Blackjack and Hookers EditionWelcome to /wbg/, the official thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art (either created by you or used as inspiration for your work). Please remember that discussion is what keeps the thread alive, not dumping walls of text.Previous thread: https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/81380513/#81380513Resources for Newfags: https://sites.google.com/view/wbgeneral/Worldbuilding links: https://pastebin.com/JNnj79S5https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/Eo+fK41FKVR7xDpbNO0a0N4k0YYxrmyrhX3VxnM14Ew/>What are the most prominent vices in your setting?>Can you name any famous locations for entertainment, of any sort? What would PC be expected to blow their money on?>How difficult is it to start a new establishment, accounting for taxes, safety hazards, regulations, and so forth...?
>>81848737also, while you tell me that, >>81846687 how does this concept sound? The idea that you have to commit to different schools of magic before casting and it costs a resource in terms of physicality, but that you can get that resource back later, being a sort of mid term commitment to a 'style'
>>81848824>Btw, how does reincarnation work?idk, but the "get fucked in the next life" might work well with the idea that heroes and other extraordinary people get to escape the cycle and live forever as saints/legendary spirits or whatever.>>81846687I'm gonna be honest and say I don't really get what you mean. are the "classes" essentially magical or technical skillsets? and what does it mean to expend (and recover) class points?I'm not sure I would say it's too convoluted, but it does sound very abstract which may or may not be a good thing depending on what you're aiming for.
>>81849311Think about it then, why you want reincarnation in your story and what the thematic meaning of it being there is, even for tabletop the background lore helpsAs for my system, the idea is this: let's say... One guy had 3/3 points, another guy had 7/7. Both of these people are of the same level so they have the same sturdiness in their 'aura,' but if they both spend 1 point, the first guy loses a whole 33% of the extra defense his aura can provide him. In exchange, he might be able to access a school of skills or magic for a whileI'm still working it out, but the concept is that I don't want the characters being able to do 'anything' even if they have learnt those things, at least not without planning. A master mage in all the schools would need to have grown to develop a lot of points (it's partly genetic too, you can be really strong with just 2-3 points and fight like Rock Lee or something), if he wanted to use 3-4 of his say 11 or so mastered magic types without passing out or dying when sneezed on. (I might have it affect your body if you go below 25% of your points)I'm not sure and it might sound dumb and annoying as a reader and in that case I can scrap or rework it
>>81849311And yes, more or less. I have a really well thought out hard magic system regarding how they cultivate an energy source around them for everything from martial arts to manipulating spells, but I also want the characters to be able to fight in ways they befit their style rather than be reduced to firing blasts from afar. I don't want this to be like Naruto where everyone fights in patently bizarre and illogical ways like a bunch of CPUs made to fight it out on easy difficulty (see: Sasuke not using half of his skill set vs Ishiki). Part of why the idea might translate ok to tabletop and why I asked here, besides that I don't want to go to r/worldbuilding (fuck reddit), since tabletop has players who are playing with risk and reward in mind and not just hamming it up for plot reasonsMaybe that makes more sense
>>81849311oof, well I'll add this: you just expend the points when you use a skill, but other skills from that group (say other Dark Mage skills other than the one you might hypothetically use) won't use other points. Also, the block of points you expend or point you expend on a skill is linked to the class itself, so recovering it means you have to spend it again to use that class again.Yeah that's about it.
Rolled 1, 3, 2, 6 = 12 (4d6)>***Announcements*** Work on Expansion 3 is continuing Currently the weapons and suits are finished. Next is shields, accessories, and consumables. Once thats done, Godforged Regalia are next, many of which could only be found in the item compendium, so please wait warmly for thoseKamigakari is an episodic JTRPG with an emphasis on cool, high-powered adventures, designed around unraveling the mystery of and bringing down the powerful entities known as False Gods or Aramitama. KGK is a grid-based game that uses a D6 system, with a resource pool called Spirit Dice used to fuel abilities and modify the outcome of rolls. Players also have access to a finite, but powerful, resource called "Spirit crest" that's used to activate several special abilities that can turn the tides in their favor, At their own risk. The narrative style is either regimented or mostly freeform, depending on how strictly you follow scene rules, but doesn't place many limits on what kind of story you can run.Core Book, expansions, and related materials download:>Current Download files: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/24sv9v7sbakfz/KamigakariExpansions, SD/UD, and related materials and guides:>https://pastebin.com/u/HomebrewAnon>https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xwliQK_heNp1ra0nqBc95Na7M_xefdMh?usp=sharingFull Item Compendium document sheet (Contains everything from core to expansion 8)>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nak0NJPy9o4f5Zmd6LXwsM_9_3iYtlHjCNZaCI2qSHc/edit?usp=sharingComment too long.

