It's Da Archive! Your Entire Life Has Been Leading Up To This Moment! .
It Will Be The Best 8 Hours Of Your Gaming Career!
YOUR HARD DRIVE WILL HAVE MORE THINGS STUFFED IN IT THAN A COSPLAY HOOKER AT A CON.
STEP 1 Go to the last thread if you haven't looked at it. Here>> >>>>47437720 it has a ton of stuff I don't want to repost. Look through the the posted open source pdfs and Da Pretty Maps.
STEP 1.5 Grab your Documents: Da Archive is now multiple documents.
Da Archive: Bigger, and maybe bettter than ever.
Da Archive Annex is where the newest links go.before I scrub them and put them in Da Archive.
Da Archive for Avast Anons is the May 8 version which should work properly for them. This version will not be updated.
STEP 2 Get a coffee or other beverage, get comfortable and browse through the blasted thing. It is only 35 pages long. If you skim over the Personal Collections without really looking you will miss 10,000 pdfs.
STEP 3
Please give as much information as you can when you make a request. The more information you give (cover, a link to product, name of designer/writer/publisher) - the more chances someone might recognize it and upload it.
STEP 4 If you need more, go to 4plebs, it makes Da Archive look puny.
STEP 5 Please be patient with the irrepressible urchins who request without looking first. They help bump the thread, and they want to look at something that's not porn. They might even read it. You don't have to answer them, although that also bumps the thread.
STEP 6 Rumors of Da Archivist being an A.I. from the Deep Web are unfounded.
Please only post open source pdfs directly on the board. link the others from elsewhere.
Excessive infractions could cause TPTB to remove the ability to post any pdfs at all.
Check for copyrights before you post anything directly.
Please be respectful and don't belittle others' requests because you dislike the game. Imagine the horrific RPGs I've run across. 'Dragon Dildo Warriors', 'Cheetos & Dew', and 'We're All Little Girls (Frilly Dresses Are Mandatory At the Table)' spring to mind.
If any kind Anon has the main directory links for Anon Y Mous, Samurai Flix Lover, Neon Samurai, and Alex 3 on Mediafire, please post them.
Anonymous recently said; 'I've always wondered whatever happened to Gryphon, he was a good lad. Probably...

This Is The AVAST Friendly Version
This is an older copy of Da Archive posted for the benefit of a few Avast Anons who are having difficulties with the main document.
I have determined to the best of my ability that the Avast trigger is a false positive. 55 other antivirus programs liked it. Avast actually triggers irregularly on most of my different pdf copies of Da Archive, not just the latest one. I use Open Office to work the document. None of the links on any of the copies of the odt document trigger Avast.
My apologies to Avast users for their software being...

Suffering.
I always thought that humanity would be a force for good in the universe.
Instead we turned out to be evil and sadistic conquerors.
Nature does not recognize good and evil. Humans have just upped the scale. Lion could kill lots of gazelles, but would not, because he's going to kill one and eat it. He's not smart enough to herd gazelles and make them fat and destroy their natural habitat to make a lion's den. But he totally would.
>>47707789
Think about it like this. Everything in humanity was developed by humanity, whether an oginal idea or copying something that was observed in nature.
So all of the depraved, irredeemable, insufferable actions and ideas are within us all. That is the nature of a human, to survive, off others, in spite of others, to serve only myself.
>>47707789
Do you call parasites "evil and sadistic"? Do you call wolves hunting deer "evil and sadistic"? What about eagles fishing? How about deers eating plants? Its just their nature, our nature. It's the niche we fill in the natural order and the natural order isn't evil or sadistic or good or right, it just "is".
Last time on Song of Swords:
Two guns at once
More tournament prep
Some campaign storytimes
The history of matchlocks
Song of Swords is a realistic fantasy tabletop RPG that draws inspiration from historical fechtbuchs, weapons and armor. Its combat system is fast and it can be used for both fantasy and historical/mundane settings.
Call of the Void is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Its combat system is more modern, based in the early 20th century, but can probably handle combat up to the present day.
Here's a .rar archive with the newest version of the rules as well as all related current working documents. At this time the latest version is v1.9.9:

There's also a roll20 room where new players are encouraged to try the rules, test new rules, and find game breaking issues: https://app.roll20.net/join/346755/hRKd4w
The room might be empty, but the people who teach the game still browse the thread frequently. If you're looking to learn, post here in the thread. We also play Guy Windsor's card game Audatia in the room.

