not really a fan of "all these are available to everyone" and Psionics plainly saying mind control/reading is possible
Unless "all of these" implies to the 0-3 options I picked, and not all the six options. If the latter, we're cool.I will figuratively suck ya dick if you post Evil cyoa. I finally have time to read it all and write/imagine my plans.
>>48337888
I choose none, because every single option would make the world a worse place than it already is, and gaining a "moderate aptitude" isn't enough to stoke my selfish desires.
I mean, who wants to be in the middle of the food chain in a world filled with mind controllers, for instance? Just enough talent to catch the attention of someone with much more than "moderate aptitude", thanks fucking bunches.
>>48337888
Can someone explain to me why you would play a cyoa like this where everyone is potentially empowered and you only have "moderate aptitude"?Not saying it's necessary to be the strongest but being average is a long, long shot from that. You could barely keep yourself safe in some of those settings.

I'm playing a halfling noble right now, and I'm struggling to come up with a motivation for why he wants to adventure. What I have right now is (I'll give a bit of backstory for clarification)

Is your halfling able to cast magic?
What are his relations with his parents and the first in line to be the head of the family?
Is there something that could disrupt his family's schemes, like a rival noble house?
>>48337413
He is the henpecked husband of an absurdly domineering wife, he ran off to get a couple months away from his woman and hopefully die before she finds him.
It's funny, it's Halfling, it gives the DM a potential NPC.

>He is the henpecked husband of an absurdly domineering wife, he ran off to get a couple months away from his woman and hopefully die before she finds him.
Excellent.
Halflings, especially if they're noble and should be "living the life", have to be reluctant adventurers. Kinda anti-hero but with a brave heart.
It's cliché and it's what Martin Freeman did (pretty well I'd say considering the dire circumstances he was in) but it's great.
I need help with ideas for an adventure about exploring an abandoned starship. Stuff like encounters, challenges, that kind of stuff. Also if you happen to have a deckplan for a huge spaceship it would be helpful too.

You have to limit the scope a little.
Name three themes, or describe the party and their problems, or explain whose ship it used to be.

Why isn't 3d printing that big in the miniatures community? I'm sure you could save a lot of money and encourage games workshop to make their shit cheaper, or even get them to sell the 3d model files so we can print off an army with just a few models... Am I on to something or retarded?
>>48336608
Because most non-commercial 3d printers are shit at printing anything more complicated than a ball bearing and doesn't come out looking like Armstrong's detached balls. Try again in 15 years when the tech catches up to commercialized plastic casting.
>>48336608
The technology will eventually catch up to the demand and prices will drop to commercially-viable levels. We just have to wait until then.
>>48336635
>15 years
Try one or two. Printing technology is constantly improving. The new Carbon printer is the coolest thing I've seen in years, and produces forms way closer to injection molds.

It certainly looks that way.
I mean, Order has more sub-factions than any other Alliance, right? So it sort of makes sense.
That said, I think it'd be more interesting from a narrative perspective if at least one city ends the campaign in the hands of a non-Order Alliance.

>Butthurt Death player detected
/tg/, I have a player who won't stop diving headfirst into suicidal situations. I've played with him and run games that he has been in in the past, and it keeps becoming an issue. If he were building characters with the intent of kamikazeing them that would be one thing, but instead he is making characters, getting invested in them, and then he is unhappy when he gets them killed. I want him to be a happy player, hence I am coming to you.
I've seen him run straight into the pitch blackness of a cavern, a blackness that was spitting salvoes of arrows at...

(cont).
I have tried talking to him about it outside of game. I've brought up tactics that he might use, suggested that he make a more durable character in the future or counterattack enemy close combatants to protect the gunners in the group. He's told me that waiting for the enemy to act is boring, if he's reacting to the enemy he feels like a robot not a player. I've tried to sit down with him and see what he wants, and he always comes back to close-combat powerhouse. I've provided the books to him that he might learn the rules better and pursue...

