This week's Monday Meeting Notes:

>Question
How do you handle downtime?
What's the main difference between Dark Ages: Mage and Mage: The Sorcerers Crusade.
What are the best one to run a High-Fantasy game?
Which book are the Holy Engineers from Requiem in? I want to have a minor plot with Vampires involved in my upcoming Demon chronicle and want to skim them for ideas.
>>47943195
Nothing in that image makes sense.
I'm a newbie GM and I've recently been trying to write a new adventure. But I've been having troubles with railroading. I've realised that all of my plot hooks are essentially a way of forcing this new quest onto the players and that I'd have no ideia of what to do if they decided to do something somewhat different, or even going the opposite side of the hook entirely.
How do you deal with railroading? Do you just create a scenario and improvise the consequences of your player's actions throughout the whole thing? Or do you somehow give them a limited array of options for which the outcome you already know? Or do you do something else?
Also, where does "trying to keep them on the quest" stops and railroading begins?
Never try to anticipate a player's actions or necessarily force them down a path or adventure. Rather, write the story of what would happen /without/ any character intervention. In this way you have something to fall back to, a story players can get involved in but they aren't necessarily railroaded.
I.e:
Timmy falls down the well into dungeon
(quest to save timmy offered, could be ignored)
Timmy gets possessed by well demon
(quest to defeat well demon)
Timmy demon slaughters town and raises dead
(quest to defeat undead band)
etc... etc..
You feel?
>>47915129
Railroading isn't "Hey there's a wall here!" Its "Hey there are walls everywhere but here!"Its only railroading if they notice
have an idea but don't chisel the people or place chiseled in stone
Pitch the hook, not the adventure. The adventure is technically anything they decide to do after falling for the hook, so you should only have bullet points, locations, and NPCs ready to go should they stumble onto your breadcrumbs.

A question about Mage: The Awakening.
Soulstones allow you to create a demense of varying size and power based off of the number of soulstones you have. However, to me the text reads as though you only get credit for one of your own and any additional stones used to expand the demense must be from another mage. Is that the case?
If you buy multiple soulstones from the item section, can you not stack them and create a larger demense or do you have to find other soulstones while in the jump to make your demense bigger?
okay so I need to run a plan by you guys, since I know I'm bad with plans I want some eyes on it. I've got the entire Rick tree from Rick and Morty,and the dark star generator from supcom and those basketball sized combination universal adapter/supcom energy receivers could I use Rick and Morty Technology to go into the dark star generator and build some more Mantra generation worlds to increase my Mantra level further? also since I have Six bodies, due to taking Swarmlings as part of my personal strain in zurg can I use three of those bodies to act as the Mantra Foci for the other three to achieve level Eight? what about a companion?
>>47972784
Given your general lack of foresight and Rick's own tendency of getting himself killed you probably would have died in your chain a long time ago.
THIS IS THE LAST UPDATE I'll BE DOING FOR AWHILE! PLEASE DOWNLOAD THIS ONE IF YOU'RE TIRED OF MY SHIT!
>What the hell is Ops and Tactics and why did you write this?
Ops and Tactics is/was a rework of the terribly awful modern game D20 Modern that produces enough differences in said game to be considered it's own. It's goal was to do the following things
1. Make Combat more fluid and less rigid like the D20/D&D style outright demands.
2. Make it reflect the real attributes of weapons and armor, in a more realistic sense, while being as playable as possible.
3. Make everything else suck less, at least in my opinion.
4. Introduce a more modular way to handle magic, Incantations/Invoking(My own..thing), Psionics, and equipment. There is also a lot of equipment.
>Where is it?
www.opsandtactics.com. and opsandtactics.blogspot.com
>How did you do the things you said you did
1. Combat Points. Combat points are units of measurement that are spent during combat to do various actions that have values. For example, a character could spend all 15 of his combat points running in a straight line, moving 75 feet, gaining a +1 Bonus to defense for ever 10 feet after 30, due to it being implied through the rules that he was running, and shooting at running people is harder. Combat points may be spent however the character wishes, in any combination of actions or attacks(And there are a lot, for both melee and ranged fighters), without any real restriction, so long as what they can do is "legal" and they have enough points.
>>47966470
2.Firearms has been redesigned as a whole. Instead of going the (Default) generic route, I, as a firearms enthusiast, decided to stat out specific firearms due to their particular stats in the real world. As a side effect, there are a lot of guns. A lot. Melee weapons are also weighed into this, and various maneuvers are available. With the change that one can attack multiple times without some special feat bullshit, melee weapons become hilariously more dangerous than a firearm can be( with the right feat stack, one can stab someone 7 times at 2d4+1+ power) per stab.
3. A lot of common things have been removed, reworked, or expounded on due to major issues with them. The first and foremost of these are the Strength and Dexterity Bonuses. They have been worked in a way so that you divide your strength bonus between melee to-hit and melee to-damage, and divide your ex bonus between ranged to-hit and overall defense.
To add to this, there is recoil now, so Strength is quite important when you're trying to use guns that recoil heavier.

Alex you fat fuck fix the weeds.
>>47966505
Armory is the last book.
There aren't any monsters in any of these books yet, we're compiling them into the Field Identification Manual, which will basically have a bunch of monsters to use
Lastly is Advanced Arms!
I'm going to idle in the thread, answer any questions, and post some guns while I listen to some remixes.
Feel free to ask questions, shitpost, or provide some constructive criticism.

