What is Nechronica? It's a Japanese RPG where the players are undead little girls in a world that somehow went to hell. To help them survive, they have either guns, cybernetic enhancements, or horrendous mutations. They also have the emotion bonds with their sisters, the other player characters, which will be strained to the point where self-mutilation and other such things become common.
Instead of health points, characters get parts blown off their body in combat, gradually wearing them down till they're a leg, or a gun or just a mouth. Combined with a timing system that makes heavy use of counter play, it offers a unique combat system that would be hard to replicate in other settings.

I'm gonna bump the thread, just because it's fun to hear people(who've played) talk about this game...
I will also bump, becauso some Dnonymous said he would update the pdf, and I expect deliverance.
I will bump too, because I like non-standard rpgs. Plus excellent battlefield system.
What's so edgy about pathfinder? I keep hearing people say that it has lots of edgy stuff, but all I know about it is that it's the system for 3.5 grognards and nothing else.
It's got Social Justice quotas it needs to meet with each adventure, and all in all is actually a worse version of 3.5, but with some shiny abilities given to the PCs to attract more players.
If it weren't for the debacle that was 4e, PF would have died before it was even born.
>>44986923
But is it edgy?
OP: Okay. I have 3-4 to spare so lets play a little.
We left off really pissing of the Svejas, killing of a Lion of the Emperor, de-facto declaring war. Now war is immidient, but it will take some time before Svejas understand that the convoy will not come back. So make the best of it.

Lets start with sending scout to the pass so we know when they are coming
>>44986689
improve defense
You send scouts to know about the pass. It is a impressive fortress covering the whole pass, making it impossible to get past it without being noticed. It is made of mountainstone and has big steel gate that can be opened and closed manually. To attack it you will need something special. Your scouts makes camp. When Svejas march from the fortress you will have an additional turn before arriving at either Ferris or Destiny Landing.

What do people actually like about the standard Elf/Dwarf/Human/Orc/Etc line-up? I've searched for answers, but have yet to find anything tangible in terms of what people feel they get out of it. Is it just familiarity, or is there some other advantage that I can't/don't grasp?
>>44985671
We can fuck halflings and its perfectly legal.
>>44985671
It's pretty much familiarity. Less time needs to be spent explaining what the races are, so the game can move on to what they do.
Though I usually abandon the standard set in homebrewsand humans, there's nothing bad about it.
>>44985671
Yes it is advantage. Different races, different stats. And that's that. Even if you're not a minmaxer, you're probably choose a race based on the stats they give or the advantages and benefits they get implied or not.
it's like every white wolf game. 90% of players choose their clan/tribe/whateverthefucktheyarecalled based on the powers they'll get and advantages that will be provided.
Roleplay be damned.
So I just remembered this existed, it's some old Anti-D&D propaganda, looking back on it now the characters actually just really hardcore LARPers
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0046/0046_01.asp
You're a Cave Hydra, big and mighty, and after an encounter with particularly oversized Grick, you found yourself in need to recuperate your wounds, which healed within expectations. And after munching down your preserved Bear, you decided to go on a patrol around the Glowing Forest and then around the Dwarven Village.
The forest was clear, as clear as a Forest can be. None tried to question your authority over your territory, save for a single Cave Bear, but you took the threat of stepping over your lawn with a grain of salt. They're very cocky and more often than not, they just search a fight, which you aren't looking for at the moment.
The Dwarven Nest however, is a different manner all together and requires a bit of more precise handling. You've already shown yourself there and the dwarves are most likely confused by your doings, you doubt that they get to see a towering Hydra returning something to them all that often.

When it comes to post-apocalypse campaigns, how important do you find the issue of religion?
Recently within my group, one of the other players wanted to run a game to test out his game mastery skills. After three sessions, we as a group started discussing the pros and cons of his style, which led to us discovering he doesn't care for religion and prefers to avoid talking about it.
This came up because it was asked how he intended to develop a cult he mentioned once.
While I respect his decision to exclude religion from his games, the issue did make me wonder in general how people prefer to handle, or not handle, such a massive part of human nature.
So when you GM do you gloss over religion in your worlds or does it shape those worlds, or something in between?
>>44985089
>When it comes to post-apocalypse campaigns, how important do you find the issue of religion?
Depends on the setting.
>>44985089
>While I respect his decision to exclude religion from his games...
Lolwhat? Excluding religion from fiction, why? I get that it's not something that people might be super into but it's a pretty big theme to just throw out.
Also, post-apocalyptic settings are pretty perfect breeding grounds for strange cults and faiths. History teaches us what happens when everything gets wrecked and someone shows up and says he's pals with god.
>>44985089
>So when you GM do you gloss over religion in your worlds or does it shape those worlds, or something in between?
It's part of world building so it shapes the world like:>Elves are anathema for being demonic whores of seduction

