You say the words ‘operation site’, but everyone knows that it just means that you want to get a picnic spot set up on the beach. It definitely sounded cooler in your head than it did when spoken aloud. At least, that’s what you infer from Victoria stifling a giggle and Brady just flat-out laughing. Fitz is...

You can’t feel the same though. Even though you told Victoria to discount fiction tropes as having no merit in real situations, you can’t help the nervous feeling that’s growing in your stomach. You know what they say about calms before storms? Yeah. That’s the moment you’re feeling right now.
At any rate, the four of you manage to find a spot just when the lifeguards declare the beach open. It’s somewhat of a scramble as families and parties rush to find premium spots. None of you could really give a damn if you were close to the water. A nice venue a good...

Is it a That Girl move if she butchers our chaffeur given to us by the first important NPC we met so she could build garments from his bones?
System was V20
I had a female GM once, i was one of the weirdest experiences I've ever had in this hobby. Remember that episode of Dexter's Lab where Dee Dee was a GM? It was just like that. I was just dumbfounded thinking "She can't be serious", "Nah she's just pulling our legs" but she kept going on about talking unicorns and magic crystal castles. It was so, so bizarre.
Do we really need to have one of these every other day? Don't turn it into That Girl General.
Why does GUMSHOE never get talked about on /tg/? I only ever see it brought up when diehard Call of Cthulhu fans get bitchy about Trail of Cthulhu.

Does anyone have download links to any of the Ken Writes About Stuff supplements?
I want to read the Goetia one if you have it.
"Listen, there's something going on. I need you to do me a favor." Axel looks into your eyes. "Can you hide Louise and Charlotte somewhere?"
Great, more brats at the shrine. Cats, at that.
"Like where? Aye don't even know what ye think is after them."
"Just, somewhere!" He waves his hands in the air. "Like.. A ship or something! You're a sailor, right? Just take them out to sea for a few months."

Your HUD beeps to inform you that you’ve reached the appropriate altitude to deploy your parachute. You ignore it. Deploying your chute this early would increase your chances of detection, no matter how slim they are. It would be more prudent to deploy them… now. Just as the warning alert flares, you send the signal to your Omni-Tool to activate the small compartment attached to your back.
White fabric spools out behind you, rapidly slowing your descent, and you flare your Biotics to lower your mass,...

Shrugging off the parachute module, you watch it for a moment to make sure the pre-fabricated device dissolves into Omni-gel and blows away. It wouldn’t do for someone to discover any indication you were ever here. Taking a moment to send a brief confirmation back to the Nakshatra, you quickly hack the maintenance hatch on the building’s roof and enter Port Hanshan.

Navigating the tunnels that snake through the city is not particularly difficult, and you make good time to the main space and airport,...

The Princess Alys/Esther for thirsty /tg/ faggots CYOA Edition

So /tg/, as a player, how do I get my 'spark' back?
Whenever I join games, I tend to barely play attention and have to really use effort to be interested in other people's characters, even my own to an extent. I'm not denying that this makes me an asshole, what I'm saying is I want help.
How do I get myself really invested in tabletop games? How do I give myself that 'spark' of general interest and enthusiasm? That's what a good player should be, and I fail at that. Please help.
I'd suggest really trying to invest and immerse yourself in the setting and characters. Really try to picture it in your mind's eye.
Alternately, try playing stuff from a different genre. Maybe you're just burnt out on [pic related]. I love fantasy but I like muh Cyberpunk from time to time too.
Find a good game.
I burned out as a GM, put 200% into my 'last ditch', I'm currently loving it and planning subsequent campaigns.
You gotta remind yourself of why tabletop is uniquely fun in a world of high definition video games and massive-budget movies.
I feel you OP. The amount of genuinely really good games that I've had to drop because I just can't care anymore is staggering. Are you a depressive OP?
Failing that: branch out. Many people only stick to one system and setting. Or hop between shadowrun and dnd or whatever. Play new things, join new groups. May find one you like.
What's the best place to hide your phylactery?
>>45238717
disguised as a coin, that you hand to a random merchant caravan.
>>45238717
does the phylactery need to be around dead bodies to reanimate if the one your in is destroyed?
i say sink a ship full of people and the phylactery in the ocean
>>45238717
In your safe deposit box at the bank.
What's the consensus on sudden tonal or genre shifts in games?
You're all pirates, sailing the seven seas and looting, suddenly zombies and you're conserving ammo and making desperate food runs. You're police detectives in prohibition Chicago, fighting the crooked system and busting rum runners, you stumble across a cult to The Elder Ones and your lives go down a completely different path.
Is that acceptable? Fun? Should this shit only be done with prior warning to the players, or just prior warning that 'something major is going to change the tone at some point'?
Any stories?
>>45238430
It's acceptable and fun as long as you don't do it in such a way that the players get gimped.
A bad way to do it is like that GURPS game an anon described where the GM said it was medieval fantasy, player took tons of Contacts, GM approved the sheet, then alien kidnapped the party in the first session and the player never got new contacts to replace his old ones.
>>45238430
It's very annoying. I once played in a WoD game, one guy made a hacker/tech support another guy made a vampire with AIDS. An hour into the game "Okay now you're all being sent to ancient Rome in spooky time shenanigans!". Everyone quit there and then. Give warning and make people aware if they're making a character that will completely ruin the game after the twist.
>>45238430
I feel like having characters carry their genre with them lends an air of strange power to otherwise mundane activities and people.
Have you ever been bullied or harrassed for being into tabletop?
Surprisingly no, despite having played it since 1995 and all the way through highschool and college.
Freeform scum have attempted to bully me for playing proper system RPGs, though. I say attempted because I'm not sure if there were words coming out of their mouths. When freeform scum speak, all I hear is farting noises and babies crying.

Once. We played in the school library, and one kid who thought he was thug said we looked gay. We just kind of sat there, staring at him, because we were secure in our sexuality and were not really offended by being called gay. He kept poking at us for a good ten minutes, then realized we were just kind of giving him the stink eye. He got real nervous, and left us alone. Then on the way out, he had for some reason been waiting to see us by the door, and called me a faggot again. I punched him square in the nose,...

Would you read a comic based on WHFB in this style? What aspects of Warhammer would you like to see explored?
>>45238362
Yeah, it looks nice.
I like Beastmen. Write about a border dispute between two of the Empire states, and how the two armies eventually need to join up to defend themselves from marauding beastmen, Yo.
>>45238362
Yeah, it looks nice.
Write about a border feud between two Empire states. Beastmen start ambushing their scouts and supply lines, and eventually the two human armies have to join up to defend themselves.
Put some huge beasts, like Cygors and the others. Also, make one of the protagonists an Amber Wizard.

>What aspects of Warhammer would you like to see
I'd like to see a scan of the C&D letter you get from the IP Gestapo. Be sure and get back with us on that.

Good idea or too tacky?
>>45237232
Will it turn out to be as awful as attaining godhood was in pic related?
>>45237232
If it's their character goal. Otherwise don't do it.
>>45237232
Is it in the realm of possibilities for your game, OP? Make it something that happens when the game ends, not much of a problem then.

Thunder crashes around me, the smell of salt is heavy in the air. The sky is a light amber red, almost like blood left to mix with water. The sea is as black as ink, waves crashing around me in tune with the thunderclaps.
I'm alone, on a ship in the middle of the storm, the only noises coming from the sky and the see. And then wood...
