Why is it so hard to kill people with guns in this game? i swear to god, people are constantly hitting with guns but don't do enough to kill because of the autistic way that successes work in combat. You have like a 90% chance of hitting someone if you have a 5 dice pool but only like 10% chance of putting them down in one shot.
So I'll be GMing an Adeptus Evangelion game here pretty soon. A couple of the players are kinda new to TRPGs, but they wanted to play it. My veteran player will be their operations director.
How have your AdEva games gone /tg/? Did your pilots save the world? Did they get tanged? What was Seele's end goal? Did you change up the themes at all?

>>47315327 He wasn't even too strong before and they nerfed him significantly in many ways, so no more upkeep casting, his healing is significanty weaker, he can't get souls.
What character backstories do you see alot that make you cringe? Myself: The cleric or paladin looking for redemption from their god
I utterly hate this backstory. If your looking for redemption in the eyes of your god, then from my point of view, you've fallen from grace with your god. Which, again in my view, means you should be a ex-whatever class you chose and shouldn't have your classes powers.
Also this backstories tends to attract people to play moopy/depressing/sulks-in-the-corner characters.
>>47311557 >My character is a potato given sentience from all the magical radiation we released at the end of our last campaign >Also he found a green dragon egg and thought it was a big green potato and kept it and hatched it and now he has a green dragon as a pet
This is a genuine character one player tried to pitch to me. I vetoed that shit instantly.

Sometimes, late at night, after I've finished working on my campaign that no one will ever play, I gaze solemnly out the window of my mom's basement, and think how great it would be to actually have people to play with...

So what exactly are the "angels" that show up in the Lothric Castle lore? Are they Primordial Serpents? Are they Pilgrim Butterflies? Neither of those fits with the feathery wings the golden winged knights have, or with the feathers scattered all over Gertrude's (?) cage. I feel like I missed a crucial piece of information.
>last hour for board game stretch goals So Beatrice is basically in at this point. Almost no hope for 4m, but its nice to pretend; what-re the hopes for the new add-on?
Lamentations of the Flame Princesses' historical setting takes it away by far for me. Shitty guns, strange spellcasting and the wierd world of the 1600's just makes me a happy camper.
I'm only versed in OSR. LotFP, B/X and DCC are the only systems I've ever run. OSR is my preferred style of choice, but my group of players (who aren't tabletop gamers normally) I feel like they're going to feel restricted after a while if every fantasy themed game we play is the same 7-Class option. And I know for some of them, their character permanently dying all the time is off putting. They wanna create a PC and build it up over time. They want to be a Ranger or a Gnome and short of homebrewing rules for that into my LotFP game (and causing the one RAW-autist to explode), I can't provide.
What more 'modern' system would you recommend me? 5e? Pathfinder? Shadow of the Demon Lord? I need something that's relatively just as easy for a beginner to pick up as B/X or LotFP.
>>47267406 >They want to be a Ranger or a Gnome and short of homebrewing rules for that into my LotFP game (and causing the one RAW-autist to explode), I can't provide. Specialist. And tell the autist to check his autism, because houserules are what makes the game fun.
I'm going to be attempting to GM Shadowrun for the first time in two days, using Roll20, but I don't know much about the actual lore beyond playing SR:R, and I'm substituting the system for a simplified one of my own creation that's a bit more like XCOM.
Here is the session plan.

>>47313591 Go to /srg/, they'll answer all your lore questions. SR is an EXTREMELY lore heavy game (arguably the one with the heaviest still in modern publication), so bear with them.
So I'm planning a neutral evil bard character. A very charismatic fellow after money and power. He's the middle child of a barely noble family, took the life away from battle to focus on learning about the ways of diplomacy, arts and power dynamics in politics.
He's definitely not above stealing, maiming or killing to satisfy his greed. He's more a sociopath/manipulator. Not a depraved psycho. Pragmatic yet power hungry.
I'm still working on the backstory but I'm not sure about what are the skills he should have.

