How to roll dice: "dice+2d6" without the quotes in the email field rolls 2d6. "dice+5d42+23" rolls 5d42+23. "noko+dice+2d6" rolls 2d6 without showing the roll in the email field.In the rules department, you can look at http://www.4chan.org/rules - all global and board specific rules are in full effect. Apart from that, only two rules are important.1. BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER.2. PARTY ON, DUDES. (AND DUDETTES)

>>6795085 question, does it only count as invading when you’re a refugee/migrant? Like if I move to another country did I invade it?
>>67936361>>67936361It's unironically bad but pick it up because it has some interesting challenge tables.
>>67951260Mommy cares only if it's a mosque because Muslims are oppressed. Supporting the eradication of Christendom is okay.
>>67940330Good post, perfect review of the system
>>67951365Ironically, I’ve not met a Christian who hasn’t claimed they weren’t themselves oppressed.
>players stop the Archlich from casting the 15th level Deicide spell, which creates a chain reaction that kills all the followers of a particular god and ultimately that god as well (since they no longer have any faith to support their immortality)>Instead of destroying the city-wide apparatus that's necessary to cast the spell, they decide that they could finish the Archlich's ritual of sacrificing the entire Necropolis in order to fuel their own casting of the Deicide spell>after debating out of character over which god they should kill, they decided that they will hold a formal debate in-character, complete with an impartial arbiter to act as a judge and to ultimately determine which god most deserves to die.>three players will argue for Bane, Tiamat, or Lolth, with the understanding that whoever they decide to kill will also result in the death of all of their followers, while the fourth will both summon and council the celestial judge that will hear their argumentsWhat's the most narratively satisfying conclusion to all this?
>>67949314That's fine. Just none of the "god smites you for your insolence" because that just smacks of terrible writing.
>>67947915It doesn't work. They try it, and it causes massive amounts of destruction. The Archlich's plan was never viable, it's not like you can TEST a Deicide spell. After they barely survive, the representatives of their deities ask them exactly what the fuck they thought they were doing.Man cannot judge the Gods. The Gods will present a united front on this, even when talking about the evil ones they personally despise.
>>67948752>If an archlich can pull the fucking deicide off without getting divinely reamed, why are the players getting divinely reamed?Because the archlich only exists to challenge the players and player character were never meant to have that kind of powerIf you want to talk about strictly in-character sensibility it's fucking stupid that some random dumbasses who have none of the techincal expertise of probably centuries of experience the archlich had, can walk in on a WMD and operate successfully.It stinks of "DM didn't actually think of the logistics behind a 15th level Deicide spell and got caught with his pants down trying to improvise around unexpected player behavior"
>>67951235Considering that the players succeeded in defeating the Archlich, I'd wager they have some pretty powerful and intelligent spellcasters who might know a thing or two about rituals. Hardly what I would call "random dumbasses."
>>67951337Dude who spend a couple of months murdering random shit (or worse; randomly increasing in level because the DM felt like it with milestone leveling) is never going to be even close to matching actual centuries, if not millennia, of experience.For the purposes of most established fantasy settings, players character are pretty much idiot savants. Most established fantasy settings are also dogshit though.>Dieties uncontested for 1000s of years or maybe even since creation get bested by some randoms with less than a humans lifetime worth of effortMore high fantasy kitchen sink settings would be better off with more mysterious and less defined gods, or at least some "mantling" style mechanic that explains that shit.
Last time on GURPS Gen >>67748703What rules do you ignore in GURPS?
>>67947048it is really funthe enemies are complete badasses, we are fighting an angelic rebellion atmand even with 1500 points you dont have everything you want, specially since we started with 200 pts
How would you design a karate master who is good at killing zombies?
>>67950716by giving him a sword and shield and weapon master and at least 17 ST and high skillhand to hand is just not that great
>>67950716Assuming realistic skill and map combat/a GM who cares about reach:Wear something to protect yourself. Get comprehensive coverage.Keep your distance. Zombies can only grapple and bite you in Reach C, while you can kick them at Reach 1. To go faster they have to sacrifice either defenses or accuracy, which gives you plenty of time to strike.If there are a small number of them, cripple first, then stun. Disabling a lower leg or a foot is a lot easier than killing a human being, especially with various forms of undead resiliency. DO NOT GRAPPLE THE ZOMBIE. A throw out of your hex is perfectly acceptable, but if you try to wrench the arm of a zombie he will just grapple you back and bite you.
>>67950559Brass Knuckles are just +1 to punches when you get down to it. Uppercut w/brass knuckles deals (uppercut’s damage)+1.>>67950716Pressure Secrets may work; it doubles injury but doesn’t do so through the impaling type, so it would be great for zombie killing... if the GM agrees that zombies are still susceptible to pressure points. It’s totally within his right to say that zombies don’t care about blocking chi points or whatever seeing as how they’re shambling husks.A “solution” that just sidesteps the issue is to use Bladed Hands from Low-Tech, a cutting/impaling weapon that uses Karate to hit. Dealing sw-2 cut is acceptable but not great on its own, but Word of Kromm says you still get the +2/die from high skill. Since this is swing-based, that’s more dice and more bonus damage. ST 13 for 1d/2d-1 becomes 2d+1 cut with Blased Hands at high Karate skill. That’s 12 final injury on average, well and above punch damage.

