Savage Worlds, but expect supertech to rapidly outstrip 20th century weaponry. But if it can do anything it's heroic characters winning against the odds with luck and clever tactics.

FATAL

But schizotech is perfect for gurps! Especially when it comes to handwaving!

Dick-waving contest go! Look at my expensive cardboard. SAGE.

Nice fake chinamen Goyf's. Pro tip: the shitty coloring gives you guys away everytime.

My experience of alchemists is that they're cunts who want to kill my melee characters by proxy so they play a character with innate area of effect abilities.

I'm still fucking salty. The sorry always sounds so hollow.

Artificer does everything better than everyone else and will likely get banned or homeruled into uselessness.

Depends on the setting.

Thaumatology calls on the powers of the gods.
Magic is a force that allows the rewriting of cosmic laws, cheating the system.
And powers are mutations that result in magic-like abilities, but they still come from a place of SCIENCE.

congratulations, you are an idiot.
Boat prices are in the DMG.
But since you are a lazy fuckwit and I like boats, here:
Keelboat (small sailing ship) 3k gp
sailing ship 10k gp

so your players either bought the fanciest keelboat in the area, perhaps from an emperor, noble or king, or they bought a 'fixer-upper' junker of a sailboat that probably is barely floating and needs at least 5k gp of work to be a functional sailboat. The second is more likely, especially if its in danger of sinking, is in a shipyard on land, or has debt collectors after the owner.

>>54340423

I don't play dnd, but wouldn't it be reasonable that there'd be something inbetween those two options? Say a single-mast cutter?

That said the most obvious solution to me seems to be that they bought a full-sized vessel but they got it cheap because it's haunted or cursed or some other thing that would require a group of murderhobos to solve before it can be leveraged as an asset.

Sounds like a good plot hook to me

Maptools is a wonderful system. Unfortunately it is shackled to the dumpster fire that is java.

IRC.

My DM wants to start running games online so we don't have too much downtime but he's horrible with computers. I've met elderly people with more of an grasp than him.

Which would be the best option for him?

>>54340009
Fucking stupid.

>>54340009

"Meta" anything is fucking stupid meme shit.

If you just end it on that? It's pretty cheesy and I'd personally feel let down.

If you continued past that point? Make the campaign about the RPG characters trying to destroy their creators? Go full meta with it and continue playing? I'd be interested.

Apparently prophets and farseers in The Cabal (especially the eldar) foresaw that his shame over patricide would drive him mad, and in his attempt to cleanse his shame he would become a more and more draconian tyrant. This would start a cycle of dishonor and shame and his inability to deal with it would eventually destroy humanity.

If the Cabal was right then the answer is no.

And honestly that makes sense. Horus was a warlord - this his title - and not a leader. He and his legion were savages not builders. Mortarion probably would have been the best choice among the traitors to take over, morbid and prejudiced against Psykers as he was the man was more level headed and self controlled than the others.

>>54339324
Wouldn't Lorgar be the more appropriate choice? He is often compared to his loyalist brother Roboute as both of them did their best to not only conquer but build Empires in their wake. Sure his idea of a good Empire might be distorted by the time they reached Holy Terra but no more warped than Mortarion.

>>54339324
Honestly, I think Horus would pull an Emperor and go back on the Chaos Gods, and slay his corrupted brothers. Mortarion, Lorgar, Magnus, Angron and Fulgrim would all be on the chopping block, while Perty, Cruze and Alpharius would stick with Horus.

WHOOOOO!!

Bump of intrest.

Take multiple city maps, cut them up, then mash them together. Add evocative imagery.
Modify as needed (past this point, South Montgomery Drive becomes a private road on megacorp property).
Alternately, draw a small region, just the basic terrain (so mark/note any major hills/valleys, ponds/lakes, and streams/rivers, plus any coastlines). Alternately, grab a topographic map of your preferred region. Import to editing program, then add city region boundaries in another layer. Throw another layer on top, and use this one for roads. Most cyber punk cities will have several sections on a grid, but others will be... Odd. Use topography for the inspiration: a super steep hillside has either a road following the curvature until it can get to the bottom, or it has bridges going down to/over the valley. Probably both.
Industrial areas get weird, since stuffing factories and railroad loading docks into as small a space as possible gets you weird interruptions to the grid.
Any long term slum with no legal authority willing to enforce any regulations will get even weirder as people block roads to make compounds, blow up houses to make dirt roads, build their own things on top of each other, and turn multiple blocks into something like Kowloon.

Don't forget to add up random big squares for arcologies. Either for the poor where their bodies are recycled after death, or little green paradises for the rich.

Combat as Sport: the PCs approach the bees and engage them in combat using the terrain to their advantage, using their abilities intelligently and having good teamwork. The fighter chooses the right position to be able to cleave into the bees while staying outside the radius of the wizard’s area effect spell, the cleric keeps the wizard from going down to bee venom and the rogue sneaks up and kills the bee queen. These good tactics lead to the PCs prevailing against the bees and getting the honey. The DM congratulates them on a well-fought fight.

>I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
A colossal continent with many inland seas. They are too salty to contain much biological life, and the forgotten depths are the realm of brine shrimp and the undead.
>I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
The dead refuse to die, and will continue to walk and feed and imitate life until cut into slurry. Even interred, they somewhat animate their graves. Large graveyards can form kaiju-sized monstrosities.
>I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
Sometimes wolves give birth to humans. The fey are absolute pricks.
>I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
With no way to cash them in, the diamond plane is nothing but a shiny expanse. If you listen close, you can hear it whisper.
>I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
Everything is alive in this world. Everything.
>Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
The deathly seas of brine often boil and undulate as the undead try to break free from its grip.
>Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
The soul changes when the body dies, immediately giving rise to new life. While the body cannot stop what it has done for years prior and continues to feed and walk as if it was actually alive.
Nothing is truly inanimate in this world,
