I know that many of your here love collecting the art out of the various art dumps in here, for inspiration or just because it's cool, whatever; and I know that many of you, like me, have built collections with thousands of images in them.
How do you sort and organise them?
Like with the character art, it'd be really helpful to organise them by theme (nordic/medieval/'desert'/cyberpunk, etc) but at the same time, I'd really like to have them sorted roughly by 'class' as well (fighters/knights/mages/priests) etc. Using folders...

pretty simple to explain, our group has been playing anima beyond fantasy for well over a year now and were sick of it, maybe we just need a break, maybe were done, i dunno.
we gave 5e a shot cause we wanted something more simple, we all agree its too simple, actually combat is great just the classes suck, your class gets like 5 abilities and two people of the same class are nearly identical.
we decided we to look around, I'm one of two of our group that browses /tg/ and ill check here first.
SO, does anyone know of any good point buy systems to run...

I'll always recommend mutants and masterminds, you just need to get players out of the DND mindset.

Did you even read what OP wrote?
>>48189462
The Dark Eye. Only other point buy system I can think of.
Unless you count SRS games as point buy, but the fantasy ones aren't exactly good.
>>48189462
By the way, does it have to be point buy or is a class based system with some variety okay, too?

My group is playing a game in the Forgotten realms settings and I'm playing a mage character. However I'm kinda stuck on how powerful a mage should be.
Does anyone know a good build for a combat mage?
>>48111483
Hate to start off thread with just questions but
I'm starting up a campaign again but using GURPS for it this time. The PCs are a couple of Merc's turned knights in a low fantasy game. They've been put in charge of a town, and eventually are probably gonna be building a fighting force (there's a civil war on the horizon) and a town. I have the PDF for mass combat, but where can I find rules for building forts, towns, and managing those resources and such?
>>48111630
I'm assuming you're using the default magic system. What's your starting point budget?
In general, you're going to be more useful trying to do things the rest of the party can't do rather than outpace them in terms of damage, but that doesn't mean you can't have a handful of good attack spells. In general, you're going to want to have one or two (three at the absolute most) attack spells at a high enough skill level that the FP cost drops to 0; if they're your bread-and-butter...

/tg/s thoughts on the GiantitP Forums?
My thoughts are that it's not for me, but I'm an adult, so I don't froth at the mouth about other sites.
One thing I do find odd about it is that it often only seems to take one minority opinion to hi-jack an entire thread. Not anything offensive or aggressive since the mods will ban that sort of thing but just an opinion about rpgs which the majority of people on the board disagree with. When it happens a lot of the time it seems to result in the entire thread becoming about everyone criticizing that one poster and them arguing back with no further discussion on the original topic.

So just like /tg/ then
Have you ever been in a fight, /tg/?
I don't mean a shoving match over some perceived insult. I'm talking about sudden violence that appears intended to do real harm, possibly kill you.
Heroes are not affected much by this and continue to quip and banter while mechanically calculating the outcome of the fight and looking for a weakness. This isn't how people work though.
In real life you get adrenaline shooting through your veins. Your perception narrows. You hear the blood rushing through your ears. Your hands tremble in anticipation. And...

No set of mechanics is going to make up for simply roleplaying these things correctly. In fact, they'd probably just get in the way, or be reduced to min-maxing calculations like everything else.
>>48158620
I'm also interested in this.
As for being in a fight, yes. Got punched in the head until he broke his hand, hit him a few times in the stomach, then his friend drew a knife and well fuck that shit. Highschool was pretty ehh.

I don't know, surely you could do something. I don't see altering stats up and down being the answer though. Maybe something with altering initiative based on actions? Like if you're cool and calm...

It really takes a dedicate role-player to act out things that harm the character's tactical position. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it isn't likely to happen in a game. You might as well remove HP and just play out damage. No, this requires mechanics.
Rules getting in the way or being reduced to min maxing shenanigans is always an issue. Sometimes making the rules better helps. But generally if you have players who are so inclined, change groups. Or embrace the spirit and never worry...

