Hey /tg/, can anyone give me and idea of a system that I could use for run a Fate/Stay Night campaign? I'm searching for something not to complex, at least in the battle system and adapting the statistics and noble phantasm thing. I was searching for some system but I can't find any for a campaing like this and well I'm new at DMing so using something like Anima (in my opinion this is a very interesting system but too complex for me) isn't something that i want to do because i lack the experience and i don't want to bother or bore my players looking...

Fate campaigns are a topic that comes up pretty often (and, a bit less frequently, Nasuverse campaigns as a whole), and to this day there really isn't a single defining answer. I've played one in Mutants and Masterminds in the past, and that worked pretty well. I remember seeing Wild Talents, GURPS, and the FATE universal system (unrelated to FSN or the Nasuverse) come up in the past as well. Whatever you do, though, stay away from that one Nasuverse homebrew that's also called Fate, from the Heaven's...

What it says on the tin: what are the most annoying, time wasting and redundant game mechanics in wargaming?
>>44218588
You can't just say that one mechanic is objectively terrible without the context of a specific system, some times things fit, some times they don't.
The biggest time-waster is probably alternating rolls for things that don't involve making any decisions.
Example: I roll to wound your guys, then you roll to save. It doesn't matter who rolls, the outcome is the same, and it eats up extra time to take turns getting the dice out.
My other pet peeve is adding exceptions and...

Tell me about the Cyberpunk games /tg/. I've been wanting to do a cyberpunk setting but I dont want the fantasy elements like in Shadowrun. Are there better alternatives?
>>44216898
>Are there better alternatives?
GURPS. Some nigger will come in here shilling Interface Zero, but GURPS Cyberpunk/Cyberworld is best.
There's Cyberspace if you want to play Rolemaster cyberpunk for some reason.

A little while ago, some anons posted some stuff about running CP2020 classless by making the role skills normal skills. How do you handle the monthly earnings in this case? Use the highest one you qualify for, or sum the salaries from all the role skills?

Actually I was asking about the game because I dont know anything about it. You seem to know it though so what are your feeling on it?

Piqued my interested. Where do we start?
so we dont have to make a thread for every damn character
I don't think you understand stat me threads.
The people who make them don't actually care about the character's stats. They just want to talk about the character on /tg/ instead of on wherever you're supposed to talk about the character or the show/video game/movie/book/comic/webcomic/commercial/cereal box they're from.

I'm tempted to post a "stat me" thread some day with a cereal box character now.

Wouldn't be the first time.
After many adventures of considerable renown, your travels take you (and your party)into a small town where you take a break. There, you meet several young children who have heard tales of your exploits and are completely enamored with you and your legend. Probably, you told them a couple extra stories, maybe even did a couple autographs. A couple of them even show off their practice weapons they created and are running through the streets play-fighting. Eventually, a couple of them admit they've been so inspired by you that they want to become adventurers just like you....

Anybody got news on the english version of In Thy Blood?
Can anybody fill me in on Wilhelm Getrell and the Recombination Group? It seems like they had a pretty vast influence on the current state of the world.

I'd like some explanation here as well. I've been trying to get through the rulebooks but it's pretty dense and so far my understanding of the RG is as some kind of nebulous conspiracy.

Here's a question:
Why does WHFRP2 split up each Arcane and Divine Lore into three lores when it adds more spells in Realms of Sorcery and Tome of Salvation, if you still have to pick spells individually anyway?
Why not just let you pick freely from the associated spells?
For example, if you are an Amber Wizard, Lore of Beasts, you cannot take The Beast Broken, The Beast Made Well, and The Beast Unleashed, because there are three spell lists, Elemental, Mystical, and Cardinal, and none includes all three.
It seems like a very odd restriction...

Hello /tg/
Let's brainstorm some ideas for random encounters/locations in the wilderness.
Don't need no combat related ones, we all have a bestiary to choose from, let's try to come out with original things to create good scene settings.
Also, let's try to keep it low fantasy-low magic, there's still the chance to build up high on that after.
I'll start with some forest related ones.
- Waystone of token ancient civilization, touching it gives images of the surrounding land.
- Remains of a summoning circle, hinting at a ritual going down some [time] ago.
- Roadside memorial or grave marker, an excuse for fluff exposition
- An abandoned camp. Could be loot in there, or not. Could be signs of what happened and who was there, or not.
- a group of hunters throwing a roadside party, celebrating the youngest's first successful hunt
- a horse coming down the road, all barded and maybe with personal effects on, but without any rider
- a bruised traveller who got robbed, and trying to get help or a ride to the nearest town. May be a bandit, or not.
- remnants of a big fight that happened, broken bodies and weapons. Maybe no bodies.
- young child wandering around. Maybe he is lost, maybe he went off to join the army, maybe he wanted to go to the city, maybe he is running from abusive parents.
- small roadshrine of god of the wilds, or of a traveller god. May give the party blessings, depending on your height of fantasy or your GM cruelty.
- two elves having sex in a clearing, very embarassed to have the adventurers walk in on them
- a cottage inhabited by an old woman, who is said to have strange abilities. The party initially can't tell whether she's helpful or sinister.
So, the 1.2 version of Broken World, the Kill 6 Billion Demons RPG has been uploaded.
Any Patreanons willing to share?

