I would like to run a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game for my friends. Is there a system for it? Has anyone seen/used it? S.T.A.L.K.E.R. thread, I suppose.
I havn't seen a dedicate STALKER system.
I would say that GURPS is probably your best bet. Not because "HURF GURPS RUNS EVERYTHING HURF DURF" but because GURPS does gunplay well, specifically.
Ops and tactics.
We did AFMBE but it's really rooted in zombie horror so GURPS would be better because it's broader spectrum.
Hey /TG/
What's your favorite RPG system? Why you like it?
>>44223820
Mutants and Masterminds 3e, because it's the first game I've played with my amazing group and it's a fairly easy system to understand once you get into it and it's also incredibly versatile.
>>44223820
Talislanta, because it had a very simple and flexible skill and magic system in the 1980s and the world isn't your typical Euro-Medieval-Tolkien Land.
See thread here: >>44189632
>>44223833
I'm interested (or any superhero rpg in general). Any chance you can spin why I should play this system?
Is it possible to play a good fascist?
By good, I mean your DnD definition. Good is a tangible force in the world, it's own agency, opposed by evil.
And I do not use fascist as a synonym for tyrant, or totalitarian (though it could be those things.)
If so, what is the best way to approach this system of governance?
If not, what is the closest one can come to a totalitarian utopia?

This is going to get a ton of redirects to >>>/pol/, but I don't see why you couldn't. Just don't kill innocent people and steal and you're good.
>>44213630
If you just describe the economic aspect of Italian or German fascism without actually using the word fascism, like 90% of people will agree that it sounds like a good idea. In fact, most people wouldn't be able to meaningfully distinguish it from how the government interacts with capital today.
Like most dangerous political ideologies it seems like a really cool idea until you get to the part about actually implementing it and how much power needs to be concentrated in the hands of a small number of...

Go start reading about Mount Celestia. Needs to be enough detail to start giving you bits about each of the layers.
Then go read about the plane of Arcadia.
When you are done reading both entries come back to /tg/ and ask the same question if you still need to.
Howdy partner, welcome to Bazrael's Western Herobuilder.
But put your history books and your highschool maps away, this isn't the old frontier you studied in history class.
This is the Fantasy Western Herobuilder. Where the the Dire Bufallo play. A world of magic and super science, witches and clanker bots and all sorts of fantastical things.
And that's where you come in parnter. But just who are you?
A pilgrim making a homestead, a lawman on the hunt, a criminal, a slave, and indian?
That's a story to tell.

[Ssen]
The beasts draws you in closer, and you suddenly see it's dragging you deep into a sewer grate just below the castle. It's squeezing so tight you slip and let air escape your lungs causing you to panic, before it brings you out of the murky depths into a dark sewer. It's dark, and the filthy grim of the water obscures your vision, so you can only make out the outline of a horrible creature with one great big eye, a snapping jaw, and slime oozing from its skin.
You are just barely able to slip your hand to draw your gun and fire into its eye. Blast!...

[Andrew Johnson]
The man standing next to your sister extends his hand, and introduces himself “I am Emmanuel Buster Jr., Sir.”
His name makes you stop.
“I believe, you served with my brother.”
Your sister Elizabeth then grabs his arm gently, and speaks to you.
“He's my husband Andrew. He's the father of your nephew and niece.” suddenly you remember the two little children clinging to your sister, and see the resemblance in the boy's face to Emmanuel.
“It's...

You learn that your story was popularized in the east, how you survived not one deadly defeat but came back to serve in Buster's unit, and then survived that too and how you helped saved lives of civilians fleeing by ship. You're wondering if that last bit is a bit of Union propaganda, but don't mention it out loud.
You do mention that you have become the Chief of the Grassy Plains tribe. Emmanual smiles at that, and reveals his own bit of information.
“Well Mr. Chief, I'll have...

My Christmas bonus is tempting me towards Skarbrand.
Basic questions:
How would an open large scale Vampiric society work? How would they govern themselves?
What types and level of technology/magic would they achieve, harness, and use?
How would they go about shaping/terraforming the land around them.
How strong and effective would their military be?
If there were any, what kind of gods or religion would they worship? What would these gods represent?
And more importantly, just how would they coexist with mortal races, other civilizations, and other undead/horror themed creatures.
I've read up on all...