Making my first campaign. I'm pretty overwhelmed but I'm making a weird dark age Slavic setting with a starting megadungeon near the settlement but I don't know if it will be enough.
>>67951021Unless your players are going FULL FORCE on the megadungeon idea, they will end up exploring around fairly soon. Get some good encounter tables, a couple location based oneshots, and sketch out a half dozen NPC's, you'll be fine.
>>67951121>location based oneshotsLike a wilderness/city quest? How the hell do I write a good one?

>>67950648>That's the reason it doesn't count, 300 point boxes only come with models and a sheet of shiny paper with some fluff and a couple of lists on it. They're a different thing.If they are different then why does CB call them both "army packs"? For real though Ariadna isn't going to get another army pack soon, especially after the US one and being in Coldfront.
>>67950705>why does CB call them both "army packs"?But they don't, the 300 points ones are called 300 Point Packs right on the front of the box.

>>67951274Right now we are busy discussing the tournament and the addon is in refining process and stuff. I do have a plan to make a build with it
>>67951231Daily uses are reset every matches, we qlready talked about this in some other thread.So it's 12 uses per match, now that sounds a lot more bullshit, right?>>67951193And it is like one every 4 days, not even once a day
>>67951300>>67939412Talking about the addon, isn't spellsword pretty much arcane duelist? Also Master chef feels a bit underwhelming. Maybe if you are more vague about it like ''Can craft Special dishes with various effects of very long duration'' Or something like that. As in something like potions can be more powerful but the special dishes last for way way longer or something
>>67951358Dodge them then? Don't get fucking hit? They can miss and every sword has a different effect. If he misses the vorpal strike with the specific effect it wants to slap you with to execute his 10 step keikaku he is fucked

What are some nice modern / sci-fi games? I'm getting a wee bit tired of fantasy and fantasy derivativea and I could use some straightforward and mundane shit from time to time, with varying degrees of tech shenanigans.Like, what games do you use for your Deus Ex or your John Wick, your Leon the Professional and Stalker?I want to run a game about how my players are a rock band that fights/does crime on the side or whatever.>"I have a modicum of taste and integrity" mode: no GURPS
Genesys could probably fit the bill for your idea. The problem is that it's more of a lego box than an actual system but it's simple enough that you can get the basics moving without much effort.
>>67947339Ops & Tactics
>>67949690This. Genesys is generic, so you can put together whatever setting you like and make it work.
>>67947339>I have a modicum of taste and integrityYup, so I'll be recommending GURPS. High Tech is pretty important, and depending on exactly where you want to go with it you might pull in Action, Survivable Guns, Tactical Shooting, or a genre book or two.
>>67949690>>67951285Alright, I'll check it out. Can you use numerical dice for the outcomes or am I better off trying to get the symbol dice instead?

