I've actually yet to come across a game with what I would consider sub-par components, so I can't really say. Unless you mean like shiny FFG miniatures vs GMT counters, in which case the answer is no.
>co-op, or lamentations of their women
Lamentations.

Exodus: Proxima Centauri is preeetty rough.

First edition, I mean.
Second ed seems to have come after a cash infusion.

Also, it may be a good idea to include the names of each game in the filename.
Because I need to know like half of yours.

(Gentlemen, for those not up to speed: In our previous episodes, the Smilers succeeded in seizing control of the Diadem, and proceeded to bombard the city of Arcadia. Hundreds of people were incinerated in the barrage. Others were harvested by Players, or torn apart by the Cryptids unleashed from the Diadem.
You gathered a strike team of Armaros, the Thief, Daegal, Rook and Distortion Haze to infiltrate the Diadem via a teleportation portal, with the intent to sabotage it from within and stop the slaughter....

Are your PCs even friends, or just fellow mercenaries that tolerate each other because their players don't want friction?

the later, but my runner's fondness for explosives means it's less then tolerate.
Fun fact: If a johnson pisses you off, a car full of ANFO does NOT get you future jobs.

Kind of in between, generally, only occasion I can think of where our characters became full-on friends was a 5e D&D game awhile back, my Shadowrun group seems to be working toward that, though.
>>47534637
Me and the barbarian and a increasingly-not-so-friendly rivalry going on, Me and the paladin disagree because I want to built a mind control device powered by fragments of pure evil to force everyone to be good, and me and the swashbuckler a good buddies who want to make the world a better place. We are bound together because we are the chosen ones, but it looks like the party may split in to two as we approach the climax of the story.

To the anon from the previous thread, I use
http://www.naturalcrit.com
Standard markdown type stuff, with the added benefit of "printing" it as a pdf file like I did mine.
Also, reposting V5, cause I was on the ass end of the last general.
>>47531341
I prefer divine sense. The game was already going that way everytime they revised detect evil, and 5e's authors obviously wanted alignments to stop being a crutch for bad roleplayers.
The idea that they detected supernatural evil was already hinted at back in 2E even (where they flatly state it won't ping just because you've got a merchant with an E alignment, he's got to be actively going full Shylock about it)
I dunno if I've done well or fucked up horribly. I'm running HotDQ and my players came to really like an NPC slated to die and now they're ready to murder the whole caravan if it means getting revenge.
Welcome back, Kestrels, to the twenty-seventh installment of Mecha Space Pirate Quest! Now that the dust has settled, you are Admiral Roarke S. Starwind, leader of the Iron Kestrels space pirate fleet, master of the starship Rhinehawk, and pilot of the still-undefeated Knuckle Kaiser.

First and most important. The official story is that you are holding Corporal Samantha Blanchett and her mech, the S-Betta, hostage. You know this isn't true, but it's keeping her out of trouble.
Now, however, there are no more distractions and sham negotiations, you and the Colonel are both on Auditorium and you have to get this worked out. What do you want to do? She wants to stay, of course, but how do you frame that to the military?
>>47531444
Ask about Moe and what he's planning, then segue into Sam and what she's planning I guess
>>47531444
Purposefully highball then and end up not accepting any terms

Hobos who commit murder. Occasionally against other murderhobos.
So... both?

It's semantics.
Ivory white with black dots are the best d6s.

Nigga wat are you talking about unbalanced?
We all know and hate edge, but I feel in our hate we have allowed something almost as heinous to go unpunished. The opposite of edge: smooth, pillowy feeling... ??
I don't know what to call it, but ITT we share stories of people going polar opposite of Edgemaster by being overly friendly, sympathetic, or heroic.

a martyr complex?
OP here
Christ, I remember a perfect example. I was playing in a game where the resident That Guy had made yet another character. This one was based off some goddess character in an anime, I don't know, but he said that she was built to be an assassin, and her profession was assassin. I thought this be his normal edge character, until his character and mine (an apathetic thief who was slowly being turned into rage incarnate by the shit dm's antics) ended up in the same grouping. Our first encounter he shut up and let me talk our way into a ruin that was being inhabited...

One of my PCs is exactly that. In a brutal Industrial Revolution setting where the continent is politically breaking down, he plays a selfless, virtuous, infinitely merciful and compassionate government leader. Very frustrating, as he's constantly taking the moral high ground against literally everyone.
I clearly remember this being a thing. I was invited to a game of it once but the group fell threw before the first game.
Do people still play it?
Was it any good?
And most of all, what happened to it? Why does it seem to have faded into obscurity?
>>47514691
I liked it. I was the only one with the book, so I was the one who ran it. The players seemed to like the two games I ran, so there's that.
>>47514691
>Do people still play it?
Someone somewhere maybe?
>Was it any good?
It had a lot of problems. Unbalanced basic classes. A wonky wealth system. A lot of problems held over from 3.5 also.
>And most of all, what happened to it? Why does it seem to have faded into obscurity?
It died with the rest of the WotC 3.5 stuff.

How do you handle sexual encounters?
Sometimes it's required for things like Nymph's and Succubi, so I'm wondering, how do you handle things along those lines?
>>47511244
Fade to black unless it's funny (and everyone or almost everyone at the table is on board with it).
Anything else goes into "that guy" magical realm territory.
>>47511244
I let the PC go to a private place and establish when the sexual acts/foreplay starts and ends.
I don't let them RP it because the rest of the party doesn't want to watch some cunt pop a chubby while he's essentially writing erotic fanfiction for his own character.
If they need to do something important during, like kill their lover or escape I'll allow that if they say so.
I'll let them have fun with it afterwards though. Like they can specify they leave the room with messy hair or something
>>47511244
For this one player who kept trying to get erotic shit into the game, I eventually let him go through with it, and went into deep, graphic detail during the RP session.
Everyone was laughing and he was being red-faced quiet as fuck. I had him roll a fortitude save and it ended.
A day later, I told him, "you feel an intense itching sensation on your groin."
Yea, he permanently never wanted to do sex stuff after that again.
I want to start up a space opera/horror game. Through ideas at me anon. I'm thinking starting them off with an Event Horizon like situation.
>>47509462
So you're aiming for quite visceral horror then? Confronting them with horrific imagery, blood and guts all over the shop?
I think space, with its immensity in time and scope, gets room for a lot of different types of horror. Isolation. The Great Filter is one of the scariest ideas out there, pondering why there's so little intelligent life out there that we can see. And that maybe something is stopping it from getting to the point where we can see it.
>>47509590
I want to try to cover as many types of horror and methods of scaring the shit out of my players as possible. Isolation will be a big one, mind fuckery, uncanny valley, ect. I'm going to usually have the players have new characters after each campaign ends with some recurring characters, make it feel like an anthology of weird happenings in the setting.