They're biology makes it impossible for them to have direct power except in small enclaves
I've also read up on "The Millennial King", a setting I found while browsing 1d4chan. And as a necromatic civilization, it has alot of ideas that I could see in a vampiric civ.

>>44156053
Read VTM. pretty much the basis of a vampire societies in general. Though vampires in open society and not being hunted down would be hard to imagine.
At best they would be treated like 40 k psycers and a neccesary evil.
Hey /tg/ I'm trying to figure out a class advancement system for my homebrew.
I'd like to make it not too complocated and the class paths specialized depending on they actually do in game, but what to about the flavor? lets say a fighter can specialize in defense or offese, how should I call them? knight and attacker? or make one specialized in melee and the other in ranged? knight and archer? how could I advance an archer class further? lend me your expertise.
>What should I call them
I think you're putting your cart before the horse.
Worry about naming things after you figure out the crunch.
How does your system even work? Like a weird DnD FFT where your first few levels are Squire, but then your 3rd and 4th level are Knight, and your 5th and 6th are Monk?
We can't help you if you don' t give us something to work with
>>44231355
Its something like a WHFB lite, class progression should be optional and only give access to exclusive skills.
basic classes are your three barebones archetypes: fighter, rougue and whizzard.
You're getting ahead of yourself. First, have a solid resolution mechanic. Then put together a list of feasible challenges. Then figure out the class stuff, and how classes overcome challenges. Bonus points: solve the 'linear fighter quadratic wizard' problem without simply making wizards linear too and calling it a day.
This is Boruto Quest, a quest set in the universe of Naruto. It is during the generation of Naruto's son, shortly after everyone has graduated from their Genin exam. I haven't kept up with the series beyond the end of the original one, so this one is intended to recapture the feel of that time of Naruto. I will not be incorporating the main show or the Boruto movie's plot into the quest, although some recognizable characters will be present. You play as a 12 year old Genin graduate named Takeshi. You have been assigned a Jounin squad leader named Hanto, and your...

Any Ideas?

What should a power plant that produces magical energy look like?
Why does your fantasy setting not have power plants that produce magical energy?
In the real world, we make use of many of the world's natural features to make energy: wind, water, steam, heat, sunlight, rocks and fossils from the earth. Surely a fantasy setting could make similar use of the elements for renewable magical energy?
>>44229305
Welp, that's another type of magic that's going into my kitchen sink setting. I think I'll call it Industricanum. Thanks OP.
>>44229305
They're called waterfalls, volcanoes and whirlpools, OP.

You put two philosophers covered in magnets into a sealed room. They begin arguing in circles so fast that it creates an electrical field, which is then converted through enchantments in the walls into magical energy.

So, this came out a couple of weeks ago. Just got my copy today. Anybody else have one? What do you guys think?
After one quick run, I like it so far. Definetely better and with more depth than SH:AoD.
Only disappointing thing is that there are only 4 heroes - bright wiz, WP, iron breaker, and elf. It's just begging for some expansions with new heroes - witch hunter, troll slayer, etc. Guess it will have to wait a bit though.
>>44228028
i got a copy. i'm liking it but the rules are missing a few corner cases. On BGG there is an unofficial faq that deals with things like "what happens when we are on the last point of the peril tracker when it is the peril phase?" and "do we reshuffle the dungeon/gear piles when they run out? how about the monster deck?"
>>44228028

Are their Miniatures?
Jesus is the lore of Kings of War boring. I'm trying to like it, but nope.
Quick search shows me this is a generic-Fantasy looking wargame. How boring is it?
Their goal is to provide alternate warhammer mini not make their own world.
Kings Of War is good for its rules not for its lore. Since you are allowed to basically use any miniatures for your army barring a few factions, you can basically make your own lore while still using the ruleset (which btw is much better than the piss poor balanced WHFB.)

War was calling. Everybody had been nervous during the last hours but now a siren has filled the entire Primus colony with its high pitched war chant and its gospel of hatred towards the enemies of the Imperium. The strange courier that visited our secretive and humble monastery carried with himself a message to take up arms and head where the Imperium and the God-Emperor needed us most.
After fixing the Infinity Bell you and your group were headed and informed of the situation. You and your sisters were warriors, all the information that you were given was that there...
