Sounds like the scum got what it deserved. Real life had more draconian ways of dealing with thieves and murders.

>she'll lose her character.
Yeesh.
Alignment change I get, but that's a bit much don't you think?

>>47210338
The Star Wars Saga edition had it where if you got too evil, AKA got a ton of dark side points, you lost your character. The GM now plays him as a villain and you get to make a new character.

I've heard good things about this game, about 4 out of 5 people enjoy a good game of gangrape.

Seems like a messy affair; I'd rather not.

Fucking swedes.

2E has a bunch of great campaign settings published for it, but in terms of rules it's subdued compared to 1E (until you start adding in splats and Player's Option books) and overly complex compared to the Basic line.

If you want to count the whole of all material released specifically for 2E during its tenure as counting for the whole edition, then I'd say it's probably the best overall, but the caveat lies in the fact that almost all of the good extra stuff can be used with 1E or even Basic with little conversion, and they have their advantages in core over 2E.

>>47201354
It's a good system, but you need to know what you're getting into. I found it a bit less intuitive and math heavy, which is to say that its a system you need to learn as opposed to just jump into. It's fairly restrictive in terms of class and race, which some will find obnoxious. It doesn't lend itself to massively powerful campaigns. In 3.5 you can get into dick measuring bullshit on who can do billions of points of damage a second, 2E doesn't scale that high.

There is a lot of good...

It's not without its flaws and incongruencies (bard fireballs for one). Not much material was playtested because of dumb late-TSR policies.

However, the old D&D experience is something special. There's less caster supremacy.

It also produced many really interesting campaign settings.

A Mermaid Sea Witch.
I charmed her. We made all the sex. I tricked her into marrying me. We saved the Cleric on the process. And now I need to carry her around my back strapped in a jury rigged custom made baby-carriers.
The good thing is that she can cast druid spells like a fucking champion out of the wazoo making her a very reliable henchman that is always with me.
It is fucking beautiful.

>>47200419
Lots and lots of blood. Very little of it is actually from enemies.

>>47200481
So you used magic to trick a woman into marrying you then keep her as a prisoner in a place she can never escape from? Fucked up, dude.

The Grendel shoutout was one of my favorites.

That was pretty good. I'm also kind of a fan of the Scintillan Fusiliers.

>>47182480
what kind of board game is? how is the gameplay?

>>47182505
There's a gameplay demo on the kickstarter page which shows off two players vs the Dancer of the Frigid Valley. Short version is that it's players vs (card based) AI, positioning is important (better to evade attacks than tank them) and the more stamina you use the easier it is to get killed.

I've gone in for it, partially because backing now gets you a load of extra stretch goal enabled stuff, and because at the very worst it should be good for a few games with my fellow Dark Souls loving friends.

>>47182480
Backed it.

How would you use the basic creep factions as a true power in the world and threat to both Alliance and Horde?

I prefer to not have ability scores and instead things be based around skills. Derived numbers from attributes naturally create a disparity for their usefulness. I.E. Charisma.

Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Charisma
All the rest is skills

>>47229081
I think skills are a bit too granular to use without broad abilities as a back-up.

Example:
A player may not invest in the Balance skill if the character archetype doesn't warrant it, but any character should be able to have a go at sidling along a narrow surface. Lack of skill or experience doesn't really stop you from putting one foot in front of the other. You could just have everyone take the same 'unskilled' check, but I think adding a little variation through Dexterity offers the...

Any game you want, as long as you have an answer.

I can also condense it into highest indisputably rules legal damage possible.

>>47221413
Well, technically speaking you can do infinite damage in any system with exploding dice.

More importantly, I need to know how the fuckle you can pull that with Shuckle.

Terrible art, too. 90% of it is washed-out grimdark bullshit. And what's with the character "options"? Lel you can be a human from this shitty part of the world, or a darker human from this other even shittier part of the world.

>Alright, we get it, WWI was a bit too political. You didn't have to go full edgelord with the sequel

"Edgelord" doesn't even begin to describe it. I mean, sure, there is a lot of edge. The bombs that work by converting rare handwavium into pure destructo-force are edgy bullshit, and the genocidal maniacs with LITERAL SKULL SYMBOLS all over the uniforms are damn edgy, and they evolve into Ow the Edgehog when they backstab their former ally to start a two-front...

Still better than the leader of France-expy called "the gaul" only pronounced with funny accent so it becomes "de gaulle".

And the high level adventurer-scientist-polymath with a billion skill points in everything called "fine man".

And the encryption code called "enigma".

And the encryption-breaking machines called "bombes".

How long does a game take?
How hard is it?

2-12, most I've had so far was 8, at a game night a few months ago.

Standard game takes between 45 minutes to an hour and a half.

It might look complicated, but it's really not. The same process repeats over and over. During a players turn, they can

- Roll to move
- Draw an Event card, if they land on an orange space
- Cast 1 spell
- Attack a player with their Melee/Ranged weapon, and a Siege Engine.

Those can be done in any order, or none at all. (With certain cards,...

Chrome Domes- a group of Raiders that believe that by grafting metal and chrome to their faces and bodies in order to become closer to their "god", a military ai trapped in a bunker

Post-apocalyptic is such an overdone genre. It's synonymous with "I'm not creative enough to create a new setting, but I'm not adaptable enough to reconcile my creation with the real world, so I half-ass it and create a lackluster setting that is mostly the same grey-metal grim Mad Max motorcycle crap that has been done over and over, and a couple semi-creative tidbits will not inject nearly enough originality to save a genre that is so mainstream and cliche that it has been overdone to the point of death from exhaustion.

Post-apocalyptic is literally the same tier as heroic fantasy now, in terms of being plebian garbage. Pick something else.

You dropped your hat.

My current character is likely going to train a Batman equivalent with the stupid amount of money I am amassing due to in game investments in trade. That character will be used in the next relevant campaign.

As much as he would love to, he can't go back to being a farmer, nor can he really settle down. He will wander, doing what good he can and carrying out his god's will.

Well, my Fighter is going to slow burn his way from a shittier Arthur Dent from the worst family in the kingdom to a respectable hero.

He'll probably be employed under the king as a problem remover.

it's typically how it is here

Gotta go to goldfish or salvation for standard discussion. Faggots here would rather have 360+ posts about the lore or waifus.

>>47219160
Over The Edge / WaRP is pretty good for what you're describing. Very quick and dirty, new skills can be acquired in a straight-forward way, existing ones can be raised but get exponentially harder past a certain point (e.g. karate above 4, time to go find a kung-fu master).

Very freeing system, and does guns quite nicely.

>>47219256
Oh, and it's great for weird tech/psychic/supernatural abilities too, if you've got PC's who are gonna have those.

>>47219276
Sorry, one last thing: XP in WaRP is great. You get extra "experience dice" to spend on things whenever as long as you can justify it (e.g. "jeez, this is like the third knife fight I've been in this week!" /throw in experience die); however, you can "cash them in" for permanent ability/skill acquisitions. It's really cool.
