My skype is oreal[dot]platine, pls respond
How do you handle crafting in your groups, /tg/? Is it just for fixing and or upgrading bought items or can it be used to make items from scrap too?
For example, the dev mentioned on the German forums that scrappers can make ammo for their weapons, but it's nowhere in the rules.
AlsoWhat do you think is the signal that chernobog is aiming for?
>>45226103
Doesn't work for my schedule, but I sent a friend of mine your way.
Why are Spitalians best?
I just got the books for the tits.
>>45226253
Thank you anon. And to answer your question, it's because they're the more likely to survive in the long run.
>>45226272
Didn't they fucking annihilate an entire community of Apocalyptics for selling Burn in the Protectorate?
>>45226272
Pretty much, yeah.
Spitalians > Chroniclers/Hellvetics/Anabaptists > Judges/Scrappers > Jehammedans/Apocalyptics > Palers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Afrikults > Clanners
Accurate?
>>45226325
Judges are the meme lawful retard faction, switch them around with Palers and you got it right.
Palers are fugly and nobody will ever play them but theyprotect the Sleepers which are the only hope of rebuilding humanity
Palers are best, Spitalians are bitches.
Bump for hairless waifus and husbandos
>>45226325
Too bad the Spits are too retarded to wear armor.
>>45226103
how long do you plan on making the sessions go on ?
>>45228382
Four hours last I heard.
An Anabaptist bump.
>>45228382
More or less 4 hours, yes
>>45226304
Yes, because degenerates selling drugs that destroy ones humanity should not be permitted to survive
Numenera is the better degenesis
>>45226325
>implying glorious anubian bioreactors aren't reaching posthumanity in Cairo RIGHT NOW
>>45233394
Tell them my ebon brother
>>45233394
You can't be posthuman if you're not human in the first place :^)
>>45226350
But as a GM having a Judge player leaves sooo many open opportunities. If they are playing the Lawful lawful guy you can through typical stuff, but i have a player who is playing Lawful fuck you. I can say its gold character interaction.
>>45232099
Numenera is one of the shittiest settings that come out in the last few years.
Sleepers would make a pretty good faction.
>>45233662
anything in the later chapters of the katharsys book would make a better faction than the standard ones
I want to be a post-apocalyptic immortal nanolich. How many sleepers do I have to kill to acquire ambrosia special ability?
>>45233701
You must be compatible first
>>45233701
Just join the glorious Arianoi, and follow the true way of Jehammed.
>>45233746
How? What makes marauders compatible?
Is that those pre-eschaton healing machines that transform you into a nigger if they're not configured correctly?
>>45233701
I wish there was rules for that
>>45233767
I'm pretty sure it states something in the fluff about being compatible. But most likely, I guess the people who could most likely become marauders would be the Anubians
>>45226564
What.
>>45233662
Is it possible to run a campaign where you play as a Sleeper, or have they all been driven insane by their indoctrination?
>>45234168
sleepers arent statted anywhere because the devs hate fun
>>45228085
I kind of messed up the hairless part.
I requested this before I knew that ALL Spitalians shave their heads.
If I can find a drawthread which isn't already at 300+ requests I'll request an Anabaptist version of Saber.
>>45234208
please kindly take your autism elsewhere, thanks.
>>45234192
Or because the Devs want to produce more sourcebooks to get more of your money.
>>45234248
They are German, they hate player's having fun. Don't expect to ever get answers about RG and the sleepers, you will be a barbarian fighting for scrap forever.
>>45234222
>>45234295
German? I thought they were Polish!
I guess the name SixMoreVodka is kind of confusing.
>>45234515
>The most civilized European region happens to be historically Germanic
>Three of the best cults also happen to base themselves in that area
>Poland is a wasteland of snow and shit
Nah, bro. They German as fuck.
>>45234295
Honestly, it's better this way.
The clear answer is interesting for a few seconds after it's revealed. A mystery is interesting all the way through.
Plots like "Getrell is on his orbital facility in cryostasis, waiting for 10th cascade to happen to conquer Earth" or "Getrell died right after the Eschaton and his plan is proceeding without him and without purpose" will get old right after being revealed. I think players and characters should never know those things for sure.
>>45225952
I appologize in advance for my ignorance, my copy is still in the mail, but couldn't you slightly modify the Helvetic background to make PC sleepers?
Or is there more to it?
I ask because PC sleepers seem like the most logical way to introduce this game and setting to a new group. The game world is just as new to their characters as it is to the player.
>>45234678
Nah it just means no GM will ever touch these topics, which make degenesis interesting in the first place.
>>45234726
Dpends on the GM. There are plenty of hints in the books, so players might even come up with the answer that would make GM just go with it.
