The one with the adults was okay. The kiddie ones were super bad.

The setting feels very silly and the classes seem quite arbitary.

The anime about the adoptive father of (blank main character) was neat.

The setting shows promise, but of late the pandering got real and kind of shit.

I know way too much about this setting in general, and I think it has promise. Tried putting together a homebrew with a friend, but we got overambiscious.

Asymmetrical PvP and pairs form an interesting game, if you can find 4-14 players and keep everyone engaged in a game where most of the players could just be... out of the game after a point.

In order to do it, you need to decide on some things first.
>do Servant players pick their Servants?
>are Servants preconstructed or do players build them?
>what bullshit levels are we looking at?
Last one is difficult. I tend to think that anything outside the original and Zero is bumb as shit, even when it can be fun. Endless genderswaps, character design reuses, historical figures as loli, turning poets into reality-bending mages, and uninspired uses of cool figures. But honestly, gauge your group. Maybe your friends want nothing more than Caesar to be a little girl in thigh highs and a laser sword.

Classes are fine as long as your players know it won't be fair coming in. Assassin should be difficult and underpowered compared to the melee classes. Caster will have problems given at least three Servants will have significant resistances to them. And Berserker is perfect for that friend who wants to participate, but only really knows how to murderhobo.

And if PvP isn't your thing, change it. Holy Grail war isn't a free-for-all, but a team-based trial. Holy Grail War is actually a treasure hunt. Holy Grail War gives two or three masters multiple servants, making it a player versus NPC situation. Possibilities are endless.

It is 220 years since the Battle of Cape St Vincent, one of the opening battles of the Anglo-Spanish War (1796–1808, part of the larger French Revolutionary Wars), where a British fleet under Admiral Sir John Jervis defeated a larger Spanish fleet under Admiral Don José de Córdoba y Ramos near Cape St. Vincent, Portugal.

In late 1796, the military situation ashore in Italy led to the Royal Navy being compelled to abandon the Mediterranean. The commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Fleet, Admiral Jervis instructed Commodore Nelson to oversee the final aspects of the evacuation. With the British withdrawing, Admiral Córdoba elected to move his fleet of 27 ships of the line from Cartagena through the Straits of Gibraltar to Cadiz in preparation for joining with the French at Brest.

As Córdoba's ships got underway, Jervis was departing the Tagus with 10 ships of the line to take up a position off Cape St. Vincent. Having left Cartagena on February 1, 1797, Córdoba encountered a strong easterly wind, known as a Levanter, as his ships cleared the straits.

As a result, his fleet was blown out into the Atlantic and forced to work their way back towards Cadiz. Six days later, Jervis was reinforced by five ships of the line from the Channel Fleet. His work in the Mediterranean completed, Nelson sailed aboard the frigate HMS Minerve to rejoin Jervis. On the night of February 11, Minerve encountered the Spanish fleet and successfully passed through it without being detected.

Reaching Jervis, Nelson came aboard the flagship, HMS Victory (102 guns) and reported Córdoba's position. While Nelson returned to HMS Captain (74), Jervis made preparations to intercept the Spanish. Through the fog on the night of February 13/14, the British began to hear the signal guns of the Spanish ships. Turning towards the noise, Jervis ordered his ships to prepare for action around dawn and stated, "A victory to England is very essential at this moment."

Anyone know anywhere I can download SSD books for SFB? I've got a game with my Tholians coming up next week, and I really can't find the box with all my R modules in.

I posted a while back but I'll post again. I've been vaguely aware of WoD for about 5 years but never really looked into it. Heard bad things about Beast then read a cringe thread about Null Spyder and her MRA legions.
>someone in thread links to the FATAL and Friends archive
>read oWoD revivews
>binge on the wiki
>get (legal) free rules for oWoD games

And that's how I started shitposting in this general.

Played VtM:Bloodlines after I got it for like 7 bucks on steam. Played a campaign at my local game store with some buddies. Realized I absolutely hated the meta-plot. Tried nWoD/ChroniclesofFagness. Fell in love. Never looked back.

>>51779921
play old games/editions/systems, run "for shits and giggles" game, meet new people and play with them.

>>51774089
I have a question. I'm kind of new to the system and the shaken status kind of confuses me. It says that being Shaken from mental afflictions is tracked differently from physical in the case of damage. So can someone be double shaken and have to spend two actions snapping out of it? or am I interpreting this wrong?

>>51774152
You're interpreting it wrong. Normally, if someone is Shaken then suffers another Shaken result, they suffer a wound and remain Shaken. Mental effects are only different in that they can't cause a wound.

So, basically think of it like this:
*Dude is Shaken from an Intimidation action, then gets punched in the face for a Shaken result. He is wounded and still Shaken.
*Dude is punched in the face for a Shaken result, then someone Intimidates him while his bell is rung. He is just still Shaken, but not wounded.

Does that help at all?

>>51774152
there is still only one shaken condition. a shaken character who is shaken again receives a wound, but only if the source of the newest shaken condition results from a damage source.

shaken + shaken via taunt = still just shaken
shaken + shaken via bullet = wound

to further complicate matters, in the second instance, there are two options:

spend a benny to unshake immediately before the second shaken condition takes effect, which guarantees you'll only be shaken (and not wounded)

or

spend a benny to attempt to soak the wound with a vigor roll.

At one point I got irritated with a player in 3.5e demanding some method of getting new stats.

I gave him a collar that would double his current stats, but he'd have to follow the commands of the person on the other end of it, and couldn't act otherwise.

He shut up.
