I wouldn't living in space affect someone's aging and growth?
>>43715778
Yes, living in space means people would grow taller, their skin would be significantly paler, their muscles would be weaker, and bones would be significantly more hollow. Most people who come back from space have to REALLY hold on to that railing on the side of the shuttle, because their legs aren't used to supporting their own weight, and osteoporosis is always a concern because they've lost a lot of bone tissue.
With artificial gravity it's a bit different, but the effects would still be noticeable.
>>43715778
Without gravity the skeletal, muscular, and vascular systems don't develop correctly. If you're not using artificial gravity, you need to be under constant 1g acceleration or keep pregnant women and everyone who isn't an adult in a centrifuge.

I want to run some fate themed campaign with my friend but i don't have any idea which setting could be good to make it work, can you give me some ideas please?
Searching for something i've found something called 'Fate Nasuverse Rpg', how good is it? anyone here had tested it?
>>43715531
Many groups have attempted Fate campaigns using many different systems. Most of them work with a little homebrewing, generally speaking. A lot of people use FATE (the system), but I know a lot of groups just use one D&D system or another. Not sure how they turned out though. If you aren't familiar with most systems, the d20 system used in D&D would probably be the easiest to learn and use and I'm sure it would work fine. The biggest roadblock a Fate themed group would run into would be the story and player investment.
It's just challenging simulating a Grail War in a tabletop game. Seeing as the average war only has fourteen combatants, the game would have to be enormously story driven with many breaks in the action if its going to last. You would need to be an exceptional storyteller who can play out many NPC's if you want to keep it interesting. If you don't give the players meaningful things to do between encounters, they are just going to metagame the hell out of it and end it quick. Most masters in the Fate series could be wiped out by a trained commando team if they didn't all have situational plot armor.
My current party wouldn't even try to talk with the other masters. They would instead rob a bank using magic, take a ship to Somalia to stock up on weapons, then realize they can just take over Somalia with their Servants and live as kings before the various underworld/hidden organizations in the world would show up to try and stop them.

Doesn't the observer stop you from leaving the war?
>>43717830
Never, EVER, assume players will follow the rules unless they railroad themselves for the sake of story. They find a way.

Thread Question: We had a pretty good discussion about hooding on the tail end of the last general. What acts of good are you doing in the shadows, chummers?
>>43715415
New thread topic: Describe your groups first encounter with weaponized cybergenetalia. How did it go?
So... Say a Halloweener with a Miniwelder or Plassteel Chainsaw jumped on the roof of a moving vehicle wearing Magboots how many attacks should he be able to make before he makes a hole large enough for an Orc to jump through?
>>43715541
>Encountering weaponized cybergenitalia at all
Why do people do this?
Why not have a LCG thread? what are you playing? which are you planning to get? anything you want to see in a LCG format? Ashes and Doomtown are welcome too.
Currently playing and greatly enjoying Game of Thrones 2.0. My local group has picked it up as our L5R replacement until the LCG launches.
On that note, we were playing Doomtown pretty frequently, but due to how AEG handled the sale of L5R, we don't know if we want to continue.

Shit man, I'm right there with you
You are the head researcher at a government facility. Your sole responsibility is to teach the world's first autonomous AI, nicknamed Pandora, about life, the world and her existence.
Previously you tested out Pandora's new body with a little doctor-android dance to her and the R&D team's delight. Then decided to take a trip to the gym with Babsy to test Pandora's new body's physical prowess. Welcome back to Pandora Quest!
>Previous threads: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=pandora+quest
>Twitter: https://twitter.com/AM_in_PM
You explain the simple ideas of the weights and punching bags around the area to Pandora, showing her how it's done using somewhat embarrassingly light dumbbells. You hear light chuckles from some of the security team around you, but you brush it off. Pandora mimics your attempts, lifting some of the lighter weights slowly. She's not terribly good at it, with a maximum lift-strength of around 40 pounds at best, but she feels accomplished seeing what she can do.
You have her try hitting a bag next, only for her to not really know what to do. She seems to worry about being violent toward the bags after your long chat about hurting others. You assure her it's alright and that the purpose of these is to be punched to test yourself. You give it a few practice blows to show her to another murmur of laughs and whispers from security. Pandora timidly tries herself, but you can tell her heart's not really in it. Seems violence just isn't in her heart, or the equivalent, anyway. Still, you're proud of her for trying.
What should you try next?

>>43715435
I say try running, she might like the extra room to use. plus i feel her speed might be a little bit more of a better variable to test since physically lifting and hitting things have hard coded limits as compared to running.

Why are Dark Elves the best race?
First post!

only in UK and places like it.
in countries that don't have "ground floor" your post is second.
so, /whfb/ what are you working on?
tell us about your latest hobby projects!
TG, how do you weigh the "giants" of your setting? By giants, I mean humanoid creatures anywhere from 50% to 100% larger than your typical human, a la the picture on the left. Do you do a lazy scaling based on the creature maintaining standard human proportions and bodily diameters, or do you attempt to try and devise something biologically accurate/plausible, with the substantially thicker limbs and bones proportional to height, increased bone and muscle density, etc? What weight would you expect a 2.5-metre humanoid to have? How much stronger would you expect a "tribal" male of the species to be, as compared to a "tribal" male human?
relevant link
https://www.quora.com/How-biologically-plausible-are-giant-humans
>>43714816
I go for the lazy scaling. Past a certain height even changing the proportions doesn't make the giant any more biologically plausible, so I just assume that they have some exotic compounds in their tissues with strength to weight ratios sufficient for their size to work.
>>43714816
Is that a legit scale chart? Cause it's really unnerving.

