Yes, I want to endlessly talk about Blades in the Dark (just had our 4th or 5th session today), but when I've posted the thread about the system it slid off the catalog.
We're playing Vigilantes, and things are looking up - we're on the verge of exterminating Red Sashes, we're close to finishing our feud with Crow's Foot Bluecoats, we're close to getting our first cohort, a bluecoat named Grumbling Ben, whom we've previously stopped from racketeering a kebab shop. Personally, I'm planning a huge dive into the occult - capturing an Ancient Obelisk from the local cult under lord Scurlock's patronage and maybe picking the Occultist special ability, so that I can consort with forgotten gods.
We've just spent all our coin and reputation on upgrading our tier, something that was absolutely useless since we immediately went to war (which lowers your tier), but I guess at some point soon this war will come to an end.

Is there anything YOU wanna talk about?

>>97878423
I want to talk about how I miss gaming culture. I miss having a shared community to discuss games and their editions. Discords ain't it. Social media ain't it. The pace of releases is fucked, and almost every game has nothing to talk about. They give us less room to imagine, and less room to play.
Because you know what I really want to discuss? Whatever the fuck is going on in World of Darkness lore, whatever cool wargame is coming to save us from GW, actual mechanics and fluff. The medium is booming in sales, but there's less and less that will ever lead you to interact with another person.
But you know what? I like Thrilling Adventures. It's using the old d6 system now and it's cool.

I wish I wasn't nogames.

There are many days when I give serious thought to leaving my wife. I love her and I think I'm on the whole happier with her than I was before I met her, but I find it hard to find good things to say about her. She's fat, has an abrasive personality, and gets pissy when I try to make time for myself to go to the gym or do things with my male friends. She makes token gestures to try to improve herself but more often than not "just can't" because she's too tired or emotionally activated or whatever other excuse she's using to sit on her phone and scroll through her manhwa or watch Netflix for 3 hours a night. We have very little in common beyond that we like fucking each other (though that has dried up as well, I'm lucky to get it 3 or 4 times a month now due to reasons above). I don't want to leave because I'd get fucked by the legal system, she's the best I can do, and because I don't want to lose access to my daughter. There are enough fatherless white women in the world, and I would know, because I married one.

Also she is "that player" in my D&D tables. Granted I am new when it comes to DMing, but she loves the spotlight and throws curveball after curveball at me. I suppose the one positive thing that I can say about her is that when she gets invested in something, she reaches almost autistic levels of investment, so I suppose I should be thankful for that.

I'd love to drone on endlessly about my Cleric, how he's probably going to go into some crazy fucking adventures once the party finally defeats this fucking dragon and finally leaves orc-australia (which we've been at since I joined 3 years ago).
Or talk about builds, or better yet, spell selection. I always struggle a bit with that. Also, magic items.
There's some interesting low cost shit like the Ring of Enduring Arcana that could save his ass.
Or maybe how I'd like to get him a dragon mount both for the movement and because I think there's a fun opportunity for interactions with his Celestial Raven familiar.
Imagine, he pulls up to a fight with one raven on each shoulder than one of the ravens becomes a gold fucking dragon.
That would be glorious.

Also, Crusaders aren't "Communists" like some people say - they're an anti-royalist faction that want to replace traditional Quarish Monarchies with a "Meritocratic" system of Clan-councils.
So they're militant Republicans, basically.

To prove that I am also games, I'm in-between delayed Lancer sessions, and my other campaign is a 5.5e Eberron game that's pretty much just waiting to die. Our next session of the 5e game is going to be our DM announcing an indefinite hiatus due to how long the campaign has dragged on caught up on early narrative hooks compared to the actually cool stuff that he wanted us to get to (i.e., what made him want to run Eberron in the first place), and with his Shadowdark books arriving soon, the DM's interest in the Eberron campaign's dried up
The Lancer game's been a lot of fun, but we're only just getting off the GM's tutorial island of sorts, so things'll open up a lot going forward. My character's a disgraced noble who's bankrolling our home planet's operation against Harrison Armory but who wants to start building connections around the planet to re-establish a hereditary monarchy with himself at the top and the former princess as his bride, but the party's got a hardline schizo and a psychopath in the crew. Keeping everything balanced without it falling out of his grasp will be a lot of fun, I think

I mostly just wanted to start a discussion about the board itself and invite sincere conversation from the less-dishonest real posters that're still here. I didn't care what ended up being the thread's direction, really. I know there are humans on this board, and I figured my post'd be lacking enough in keyterms to make the bots and annoying faggots leave out of boredom pretty quick and I/we could just see people talking about their thoughts. You know, dialogue without (much) contention. Seems to have worked desu

>>97880923
Oh, and it's so fucking far out of my mind I forgot about it, but at some point my V5 game will start. I'm bearish on the system mechanics themselves, and since I started my brainstorming one of my players died, but I still kind of look forward to doing it

The one game we played, my players chose a cult, with the power to communicate without speaking. They were the cult of friendship and glitter and happiness.