I had a player like this once. He'd start fights and beg the GM to "give us combat, I have class soon" and all sorts of terrible things. His entire character (tiefling warlock, IIRC) only ever wanted to fight, and he did indeed charge off alone to his death once while the rest of the party fled.This isn't Keywork is it?
Let's confirm then, that asides from the kamikaze behavior, that this player you have is even a good player. The one I had was not.
>>48335360
I'm not sure if I can confirm that he is a good player. He shows up regularly, but is usually pretty quiet. He can engage in party shenanigans from time to time, but he also often just lets everyone else do their thing. He has never sought or asked to have any skills outside of combat, I suggested that he might become a character that could use specialized intelligence based skills to help the party investigate mysteries in ways they weren't able to, and he shrugged it off under the presumption that it...

I just started reading into GURPS recently,and so far it looks pretty damn good.
People on here (outside the GURPS thread) always seem to bitch and say they have played it and it was bad, and then never give any details.
>People who have played it and don't like it:
>What was the problem? Why didn't you like it?
Looking for information about the game that is not biased by being all by the people who like GURPS, and looking to hear legitimate complaints, rather than meme-bitching.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>48335269
I've never played it myself, but I think that it possesses a massive sprawl of mechanics that slows the game down and puts people off.
>>48335481
Yeah, that's what I typically hear from people who have neither played nor read it.
But it has a hell of a lot less mechanics to read than Pathfinder, and tons of people play Pathfinder.
GURPS basically has two core books, and then the GM can include optional mechanics from other books, which are well organized so he can basically do it a book at a time.
If he wants more detailed martial arts? Theres a book he can use to expand the martial arts rules.
If he wants to let people have...

The game itself is solid, but there are some materials for it that are profoundly bad. And if you include past editions you have that one vehicle rules system, which has been a punchline for decades.
Plus people can be put off by the sizeable backlog of books for it. In it's own way it's a barrier for entry, even if most players won't end up reading or thinking about 3/4 of it.
And then of course you have people annoyed with the refrain of 'play GURPS' whenever there's...

>the party must disguise as women using magic to complete their quest
this is an old cliche, but can it be done without it becoming Magical Realm?
for example, the characters must infiltrate an amazon tribe or a matriarchy
>>48335041
>can it be done without it becoming Magical Realm?
Can be done.
Will it be done?
No.
The GM wants to feed his transformation/trap fetish in all likelyhood.
Of course it's magical realm

How would mtg change if all those expensive manabases and format staples

>got banned?
the game would be completely different
>got printed until they were dirt cheap?
mtg would be easy to hop in and out of and thered be a HUGE flux of people playing the game at pretty much every open event and it would actually make the game worse, probably. thats not to say im defending the ridiculous prices of the 2ndary market
>>48335134
>HUGE flux of people playing the game
>it would actually make the game worse, probably.
Really? Having more players would make the game worse? I don't see it.
>>48335134
How is a huge influx of people bad? It would be more players of every format, pre-releases would have more people, it would be easier to trade shit, and easier to build new decks, because you wouldn't need to dismantle your decks because they share mana base.
NPC mage is so Evil my cleric feels sick to be around him.
He constantly talks about bringing evil and inflicting suffer, how he is going to fill the world with demons and feast on billions of souls. How if I stay in his way he will torture and rape me (female character) and force me into a hell dimension to be further tortured in unending agony. He does this while spitting acid for saliva and his face splits open. His eyes cut in half vertically, split open with demonic green eyes emerging between the two half of his split eyeballs. Giant Horns on his head.

Alignments do not change that quickly unless the supernatural is involved, nor is self-preservation and caution anything but unaligned in the first place.
>>48334143
Your DM is far too retarded for any sort of argument to phase him. He clearly set this up as a 'lol your cleric falls' moment.
I would leave the game.
>>48334143
Your DM is That DM. Run, do not walk, away from the game. No game is better than bad game.
The RPG hobby and industry is full of fantasy heartbreakers but what about fantasy heart*warmers*?

Am I retarded or something? I was reading about all the gods and a Lawful Evil cleric just sounds perfect for what Asmodeus represents.
It's good, but if everyone else is a lawful/chaotic good types, then your character has zero reason to hang with em.
Why do you need Asmodeus? I agree that this motherfucker is cool, but save up this concept for a more evil campaign
