Traveller is a classic science fiction system first released in 1975. In its original release it was a general purpose SF system, but a setting was soon developed called The Third Imperium, based on classic space opera tropes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a slight noir tint.
Though it can support a wide range of game types, the classic campaign involves a group of retired veterans tooling around in a spaceship, taking whatever jobs they can find in a desperate bid to stay in business, a la Firefly or Cowboy Bebop.

What amount of optimization do you accept in games you participate in? How far do you allow your fellow players to go before things start breaking your suspension of disbelief?

You are rough-tough Skaven Warlord, ready to maim-kill! Today you and your clan hurry-scurry to new lands and crush-stomp the weak-things!

The object to your left is your clan's special type of warfare.

The object to your right is the new realm you must conquer.

The object behind you is the enemy you face!

Did you conquer for glory of Skaven?

I'm playing a kobold ranger Sunday, and I'm looking for tips for role playing a kobold. I've decided he will sound like Sean Connery but personally wise I'm drawing a blank.

>The Watch is a tabletop roleplaying game set in a "light fantasy" setting known as The Clanlands. It takes place during a dark and horrific war between the now-united ten clans who live there and an invading force, known only as The Shadow.

>The Shadow is a powerful and insidious enemy that is able to enter the minds of its opponents and slowly turn them to its side; twisting them into unnatural foes. For reasons unknown, The Shadow is able to more easily influence the minds of men, and has turned a great deal of the clan's soldiers against itself.

>With most of its fighting force crippled or worse, the clans have joined together and begun enlisting new warriors to defend their homes. Women and non-binary femme people who seem better able to resist The Shadow's hold have been recruited, trained, promoted, and formed into a new order: The Watch.

>In The Watch, you'll play a group of elite soldiers who are called upon time and time again to defend villages, attack The Shadow's forces at key locations, scout the enemy's lines, and much more. Each mission comes with its fair share of costs and compromises and you'll need to navigate them in order to be ready to heed the next call to action.

>It's in these in-between moments where the rules for The Watch focus themselves: What do you do to unwind from the pressure that threatens to pull you down? Who do you spend what little free time you have with, and why? How will you hold off The Shadow's influence so that you can see the end of this war? That's what you'll have to find out for yourself...

Well it's good that in a genre where you're able to literally play anything you feel like, there's finally a game specifically about women and "non binary femme-people" fighting evil men and trying to manage their feelings between missions.

I wonder what the character sheets look like.

We've all seen it. Some people play stereotypical elf rangers. Others play dwarf fighters. Some play some homebrewed special snowflake race/class. So on and so forth.

My question to you, /tg/, is: do you actually judge people for their choice in race/class? If you see a guy playing a human paladin, for example, do you think of him in a certain way? Do you see him differently from the guy who plays a half-orc barbarian?

A player decides the goal for their 5e character is to become a deity.

Is that just an unreasonable goal? What would they have to accomplish in order to achieve that?

Making a game. You roll for STR, WIS and CHA (no more stats). Roll under with a d20 to succeed.

You get 1 talent each level. Talents are divided in three groups. Depending which one you get, you also increment the relevant stat by +1

STR

Fighter: you deal +d6 damage with your chosen weapon (you normally do d4-d6-d8 depending on your weapon size)
Tough: you're big and mean, you get +1 armor
Acrobat: you're agile as fuck, you can attempt wuxia jumps and ninja stealth

WIS

Doctor: You can tend the ill, and fetch any kind of chemicals from your bag (roll to see how useful they are). On a miss, something works awkwardly or the patient gets worse
Tech guy: You can repair things; you get a mysterious device. At anytime, say what it does and roll to see how it works. On a miss there are requirements for it to work, or it's not as good as you said
Investigator: Once per day, you can claim that you know a secret about something (ask your GM and he'll tell the truth) or state retroactivelly that you had prepared for a situation (set a trap, asked for help, etc). Roll to see how well you did it.

CHA:

Bard: When you play, you get to say how does a specific person feels, how does your music help somebody or the underlying feeling of a crowd. On a miss, you still get one, but something goes wrong
Witch: When you perform a ritual, you can roll to ask favors to supernatural forces. On a success, they aid you on a task; or you enchant something to enhance it's power. On a miss, there are unwanted consequences or costs.

As you see, I'm lacking a CHA talent for all my system to be mechanically pretty. What should I add?
I'm thinking on Animal Companion, but if I find something better I'll fit it under the equipment section.
Also thought on making like a Mystic Monk ability (spider sense - shadow replication - Kamehameha) but this covers too many feats and they even could be covered by other talents.

Any other ideas?

Hi /tg/, /co/mrade here. I've been thinking about trying something new, and the game "Deadlands" immediately caught my eye. I love alt history, wacky cowboys, and ooky spooky magic. I went to the deadlands page to see an order for the gamebook but was met with oodles of add-ons, supplementaries, and other fluff. I'm willing to spend money, but I can't help but feel like I'm bein bamboozled here.

So, my question to you /tg/, have any of you ran a deadlands campaign? would you recommend it? I've played D&D 3.5 and 5.

Thanks!