>>81848986I'll be Unga-Bungaing a "Review Thing" on the game in a week or two if things go right if that counts.I have a bit of a backlog, but it's there.
>>81849665well, thats in the future rather than the past so its not what i asked about, but hey, its something.
Im trying to write up a game for my friends that will take place in South America, mostly since all of us are from there, are there any suplemente i could read on that can help me out?
>>81845830Depends on the edition. As a self-certified Modern Shadowrun Specialist, I feel egotistical enough to pose my opinions as facts. From most recent to least:In 6e, the best weapon in Shadowrun is Grenades and Mages. Guns fucking suck, an assault cannon statistically doesn't even knock a literal baby unconscious the vast majority of the time, let alone kill them. Yet for some reason, in this awful edition where they cut damage universally in half and deleted armor, Grenades are still thumbnukes. They were already strong in 4e and 5e, and yet they got BETTER, relatively. Mages also got access to Amp Up, which lets you boost a Fireball a literally uncapped amount, letting you nuke a city if you really feel like it. Sure, it'll kill you, but even a lesser amount of Amp Up is enough to end a fight without risking falling unconscious. In 5e and 4e, it's generally the same, but with a slight difference. To start with, anything that fires off explosives will always be overpowered as hell. No edition has good rules for dealing with them. Toxins, as well, are obnoxiously overpowered, making any full auto gun with Narcoject DMSO Capsule Rounds the best, but those are pure cheese and you will incite an arms race with your GM if you abuse them. What you really care about in a GUN depends on the situation you use it for, but for 5e only, you always care about a serviceable accuracy stat (5 or more before mods, generally). Whether you're trying to bring something you can conceal or go Nuclear, you absolutely want to maximize your firerate and have a mag capacity high enough to slap out a few of your biggest sprays. Moddability matters a ton, as well.In fact, that's the most important part of any weapons--Unique mods and anomalous stats. I'll continue this in a second post.
>>81840339Anon that's is just the US
>>81849917>esl copego have a barefoot machete fight on liveleak monkey
>>81849883The Alpha remains the Golden Boy of big-fuck-you-guns for many players, mainly because it's available at chargen, has a built-in grenade launcher, and has a uniquely very high base RC stat. The Yahama Raiden beats it in terms of raw stats of the gun itself, because of an extremely unique attachment setup that lets you jam basically every attachment you could ever want on it. You can hit high enough RC to spray full autos at no penalty with only 7 str, which is unmatched by basically every other gun that does as much damage.For a concealable option, you generally care about similar things. Uniquely concealable guns end up king for that, but if you don't care about bypassing metal detectors and just want something as a jacket piece, no gun comes close to the Walther P118, a unique machine pistol from the SotA ADL book in 5e. Full auto, high ammo capacity, uniquely high RC stats, amazing base attachment loadout. It's just got everything. Automatics weapons (Machine Pistols up to Assault Rifles) are always preferrable, because they use the same stat. It's an unprecedented amount of skill point efficiency.For 4e, the "fire rate is king" maxim gets even more pronounced, because you have the option of EITHER -X defense, OR +X DV, meaning a machine pistol firing Full Auto potentially becomes nearly undodgeable OR a nuclear bomb that does more damage than an assault cannon.So, basically, what makes a gun is unique attachments, unique stats, and being able to shit out the highest quantity of bullets with the least penalties. Pistols and Sporting Rifles languish.
>>81849930Liveleak doesn't exist anymore, retard
Why does almost every 5e westmarch server use Mercers guns when the setting has firearms...they're the most shallow fucking guns I've ever seen and somehow worse than a crossbow...and did you guys ever experienced this too? I've seen better homebrew on guns than what Mercer did.also yes I did play other games that DnD how fuck off.
>>81840507>DnD>not medieval fantasyHave I failed to understand something here?>>81840202If I wanted to play with guns and friends I'd just take my shotgun down to the ol rock pit.
>>81825833>obviously a hammerIt's a warpick. Warhammers are the studded leather armor of weapons - they simply didn't exist. A warhammer is just a warpick backwards with the counterweight being used to hit with, which did happen but wasn't their main purpose.It's like if people looked at illustrations of knights striking their enemies with the pommels or hilts of their swords and instead of being reasonable and assuming that they were simply using their swords in an unusual fashion, the knights were in fact wielding a new type of weapon called the BLADEMACE, which had a blade instead of a haft.
>>81830384Gygax allowed cowboys at his D&D game, so your objection is overruled.
>>81848785In the late medieval and early pike and shot era the lance was often replaced with a pistol for both light and heavy cavalry because it turns out a pistol has longer range than a lance and is often more powerful and you're more likely to be able to use it again after you've charged once.Infantry and cavalry firearms ultimately killed heavy cavalry and light cavalry were rearmed with swords as their primary weapons to make it easier to attack infantry formations.
>>81849844Poleaxes would also often have similar blunt force inflicting parts, although a lot of treatises emphasised using the threat of them to feint into a lunge with the points rather than committing to the swing.