This is...
“Familiar” is the word that first springs to mind, the word you want to use before any other. Yet, you know it's not exactly the right word to use. Even so, you know that you've seen this macabre statue before, with its leering face and monstrous body. Actually, there is one bit of the statue that you've definitely seen before, in museum pieces and biology textbooks – the twisted human skull it wears as a face. The rest of it - the silhouette of a charging bull, the cloven hooves for feet and the crude metal jewellery draped across its muscular body – are all... less familiar.
Still, it is without fear that you reach out and touch the looming edifice, letting your small palm rest upon the rough surface of the skull. Not stone at all, you realise as a few flakes crack off and drift away, but a thick layer of ancient dust and grime. Barely listening to the voices murmuring in the background, you begin to wipe away the filth. The leathery flesh beneath, blending seamlessly into bone, is... warm.
Dust stirs as a breath – the first in a very long time – slowly rattles the air around you.
>>44984495
You wouldn't say you're afraid exactly, but there's no way to deny that you take a hesitant step backwards as the ancient creature before you stirs. There's no particular malice in its movements – this is no beast surging from slumber to rage in an instant – but even a glancing blow from those meaty fists would be enough to put you down for a long time. Even if it was just stretching, testing the limits of its body...
A heavy rush of air, thick with the scent of beasts and dark with greasy dust, escapes the beast as it snorts. Within the black reaches of the skull's hollow eye sockets, faint lights first flicker and then glow with a steady intelligence. That great head rolls back and forth as the waking demon scans the surroundings, before those burning lights return to you – and there they stay, narrowing into gleaming points.
“What cruel illusion is this?” the beast groans, its voice dragged from some deep and infinitely hollow pit, “Is this how you choose to torment me, appearing in the guise of my dearest treasure?”
Dearest treasure, you murmur as his hand reaches down to your face, you don't understand.
“No...” the demon murmurs, stopping just short of brushing his fingers against your face, “You're no illusion, but you're not HER either. You're not my daughter.”
Perhaps you're slow on the uptake, but the pieces are slowly falling into place. Buried here, on sanctified ground, is the child of spite – your other self. That, at least, is what the Archangels told you. But if that's true, then the beast looming over you is...
Marco?
There is no easy way to describe the demon's reaction as you whisper the name. He seems to shudder and freeze in the same instant, before slowly turning his face back to you. “Mia,” he rumbles, your name echoing out.
>I'm Mia. I'm your daughter
>I'm not your daughter, and you're not my father
>How can you be... like this?
>Other
>>44984501
>I'm Mia. I'm your daughter
"You've been watching over my...her grave for an entire cycle?"

Honestly, I don't know if we could really be considered his daughter. Kind of a weird issue.
Next week I'm going on my first LARP, any advice /tg/?
Don't act like an ass and have fun.
We'll need a bit more details to give you much more advice than that.
>>44984801
Welp, I'm just going in as a warrior, a mercenary a bit like Geralt Of Rivia. Not really original, I know, but I'm pretty sure I'll be a lot more free to do what quest I want, when I want etc.
I'm with an organised clan too. Is there any cool forum/place for LARP? The community looks a bit scattered.
>>44984989
First of all, the larpthreads on /cgl/, though slower, are generally more helpful. The most important things people'll need to know to give advice are genre (high fantasy, low fantasy, sci-fi, modern, etc) and location (-in general- American larps have more fighting and less roleplaying, Scandinavian larps are have loads of roleplaying and very little fighting, and Central European larps sit somewhere in the middle).
As some more personal advice: when playing a warrior-type, ESPECIALLY one based on a well-known character, think long and hard on what you want the character's personality and background to be like. If you go in as faceless-rank-and-file-dude-#37, you won't get as much roleplay as when you play Sam Mason, the cheerful boy who went out to see the world to follow in his older brother's footsteps.
When making a character's background, try to create a humble story that avoids the most common tropes. Basically, don't do any of the following:
- Play a character whose parents are both dead
- Play a noble
- Play a lost noble
- Play a prophesied hero of ...
- Play the last survivor of ...
And similar things. All of these CAN work in a background story, but I'd avoid them when starting out.

One hundred years have passed since the unification of the Yorkmen with the Tribe of Lancaster. Sharing in the knowledge of their peoples, the Clans of the Tribal Confederation of Brigantia have gained much from joining. The Lancastermen shared their knowledge of Herd Animals and Leather. The Yorkmen introduced Domesticated Dogs, Spirituality and their discovery of shiny minerals in the hills to the east. Together, as Brigantians, in just a century, they discovered the secrets of working Bronze from Copper and Tin, and developed a Calender, a near-neccesity in coordinating multiple villages and clans.
The Picts, an offshoot of the Brigantian Tribes prior to unification have developed a unique culture to the north. Rumor has it that many Pict villages have been founded even further north, where they attempt to bully struggling communities into tribute. Brigantian relations with the Picts are frosty at best, and outright hostile at worst.

Why do you want to talk about Barriss Offee?
modelfag here, new mould looks good apart from overly thick wings and some issues getting the resin into the laser cannons again (talcum powder made a smooth cast without bubbles but I think the talc didn't get everywhere, so bubbles at those extremities).
Also, the sacrifices I make for howlrunnerfag to see a squadron of his beauties one day soon, had a bad scalpel stick into my thumb, now bandaged and bathroom cleaned of a good amount of blood.
