Follow up. Has anyone ever attempted to make a Gundam war game using Gunpla?

Fate works surprisingly well.

WEG's D6 System also works very well. Stat MSs like they're hybrid starships/walkers and you're gold.

Battle Century G is /tg/'s go-to system, but how well that will work for you depends on if you like the idea of the PCs having one suit from the start that grows with them through the course of the game (like, well, how most Gundam shows work), or if you want VOTOMs style where a machine is a machine and PCs go through multiple MSs through the course of the game. BCG is amazing for the former, garbage for the latter.

Someone is going to say Strike, ignore them, they're mentally challenged.

Otherwise HERE'S A LIST OF PRACTICALLY EVERY GAME EVER, some good, many awful:

To elaborate (because I run a Gundam game in WEG d6), I use Mini Six as the basis (but if you want more substance you can easily use D6 Space or Star Wars d6), then use d6 Space Ships to come up with a basis for the MS stats, eyeballing as needed (a lot easier than it sounds). Then give the "ship" a ground speed.

It's super simple to play, pretty much no matter what you're doing you're rolling a bunch of d6s and comparing them to either a static TN or an opposed roll. Mini Six fits the entire combat system on like two pages.

Make them actually a villain.

Give them motivations which make sense even if we can't sympathize with them.

As in ruthless, ambitious, proactive, and largely unapologetic about what they do.

You can make them sympathetic or understandable or likable. In fact you should. But you shouldn't use every opportunity you have to bog down the players/reader with some long angsty monologue about how the villain is really just a persecuted, misunderstood good guy.

I don't see how it's much different than a Paladin executing someone the moment Smite Evil pings.

Alignments are bullshit
D&D is gay
Play something else

>Smite Evil

I mean Detect Evil. fuck my life

Vietnamese gopher tunnels vs unlimited napalm works

So basically we're to try and apply the square-cube law to any and all technology that could be relevant for the capability of a society to wage war, which is to say basically all of it, and then run a comparison down the entire list for two societies of vastly different sizes.

Yeah, whatever the author wants to happen, happens. Especially since we apparently do have pure fucking magic available here, the capacity and effects of which must also be considered for both societies.

>>51665967
>How would a war between two races go if there were an extreme size difference between the two?

Very quickly.

Realize that in some way, you were a bad player.
Either that or the GM is running a game for a different circle of friends that he doesn't think you'd be comfortable with.

>>51665916
Might not be you. Could jsut be that the game filled up fast, or he didn't think it's your cup of tea.

Or you're a potentially that guy. Who knows?

Sounds like you're a loser.

Don't get mad. Get motivated.

I did a teaching game with an anon from South America and we agree that Steamforged might make a killing if thits were translated in spanish. Anyway, after some hiccups with the system (we weren't both using the same vassal module), we had some fun. Insane bad luck for him on dice rolls though.

>>51665545
To answer my own question. A well played Minx or Harry the hat is the bane of my existence.

Also, if anyone's up for a Vassal game I'm in there as the only normie name in the main room. I want as much practice with the fish for next weekend's tournament.

Why you people aren't playing On Vassal?
the module is made by Steamforged themselves. is pretty easy to follow and play around it.

Come on /tg/ help a brother out, if not I'm just using The Coming.

Aces & Eights is a good Old West (not Wild) system.

Dogs in the Vineyard is popular to use (i've never, though)

Self-interested normie with no strong principles and a vague concern for those close to him.

Bob the Chicken Farmer

Johannes the Town Guard who just wanted to avoid working in the fields.

Etc. Just be as normie as possible, only showing immediate concern for family and friends but otherwise being generally self-interested as long as it doesn't involve any kind of standing on principles or lack of principles, breaking the law [you might get caught] or whatever.

Be normal.

Tried it for a while. Was boring. Used the fact that my dryad got werebearism? Ursanthopy? to alignment change to neutral good.

>>51664753
I don't care.

just tell them that you are moving it to a different night...and make sure it doesn't fit their schedule.

i don't think you need to worry about offending the person. adults are responsible for their behavior and any ramifications that it might have. you aren't running leper colony, you are trying to enjoy your brief time in this awful world.

A bit tricky senpai, I usually pick a day that fits in around my work and they are a full time neet.

Here's the twist: The person isn't male, so there may be some boo hooing and signaling about what a bastard I am, even through everybody to some extent is put off by them. But it falls to me to plunge the knife in. I am sceptical about people ever changing.

>>51664009
Have you tried talking to them like a grownass person about how their attitude is offputting and because games are a group activity there has to be some consideration of the group?

>>51663221
My players would skewer me for prolonging the campaign even more.
That said, it would be a twist I would be willing to play along with.

Why are they hungry? I mean, they have all those orphans dont they?

There is balance to consider. It's not always about sense.

Song of Swords has adroitness, which is a derived attribute based off of Agility and Wit.

>>51663094
I should mention that there's also a second derived attribute conveniently named Mobility which determines how fast you run. Adroitness is effectively speed in combat.

Remember, the other guy can't be wrong if you keep replying until you get the last word.

Have fun flinging Shit.

No it's because with magic you can do absolutely anything whereas fighters have limited potential by design. A fighter who can surpass those limits qualifies as "magic" so they might as well be a wizard who fights well.

Obviously people who are magical in a magical world will excel much like fish are more likely to survive in the water than an ape.

>People still complain about this topic because they're sad, lonely individuals who can only derive any sense of purpose from shit posting

You literally cannot disprove this

You would think that this life sucks, too, if it was real.

I'm pretty okay with this. Most "escapism" I indulge is is centered around violence, which is fun enough in theory but would be highly unpleasant in practice.
