Requesting any and all Ghost in the Shell RPGs. Fanmade, whatever. Or any system that you think will go well with the setting (rules-light prefered).

Requesting Faiths and Pantheon for FR.
Been on the last few threads asking for it. Hope to get something. Please.

Just play shadowrun with no magic like the rest of us.
What would you guys think about a tabletop system that used Fire Emblem's growth rates? The gist is every time you level, you roll percentile dice for each stat and if you get at or under your point in that stat increases by a set amount
>>46085427
I've been thinking about something like this. The basic problem is that it means that these stats have to be very significant compared to the rest of each character's abilities, which is generally how characters shine and stand out rather than run around as bipedal stat blocks. Works pretty well for a video game, not so much when you're trying to keep multiple people interested.
If you figure out how to balance that, however, I'd suggest running growth rates as adjustable so that if players get bad growth rolls or surge too far forward, their rates adjust so that no one ever gets too far ahead or behind. Personally I'd have max level stats set beforehand and adjust rates based on that, but that's probably not what you're looking for.
>>46086345
Maybe give bonuses for each level a stat doesn't go up (except for 0 stats)? And definitely have caps on stats. The gm would probably have to roll it himself to prevent shenanigans.
>>46086400
Something like that, depends on how wild you want it to be.
Seriously though, I've tried making a system like this before and it was insurmountable to try to balance everything. I'm sure it's possible, but don't get too invested, you might come up empty-handed.
This is the first time in along time you've been this nervous. "It's going to be okay..." You whisper to yourself over and over again. "I'm sure she'll say yes." You've given thousands of speeches before. Speeches in front of incredibly powerful people. As the heir of a large company, you are probably one of the most eligible bachelors in the whole city. However, your heart belonged to someone already. "Flowers... Check..." You look down on the flowers you were holding. They were roses, her favourite flower. "Ring... check." Tonight was the night you were finally going to ask her to marry you. "Tickets?" You feel the breast pocket of your suit jacket. "Check." Tonight, you were going to propose to her on the first night of your romantic cruise. Everything was perfect. Everything was going to go great.
You were nervous. You didn't know how Rika would react. You've known her since she the two of you were in middle school and you've been her boyfriend ever since high school and throughout university as well. "There is no way she'll reject my proposal." You whisper to yourself.
Unfortunately, that day hasn't started off on a good note. Thanks to a mixup by the travel company, you are boarding the cruise ship wth regular people. You bought first class tickets yet here you are, in a sea of people. "Rika is probably on the boat already... I hope I can find her."
>cont.
just fucking stop, tale
>>46085283
As you struggle to weave in and out of the huge crowds, you notice a woman in line behind you. She looked completely plain. The only thing that stood out about her was how plain she was. "Ah... Where did I put it?! W-Where did I put that ticket?" She looked like she was desperately looking for something...
As she looks around for something, she doesn't notice the stream of people that came bulldozing over her. Almost immediately, her glasses falls to the floor. Immediately, you notice the change of look in her eyes. "M-my glasses!" Right away you could tell she probably can't see very well without them. Your observation was confirmed when you saw her go on her knees and start to feel for her glasses.

I knew a guy who knew a guy who did that once.It was awful.
I've been wanting to get into warhammer 40,000, but I've never played before. The Imperial Guard Interest me the most but I don't know much of the lore and know nothing of how to play so I could use all forms of help.
>>46083611
Go to your FLGS and ask for a demo game. Find lore on Lexicanum.

There are alot of videos and books on the Guard
they were my first and only 40k facion and thus my favotite personally
so I am a bit biased

What's the worst portrayal of fa/tg/uys you've seen in media?
What's the best one?
>>46082531
Worst - Big Bang Theory
I honestly can't think of a good portrayal.
>>46082531
>What's the worst portrayal of fa/tg/uys you've seen in media?
Jack Chick tracts.
>>46082531
I liked the DnD playing ghosts in Kentucky Route Zero.
Does Jumanji count?
Big Bang Theory is bad, but Jack Chick is arguably worse. Arguably depending on whether you'd want people to believe you're an actual satanic wizard instead of whatever that shit in BBT is. Their both about equally far from reality.

>>46082432
How do you define lift
>>46082432
How high-power is your setting? It just needs to be on the same scale as what everyone else can do.
>>46082448
Isn't the D&D definition of "Lift" a 1 rep full clean?

Tezzeret and Koth definitely need to come back soon. I want to know what they're up to.
Arlinn is just making her debut, but I already want to see more of her. Being new, though, I can wait some.
has anyone ever encountered a DM who was mean, ornery or just plain bad?

