Song of Swords is a realistic fantasy tabletop RPG that draws inspiration from historical fechtbuchs, weapons and armor. Its combat system is fast and it can be used for both fantasy and historical/mundane settings.
Call of the Void is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Its combat system is more modern, based in the early 20th century, but can probably handle combat up to the present day.
Here's a .rar archive with the newest version of the rules as well as all related current working documents. At this time the latest version is v1.9.9:

Here's Ballad of the Laser Whales' latest version: https://www.mediafire.com/?rtbjk51jnm2wv8a
Here's a wiki detailing SoS's fantasy setting, getting filled up bit by bit as Jimmy reveals more details:
http://tattered-realms.wikia.com/wiki/Tattered_Realms_Wiki
There's also a roll20 room where new players are encouraged to try the rules, test new rules, and find game breaking issues: https://app.roll20.net/join/346755/hRKd4w
The room might be empty, but the people who teach the game still browse the thread frequently. If you're looking to learn, post here in the thread. We also play Guy Windsor's card game Audatia in the room.

You forgot the new CotV that Jimmy posted
ok so i have heard that some one used Song of swords for a Darks souls campain.
i am planing on running one of those as well and would like advise as well as some pointers on combat rules and how to make them interesting.
i dont know if i'll be free tomorrow for the combat lesson thing.
but i would still like to hear ideas on how to put dark souls magic in the campain.
Jimmy, can you weigh in on anons pet theory(>>44225437)?
>not executing prisoners immediately after you gain something useful from them, then hacking into the bodies to obscure cause of death
Why are you such an unpragmatic adventurer?
>>44231252
>taking prisoners ever
You dishonor yourself.
>>44231292
>not interrogating prisoners for information
Pragmatism, son.
I have no reason to hide my actions because I'm not a murderous asshole.
Tell me about the races in your world, /tg/
>>44229488
At least the one I'm currently working on. World is posthuman postapocalypse. All the inhabitants have been magically mutated for various reasons into three races that still call themselves human, but are different from what humanity used to actually look like. Each one is representative of certain sins or wrongdoings, and while individuals can be decent people, in large groups they tend to be assholes.
>Gremlins
Short little miscreants, representative of pollution and vandalism. Gremlins are the most environmentally destructive and technologically progressive people. They are orange/red-fleshed, short and stout, with big ears and noses, and a resistance to most toxins that allows them to exist in the wake of their unbridled, poisonous industry.
>Korrigans
The most human in stature and shape, but green/yellow-skinned with prominent horns on their heads. Korrigans represent treachery and deception, and are ruthless, backstabbing schemers while also being the driving force behind modern civilization. They are both the most social and antisocial people, the most likely to form the next team or cult or army with a driving cause, and the most likely to kill their best friends for selfish reasons.
>Trolls
The biggest and stronkest species, blue/purple skinned and with mutated, scaly, or tough hides. Trolls are representative of wrath and rape, with the most dominant genes of the three races – children born from a Troll parent and a parent of another race appear almost completely troll-like. They are the most traditional and nature-loving people, obsessed with taming the wilderness and hunting any challenging monster they come across. They are also the most warlike and militant, with violence always their first answer to solving problems.
They started off as independent peoples centuries ago, but now it's rare to find them separated. All major civilized areas will feature about an even number of all of them.
>>44229691
Why the fuck would anybody put up with Trolls? They sound like they would be a legitimate reason for a genocide in that setting
>>44229729
Everyone's tried to kill each other, and everyone still hates the stereotypical members of the other two species. Korrigans and Trolls hate Gremlins because they ruin the environment and keep deconstructing and vandalizing everything around them for "science". Trolls and Gremlins hate Korrigans because they're backstabbing traitors and manipulative bastards. Korrigans and Gremlins hate Trolls because they keep ooga-boogaing all their green/red women and are literally behind most of the world's recent wars.
But over time, the normal, non-stereotypical members of each race have come together in the middle of the map and have built functioning civilizations together. All three together almost make each other decent human beings, keeping each other in check. It's usually when they cling to their own in a large homogenous group that you find yourself with a roving bandit gang of vandals/assassins/rapists.
Plus, there are a fuck ton of monsters that create a unifying common enemy for them. Undead, demons, chimeras, golems, and more keep them all friendly with each other to survive the next big problem.
Hey people, the manga about Japanese Tabletop RPGs finally has its 2nd volume scanlated.

Go read it and enjoy yourself etc.
Is there a place where all of the manga is stored?
I'd like to refresh myself with volume 1.

