What really is difference between Wizards and Sorcerers? Not talking about DnD classes
>>98220004Fortune Teller and Scholar are not effectively the same thing, man.
>>98211104Connotation. 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

>>98220012The 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

>>98224315>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. >You genuinely haven't played the gameNo u. Unironically.>You have to pay to sleep in a hotel? You don't have to, follow the reply chain.

I'd really like to play a character that's basically Conan the barbarian but also a drone pilot in what kind of setting do you find techno-barbarians? with what kind of system?where do they live? what do they do? what do they eat? what's their tax policy?
>>98216372>Conan the barbarian but also a drone pilot Piloting a drone is an inherently cowardly and umanly way to do combat. Conan would never do that. >in what kind of setting do you find techno-barbarians? The middle east.>where do they live? Mostly in isolated villages and caves.>what do they do? Wage war.

>>98216372Traditional games?
>>98216372We have entire galleries of great Blanche art and you slop it up instead. Fuck you and I hope you stub your toe and drop something fragile on the ground.
>>98216372This 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.
Has /tg/ used it?I have been using it for a week and it's pretty cool. It can even undersand common anime settings like GATE and Tate no Yuusha. You can have sex in it but not rape (lame).
God, who cares? Solo TTRPGS already don't require AI DMing, and masturbating is more enjoyable than either option anyway
>>98222791Buy an ad, faggot.
>>98222791>but not rapeWhats the point then?
Was the second Lemurian Chronicles book Ludospherik did worth the dosh, or even the time spent reading it?
>>98214147Oh, 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).
>>98214187Seems cool, I'm gonna go find it in the share threads and give it a read. Been in the mood for something light. Thanks anon.
>>98216702Have fun.Cover from the Ludospherik core book related. Emmanuel Roudier is great.
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? I don't want to rely on players mother-may-Iing it to make it more varied and want to introduce some stuff in encounters myself without layering too much on them.
>>98219032Simple 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.
>hero returns to homeland after a long adventure to find it ransacked and a hollow shell of its former self Should he 1) stay and try to help (It's hopeless) 2) leave and try to find a place to call home 3) commit sudoku
>>98215218What game?
Ransack another land for resources to rebuild the homeland.
>>98215218I'm only interested in how the characters would react to being raped
>>98217901>He's a ChristianNo, we're talking about the hero, not the monsters who ransacked the village
>>98217901Insults to your person are to be forgiven. Insults to God must be punished. The penalty for murder is death. You are religiously required to bring the perpetrators to justice, which is death.
https://hj-trpg.com/news/detail.html?id=2372Famously 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.
Queen's Blade is relatively tame compared to some other stuff that gets published lately.
>>98217213Bump for interest.

I realize the game is very tied to the post-WWIII, destroyed-world pseudo-apocalypse, but I was wondering how easy it is to port to a unique setting that mostly involves exploring and documenting an unknown, anomalous territory.
>>98222631you would have to come up "unknown, anomalous" rules yourself, since, as you said, T2000 is basically the Fulda Gap 1980s WW3 (its technically not post WW3, since its was never declared over). If you are going for weapons autism in your notSTALKER game, its fine, but perhaps GURPS or Delta Green would provide a suitable total package.
>>98223100to add to this, T2000 char gen might get in your way. T2000 is a completely mundane game, so in char gen you are creating someone that simply is a service member in the armed forces. That may or may not be appropriate for what you are going for.

>>98211008Looks like there are 20 books in that photo. I'm also in the U.S. I'm not sure how this sort of stuff is priced. How about, for all those, $140 plus shipping?