Powered by human sacrifice.

It's a shame the core book's lore part is such an unusable tangled mess, I'd play it again. But I would rather sandbox it, that is, create stuff as I go, rather to try and figure out who tbey should stumble upon next.

I'm about a dozen sessions in to my Stormlight RPG game, and we just finished the one module the game has (which is canon to the narrative of the books), so now I'm off the rails in terms of game setting. I've got a couple of options in how I can use the established setting, and the module ends in the gap between two books, meaning for now it's all up in the air without interfering with established canon.
My options are:
>Have them avoid most of the events of the books, and use the events happening elsewhere as a backdrop to whatever the players are doing.
Upside: Don't have to worry about interfering with the plot if I want to use things later. This is similar to running a sandbox in a pre-established setting but there'd be walls to prevent them from affecting the major events that happen later on in the timeline of the setting.
Downside: I've got to come up with all new content that doesn't contradict future events.
>Have them play second string to the main characters in major scenarios, having them deal with the combat and the aftermath of whatever decision the main characters make in terms of plot direction
Upside: I can just follow the book's events
Downside: The players might feel a lack of agency if they're not affecting the plot
>Have them replace the main characters, or at least the main characters become second fiddle to the players instead
Upside: The players will control the plot and I can still use some of the plot depending on how things develop
Downside: The players can more easily torch the plot and then I've got to throw out a bunch of previously usable story. This is similar to the players doing something in a regular game where you have to toss out a section that you have planned, but in this case I have to try and salvage what I can since a lot of the cool narrative moments they would have replacing the main characters depends on the events unfolding the way they do in the books.

>>97878423
Not with /tg/, because /tg/ doesn't actually play games nor do they believe anyone else plays games, and I know this board of faggots who if they did play games would turn every tavern into a 5th dimensional space with everyone in their own corner brooding would not appreciate the latest player character I'm set up to play when the game I'm currently in wraps up in the future. Or that character for that matter.

rant.
Yesterday I left the campaign/group game and I kinda bummed out. I dunno if it was on my part or on the rest of the group but definitely there was some cognitive dissonance, I dunno if things were always like this and I never realized or if changed but I couldn't keep in the game because i wasn't having fun.

I've been playing in this campaign for like 2 years and we just reached high level (the mid point of the hightest level on the system), when I started I got really good rolls so I picked a kinda average class to compensate but turned out it was more subpar than just average still had fun with the char, sure he ended bloodied and bruised but you should have seen the other guys, he always stood up when he fell and never backed down. GM even praised the char's development, how it was build and how it kept evolving through the years and levels.

But since we reached that high level things have completely changed, now my character (features, class, options I picked) are meaningless, the only thing that matters is "do I have X magic item to counter this encounter? no? then I'm useless", none of my features are useful, they used to be but now are useless and easily outclassed by magic items, items that the GM tells us to buy in masse:
I was a really good athlete, but now everybody flies and it's expected to everybody to have items that grant them flight...so my athletism and physical skills are useless
I was really good at grappling, locking, throwing, etc enemies, but now everybody is either outright inmune or I can't win the skill challenge against the enemies
My willpower was the highest of the group but now it is meaningless and you need outright inmmunity through magic items, so all that invesment was for nothing
I was very perceptive and insightful but now they can hide their intentions through magic or be invisible with such ease, and the difficulty to spot them outpaces my skills

I want to talk about the fucked up age we're living in where the most highly praised systems and books on the market are all dog shit and lacking in any real design sense. Games that offers you some shitty, vague dark souls item flavor text lore and then pretends like the possibility that an imaginary guy could come along and free-associate and improv his way into make a really good campaign with that garbage is a reason to treat that game like greatest thing to happen to TTRPGs.

>>97881358
cont.


My GM told us to adapt our characters to the current situation and everybody outright went the "ok the character is the same, same name, and backstory but now he's a full optimized cleric instead of a full beer and pretzels rogue" and the GM not only is ok with that he's trying to make me do also do that. Look I have no problem starting a new game from this level, but this retcon is a no for me, and I also feel cheated and tricked when the same GM who told me he liked my char the most and loved it's evolution so much is tell me now to drop and change all that like it never existed

>>97881203
As someone currently in a Cosmere RPG that's likely to run into that same situation soon, I think keeping them parallel to canon and not being afraid to go off the rails is probably the most fulfilling option as a player. Playing second fiddle to the book protagonists and being "plot roadies" that keep the books on track would feel very lame (especially if any of your players Spoke The Words) and replacing the book events with your own characters would just feel like an awkward fanfic.