>>47312768 Playing an evil character, huh? Is it an evil campaign? Cause if it's not, it might be tricky. A lot of DMs don't even entertain the idea of evil characters in their game simply because of how potentially disruptive they can be for the rest of the party. I would ask your DM first, and maybe the other players too, before devoting a ton of time to it.
>>47312825 Well this is what I'm trying to figure out. I'm not really interested in provoking petty fights. I'm just really trying to play some character that us truly looking out for #1 and any other alignment seems lacking.
Playing someone that can't decide to take a slave here and there or engage in some "off screen" torture seems very limiting. Edition is probably 3rd.
>>47312970 Talk to the other players first before you decide to go full evil. If someone is playing a paladin, or any character that strongly opposes evil, it's going to devolve into a petty shit flinging contest.. And you're gonna be asshole for bringing an evil character.
If you absolutely want to have the freedom to do everything without having to worry about anything, there's always Chaotic Neutral, but once again, it has a rather nasty stigma attached to it.

This Gas'n'Go is set in the New Mexico desert out in the goonies, where the "towns" are trailers huddled around gravel road intersections and it's easier to get a loan from the patron than the bank.
When Brent, the baseball loving cashier, and Cleatus, the gentle redneck gas station attendant-cum-wrench monkey, arrived the usual dust storm kicked up once they clocked in, stripping away the smooth yellow of the desert and replacing it with burnt ochre sand and a fertile, fiery red...

At around 11:15 PM a short bus full of Cub Scouts showed up.
The troop leader, Mr. Jim, stumbled out of the bus with baggy, bloodshot eyes and asked Cleatus to fill 'er up. Cleatus, being a gentle redneck, delegated this task to the small children.
Once Mr. Jim entered the Gas'n'Go with a gaggle of hyperactive Cub Scouts trailing behind who immediately scattered through its bigger on the inside interior. He immediately purchased a red steering wheel lock, left his card with Brent... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

At around 11:40 Brent a wave of convulsive coughing fits hitting the kids, though his attention was mainly focused on a poorly maintained chest cooler filled with the strange meat the skeleton fishermen delivered every Tuesday. A handful of scouts had opened it up and were eating handfuls of raw meat.
Outside Cleatus decided to check in with Brent about Mr. Jim, who he hadn’t seen return, while the cashier was fondling his baseball bat. They both decided it was about to be one of those nights and while Brent was given the task of clearing out the children Cleatus went to check in on the troop leader.
>Cleatus knocked on the door, "Y'all right in thar?"
>"Occupied!" Mr. Jim shouted through the door.
>"It's been twenty minutes, fella, you fallin' in or what?"
>"Uh..." Then came a telltale click-click-thunk of the anti-theft bar being extended and set against the handle. "You guys might want to hole up in the break room or something, it's about quarter 'til midnight."
>"God fucking damn it, Mr. Jim! I ain't yer fuckin' baby sitter!" Cleatus futilely attempted to unlock and open the door before deciding to drop it and catch up with Brent.

The exact spells-to-creature ratio kind of depends on the colour you're playing - green needs creatures more than blue, for example - but a good rule of thumb is that your deck should be about 60% creatures/spells and 40% land to ensure a consistent mana curve.
>>47310611 It's not even close to the worst. The Palladium/Rifts system for instant is both clunkier and has even more imbalanced. It's just that d20 is everywhere. So anyone who doesn't like it can't escape it, and ends up hating it.
>>47310611 Because D&D caters to too many people wanting everything to be jammed into one system that was never intended for most of the shit people run it for.
It's designed by committee for a product that was only meant to do one thing, these choices affect almost every in every game that uses the d20 system, and the ones that don't suffer from the d20 systems problems are so far removed from it that it would have been easier to start from scratch.
Is there a way to make a campaign set in a "sandbox", a rather small area with multiple landmarks that get visited often and NPCs that show up frequently to give quests or just shoot to shit?
