Backerkit is live, grogs!https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/atlas-games/ars-magica-5th-edition-definitive>What is Ars Magica?Ars Magica is the award-winning roleplaying game by Jonathan Tweet and Mark Rein•Hagen about wizards and their allies in Mythic Europe. This flexible, deeply built world can support games that are historically accurate or fantasy-based, epic or small scale, political or personal.Players work together to tell the story of their covenant — all of the magi, their companions, and grogs. This history can span decades. It might be heroic, tragic, or both in turn. The covenant could influence the entirety of Mythic Europe or the fates of a small corner of the world.Spells will be cast. Duels won and lost. Houses may rise and fall. But magic is forever.>Grimoire: Gameplay BasicsArs Magica is a troupe-style, storytelling game. This means that players will not only play a magus, but also the companions and grogs who serve them. Each of these characters contributes to the covenant they belong to, and therefore to the story itself.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>94204384I would've thought since magi are so autistic and specialized that other characters need to be used at times.>legal mattersgood to know where the more detailed legal stuff is located, thanks.
I've been interested in looking into Ars Magica ever since my group played and enjoyed Pendragon, is the current edition a good starting point? Is the corebook enough to play by itself or are there must-have sourcebooks to get the game and explain it to my group?
>>94211497Depending on what you liked about Pendragon, AM is either a great fit ("we liked the sense of time passing and characters aging") or terrible ("we liked playing questing knights"). The core book is a great start, and honestly all you need. But after that, I'd look into Covenants, the four Realms books, and whichever region book interests you. If you can wait though, all of them should be available for free after Creative Commons kicks in. Read those, decide what you like, then buy something if you want.
>>94212336Thanks, I'll check out the core at the very least.
>>94213976This game runs pretty damn deep and complex even with just the core. I think after reading that and doing some fiddling around with it, you'll know what areas you need to hear more about, but I think you'd be fine for quite a while playing with just core.
What is the Laby.rinth of Bon.es? The Foll.owers of S.et revised clanb.ook reference.s it as a known thing, but I can't find anything on it.Also, Vampire thread I guess. Sorry for the retarded random dogs, 4changs spamfilter is shit.
>>94202187Woah, what's with all the dots? Makes it kinda hard to read.
What is even the deal with settites? I understand most of the clans except these weird egyptian snake vampires
>>94215616Read Conan. Evil cultist egyptian snake vampires is just a dumb pulpy trope and make for fine villains. Unfortunately a lot of VtM players got it in their heads that every clan should be a valid playable option.