Now I'm behind a book or two so I can't say too much how things develop, but I think there's two broad avenues open for you
>invent some new issues for them to chase (lean on player backstories, no doubt their PCs will be worried about how the Desolation has affected their hometowns or loved ones) that may or may not intersect with the book characters, you can let them partake in major events in their own way without running roughshod over the books' plots but maybe tweaking certain outcomes
>just say fuck it and have them join the books' cast. While the end result will probably veer off the narrative tracks, this might actually give you more direction over the PCs as they'll be working for/with the book protags and you can give them concrete objectives they'll be obligated to complete since they're part of a larger team now
Ultimately though, I'd say just talk with your players. See how they feel and depending on how much they know about the books (our group has someone who never read any of Stormlight and accidentally made an extra suicidal Kholin, for example) they might not even really feel the difference between the various options

I get where you're both kinda coming from in terms of the enshittening of everything. The solution sadly seems to be a turn to the past: forums, for what little good THEY still have left, and playing old systems with irl friends who're already in the hobby space. I can't fucking imagine starting a new campaign from scratch with people under 25, at this point. Nobody reads the rulebooks for even just what their own characters do, let alone how the game works. You're stuck in 5e hell for eternity or playing borderline-improv games while fucking around drinking, as if the game is only the pretense to hang out rather than the thing you're hanging out for in the first place

I might just go back to watching movies and reading books, lads. Everything feels fucking grim, but it's even worse being online. Browsing /tg/ outside of the generals is just a cesspool of p*ckee, outright AI and bot posts, disingenuousness to such an extreme that I have to assume it's all bad actors trying to kill this site and/or stir up civic outrage (even outside of /pol/). I open a relevant general once in a blue moon, because it honestly seems like they're all that's left, and even those feel like they're clinging on to echoes and memories

I guess I'll run my WoD games, try to get the table to try old dungeon crawlers, maybe give Shadowdark a go, and hope to god nobody else at my table dies. Fuck you, Chris

>>97878495
You mean the one from couple days ago? It slid off, because pretty much everyone involved told you that the system doesn't work and then moved on with their lives, while you didn't bother to reply even to that.

>>97878423
Sure, a couple of subjects, none of which is actually possible or feasible to discuss on /tg/ since like 2018 or so
>People's experience with playing Pirate Borg in long-term arrangement, rather than one-off campaigns and one-shots
But that means instantly having faggots get out of the woodwork to bitch and moan about [Prefix] Borg and the whole thread being instantly derailed to shit on Mork Bork and who is true metal head and who's a poser
>People's experience with playing OVA
Instantly gets derailed with either bitching about "hurr abandoned game" or "anime durrr"
>GM exchange market, where people toss around their solutions to others problems and ideas on handling specific types of gameplay or analysing concepts for campaigns
90% of people who actually play games and are still on /tg/ are total fucking newfags, so they have virtually no experience to exchange, and then you get faggots coming out of the woodwork insisting this belongs to generals/worldbuilding/whatever, just to kill the thread
>Dice mechanics and probabilities and how different designs affect gameplay and players approach to situations
Average /tg/ user is a complete mathlet, on top of only playing DnD or d20 games, meaning they have no horizon for this at all. Then you get OSR fags who roll in and start bitching how all you need is "simple clear design" (which their games don't have, but oh well), and everything else is leftist propaganda to cuddle the masses.

I'm on this site solely out of force of habit and because the trove is a thing. There is either nobody to discuss with, or any attempt to have a conversation is actively being torpedo'ed

>>97882188
>depending on how much they know about the books
Basically nothing, I tried to get 2 of my 3 players to read it and no dice, though I supposed learning the setting by playing is it's own path.

>>97882767
Can you blame them? The books are absolute fucking tomes. They're page turners once you're actually sitting down and reading (somehow despite the actual plot and characters not being especially good), but I can't blame anyone who doesn't even want to start, or decides to give up after Way of Kings.

>>97882790
The one who actually read anything bounced off of the prologue because it drops dozens of undefined proper nouns, and the other reads manwha but I don't think reads books.

>>97878423
I actually like talking about settings (official or homebrew), but it's hard to spin up serious discussions. I guess the problem is that people are jaded as fuck (and often rightly so) about official settings and no one seems to have the enthusiasm to engage earnestly about homebrew anymore.

Counterpoint:

>I get where you're both kinda coming from in terms of the enshittening of everything.
When it comes to overhyped RPG systems, the strange thing is that they are shitty mechanically (the worst thing a GAME can be) but the production values and overall quality of the books is up. Better art. Better layout. Higher quality products, but lower quality games.

