Vampire: the Masquerade Anonymous 07/30/2021 (Fri) 10:03:14 No. 331 [Reply]
The game that became infamous when some florida kid killed his GF parents an drank em. Ah. Good times the 90's. The lore that would get its own apocalypse and relaunch (which sucks). The series that gave the world two pretty good pc games. So fucking good. I love this rpg.

Gundam finally competing against Warhammer 40k in traditional gaming Anonymous 01/04/2025 (Sat) 21:36:55 Id: 642292 No. 1252 [Reply]
This is actually some really big news since Games Workshop has been getting sloppy recently and Gundam can introduce some new competition into the space. Still, I figured this was huge enough news to make a thread on the subject since Gundam is officially /tg/ now. Personally I don't know what to expect, but I hope for good things.

>>1466 That's cool. I had been curious about the card game. It hasn't shown up at any of my locals so I wasn't even aware it was out yet.
>>1547 My friend managed to get into the beta and my LGS were putting up the pre-orders for the structure decks, hence why I was able to get it. He knew what I liked as well, he got me the Zeon attack! deck which comes with two Zaku II and a Char Zaku II mini for the miniatures game.
>>1557 >comes with two Zaku II and a Char Zaku II mini for the miniatures game. Wait so the card game has some ties to the miniature game? If so that's kind of interesting. A unique way to try and get people to try both. Some friends of mine are interested in the miniature game but we also do card games so this could be an easy two for one if they're actually connected outside of being the same franchise.

Ironclaw Anonymous 08/15/2023 (Tue) 12:43:56 Id: 622803 No. 992 [Reply]
Ok I know how this looks but hear me out. Ironclaw has a pretty neat looking system underneath the anthro characters. How it works is that basically you have several different dice depending on your skills, career and gifts. You roll all of them and instead of adding them all up you only take the highest showing number. I thought this was neat since it means lower dice like D4 and D6 can still be useful since difficulty checks seem to generally be on the lower side. Character stats are also kinda funny. They are represented by dice instead of numbers. So when making a character you assign dice to attributes, a D4 in body might represent a weak and scrawny rat. On the contrary a D8 in body might mean the character is quite fit. The funny part though is that both Career and species are stats. So assigning a D4 to a rat would mean that character is really bad at being a rat. Conversely putting a D8 in Species means your character would be far more rat than he is human. Not even anthro anymore, He is just a rat. I am going to be playing this with the group on friday and I am very excited.

/GURPSGEN/ - GURPS General (Refugee Edition) Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 20:30:46 Id: 1d2182 No. 1327 [Reply]
THE OP'S PDF: https://anonymousfiles.org/files/f8805a595539/ GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic. Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game. A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by those who pay attention to file extensions. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere. If you're wondering where to start: - The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use. - A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres. - How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players. - GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds. >TQ: What are you building currently?

>>1327 Has any of you ever tried to mix different magic systems in one setting? I'm thinking about having the d&desque arcane/divine magic divide with arcane magic using the default magic system plus syntactic magic variant on top (the mage can improvise spells by satisfying a spell/skill/trait prerequisite for each verb/noun picked and then rolling on the thaumaturgy skill, with a -1 for any verb/noun other than the first 2, for activation) and divine magic using ritual magic rules, power investiture and the threshold magic rule the thaumaturgy splat.

Is chess a wargame? Anonymous 10/06/2023 (Fri) 21:01:55 Id: a164cd No. 1046 [Reply]
A very simple question. Does chess technically count as a wargame? I think it does, Its not like any other wargame but you do have 2 armies facing off against each other, only instead of controlling territory or wiping the other guy out you are just supposed to kill the king. I think it counts.
9 posts omitted.
>>1046 Yes. Animu fan art people have lately taken to making a joke about it being a straight shota harem type production. The queens are the strongest pieces and the only to women on the board. King, knights, bishops, rooks and pawns are all shotas.
>>1172 I usually see it more as each piece representing a group of units. -Kings can't move much because they're taking with them the core of the kingdom -Queens have their own private armies and lands, with incredibly adept soldiers, from before marriage, but ascended with royal taxes (that's why Pawns can become concubines) -Rooks are strongholds and their movement represents their strategic reach -Bishops counterbalance Rooks, representing how religion spreads influence differently from warfare -Knights are errant groups of war-loving nobles -Pawns are lower nobility suicidally charging their armies, trying to make a name for themselves and marry a daughter into higher royalty But then again, I don't even know how to play besides knowing how the pieces move.