I come with a question.
Right now, I'm running a 17th century Song of Swords game set in the Deluge. The players are hunting an asshole mercenary who's running amok through Poland and Ukraine. Pure historical, and great fun. We're going to continue at it for weeks to come.
However, I'm also thinking of some ideas for a later game, with a bit more fantasy. The current idea involves an unholy mixture of the Thirty Years War, the American Civil War, and the Meiji Restoration. I'm...

Yeah, it'd be fine.
Allright /tg/ since we seem to have been having fun with these so far,and im fucking bored and dont want to do my jobpick whether we generate a Space Marine Cadre or a Tau Chapter.
Lets make it a dice roll to get into things.
00-49=Chapter
50-100=Cadre

Rolling for Tau
>>47705909
Fail on the first roll, that does not bode well.
Space Marine chapter it is, roll me a d10 for reason behind its founding.Maybe we will roll up some Tau for these boys to fight when we are done.

Vikings and pirates are awesome adventurers but bandits are crossing the line? What kind of fuking logic is that? They all do the same shit - attack unarmed people for personal gain yet somehow bandits are the scum. Is it because they don't have boats?
>>47691552
It is because straigh-up bandits rarely get some romanticised bullshit, unlike pirates or vikings.
All are the same scum
>>47691561
Highwaymen are pretty romanticized. Robin Hood as well I guess
As well as the Betyars of Hungary.
Do you have any specific RPGs in your country that arent known to broader public? Are they original and different than you can find in classic american system? Share your knowledge i'm very interested in little known rpgs.
I'l start with Poland
When tg hobby started in poland it was very difficult to get any rpg books from west so in no-time they made original "Kryształy Czasy" which translates to "Crystals of Time". And it was horrible. Running joke in our comunity is that you need a calculator per player to run it.

>Sweden
We have quite a few rpgs here, some are better known like Kult and (what came to be) Mutant Chronicles, but there's a lot of smaller local IPs of various genres as well.
Our long-time runner, Drakar och Demoner [dragons and demons, D&D lol but much better rule system] has existed since 1982, has been many swe/tg/'s first roleplaying experience and has had a decent reformat in the last ten or so years. Trying to focus on a more traditional folk-tale setting (pic related), rather than the cardboard standard fantasy...

Klanarchia seems cool, reminds me of Tribe8?
>What is Unknown Armies?
Unknown Armies is a system for playing in a modern fantasy setting filled with postmodern magic, new age weirdness, and conspiracies.
It's been a while since we've last had one of these. How many of you are playing the new edition now that it's out?
>>47690481
>now that it's out
Post it or it didn't happen.
All that was released was the gamma (sic!) text for the new rule books afaik.
>>47690481
Yeah, I don't think it's out.
>Repo Man was so great. Repo Men...not so much.
>>47691914
>>47690908
The gamma test material is over 400 pages long, yeah it doesn't have pictures and needs some rewrites, but to me that qualifies as out. I've played 3 games using only the new rulebooks already at this point.
I need some cool ideas for cool traps and annoyances for my players. Because I think I've overplayed the spike pit, giant boulder and tripwire tropes enough.
Mimics, anon
That chair? A mimic.
That partially emptied glass of water? Mimic.
The little girl in the corner? Two mimics and an onahole.
That delightfully refreshing bath? A mimic wrestling a gelatinous cube.

Illusions are a go to in a number of situations.

>The little girl in the corner? Two mimics and an onahole.
If the onahole isn't also a mimic, you're doing something wrong.

Does it bother anyone else that so many sci-fi franchises/settings use 20th century naval terms like "destroyer," "cruiser," and "battleship" to mean "small," "medium," and "large," or am I just a lone autist?
I don't think it's that hard to come up with descriptive names for ship types based on what they actually do - as destroyer, cruiser, and battleship were originally.
>>47700652
>Destroyer, cruiser, and battleship
>to mean small, medium, or large
>Clearly doesn't know a damn thing about ships
>>47700652
Why create completely new words when it is perfectly viable to just reuse naval terminology?
If we make a gun that shoots different sized bullets, do we have to call it a smallshootbang? If someone creates a drink to get you sober, do we call it a sober instead of a beverage?
I think you're just a lone autist, anon.
>>47700652
What's always bothered me is speaking about spaceships and space travel with the same terms for sea vessels. Why is space an ocean? Is it just for ease of use?