So it's like this. I'm a pretty new GM and I'm setting up my first proper dungeon, and I'd like all the most insane and autistic advice you guys have to torment my players with. I don't really want to start picking them off but I would like to truly torment them.The setting is a very very custom one in space. Party works as an odd-jobs group for the space CIA - ONI, the Inquisition, whatever. What matters is that they were in charge of helping their military set up a surprise attack on a rebel shipyard in orbit of a hitherto-uncharted planet. They did this part, but they subtly boarded and took over a monitoring outpost that was going to look at the way the fleet was coming in, making it look like nothing was the matter. All of this was just a setup, though - once the attack began, the enemy teleported everyone in their outer stations back to preserve their lives, accidentally including the party. They find themselves aboard the primary objective of the offensive, an enormous dreadnought called Liberator.Basically, the party's state built a gigantic and powerful superdreadnought called Warspite, but there were spies in the program that let a particularly rich rebel faction built their own by copying the steps before stealing Warspite. Warspite has already been retaken and now the good guys (or at least the side the players are on) are also seeking to seize or failing that destroy Liberator, which is said copy ship that's almost finished.The Liberator is alive, though (magic in this setting plus it has a mind of its own from the ship design needing a person forever strapped into it mind and body and soul almost like a Dreadnought or a Wraithknight). And so I was planning on a thing where they have to escape but end up having to deal with the maze from hell on a very much undercrewed but very much alive ship, and while the crew isn't what it should be there are still plenty of rebels aboard.
I have some script and ideas and I know what I'm doing for the first section that's this coming weekend, and I'm happy to talk about them if someone replies with enough interest to make it worth my time to prevaricate on about, but I'm here to hopefully hear fun and deranged ways to torment my party, because I need them to be THRILLED to escape the Liberator so that what happens next really lands like I want it to.
>>94209589>>94209595Can you post the map?
>>94209589>>94209595>I want to deliberately make my game badAnd thus, the problem solves itself - your player will leave in 2d3 games and you will never find another group ever again.Many such cases. Literally so - it's like a story of 80% of all people who flag in questionaries as "played some TTRPG, but not anymore" - either they had utterly bad GM in their first and final group, or they were that GM
OP you don't really have to try that hard to make your players worry, especially when starting out. Every moment can be an "oh shit" moment when you don't know what you're dealing with. As long as you're not repeatedly throwing chaff that can't hurt them (and even then it can be a roadbump if they have limited time to do something, like escaping a room that's being sealed), or you really go out of your way to look like an asshole that wants to fuck them over, chances are they're going to worry about health, ammo, and whatever else.
>>94209589I'm going to assume you are already aware of Marathon, but that would be a point of inspiration if you aren't aware. Elsewise, one recommendation would be to have various normally maintenance-only components of the vessel accessible through seemingly-standard bulkhead doors. Open a door directly in the ships coolant system, open a door directly to its waste processing tubes. As this is still in production, these doors are unlabeled, and the spirit running the ship has a sadistic sense of taste. The ship almost certainly has internal communications, so perhaps the intercom system is playing various sorts of infrasound to fuck with invaders. Due to it not being complete, there might also be various safety hazards from exposed wiring to open grates in dark rooms. And of course that isn't talking about the arcane hazards that are a part and parcel of dealing with magic on vast scales.Its also likely that the piloting spirit might have some frustrations with the crew, and with a crew that massive, its not unlikely that some rebels have gotten lost and driven mad by the vengeful spirit of the ship. Consider not only normal hostile rebels, but madmen and cultists who've begun to see the ship in a different light, providing problems for both PCs and crew.

A deck of cards has basically infinite replay value yet they only cost a few dollars to buy. How the fuck do card manufacturers remain in existence when they sell their product for so cheap?
check out my coof cards Plastic cards suck so much its unreal
one thing I don't understand is why tcg cards are so shitty compared to even lower quality normal decks...it's because of printing methods or because most cards really are made to never be played? everytime i have to shuffle a tcg deck it's so sad
>>94213693Like 90% of all playing cards are printed on USPCC factories with the same cardboard stock and finish, this includes most TCGs and board game cards. I assume different factories might have slightly different production methods so its a crapshoot depending on location and country of origin, the same product line might have different characteristics

I found some old PBS specials based on the big cutaway books by David Macauley. Lots of good research here for historical details.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA9C3672CED7D4327
>>94209003Grew up with Macauley's books. To keep it marginally /tg/ related, there's one he did called "Motel of the Mysteries" spoofing the Carter dig for Tutankhamun that could be good inspiration for what the dungeon was actually for.
>>94209003Neat, thanks anon. On historical stuff that's potentially useful to /tg/ there's a recent high res scans of the Book of Kells for free. https://digitalcollections.tcd.ie/concern/works/hm50tr726?locale=en
>>94209003Nice share, Anon.On my to-do list is to find good-quality scans and use some of the images for the outside of a GM screen.>>94209602They were a staple in youth as well. I had an uncle who read "Motel" and when I asked him what he thought he replied "Sarcastic SOB, isn't he?"

>>94209285Imagine being too damn cheap to print a legible statblock. Cross-referencing 3 or 4 goddamn books with color-coded rainbow pieces of flair and autistic keywords. You have to be a special kind of glue eater to defend this nonsense.

>>94207535Right, but the wizard gets to apply those at a distance and sometimes to multiple creatures at the same time. And he has access to a wider selection, as far as I know you can't apply things like fascinated or restrained or sickened or whatever else with a sword, not without investment in magic items and feats. >>94209433That'd just be 4e.
>>94209839Retard.
>>94209587Yes, retard. All information you need to run the monster should be printed in the statblock.
