What does /tg/ look for in generic game systems?
generic play value
Support and tons of fan content for my favorite settings because I'm fucking lazy. That's why I love savage worlds.
A place where I can set it down and go pick up an interesting game instead.
What class is THE iconic dungeon crawling fantasy RPG adventuring murderhobo? What are their other character traits?Pic pretty, but not necessarily related, since I think being penniless and homeless is actually part of the deal. This guy looks like he's actually got a position in society.
>>44105928
Sword user. That much is definite.
Honestly, I'd say something like Magus. Sword and Spell together.
Japan loves it's magic swordsmen in their draconic questings, and the West likes their sword in one hand and fireball in the other in their Elderly Scrollings.
Plus from a purely practical standpoint you wouldn't want to overspecialise in something like dungeon delving. Every role should be able to be filled by another. Lose a healer, or tank, or arcanist, you should have a backup.
The Fighter.
Preferably a Young Male of Human or some kind of Elf related origin.
He has no remarkable traits or special abilities except his outstanding braveness and strength/cleverness.
He is often aided by (but does in seldom cases primarily depends on) Magic Artifacts or Companions, that he aquired through his said braveness, strength/cleverness.

Hmm, Young, plucky. Short bown hair, leather armor with an iron/steel cuirass. Sword and buckler, Dagger on thigh, rope/lantern on the hip.
Would /tg/ think this is a good idea?
I think it's pretty cool, and there is no reason why, with their technology, they couldn't have developed AT LEAST matchlocks. They're pretty basic. I don't mean exactly romans, but some fantasy dudes with the same tech as them and all of the ancient world.
The only problem I see is that I think matchlock weapons were actually useful at their time, because of the armor advancements. The only way to kill a knight at the time would be to make him fall to the ground and then putting a sharp point through his...

We all know that in blood bowl universe, blood bowl has compeletely replaced wars.That means lots of resources and manpower that were previously dedicated to war is now free. Then i realized that i was missing a much bigger point. Old World in Blood Bowl universe has TELEVISION. True, cabalvision maybe a bit different from the normal television, what with whole thing being more magic oriented and there being a chance for accidental Daemon summoning in case of a malfunction but otherwise it fulfills all the function a TV does. So i asked myself, what about other TV shows? So...

Possible? Sure. Doesn't seem likely though. In 40k, there is only war. In Blood Bowl, there is only Blood Bowl. That would imply to me that most people spend extensive periods of time training to join teams.
There may be some shows for those whom, for whatever reason, are incapable of playing but they'd probably be Blood Bowl related...

They could at best release specialist games and support sporadically "collector" "historical" models
They don't want the old world, they want something that can be milked with continuous additions and stories
Rules for battles set in the old world, or massive fantasy battles in general, could get done only when they realize they incentive sales as long as they are willing to spend resources into testing and a creative team, which doesn't seem to be present...

Chaos warriors are not superhuman
Let's face it, most of the stuff you'd find after society crashes won't look as nice as it does in Fallout. And there's a lot more to survival than guns and armor.

Sup, /tg/. I made an alien creation for a tabletop game (best suited for Pathfinder and/or D&D 3.5). However, the DM seems to think my creation has extra powers and skills based on the number of eyes it has. This is not the case, as when I made this species of aliens, I simply gave them three eyes, no nose (but it has nose slits), three toes, and three fingers. Pretty much an aberration with no darkvision and nothing else (it might as well be a mutated human).
The DM said it feels like they'd have a bonus to Perception (or Spot in D&D), but I told him they're identical to humans without the extra feat and skill point; the eyes (as well as the three toes and three fingers and slit nose) are just ascetic.
Am I missing something? Do creatures with more than two eyes get a bonus? Or am I in the right?
Pic related (original content by the way, I made it earlier this year)
>>44104912
By default, a third eye wouldn't give much of a bonus. Two eyes give you depth perception by letting you see things from more than one point of reference; a third wouldn't do much that the first two couldn't.
That said, if the only differences are aesthetic, then there's not much point in making an alien race, is there? Besides, why would it evolve three eyes in the first place if they didn't give it any advantage?
>>44104955
>why would it evolve three eyes in the first place if they didn't give it any advantage?
For the same reason plenty of things happen evolutionary.
All vertebrates on Earth have two eyes, four limbs, and at most seven natural digits on each limb.
This is because our earliest common ancestor was built this way, and not enough change has yet resulted to have alternatives crop up.

Maybe they used to peek from underneath water with it or something like that in the past? Maybe it's a sexual selection thing like a peacock's tail.

Say I wanted to create a minigame/subsystem entirely for jousting, for a game which would revolve around knights (I looked up Pendragon, surprisingly they haven't got something quite like this). Any of you history buffs got advice for what kinds of details would be needing attention in order to truly capture the feeling of jousting in dice rolls?
Warhammer Fantasy used to have a minigame based on jousting called 'Joust!'. Maybe check that out for help.
>>44104692
Was it a miniature game? I'm not looking for miniature type rules, I need something that would mechanically reflect the nuances or "feeling" of the sport through the gameplay. Like how Deadlands uses poker-like mechanics in some places because poker is Wild West relevant and symbolizes the escalating tension of Western films, etc.
>>44104665
Factors and actions that affect the outcome of a joust and might be turned into rules or skills:
Quality of the horse. How fast does it reach a full gallop, how steady is it's gait, how calm is it?
Quality of the Knight: Horsemanship and experience is a huge part of this, how good is he at making the horse start moving or change it's speed before the moment of impact (maybe make someone misjudge their aim, you're not going completely straight at each other after all, you are both "off...

I want to make a primarily scions army. What would be some good allies to supplement my army?
>>44104649
Depends on the style youd like to go for.
Inquisitors offer psyker support and are almost entirely Elites, guards offer prime heavy support but their elites ARE scions, marines have good units in most slots so can fill in gaps, same with SoB who have good heavy and elites but fall behind on troops and long range AT.
Sup fat guys and cat girls. I need some advice and ideas from all of you GMs out there.
So i'm going to GM a 5e game for some friends and I loads of experience and even a setting in which I generally run my games. The thing is, that setting never quite got to be the way I wanted it to.
I like high fantasy, but the way spells are treated in D&D makes magic pretty trivial and boring to me. A different spell from whatever school of magic for literally any situation is almost always at hand, stuff like locked doors, big cliffs and even death to an extent...
