>tl;dr explain / advise / teach how to science your way to OP position in forum / text servers
So I've seen before some legendary breads where people have used either their knowledge of systems or their knowledge of irl science to help them out in regards to certain systems or games be it to troll those involved or just to cause mayhem. A few examples are the guy who made a steampunk ironman suit and silvernitrate (if i remember right) to royally fuck over a game with some snowflake furries, or the one anon who had made a character that speced so hard in int that they could take 0 damage from a galactic puncher. I can post the cap of the latter but I digress.
Point is if any anon can give advice on how to pull that off or if its simply a matter of circumstance, self research, or just a matter of gitgudscrub.
I'll bump with the few similar stories I have on hand but then I'll let the thread die.
Gonna post a multi part story but that'll be the last of the bumps.

It's sort of like if Clint Eastwood would have shot the chinks to pieces the moment they got on his lawn in that movie, no warnings given, plus his house was invisible and nobody knew the neglected lawn belonged to anyone.
>>48198369
I dunno, OP. Why exactly do so many edgy faggots on /tg/ constantly post about how plainly malevolent entities and characters did nothing wrong?
The world may never know.
Hey I'm GMing in a hour and haven't thought of anything, help me out, my niggas.
What's the setting, fag
Behind the shopkeepers bookshelf there is a small dug out passage that leads down into an underground room. In the room there is one shovel and other digging equipment, one pedestal in the center and one artifact on top of the pedestal. The dirt wall behind it is wet and there is a horizontal scar of which small beatles are crawling out of. Upon touching the artifact the scar will open and reveal itself to be a giant eye embedded in the wall, and beatles and bugs will begin to spew out of its eyelids.

if it's in the primary Marvel universe, argue until it's too late, then die heroically.

Pull the BBEG inside out with your bare hands.

Go with 3.
Worst case, the universe ends up back where it started and the next group of heroes picks one of the other 2 options.
Have you ever fell in love of a character you made Or maybe made a player fall in love with one you created
>>48196117
Not even once, because I can separate reality from fantasy.
>>48196117
Yes.
I mean, not in a game, but this pretty much describes most of my relationships IRL.
People put up walls, dude, including me.
So I was reading up about this game Vampyr ans the main character is a doctor who becomes a vampire.
Being a vampire conflicts with his Hippocratic oath and so he doesn't?/wont? become "evil" so to say.
What are reasons that someone who's become a vampire won't or atleast at first wouldn't become "evil"?
Suicide, then forced resurrection.
Played a character with a similar backstory for a long time. He wasn't good, nor completely mentally sane, but definitely not evil.
>>48195653
What kept him from just killing himself again?
>>48195608
They don't actually have a physical need to drink blood, just a strong compulsion or addiction to do so.
New-ish GM here
How do I get past the crushing despair that my players might not like my campaign and hours upon hours of work might fall apart in an instant, ultimately making the whole endeavor worthless?
Huh? Are you afraid that they won't like it? Or you are sad about that they already didn't like it?
In case 1, JUST DO IT! Talking with players also helps.
In case 2, git gud and learn from mistakes. Or find a group of less privileged players.
>>48193981
Well first of all, realize that almost everyone hates the shit they make because a creator is really good at seeing the flaws in his creation. Everything you've ever liked has someone who thinks it's the worst shit they've ever made. This realization has never actually helped me, but maybe it'll work for you.
Second is to just decide you're probably lying to yourself and get out and just run the damn thing. Just keep running it even if you think it's awful. How bad can it really be if they've shown up 10 times? How about 100 times? This won't solve the issue on its own but it does help you strengthen yourself over time.

I feel like you have to put the big walkers in your deck to make Deploy worth it, but they would be useless if you don't draw Deploy
Can we have a thread about Savage Worlds? Going to be running my first game in the system sometime soon and i'd like to have some discussion about it
>>48189743
Yes, do have a thread. It's perfectly board related.
Would be nice of you if you bumped vocaroo thead before making this one, though.
>>48189751
why would i bump another thread before making my own?
i cant even find a vocaroo thread in the catalog

It's in the archive now
I ask that you forgive the rather ramshackle creation I've just dumped onto you.
See, I fly out for basic training in less than 12 hours and for reasons beyond my reckoning I was possessed with the desire to create a cyoa image. I'd never done one of these before and I threw this together in less than a day. I had initially planned for a much more expansive game, more nobles, other kingdoms, an alliance system, FAR more perks and threats as well as several resource pools and a more complex way of managing them. Due to time constraints and a desire to post something at least I made this instead.
I'm hoping to pick it up again in the future, make the version I had initially imagined but that won't be for some time.
Anyway, hope you guys have some fun with this and keep an eye out, maybe you'll see more one day.

