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?

Yeah, 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.

Welcome to the New School Revolution General, the thread dedicated to games derived from the OSR movement.

>What is NSR?
>NSR is a subcategory of the OSR, it mostly follows the same play style but experiments further with the mechanics and settings.
>Broadly NSR games have a gm, a living world, are rules light, deadly and focus on emergent narrative, interaction and exploration.

>What is this thread NOT for?
Meta discussions or drama of the games and its creators aka shadowboxing with twitter, reddit and the OSRG (frens with osrbros)
>stay on topic

>games
Shadowdark, into the odd, mausritter, cairn, mörk borg (and its hacks), dungeon crawl classics, mothership, knave, troika!, whitehack, blackhack, old school essentials (we know this is just a retroclone), etc.

Mork 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.

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.

Personally, 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.

>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.
>>
>>97263659
I 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?

>>97251943
No, 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.

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

What is the best TTRPG for a Kenshi Campaign?
35 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>97257329
You 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
>>97261064
The 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.
>>
>>97257329
Basic Set can do most games, I mean it's nearly 600 pages ffs
Splatbooks 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.

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.

During 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.
>>
>>97259127
I'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.