Why is this a thing? This is not okay

It's a thing because people have shitty taste.
This isn't wow. Weapons and equipment doesn't stick to you on your own
Have you ever been on Earth?
Is it true you can go outside on Earth without a sealed suit and eat the things that fall from the sky?
It must be great to live there.
>>43714227
>eat the things that fall from the sky
>eat
Only if it is quite cold, most of the time you have to drink them.
>>43714227
Well, you technically can eat the things that fall from the sky, but they're not very tasty. The really good stuff is the stuff that come out of the ground. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. The natives showed me this thing called "potatoe" and it was to die for.
>>43714252
ARE YOU FROM EARTH?
>>43714331
I already know what flavor potato is.
Im rewriting the armor system for a game id like to riun with friends, i feel like its kind of ridiculous that armor only adds to the difficulty to land a hit on a target rather than softens the damage done to them. essentially as it stands you roll a d20 to hit and add their armor class to your roll, if its 20 or more you hit, anything else glances off. I was thinking of making chance to hit based on situational cover instead and armor just used to modify what damage is actually done if they do hit.
TLDR how do i convert number ranging 0-7 to a damage reduction modifier
>>43714195
Listen, OP, you sound like an OK guy, so I'm-a do you a solid here.
Thing is, I can either give you the answer straight, or I can shove you in the right direction and let you find out on your own. In one case, you get a fish. In the other, you learn how to fish.
And this question you're presenting to us sounds like it'd benefit by being thought of as, 'what is the best armor system in a game and why are you using it?' -- to which I'll say that most d20-based games are about quickly-resolving narrativist/gamist fun and not realism.
See, it looks like you want lots of modifiers and stuff for increasing and decreasing armor values. THat being the case, I can recommend a change of pace from the d20 to the d6 (as Shadowrun does it) or the 3d6 (as GURPS does it) or the d10 (as World of Darkness does it).
The exception I keep coming back to is Numenera -- viz d20-based games being gamist, that is.
God speed!
>>43714195
alright, i'll look into those. Thanks friend
What's the rest of the system? A static DR instead of AC will quickly become useless as characters start having 60+ HP and enemies are expected to throw out 2d12+14 damage per attack. DR either requires similar values of HP/Damage across the board or have it scale to HP.
Maybe ignore damage less than 1/X your character's max HP? Just an idea off the top of my head but that might be an easy-to-scale approach. 1/10 for light, 1/5 for medium, 1/3 for heavy? Or maybe X=(AC+3), so AC+7 (the worst, if I'm reading your post correctly) only stops attacks weaker than HP/10 while the AC+0 (the best) stops attacks weaker than HP/3. It's a bit mathier but you shouldn't need to crunch numbers in-game (you would only have to actually do the numbers when switching armor, and that isn't something that happens mid-combat).
Hey /tg/, would you say Judge Holden from Blood Meridian is Chaotic Evil or Lawful Evil?
>>43713731
very, very lawful evil
least chaotic of the party
>>43713918
Yeah, but his behavior, like when he throws a bunch of puppies in a river and starts shooting them, or when he rapes and murders that little kid, seems pretty chaotic evil, bordering on stupid evil, actually.
>>43713967
He has a very clear worldview and adheres to it closely. It's all in his sketchbook and notes.
Considering the traditional example of Hitler, the core of the Lawful Evil character isn't respect for laws and customs but self-consistency.
Hey, hey you, Heretic.
Get in here, this be a Heresy thread.
Did someone say heresy?
>>43713119
Does my girlfriend getting her period pleases Khorne or Nurgle? Or Slaanesh? Or, given that it aways comes during an exact time of the month (and that sometimes it's late), does it actually pleases Tzeentch?
Think about it?
>>43713214
Khorne. And if you fuck her on it, you please Slaanesh.
Hear ye, hear ye, I call to order another meeting of the Mage Guild. All arcanists concerned, please assemble.
As you're all aware, the useless hippies at the Circle of Druids managed to block our plan to blow up the moon at the Interguild Meeting, saying that the benefits of being able to study moon rocks didn't outweigh the drawbacks of tides becoming unpredictable. Now, it goes without saying that druids are useless leeches that should be put down for the good of everyone, especially their own children who no longer need to be contaminated by their stupid beliefs, but since we currently lack the authority to do such a thing, we'll have to think of another way to study moon rocks. Does anyone have any suggestions?
>>43713114
Now now, don't go getting upset with the Circle. They're just worried about the tidal shifts that the loss of the moon would cause.
As to the "moon rocks" query, there are about four or five spells that I can think of, off the top of my head, that could get one or two of your more trustworthy apprentices up there and back, alive. Send some skeletons and you drop it down to one: Cave's Dichromatic Portal.
Or just have your Eldritch specialist contact one of the Outer Gods, s/he won't miss the sanity they'll lose from it.
Moon rocks? Why study those, study the sun.
>>43713114
Perhaps we could simply transform something else into moon rocks, then study them? Like the forest the Circle of Druids meets in?

No.

What do you think? Do you think blocking almost all of the momentum of the bow so that the arrow only accelerates for about an inch is practical? Do you think that hitting your own neck with a bowstring that is provably capable of stripping flesh is practical?
A parody splat for nWoD that I we will build in this thread.
The characters can chose betweeen clans of freaks: Body Modifcators, Tattoo artists, biohackers, maybe Drug dealers.
They are rejects from the society but unlike every other nWoD splat they acquire no powers only more social problems.
Their enemies are angry moms, devote christians, and police officers.
What would be a game goal for a coterie of freaks? What would be in game consequences of acquiring eye tattoo, horns, rastas etc.?
but cute chicks remain cute even with mods...
When they meet vampires they assume vampires are just guys who modiefied their teeth and are too pussy to do any serious mod on themeslve.
