The Jedi weren't seizing control, they were removing Palpatine

Without Palpatine influence, what remained of the separatists would have fallen apart, and the more corrupt elements of the Senate would have had no leader to rally behind.

It could have gotten messy but until Palpatine claimed otherwise, the Jedi were above reproach

>>53832181
When you think about it, killing Palpatine would have REALLY shifted the balance in the favor of the Jedi.
There was a ridiculous number of moving parts during the Clone Wars and it only lasted as long as they did because the guy in charge on their side was literally feeding information to the other side on a regular enough basis that the War kept dragging on with more and more casualties to their troops, requiring more and more effort to compensate.

If Sidious dies then the Seperatists (or at least the parts actually driving the war itself forward rather then the much more reasonable planets who were dissatisfied with the Republic) are effectively rudderless and leaning towards peace since even Nute Gunray was tired of all the bullshit that came with his dead.
The Senate is still corrupt, but the key figure of it's corruption and the one paying most of the bribes and with the most skill at exploiting weaknesses is dead. Hell, if they ONLY killed him and then just had him disappear and not even publicly admit that they did it a TON of their problems suddenly would become easier to deal with.

The only weakness in Sidious' plan was that it required him to work at all, so if Windu had managed to waste him the whole thing would fall apart, especially since the only other guy who knew the details he'd had Anakin kill a few days ago.

>>53832303
I don't think Sidious cared about his plan surviving him. He was selfish, not like he wanted change for it's own sake.

No takers?

A heavy piece of bronze, sized to be carried in one hand and shaped as a stylized representation of the god of fellowship Nyo-Itl. They are carried by his monks as they travel, as a sign of the god's protection; deals and meals conducted in good faith in it's presence inevitable prosper.

With a word, bandages will slither out from underneath and between the wrappings of this cestus, traveling across the wearer's body and coiling over any wounds, automatically binding them. Drawing on this power too often at once may make the whole thing unravel.

magic weapon with 7 charges, requires attunement. User can spend an action and X charges to cast Cure Wounds as a Level X spell. Recovers 1d6+1 charges at dawn. If you spend all charges, roll 1d20; it breaks on a 1

My friend and I are getting into it. Not many people play it, despite the fun and easy rule set. I bought a box of the British Paratroopers. I'll start an SS and heer allied force, when the SS come out in plastic.

It's more likely to find a millennial who has actually read the GURPS core.

Wouldn't everyone pick 16 then?

Nothing to contribute, but I'm bumping this. Fallout is too good a universe to leave up to just videogames.

Fuck off. You aren't welcome here.

>>53826161

I feel like this is one of the few times I can honestly ask why you aren't just using GURPS without it being a meme, considering that's what Fallout was going to use until the deal with SJG fell through.

This is the book I bought.

Is Rifts worth getting into?

Only if you want to support a tranny loving thief.

>>53815291
>>53815302
Rifts is pretty fun if you like absolutely fucking insane 80s brand sci fi fantasy. And don't mind a clunky but somehow charming system.
Rifts is not worth getting into legally, as the company that makes it is run by a dangerously insane man who is also a huge scumbag.

I usually detest being hyperbolic, but it's overly contrived, Eastern European schlock.

>>53814064
Germany isn't eastern European (yet).

>>53814072
It used to be, but that's besides the point. I was referring more to the mentality that went into the game's creation.

2nd edition AD&D, for it finds the middleground between the lethal and gritty old editions, and the story-driven new ones, allowing me to easily run either one, even within the same campaign.

I also enjoy the Basic D&D as well as a number of retroclones.

I used to play 3rd edition and Pathfinder a fair bit but these days have rather drifted away from them, though I can still have a good time with them provided the right group and DM.

Never really got into 4th or 5th edition, but I'm sure they have their merits as well.

1E. Warhammer 1E

Because the daemons can make the mind go insane, cause plague, or just teleport behind u every static defence.

>>53803299
demons don't work like you think. Who needs guns when you can walk through walls and shrug off bullets like they're nothing?

>>53803299
Bullets are so effective and replaced all other weapons because we are humans.
We can be killed with ONE of those.

In a universe where riddling something with bullets DOESN'T kill it immediately, the effectiveness of guns is reduced.

A phalanx of infantry with spear and shield today isn't scary because you can just incapacitate them all with one machinegun burst.
Now imagine if they DIDN'T stop marching towards you OR scatter or even break formation once you filled them with holes. Suddenly they become a concern again.

Should /wfg/ come up with it's own 9th edition?
