Got 5. 5 Whole lean mean racist machines ready to play a star wars RPG Sunday nights. All of us are green as shit. All of us work construction in some shape or form. Need someone like us. I know you are out there...
>can't rope his friends into running the game they're all hyped to play>so hyped himself that he only wants to run a one-shot>need to find someone who is just like them to be just as hyped as they all areFor sure. It'll be much easier to rope a total stranger into doing it.
Correct.
>>98021299>Looking for a GMDo it yourself.
>>98021299>Whole lean mean racist machineswhy would I GM for a racist player...?
>>98021423Because it's more fun when you forget your XCard at home.>>98021299Best I can do is two Sundays on, two Sundays off. Weird factory schedule. Timezone is not an issue, but I am EST and my tribe is the northern ¡Tabarnacos!, so a bit of an accent.
Welcome to Mecha Monday! Here we dedicate ourselves to mecha RPGs, wargames, and boardgames alike. Here we start games, tell campaign stories, share resources & assets, and seek advice for our games and homebrew.Assorted Mecha Goodness:https://pastebin.com/E2wi55AZEmbryo Machine Translation:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1r_cjOLuUp3HussVRhbQYU3G0zK6hwy1rLancehounds Homebrew:M3g4 folder/eMEBUbCL#kj2FRrlqTa-02U16XpnVRgPrevious Thread: >>97608068Question of the Thread: Should mechs have a fully formed internal frame that other things are layered on top or should each component be a discrete block?Thread Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m3Gzm0zsN0
>>97993610Ever looked thru one of /m/'s Ryusei threads?
>>97954030Some proper art of the game from the same artist. Golems, the mechs of the game, are immensely powerful and immensely haunted, and are the desperate creations of the Sublime Defense Federation against the near infinite sea of sapient biomass that surrounds the last galaxy of the universe. Getter Robo, Ideon, and Zeorymer were some of the major inspirations.
>>98016468 excited about that one it looks pretty good
>>97997160
what happens when the thread reaches the next monday
Why do protagonists always look like this
>>98018219Nah you’re just a bitch
Is that Bell Cranel
>>98021329It’s ai generated sloppa
>>98017825>He’s thinkingBold of you to assume>anime slopNot even most JTTRPGs have that look.
>>98018537Still has a penis thobeight
>Conquers the entire galaxy with his anti-religion ideology>Can’t 100% stamp out Mars’ weird religion???
>>97971425Because it came naturally to him like all loyal citizens of the Imperium.
>>97976872Humans at least pretend to have humans best interest in mind instead of trying to just lead you purely to your death.You don't have to favour the imperium as a faction in real life, but in universe, of course they are the best you have.
>>98014382>bioweapons project from the DAOTDid we lose common knowledge of the old lore about him being the result of all earth's shamans commiting ritual suicide to be reincarnated as a single being when they noticed warp daemons were eating their souls when they died? This was supposed to be like ancient times pretechnology so the emperor was always an immortal existing somewhere in the background of human history.
>>98021524its just one guy who is really tring to push the he is toally a DAoT invention idea because he saw it in a book once, never mind the fact said book also makes it very clear the idea is retarded
>>98021529I've been so disenfranchised with 40k for the past 3 years and out of the loop that I wouldn't have put it past the current writers to retcon in some new bullshit that surplants cool established ideas because they are old.
Does masculinity exist as a concept in your games. I mean in an actual unadulterated form?
>>98008626>Ethics and Morality are downstream of Logic and ReasonIt's the exact other way around. If you weren't capable of making value judgements, you wouldn't have anything to be logical about.
>>98008626so were you going to answer what I asked?
>>98008626well?
>>98008626No, morality comes from preference and emotion, and ultimately from biology, and there is nothing rational about it in the slightest, except in the sense that it happened to improve survival fitness. It is not rational in the sense of conscious reasoning.
>>97985966No. I play Symbaroum.
How do you deal with player death?
>>98009636Primarily by playing games that don't suck shit
>>98012902What quest? What are you talking about?
>>98014402>>98014473You are not subtle and you are not good at this lmao
>>98009636One of my players committed suicide.Still don't really know how to process that one. Was a public pickup game I ran casually at an LGS. Must have played about 4-5 times total.

>>98007057he shut down his store and transferred all the models to a new one. Hasn't finished rolling everything out.>>98010903Just minis, no band-aid system to go with them.
>>98018239Thx
I'm gonna fire up my necromunda campaign again. Is there some very basic campaign manager that I can use for this? I used yaktribe last time and players had trouble signing up, plus it was very iffy about adding homebrew crap and showing my players info I wanted them to have access to.
>>98016500they're not all in one place, but yes there are stls out there for anything and everything. often many of them>the armies for Epic Armageddon that existed when Epic Armageddon was still being publishedit'd be very rare to find a group deliberately locking in to the armylists from the original hardcopies, they're generally considered not very balanced. and they haven't been current for tournaments for 15-ish years.
>>98019880Munda Manager is what you want here

