Depends if you and your group are playing the LRB version or the new one. A few rules have changed, some teams have changed a bit. DZ1 has a lot of league stuff and new teams. DZ2 has sponsorships, new players and a few new teams.

>>55337498
Have the rules changed enough that if we keep running the old rules that people who started with the new ones could easily adapt to joining our group?

They're not that different - just some tweaks. If your group is running LRB, you can continue and just tell new players where to download the rule set.

I'm going to say that your only problem at that point will be if players show up with 32mm based models to play on your 25mm grid pitch.

Tech level 6 or so, but it shouldn't come up much in a Miyazaki game. You'll mostly focus on the PCs I'd imagine.

Aim for 125/-25 or so, and make sure the players have an identity (not just a role, but a personality)

And don't worry to much about needing a million splats. Just focus on the fun!

Warbirds is a good rules-lite dieselpunk game with an emphasis on dogfights. There's light magic, so you might have to expand that; but it would take less work than homebrewing a system tha doesn't seem made for what you want.

Thanks guys!

And yea, I know dnd is just butts for this kind of setting so I didnt particularly like the idea of using it which is why i asked.

>>55334636
the first one sounds rather dickish
the second one makes sense though

>>55334636
Sounds good. Personally I just give a time limit to conjurings, so if a Wizard conjures water out of no where, it eventually returns to no where. This means drinking said water could be extremely dangerous. You drink 16oz of it, and two hours later those 16oz just disappear from reality.

>>55334714
wouldn't it be better if it disappeared slowly ?
For example after 12 hours on average 8oz have disappeared from your body, after 24 hourse 4oz more and so on, like uranium. The more you drink, the faster more disapears
That way you could drink it without much problems at the beginning, but after some time it would be dangerous since you would lose water extremly fast

Being convinced that your goal is to kill the player party is only acceptable if you're playing a very quick premade. Use the risk of death as stakes to get your players motivated, but let them die as a result of their mistakes and give them a chance to get characters back if they die via super shitty rolls.

Thanks. I think I've been using decent possibility of death/defeat as an excuse for not knowing the system well enough to balance encounters. Had a fight where they got absolutely raped since they were surprised in the middle of night, and haven't played in months so I've had too much time to mull over it.

If you think about it, this might not be so bad an analogue for a generic fantasy world. The Elemental Plane of Water takes the place of the ocean, the Paraelemental Plane of Air is the equivalent of the frozen north, the Elemental Plane of Earth is similar enough to the Underdark, the Positive Energy Plane under a more Feywild-like lens could make for lush jungles and verdant forests, the Quasielemental Planes of Ash and Dust would make for exotic deserts, and so on.

The only thing that is missing is a spot for a generic "plains and grasslands" area apart from the Outer Planes, and the Quasielemental Plane of Mineral already exists between Earth and Positive Energy.

Certainly, other settings, like Exalted, already do something similar.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

>and everyone started being total dicks to each other.

>>55331785
>Indeed, many people where dicks to each other. But mostly too the stupid squishy humans, elves, dwarves and halflings who are now slaves to the thralls of The Dark Lord

>These races attempted to counter the dickish behavior of these Thralls by forming drum circles where they encouraged open dialogue about how much more every thing sucks now.
>Each of these drum circles met in failure due to the sheer phallic night of the Thralls.

No.

without knowing what anything means the only glaring issues are the name color is too close to the background in for my taste and if this is intended to be more than a game for friends you'll need to rename your "tap" mechanic as mtg has a copyright on that name

Yeah I heard about this. I'll rename it, I just haven't thought of anything else for it yet.

Im mostly looking for feedback on design and layout. Do you think I should change the name or the background? How about something like this?

I'm pretty sure I saw this on Milkandcookies for the first time back in the day. It's a great animation and the following episodes are just as moving. Glad to see it's still getting attention.

I am surprised to see it on /tg/ though, as it's the last board I would expect to see it.

Me too. I think it's quite random that they decided to make a board game out of it, but the mechanics seem fun.

Should be in the Scan Database.

vol 1 is but not vol 2 unless it has a different name than the art of war vol 2

>Do you think that the average fa/tg/uy has a gaming group?
I would say maybe 50/50.
I personally tend to sit less on /tg/ when I have a party to GM to.

>>55330008
I have 6 groups.

>>55330008
I'd say most of them do, but there's definitely quite a few posters who don't.

If there's a Bard (or equivalent) in the party I like to make sure that in the places the party travels to there are various holidays and festivals which they can participate in with their performance skills. Since my players like high fantasy I also usually make these holidays have actually supernatural effects on the world, like the day of the dead equivalent actually resulting in your ancestors showing up to talk to you. It makes for some interesting 'break' sessions.

What you've got to realize is that the clever cook puts unlikely things together, like duck and orange, like pineapple and ham. It's called 'artistry'. You know, I am an artist the way I combine my business and my pleasure: Money's my business, eating's my pleasure and Georgie's my pleasure, too, though in a more private kind of way than stuffing the mouth and feeding the sewers, though the pleasures are related because the naughty bits and the dirty bits are so close together that it just goes to show how eating and sex are related. Georgie's naughty bits are nicely related, aren't they, Georgie?

structure fights like in castlevania
the infamous axe knight hallway required you to dodge axes and medusa heads to deliver a hit

the axe knights were damage sponges, but that wasnt why they were dangerous, it was because the player had to juggle numerous tasks at once

you cant really translate dodging and positioning into a theatre of the mind game, but make it so that you need to take advantage of gaps in the enemy defenses

like, axe knight engages last opponent who hit him, and his shield gives him total cover in the front, so one guy needs to whack him in the front, while another attacks his side

What level of power are you expecting to give your characters
Because outside of the limits of gameplay some of the Castlevania characters and bosses are pretty fucking powerful

it's an extremely simple system designed for investigation horror games.


It's good but I'm not sold on it. Trails of Cthulhu is a good game if you want the call of Cthulhu experience but don't want to use Call of Cthulhu for some reason.

Failing forwards is life saver don't let /tg/ tell you otherwise. If the detective hits at dead end had a man come to the room to the room with a gun. Philip Marlowe knew this and said so in just as many words. So should you.

Can't say I care for the point spend checks but. It works for Health and Sanity, but still feels wrong to me.