>>45234722
In my opinion it's really not the same thing.
Hellvetics' creed is learned, they are taught the value of duty by their peers, their obsession over doctrine is entirely self-aware.
Sleepers are literally programmed to set up a new world order, if you were to respect the fluff it wouldn't leave the players much agency.
>>45234722
yeah I suppose it's doable, just be aware that sleepers could have access to some very advanced tech (which of course could have broken down). There's also the issue of sleepers basically being indoctrinated to do certain tasks for some secret plan of the RG group, but this too could have been broken down, since in the fluff there's mentions of renegade sleepers.
>>45234722
Sleepers are goddamn killing machines. That would break the game.
Fluff-wise, there are sleepers who break out from their meme conditioning, but come on, introducing a character with 10 dice in everything to the group of regular characters would be disastrous. Maybe as a plot device for a late-game party or something.
>>45234811
No one said that they would use the same stats as the sleeper enemy stats. Character gen could be just normal.
>>45234841
They wouldn't be Sleepers, then.
>>45234811
Sleepers are not much better than helvetics.
>>45234859
If they woke up from cryo they would be sleepers, no matter what stats they got on their sheets.
>>45234841
Why would the character be a sleeper then? That's their whole gist, being nanite-powered supersoldiers from the old world with an agenda.
You could probably try to make a sleeper from malfunctioning cryopod. Just add regeneration potential instead of ususal stuff, and make a story about character slowly regaining his power and memory.
>>45234872
M8, just look at their goddamn stats. 10 dice. 10. dice.
>>45234898
Not all sleepers are the same, you got the frozen killing machines, yes, but sleepers have subtypes. The stats listed are for sleepers as enemies, not PCs.
And if you read the fluff then you'd know that the cryo pods housed regular, normal people before RG decided to go ahead with their world domination plan. A very popular theory is that some of the marauders were originally those people thrown out by RG.
>>45234775
>>45234797
>>45234811
>>45234859
I suppose you could introduce "civilian" cryopods.
People who were supposed to inhabit this new world order after the Sleepers subjugated everything.
They could be just normal, not the same nanotech killing machines as actual Sleepers.
>>45234984
Well, most of the named marauders are former RG members or other talented pre-war scientists.
But yeah, frozen civilians are a possibility. Good luck meeting good honest people who could explain everything that happened though. It's not Fallout 4.
>>45235021
What war?
I think the only one who thinks about fallout here is you.
>>45235068
Yeah, that was an interesting slip.You can technically consider african uprising after HIVE infection a war though.
>>45225952
Is it just me, or does the Degenesis logo look suspiciously like a swastika.
>>45235737
We were over this before. Look up the archives, there's an explanation what different factions' logos mean.
And yeah, this is a solar symbol, and swastika is a solar symbol too, so naturally they look almost the same.
Anyone got any good stories of them running sessions yet? I am currently running one and am looking for inspiration!
>>45237476
Have you read In Thy Blood?
>>45237532
Not him, but that book was super railroaded at times. I mean, if you take all those descriptions as examples of actions (like dodge, hide, sneak attack etc.) it's a pretty good guide for the GM. But if you follow the book literally, it reads like a CYOA with very few actual choices. Especially the last confrontation that is essentially "roll several tough rolls or die".
>>45237532
Bought a copy but hasn't arrived yet. Do you have a PDF ?
>>45239673
it's in the OP
>>45239673
Help, I can't stop watching the "Sacrifice Everything" trailer!
Is the english version of rebirth out yet? Anyone got it in pdf?
>>45242318
Anon, it's the first link in the OP.
>>45242647
I cant get the link to work, im probably majorly retarded, but it when i put it after mega.nz i just doesnt go anywhere.
>>45243625
https://mega.nz/#F!aI0XgD4b!yiLu68SfGjdm6RPaI2HHbg
There you go, anon
>>45243668
Thank you anon.
Haven't even looked at the books yet but I've got a question.
What's the learning curve like on this? Seems pretty cool, but I just want to know how much of an undertaking it will be.
>>45243900
The rules are easy as fuck and character creation shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes.
The setting has extremely heavy and interesting lore, but every single region of the world (there are 7) has its own culture/enemies/threats, so depending on the campaign you do there's not much you need to know.
>>45243900
You will have to read about 100 pages of setting lore. Half of those is wonderful art and the rest is well written. But the world is complex - for the GM. For the players it can be as simple or complex as desired. They could be bums who know nothing, finding out is always part of this game.
>>45244028
>>45244093
Thanks very much, Anons. Sounds like a blast.
Show us your degenesis character /tg/, what would you play?
