Spaniard? also what terrain are you after and how much are you willing to spend?

>>53075256
>Spaniard
Dont know what that is.
We play 40k and I in particular have an interest of getting the guys into Shadow War, so some Imperial and Industial (specially Industrial) Setpieces would be cool.
In terms of money, I don't have much. I basically was looking for a way of making most out of cheap craftmaterials and/or papershit I already have available

>>53075338
You type like a Spaniard its weird. However what you need is Trash terrain by Commissar Gamza.

A more modern version is Mensch ärgere dich nicht.
You throw dice to see how many moves you have, and have to race a number of guys from start to finish, avoiding the enemy who is doing the same.

Sonic Golems with trombones for arms, basson stilts for legs, a sousaphon for a head and a kettledrum for a torso.

Magic Skeletons that use their rib cages as xylophones

Picture the sandstorm scene in mad max fury road. Now imagine if instead of simply running through it they were fighting it

>>53124292
yeah, pretty much.
Hm, but maybe they can use various types of debris as platforms inside the storm.

how do you kill a storm? stab it in the dick?

First for Dark Angels are traitors

Eldar needs more stories so we can drop this traitor snorefest.

But not the "love your enemies" part?

Only be wrathful when warranted. Constant SMITE AND PURGE, PURGE AND SMITE gets old real fast, but someone who flips on a dime from benevolent and compassionate to full of murderous zeal can be terrifying because you just don't know what to expect. Imagine having a conversation with a known Deus Vult murderhobo, everything's going fine, you're charming him with your guile and moxie, but every second of the conversation you're sweating bullets hoping he doesn't know about the wild ritualistic pagan orgy going on in your backroom, and you can't tell if he's onto you because of the helm, and oh God he's drawing a sw- okay no he was going for his coin pouch and-

Boom, decapitated before he could breathe a sigh of relief. Sic semper infidelus

Target: Johann Quader (Professional Scam Artist)

Location: New Orleans, Louisana, specifically the famous Lamothe House Hotel

Plot: Mr. Quader has been scamming people quite profitably for years. Your client was recently the victim of one of Mr. Quader's scams and has lost not only a sizable sum of money but also an old 2x2x2 wooden box. The client wishes to not only have Mr. Quader put out of business for good but also wants the box retrieved.

Twist: Mardi Gras is in full swing and attempting to get to Mr. Quader will prove challenging as he loves to party and will likely be on an erratic schedule filled with pub hopping and party crashing.

Hope this helps OP. I decided to leave the mystery box vaguely detailed so you could use it for a plot-hook. Have fun!

That comic is pretty damn excellent.

A futuristic sci fi world inhabited by vampires where blood drinking is outlawed and is considered uncouth and savage, but is still sold on the black market.

My players are huge star wars nerds so yes. I've run an alternate timeline game where Anakin dies on Mustafaar and the party was a bunch of bounty hunters and Dark Jedi who were trying to impress the emperor and become his new apprentice.

I can say that they'd love to play as clone troopers blasting Jedi or even battle droids.

As long as the story is interesting and the gameplay is fun you can get players to do any setting.

Alright, I struggle with this detail a lot--

I want to represent weapons with higher percussive qualities/momentum. This has been done in many systems and I'm not introducing anything very different narratively but curious to see how people seek to deal with these weapons themselves, or if they have any insight.
The concept I have right now is that these would be very useful tools for disorienting or crippling foes.
Additionally, I anticipate their impact would be deep; attacked shields and armor won't break but the human under them will still feel the concussion and even sustain injury.
However, I've researched that bypassing shields was better done through pulling the shield away from its user with certain weapons (hooked polearms come to mind), instead of bashing it with something heavy and hoping the user's guard drops.

I think this generally covers the possible utilities of this weapon trait but if there's any other qualities worth bringing up (or correcting me on), I'd appreciate the input.

>>53098164
They're too heavy to practically carry around.

>>53098164
I always go the disorienting way, like a penalty to attack and defense. I also tend to do it as a critical hit, to represent things like bashing away until their defense breaks, or a lucky hit that knocks the wind out of them.

>>53094693
dont

>>53094693
I'm sorry man but there just isn't enough there for a good mechanical difference. The biggest is "Chicks can't get as big as Dudes" which means that they're just slightly worse in the most common of rpg encounters The Fight. This adds nothing to the game. You'd be better off giving "genetic" bonuses as races. Maybe a strength focused one, a intellect focused one, and a social focused one. Just say that it's a combination of all the little things that make up a human before sentience even comes into focus with a leaning towards nature rather than nurture.

>>53094693
This is not going to end well.

I'm getting popcorn.

>What's the best advice you'd give someone who wants to get into playing GURPS?
Find a good GM to teach you. Failing that, GURPS Lite + How to Be a GURPS GM + a game you really want to run, and asking a lot of questions in the thread (or other GURPS forums). Then you can dive into Basic Set to find rules you'd like to use and add on to them.

For example, in the previous thread for an RE2 game, I suggested GURPS Lite and a select few rules from Basic Set that are appropriate to the game (Skull hit location, grappling, etc). I think that's the best way to get started in GURPS; use Lite and then pick out rules from Basic Set until you have what you need.

>>53030558
>What's the best advice you'd give someone who wants to get into playing GURPS?

Read the Basic Set thoroughly and make a couple characters and run a few scenarios by yourself or with a friend. I read 3e's basic set when I was 15 a few years back and I understood the rules. Movie to 4e was a breeze If a 15 year old kid can do it, then a grown adult can too.

If I were GMing a game, and I wanted to bring a character up to speed fast I would just teach the player personally and use GURPS Lite.

I've been wanting to do my own setting, largely based off of CATastrophe and have been struggling to find a good system for doing it in which has lead me to GURPS, but after reading about the system I've wanted to do something a lot simpler as an introduction to the system for both me and the rest of my group.

So for now I've been looking at possibly doing something like a Payday style career criminal thing.

Find some new friends who do or find people who tolerate you enough to play games with you.

They aren't interested in fantasy board games, I'm not going to force them to play it
How am i supposed to find people who do play this crap?

>>53124220
Are you completely against the idea of playing online? If not head over to the gamefinder thread or go to roll20.net and see if that interests you. Otherwise, see if you can find a local gaming shop that is advertising for a D&D group.