A pretty awesome webcomic with a cool setting and great art. A little nebulous and mysterious at times, but overall very solid.

Looks interesting, but I haven't got into all of the details yet, so here is some generic feedback.
At 100 pages please consider fixing your layout to include more compact tables, two column text, and/or smaller font sizes.
Also, the previous thread implies there has been a playtest session already.
Care to share the results?

It wouldn't be necessary for everyone, but stuff like that might help springboard some ideas for people who don't want to play in one of the two game worlds already established.
The Brazen of Pearl doesn’t depart immediately once you’re aboard. It spends several days finishing up its refueling cycle, giving you ample time to get acclimated to your new home. The actual act of moving into your quarters is simple enough. You only brought the one bag with you, after all. Most of it clothing. The contents don’t even begin to fill your walk-in closet. And even spread out your remaining possessions hardly give the impression that someone actually lives here. Simply put, you’re out of your element. House Girad may have had significant holdings back...

The other individual you’ve gotten to know is the First Officer, Seneschal Lion. Built like an Ogryn, he stands tall above almost everyone aboard. Yet what’s most imposing about him is his voice. Every word carries the unsaid-weight of someone who’s an expert in both matters of trade and matters of the ship. Lion has always been the first person to arrive in the Mess in the morning. Often hidden behind a dataslate, your guess is that he uses this time to catch up on all the reports that came in during the night cycle. He’s not said much to you besides polite greetings, but even that little cements your impression that this is someone you want on your side.
The individual that stands out the most, however, is the woman who joins your table for breakfast on the third day. Unlike the other white-uniformed officers, the pony-tailed blonde is clad in a tight-fitting, armored body glove and sporting two chain blades at her side. She gets straight to the point while waiting for her omelets to arrive.
“You are Navigator Primaris Senka, are you not?”
Your fork pauses on its way to your mouth. “What gave it away?”
She flashes a smile, continuing, “Born 059.M41 to Sephera and Pontius Girad, fifth in line of succession, and one of the thousand who survived the Silent Golden incident.”
“You’ve done your homework I see,” you say, setting your fork back down to give her your full attention.
“I’d be terrible at my job if I didn’t.” She places a hand on her breast for emphasis. “I am Mistress of Whispers, Nelia. It’s my understanding you’re without proper guard thanks to some excitement on the way here.”
“That’s correct,” you admit. For a spymaster she’s certainly filling the role well.
“Then it’s my duty to see you given a new one. What’s your preference? In view and imposing, or hidden and deadly?”

LAST WEEK, IN THE PREVIOUS SESSION, I, AKU, SHAPESHIFTING DM OF DARKNESS UNLEASHED AN UNSPEAKABLE EVIL UPON THE PLAYER CHARACTERS. BUT A FOOLISH SAMURAI WIELDING A MAGIC SWORD DARED TO OPPOSE ME. BEFORE THE CAMPAIGN WAS DERAILED, I TORE OPEN A PORTAL THAT WAS MY FRONT DOOR, AND FLUNG HIM OUT OF MY HOUSE, WHERE MY EVIL IS LAW. NOW HE SEEKS TO UNDO THE CAMPAIGN THAT IS RUN BY AKU.
So my campaign is gearing up to go full-on plague mode. You know the deal; disease spreading among the population, panic running through the streets, bodies being carried to the cemetery by the cartload, Churches unable to keep up with the need for healing, etc.
What I need is ideas for "quests" I can weave into the overall plot. Vignettes and setpieces that push the horror atmosphere (ideally without delving into the generic "undead everywhere" style) of the city.
So /tg/, can you help me brainstorm some ideas?
Seriously, guys I'm completely tapped for ideas right now.
Depends on what your PCs are. If they are mercenaries i would suggest having them protect a shipment of all too rare medicine on its way the clerics or whoever is in charge of distributing healing and supplies. Plague victims attack the shipment desperate for medicine and knowing that there isn't enough to go around.
This is assuming that your PCs are mercs, of course. if not you could have them see a shipment getting attacked, perhaps with guards defending it with brutal force on the weak plague ridden victims.

Nearby, two children put the finishing touches on an elaborate sandcastle. Walls are tapped down and towers are made just right, as the bright blue tide begins to lap at their feet and the base of their structure. Giggling, they resign to fall back and get a better look at their work. They stop near you.
The carefully formed white sand morphs under the rhythmic tides, forming bizarre, precarious, and above all temporary shapes not possible with the human hand. The water...