Any predictions on colorless Eldrazi from the new set? We know we're getting a minimum of 5 more. Will you be using them (assuming their effects work in line with Emerakul's mechanics?)
Personally, I run a colorless Eldrazi deck with newlamog as my commander. I'm stoked to finally have Emmy in my deck too. I have some processors wasting space in my deck, so I hope these new Eldrazi can take their place.
I use pic related in my Kalemne deck along with urza's incubator. I need to cast in fatties not cheat them in so it helps a ton. My friends and I are super kitchen casual though so my decks are far from optimized.
Anyone got some Super Spicy Secret Tech™ in UW

>Have to spend the rest of the game limiting my shenanigans else I'll get kicked out for disrespecting the fucker's waifu
Anyone else had a DM get possessive of a character?
If she's the guild's boss, I'd be more concerned about her ordering her minions to take you out into some alley and beat you for insolence. That, or just kicking you in the head.
>>47955051
>kicked for disrespecting a woman

Just leave. You're playing with a bunch of compulsive woman-respecters.

I'm disappointed OP.
Why did yugioh die? Magic has been around for almost 20 years or so and is just as popular as ever. Yet yugioh, literally the best selling card game of all time, died after barely 10 years of serious players. I still see it at conventions but NO ONE i know plays anymore.
>>47951327
What the fuck is yugioh?
>>47951327
It's not dead, but reasons for declining popularity is rarity gouging by the printers in non-JP markets by making important competitive cards that were common in JP the rarest cards in other countries, to the tune of $30, $50, $65, or even $100 each.
Also constantly invalidating old decks after very short periods and constant power creep, as well as sweeping mechanic changes such as synchros being made irrelevant by xyz, and now pendulums.
In short, greedy Asian parent company, much like how F2P games have.
Because the additions to the game were so incredibly stupid while Magic remained somewhat decent.
Stat him and I'll give you a mystery price.

You are Captain SAMANTHA WELLINGS, a newly minted captain of the Centauri Accord!
Currently, you've arranged a sort of cease fire with Carly, seeing as how she really wanted to see if Artya was okay. So, in the interest of that, you had her brought aboard the Gullinbursti and to the infirmary, where Artya was being kept.
"You're SURE that they didn't hurt you?" Carly asks her masked subordinate for what seems to be the hundredth time.
Artya silently nods again.
I'M TOTALLY FINE. HONEST. Artya writes. She was still dressed in a hospital gown, but she still had her mask firmly planted on her head.
"Just makin' sure." Carly growls as she shoots a suspicious eye at you.
"She's perfectly fine." Natalia assures you sister. "In fact, better than fine. We've treated her immunodeficiency disorder so she'd be able to live a normal life!"
"Pfffft, 'normal' life." Carly rolls her eyes, as if the mere thought was absolutely silly. "But I guess I owe you for that, at least. Except you've just COMPLETELY WRECKED MY SHIP!"
Carly did look rather understandably angry.

Personally, caught between the black dragons, the black Templars, and the blood Angels
I will always be partial to the BA as they were my first. I like the IF too because sieges. Executioners are my favourite if we're talking about niche chapters, they were absolutely badass during Badab.
Not many chapters that I really dislike honestly.
>>47943262
Pretty much every chapter without a real specialty likes to think of themselves as the dead 'ardest. I'm talking about people like Flesh Tearers, Carcharodons, Space Wolves, and Black Templars.
But the chapter which truly deserves that distinction, in my mind, are the descendants of Autek Mor himself: the Red Talons.
>>47943382
The iron hands and their descendants in general need more acnowledgement.

Does anyone else that big guys are more important/better in league formats than in open match making?
In a league you can roster and cut a big guy depending on your opponent so it is more tv independent and it helps protect your squad from attrition to have one
IMO merc big guys shouldn't cost the extra 40k or what ever to hire for a match

>>47931206
In RPM, how would I design a spell that would let me turn someone (either living, or a corpse) into an intelligent free-willed undead, such as a Vampire, Ghoul/Ghast, Wraith, Ghost, or Lich?
I mean actually creating undead, here, not "temporarily transforme into a lich".
And, if that's not possible per RAW, how would I (as GM) make that possible?
For that matter, is there a way to give a PC a template, other than having them save up and pay points to acquire it? What if the template's net value is 0 points?
>>47931975
Thats the downside of expecting the OP to start with a specific file. That file can't be posted until the old thread dies, which gets in the way of replacing an autosageing general when it hits page 8 or 9.
Honestly I suspect thats why the other generals use pastebins and google docs.

The new Thalia actually looks really good. Super excited to play with her in Legacy DnT, still got potential in Modern definitely.
New Lili is a shit. Reading her abilities (assuming the leak is even real). It's like they tried so fucking hard to recreate Veil Lili, without reprinting fucking Veil Lili. If baby Jace being 70 dollars for a long-ass time didn't create a impossible hurdle to play standard, then just fucking reprint Lilliana of the Veil.
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 removed the offending hardware that you suspect was giving Pandora her nightmares; a tiny wifi device hidden in her leg. You don't know who did it, but your list of suspects is shortening by the minute.
You checked Ares to make sure Pandora's substantially more dangerous brother wasn't compromised either and he was given a clean bill of health much to your relief.
After making sure everything was alright on their end, you went over to R&D to check on things with the cyborgs only to catch Mouse in the middle of attempting to attack a man twice her size. You calmed her down enough to get her to see reason somewhat, but only until she found someone else to focus her anger on: Snowglobe, whom you then discovered was apparently in possession of a firearm. Something that is very much against the rules of the Facility. Mouse is now accusing him of being the culprit, while he is saying the same of her. Never a dull moment.
Welcome back to Pandora Quest!

The gun sits on the table in several pieces, the whole team sitting in silence as Mouse stands there, smugly triumphant. Snowglobe has backed away, what you can best assume is worry or mild panic. You admit, this is very suspicious...
