I hate the method acting meme.

Not only is method acting weak, but in Suicide Squad the Joker and Harley Quinn are parodies of themselves. I know the Joker has multiple incarnations (considering this guy is probably older than most of our parents it's inevitable) but what he generally shared was being an unscrupulous killer with a dark sense of humor. Somehow this ended up being a justification for "LOL SO RANDUMB, BUT ALSO EVIL XD".

>>51751536
it's legit, but very few people can pull it off. Leto, not even undertstanding the character of joker fucked it beyond repair

Bump for interest

Tell me about your most unique magic system you ran in a campaign, /gurpsgen/

>>51703690
Not really unique but it was RPM. Only no energy gathering. All energy came from sacrifice. Self sacrifice didn't generate as much as unwilling sacrifice.

My players are pretty anti-murderhobo.

So let's say players want to run non-humanoids with freaky biology and anatomy (Jabba the Hutt, sentient octopi, silicon creatures, whatever)
Core can roughly handle that but are there any supplements that would be really useful for this sort of play?

Gamma World 7e.
Hell lots of fun but finding the cards is a bitch.

>>51790602
it seems a little more jokey than I had in mind, and I'm not a big fan of DnD mechanics, which that seems to be based off.

Thanks anyway.

>>51790543
Apocalypse World is pretty good, 2nd edition even added detailed vehicle combat rules so it easier to run Mad Max style games.

I didn't think I'd be able to hate any UA material more than the stupid fucking feats

Lore Wizard proved me wrong

In your honest opinion, what's the BEST build for an archer? It's just a thought experiment, so feel free to do wild shit like UA multiclassing.

>>51786979
>What are your thoughts on the new UA?

Lore wizards have definitely made me rethink allowing UA.

What are some good waifus or companions in general from fire emblem jumps?

Self Replenishment at EX wouldn't be toooo much bigger since even at A+ it's only a small amount per turn. Maybe something around...20-40 units of prana every 10-20 seconds or so? That's about the max storage of the average human Magus so it seems pretty right for it.

Self Modification, think of it as basically shapeshifting, even into pretty sizeable monsters, but it takes time to do. Like super plastic surgery. You can graft other peoples bodies into your own to gain their abilities and knowledge, though you'd only be able to take in so many, and probably do all sorts of freaky bioengineering shit with your body with just a few minutes work.

God Slayer just increases the damage you do to Divine beings. Counter Hero just applies an automatic magical debuff to the stats of any heroic when they try to fight you.

Val, I was browsing another thread about Fate and saw >>51784785. Would the NPs be valid at those ranks?

Really hoping the cross-thread link goes through.

>>51785616
Not on scale, a lot of work, and generally even more expensive than regular 40k.
If you ave tons of lego lying around, sure, go for it.

Why? Poorfags complain about the price enough as it is and haters complain about the model quality already too.

>>51785536
Personally, most of my casters are going to have a staff.
It might not even be magic because the rules for those suck ass unless you have lots of downtime, but I'm going to have one.

Elves. They kind of got left in the dust, huh?

In a racial paradigm of kitsune, catfolk, blinklings, skinwalkers, aasimar, tieflings, ethumions, plain old humans, and bakeneko versions of all of the above, those knife-ears sure look vanilla.

How can we make elves great again in this rainbow of exotic races?

It was a new DM, and we ran into a plothole fifteen minutes in. He got flustered, and that was game. I felt kinda bad for him, but was more annoyed because I had driven a long way to get there.

>Glint-Sleeve Siphoner
It is already trending upwards but tons of card
sellers (making podcasts/yt videos) are
speculating on this card and I believe it still
has the potential to grow another 2 or 3 dollars
if not more.

mtgstocks.com allows you to follow card
trends and has been invaluable in my trading.

>I know the majority of you know all of this information but I would love to have a thread
in /tg/ dedicated to the financial aspect of
magic regularly.

>Here are some of my recent "success stories"

I bought 2 Saheeli Rai's for 5$ each CDN
because it was a 3 mana PW and the reward
outweighed the risk. The week AER started
seeing spoilers I started doing a ton of
research on the new set and I saw people
talking about the copy cat combo. The same
day Felidar Guardian was released I picked up
another 2 Saheeli for 10$ ea CDN. I ended up
trading my 2 Saheeli for 2 Chandra, Torch of
Defiance (which I think has potential to go up
based on initial spec as well as the advice of
my friends who are long term players) . I also
managed to pick up 2 Mox Opals for 2 Saheeli
Rai's plus a few standard staples to make up
the difference. I made this trade during the
initial Cheeri0's hype. With demand the card
has risen 40% from my initial trade value.
Currently debating on getting rid of them.

I also picked up Paradox Engine for 5.99
(CDN) a piece because I heard it was a great
casual card and many speculators state that
casual/EDH cards can make you some
serious money. They are now sitting at 11.99
(CDN) a piece.

Research has payed off and as long as you
are willing to do a little bit it can go a long
ways.

These are just a few examples of my success,
but like I said I am building up a decent
collection very quickly and I think many
players underestimate the collection building
potential.

Please feel free to shit on what I say, but I
think threads like this have a place on /tg/ to
benefit all of us.

Why did you format your post so strangely? Did you copy this from somewhere?

>>51783637
Naw, I've always been a lurker, not a poster. What do you think about what I have said though?

>>51782722
>What kind of questions do you ask yourself
What's the basic premise for the campaign.
Simple answer for that is enough for character creation session and after that I have much more tools to move onwards with.

I usually like to think how I can allow every PC to use their various strengths in the session, give them options that make everyone turn and look at that one guy who can do the job. It's also good to mix up what kinds of things you're doing. My first campaign I GM'd for fell into a cycle of "go here, kill cultists, find some stuff out, follow straight-forward leads, kill more cultists, etc.". It's a good idea to mix up different types of sessions (investigative, combat, social, sneaky, etc.), along with how they tie into the overall plot. Your players will probably want breaks from the main plot, they'll want to explore the world and interact with the characters in it, so build those situations into your plans.

What kind of story do I want to tell?

Will my players enjoy being in that setting and interacting with it?

You can't kill Gods til they have Stats.

Strategy 1 is to find what makes them Gods and stop that. Ancient Artifact? Break it. They're worshipped? Cull the worshipers/Make up a new God and convince them to worship that. They eat fruit of the gods? Burn the tree.

Strategy 2 is to just become Gods yourselves. If it's something that was a one-time boost and they're just Gods now, find out what it was and then do it yourself. Some kind of ritual or test they took? Go do it yourself, if nobody has stats its either a stalemate or they spontaneously grow Stats for the purpose of Combat


Tell me more about the campaign you're in. I'm worried your GM might be one of my old players and these legendary heroes are my players old characters

Because why not? It helps protect their squishy bits and it doesn't impede their ability to play an instrument.

Of course, if that isn't their thing, they can always invest in evasion instead. With a bard, you aren't pigeonholed into any role if you're creative enough.
