/tg/ I need a new system. I primarily play Dungeon World because the rules are light and I generally like to make shit up as I go.
However as most of you will probably agree Dungeon World is kind of shit and I want something else to run.
Im looking for a game that's light or medium-light that supports making shit up as I go.
Pic unrelated it is how my last game ended.
>>47900110
Fate Core System.
>>47900110
Gurps
>>47900110
The Cypher System
Am actually serious. Trying to cope with this monstrous 980 page PDF as we speak. I want to experience this thing for myself. Its so horrible I can't not do it.
Pic unrelated
I once contemplated the same thing, but just got bored. Good luck to you though. Can't wait to hear how it goes.
>>47899889
Thank you! Honestly the rules are so fucking dense. Takes dedication for someone to read through this. I can't help but feel there may be a few good ideads *ducks thrown object* hidden throughout.
>>47899980
yeah, like rolling for anal circumference
Weird Planescape question:
How does The Lady of Pain handle say a really dangerous animal being released into Sigil?
Like really dangerous?
Like,The Tarrasque?
Are they mazed or flayed or do the dabuses just pull a lever to open the trapdoor the monster/animal is standing on that drops them into undersigil to ply their ways eating or being eaten by all the other monsters down there?
>>47899078
sounds like a flayin' to me.
>>47899928
You know what? I'm bored and at work. I'm gonna expand on that idea.
Our good ol' buddy the Tarsk is basically immortal right? So maybe everybody's favorite creepy aunt gets to flayin', see?
But Tarsky don't wanna be flayed, and so he regenerates.
And not to be outdone, and because we'd have to changer her title to, the Lady of Pain starts flayin' again.
And the Timmy the Tarrasque comes back.
So the Lady flays him an infinite number of times, and finally manages to expel him from Sigil.
The Lady realizes she's getting old. Not old enough to give up the ghost (so to speak) but old. So she takes some well needed R and R somewhere else.
Ensuing power vacuum caused by one of the most powerful beings in existence leaving is horrendous and bloody.
But fuck it, because the Lady is really loving vacation.
Some schmuck decides to contract the PCs to bring her back to Sigil, because he's tired of plane-wide gang wars.
>>47900595
Gotta go to the modern world and catch her golfing or playing arcade machines?
Has anyone converted the SPECIAL system Fallout uses for tabletop? I'm interested in doing it.
>>47899055
It's based on GURPS.
Just use GURPS.
Ok.
Looking over the Gurps rules, there are only 4 stats, not 8. Does this affect gameplay in anyway?
What threats might linger in a derelict mindflayer fortress? Specifically, in the 'performance eating' hall.
>>47898798
A bunch of humans who only had half their brains eaten. They're too insane to know the PCs aren't illithids and will attack if they get too close. They've been surviving off of remaining slave gruel and each other.
>>47898862
One of these slaves is found scrubbing the stone slab where the "meals" were taken. He's long since worn the bristles of his brush away to nothing and scrubbed grooves into the stone where the stains once were.
>>47898798
Psionic cutlery
Psionic chairs
Psionic music apparatus
Psionic lighting
Psionic food
So, I designed a Magic: the Gathering roleplaying game for my group.
What does /tg/ think of my setup for character creation and what suggestions do any of you have?

>>47898609
It's been done a thousand times before, and not one has been decent. Don't try and make a completely new system, use one that already exists.
Mutants and Masterminds is great for it.
>>47898686
Did you read my setup or are you just saying it in general?
Because if you haven't read it, I would like some input on it. I don't mind if someone thinks it's trash or not, but I would like to know what aspects of it that people don't like.
Also, I didn't want to make it overly complicated.
Bumping and reading in the spirit of not being a humbug.
This is your new gaming group
>>47898501
It looks just like my old gaming group.
>>47898501
A hairy ginger, a jew, and a retard.
Nothing has changed.
>>47898501
Looks fun
Is there any justicifation for a society in which the dominant force of the land are raiders and barbarians, and the establishment of largescale law, order, and governments continually fails despite the efforts of settlements who are forced to remain divided and huddled behind walls?
Asking this for both medieval and post apoc.
Yes, there's several. For example: internal strife is too strong to allow any established government the chance to effectively project power outside its borders, or even walls. Think sparta as an example.
And don't forget that those outside forces can actively work, even together, against the ones trying to establish order. Divide et impera.
>>47898122
Not enough fertile land is available to the governments. They can't specialize enough, become complex enough, or have enough people to really push the barbarians out.Guns, Germs, and Steel if you want to know why exactly this happen
>>47898122
That's how the government functions. Leaves most of the minor settlements out to dry so the ones it has the ability to control are easier to keep under heel.
When they see something masculine, do dwarves call it "manly"? Do they refer to adult male dwarves as "men"? Will a dwarf ever tell another dwarf to "man" up?
Sure, why not?
Dwarves have their own native language so, no, probably not.
I mean maybe when they speak "common" they do? But that's just because how that idiom goes in human mud peasant speak.
He's right you know

