Posting my short and unfinished setting's short and unfinished megacorp writeup to get the ball rolling.

I started working on a cyberpunk system a few years ago. The people I playtested it with thought it was cool.

Then I got a new job and no longer have any time to work on games.

How many guns should be available?

Did anyone use the requirements for gun licences in the original book?

It's okay. I personally wouldn't recommend it, but it might suit your tastes.

The thing about roleplaying games is that the only real way to understand them is to play them and see how you personally feel about them, and whether or not they suit your needs or tastes.

Sure, there's a certain cutoff where the quality is so bad that the game shouldn't be recommended to anyone, but any of the flagship D&D products is pretty safe from that cutoff, and how good it is really ends up being a matter of personal experience and opinion.

Certainly a polarizing edition of the DnD, but as a Tactical Skirmish game, I don't think any edition has done a better job of making each class feel unique.

I personally miss the clear roles or Tank, Striker, Leader or Control, but I do completely understand those folks who don't like it, or think its' "Not DnD".

Its quite a departure from the 3.x formula.

My roomate ran a pirate campaign for 5e that accidently turned into a one piece campaign

>>54881421
Storytime? Were you in it?

>>54881332
Yes, by accident. My group are a bunch of "pirates" who were hired to take some rich asshole to not!eldorado, and map some of the weird islands there on the way. We only realized how much it looks like One Piece when we were already in the thick of things.

A little girl had a dolly. The girl died. The dolly was so sad that it developed the desire to have wishes granted with only a thought, knowing that without that, the little girl would never live again. A dick ass fairy saw these desires and granted the dolly the ability to grant others wishes.

Someone wished it into existance, which caused it to retroactively exist.

Is every man in Oglaf an philistine?

The population is xenophile, the government is war mongering. They wish to conquer everything and take all of their stuff because they just love it all so much. It will all be theirs. All of it.

There are no brakes on the genetic sampling train, and no breaks during it.

Starscream, unless we're in the sort of game that calls for a Starscream.

>edgy loner that refuses to play by anyone's rules

Sounds like your group needed a Cyclops. A non nonsense serious leader, who may be a stick in the mud but got the skills to make everyone fall in line. You get one of those then the wolverine dynamic will be legendary.

>>54877463
The problem is when someone makes a character that's such a die hard loner that the game must revolve around them just due to the effort put into getting them to go with the group. It's a backhanded way of trying to be the main character.

>>54877258
Poison it. Unless you're saint george the go to way to kill any huge fantasy beast is poison.

Can a chimp kill an elephant?

Depends on the situation.

I would think poison would be a good choice. Alternatively, Slice an Achilles, bring him down, cripple him carefully, then dispatch him.

Alternatively, enlist the aid of a ballista.

That's referring to soaking the damage, it is confusing because it uses small numbers (presumably a tank would need to be dealt more than 4 damage to pass through it's armour), but the rule is pretty clear in the vehicle section that it needs to be over the armour pre-soak not post soak. Otherwise, vehicles would either take zero damage or (at least) the damage equal to their armour, would make them either be 100% fine or just kind of explode randomly.
The way it works is:
>Is modified (Base + Ammo + Net hits) DV less than Armour? If so, ignore the damage.
>If it's higher, roll for soak
>Optionally, to speed things up, have the vehicle buy hits instead

Well i don't have any hopes regarding that. Basically the matrix rules are so messed up, even we germans can't fix it without tearing everything down.

Well, my players are pretty much as green as it get's also between 16-18. So my idea is to put them into the Seattle barrens and have them do 3-4 shitty barrens runs for some asshole, since they need money. Low pay, high risk, minimum amount of briefing on the job.
Cue for the nice Ms.Johnson who pays adequately, the jobs are stil high risk but she seems to be very interested in the success of the runs and actually pays.
I inted to have her as their main Johnson (Beeson if you want so) with runs like (and as an Anon in the thread before mentioned) "Some power hungry ares exec wants tu shut down an SINless work programm, stop him", " Hack a goverment server to locate funding towards a community garden.", "Stop the rampart gang violence in that area so people can life in peace for once."

All that and some more runs in the "Our Johnson has a heart of gold" direction.
Maybe put them against an small hornet insect spirit swarm who have taken ofer a group of go-gangers. Only to have rumors of insect spirits spread AFTER they have dealt with them.

And i think Bees (or bumblebees) would make a good kind of antagonist, since the nymphs of them are actually quite intelligent (according to fluff) and less agressive than locus or said hornets. I imagen that they could keep the bigger picture in mind, plan ahead and use non-bugs to do their job.

3-3-1 with this so far.

Might throw in another land.

Perhaps 2 more swamps in exchange for 2 Dreamstealers.

DS9 and VOY had decent ratings for genre shows, comparable to other fairly big name shows of the time (like the X-Files). It's actually TNG that "started" the death spiral, because the execs were continuing to chase the mainstream appeal that TNG brought to the table.

Those numbers weren't sustainable because TNG came out at a time when there were only a handful of channels, and it was syndicated, so there were a lot of options to watch it.

What killed Trek was TNG. Both the show, which produced the audience numbers chase, and the movies, which were terrible yes, even First Contact.

The last nail in the coffin was the inability to figure out why chasing TNG's numbers wasn't working, and moving Trek to a single shitty network. VOY tried to be TNG's 8th-14th seasons, and even when it good it was only barely so. ENT had two seasons where they didn't really know what they wanted to do with the show, so it was basically TNG with a new coat of paint.

How soon is soon?

First for finally admitting defeat about the 7th/8th edition.

I don't even care now that I prefer 7th over 8th, I just want to be able to play.

Bligh was the hero we needed but had not deserved.
FW needs new writers to help French keep up the work, but he may be too much into GW's clutches to keep HH separate from the shit happening to 40k.

>>54869612
Healthy release schedule helps. Specialist Games didn't die because people playing them weren't playing and talking about them.

>>54859547
Crucified.

>>54859547

Accurate. I mean meme vikings are fun sometimes, but the actual culture and history are quite interesting.

>>54859547
But heathens mostly did the same boring shit everyone else does; they weren't even especially more aggressive than anyone else of the time.

>>54858027
What would happen if these guys went into 40K?

A shitty attempt to force a mediocre book that really has nothing to do with traditional games except for the most tangential manner.

Seriously, fuck off with making these lazy threads.
