Explain your setting you wanker.
Let's play a game, /tg/. A game anyone may play.
I would like you to play as yourself, the anon behind the screen. If that is difficult, you may invent a character, any character. For maximum enjoyment, I recommend not giving your invented character too many benefits.
Now, then. How good is your memory of the past 24 hours?

Do not worry if your memory is poor. If anything, you will benefit the most from this game.
I did forget to say one thing. The setting of the game will be this current-day Earth. If you want to involve a character that's not part of this Earth, include some way to send them here: magic, divine intervention, portals, the Akasha Corridor, whatever.
Again, all my questions are open for anyone to answer.
It is 22:00 4chan time right now. What time is it in your area?

pretty good
How are you resisting not getting this, /tg/?
Because it's stupidly fucking expensive?

I have enabling parents who make a combined $350,000 a year and fully support my NEET lifestyle though

is it a specialty GW games? like blood bowl, mordheim, necromunda, inquisitor, gorkamorka , epic, Battlefleet Gothic, man 'o war.........
Hey /tg/ can you help me figure out how to price a fantasy slave market?
I am assuming some flat stuff like:
>longer-lived species (elves, dwarves, etc) will increase the price
>studier species (dwarves, orcs, etc) will increase the price
However maybe halflings would be valuable as cupbearers or factory workers or something? And maybe orcs wouldn't be that valuable because they have short lifespans (does lifespan even matter for salt miners or whatever, for instance)?
Any advice on how slave...

What, are you using D&D?
Take the monthly cost for hirelings, make it a one-time, up front cost with only small monthly payments for upkeep, but impose penalties on morale/loyalty.

Well, when slavery was at its height in America and you could still import new slaves from Africa, they went for the equivalent of what today would be about $15,000 per slave.
Slaves are one of the most prized possessions. Why? Because they are the most capable resource one can have. They can be trained to do whatever you want, they are capable of reasoning.
So already the slaves will be expensive(say, in the tens of thousands of dollars range) due to how versatile a tool the slave is. This does not account for the other expenses though.
Shipping the slaves can either be nearly zero(kidnapped a hobo from the street) to being exorbitant(a slave from far off lands, beyond our continent).
Then there is the general health and well-being...

The Emperor, is all of his power, is reborn when the clock strikes Midnight on 999 M41
The Astronomicon is brighter than it has even been before with the Emperors RAGE for what has befallen mankind, and Terra is no longer at risk of being swallowed by the Warp, and the Golden Throne has been repaired back to 100% functionality. The Imperial Web way is now being worked on again by a bunch of very confused Tech Priests who were to sacred to question a 12 foot tall Golden God who was yelling at them.
How any of this happened is any ones guess.
beyond that,...

Ever watched If The Emperor Had A Text-To-Speech Device?
How would you do a thief or a rogue in D&D (hell, in general) that actually breaks the mold of the stereotypical ways these characters are often expressed? I'm trying to come up with an intresting character for a game, and I can't really find any good ways to make the character jump out. Usually, I try to find one good, strong, colorful idea that really makes the character come to life and feel like an actual main character (in a cast of main characters, I mean). Something that doesn't actually have much to do with the character class or such, but is mostly...

Okay, so. The generic rogue in D&D or similar assumes some very specific things about your characters. Firstly, he does illegal shit. He gets into wrong places, he knows how to get there unseen, he can pick pockets, stab people in the soft bits and otherwise is quite professionally predisposed to doing things you're bit supposed to do. It's also fair to assume that he purposefully learned these things (willingly or out of necessity, although the latter is overdone and boring as fuck).
That's something you can't really change, it's the basic...

So, you're not a thief any longer. No, you're not reformed in that "I-wanna-do-good-now" -sense. Maybe something happened that made you realize how shitty being a thief could be, but it's not about redemption. It's about making a better living, where people actually LIKE you for doing what you do, instead of hating you. It's about getting paid for what your did, not paying fines. Keep quiet about your past, turn a new leaf, be a professional. Thievery? You don't...

Works as a religious assassin and uses the slain's wealth to further the reach of the church.
Highwayman who is in it more to pay off his debts, played like the Highwayman from Darkest Dungeon
A hook and shortsword fighting bounty hunter accustomed to fighting in groups.
Are there any systems out there with interesting health systems? I don't care if it's locational or whole body.
Things like seventh sea's cuts and wounds or shadowrun's physical and stun damage tracks, I mean. I'm getting tired of games where all characters and monsters are just HP sponges whose actions are a switch between CAN DO ANYTHING AT ALL TIMES and DEAD
any games out there* i mean
shit

I'm in a Dresden Files RPG campaign (based on FATE. I'm not sure quite HOW much of DFRPG comes from it though). In it, you have physical, social, and mental STRESS tracks. They're like health bars in that they soak up damage, kicking you out of combat once it overflows. HOWEVER, if an attack is going to overflow your stress track, you can take a consequence instead. This can be used by your foes to help in their opposed rolls. Mild consequences can be healed in about a session. More severe ones may...

In Shinobigami, your character takes damage directly to their skill list, locking out one of the columns for each point of damage you take. Since the game uses a defaulting system based on how far apart different skills are, it means that it potentially becomes harder to succeed on rolls the more damage you take, as more and more of your skills become locked out due to damage.
Sup /tg/. I'm going to be GM'ing for the first time soon and I want to start simple. So I was wondering what a good system for general fantasy might be? (besides DnD and Savage Worlds. We're a bit burnt out on those two.)
I've been thinking about using Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, the Storyteller System (WoD, VtM, etc) or possibly RuneQuest. Are there any systems you think would be better?
On top of that, if there are any brief, but fun modules you could recommend to a first time GM that would be awesome.
-and lastley if you have any advice...
