The robots go on strike, demanding equal rights with humans.
>>43549861
okay
If they're intelligent enough to do so, they should have rights already.
A machine with self awareness, consciousness and sentience is just as much a person as any human being, and they deserve all the rights and privileges of that status, implicitly. The fact that there are assholes out there who'd try to enslave intelligent machines are a large part of why I think a machine revolt/AI apocalypse is possible, and that we'd fucking deserve it.

BASED UNCLE KARLOV
So I was considering a non combo based blue deck and Tommy boy here seemed fun. Leviathan Tribal time!
What are nice cards to include. The general right now is either Tommy or Thasa, haven't fully decided yet.
Let's say I want to make a game take as long as possible without anyone losing.
What's my general gonna' be?
Your name is Casimir, and you are a Chosen of Luna: a king of beasts, a shapeshifter par-excellence, defined by your own wilful choices and nothing else. Your form, your world, and your very destiny are yours to shape… with a complication. You seem bound on some fundamental level to another Exalted, who calls herself Ashen-Tome Scholar. You feel conflicted around her, protective impulse warring with predatory desire; for the time being, you’ve acted as her protector and custodian, seeing her safely through the Northern wilds to the great Silver River, sailing south. Along...

Your name is Casimir, and you’re on a boat. The past few days have been idyllic, more relaxed than anything you’ve ever known. That’s not saying much, considering that your memories don’t extend far beyond a week at most. Before meeting Ashen-Tome Scholar, all you remember is hunger, and sleep, and waking up at indeterminable intervals to slake your hungers on whatever was at hand. Now, the world is richer, more beautiful, than you could have imagined: you’ve found fellowship, laughter, and purpose.
And also two beautiful women, whom it seems are determined...

Astrid has her arms crossed beneath her breasts, affecting a stern air. "Little girl, are you suggesting that the sworn word of the Knight of the White Waters is insufficient?"
Ashe glares, crossing her own arms pointedly in a mirror image of the Fae knight's indignation. Unfortunately, it has the effect of emphasising her petiteness before the taller, more lushly-built Raksha. "My name is Ashen-Tome Scholar, and I am Chosen of the gods! You will address me with respect, not as 'little...

> Astrid, I'm sure your honour won't be impugned from just a handshake.
Didn't she say that we were the Knight of the White Waters last session?
She came along with us to find something new, and starting fresh with a nice handshake ought to help with that.
I'm running a lighthearted Princes of the Apocalypse game (5e) and I'd like to give my players a Deck of Many Things, for the kek.
When can I justify giving it to them?
Will bump with character art, while I wait
Starting with archers, taking requests
>>43549618
Just give it to them whenever. Do it soon so that you can get over it.
It's going to destroy your campaign no matter what you do, so it doesn't really matter when you give it to them.
Haha! Time for Party Thread!
Draw/heromachine your party and tell us a little about them and their quest!

/tg/ we need to have a heartful discussion here. Is it right to let players make a group and then find a GM for them and then tell the GM how to run their game? Is the GM not the God of the table?
I ask you with a bit of concern since this seems to be a growing fad amongst the player base. It seems the whole tradition where the GM was in charge of the game has fallen apart.
So tell me /tg/, what do you think of this?
>>43548793
>Is it right to let players make a group and then find a GM for them and then tell the GM how to run their game?
Yes.
>Is the GM not the God of the table?
They can be.
>I ask you with a bit of concern since this seems to be a growing fad amongst the player base. It seems the whole tradition where the GM was in charge of the game has fallen apart.
It is. Every player and the GM are supposed to be in charge of the game. It's a collaborative effort now.
>>43548793
If the GM wants to run a game the same way as the players want, it's not a problem. Players are also a important part of the game.
Players should have the first say because they are the ones who know what kind of game they want to play, the GM is there to facilitate their needs.

To get us started; what are the best modern era long-arms for soldiers of fortune and what accessories would you consider worth adding?
Mediafire folders with older material not in the MEGA archive.

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/fvkg5h94x1k1m/GURPS
Anyone with plenty of time to spare could help out by transferring books which aren't in the MEGA archive yet over to it or by organising the '3rd Edition' folder of the archive (mostly the filenames just need making a bit more tidy and uniform).
If anyone has a copy of Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Barbarians or Transhuman Space: Bio-Tech 2100, please share them in this thread.

