I am not a regular to Delta Green threads, but I got hooked on the idea in the last one. Haven't sen another thread since, and I wanted to talk about it, so here we are.

Try giving the OP a topic.
Generals are an echo chamber without content.
Why would you like to talk about it?
>>44146448
Well right now I'm just working to soak in as much as possible.
The big thing eluding me right now is why all these people are running around doing shit for the Great Old Ones in the first place. Unwitting pawns I can see, but there seem to be a fair number who know what's up and still go with it.
>>44146623
There is no 'what's up'. There is a thousand smoldering fires that might flare up at any moment, and you just hope to get there in time and find a way to stop it.
Just because someone is an unwitting pawn does not mean they are harmless. Most people are unwitting pawns. We are a society structured by a concealed power hierarchy where everyone lies to himself just enough to make it work another day.
No cultist ever has a handler's perspective on the Mythos. And neither should the...

With all of the Kick Starters out there, it's hard to resist buying into a sales pitch without really knowing if the game is good or not.

Have you ever tried to design a board game? If so, what was it and how did it go?
I've recently been thinking about making games/variations of games. One game I've always wanted is a version of Clue where the murder knows they are the murderer and is desperately trying to not be found out. As far as I know, no game does this and I was thinking about making my own.
I also want to do a Formula D-but-with-weapons-and-stuff game after watching Redline and Speed Racer
Bit of a meta question for you guys. Do you allow other players in competitive games to adjust their turn after it has ended? Specifically if they've forgotten to roll a die that could have affected the entire game?

Why is this?
I can buy a bucket of pre-painted farm animals or dinosaurs for a few dollars.

Has someone played it? How does it play?
It gives me like an original FF cristal chronicles vibe. Is it good?
To what other games would you compare it?
nothing?
Got a link to the PDF broheim?
What's the game about?
>>44201133
I don't have a link. But for what I read it's about a group of travelers. It's really focused on traveling from town to town.
You have classes like: farmer, bard, merchant, artisan, etc. And then you have three archetypes: fighter, mage and technic. And combine the skills of the class and archetype.
I don't know much more. Can't find a pdf.
What's the bestmeaning your personal favoritesystem for a space game? What mechanics actually make you feel like you're in a sci-fi universe rather than just generic numbers?
SHATTERED HORIZON
>>44199529
Megatraveller. None of this Mongoose shit, the real old-school "you can die during char gen" version.
>>44199529
Eclipse Phase. Its mechanics are very universe appropriate and specific.
I'm planning on doing a campaign with my friends set in post-WWI England; it has characters and plot elements from pretty much any good anime/manga set around that time, like Phantom Blood or Black Butler.
Only problem is, the only good manga set around that time that I know of are the two above. /tg/, any suggestions?
>>44199385
Gosick isn't set in England, but it's set near England.
>>44199385
Hellsing

A possible end goal: The players must stop the machinations of Queen Victoria, who plans to conquer all of Europe with a vampire army, created by the Stone Mask and controlled by Alucard.
I am currently working on a Scifi game that works like D&D 2nd ED. (I am too causal to learn and DM traveler forgive me)
And I finished my list of alien races.
How it works is the player rolls a D10 to choose the category (# in the corner), then a D20 for the specific race (# over the head of the alien).
This is as far as I have gotten, but I plan to make perks and negatives for each alien.
Have you guys ever made a game universe? If so any information that would be useful to include?
>>44197534
this one contains all the OC humans of different skin color races.

