Does anyone have Legends of the Wulin?
I had it a while ago but now that the physical copy has finally been released I want to give it another read through before I order it in.
Is there a cyberpunk fantasy game out there that doesn't have the ridiculous bookkeeping and character mastery of Shadowrun? There's 0 chance I'll be able to keep some of my current players interested in SR because of these factors, so I'm looking for an alternative.
>>43908877
Most of the answers you get won't be satisfying. I would recommend Savage Worlds with a combo of fantasy and scifi splatbooks combined however fits best for your group.
>>43908877
GURPS
Nah just kidding I love GURPS but it probably rivals Shadowrun in terms of bookkeeping
I second Savage Worlds and just combine stuff from the fantasy and scifi books. Savage worlds is really rules-lite.

Thanks, friends.
How would the last character you played respond to this BBEG?
Absolutely the worst recurring plot from Franken Fran tbqh clan.

Also, before autists, newfags, or mods (and any combination thereof) throw a fit, SMAC is /tg/ related because of the GURPS supplement. Deal with it.

SMAC threads are ancient on /tg/. Check the archive you fucking redditor
Is going on a grand adventure possible anymore in the cold world of today? Was it ever possible?
No.
Maybe.
Sure. All you need is some good motivation.

Hey /tg/. Picked this game up on sale. I assume that its content is psuedo relevant here? I would love to create material for this game, but I see a lot of mods for it that have no feedback or response, so I would want to know what people would *want* to play
Never make anything for anyone else. You'll find only disappointment.
Instead make things for yourself, and give other people access to it.
>>43908677
Well yeah, but At the same time I don't want to bust out my games and get a scanner and learn to 3-d model for a tiny pay out.

Build Roll20: Chat and audio, map with tokens, dice sim, soundtrack player, A/V handouts, no need to incorporate crunch - people do that by hand.

Look! You made a funny.
I've been lurking for quite a while, yet there are some things about this board and it's subgroups that still remain unanswered.
Mostly because these things are too overwhelming to really get into.
So, answer me /tg/, what's the deal with:
>GRUPS-fags? What is grups like, who does it appeal to and why do these people keep suggesting it everywhere?
>40k? It's such a huge part of this board and all I can see is very grimdark lore, a number-crunching game and huge money sinks. What am I...

>>43908587
GURPS is a simple system that has splatbooks for pretty much any setting you could want to run a game in, it's advantage is in having one single system for every setting, but this is also why it sucks.
40k is the reason /tg/ exists, we were created to get the warhams threads out of /b/.
CYOAs are cancer, they serve no purpose and belong on another board.
40k has so many fans because it's been around for quite a while, resulting in a "famous for being famous" (or in this case, popular for being popular) kind of deal.
A lot of people already play it. It is likely that newcomers to the hobby will get introduced to it through 40k, and the fact that there are many players also affects that people are more inclined to pick it up over other games in the genre.

A little... something is leaning over you.

Bump. Or something like this...
And another one.
Anyone wants to play?
On one side, you brought this entirely on yourself. On the other, it was for your friends' sake so you can't really say it wasn't worth it. Besides, it's just one day of being a pretend familiar, Astreya doesn't really have any actual magical power over you or anything, you're not even a demon (being half of it doesn't count, right?).
Still, she's probably so used to having had the same familiar for all these years that she can't quite really realize she's giving plenty of things for granted. Like the fact that you know...

Privateer Press hates Cryx so much that they gave every other army access to easy one wound infantry removal. As long as the Sacral Vault exists, no Cryx player will ever take Banes.

you cant spell cryx without cry
The Chaos Gods are boring antagonists.
I agree. Granted, there are in-universe explanations for why they always exhibit the negative aspects of their emotional purviews and never the positive ones but it does sap a lot of nuance from them as characters.

Agree, let's have them be the protagonists.
Alright, /tg/
A 12th level Wizard has been given a quest to cause as much destruction as possible. Assuming that the wizard has access to any spell or feat, and that items that need purchasing can be purchased. The obvious answer is considering just raising an undead army, but the wizard is more enamored with the idea of doing the damage personally.
The actual mechanics of the spells are somewhat important, since there will likely be a chase scene with the party running away from these damaging effects. Before I go to the standard fireball and summons route, is...

Apocalypse from the sky in book of vile darkness(3.5) does 10d6 fire, acid or sonic damage (caster picks) to everything in 10 miles per caster level. It is a 9th level spell, but they can use a scroll. It takes a day to cast and caster also takes the damage.
>>43908303
You can't make scrolls of epic spells, AFAIK.
>>43907853
IIRC there was some combo with weather control and summoning snow that would drop hundred ft of snow on area of several square miles in a matter of minutes - but I don't recall the detail and it might actually have been a Druid thing.
Why doesn't /tg/ like feys?
In the tales I was taught, feys like to make human dance to death (or at least make them skip some years doing so) but that's pretty much all of it. Distracting them with riddles is enough to calm them until the sun rises again.
And if you bring drinks, treats or something they'll party less hard.
Of course you shouldn't eat food from them until you're in the human realm and not at night. But I'm told most of the fair folk are beneficial.
I'm from brittany, is your folklore just different or are you...

Probably because it's just butter and sugar (and like two tablespoons of flour).
I leave some in the atre for the domestic spirits.
Help me out here /tg/. I want to play a pnp rpg today, I don't care which one. I just need a group. I checked Roll 20, applied to the games that weren't already full, which was only 1, and that one should have started an hour ago, no word from the one who posted the campaign.
I know there are others on here with free time on Mondays, so if you want to start a campaign post in this thread.
TLDR; Post here if you want to start a Roll20 Monday campaign.
