NEVER TRUST AN ELF!

If you shitpost and ban-dodge enough, the mods will just get sick of it and give you what you want.

Talking about banning Virt, you salty, salty antiquestfag.

No matter what year/era it is, German Tanks and Japanese Ships are best.

>>52210231
Just look up history of Mali.

there would often be troubles. catttle would eat and stomp on crops, and the farmers would destroy cattle grazing land for more farmland. just look up homesteader and rancher rivalries in the old west

>>52210231
It reminds me of the Hutus and Tutsi (your pic helps too). It really depends of the crops, if they are more valuable than cattle or not.

How do you handle it bros? It's been years since a dragon kidnapped a princess.

Much like the inside of a wizard. A total mess with some strange unnameable organs.

I raise you the pillars of creation.

There was a thread yesterday with a few systems.

Chromestrike is made for Armored Core style part swapping, but is unfinished. Mekton can run anything, but it's probably the most complicated of the bunch. Battle Century G is pretty good for mechs in general, but IIRC it doesn't support part swapping as well by defaault. There's also Jovian Chronicles that I remember reading but for the life of me can't remember how it was.

I personally ran an AC inspired game in Strike!, but only for one session, I don't know how well it'd work for an extended campaign. Plus it's probably too light for most, and needs some tinkering anyway.

>>52209508
which thread? ill search the archives.

mekton: tried it once, count me out.
strike: I've heard of that before, mostly people saying "stop shilling strike"
haven't heard of the others. thank you

>which thread? ill search the archives.

>>52170725

Battle Century G has a legal free version linked in that thread.

>mostly people saying "stop shilling strike"

My fault, I guess.

Anyway, if interested despite the memes, I can explain how/why I ran it in that.

Mirror Alice [300] - Right back at ya! When activated, this Gear takes the form of a glowing, transparent mirror in front of the user or an ally. An attack that strikes this mirror is immediately reflected back onto the attacker, with twice the destructive power. Why is this being offered so cheaply? Well, it has a cool-down period that prevents it from being summoned twice in a row, which means it is best reserved for baiting a finishing move or protecting a weaker ally. Eventually, the user can learn to summon multiple mirrors, lessening this weakness slightly.

Sword Birth [300] - A fan of swords, are we? Well, if blades are your bones, this Sacred Gear has you covered. This Sacred Gear takes the appearance of any sword you can think of, but its true power is being able to create any number of Demon Swords from any surface a certain distance from the user. Should you unlock this Gear’s Balance Breaker, you may even unique Demon Swords with specific abilities made to counter a particular race or type of enemy, or utilize different elements together.

Blade Blacksmith [400] - This Sacred Gear is something of an ‘older brother’ to Sword Birth, having an identical effect save for the fact the weapons summoned are Holy Swords, thus making it terrifyingly effective against Devils or other unholy creatures like the Fallen. It’s also notable in that it can potentially develop multiple Balance Breakers, such as summoning knights to wield said Holy Swords or make a gigantic dragon made entirely of said weapons. Who knows? Perhaps that potential can be unlocked in your hands, as well…

Prices might change once the descriptions are done, but I wanted to get the most-requested one and two of my favorites out of the way first.

>>52206282
My error. >>52204243 was a build for Chroma Squad.

>>52208632
>Mirror Alice

Uh, this thing can work on the Longinus weapons, which are supposed to be able to shoot pure destruction or something? It seems a bit odd to offer something that can nosell the most powerful Gears in the series at 300 CP, you should probably lessen the reflection ability. Maybe scale it with your personal magic reserves or something.

>Sacred Gear

When you say appearance, do you mean functionality as well? You should probably quantify what a Demon Sword is capable of to avoid confusion that this is basically unlimited Excaliburs

And I don't know enough about balance breakers so the last one looks okay I guess?

>>52208399
Maybe? The system would have to be exceptionally light, with everything boiling down to binary states, probably "trained in task" and "untrained".

Yes. It works perfectly fine for more narrative games.

>>52208399
That's pretty much World of Darkness

>>52208290
Quick, I need info on how to optimize.

Sounds like a fun guy to have in the party. Make sure he's an Elf for immunity to magical Sleep.

A kind Anon in an earlier thread wrote up this guide to the differences between MgT1e and 2e.

Folks have found it helpful.

How many terms in the Mongoose Traveller system should I set as thr average for my players?

Bytopia.

Maybe a greater divide between the two layers?

>That one where everyone just fights all the time and gets rezzed every morning to fight again.

You mean the one where the entire dimension is just floating rock islands that are on fire on the underside, except for the layer where all the islands are upside down and the fire is on the top side and everyone just fights all the time and gets rezzed every morning to fight again

Because that's the second-most metal dimension after Acheron

Just for fun, some info about the game.

Using a tweaked FATE, with additional mechanics geared towards detective work and legendary skills.

Since this is a setting I've been working on for some time, and I want potentially inexperienced players to have a nice introduction to TTRPGs, I've got a bunch of props and handouts all prepared, fake newspaper clippings, gemstones for soulstones, etc.

>>52208001

Just start the first session with them all in detention a la Breakfast Club and move forward from there. Maybe a weird Silent Hill style mist creeps in while the teacher is out.

>>52208001
Take a look at Breakfast Cult.
