>Get to a point where I prefer being GM because I don't wanna embarrass myself in front of my friends with Cringy RPing

>inb4 "If you're a cringy bad player, How come you're good at GMing if you need to RP for the npcs?"

I get much more control with the NPCs and if I fuck up really bad with one I can just pretend he never existed, or create a situation where they can shine and look better for the whole group

Alrighty, fa/tg/uys, it's that time again. Come here to confess your sins, and be absolved. Also, if you were in the previous thread, share any progress you've made on bettering yourself.
I'll start with a new sin.

> Same OP as last thread, so still fairly newfag (3 years, now)
> For some reason all of my GMs love me
> I'll be allowed special requisitions that others wouldn't be able to have, tailored character arcs, the lot
> Example being I started playing a MtA campaign, and my GM gave my character a grimoire that he had previously
> shit has 150 spells in it
> I asked about the limit of what I could do and he said "just make some spells up, you're creative"
> allows up to 10 5th dot spells, but other than that I can go haywire
> My sin is that I fully acknowledge, and actively take advantage of this

How do I break up an IC relationship between two PCs?

So far it's just been implied sleeping together, but I need to kill their romance before it gets serious ingame.

Before the rampant shitposting one anon had an interesting point about collections. What's your ideal size? How much is too much? At what point if a game played often enough that it's worth the not just the money spent, but the space it takes up in your home?

Since Leskovar is taking a break until late april, Rigel and Zyklon_Ben are left to moderate this new /tg/craft. Here are the new rules:

1. Use common sense you cunts.
2. You're allowed to declare war on anyone. This declaration must be made atleast an hour before the declarator begins any conflict. You can do with what you take as you wish. No, I won't protect you if the rest of the server murders you for it.
3. Griefing terrain and fucking up the map for no good reason is not tolerable, either.
4. Everything else is on a case by case basis depending on how much of a obnoxious shit you are.

If you think a player should be banned, make an official appeal on the tgcraft board. In-game complaints against players will be ignored.

Make sure to read /info once ingame!

Let's play "spot a GMGFPC"

> One-on-one PR way more often than with anyone else
> GMPC looking just like a female character from GM's favorite anime.

Does anyone know the name of this aesthetic/setting/vibe? It's essentially pseudoscience with some minor occultism from the early mid to late 1800's. Tim Burton's claymation movies are reminiscent of it, like The Corpse Bride and Nightmare Before Christmas. Even the movie Igor would fall into this category. It's similar to gothic and dieselpunk but comes after gothic and before dieselpunk, chronologically.

Dumping pics that fit the vibe.

Allright /tg/, I'm a first time GM who's never even played a paper and pen game before and i want to run a MAGOS DEL TIEMPOS game. I've had a single friend over to try the system and I like it, but I just have a few question.

-Should I write out what happens in the characters lives before we start, or just make it up as I go along?

-Who decides how the players look?

-How the fuck do I plan a campaign?

-Where can I find the YES/NOPE cards?

-How do I decide if a players magik is feasible?

Given a lawful character whose alignment is in question between neutral or good.

That character visits a tavern's bathroom, whereupon they relieve themselves and wash their hands in a basin provided.

Also provided is a pile of papers to dry one's hands with.

The character crumbles the paper after use, attempts to shoot it into a waste basket, rolls a natural 1, and misses.

As they are a non-evil lawful character, they understand it is right and proper to make sure the paper towel is in the waste basket. Upon bending over to retrieve it, the character notices two other paper balls which have not made it into the waste basket.

The character only retrieves their waste. Is there any grounds to argue they are a good character rather than neutral?

Welcome to living room 40k!
Where I run around taking awful blurry shots of a 40k game, almost as bad as GW's official stream!

/tg/, that means you palying guard
>>51499976
>>51499645

and I am the Orks
>>51499609

The rules are like so.
If you squint you may see 6 small disks, each of these are worth 2 points. Line breaker, firstblood and slay the warlord are all 1 point.

The Orks set up first and are going first without a lucky seize. Warlord traites are master of the vanguard and divide to conquer.

The weird boy has da jump and da krunch

The enemy warlord is pask who has old grudges.

Night fighting is in play.

Quick, the Orks are assault the book gate of carpet town. Deploy your guard no further than the dice line to try and stop them.

How do you design a good modern fantasy game?

I really like the whole 'magic is real but hidden from normies' stuff a lot of things do, but I feel as though some of these could be combined.

I also really like a few settings like The Secret World's setting and Unknown Armies, but it depends on what kind of campaign you're going for.

So I've been wondering.....
LISA: The Painful (And joyful, though we'll leave the first out for now) has a nice premise with lots of interesting abilities. There are even technically classes, and various defining feauters. Plus the story rocks.
Now, do you think we could transform that into a tabletop RPG?
Or should I clear out and pack up.
(And yes, I'm tripfaggin. I've decided to make all me replies known as to who they come from-and see how long it takes before someone tracks me down)