>>81842459Why would he make the phylactery so easy to get, the whole point of a dracolich is that killing it doesn’t do shit until you find it. If he wanted it to be a persistent threat then he should have made that harder to find.

Have you ever wanted to try out or play as a beastfolk race at some point but refused to because you are afraid of being called a furry or furfag?Like, maybe you had concepts involving rat or bear people, but had to scrap it over peer pressure or alienating your friends over the slight association of furry?this thread is not to accuse you of being furry or to draw out furries. its about discussing the sort of concepts that may have been scrapped because of the furry accusation, or at least when furfags were a problem on 4chan years ago.since furries are not much of a problem on 4chan like they used to be, its safe to discuss here. or at least to my knowledge.
One time wanted to make a Chaotic Stupid lolzy Tabaxi Wild magic Sorcerer to be the comic relief but never had a chance toI like cats IRL and catgirls is where I would draw the line just ears and tail with playful personality
>>81849561If your solution to fixing a problem is putting an anime spin on it you're probably retarded and likely also play gacha games
I'm starting a Traveller game soon, and my players won't even LOOK at the aliens because "furries lol". It's a bit frustrating, since the Aslan will have a major role in the game and having a nonhuman in the party could really open up lots of new opportunities. I wish they could get over their idiotic prejudice.

In terms of recursion, what is the difference between "put" and "return"?
>>81848479>From MTG Salvation:"Put" is the wording used to indicate that one or more cards will be transferred from one zone to another, but only when the zone change could or does result in an exchange of control of the card(s). This is true of all "put" effects, not just creatures from graveyard to battlefield."Return" is the wording used to indicate that one or more cards will be transferred from one zone to another, but only when the zone change doesn't and can't result in an exchange of control of the card(s). This is true of all "return" effects, not just creatures from graveyards.But even this is a general rule. Things like Curfew and Upheaval have me vexed (for now). It seems to be tied to ownership. I'm looking into it.When it comes to "return" cards like Curfew, Upheaval, and Hurkyl's Recall, SecretInfiltrator's idea of return (above) is correct. The effect is making a flavorful assumption that the card is going back to the zone from whence it came. Whether or not it actually came from that zone is another story.Also, "return" only deals with returning cards from graveyard to owner's hand, from graveyard to owner's control on battlefield, from battlefield to owner's hand, and in one case, from stack to owner's hand.
>>81848479When there's no possibility of the card changing hands (in physical literal sense), you use "return".
How do I kill the Lady of Pain?
>>81834220You winHooray, we’re done with Planescape
>>81849049Planescape is great it's Sigil that is impossible to DM correctly and that's all you'd have to get rid of if you got rid of the Lady.
>>81833999Shoot it until it dies.
>>81844414Reminder that, prior to this, there had been the incredibly terrible adventure collection 'Dead Gods', in which Orcus is trying and failing to come to life while your PCs stumble through the planes with almost zero idea what the fuck is going on.At the climax of the campaign, they are rushing forward to stop Orcus's last priest from resurrecting him when, suddenly, they are teleported to Sigil - they are too late, and they watch Orcus, now alive, toss down the Lady's broken body.It is, of course, an illusion. And the game text makes it very, very clear that, OBVIOUSLY, your PCs should be able to realize it's an illusion because NOBODY could ever hurt the Lady of Pain.Seriously. The climax of the campaign hinges on the PCs remembering that the Lady is so super-awesome that she's the bestest in the Multiverse.Which is why I find DVD to be fucking hilarious. The climax of the 90s, a decade that seemed to be all about making the worst adventures ever written. And it seems to boil down to adventure writers shouting:'I killed her!''No you didn't!''Nuh-uh!!''Yuh-huh!!!'
>>81833999State her. Someone will find a way to kick her ass after that.

>>81849509There is exactly ONE system that would do thatAlso, unlike that system, you don't have to use the aspects of the system you don't want to in GURPS.
>>81848906It's reverse.Fargo realised they aren't given GURPS for free, but will have to pay a license fee. So he started to deliberately argue with SJGames, and eventually with Jackson himself, solely to make THEM break the deal. Then he realised he still has to put something into the game, so he cobbled together SPECIAL with his team.Essentially the whole clusterfuck happened solely because Fargo didn't want to pay a flat fee of 10k.
