Elf Fashion Anonymous 11/28/2021 (Sun) 01:50:04 No. 423 [Reply] [Last]
What sort of attire do you think elves should wear as part of their culture? Human styled fantasy clothing? Fantasy nobility dress? What about in battles? There's really no set sort of mold that elves fit into attire wise the same way something like a dwarf, human, or hobbit does. Just think it'd be neat to know what kind of aesthetics people think fit with them.

I have changed my mind. Elves dress only in the finest Balenciaga. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm6BlRMEny0
Elves are not human and therefore good only for genociding.

Idea thread Anonymous 05/01/2023 (Mon) 20:31:43 Id: 3186ee No. 793 [Reply]
A thread for posting Ideas. Can be stories, Items, campaigns or even entire systems if you have an idea for those. I will start! So the idea is for a weapon, for reference I am going to use D&D rules. It is a sword simply called "Tyr". Its a +5 longsword but it has a curse that makes it so every time you enter combat you must do a willpower DC 15 saving throw. This is to represent the fact that the sword makes you feel far more afraid than normal. If you fail your character is paralyzed with fear and must overcome the DC 15 saving throw to snap out of it. On top of all of this you have disadvantage on any saving throws involving fear. Why does a sword named after the bravest of the gods make you afraid? its simple. The sword itself is a test of bravery, Only those who can overcome their fear are worthy of wielding it. Much like how Tyr, The bravest of the gods overcame his fears time and time again. DC check is probably way too high though. Any thoughts?

Crusader Campaign. Players are knights embarked to the holy land during one of the crusades. Along the way they must balance piety vs. practicality and may finally arrive at the holy lands far twisted beyond recognition as nothing more than brigands. But still they must fight the muslim hordes for Christendom. History calls them doomed from the start. Can the players defy fate? Alternatively this can be done with players as mercenaries in the Rhodesian bush war or Vietnam.
>>799 >Stranded campaign I like that one, In fact I was thinking of making a campaign like that but instead they're shipwrecked.
>>803 Yeah that could be fun. Theres ideas out there that are unique and can lead to very memorable campaigns. Some are risky, but the possibilities are there. Like gilligans island but serious. Maybe mid pacific so you can get komodo dragons and gators and sharks. but the plane angle gives you additional options such as arctic, jungle, mountainous, and desert. But regardless of location chosen each one has unique challenges to be modeled in advance so as to ensure a more enjoyably challenging simulation.

Amidst the stars and cosmic fray There are warriors who fight each day Chaos Marines, a twisted breed And Space Marines, noble in deed The Chaos Marines, they worship chaos Their minds corrupted, their souls lost They revel in destruction and pain Their actions senseless, their motives vain They are the soyjaks of the galaxy Lost in their own twisted reality With no purpose or direction true Their strength is but a fleeting hue But the Space Marines, they are different Their resolve and honor are magnificent

Call of Cthulhu/Horror RPGs Anonymous 03/26/2023 (Sun) 14:46:04 Id: 295624 No. 741 [Reply]
I didn’t see a thread about it here or on any other worthwhile imageboard, so I’m posting. Anyways, I picked up the 7th edition Keeper’s guidebook recently, and I was thinking about running it for a group. Has anyone here run this game, and if so, do you have any advice to share? It’s also worth noting that I’ve never been a GM so any advice generally is also welcome. And, for people who haven’t run the game but have spent time on the investigator side, I’d love to hear some stories about it. What were your characters like? Finally, what are some other horror-related RPGs worth playing? Aside from this one and the WoD stuff, I'm not sure that I'm aware of any.

>>749 Within the mythos you can't really kill Cthulhu, death for it is more like a stasis. I think Lovecraft called it death-sleep? There are conflicting bits of lore from the post-HPL writers but I don't care what they say.
>>750 Is there any eldritch abomination that can die? If they can are they really eldritch? >There are conflicting bits of lore from the post-HPL writers but I don't care what they say. Good.
>>752 >Is there any eldritch abomination that can die? If they can are they really eldritch? Death is something more philosophical concept, there can be surely ways of killing at least some sort of "lesser" eldritch creature, then there is big shots that might be completely unbound by every "concept" we can at least grasp.

Cyberpunk 2020 & Red OP 03/30/2022 (Wed) 23:08:22 No. 457 [Reply]
Let's bring some activity to this place. Cyberpunk 2020, created by Mick Pondsmith in 1988. A role-playing game that brings you to the dark world of 2020. Where America went to hell. Where now big corporations run the world and control everything. Meanwhile, Cyberpunk Red ; its sequel takes place 25 years later. In what is known as the "Red" period because the sky is dyed that color due to radiation and other chemicals on the planet. So I begin the talk about this wonderful game that has created a whole genre within punk.