>>67951224Bah, don't you know? Increases in power are nothing compared to knowledge of the Dao. Doesn't matter how much stronger your enemy is, so long as you "have greater insight" you'll defeat them. Unless their name is Ji Ning, of course, then his latest cheat upgrade will let him win without any tension or sense of struggle. Fear his mysterious and profound swordsmanship as it utterly dominates and crushes you, for he is truly a tiger with wings!

>>67951237Social sciences aren't real sciences.
>>67951391The sword isn't used to forge things, it's used as a material.
Any TRPG's based in Imperial China?
Fucking Feng Shui, how does it work?
>>67951342It's just pseudoscience reasoning, so if you use it for a game and it sounds about right, it probably is.
What the fuck is up with fags who need a different system for every setting
>>67951368There are plenty of TRPG's that use ancient Japan as an inspiration for their setting, but ancient Japan is trash, their culture is garbage, and their people are inferior. Imperial China was the most glorious civilization to have ever graced this Earth, it deserves more TRPGs that show its majesty and beauty.

>>67947595He's literally in the first AP of second edition, assumed to be a reluctant villain.
So apparently the second volume of the AP is out to subscribers. Anyone have it? I've got some questions. Also would love to bug anyone who has the LOWG.(Trying to write up a little setting guide for my players, and need to know some things both cover.)
>>67951115>Anyone have it?has it*
>>67951098Hrm... Not sure how to feel about this. But one of my players is thinking about running Age of Ashes so I might find out soon. Best to avoid possible spoilers.
>>67951011>so some retards assume his name must be collette and therefor a girl.That's not really fair, it's more a simple axiom of internet interaction among people who aren't socially retarded - if a person posts with a female name and doesn't state they are explicitly male, then refer to them as a female.Also what the fuck is a Tales of Symphonia, that sounds like vidya of some kind.Anyway, to me (and opinions vary) 5e was terrible. You're right about the bags of hitpoints, and I was so incredibly underwhelmed in my opening 2 games that I put it away and never touched it again despite spending 2 solid years in the damn playtest and forums. PF1 was too much crunch though. PF2, which TO ME really only has the main flaws any 650 page Tome of Bludgeoning will have on first print, seems to hit the sweet spot. It'll be a year or more before I can say that confidently of course, but it sure looks right.Now who is going to help this poor undead bloodline sorc? Spells look like the weakest link, but I'm not a good optimizer.

>>67947142Someone mod this anon's mother into all Skyrim editions, STAT
>>67947142Would it kill Todd to put at least one in a modern game? They don’t have to be a playable race, just put an NPC in as some flavoring to the world. I could understand if they don’t want to put in some of the sillier races like the Igma, but the Sload are cool and we already have Argonians so the average player wouldn’t have to suspend their disbelief too far compared to if they were confronted with a talking gorilla. Hopefully, if VI is in Hammerfell/Iliac Bay there’s a higher chance of them appearing on the coast or in Stros M’kai.

I am a relatively inexperienced GM looking for some advice. I'm currently running a fallout game on a d100 system. Specifically, I'm looking for advice on how to make a long distance trip interesting without getting my players sidetracked. My players found a quest that will be several days walk from the hub area and they seem keen on completing it. The setting is the East Central Commonwealth (Kentucky/Tennessee/Ohio) with Fort Campbell as the hub and most of the area being based around trade routs for overland caravans. Any advice would be appreciated, including general GM advice.
>>67951264Yeah some times i get too stressed on minute things. I've been trying to work on that. Sometimes I feel the world is too empty though. >>67951246Thanks!
>>67951217>without getting my players sidetrackedhow sidetracked is sidetracked?At the end of the day, if you present anything interesting in the distance, there's a chance the players will drop everything and head off toward it.Desu, I think this tendency should be embraced, but I understand it can be difficultOn the other end, you could just describe there being a few houses on the way, and roll up some salvage for the players and get on with things.Btw, what's your East Central Commonwealth like? If you have some nomadic-ish tribal groups, you could have fires in the distance at night, but if the players investigate the camps have been vacated by the time they get thereAlso, do the players need to worry about rations and supplies? If so, that may keep them focused on the mission, cause side-excursions take time and resources
