This is Lord-Admiral Caffran Sternbridge to any imperial forces in the sector. My ship is falling out of the orbit of the remote world of Kostov IV and I am in need of immediate assistance. I am pursued by the enemies of man and it will not be long before they catch up with me. I carry materiel that must not fall into their hands.
>Sternbridge’s voice is momentarily drowned out by raucous laughter, followed by distant screaming
>his next sentence is hurried
I repeat: it is imperative that I be relieved as soon as possible. Sternbridge out.

Gave arm blades like those to a villain character planned for a 90's superhero setting.

He's an overweight serial killer who slashed people up with knives while skating past on roller blade, then he got caught and put on Death Row but a shadowy organisation faked his death and took him into their employ.

Now hopped up on super steroids and equipped with high-tech roller blades & deadly blades on his arms he serves as one of their deadly assassins/guinea pigs.

He is the KILLER BLADER!

This weapon design is horrible, why would anyone use this stupid arm bayonette?

Laser mines. Toss a few of the little dice sized and shaped gubbins in the floor and they spark out short range laser trip-wires opposite whatever surface they landed on. Wall, ceiling, someone's leg... They don't give a shit. They just activate, land and then start shooting a laser to try and burn someone's arm off until you pinch the base to deactivate it.
If you have a lot of time, covering a ball in them before throwing the disco ball of death into a crowd can be useful. A grenade would work better, but it doesn't have the same appeal as a DEATH SPHERE. Good luck reclaiming it afterwards though.

>>51708570
It's like the flagship stupid shit for a mall ninja. One who buys stuff that appears tacticool but is yes, just a stupid arm bayonet after a moment's thought.

Although now I'm looking at the image and they sort of look like crutches. And now I'm imagining a Metal Gear character with bayonet battle crutches and no legs skuttling around.

>>51704009
I honestly don't know any game with good social mechanics, or at least not ones I'd use that also have depth in combat. You'll probably have to frankenstein it together.

My gut reaction would be Savage Worlds. Apocalypse World (one of the fantasy spinoffs) would fit, but the combat isn't really in depth in it. Strike! has bretty gud tactical combat, but the social mechanics are anemic.

>>51704143
I've taken a look at savage world, it doesn't really appeal to me as a system, I would prefer something more simulationst in its structure.

>>51704412
I feel like SW has plenty of simulationist leanings (despite the pulpy feel its going for), aside from maybe bennies, so anything more than that and you are basically looking for simulationist games.

Maybe give Mutants and Masterminds 3 a look? I know it's supposedly a superhero system, but can be used as a lighter GURPS alternative.

>>51703749
Do you mean "the best generic system" or "the best system in general"?

>>51703773
I just mean best system as an introduction to the medium. They're fine to play literally any setting or scenario. Probably a one shot really because they just need something to help them get the hang of it.

>>51703787
Savage Worlds? Apocalypse World?
gurps? DnD (any except 3.pf)?
If your friends like star wars, one of those?

>>51702588
Slingshots are S 2.
Cost of armor is halved.
Large Creatures roll for Injuries as Heroes.

Enlighten me.

I actually don't get the punch line in OP's pic.

/v/ meme from 2007

My knee jerk reaction is don't play DnD, but this seems a fairly simple problem of just altering skill DCs to appropriate levels; and informing players of what they're capable of.

>>51701127

As long as the things they can do are appropriate for their level it makes sense that at a level where a wizard can cast invisibility a rogue can crit their stealth and basically become invisible themselves at the same level.

How do you handle characters who max stats at chargen?

at level thirty you are literally more powerful than a fucking god. Roll a level five character in Exalted and just play that.

Magical Realm +5

Water Witch can add Cha modifier to AC when wet.
In thematically appropriate clothing she only needs to be a little moist for the effect to work.

In its original form, where the girls are mostly like young witches that get into minor situations due to their magic, it's hard to use for a game, like most slice-of-life style series.

But, post Sailor-Moon magical girls, where the genre was combined with sentai conventions, it works fairly well, and the episodic formula is almost ideal for setting up and running game sessions.

What did you say in the sorcerer survey? I gave them an earful about Wild Magic not being competitive.

>>51711030
The mechanics are a disaster, but is there anything wrong with the concept of a fundamentals Wizard? In terms of flavor it reminds me of the White Lotus Academy.

Is Discworld low fantasy or high fantasy? Because it seems to fluctuate between books.

>>51705957
The setting overall is high fantasy but the books usually tend to focus on low-fantasy pockets like Ankh-Morpork

I'm just going to throw this in here for fun. Heres my 2k nurgle daemons list. The prince stays with the drones to activate their ability and to be extra killy. The list also has the tallyband ability where plaguebearer units regenerate lost models (I REAALLY hope thats not considered summoning)

> what are you looking forward to from the KS?
Actually getting the game to play with some friends, already got a group mostly together.

>What are you planning to get if the pledge manager doesn't allow us to add funds?
Pretty much everything in the abyssal woods. Super looking forward to that.

My favorite moment so far is when we desperately tried to get our people to mate, but instead four villages suicided and we ate their corpses and turned their bones into more weapons. Theres only five of us left now, at least we're armed to the teath

>>51694003
>Armed to the teeth
>bone weapons

I see what you did there.

There's an easy solution. Just use the power of love to make your SO good.