Autistic 30k/Horus Heresy Thread Anonymous 01/24/2023 (Tue) 20:26:56 Id: 22d899 No. 585 [Reply]
Thread for discussion 30k lore, especially the Horus Heresy, in detail. General 40k lore discussion is allowed when applicable. Also general 30k discussion allowed for those of you who play the tabletop game. First topic to break the ice, did Argel Tal do anything wrong? You can argue he made the same mistake as many of his brothers by blindly following Lorgar even into literal hell, but he was also said to be the potential cause for Kharn to turn loyal or at least not become an agent of Chaos. And of course he killed some Custodes even after befriending them.

I want to talk about video games centered around card games like Master Duels, PSX's digimon card game, and so on. Got any interesting games you want to talk about. Simulations like Chaotic recode and Yugioh Pro may count as well since they're technically video games. Video Related is Open Batoru, a card game simulator for a Japanese card game called Wixoss.

>>1263 I'd love to have a virtual AR/VR tabletop, but the technology would need to be more widely adopted. The Oculus Quest 3 for example can do mixed reality using their pretty good colored cameras for example, so we can very easily do that stuff today. The main issue is that not everybody has or wants to have a Quest 3 or the like.

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?

Destroy All Monsters style of campaign Make everyone huge and let them fuck shit up The enemies? Also huge Beat that giant with half a building, throw the monsterpede into a lake, stomp through the dumb enemies barrier, just go wild
Here's an idea: Try being original instead of copying copies of dungeons and dragons.
I've been kicking around one. Basically it's a tabletop version of Invader Zim, Destroy All Humans, and X-COM where you specifically play as alien invaders. The alien threat should most likely be a confederation of different alien races so the players have a lot of options for what to play, but some species would be naturally prone to animosity or better suited to all the same race. This would depend very heavily on session 0 play style to familiarize players with their options and the mechanics. Obviously something more like a xenomorph would be a lot harder to pull off and should have more specialized dice rolls for their character to succumb to instinct. Others could be grays, whose objectives would focus heavily on abductions and study. You really could mine quite a lot of pop scifi for player types and objectives. I would draw the line at lovecraftian entities simply because they're too powerful. I would however save that for NPC alien threats. Because I would also have modules structured around rival alien factions with different invasion methods and even more hostile attitudes, possibly even ones with active human collaborators. The emphasis should be on stealth, and the gameplay very objective-based. Humanity is very much a Humanity Fuck Yeah caliber of enemy mixed with some comic stupidity. The players should be an outlying force relative to their alien affiliation, possibly they crashed by accident, maybe they're the seed invaders meant to gather intelligence, but they shouldn't be the armada or mothership. Effectively blending in or hiding out would be critical to achieving their objectives. Players might get lucky on not being discovered but rest assured once it happens they will not hesitate to escalate the conflict from rednecks all the way up to MIBs if players get careless. This would also be some of the fun, I think some PARANOIA-flavor could be added in where the players are to some degree being set up to fail or get caught, and have to do damage control while attempting to bail on their mission. Actually, it would make a lot of sense for the setup to be that the players crashed their vessel and have to work towards being evacuated from earth undiscovered. Honestly the more I think about it the more scenarios and angles I see possible. There could be peaceable aliens the players could be, and the campaign would focus on establishing contact with the CORRECT type of humans, and dealing with the politics of that, or even having to fight off an invasion from another collection of aliens.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/05/07/2024-pricing-update/ >The price changes for individual products will vary, but in most countries the average change will be between 3% and 5%.* As an example of what you can expect, a squad of Necron Warriors goes up $2 from $50 to $52, £30 to £31.50, and €40 to €41 (or local currency equivalent). > In Sweden and Norway, the average price change will be between 8% and 14%. Well fuck me for being a Nordic I guess. This was entirely expected but I still want to announce it.
Considering how much they charge for plastic crack already, and in the face of increasingly more commonplace 3D printing, this seems like a bad idea. While they are obviously trying to protect their bottom line they've already burned a lot of the faith their customer base has in them and even people who might argue that more recent changes to things like lore and whatnot are subjectively good or bad no body can argue a price hike is not objectively worse. Considering the price increase in your area is likely double or more what other regions are seeing Faggot OP do you have an idea of where you could import from to defray some of the additional cost? Also, we should probably have a News thread to congregate things like this and WoTC hiring pinkertons under.
>>1190 Well thankfully for me I don't buy GW anymore. Worst case scenario this will just make the secondary/used market slightly more expensive for me. As for a news thread, I don't want to have one. Considering how small the board is I am not really seeing a reason not to just make a new thread for any and all news. If this place somehow gets big again then we could make a single news thread but not yet.
3D printing/mold creation and re-use will hopefully help against this as time goes on