Sorry about the delay.
The halls of the dungeon are winding and confusing, but Sir Oliver seems to navigate them easily, marching down the hall with strange, youthful energy. He hums a little marching tune while he walks, one that fills you with a strange longing for a time you've never been in, of comradery and blood. The trip is otherwise silent, the hollow footsteps of the marching armor filling the gaps, until you both reach another set of wooden doors, scratched in stained in several places. Oliver gives a little nod and pushes inside, pulling you along with him.
The mess hall is filled with monsters of all different shapes and sizes. A large gaggle of little green people talk loudly in their own little corner, taking up an entire table by themselves. Several different women with wings for arms, from leathery to feathery, sit perched up on the rafters, giggling and whispering among themselves. A group of dark robed, humanoid figured chat quietly away from the others. A pack of furred humanoid creatures, all looking just a bit different from each other, messily devour the flesh in front of them. A hulking beast of a woman stands behind a counter, clothed in rags and a ratty apron, chopping up large hunks of meat with a cleaver. Her skin is a slight yellow coloration, and she only has one eye. She's a bit fat, but still has quite a lot of muscles from what you can see. Oliver walks up, beaming as her usually does, pulling you along. "A bit of meat for the girl, Hm?"
The woman gives a sweet smile and nods. "One of those, eh?" She says in a strange accent, piling on raw meat onto a tray. The sight of it makes your mouth water, and you can feel the twisting hunger pains in your stomach once again. "Gretel here knows just what to serve, don't you worry." Oliver says with a slight chuckle and ruffles your hair. Soon enough, you're seated at a table, messily devouring your plate of food. Oliver seems to have looked away as you eat, preoccupied with the brickwork of the wall across the room, until one of the other monsters in the room calls his name, waving him over to their table. He leaves you unattended for the moment, but before you know it, the meat is gone from your plate, specks of blood covering your mouth and hands. Looking around, Oliver is distracted by a conversation at another table, and Gretel is busy mixing something up in a large pot behind the counter.

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...

FINALLY MADE A FUCKING THREAD
You meet with Shikamaru the next morning, and prepare to begin your training for the day. He approaches you, as stoic as ever, walking from the morning fog. He looks down with those vast, all seeing eyes of his and studies you for a brief moment. He speaks in a calm, quiet tone. Almost a little bored. "You've been doing well. Very well. Just about as well as I expected. Maybe better."
You smile warmly. "Thanks! It's been really hard work, but since it's all a part of the lessons it's worth it."
Shikamaru chuckles for a few...

Hey, guys. I was planning on continuing LWQ but my head just wasn't into it. Instead I'm going to be running something a little different. Could be one shot, could take longer. Depends on how things run today.

Alright let's try something different for choosing what race to roll with for this civ. When you pick a race, give some sort of backdrop as to where they stand in the world, and what their (more or less) main goal will be for the duration of the civ, so that we have something to strive for. Now I wrote up some brief examples and ideas for how the votes can be presented, but feel free to go wherever you want it to.
Some example races for you guys. If any of you find any of these interesting have at it since I have ideas and stuff planned for all three options. However,...

>Sloth people
Master Druids that have the sole intent of expanding their jungle homeland. They are very slow but can capture almost any creature with their Druid mages. They cling onto the backs of the creatures they tame and the majority of the civ will be centered around gathering beasts, expanding the forest, hating technogy, and striking slow-related puns
There are a lot of civ threads up today. Maybe I should wait until tomorrow to continue my machine civ. everyone might be burned out

Before the people of this ruined city decided to revolt upon their great(actually terrible) leaders they decided to make one more invention; a racist machine. Well machines. Racist against who you ask? The very humans who invented them thinking that they would only attack the revolting population and not them. The humans are now long gone in this area but the machines they left are not and after many long years they reactivate. Can you be the A.I. who leads your drones...

I'm a long-time war gamer whose group is going to run a 5th ed. DND campaign. while I grew up reading dragonlance and forgotten realms and have played the vidya like baldurs gate 1 and 2, this will be my first time playing a PNP RPG.
I want to make a memorable, off the wall character and i'm not that concerned about being absolutely optimal, just not totally useless. basically im also a huge wrestling fan and want to make a character based off of pro wrestling and more specifically the macho man. yes it needs to be 5th ed dnd (im sure there...

Short of choosing beast master rangers, you won't be useless mechanically.
Wrestlers are known for their strength and charisma. They put on as much of a show as they engage their muscles for combat.
Just choose a valor bard.
>>44195955
thanks for your response, ohhhh yeahh!
>>44195994
A Purple Knight Fighter could be good too. They use charisma for high persuasion and extend some of their powers to the group... which you could fluff as moves so awesome that they inspire your allies.
Or just go Totem Barbarian and put on a mask that represents your totem animal.
Hey /tg/
I have got some new miniatures after a long time of not playing any table top games, I just bought some warmachine and wondered what paints I should buy (basic stuff).
Looking into it as a hobby to calm me through upcoming exams.
My paints from 40k days have dried up and dont know the new stupid names :/
any suggestions for affordable paint?
Privateer Press's line of paint is fine.