You are not Jadyk of the Wormstar. You have no name, only a title and a promise of great power. You are the wayward Voidknight Disciple and this is your greatest challenge.
Roiling clouds thick with oily water are illuminated in flashes of lightning, the storm raging over the dark continent. Thunder rumbled and shook the frame of the frigate as it raced away from the primitive city glowing with light and flames in the distance. There was another flash of lightning as it nearly struck the necrotic ship, a sensor cluster on the hull spotting a brief moment of something...

What are /tg/'s thoughts on counterfeits? They could be for anything like MTG cards or 40k figures. Do you think fakes are ultimately good or bad for the game in the long run, and what would happen if they were to become indistinguishable from the real thing sometime in the future?
I suppose it depends on the game.
In MTG I'm all for it.
Counterfeits only harm the secondary market (i.e. KikeCityGames) not Wizards themselves. If anything, counterfeits are good for the game since they lower the entry barrier.
My Legacy deck uses counterfeit duals and nobody has ever noticed.
Well-made counterfeits benefit the players at the expense of the secondary market and the credibility of the manufacturer.
I'm willing to embrace it if the company has no regards for the players ability to play the game.

Two things:
1) The only thing more pathetic than collecting cardboard and paying money for it, is to pay money for fake cardboard in order to pretend it's real cardboard to fool people who spent real money on their real cardboard.
2) In 40k I'm all for recasts. Seriously, fuck games workshop. If I want a Craterhoof Behemoth, I can politely ask my flgs to order me one from wherever, or trade another player for it. If I want a named unique unit, I have to slurp games workshop's dick and...

So, the one roll engine. Anyone have any experience? How is reign? I've heard good things, but I'd like to get bitched at on the internet.
I'm not sure, anon. I've heard good things, and also heard that it's a shitty system by a stupid hipster who doesn't know how to design good games.
But the folks who liked it seemed to know what they the system really well, whereas the guy who shit on it could give no specifics, so take that as you will.
>>48188175
All I know right now is some interesting mechanics involves with the matching of dice and the like. Haven't seen how it plays though.
Given the art, and what I've seen on the free supplementary things, I can also see the the latter. A lot of odd different for difference sake thing. Maybe? Dunno that's why I'm asking.
The dice seems neat, but it's just never discussed.

My friends and I are thinking of trying to make a D&D comedy show type of thing. We basically want to make something like what we thought Big Bang Theory was going to be like when it first started out, before it descended into Bazinga hell. Basically we were hoping for it to be really really pitch black humor and horribly fucking depressing but also funny in a sick way. Almost like a fake-documentary type of movie, like the office. Like I just want a "nerd movie" that is actually honest and none of this fake "getting the girl at the end" shit. Like Zero...

Start writing and recording and come back when you have something minor to show if you want people to become invested in an amateur project.
Also if anyone knows of any similar movies I could watch I'd love some recommendations. I rememebr watching "the gamers" and stuff but it just seemed like basic D&D stereotypes for a lot of the jokes so it was kinda funny but it was the same basic humor we get at our table every week. It was okay but not what I wanted.
We were talking about BBT and how disappointed in it we were, I wanted a show where they were all literally r9k-tier kissless virgins who acted wicked autistic around women. Just because i think it has far more humor potential than any of these other shows. I like the IT crowd more but it was a completely different kind of humor and too surrealist. I want something like the Office except I want people to not know whether to laugh or cry and either feel sorry for the main characters or completely hate them (like Scott in Zero Charisma, or Miles, and by the end of that movie I liked Scott far more than Miles).
There was an animated show like this. Can't remember it's name. Something like a town or something.
It was terrible.
If you're trying to bring back the "sad loser" stereotype for comedy purposes, you're alienating your main audience. Even just sprinkling a lame sitcom with geek references is a better idea, and that idea is terrible.

I ask GM what's the usual chargen process for the system he's going to run and work from there.
When I GM, it's 3d6 in order. When it's the other GM's turn, it's always point-buy.

2d6+4 strait, players may exchange any two one time. 2d6+3 if I want it a little more low-key.
