Reminds me of a guy I knew who had extremely expensive magic decks and then got into warhammer, believing his pay-to-win strategy would carry over.
He had a bona fide meltdown when deepstriking metla troops (Tau/guard/Eldar) annihilated all his forgeworld Chaos baneblade tanks and was ranting about how much money they cost.
This was 15 years ago, we still laugh about it to this day.

Connotation. For example in Polish, the word for a wizard (czarodziej) could be translated literally as someone doing spells, which depending on your stance on how people percieved magic and shit in ye olde timeth might be seem as neutral connotation. Meanwhile a sorcerer (czarnoksiężnik) is someone casting black (spells), so he's seen as an evil fellow for sure

The etymology of a word isn't the same as its present day meaning. Two words can have different etymology and mean the same thing.

Wizard and sorcerer have the same dictionary definition, they just have slightly different connotations.

Also worth noting because a lot of people miss this: wizard was originally used in a negative sense. It wasn't being used to mean a literal "wise man". The original usage was "often disparaging with implications of falseness or pretence."

I'm running a detective story set in 1960s Osaka using Disco Elysium's system, just for tabletop.

My problem is that I don't really know what a FYS + MOT build would be like. I've played it once in-game, and the game itself pulls it off rather decently but I'm struggling to translate that into a real-world setting.
If one of my players went with a FYS + MOT build what kind of things would they catch that other builds wouldn't? How do I make the build interesting to them when it's probably the build with the least talkative skills?
i.e. how do I let my players know this build is just as valid as any other one despite it being the "hardcore dumbass" build

So you genuinely are dumb. There's a fuck ton of clues and foreshadowing that you're looking in the wrong places and that NONE of your initial suspects are the actual killer. You genuinely haven't played the game

>There's a fuck ton of clues and foreshadowing that you're looking in the wrong places and that NONE of your initial suspects are the actual killer.
Yes. But you can't look for the actual suspect or investigate for actual clues until the game lets you to and at that point it just basically holds your hand and points to the solution. You don't solve the mystery. The VN just tells you the solution when it thinks its appropriate for the narrative. This is bad even for mystery novel standards.

Age of Strife Terra obviously but you can just shoehorn techno-barbarians anywhere if that's your thing.

See above, but for the drone pilot part you can try these:
-Traveller (specifically The Robot Handbook)
-Lancer (specifically if you play the Hydra)
-Eclipse Phase (you can upload your brain in a drone)
The Sprawl (PbtA)
Shadowrun
Sinless (Shadowrun lite)

This is actually something I've been thinking about a lot too.

I've heard people recommend Barbarians of Lemuria but I've never read it, and I don't think there's any drones.

Mutants and Masterminds (at least the original) can do high-power sword & sorcery, it even had a supplement dedicated entirely for that, which was basically a He-Man RPG.

And of course there's GURPS, but that isn't very cinematic.

Was the second Lemurian Chronicles book Ludospherik did worth the dosh, or even the time spent reading it?
10 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.

>>98214147
Oh, Barbarians of Lemuria should be available in the share thread, but there's lots of reviews and let's-plays if you google it. Some free adventures, too, at places like the Strange Stones blog. It's a 2d6 v 9 system by default aimed at one shot or short pulp adventures, and I recommend going up to 2d10 v 12 or 13 if you want a longer game.

It's fairly rules-light, with spinoffs like Everywhen or Honor+Intrigue adding more depth to combat. The latest edition is Mythic, specifically the Ludospherik version (they bought the rights to the system from its creator, and are responsible for making 3 splats, 2 of which are in English and one still only in French).

The actual setting depicted in the core rulebook is pretty bare bones and boilerplate, but leaves you room to fill in the blanks in an unobtrusive way. You have you basic variety of city-states full of murder and Intrigue thriving in a post-apocalypse of a post-apocalypse caused by, who else, evil sorcerers. Races include humans, winged men, blue giants, ape-men called grooth, and the artificially grown one-eyed kalukhan (who got a specific adventure for them in Lemurian Chronicles 1).

I don't have an answer for OP, but since this is a perfectly serviceable thread, any fellow GMs got tips for keeping Mythic's combat interesting?

>>98219032
Simple one is to give boss tier enemies a second turn every round. I also like things like auras which cause Disadvantage, or successful attacks provoking an immediate (disadvantaged) counter. Leads to more creative thinking rather than just charge in with a sword. Nothing crazy complex in that, obviously.

Famously naughty gamebook / media franchise Queen's Blade is getting a relaunch. Based off the Lost Worlds series of one-on-one gamebooks (basically you fought your opponents, and there was an FPS-style picture book illustrating actions), this has the rules for all 19 heroines...

Also, this includes their Fifth Edition-compatible stat blocks as essentially a bonus feature, allowing those same characters to be imported into regular fantasy RPG campaigns.