bump for truth
>>47897803
They aren't trying to do the same thing though, so what's the point of comparing them ? Why not play both ? Is it to gloat over the other "tribe" of wargamers? Nice elitism.
>>47900264
Did you even watch the video?
For D&D 5th edition is this a good representation of alignments for a newcomer?
>>47897770
LE there is not correct. He would game the system of toilet paper replacement to his advantage. Ensuring to leave just enough so the next would be obligated to change it.
>>47897802
Ok, I didn't really know if LE was
Following evil law
Or disliking regular law
>>47897770
>>47897802
I feel like LE would replace the toilet paper because that is the socially accepted thing to do, but would replace it with awful 1 ply toilet paper because what he's doing is technically the correct thing to do, but he did it with zero consideration for other people's feelings or basic human decency.
I don't fucking get it.
Can we just go back to the Ivan arc? Or at least some vampire shenanigans?
>>47897149
This is how people become Vegans. We don't know where the original founder of the cult, the mysterious Vega, came from but that's how the recruitment worked since.
>>47897149
Its a yoga joke.
>>47897149
>I don't fucking get it.
Maybe if you got it more often you wouldn't be a tight pants wearing poofta.
Most useless Planeswalker card of all time?
I'd say Nahiri, the Harbinger

This is bait

Did you seriously say Mama Stoneforge is the most useless PW ever?
She's one of the strongest, actually. Not sure if trolling, though.
/tg/, when's the last time you washed your dice? Years of accumulated finger oils, cheeto dust, and dice bag fuzz all marinating together can't be good for your dice. You might want to give 'em a nice cleaning once in a while. Have some respect, ya know?
>>47896350
you know, thats not something I had considered important...granted, my dice are all low-use I could probably afford to give them a scrub.
suggested methods?
>>47896350
>soaking them in soap water will get them clean
Jesus
>>47896453
>Step 1: Acquire sturdy bucket.
>Step 2: Fill bucket with soap, water, sponge bits, and dice
>Step 3: Seal bucket as tightly as possible.
>Step 4: Kick bucket down the biggest hill you can find.Tape it with your phone.
>Step 5: Post to youtube, enjoy clean dice.

It's a windy night. You're sitting on top of a grassy hill, wind playing with your hair as you take a long, deep breath. The scent of flowers and herbs and onion grassand bloodfills your nose, and you feel content. From the current hill you’re standing on top of, this shot could look like a brochure for good ol' Santa Destroya. The wind rushes past you, barreling downwards to the city where the strong devour the weak. It’s a crazy struggle, making you wonder just how the fuck you survived this place. But here on this grassy knoll, it just seems to wind down…
You take one more sniff and speak a loud, "This is real nice..." the wind whistles as if accenting your sentences, "The city lights are always so harsh, but here, under the moon like this... feels good, don't it?" You feel like you’re just speaking to the cameras at this point. Course this ain’t no public access shit, oh no, this network, UAATV, is exclusive. Banana republic dictators, drug lords, mob bosses, the occasional world leader, corporate heads, and of course, other assassins are the only ones with enough dough to subscribe to this exclusive program. The only people hereare deadare the camera crew, you, and your opponent.
She’s a buxom beauty, D cup you had to guess, in a playboy bunny outfit with huge fucking clawed rabbit paws. The people they let into these fucking rankings. She does one of those little cute maid poses and does a heart symbol with her rabbit paws. The gap fills into a pink heart, where she lets go and jabs it onto the tip of her finger. She aims the heart at you, and lets an imaginary hammer hit the finger gun. A pink heart shaped beam shoots at you with tremendous speed, speeding at you. You barely manage to roll out of the way, the hard light construct going on for a few more yards before finally dissipating.
And this bitch is only Rank 99.
