Put yo mom in the middle.

>500 page rulebook

if a group was playing this IRL, it'd look like they were doing taxes when in reality they were just playing Pokemon.

What he said. You could probably have more fun with a Mystery Dungeon format.

PTA is shit, don't bother with it
PTU is super convoluted but playable, use at your own risk
Pokerole is another system, less convoluted for beginners but still, play with caution.

Pokemon pen and paper is a super light system and quick to set up, play it of you want bare bones

Pokecthlulu is also there, play if you are a faggot.

Years ago I mashed Toon and Call of Cthulhu together to run a 'Cool World' inspired game.

Thanks, but uh... if I'd wanted attribute+race+class I'd just stick with OD&D instead of one of the 500 knockoffs of the idea.

(FATE would be great because attributes are treated the same as skills, but I can't stand FATE points and don't particularly like aspects. It's too much a story/plot oriented system and not an adventure based one.)

Something like scrolls and swords?

Bump

Knees: weak
Palms: sweaty
Mom's spaghetti: on his sweater already

You could probably just use storm giants and scale down the size.

My only character that owns slaves at the moment treats them decently at least.
He owns four slaves and makes them compete against each other for the position of Primo slave. The Primo gets better food and rest then the three others but is in turn responsible for making sure the three others do as they are told.

They mostly do menial labor and make sure the camp is nice and neat.

Saged.

Treats them all right, basically just gives them food and safety in exchange for some labor and help and advice. They've got a good deal of personal freedoms and rarely need anything too much.

Really, there's just no point in being cruel to them. That's just being a dick.

I'll save this thread.

I've been GMing it since it came out pretty much. Personally, the more I play it, the more I like it. I've tried 5th e and PF and they really don't compare.

It's hard to explain really. I've introduced it to about 20 something different players, all but 2 have fallen in love with it and refuse to play anything else.

It seems like a more complicated system than it actually is.A lot of it is really intuitive and I've found that it's easier to learn if you've never played an RPG before.

You'll feel a little punished by character creation at first but after 3 or 4 characters, you'll discover that rolling up a character is one of your favorite part.

Can't guarantee I'll be on later to answer any questions. I'd say you should take a look at the free rules and maybe pick up the full PDF.

Not enough poo in loo.

Yeah, I guess. It doesnt make it any more fun to play in. It mas as well be Numenon.

Secretary, why is there a g missing from 'Legion'? Damn it, is The Linguist fucking with our lettering again? Revoke his share of plutonium untill further notice.

Is it even possible to compete with 40k at this point?

>>54106886
Plenty of games do.
Going "Well what do people want to play?" is the wrong way, though. You start with a game you like and see if it catches on.

>>54106935
What would be the best way to go about this? By offering at conventions? Just throwing it up on kickstarter? Demos?

Looking at cost to produce without going bamkrupt.

We've got 2 prototypes that are very fun. And had some positive reviews. Now used about finding a way to get it out there for funding and production without going broke.

Their society is located on a planet sized worldcraft drifting through the void of of intergalactic space.

>The genetically engineered now prefer an aquatic lifestyle, living on the bottom of earth's oceans, while the cybernetically enhanced life primarily in orbit over the planet.

There are no files on what life was like before humanity's exodus from its home galaxy. There is no record of that time, not even the cause of the exodus.

As far as humanity is concerned, history began when they awoke long after their home had left galactic space.