I'm interested to know if anyone has tried the systems that use cards to resolve actions or provide story cues, like Enter the Shadowside or Lace & Steel.
>>97992529Tokyo Nova uses poker cards, treating the card's value as a dice roll (numbered ones as-is, face cards as 10s, Aces as 11 or set result to 21, Joker as any card), linking the card suits to the four main attributes (Reason, Passion, Life, Mundane). and linking each Skill to one of the attributes (upgrading a skill lets you use an additional suit/attribute to use it). Everyone plays with a hand of 4 cards and must replenish to 4 whenever cards are used/discarded. If you don't have the right hand, you can risk a Blind Draw - get the right suit and you succeed, fail otherwise, Fumble if you draw a Face Card of any suit.System also uses Tarot Cards, each one symbolizing one of the Classes/Styles. A Tarot Card is drawn at the start of each scene to loosely determine its mood and contents. Moreover, when you make a PC you designate one of your Style Tarots as being a Trump Card, which you gain at the start of each session alongside your Hand. You can spend your Trump Card whenever you want to transform the last card you used into a Joker, effectively giving you the best possible result. This also replaces the Scene Card with your Trump, pretty much meaning you've stolen the spotlight I know a lotta players who use this as an excuse to fire up whatever track they've picked as a character theme.
Bump for love of Lace & Steel. Reminds me I need to finish my long-dormant revised edition.
Is the one in the OP a card game for duels? Looks cool.
>>97992529What's the name of that Italian game about post-apo aftermath of WW2? Sine Requie? It's entirely card-based
>>98016243Lace & Steel. Renaissance Europe with centaurs and satyrs and lots of duelling.
Sandbox gods, how do we stop winning all the time?
>>98000002Roll Channeling + Necromancy to animate the body, and record how many successes were in the necromancy pool - that's your control rating for the zombie.
replied = railcuck :)
bump :)
story be damned
>combat is a fail stateWhy do OSR boomers constantly repeat this meme as if they don't try the same 5 tactics every time, copied from Star Wars and similar movies. Nothing they do in OSR D&D games is clever or original. It's always "uhhh dude I bribed the guards I'm so much more clever than you and then when I did get in a fight and started losing I pulled out my OIL FLASK and poured it on the floor and no one could follow me because if you jump over burning oil you die instantly, it's like Greek fire AKA a nuclear weapon" do people actually fall for this shit?
Ironic.
>>97967404soijaks should automatically result in a permanent ban
>>98014139I made it myself though.
>>98016123Should be a double permaban
A game is a contrivance btw
Why were character alignments such a big deal in 3.5 edition?
>>98017240Not in Common Law, no matter the protestations of legal experts. Though the role tends to be filled more by political activist prosecutors than juries checking the system with popular consent these days.
>>98014760>literal animal in neutral evilI'm not entirely sure about that
>>98015797Yet we have no Lawful Autist, Neutral Autist, or Chaotic Autist
>>98014760They weren't. Just another facet of characters, mostly for adjudicating mechanical effects and cosmic relations.
>>98017240This is objectively untrue. The ideas of impartiality and objective evidence are modern concepts, and we still have vestiges of this in many countries with jury systems today.Why do you think it is "jury of your peers"? The original intent was that you'd be judged by locals that knew you, preferably of your own standing and profession, because the idea was that only they could understand the situation - and also, likely, because they had the power to shame you when your crimes were laid bare, which was a huge part of pre-modern justice.This also meant that people that were unpopular were judged harsher than pillars of the community. Exile was a big thing.
Once more we have our resident trolls shitting up an OSR thread to argue about how OSR games they dislike aren't OSR. So let's move that topic to where it's on topic.I'll start, Castles and Crusades is the acknowledged first published OSR game. Gary Gygax himself backed it as "true" old school.So why do you think it isn't OSR?
>>98020978The funniest part is that he keeps crying, pissing and shitting himself when the fact that he's drastically outnumbered inevitably means he gets rekt and his shitty troll threads get crashed.>noooooo you can't do this to meeeeeeee stop postiiiiiing go awaaaaay
>>98020957Nope! Wrong. C&C isn't an OSR game.
>>98021079History disagrees with you, as did GG himself. I know reason and fact can't get though your ideology
>>98020957>No, it's a neocloneWhat does that even mean?
>>98021133A neoclone is the term they used in the early days of OSR to separate from pure copies, which are retroclones. A neoclone isn't a pure copy, but a mix of more modern mechanics to recreate pre 3e game play.C&C is a mix of d20 and ad&d. It used some stuff from d20, but kept the balance that of pre 3e games.Basically if the game has any mechanical changes of modern origin, that is a neoclone

>>98021154The solution is to roll an intelligence save and if I pass the dm gives me the golden egg. That’s just how 5E works
>>98021237Roll an insight check on jimbo, boom. The dm has to tell us if we can trust him or not. It’s solved

Is WARMACHINE back now? Do people play it now that Steamforged is releasing print files for old armies and supporting it?
>>98012629a very big rat?
>>98012809My first instinct is a wolf creature, but werewolves in the setting are something completely unrelated.
>>98012629>a faction of nothing but flying beastsFuuuck those are going to be a pain in the ass to fight. Pathfinder already feels like it's everywhere, and flying is like the supercharged version.
>>98016818they should be squishy atleast.
>>98018926I feel like they are going to be squishy and, at least on the lights, low POW but with tricksy rules. We do know the army is going to play very forward, due to the gimmick with the warlocks.