Rene hasn't said a word to anyone for much of the trip East from Gravern. The Gerxel Empire whose orphanage was her childhood, whose oldest and most esteemed Director took her in and raised her as his own, has been toppled by the very same woman who left her with nothing. Conrad is dead, Felix has convinced Sara to abandon ship, and there's no way that Cicero hadn't lost his Witch Pendant upon his capture...
Rene buries her face in her hands, curled up tightly. There's no way Ximeno's plan will work now, and she still doesn't know where Veiz is...
"I... I swore that I would," Veiz, heart full of guilt and regret, says to Alfred, burying her head in his chest before confessing, "and no one else has told her yet, so I might be the one to, but... Gods, I can't build up the stomach to face her."
"I... can only advise you to take your time," the Swordmaster responds, quiet as usual, "but... if you need someone's company when you tell her the truth, you know I'm always at your call."
Dyrus, sitting and trying to be in high spirits, cannot help but overhear this, reminded again of the paradoxical nature of the concept of a 'good war.' People sing and swear to its glory, but gods... All he can do is focus on rebuilding his life alongside his mother, nay, alongside the rest of Teege.
Lazare and Samson are both thinking of one another, father and son increasingly hyped up to meet again as the war draws to a close. It's been an arduous road of loss and sacrifice, but one that Samson hopes means finally bringing a close to this chapter in his life, banishing it to paper for all eternity. Raleigh, Marion, Oswald Dory, Knut, Hera... He's mourned the losses of friend, family, and foe alike, swore to honor them in death with his continued living.
But which of these young survivors, scarred and molded irreparably by revolution, might you be?
>A. Samson
>B. Dyrus
>C. Rene
>>48198181
>C. Rene;_;
>>48198238
You are now Rene, continuously watched over as you're transported back to the former Gerxel capital... They're thinking of renaming it to something or another now, but hell if you know what. Or care.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4GPp5H5Duc
Hauteclere visits you often, tries to speak with you, but you turn away and refuse to hear from her every time.
"Rene... I'm sorry, for everything that's happened to you. You've grown into a bright, beautiful young woman, and despite our differences," the woman calling herself her mother pauses, "I'm proud of all you'd achieved."
You'd spent so many years wondering what horrible situation could have brought about the circumstances of your early childhood, sympathized at times with your imagined true mother, but reality hit you hard. Hauteclere's been a well-off noble all her life. Poverty or illness couldn't have been what separated you. It had to have been some sort of... Societal status thing. Dyrus said that your mothers are the same, but mentions nothing of your biological fathers. And given how old she would've been at the time of your birth...
Yeah, absolutely a status thing. Not tarnishing her family's name with your... Existence.
That old man, Darren, her father-in-law, approaches you one day. "I know, you're angry, you probably hate every single one of us with a passion, but... If there's anyone who you should resent for your abandonment, it's me. At her most vulnerable, my daughter-in-law came to me, and I coldly made her give you away. She wasn't the same for a very long time afterwards..."
>A. (Continue this defiant silence)
>B. Why should you care?
>C. How does that make her any less to blame
>D. You'll keep that in mind

Sorry for the long delay. When it's summer, people think you have free time so end up doing a lot of stuff.

“Make sure you cover everything.” Charlotte happily tells you as you apply sunscreen on her back.
“Do not forget, but I am next.” Cecilia says with a cheerfully light tone.
You inadvertently let out a sigh before you reply with, “I know but you will have to be patient. I like being thorough.”
“Did you not get enough sleep last night?” Charlotte asks as she turns a little to look at you.
“It is not my fault. I did not think it was that late when I went to bed.” Cecilia states with a touch of embarrassment.
“Since when was your bed the same as John's?” Houki asks with a slightly pointed tone.
“That's why you should already be ready when John gets to bed.” Laura states flatly.
You are John Smith, only know male IS pilot, currently trying to relax on Cecilia's private beach after yesterday's events. After finding out how much of yesterday's events were orchestrated by your Mom, all of the guys went in panic mode. Uncle Eli sneaked off quickly after lunch while Grandpa called for backup on his codec. Uncle David went on an unusually long smoke break and Uncle Ota was of no use. Dad tried distract your Mom but how effective that was has yet to be seen. Meanwhile, you had to deal with what was effectively your Mom giving her blessing to the girls. On one had, it is nice to see Cecilia, Laura, Houki and Charlotte smiling. Rin was stuttering mess that couldn't even form a complete sentence. The other, well you were too nervous and paranoid over what was the next thing your Mom had planned. That left you considerably stressed for the entire time. So right now, you are focusing on trying to get past that with a new day.
1/2
You can't but help let out another sigh as you think over that.
“John, are you feeling sick? You've been listless all morning.” Houki asks you, taking note of your tiredness.
“Is it because the plan for today was an early day on the beach? If you wanted to sleep more, you should have told me.” Cecilia asks, adding to everyone's concern over your current state.
“If I wanted to sleep more, you would be among the first to know. That is, when I pull you back to bed to go back to sleep.” you answer with a smile. “It's just, how can I put it, what Mom did yesterday drained me more than I thought.” you add.
“If that is case, then you should take a nap with me.” Laura says as she extends her arms towards you while sitting on a beach chair.
“If John wants to take a nap, it should be next to me.” Cecilia says as she turns herself to face you on the beach towel.
“I think a lap pillow would be the best way a girlfriend would relive her boyfriend's fatigue.” Houki says meekly.
[]Take up their offer and take an early nap on the beach.
[]Beat your fatigue with some exercise and play on the beach with the girls.
[]Maybe you should allay your fear by checking up on what Grandpa and your Uncles are doing.
