Hey /tg/, what makes a game Ameritrash or Eurostyle?
>>44300397
Color palette.
>>44300403
or colour palette.

Those multicolored wooden faggots that serve as pawns for fucking everything.
A new RPG come on the market, and at first glance, it seems you'd be interested in playing it, due to its system or its setting. But then, the designers announce they intentionaly created a majority of useless, subpar or simply obnoxious to have character customisation options, and mixed them with the few ones that are actually playable.
Do you still try to play it?
>in before virtposting>but probably in after virtposting
>>44300378
D&D is all the proof you need that yes, obviously people play it, because at the end of the day it comes down to playing with people.
High-brow games design theory discussion is largely irrelevant to what's popular and enjoyed by the most people, the game with the biggest, shiniest monsterbook and the most players still wins even if the rules are a hot mess.
>>44300378
I play it for the same reason people play Call of Duty even though it's shit: Everyone else is playing.
Hey guys. I just dug up some old archenemy sets I threw together a while back. Was wondering what you might think of this Rakdos one.
I always liked the idea of boss fights in Magic, and Archenemy is the closest thing we've gotten to that sort of thing.

Guardsmen! We have exited the warp and are inbound to Praetoria. We dock and disembark in an hour.

So, which Primarch do you think it is?

Someone with wings so probably Sangy

Curze
>>44299932
Corax
There is a Raven Guard symbol on the gauntlet and the wing is not a real one like Sang's, it probably is just a jump pack
Do you guys have any portraits to share from the elona costum folder?
>>44299910
>Elona
Man, this takes me back.
Do you need just portraits or will in-game sprites fit too? Because for them there's an entire generator, better than native in-game one (though, to be honest, anything will be better than that).

Well, this is inconvenient.

this guy has a lot of Elona stuff, including portraits. The password for archives is always Elona.

"We heard you like games. Nerd games. Game of Thrones. That sort of thing. Well, our analysts have determined that what the market is really craving right now is a game show about geek stuff, and we're not going to do this thing half-assed."
"We want you to help us design a survivor/ninja warrior/whatever it's called when people dress up in the woods and pretend they're wizards-"
"LARPing?"
"Yeah, that. A survivor, ninja-warrior, Larding hybrid. Maybe a few other things mixed in. I don't know, I'm not a fucking nerd. But, I got a big budget and big expectations, so how are YOU going to help ME design this fantasy elimination deathmatch game show?"

Two teams, with a core group of 5-10 members of "nobles", lead ever changing armies of new players against each other in capture the flag scenarios.

Grab nerdlings that their friends "volunteered" and dress them as there last played character that again their friends supply us. We give them hard, properly weighted LARP weapons and send them out to survive on an island. The goal is to be the last man standing whether through "combat" or just outlasting the competition. The twist? Out of 100 contestants 10 are from military/survival background. Knock even one of them out you win, last 5 days as last nerdling among survivalists you win, survivalist...

Your party rogue/thief/sneak has been up and about looking to do something unlawful.

Hey, he can have her. Honestly, It ain't worth it. She'll probably escape later in any case.
>>44298852
She'll succeed: in the world of superheroes, supervillains will run and reappear later.
Is there any information as far as how heavy of a bow female archers could conceivably use? I read that the average medieval longbow is estimated to be between 80 and 120 pounds of draw.
>>44298712
This sounds pretty magical realm, desu.
>>44298725
Stop being a fag, that's OP's job.
>>44298712
Do more research and learn how strong you need to be to reliably use a warbow. Then see how strong females are.
>>44298731
>Then see how strong females are.
The order of operations seems kind of reversed, since even fairly athletic types don't always have the right muscles for bows.
>High Lords of Terra : The time has come. Execute Order 666
What if the entire Imperium turned against the Marines and sought their destruction? How fucked would be the marines? Can they survive?
>>44298531
Nothing would happen because the Imperrium is so bogged down in beaurocracy that the order would never make it outside the Administratum anytime soon.
For all we know, the order might have already been issued but the spires of beaurocracy in the Imperium are so confused that by the time someone will rediscover it again the Imperium will be already extinct
>>44298531
Isn't order 666 the one where the grey knights are ordered to assassinate the emperor? (though, god-emperor alone knows why)
>>44298681
This, to my mind, sums up the entirety of the administratum, if what i've heard and read is anything to go by

>>44298531
That depends, are we talking the usual approach taken by people in a setting where charging through a minefield while under fire so you can try to cut a tank in half with a giant chainsaw is a valid tactic or are we talking a smart approach?
/tg/, what system woud you use for running games based on great like Gravity Falls and Steven Universe?
>>44298374
Kidpunk, a /tg/ homebrew made specifically to play a CN show
>>44298377
That sounds neat. Can we see it? Does it work forRegular Show?
>>44298374
>Gravity Falls
Little Fears, WoD: Innocents or Delta Green.
So my players again managed to wonder off into some region, I was supposed to flesh out waaay later in the campaign and I'd appreciate help sculpting it.
Basically we have a D&D like empire, led by immensely powerful ecclesiarchy and archmages' guild, stretching over two dozen conquered worlds. Enslaved armies, dominated armies, undead armies, arcane armies, flesh- and mind- sculpting, mega-cities in layers, dragon rulers and empire-loyal beholder leaders of entire fiefs - its' all there.
Now, we also have The Rebels which PCs want to contact...

Could just have them slowly creep up to a massive pit with stairs that lead into darkness..
What system does magic well? In a way that's not free form and isn't overly complex but creativity is encouraged. It would also be nice if it had quick cast spell and long rituals to add to the flavor of the game.
>>44298221
D&D 4e.

Mage the Awakening has the closest thing to a perfect magic system that I've played.
so i'm just reading through this book and it seems kinda fun, if over the top as fuck.
Any of you guys ever heard of it? is it any good in actual play? what's your position on the clearly superior alpha konsortium? or is it even available outside of germany?
I've never heard of this. Give us a tl;dr OP?
>>44298104
oh yeah, sure. my bad.
the setting is basically that during the first mega-con war some (unknown) asshole launched nanobots into the atmosphere wich block out the sun, causing a new ice age.
what little bits of the planet are still habitable are mostly ruled (either indirectly through puppet governments, or directly through whatever means) by the same mega-cons that caused the ice age in the first place.
the last neutral grounds are totally-not-murrica, totally-not-mad-max-australia, and africa wich is still a wartorn shithole.
the players, as far as i could gather so far are meant to be shadowrrun-esque black ops or terminator-style freedom fighters, or whatever seems fun at the time.
a big focus of the system seems to be the rule of cool, even to the point where some game-mechanics are literally rule of cool elements you can buy for your character
tl;dr: frostzone is a post-apocalytpic, cyperpunk, dystopian, science-fantasy rpg.
the world is in a new ice age through mega-con shenanigans and players take on roles somewhat similar to what you would do in shadowrun/cyberpunk
>>44298179
That sounds pretty damn fun actually. What's the system like?
Kings of War: Uncharted Empires
any one have this
a scan of the non gamers edition of KOW2 would be nice also I want me some arrrrt
>>44298058
I've seen the full KOW2 rulebook in other threads, so someone has it.
>>44298235
>are the "free pdf rules" not the entire rule set?
No magic items (a big deal), incomplete army lists, only a couple of scenarios, no fluff, I think there are a some other things too.
