as much as the equivalent energy weapon.
Also I fucking love rail guns.
Only question is do I remove the burst rules for rail guns and make them work like other sci fi railguns (and like the boom gun) or do I keep them as magnetic machine guns?
In either case I think 4d6+4 damage will be the weakest one and go up from there.

>>96702747
I think the"railguns" that arent the Boomgun should be renamed Gauss weapons, with the Boomgun & maybe some others being actual railguns. Most of the burstfire stuff is way better explained as an active Gauss coil being fed a bunch if ammo during its energized burst. And the Boomgun should be more properly called a rail cannon but thats splitting hairs

>>96702747
>4d6+4 damage will be the weakest one and go up from there.
"The rail pistol" AKA the Pop Gun

You can tell how well read a shitposter isn't when they talk about anything relating to gender roles in fantasy.You have no idea how many times this can of worms has been opened up or how to cook them.

It depends on your setting, at the very least.

>>96703421
Anon, to be a witch you only need two requirements:
>be a woman.
>know magic.

>>96698027
Yeah, OP's bait aside, it's just a "it depends on your setting" thing, and the gender roles and social hierarchies within, and the less autistic you are about the topic the more creative you can be with it. Like if you wanted to be all jokey about it you could say that pretentious and grand titles like "archmage" are such a masculine thing to do, so the existence of the title could suggest either men dominate or once dominated the space. Which then lets you go the Discworld route where yes, it is a pretentious thing male dominated magic universities dream up so they can do lofty research and write magic theory, while the actual work and engineering of magic is done by the local village witch who has to use it for actual everyday life problems or to keep fairies from stealing the sheep.

And that's fun. It's dynamic and satirical but is kind of like an ecosystem. Some high brow university educated wizard publishes a book on a niche topic but he's never done any field work, just controlled lab work, and you only about the book because the witch you're visiting has a copy of his book on her shelf and it's full of scribbled notes and scraps of paper used as bookmarks and she'd argue to death that the wizard doesn't know half of what he's talking about, but she'd never admit he was a genius for the other half.

But OP's just kind of like doing dumb as shit incel bait and that's pretty stale bread to be throwing in the pond.

with trannies, you get rich, with muslims, you become the employed equivalent of alex mahan
but either one still makes way more than mr. white superior who spent all his time posting racism only and collecting unemployment checks/parents' allowance (and bought mtg cards with it)

Can you put space colonies outside of lagrange point?

>>96701123
Also, hollowing should absolutely be a game mechanic, something that doesn't fit anything in Fallout.

>>96701227
It can be an optional game mechanic for the setting, and it is very obvious that in Fallout it is relevant if you are playing as a ghoul.

Good to see another one of these, OP.

I’m writing a “science fantasy action adventure game”. The core mechanic uses a d6 dice pool with two to six dice. Rolls of 4 to 6 succeed, and falling short of or exceeding the target number results in varying degrees of success.
Sixes explode, offering bonus rolls, but ones defuse any rolls that would explode. Attributes determine the sizes of dice pools during checks, and skill levels grant modifiers that players can use to improve failed rolls, get rid of ones or create sixes.

I have character and monster creation tools pretty much finished, but I’m still working on “techniques,” anything that costs MP to use. I’m getting my players together on Sunday to test it out.

>>96699230
making a dungeon for my players that i hope they enjoy in daggerheart and i'm finding the game doesn't really have a great weapon and armor loot pool desu. so i'm going to add some classic magic item effects like flame brand so a weapon can go from physical damge to magic damage when lit adding 2d6 damage, blinding shield that gives a disadvantage to attackers and a 2nd disadvantage to enemies in a burst when they owner loses a tick of armor but i don't know if its too strong or weak. Also weapons that can do an ability (use a card) once a scene would this be to strong?

I think you're culturally too attached to another board.

>>96669621
The staff gives a +1 to spell rolls, but you have to hold it in two hands during casting.

The wand does the same as the staff and 1 handed, but it halved the range of any spells cast through it, except contact spells, of course.

The rod is 1 handed and can be used also as a basic melee weapon. Gives +1 only to contact spells.

The crystal has no bonuses but is the only one that retains the ability to be used as a catalyst if it is temporarily transmuted into another object. This makes it good for combat wizards who like to transmute their crystal into weapons or for sneak wizards who turn them into mundane objects like coins.

The orb lets you ponder spells before casting them. You make the roll first and if you don't like it you can choose to spend your turn pondering and save the spell slot/magic points instead of casting the spell. Each time you ponder you get a cumulative -1 to your next spell until you actually cast a spell, at which point the penalty resets.

>>96699746
Is this a botted post?
The 'default game system' has spells cast automatically with no checks, unlike attacks, unless the spell is also an attack, because lmao, fuck martials

GURPS is 3d6 and +1/-1 is kinda a big deal, unless your target number is super low or super high, in which case it's almost an automatic pass/fail.

WoD and everything related is dicepool with fixed target numbers

Warhammer is d100 and +1/-1 is basically negligible.

Conclusion: this post does not address any of the actual game systems, but is generated by an LLM in an artificial context of a "generic tabletop game".

>>96669621
I don't know if I'd want them to be analogues of weapons in that way.

I like the idea of a versatile wizard having all of them for different types of magic, like pulling out the wand like a scalpel for a Knock spell, a rod for a fireball, and maybe the staff for summoning or something affecting a larger area.

Practically, if your dex is good and you have a wand, you can maybe roll dex to cast Knock without using the spell slot, or your wand lets you use Knock to unlock triple locked doors, instead of just double locked doors.

Hard to codify exactly how I'd want it.
Short hand maybe I'd say wand is for finesse, rod for force, staff is for larger scale spells, orb is just for divination magic, crystal isn't used.
Then if a wizard specifies that he uses a wand while casting spells that I think makes sense for the wand I'll give him some kind of bonus, maybe roll his dex if applicable.
