Do you prefer systems with a strict class-based martial/caster division or classless systems that allow anyone to dip into anything at the cost of never being great at it?
>>97262029>game exists, players are allowed to interact with it in any wayThis is how you get metagamers.
>>97262032you can still make it harder to do so by design
>>97262029That has never happened in my games. Maybe you need better players.
>>97262948Yeah, but that would take effort.It's better and easier to just put a sticky note on the table that says "gm decides everything" and tell people to find a new group if they don't like it.That way you can focus on the stories and worldbuilding a lot more.

>>97252554Mork Borg is a fractal masterpiece where every mechanic is a seed for infinite diegetic complexity, it's rules dense in a way that implies entire subsystems most people simply lack the processing power to unpack. a single agility test here contains more ludonarrative gravity than an entire Player's Handbook of feats and subclasses combined because the system doesn't need to explain the world - it mathematically enforces it.in 100 years, when every other system is just dust in the landfill of forgotten mediocrity, Mork Borg will be the only thing left standing, studied by future civilizations as the Rosetta Stone of pure ludology.
>>97253301To be fair you have to be very high IQ to understand rulelite coffee table books.
>>97254286LOOK AT ME, MORKYI TURNED MYSELF INTO A BORGBORG RICK
>>97257227>the pickle meme >a thinking man's macro
>>97252554Honestly Mork Borg is pretty fun as long as you take it as intended, i.e. not seriously. Cairn is absolute dogshit for attention-starved redditors though.
Is Age of Sigmar good yet?
>>97254004It's shit.
>>97257003I wish cathay was that interesting
>>97253965It was good back when it had abilities with rules like "the player with the bigger mustache wins the roll off" or "if you can get your opponent to kneel at any point in the game you auto win" or your grail knights get a free reroll if you shout heroically "For the Lady!" and shit like that
>>97254202All the factions are playable, what are you babbling about?
>>97258594>Even the most diehard AoS fans have accepted 4e is shit.Now all they have to do is come to terms with the fact that it's not shit because it's 4e, it's shit because it's still AoS, which was always shit.

>>97263308Personally, I would rule more narrowly than what the Sage advises. As a DM I draw a strong line between the spell granting the caster control of the player, and the spell itself controlling the player. A target rendered confused, as the spell, isn't more susceptible to the requests of the caster, unlike a charm target. Otherwise, Protection From Evil renders the target near-impervious to almost anything mind-affecting, which is too much for a 1st-level spell.
>>97232048The real question is why is MM5 so damn expensive? I've never seen one live and it's a small fortune on ebay.
>>97263536It was printed in 2007, the final year before 4e. I have to imagine it was a fairly small print run.
>>97263308>as per the 3.5e FAQ:So nothing of substance then? The faq has 2 issue, it has no actualy authority to adjudicate RAw and is run by whatever random writer was in charge of the service that day. The fact they even released Complete Psionic is proof enough that wotc had many shit writers that didn't understand the game they were writing for.
>>97263659I felt like it would be useful to contribute that all the same. Everything has been picked apart at this point, it's up to the DM to rule what "exercise mental control" means beyond mere charms and compulsions.
Would you say wizards (class) in D&D are generally a little autism-coded?
>>97252281And now we have redditors like puckee infesting the board>>97252240The puckee threads are here>>97255834>>97223103>>97229027
Does this wizard look autistic?
>>97251943No, wizards are smart-"coded." I'm autistic but being smart has nothing to do with being autistic. To the contrary, the vast majority of us autists are retarded and I myself am also outside of a few narrow specialties. Wizards are smart all-around. They have to be, to do magic.
>>97263885What if that thing you were good at was memorizing spells though?
>>97253854>But as you clearly don't play 40kNot only that, I don't even go to any of the 40k general threads! Swing and a miss, dipshit!
I started working on a Science Fantasy TTRPG. It was originally a GURPS setting, but i wanted something more pulpy, less realistic, and it's spun off into its own thing.Here's the latest draft, tell me what you think>https://files.catbox.moe/maxhmu.pdfthe new captcha is fucking gay btw
with all the AI there is on the internet, google only give me is the same oni mask done a million timesthe internet is dead (or at least google image search)

What is the best TTRPG for a Kenshi Campaign?
>>97257329You don't know jackshit of what you are saying. You really can do all you need with just Basic with only using supplements for ridiculous specific stuff which you can only grasp once you actually start playing.
>>97258327>>97261064The point very much includes the matter of options NOT to use, thus Basic covering an enormous amount of ground is part of the problem. Because the POINT of GURPS is that it's not specific to any particular subset of TTRPG design space, and thus to support a specific theme the end user has to undertake no small amount of design work pruning what doesn't fit.All the discussion has been what enormous mounds of content apply, none of the detail of what to remove that's needed to actually assure the campaign fits Kenshi in particular.
>>97257329Basic Set can do most games, I mean it's nearly 600 pages ffsSplatbooks are for the jaded sort of GURPS enthusiast that won't move a muscle unless there's an official rule for everything
>>97263081>and thus to support a specific theme the end user has to undertake no small amount of design work pruning what doesn't fit.Not really? It's a little more involved in chargen if your players are the type to start buying TL12 disintegrators just because it's in the book.

>>97264380Please post them when you get the chance!
>>97264476what model on the left?
>>97265333God, people like Valrak truly have done irreparable damage to this IP
>>97264792>>97264860That might be Garreon, who was an Astral Claws apothecary.Though I would be surprised if we don't get Armanneus Valthex since he had a model for the Badab War and it would be cool to get a named Warpsmith for the Red Corsairs.
Should rogue maidens be holy or unholy?
>>97244418Ideally, rogue would be a versatile opportunist, able to quickly read the situation and adjust the approach accordingly.

ca/tg/irls, have you ever roleplayed a MALE character?(inspired by the other thread, because why not)
>>97261208I bet he could hold his breath for ten minutes.
>>97256921During my cringey HS/college Tumblr days I used to play male characters because I always said I was a gay man in a woman's body. Now it's like a 50/50 split.
>>97259127I'm a dude but my playgroup is 4 women and 2 men, and only one of the women hasn't played a male character at one point or another. One of them has played almost exclusively male characters.The thing they actually won't do is GM. Me and the other man have played less characters, because one of us is typically GMing, but we've both only played men also in the games we have been in, although I'm considering a female PC for an upcoming campaign (I don't like evil/scumbag characters and the next one is apparently going to work best with mercenary, money-focused PCs, so I'm leaning toward an orphanage matron who has taken up thieves guild work to fund the institution. Feels more natural for the PC to be a woman. Still a human though, I'm not a freak.).So anyways, the women in our group run cross gender PCs way more than the men.
Traditional games?
I've tried it, but I never feel like I'm getting it right. I'm just not great at getting into the headspace.
How would you implement undead PCs in a game, in a way that feels flavorful and meaningfully different from regular PCs?
>>97257344>chiefly concerned with how being undead would affect ability to kill mobs for loot and not how society would react to the undead guy going around with the partyTerminal D&Dbrain.
>>97258774Dear nogames, when you actually play games, you need rules. The rules will in turn influence roleplay. You'll understand once you play a real game.