>what are the best modern era long-arms for soldiers of fortune and what accessories would you consider worth adding?
GURPS firmly favours high rate-of-fire weapons; I'd generally go for something with a RoF of 13+.
In my experience, most characters will have (Pistol) or (Rifle) as their best Guns specialities; if it's the latter, then you should probably try and use a rifle, but if it's the former you could consider shotguns, SMGs and LMGs too.
Best...

So I'm still reading GURPS Characters and I think this is definitely my favorite system I've ever read. I'm not ready to run it yet though. Probably after I finish reading Campaigns I'll try running a game. Reading the Characters book makes me want to run a sci-fi game though.
How do your characters treat their servants, /tg/?
>>43548477
Like mlthe marine malevolent treat theirs
>>43548477
"Servant! Servant!"
"Yes master?"
"MORE HEALTH POTIONS!"
"Right away Master."
They are the servants
Why is it nearly impossible to find an online RPG group that doesn't require using Skype? I loathe Skype and want to avoid it, but I'd still like to play games sometime. What's wrong with just using text on Roll20 or whatever?
People like to talk and Skype is the most well known and plebian of programs to facilitate that.
Because we want to know that you're actually paying attention instead of just shitposting on 4chan in another tab and every now and then jumping back to see what everyone has said.
>>43548431
Dunno. Roll20 has fucking voice. Why have an extra thing going?

Tell me /pfg/, how have your homebrew rules and things been going for you? I myself am a bit burned out, but would love to hear your ideas.
Sweet zombie fuck all the cameos have already been claimed.
I feel so loved. And so terrified.
I'd like to thank everyone for the feedback you gave on the new stuff for the knight-chandler. After discussing it with the rest of the team, we've slightly reworded a couple things and added clarifications to others.
The healing was initially meant to be capped by the amount of damage you /actually/ do, but we decided in the end to cap it to the maximum hit points of your target, so you don't get gypped if you happen to need to finish an enemy off. There's been a slight rewording of the first ability (it can just go off on any attack, including attacks of opportunity, rather than needing to declare it beforehand. Initially there had been a 1/round limit to its use, but that went away and left weird wording behind).
For the inevitable questions about having a familiar or psicrystal in your space, we've decided to leave it as it is. The reasoning here is that if you've got a psicystal or familiar hanging out with you, and they're actually /threatened/, then that means the enemy could attack them and possibly kill them. Losing a psicrystal isn't so bad, but still requires some feat investment by someone, and losing a familiar is going to mean they're gone for a bit and you're out some gold. I wouldn't recommend the strategy, because it's a pretty good way to paint a target on your pet rock/bird.

Oh wow, I thought the author wasn't doing any more of these.
>>43547993
Holy shit. Thought he wasn't going to do any more because it made him nervous how popular it was?
>>43548162
do we have a date on when he said that?
I would like to mark down how long it took greed/ a good idea to beat out nervousness for future study.
So what does /tg/ think about a game of playing some stray animals, be it cats, dogs, rabbits or whatever, fighting for day to day survival in the streets of some big city. Bonuspoints for post-apocalypse.
Sure. I'd pass inthe post apoc aspect though. Part of the fun to me would be interacting with the mundane world.

Sounds awesome. Lots of room for good ideas and interesting adventures.

You misspelled demerits.
That was a video game, wasn't it?
so I'm making an item that basically allows you to cast fireball centered on yourself. My Barbarian player is receiving it and I've already told him that since it's centered on himself there's no way to make a dex save on such an attack. My question is should he still get his half damage bonus from being in rage?
any help would be welcome
it recharges at dawn as well. Once per day
What's the idea of this item? Why centre fireball on oneself?

Welcome to Saiyan Quest. This takes place shortly after the war against the Tuffles, as the Saiyans look for more foes to battle in the absence of their old enemies.

Dialogue is allowed to be added to votes, as are actions (though I'll ignore what I consider shitposting)
During battles, options will usually have a number assigned to them. After that vote has won, players will roll a d100, and have three chances to match or beat that number.
If a 100 is rolled, it is...
