WoTC sending pinkerton thugs to retrieve leaked cards. Anonymous 04/27/2023 (Thu) 11:28:26 Id: 5f1671 No. 784 [Reply]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD9HRueI6Js >Guy orders new magic cards. >Gets sent some unreleased cards instead >WoTC decides to send thugs to his house >They threaten with 200k fines and a decade in prison if they dont hand over the cards. >He complies despite them not having a warrant. Bit of old news at this point but recently we did find out that apparently hasbro had already been using pinkertons quite a few times already. Kinda weird nobody had made a big stink about it already.

Silver Age Sentinels. Anonymous 05/04/2023 (Thu) 04:45:12 Id: 2a9ce8 No. 797 [Reply]
Howdy anons! for this Role Playing season the gang checks out capes and domino masks. heres the wiki history Guardians of Order moved into the d20 market beginning with their new superhero role-playing game, Silver Age Sentinels (2002), which was written by Mark C. MacKinnon, Jeff Mackintosh, and Jesse Scoble, with Steve Kenson and was developed by Lucien Soulban.[1]: 337  Silver Age Sentinels was produced in both a Tri-Stat edition in July 2002 and then a d20 edition released at GenCon 35 later that year.[1]: 337  James Lowder, who had experience with packaging fiction for Green Knight Publishing, moved to assembling book packages for other game companies, including some Silver Age Sentinels fiction for Guardians of Order (2003-2004).[1]: 358  After Guardians of Order went out of business in 2006, White Wolf bought the IPs for some of the company's games, including Silver Age Sentinels.[1]: 339  White Wolf's ArtHaus imprint holds the rights to Silver Age Sentinels.[1]: 228  Dyskami Publishing, founded by Mark C. MacKinnon in 2019, has come out with Absolute Power, billed as the second edition of Silver Age Sentinels. Well thats drier than a dehydrated dog turd what done been in the sun fer a week. Anyway from the guys who brought you Big eyes Small mouth the sailor moon RPG and with the rights currently held by White Wolf of Vampire the Masquerade fame, we have capeshit: the rpg. There are many systems but this uses a hybredized d20 we thought would we easy to use and learn. First session will show us how the hell that goes. The GM has once again changed and so we go again into a new system with a new GM. Lets hope for better luck and more fun all around! And for the departing GM, Au Revoir mon Ami. At least We will always have Paris. Signing off for this seasons issue of "8chan RPG group: These niggers are fucking gay yo" I am your host, Anonymous. I love you anon.

So we wake up at Johns, have breakfast, and make plans for the day. After a brief debate we decided to go to the vets office. So the gang borrowed an old car from John and hit the road. We get to the parking lot and realize we have no plan. Did we make a plan? No we left the psychic with the car and just stumbled into the office. Lobby has an old lady with a dog and a secretary. I go up and lie to the secretary and fail. "Hi I have a very sick guinea pig in my coat here I need a doctor now." "We dont help rodents". So deadwalled I decide to clear the lobby and then bumrush the back office. So I go to the old lady and make an intimidation check, Nat 1. My guy bites his tongue and mumbles at her. She asks if im retarded. Utterly defeated I went back to the car and had a cigarette. Psychic goes in to try his luck with the robot and the speedster. a minute later they all came back to the car cept the robot. He came back 20 minutes later. No one got anything.

>I wish more games used it. What about those weird die, like D3s? I've seen these before, but I've never seen a game that actually uses them.
>>922 I have seen games use D3, Thing is most people just use a D6 for them. I don't even think my local friendly gameshop sells them.
>>923 I should specify, I have seen them used a lot for wargaming. Roleplaying games practically never uses them.

Waifu trading game Anonymous 12/03/2022 (Sat) 04:20:11 Id: 54a6aa No. 531 [Reply]
Some friend recently told me about this idea and you might find it interesting: https://youtu.be/YseF7K2voe8 It's a waifu trading game, the basic description of the game is: >Every waifu is unique and one waifu can be owned by one user at a time >You get 10 waifus when you first start the game >You can get a new waifu every three hours >You can trade waifus with other users >You can give a waifu to another user and he loses the ability to get a new roll for the following three hours So, with that basic ideas in mind, I'm pretty sure it won't be hard to port it to a Python script that uses Lynxchan as user interface. I already worked on several lynxchan apps in the past so that won't be a big trouble, what would be needed is a database of waifus with their respective pictures, franchise name and subject tag (if someone wants to play with vydia,anime or cartoon waifus only for instance) and a server; the rest seems pretty straight forward. Since we are on an imageboard and there aren't accounts, tripcodes would be used to track on the waifu collection of every player. So what do you think?
5 posts omitted.
I am open to the idea but I have no idea how it would be implemented. Do I have to set up the server? Am I going to have to pay for a server? how much work would be involved? Does this site even have tripcodes?
>>893 >Do I have to set up the server? I think a raspberry connected to internet all day could be enough. Another alternative would be a laptop, pretty much any device that could run python would do the work. >how much work would be involved? Haven't tested that yet. I've been running a similar project on a zero for some weeks by now and looks like that's more than enough. >Does this site even have tripcodes? As I pointed out on the OP, using tripcodes was my first though, although I think board owner accounts would avoid people from abusing it. >>891 The game part is anons fighting over who owns which waifu. Pretty much like a cards collecting game.
>>931 Well I can give it a try. Just send me the program and ill try and get it running.

