Song of Swords is a realistic fantasy tabletop RPG that draws inspiration from historical fechtbuchs, weapons and armor. Its combat system is fast and it can be used for both fantasy and historical/mundane settings.
Call of the Void is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Its combat system is more modern, based in the early 20th century, but can probably handle combat up to the present day.
Here's a .rar archive with the newest version of the rules as well as all related current working documents. At this time the latest version is v1.9.9:

Here's Ballad of the Laser Whales' latest version: https://www.mediafire.com/?rtbjk51jnm2wv8a
Here's a wiki detailing SoS's fantasy setting, getting filled up bit by bit as Jimmy reveals more details:
http://tattered-realms.wikia.com/wiki/Tattered_Realms_Wiki
There's also a roll20 room where new players are encouraged to try the rules, test new rules, and find game breaking issues: https://app.roll20.net/join/346755/hRKd4w
The room might be empty, but the people who teach the game still browse the thread frequently. If you're looking to learn, post here in the thread. We also play Guy Windsor's card game Audatia in the room.

You forgot the new CotV that Jimmy posted
ok so i have heard that some one used Song of swords for a Darks souls campain.
i am planing on running one of those as well and would like advise as well as some pointers on combat rules and how to make them interesting.
i dont know if i'll be free tomorrow for the combat lesson thing.
but i would still like to hear ideas on how to put dark souls magic in the campain.
Jimmy, can you weigh in on anons pet theory(>>44225437)?
>not executing prisoners immediately after you gain something useful from them, then hacking into the bodies to obscure cause of death
Why are you such an unpragmatic adventurer?
>>44231252
>taking prisoners ever
You dishonor yourself.
>>44231292
>not interrogating prisoners for information
Pragmatism, son.
I have no reason to hide my actions because I'm not a murderous asshole.
Tell me about the races in your world, /tg/
>>44229488
At least the one I'm currently working on. World is posthuman postapocalypse. All the inhabitants have been magically mutated for various reasons into three races that still call themselves human, but are different from what humanity used to actually look like. Each one is representative of certain sins or wrongdoings, and while individuals can be decent people, in large groups they tend to be assholes.

Why the fuck would anybody put up with Trolls? They sound like they would be a legitimate reason for a genocide in that setting
>>44229729
Everyone's tried to kill each other, and everyone still hates the stereotypical members of the other two species. Korrigans and Trolls hate Gremlins because they ruin the environment and keep deconstructing and vandalizing everything around them for "science". Trolls and Gremlins hate Korrigans because they're backstabbing traitors and manipulative bastards. Korrigans and Gremlins hate Trolls because they keep ooga-boogaing all their green/red women and are literally behind most of the world's...

>Valnyr awaited their resurrection with excitement. She looked forward to the reunion, eager to hear the voices and thoughts of her guard. Their bonds had been forged in the turbulent days of war against the treacherous and hateful eldar. Those bonds had only been strengthened by conversion as loyalty engrams had rewritten portions of the lychguards’ personality to ensure devotion beyond even that which they had exhibited in their mortality. These lychguard were Valnyr’s wardens,...

Which do you prefer, /tg/? The lizard-like Western dragon or the serpentine Eastern dragon? Or do both coexist in your setting?
Asian Dragon are Demigods or outright Gods. Western Dragons are just Apex Predators to be hunted.
Western
The less talking the better.
>>44212273
...fuck I hate this but it depends on setting.
Both good. I guess I prefer western dragons on the whole, because they work well as both villains and heroes. Eastern ones.. generally stuck as sages and protectors. Have to corrupt them to make them work well as evil.
I miss these threads.

Do you ever spend time working on ideas for setting bits that make you feel somewhat guilty?
Do you ever run with these setting ideas anyway, despite your doubts?
What sort of things have you done outside your comfort zone?

It is a time of great turmoil. With the fall of THE GALACTIC EMPIRE, the galaxy descends into chaos. Anarchy reigns as the remaining GRAND MOFFS squable amongst themselves as well as the recently formed NEW REPUBLIC. However, other forces are at play, and the dark side threatens to consume the galaxy once more.

You cough up disgusting tasting water as you scramble to the surface. It's late at night and very hard to see, but from the sounds, smell, and most definitely taste, you're in a swamp of some kind. Swimming to shore, you plop onto the muddy ground exhausted. You're not sure why, infact, you can't remember anything at all. You have a vague notion of burning, followed by falling, then finally drowning. There is a sharp pain on your right knee and a tingling sensation on your fingertips as you try...

>no game is better than bad game
So /tg/ what happens when I've only played one game because of this because all the people I know who play were in it and they're all that guy?
Is no game for life my destiny?
You're probably That Guy too.
>>44380423
If you think everyone is That Guy, you are probably the actual That Guy.
If you just go play, make an effort to stick to the same game and keep playing, over time (like a year) people will learn to play and the game will be fun.
>>44380702
I'm going to be gming a dark heresy game. First time. What's your suggestions on being a good gm and to handle asinine requests?
What does /tg/ think about infighting between players? Whether it's the players moralities or some affliction that may turn a player? Does it even happen?
>>44380027
It depends on the group. If everyone is on the same page, and it doesn't bleed over into the real world it can be fulfilling. Most people can't handle this though. If you've got a good group, and it can make sense go for it, if not avoid it.
It can, and has for my group, turn into a better story than the DM intended.
>>44380088
Maybe you can answer this for me: Why do players get so attached to their characters?
I want to ask to be a part of some of the games at the comic book store near my house, but I'm kind of afraid that some ideas like this might get me laughed out. I don't want to cause shit flinging I just think its kind of interesting. Idk how to avoid being "that guy" though.