Shadowdark, for instance, is a perfectly fine book. Layout is fine. Art is fine. Nice binding. Good paper quality. For what you're paying for, the physical product is nice!... but the actual rules and material that makes up the GAME that you paid for are worthless garbage.

>>97883472
That'd explain the hype around it, considering nobody bothers reading the book for the games they play. Shadowdark then isn't a good game, but the image of a good game, such that it appears from all its ornamentation to be something enjoyable but the substance is bad, and people who just buy and play things on vibes can't tell the difference anyway

My hope is that this specific group finds it interesting enough to springboard off to playing better systems afterwards, since Shadowdark will at least prove pretty low-commitment compared to the giant tome of drek that is 5e
One of the DMs no longer wanting to run 5e is the real clincher for me. God willing we try stuff that's good and fun next

>>97881016
I've really wanted to play cult, but nobody else wanted to. The other two players each wanted Smugglers and Shadows, but nobody else wanted each other's preferred option. Vigilantes were something we all liked, so we settled on that.

>It's a shame the core book's lore part is such an unusable tangled mess
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to just make up 90% of the lore. Dagger Islanders live without lightning barriers. How? Somehow. Make it up. Iruvians are clearly meant to be some kind of arabs, but what are Dagger Islanders? Don't know, make it up. We've decided they're mexicans.
It's fine by me, I'm here to play the game, not read endless loredumps. What lore the game provides is enough.

I guess the hope of threads like this is that the mods of /tg/ realise that there is something wrong with the way the board is run.

That's not the problem with this board. The problem with /tg/ is the insanely toxic hyper-negativity. The vermin on 4chan have normalized that behavior of just acting like everything anyone says is the worst most stupid and wrong thing ever possible fucking ever. You can't even say "I like games!" without some shithead Zoomer screeching /pol/ shit and flooding the thread with their hateful ranting.
Partly this is a community problem. You fucking assholes need to improve your fucking selves. For fucking real.
And partly it's a problem with the jannies not doing their fucking job, so the /pol/ propaganda machine just keeps spamming everything, preventing actual discussion because Putin needs more incel chuds to continue destabilizing democracies.

I don't think either of these issues will ever be addressed now, it's just too late. You can't cure the mind virus, you can only prevent it. 4chan is permanently a seedy ghetto and cesspit, and the slow special topic boards like this one are just a last dreg of alt-culture types who sometimes get sick of the toxic positivity of places like reddit.

Retarded take. 4chan was a place of fun and whimsical antics. Then the election tourists showed up and believed that being a cynical culture warrior at all times was 4chan culture. And then the people that followed the election tourists showed up and believed that if they were to fit in, even if they had no real opinions on a topic, that being hostile and antagonistic at all times was how they were supposed to fit in. Repeat for a decade.

>so the /pol/ propaganda machine just keeps spamming everything
See this shit right here? This is how I know you're an election tourist.

>Toxic positivity isn't that much better than toxic negativity, but it IS better.
Both are bad. Don't kid yourself.

Man, you had me agreeing until that point, but you're just a dumbass DEMONcrat nigger.

>>97886194
Okay, so, >>97885380 then? Or are you just incredibly bad at conveying your thoughts?

>>97886424
I explicitly said both are bad. And if you had a reading comprehension skill better than a gnat, you'd also see that it's possible for two bad things to not be equally bad.
I've been on 4chan since it launched, and knew of moot when he was on something awful before that. You need to pipe down, little bitch, before you draw attention to origins of the /pol/ board, who was involved in creating it and why. Because this isn't a thread about documented history, it's a thread about /tg/ and more specifically what can be done to improve it.
Thanks for proving my points, I guess. But still, shut your little fartbox up.

>>97882303
I mean... why are you even worried about Zoomers, anon? Just stop playing with children, your games will be so much better. Your problem isn't tabletop gamers, your problem is that you're feeling burnt out and you associate with too many illiterate children.
I propose that you develop some proper vetting techniques / filters for applicants, advertise as explicitly non-D&D, and exercise patience. Case in point, the gamefinder thread is currently up, here. And there's a billion posts on various reddit lfg subs. Etc. etc. And guess what I don't see in those places? Advertisements for non-D&D games... Which means you have only yourself to blame if you are only playing D&D and hating it. Not playing D&D is better than playing D&D. Be the change you want to see in the world. You want D&D to stop being the only fucking thing anyone plays? Then play other fuckin' games. It's pretty simple.
Collective action dilemmas have been known and understood for centuries.

