Hello again my fellow creators of /tg/. After a very long hiatus on my part, I've returned to continue our EvoGame where we left off.
Those of you not familiar with this how these threads function, I'll give you a brief rundown. The goal of this Game is to see far the evolution of these critters go, and to also see how many days we can keep this running of course. As GM, I'll be actively working to make phylogeny charts to track the evolutions, and also throw in some random events, and extinctions of course to keep this interesting.
In regards to...

The Setting:
The planet is most similar to Earth during the mid-late ordovician period. Roughly 20-25 mya, the planet a cataclysmic event by a Supervolcano eruption, enveloped the planet in ash. 20% of life was wiped out, but for those that survived, flourished in the fresh new world.The aftermath of the mass volcanic activity, has left Planet Evo today with lush world of fertile seas and lagoons, as well as marshy shorelines and loamy earth, which has become home for the brave pioneers of terrestrial life.

Pictures of some creatures? Nobody has anything to add too. There's nothing there
I've always been interested in implementation of meta elements into roleplaying games. Has /tg/ any experience doing this? I've heard about a group who played a game on one of the player's cottage and brought a replica handgun with them, and whoever had the replica was also having the only gun in-game. Was some kinda psychological horror-murder-mystery whatever. Another game I heard about a different group playing where I live was they did a tactical espionage action style game and in one session, the DM left his bag in the living room while they were playing,...

There are literally dozens of games that employ rules that engage the players on a meta level. Almost all the narrative "indie"/"storygame" stuf do. And a lot of traditional games from the last decade or two showed an increasing number of mechanics that need decisions on part of the player that have no direct equivalent in the in-game fiction (see all the lucky rerolls, fate points and so on).
Unfortunaltely, some fucker decided that these were "dissociated mechanics" and somehow...

That's not really what I meant. Fate or luck points aren't really different from any other powers the characters have at their disposal the way I see it.
I'm actually interested in concrete, real world objects, actions, utterances, etc. having some kind of an effect in game. See what I mean?
>>44323577
I feel the same, anon.
In the mansions of Madness boardgame there is a mechanic of opening safes and rerouting wires that the player has the pieces in front of him and can only swap/move pieces in a round equal times his character int status. I used this in my warhammer fantasy roleplay 3rd edition and worked like a charm. The players loved the "mini puzzles"
What's Guild Ball?
Short answer: The best game you haven't played
Slightly longer answer: Medieval mob ball crossed with gladiator combat from the coliseum.
Long Answer: Guild Ball is a table top skirmish game for a fantasy sport. You win by reaching a set amount of points before your opponent, which are gained by taking out his team, scoring goals, or a mix of the two. Playing Football or focusing entirely on combat are equally viable ways to win.
Teams represent one of the various trade guilds, currently there are 8 playable guilds with more being released next year. Guild ball is simple to pick up but hard to master. Teams are composed of six models, fielding a team for a full sized game costs <$100 USD.
Rules and templates for proxy models are available for free http://guildball.com/#downloads
Abridged Lore:
> Stupid humans are stupid humans and start fighting amongst themselves. Conflicts continue and escalate, strings of wars break out across the entire continent that become known as the Century War
> Century War is fucking ruining everything. The various trade guilds realise this is ultimately going to do nothing but bankrupt them and leave all their customers dead.
> Guilds unite behind the political scenes and simultaneously lean on all the weakened countries to eventually broker a peace.
> Realising that humans are fucking stupid ass animals, if they don't give them something to channel their aggression and nationalistic pride into the peace will be shortlived and the wars will resume.
> Guilds nationalise mob football, a popular peasant game in every country, as Guild Ball. Guild Ball essentially becomes Europe's The Premier League + Roman Gladiator fighting.
> Guild ball is keeping the peace but also making the guilds a fuckload of money.a

Lots of nice paintjobs out there, but never for Masons. Everyone seems to paint them like burn victims. Why?
So if you qualify for the big tournament they pay for your flights and accommodation?
More like nobody plays edition.
No RPG will ever be as good as D&D 3.5. Fact.
This is trolling, but it's utterly depressing how many people actually believe that.

It's not trolling if it's true.

Warhammer Fantasy General, focused on the fluff and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. 1st and 2nd Edition, but discussion on 3rd Edition and the Tabletop is welcomed... ish.
The previous thread is just about to fall off the board, but since it's still going strong, I'm pre-emptively starting a new one. It would be a shame to break a good trend.
Hopefully there'll be 90% less shitposting in this one.

Would appreciate good stable links for 1st and 3rd Ed, just for completion's sake.

Outstanding questions:
>still looking for ideas for expanded arcane marks
>how many autists does it take to shitpost?only one
>non-bulls-and-such beastmen, rules and imagery?
>is there actually a limit to magical healing or not, or just the heal skill?
>should you gain 1d10-1 Insanity if you are from Ostland and Hochland, based on war and rape?
>other positive interpretations of the chaos gods or other aspects of chaos?
End Times and Age of Shitmar need not apply. If that's your cup of tea, there's an ongoing thread for beaten housewives with stockholm syndrome elsewhere on the board, no need to shit up this one thread, please.
>still looking for ideas for expanded arcane marks
I think they should have something similar to the Necromantic maladies back in 1ed. Different marks that you just get automatically as you get deeper into your chosen lore. Every time you take an advancement in your Magic stat, roll on a table relevant to your chosen lore and enjoy your new mark.
Question:
If I throw a fireball into a dry forest, will it not catch the forest on fire because apparently you have to be exposed to fire for two rounds for something to catch on fire?
>>44322931
If GM considers it to be very flammable it probably should start burning.
But fire spells are not napalm. Most of them are very short and small bursts of fire. Definitely not enough to set clothes on fire.
You're Big Tink Zognik da Githog, just recently you have made some preparations for new big day. And now, in the presumably middle of the night, you're in the middle of your 'party' that just reached new height in a sense. Because now there's a tower that shoots lightning bolts at everyone around it, and you want it. Now.
After bringing morale back of those who got scared of something as puny as lightning bolts that appear nilly willy, you find yourself around your boyz yet again. The barn that was used as a frontier base is now being taken by...

I...have no idea what it is with you people, but I don't particularly care anymore. Just....behave, in the Emperor's name, behave. There's only so much patience that we can show before it just isn't worth it.
I will take the confessions of whosoever requires it, before I must proceed to the Cathedral of the Emperor Ascendant.
>>44322438
I'm not sure that many of the louts will confess Mi'Lord, they don't seem the kind to admit to their sins.
Still....for some, it may be appreciated.

As you watch, Petra first flexes her fingers and then clenches her hand into a tight fist. As if that proves something, settling the issue of her health beyond all debate, she looks at you with triumphant eyes – rather, a triumphant EYE. It's hard to imagine her as entirely fit and healthy, with that patch of black silk covering a not insignificant part of her face.

“Anyway,” Petra continues, with a note of what can only be described as petulance in her voice, “You took a hit to the face, yes? No bed rest that time, was there?”
Your initial reaction is to insist that your injury was totally different – and perhaps it was, considering that losing an eye is a little more serious than gaining a small scar on the nose – but you sense that she wouldn't listen. Again, just like you wouldn't listen if she was the one scolding you. In a way, it feels...

I'm hurt, you're hurt, Leon is hurt, Elliot finally understands the score and needs to come to terms, and Joseph needs to get deprogrammed from his stay with the archangels.