Man, that is rough buddy. Hope you do meet some cool dm
Hey teeg, what are your favorite martial / caster combinations? They can be spellswords, Eldritch knights, or even simple rogue/sorc or Fighter/wizard blends.
>>46081317
I like 4E Swordmage in theory. Haven't gotten to play one just yet but being able to teleport people around willy-nilly while stabbing people pleases me.
>>46081317
I always found battle-mages fun. I played one in a GURPS game and it was great.
>>46081413
4e swordmage was one of the most fun classes that I played. It was an Eladrin loaded down with support powers and the one class feature that let you grant temp hp to allies. I'd mark an enemy and then bum rush a squishy on the other side of the board. Felt great, DM was super salty about it.
He was running pre made modules and had no idea how to up the difficulty.
Legacy thread

>>46081287
I'm not super knowledgeable about Legacy outside of a couple decks like Stoneblade, Miracles, and aggro decks, but what is the purpose of this card? I know there's likely a specific use for it where going -2 just to get two copies of something 1CC that's already in play and untapping is good for.

Welcome one, and I welcome you all to the tale of a world called Thespia.
Here is the odyssey of one that clings to this world with no face of their own! In a place where magic is fundamental to all of creation, all who live wear their lives upon their face, where a fire might wish to be the cooking fire of an inn!
The Faceless overcame the tyrant lord of Bikel, Stephan Grant, son of Mikael Grant. Thus, while wearing the face of the vengeful spirit "The Reaper of Aurel" otherwise known as Dramir, a story in the world of Thespia comes to an end as a hero arrives to deliver the accursed Guisi from their fates of enslavement and labor.
Yet despite this success, a shadow of doubt looms upon the horizon as the Reaper claimed victory from Lord Grant whilst in his Arche's true form, a secret kept by the Guisi at all costs for fear of true persecution at the hands of other Thespians.
Yet the curtain has closed upon that story and a sibling pair grow restless as they hear the whispers of the Guisi elders and their intent to make the Reaper disappear to ensure that there are no loose ends.
"We will not see our work undone."

Luna is blood red as she gazes upon the enraged bloodlust of an abomination, a monstrosity. The monster heaves through the woods, wispy threads of poorly sewn together fate wicking from every haphazardly forced together part of its body. As it breathes, the foul smell of corpses and blood-copper is infused into the air causing it to tremble into a fetid red mist.
As the red light falls upon the woods it is burned away by the blazing boa of the one that stands before that's dodging away from the wolf's last charge. A beautiful woman of high stature and an athletic build, her face a mask presented with a polygonal heart pattern, long artistic eyelashes, and demonic horns that curl back over her head. In hand, she holds a burning whipsword that entices the air into becoming her dance partner.
The abominus wolf unleashes a distorted cacophony of howls as it bears down on her again, its many eyes insane in a mixture of pain and blind rage. Light on her feet, the woman slips behind a tree and flips away as the wolf's mouth is filled with wood that it absurdly crushes into splinters.
“My, my, my!” You say with a touch of sweat on your brow as you try to maintain a lax exterior. A touch of fear and bonechilling dread coursing down your spine, threatening to lock up your limbs should you succumb, “Quite the hungry beast aren't you?”
The monster's eyes roll around independently as they all try to seek you out, the wolf beginning to move only after a majority of them have locked you in their sights. Each step of the beast causes a slight tremor, and its absurdly huge gaping jaws are affixed with many more snarling maws within.
>>46080832
“Better not get hit,” You murmur as you dance out of its warpath, breaking contact behind another tree and twirling about for a particularly brutal burning lash. The blades of your whip glance through its mighty hide, though the fur catches flame in a linear smoldering mark. “Dire wolves, alone they can crush iron within their maws and resist the onslaught of ordinary blades...”
You flee through the woods as the monster smashes through trees after you, “Yet a beast such as this can resist ever more!”
>[Fly back to the Great Burned Oak where Odette's keeping watch over the rescued maidens. ]
>[Flee further into the woods to try to lose this thing's pursuit.]
>[Break contact and fly atop the beasts back, strike it from where its fangs can't reach.]
>[Dive into its jaws with a fiery explosion.]

What class do you think a King, Queen, Prince, Princess, etc would be? Note: I want my royalty to be trained in some sort of combat.
>>46080678
Wizard makes sense, given high level of education.
Fighter wouldn't be bad. A king ought to know swordplay and warfare.
Bard, maybe, because of the high charisma and support abilities.
Also depends on the society. Is the country religious? Clerics, all of them. Is it an Elven kingdom? Druids.
If you want to do something a little less vanilla, they're all sorcerers, because of their royal bloodline, or they're royalty because of their magical bloodline.
Really depends on what kinda royal family you want.
>>46080678
I usually don't give royalties combat training, at least not the one that are supposed to succeed to the throne. That said I think that most of them would probably be non-martial classes since, given the high wealth, they can probably afford high quality magic instructors and books.