I was a fan of the show back in the day, and the fantasy setting is honestly really easy to set up for some adventure shenanigans. War between the moon and sun, magical creatures made from living stars, your pick of whacky fantasy creatures with specific niches, etc. And Fallout: Equestria was a huge thing in the fanfiction community too, and I had just gotten into the games at the time with Fallout 3, so there's a lot of nostalgia there for both halves of the equation. We do plenty of lampshading because obviously the premise is inherently silly (how the fuck do Pathfinder's hand rules work with hooves? Who the fuck knows) but it's mostly played straight.

I got into tabletop and roleplay fucking around on Warcraft 3 roleplay maps on Battle.net when I was like nine or something. My cringe inhibitors barely exist as long as I don't have to talk out loud.

>>97878423
I miss how the internet was before 2016 in general and this place in particular.

I was here already and I think it was towards the end of what I liked about /tg/. I saw the end of the weekend smut threads and when GW took out chapter master. The "best thread on /tg/ right now" reactions. Magnus did nothing wrong etc.

Then whatever happened happened, then covid, and people became polarised, isolated and weird. This place used to be comfier (the generals don't help) and /tg/ used to do things even if it was full of waifufags. Hop over on /vg/ and /v/ and a bunch of us are posting about Macha and Cultist-chan because we achieved nothing since then and because somehow the 40k games threads over there feel more like this place did back then.

I really hope the people who left did so because they are OK and happy doing their things IRL. I hope my fellow /wst/ writers and artists are doing fine. If it wasn't for them I'd never have picked up a pencil.

>>97886365
>Putin
ah yes Putin. the one spamming gore and ukraine threads on /k/ and the reason that board hasnt been usable for years because every time anything remotely russian gets even mentioned Putin’s minions show up to spam gore, tired memes, and drone cameras. Oh wait no that was faggots like you.

Then yeah, I guess you have free reign to "railroad" and borrow the books' plots a little heavier. Our GM has it a little more difficult, as half the group is current with the books as well as other Cosmere series and I've read enough of Stormlight to know the setting and plots to a degree, though it's been a while and my memory is muddy (for example earlier I said Kholin when I meant he made a more suicidal Kaladin).

It's a fun little system and I hope you find something that works for you and your group.

>>97886929
What's there to convey? It's stripped down to nearly nothing, with classes that have nothing special going on, and also 5e's advantage/disadvantage mechanic. There's nothing else to say about it. That's the point. 60 fucking dollars for a fancy book full of nothing, and especially large print so it can fill out the page count and look like a real RPG, even though it barely has enough rules to fill one page.

>>97887113

You explicitly did not.

Nice of all these kind anons to immediately prove your claims correct to a tee with their replies showing that they are matter-of-factly the ones with souls so warped that what dialogue between real people here does exist inevitably gets torched by shitflinging caused by people acting exactly as they are. You tried, Anon, but at least it was funny

>>97887144
I don't play with zoomers, I play with my friends, but friends die and younger siblings and cousins and family friends get into games, and those same people invite others to games too. I DON'T play DnD and in fact the very post you're replying to includes me explicitly stating I am playing other games, but the broader problem in the community as a whole clearly exists and getting other people into the hobby and THEN to get them to move away from the cultural hegemon is something most people deal with in some fashion or another if they have irl tables

And god help me if I ever voluntarily play with the people now infesting this board who, themselves, cannot find games irl to satisfy them for various reasons that almost all likely speak to their own personality defects

Since the official setting and where Stonewalkers ends takes place during the one year span between book 3 and 4, I've got plenty of time to run sessions where I only have to plan around future events instead of current ones, though I might eventually do a timeskip (in my mental timeline, the players won't even notice) to get to the events of the 4th book, if I run out of things to do.
So for this time gap, the events which were either alluded to in the books include the manufacturing of the Fourth Bridge, the fall of Herdaz (which there's not much info about), plus all the plot hooks in the World Guide. I'm also tempted to shelf the player's characters when Mistborn drops, that way they'll still have playable characters for when the Shadesmar module drops, but they'll probably be way over the recommended level depending on how many sessions I run between now and then (I try for every two weeks but it's been a month since my last session because one player is always busy).

Man, I feel this to my core ngl but the only way we can combat this incessant bullshit IS to talk about it, what we love about TTRPGs and why we care about their continued viability to be a game. It sucks, it really does, but we have but only one power to use against them so we might as well use it. Sorry for being a Optimistic Ophelia but that's just how I see it. Anyone gota better plan because I'm all ears.

Live out of spite for a world that wants to see you dead.

You're all massive hypocrites. You talk about this board like there's something terribly wrong with it (there is), that you would much rather go back to the comfy times you had discussing games like before the culture shift, but then you look inside those games and they're full of conflict, chaos, and combat, DELIBERATELY engineered discord for your entertainment. You make worlds that suck to be in, and then you have the stones to complain about how your own little snippet of reality is sucking. Karma's a butch, innit.