So this game exists.

>>858 >darkstalkers space opera Doesn't really sounds like WoD but I commend your creativity.
>>862 I mainly want to use the Streetfighter/WoD: Combat rules since they look pretty fun and since WoD already has books for all the scary movie monsters that the characters/races in Darkstalkers originated from it seemed pretty logical to use them. That being said, the setting would be the not terribly fleshed out one from the Capcom franchise extrapolated to a pulp (mostly) hard sci-fi future where neither technology nor supernatural entities have destroyed human society. There'd be some contrivances to support that pulp feel (ship artificial gravity, FTL comms and "propulsion", forcefields, etc.) but the technology would otherwise be grounded in current scientific theory and principles. "Supernaturals" would be recognized sophonts whose strange abilities mostly seem to defy completely scientific explanation which has caused a multitude of different (sometime competing) hypothesese, adding an element of magic and mystery into the equation. That being said, I'm not going to invest time into fleshing out these ideas and doing the necessary research into all the associated WoD materials if no one is going to play it. Hindsight being 20/20, I did not realize when I originally posted that I was replying to posts close to a year old, fuck your Negromancy e9d3b0!

In this White wolf classic we see troubled development, odd game mechanics, and a difficult to grasp lore. And all this basically just to RP as a ghost. Every player has a second player playing his character's shadow. And you had to make a pretty deep backstory to play. An odd duck to be sure. Next week we are doing mummy: the something.

Another old white wolf product Shut up I really like d10s. Anyway you better have some knowledge of christianity for this one. Although it helps with all their lines really. You get to be a demon, and then do demon stuff. Like create a cult. Be a serial killer. Or try to track down that traitorous asshole lucifer. Who btw apparently never went to hell. So that's something your bitter about after finally escaping from hell.

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

Whining about modules Anonymous 04/15/2023 (Sat) 03:40:16 Id: 3f7671 No. 769 [Reply]
I was told to repost my post from /v/ onto here so I'm going to do it. Let's talk about modules that you hate from any system. Any books that you fucking despise, and if you want, compare them to ones you like. All of my shit is mostly homebrew, I use books of course for monsters, characters, maps and items, but I make a lot of shit myself. That is because I absolutely fucking despise some of the official adventures. Descent into Avernus is a literal joke, it ruins Baldur's Gate as a setting after Murder in Baldur's Gate made it into such a fucking good setting for adventure. Generally Murder in Baldur's Gate was a top tier adventure, even if it was slightly railroady. >Expands the city so much that it feels like a perfect starting city with a shit ton of things to do in it and interesting politics >Introduces a cast of really good characters >Gives the players the illusion of choice, which although I usually disagree with, I think the story that is told is so fucking good that it is deserving >Gives an actually good story with an actually good, gray conflict with a political story that could geniuently be a reflection of our real world, in a very subtle manner. Murder at Baldur's Gate is a story about extremism and violence, about political violence to be exact and how it spirals out of control, and good intentions leading into hell. It is set in a refugee crisis, and struck between three major political players that all want to improve the city in one way or another, but all of them being manipulated by Bhaal to serve as vehicles of his rebirth. And it's done in such a fucking amazing way that it geniuently feels moving even if you just read through it. And it it quite obvious that it was written by Ed Greenwood, it makes great use of the games as well. You have a choice between three characters that you can support (Pics related) >Ulder Ravengard - A simple son of a blacksmith who rose through the ranks of the Flaming Fist due to his geniuent honestly and adherence to the law. He is a pragmatic politician that wants to make the city into a lawful place, but instead due to his actions and constantly instigating violence he turns into nothing else than a fascistic, brutal dictator at the end of the campaign >Rilsa Rael- A Calimshan Crime Lord, someone who is at the head of the Calimshyte Refugees which are discriminated against in Baldur's Gate, generally forced to live outside of the city in their own ghetto. She wants to protect the underclass of the city and do good for the refugees, but as time goes on becomes nothing more than a simple, violent murderer. >Torlin Silvershield- An aristocrat from the Upper City who wants nothing more than to make sure that the city's traditions are upheld as well as making sure that it survives, but in the process of trying to enforce his vision of what is the best for the city, he becomes a skull and dagger schemer. No matter which one of them you pick, they will keep instigating violence against each other, trying to do different power plays believing themselves to be completely in the right and completely refusing to meet on even ground. They are all extremists, good-intentioned ones, but still extremists, which are too blinded by the idea of protecting the city to realize that they are the ones killing it. It's such a well-written conflict, especially that every single one of them does something fucked up at the end. Ulder turns Baldur's Gate into a Police State with mass executions for even the slightest crime. Rilsa Ravengard goes against the city in a bloody coup and frees several prisoners from the prison. Torlin Silvershield tries to blow up the fucking parliment.

>>773 I dont really read modules since I prefer the idea of making up my own adventures. You think I should still read murder at baldurs gate?
>>774 Absolutely, you don't even have to read the adventure, the description of the city is a reason enough to read it.
Ive never used a module so idk. Wait no I ran a modified ashes to ashes VTM campaign last year. It was not universally well recieved.

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.