>The bodies jerked in their cradles.
>Valnyr awaited their resurrection with excitement. She looked forward to the reunion, eager to hear the voices and thoughts of her guard. Their bonds had been forged in the turbulent days of war against the treacherous and hateful eldar. Those bonds had only been strengthened by conversion as loyalty engrams had rewritten portions of the lychguards’ personality to ensure devotion beyond even that which they had exhibited in their mortality. These lychguard were Valnyr’s wardens, gifts from the Dynasts.
>The green lights gave way to arcs of corposant that juddered between the limbs and along the spines of the lychguard.
>Emerald balefires flashed in Shaudukar’s eyes, winking with intelligence programs being brought back online. She awoke, the first to do so. Shaudukar, oldest and truest friend of the cryptek called Valnyr. Shaudukar, leader of her lychguard. She fell from the casket. The others followed, some crunching to their knees. Shaudukar’s fist crashed to her chest plate in the old salute. The others echoed her scant seconds later, except for Poblaaur.
>Shaudukar said nothing as her sentience resumed control of her body, as she shrugged off the Great Sleep. She reached for her weapons from behind her casket, arming herself with her warscythe and shield. No nonsense and no fuss, as she had been in life. Valnyr felt relief to see her unchanged by sixty million years of dormancy.
>Poblaaur kept his eyes dim, facing towards the wall.
>‘My mistress,’ Shaudukar said. She stared at her hands.
>Valnyr approached her, standing nearly uncomfortably close. For the status-obsessed necrons, where distance often indicated hierarchy and respect, it was an expression of great affection.
>‘Shaudukar,’ Valnyr whispered the name. ‘I am glad you are awake.’
>The lychguard leader inclined her head. ‘I am too. Is there a reason for our awakening?’
Necron Lesbians confirmed.
Which do you prefer, /tg/? The lizard-like Western dragon or the serpentine Eastern dragon? Or do both coexist in your setting?
Asian Dragon are Demigods or outright Gods. Western Dragons are just Apex Predators to be hunted.
Western
The less talking the better.
>>44212273
...fuck I hate this but it depends on setting.
Both good. I guess I prefer western dragons on the whole, because they work well as both villains and heroes. Eastern ones.. generally stuck as sages and protectors. Have to corrupt them to make them work well as evil.
I miss these threads.
Anon. please, I know you still have yours.

Here is, as near as I can tell, ALL of that. There's a newer less tiny-press-from-the-80s edition in German somewhere but I can't read it so I don't have it. You're animal people made by a space mega corp to explore dangerous new planets, because animal people legally aren't people so your shitty megacorp parents don't get as much flak if you die in the attempt. You can buy your freedom if you live long enough. (Also has Savage Worlds and D20 hacks some people did.)

It is a time of great turmoil. With the fall of THE GALACTIC EMPIRE, the galaxy descends into chaos. Anarchy reigns as the remaining GRAND MOFFS squable amongst themselves as well as the recently formed NEW REPUBLIC. However, other forces are at play, and the dark side threatens to consume the galaxy once more.
On the peaceful planet of NABOO, a youth regains consciousness after facing an unknown assailant. He awakes, not aware his actions could change the universe.....
Even more unbeknownst to him is the fact, in a galaxy far far far away, users on an anonymous image board secretly control his every action.
He's probably doomed...

You cough up disgusting tasting water as you scramble to the surface. It's late at night and very hard to see, but from the sounds, smell, and most definitely taste, you're in a swamp of some kind. Swimming to shore, you plop onto the muddy ground exhausted. You're not sure why, infact, you can't remember anything at all. You have a vague notion of burning, followed by falling, then finally drowning. There is a sharp pain on your right knee and a tingling sensation on your fingertips as you try to think about what happened to you. Whatever happened to you gives you feelings of both intense fear and rage. You have a gut feeling you shouldn't dwell on it long. The sound of a shuttle taking off rings off in the distance. It wouldn't be that long to walk where it took off. However, judging from the current, you floated here downstream. Perhaps following whatever body of water upwards would reveal more about yourself.

So /tg/ what happens when I've only played one game because of this because all the people I know who play were in it and they're all that guy?
Is no game for life my destiny?
You're probably That Guy too.
>>44380423
If you think everyone is That Guy, you are probably the actual That Guy.
If you just go play, make an effort to stick to the same game and keep playing, over time (like a year) people will learn to play and the game will be fun.

I'm going to be gming a dark heresy game. First time. What's your suggestions on being a good gm and to handle asinine requests?
What does /tg/ think about infighting between players? Whether it's the players moralities or some affliction that may turn a player? Does it even happen?
>>44380027
It depends on the group. If everyone is on the same page, and it doesn't bleed over into the real world it can be fulfilling. Most people can't handle this though. If you've got a good group, and it can make sense go for it, if not avoid it.
It can, and has for my group, turn into a better story than the DM intended.
>>44380088
Maybe you can answer this for me: Why do players get so attached to their characters?
I want to ask to be a part of some of the games at the comic book store near my house, but I'm kind of afraid that some ideas like this might get me laughed out. I don't want to cause shit flinging I just think its kind of interesting. Idk how to avoid being "that guy" though.