I'm actually in a weird situation now.
I did actually stop being nogaemes and now I go to events and know some people in the Nottingham industry.

But now because it's kind of a niche with small but known companies I can't really post about it without doxxing myself.

Then again Louise Sugden used to post here.

>>97878423
I use TTRPGs as one of my many avenues for escape from this suicide-provoking world yet I don't think I've ever had a wholly positive experience playing them. Even the games that start off strong run out of steam very quickly and the group dissolves. Sometimes, I'll just leave the group prematurely over the dumbest and pettiest shit imaginable. Frankly, I blame myself for being a miserable bitch who keeps searching for that "perfect game" yet never being satisfied with what's in front of me. What's worse is that my own games are mediocre at best, which makes me not want to take on the role of being a GM anymore. It all makes me question if this hobby is even for me.

I want to talk about how bad the maps in Deadlands the Weird West are and how difficult it is to find the information needed to clarify the different parts of the setting.
I had to read through an entirely different game line, the Great Rail Wars just to find information beyond the most basic details which weren't much better than a few dates and a few names. There was somehow information in the Smith and Robards Catalog for Locomotive Armor but there were no stats for locomotives or how to determine their stats until going to the Great Rail Wars where the vehicle supplement in that game line was about almost everything other than trains and the upgrade system in that did not add any of the flavor that you would expect from the different rail wars factions.

>>97892763
I would love to see what you dug up someday.

>>97892906
For maps, I ended up relying upon Google Maps + Acres' PLSS square mile plat maps + its railroad layer function.
The locomotives had to be drawn up off of the Derailed supplement from The Great Rail Wars but they don't use any form of currency in that game line that matches up to the Deadlands Weird West game line, so I had to do my best to match up reasonable prices to determine faction resources sent against the posse.
There was still very little flavor information beyond a bunch of hero units and a small handful of normal mook enemies per railroad faction to draw from in the Great Rail Wars.

It's a great alt-history steampunk/weird western setting! It's all I've been playing for the last half a year before branching off into Dark Ages Vampire/Werewolf this week for a bit of variety.
I previously played the Deadlands Classic long ago, then reloaded, this last few campaigns its been GURPS Deadlands adaptation. They all have their own charm.

I wanna host a 40k custom homebrew system adventure where you are tasked by the inquisition to investigate a planet due to the rumor of a STC of a astrates chapter being stolen and conveniently the planet is turning it's hive world into a forge world.

But none of my dnd buddies are autistic enough to know the lore or be interested in it.

It fucking sucks

And yes I already posted to the game finder thread

Two topics really. Nikoli logic puzzles and Cribbage. I feel like Cribbage does a lot of things better than modern tabletop board games. The solo variants people developed over the years are shockingly in vogue when you look at how many games are now including solo modes. In some ways Cribbage feels like it came from the future even though it's more like it evolved. The depth of the scoring will reward a lifetime of study. It's so solid that several games have been built on the scoring mechanics alone. The game is balanced in such a way that players at different skill levels can still play together. The casual player will always have a chance of getting a few lucky deals. The skilled player will always have to watch how they play to maximize their chances of winning. The game is easily adapted to three, four, or even more players. The Cribbage Squares variant plays like a modern tile laying game like Cosmolancer. The main problem with Cribbage is that it's tricky to learn without somebody teaching you the game. It's maybe a bit too clever for its own good. I know some people would prefer a little less chance in their games but this is actually a seriously problem with a lot of games. One player gets good and then suddenly nobody wants to play them anymore. As for Nikoli logic puzzles... well I can't help it... I'm obsessed with the things. Slitherlink, Nurikabe, Heyawake. These are like perfect information abstract games on a single sheet of paper. The purest kind of game. Solo perfection.

It doesn't matter the quality. Almost every thread on this board is shit simply because it isn't something I'm interested in, but I don't advocate destroying the rest of the board.

https://gabyno.itch.io/inversion-rpg It's a free rules-medium system that I would love for people to read, but it's a lot of pages, and I can't expect people to do that for free.

I've felt a persistent sense of doom and uselessness since my dad died four years ago, and I feel like I might have developed manic-depressive syndrome or made a preexisting but subtle condition much worse. I've gained 30lbs over the past year and, until recently, I've felt like my life was effectively over and I'm just kinda going through the motions of life. I've been feeling better lately but I fear that my entire life will be a series of epiphanies where I finally can fix the thing keeping me from being my happiest self when the thing actually keeping me back is me. I'm starting to lose weight again but it really sucks. Maybe I should do that fatty contest on /fit/.

No. I'm specifically the kind of autist who can never raise a subject, but when someone else raises a subject I love to engage with it. I lack creativity, but find nigh-orgasmic bliss in the process of refinement and winnowing. This itself is a reason I delight in TTRPGs; I cannot freeform roleplay for shit, but when given the mechanical structure of classes or character archetypes and a world to build within, my muse sings and my heart dances.