>>673 >Complex skills of all kinds, not just those related to technology, cost more as a rule and the skill being easy to find information on or mentors for doesn't change that. Oh wonderful, so they got even lazier with manuals and books in the Cyberpunks universe than in our world, beautiful. Brilliant. I'll just never play Cyberpunk then, fucking shit system. How did this ever get as popular as it supposedly was? At least Shadowrun lets me build the character I want without charging me extra for it unless you take metahumans into account. >Also, Jury Rigging is vague so that you can even make the attempt So I can make a one-shot railgun out of a battery, some copper wires, two pieces of steel and an appropriate projectile? >complex when realistically you should not even be permitted to roll. Hey, guess what, it's not realistic that people who get chromed up will go full on terminator either, even though we can't get chromed up in reality. Empathy is a gayass stat, I'm shocked WoD doesn't have it. I don't play trpgs to emulate reality, I play them to GET AWAY from reality. To hell with your realism and gimme the controls to that spidertank. As for the machine gun bit, I was referring to how owning an automatic weapon is a criminal offense in the Cyberpunk universe. As in "MaxTac will get on your ass" illegal.
>>686 For the machinegun, is there a flavor text that explains that? a quick look at the rules show a ton of SMGs and assault rifles as common IE: "can be found most anywhere". The heavy weapons in the core sourcebook are rare/prohibited, but those are like, 20mm autocannons and missile launchers. I'm probably overlooking something. I think the ultimate answer though is basically "run the game how you want to", which kind of sucks because like with the ROF rule, I want to play as the author intended it.
>>687 Looking through the Night City books, there is also a few comments about firearms, specifically that there are several areas where its a free for all, and in general armed self defense is the norm. Pages 32 and 34 note that you can "...see more guns than briefcases" in some areas. Also, this was written in 1990. its like playing the equivalent of any movie that tried to predict what current year looked like in the 80s.

Done with WOTC - Card Printing? SaltyPlayer 01/13/2023 (Fri) 21:13:33 Id: 83101d No. 569 [Reply]
Anyone know of a good proxy printer that prints cards that are pretty legit? I don't intend to sell them, just to have them without giving wizards any more money. I don't care if they don't pass the light test, just close inspection by someone wanting to look at the card.

Hunter: the reckoning Anonymous 07/30/2021 (Fri) 11:12:42 No. 336 [Reply]
Finally a chance to strike back at the darkness. With the help of some God given edges you play a mortal taking on werewolves, vamps, mummys whatever. A hell of a lot of fun even if most games involve a pc death or two.
>>336 The hook for the corebook is that you a random individual become empowered or imbued with special powers and find a 90s website, and get redpilled. The book conveys this with fake webpages and urls in the top of the page. Considering where we are now the idea of a special website that teaches you about demons in human form hiding in plainsite and manipulating society is pretty funny. They talking about us in a way.
Kinda off-topic but I really wish that hunter had gotten a game like vampire the masquerade bloodlines. It would have been so fucking good.
>>511 I mean, we did get a series of top-down brawlers which were pretty cool. That being said I wish the power-level bullshit between the various "races" wasn't so stark in White Wolf. I want to combine the streetfighter rules with the other sourcebooks to either make Darkstalkers: The RPG or something like Nightslashers where the players, as regular humans, use their superlative fighting skills to kick monster ass. Thing is I'm not sure a game like Bloodlines would work with Hunter unless you put more work into companions since it seems like a given with how the books portray things that you almost NEVER work alone as a Hunter.

Honestly, not a bad game. Once you add in feretory for the travel and hunting rules, you get a decent system thats pretty easy to pick up, and can please a lot of people. I don't think I'd call it OSR though

>>549 That all sounds pretty neat. Can you tell me about the setting? is there a way to save the world?
>>550 The setting is the continent shown. It's surrounded by an endless sea. No islands, you sail off one end, you'll come back likely worse for wear by whatever forces are out there. There are 3 non heretical gods. Nechrubel, and the two, basilisks each with 2 heads Verhu the most important one predicts the travesties corectly time and time again, and talks of the worlds end whispered to him by Nerchubel . So everybody knows the end is coming, and the worlds in stagnation because of it. As for saving the world, the book is very vague on it, as it is many things, but there is a section on what the basilisks demand So in short, yes... if you want it to be saved. As for how the world ends 6 events randomly rolled for will happen 1 by 1. An event happens on the roll of a 1 on a die rolled each dawn (type of die chosen at the start of the campaign depending on how long you want things to last) the 7th time the word ends. The book is made in such a way that you're supposed to make your own interpretation. Personally I don't think the world can be saved. The basilisks are powerless to stop it and Nerchubel is the one in control, and he will end the world. The basilisks enjoy the worship and make demands to give people hope so they keep worshiping them and killing heritics. I have included the Free Bare Bones version of the game. It's every thing from the base book except the art, and the mini adventure.
>>551 just want to make it clear that the pdf IS FREEWARE. There is no copyright violation by sharing it. It can be gotten for free on Drive theough or Mork Borg's website.

Custom Magic set feedback. Anonymous 07/05/2021 (Mon) 23:07:50 No. 316 [Reply] [Last]
Hello I'm working on a MTG set with the intent of what i t might have looked like if it was made in 1995. I'm disgusted by modern Magic, and long for the games of old. The set is called Reflections. I was wondering if I can get recommendations and feedback on cards, as well as for a few art recommendations. I'm trying to keep all the art from the public domain.