Not a big fan of logic puzzles though. I prefer cryptic crosswords, which are the opposite of logical.

I really want a goth-lite gf that will erp jerking off and sucking my Minotaur's ringed cock. Then allow me to put her my kennels while I open them all up so my 16 dire wolves can breed her tight pussy again and again for hours. How in the FUCK am I every going to meet this girl? I know they exist because of those smut books selling like hotcakes there for a hot minute. I just want to see her eyes sparkle when I describe how hot my thick ropey spurts of cum are in between her tits. Goddamn. I hate my life.

This was a lot of fun to read, i remember seeing your post but ignoring it since there was no link or pdf (i remember i clicked on the picture thinking it was a pdf :P)

-about the Setting-
Fascinating, beautiful, and made specifically for adventuring, it is a delight, and has that hopeful post-apocalypse feel you were trying to use (with a suitable dark underbelly).

The different options (ancestry, classes, equipment) were all interesting, playing in this setting is sure to be good for an adventure.

I fear that the system has far too many new aspects that the average person doesnt know about which would make it hard to introduce, but i think since TTRPG players are mostly fantasy nerds they will pick up on it easily.

No notes from my side on the setting, theme and how the game is built around the setting, its all well done.

-about the Gameplay-
The system is good all in all, but i noticed that there were far too many things to keep track of, and way too many moving parts. the dodging in combat is an example of this.
Also guns are disappointing on their own, but with abilities (like the Rune Gunner stuff) they become too powerful.

The above is a personal opinion, i know people that love having tons of trackers and moving parts.

I personally feel you made many choices just to differentiate yourself from other games.

I loved the skills and how they worked.

-About Layout-
an indie game with an actually good layout that is neither word-doc-shaped (like mine :P) or an "artistic" disaster?? how did you do it?
this is actually the most impressive thing here. YOU DID GREAT. (although i feel you leave too many spaces for future pictures).

-Personal Advice-
The game is complete, start playing it now, invite people to start an actual campaign (even short-form is fine), make an LFG with this game concept, try it out before you finalize it.

Don't fear having to rebuild root concepts if you have found them too unwieldy, its natural.

The new movie did an after-credits retcon which mean's Korra isn't canon anymore and Toph isn't a slut who's daughters have separate fathers Toph can't even remember the names of

>Korra isn't canon anymore
Did they actually? You can't give me fucking hope like that, anon. Don't you fucking lie to me.

There is a player in our group that consistently cheats. I mean consistently. In 3 campaigns he has never missed an attack roll or failed a saving throw. He fakes damage, he lies about dice rolls and shifts the dice rolls. The DM doesn't do anything about this because he says "the guy is having a hard time" because he just went through a divorce. But its killing the vibe at the table because whoa look at that he passed another ability check, he hit an attack roll again, oh wow he passed a save really that never happens

>>97897363
The only recourse is to allow him to corrective rape one of your wives.

>>97897348
In the after credits the Gaang discover surviving Flying Bisons while searching for Airbender artifacts. That's the retcon because in Korra they're rediscovered on an Island in the Fire Nation that the people living there took care of since the Airbender genocide. It's one of those retcons that isn't in your face about it but if you're aware of the lore so far you'll pick up on it

That's probably what people think, yeah, but only because they're cowards that don't want to face reality. It's up to you to spread that misery and make sure they realize How Bad Things Really Are.
>>97897374
To me that sounds like the writers just forgot their own timeline. Unless that was the entire focus of the end credits.

Why is posting here so hard?

>>97897363
What kind of fucking cuck allows people to cheat others and themselves because they're having a hard time? We're all having hard fucking times, it's not an excuse to be a fucking asshole.

>>97897374
Sounds minor but it gives me a small measure of hope.

>>97896398
feeling physically healthy will bring you joy, stuffing your face with instant gratification only briefly relieves the misery and is why you feel depressed the instant you stop eating junk food and jacking off. but as usual you reveal you don't want to solve your problems.

There's still some of us old fags knocking about with a bit of spirit. Not many, but a few. Puckeeslop and the constant raids and spam have butchered the place though.

>>97898356
I remember those, it was a long time ago.
I didn't participate, but it fostered a spirit of generosity and cooperation.
There's a paucity of that nowadays.

But then, "diversity" and "adversity" are semantically linked.

>>97886365
Look at all the zoomies shitting their pants and seething because you told them the truth. They don't want to be called out because they have turned 4chan into Xitter with their crappy behavior.

It's minor but it's treated as a big surprise since they went from looking for Airbender artifacts and found living Fly Bison instead.
That's why it's not really in your face about it, it's one of those if you know you know moments and only if you stayed for the after credits

Hey, I've actually playtested his game, and I'm really curious what you mean by "Also guns are disappointing on their own," because that was not my experience. You've given a lot of very interesting feedback, but this one is really confusing for me, as I've built a few characters; a sword and gun guy, a 2h sword guy, and a mage, and they all felt pretty good.

hey thanks for taking a look at the game!

About the Dodge thing, I actually agree, and so do some of my playtesters! A rework is coming to it in Beta 4.

Quick thing about the personal advice, I have been playtesting! There have been a total of ~30 ish playtests, and 6 of those were full 1 to max level tests. 5 of those were 1 to level 12, and 1 of those was when max level was 30.

But almost all of those playtests were before the current version (Beta 3 is version 31 for context). There haven't been a ton of recent playtests because my focus is on Beta 4 where Dodge is getting reworked to be more interesting.

Have some other preview art since you took the time to respond.

>>97899406
This reminds me of legendary journeys, the art I mean.

The list of?

>>97878423
No.

3.5 with complete arcane and divine is still the only system btw

>>97900749
I dunno, I agree with the spirit of your suggestion, but I do think there are a few specific things in complete divine in particular that are a bit janky or game breaking.
I strongly prefer a properly patched PF1e for 3.x style d20 play. But it's kind of a silly thing to quibble about because once you remove the game breaking shit that was published or exclude the munchkin cheese, there really isn't any significant difference between the two. And anyone who still thinks there is... is the problem. So at least it's an easy way to detect and filter the poison during the player application phase.

How is Lancer? A little wary given the woke nonsense and communism jerking in the preamble

>>97897363
Sit next to him and watch what number is rolled then say it out loud

>>97897363
Have you considered just talking with him like the pair of adults you two presumably are and explaining to him that while you get that he's been having a hard time lately he is really ruining the fun for everyone else and that it would be appreciated if he stopped or something like that.

>>97897087
I couldn't get into cryptic crosswords because so many of them lean on british slang. I like the idea of them though.

Totally off topic, but what the fuck, this is my home board.
I just quit my job of ten years today because my boss decided to fuck with my paid time off with no notice. This isn't a big place, and I've worked directly with him the entire time. This was the last a series of fucked ass moves by him. Fucking sucks.

Do any GMs here use cartography software? I have a copy of Campaign Cartographer 3 rattling around that I've used for years, but curious to see what others use.

>>97901571
That sucks anon, at least you had the balls to stand up to him even if you're temporarily out of the job. What's next?

>>97901710
I have a friend who can get me a gig probably, but I got this far by just randomly making decisions, and it's worked alright so far. I dunno, I didn't plan on completely closing a chapter of my life when I woke up today, so I'm still slightly in shock.

Thanks for asking, and sorry about the blog.

>>97901808
Story time, how'd he fuck with your time anon?

>>97902320
We've always been a small bakery, literally started in my bosses garage selling pastries wholesale to local coffee shops. We've slowly gotten bigger and bigger, a few years ago he threw down serious money on a huge building. Things have been going downhill from there, in all the usual ways: standards falling, squeezing the people who work hard while letting the people who goldbrick kind of skate by. We have vacation time and sick time (a rarity in food service) and the understanding was always no questions asked: your time is your time. I pretty much nuked my sick time year before last because of a health issue I had. I was sick as fuck last week (couldn't get out of bed sick) so I asked if they could just cover my week because I knew I had enough to cover between sick and vacation.

Got my pay stub this week, only sick pay, no vacation. When I asked about it, I got a chatgpt-ass answer about how all vacation time needs to be submitted and approved (something that has *never* been said to anyone before). Fuck that. He's also hired a bunch of his highschool aged kid's friends to replace some of our support staff, they do nothing, treat everyone like shit, and the management has been incredibly shitty to the front of house lately. I'm not the first person who's left recently, and I know I won't be the last.

Bums me out, I put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into that place and I'm definitely taking a pay cut, but fuck, a dude that I've known for a decade couldn't even just give me a heads up, "hey, we've had to change our PTO policy," he waited until I had to get ahold of him? Fucking cowardly.

What a fag. His bankruptcy will be his own fault. Sorry anon.

>>97878495
maybe trying to make the conversation about the system itself is just not an attractive conversation starter and you should have talked about the game sessions instead

>>97902962
There's nothing less interesting than talking about someone else's game sessions. When's the last time you've seen a greentext thread on this board?

>>97902999
that doesn't make the system more interesting

>>97900760
Of, or appropriate to war, yeah.
What's wrong with that, if the game is focused on combat?
Plus, if it's a fantasy game, it's pretty easy to change what's appropriate for war.
