CyberPunk 2020 Question
How do I implement genetically engineered monsters and or aliens, the rules, if even those from Mekton Zeta are non-existent on the matter?
sci fi/space fantasy/cyberpunk/etc art thread anything and all things non medieval fantasy are welcome
Is this accurate, /tg/?
>>53813569
As a Shadowrun GM, and having never played GURPS or even read the rules, I can confirm GURPS is a better system.
dnd 5e = casuals/babby's first rpg
shadowrun = edgelords/autism
gurps = universe man
Thing I No Like = Shit Babby Retard Potato
Other Thing I No Like = Edgelord Kiddy Nothing Personal
Thing I LIke = Super Intelligent Sophisticate
But what are your feelings on skub OP?
Bogo-Indian edition
The Bogo-Indian is a good opening for club players, but it's not seen often at the IM/GM level because of its much greater simplicity compared with the Nimzo-Indian or the Queen's Indian Defense. The rapid disappearance of Black's dark squared bishop is a disadvantage for him.

/tg/ chess is back?

Yeh but there's a guy who worships Bill Wall and promotes the use of shitty novelty openings.
wats the best wargame for a beginner who is also retarded?
Warhammer.
Someone's gonna say it, might as well be me.

Thumbs War. You don't even need a second player!

I heard when he came back he admitted that parts of the Codex were a bad idea. Mostly the splitting into Chapters instead of the Legions. Is this true?
No it's not true. But he did add things to the codex and when people tried to argue he just told them to talk to the hand.
>>53813024
>Talk to the hand
Holy shit I forgot about that early 00's expression. That's one to be readded to my vocabulary.

do not re-add that to your vocabulary
Wasn't sure what thread to ask this in, but I've been wanting to ask. When you can't find a traditional gaming group anywhere IRL, where do you guys go for your roleplaying fix? I used to futz about with MMO RP, but I find myself hating most MMOs that I play lately.
pic unrelated
>>53811624
I play a heavily modded skyrim. Sometimes it's more fun than any actual group I'm in.
MMOs never satisfy. They always lure you with sweet promises but after a couple hours it becomes painfully apparent how shallow the RP elements are. There's RP servers but...it's akin to playing pretend in a schoolyard where everyone has a different idea of what the rules are.
>>53815321
Actually, I've been rping on wow for a couple weeks now, and it's not bad. Of course, it's not as in depth or immersive as a single player modded rpg or a tabletop rpg, but from a character interaction standpoint it does the trick.
>>53811624
Threshold RPG was pretty aright, I prefer discord now - join a few channels related to the kinds of RPGs, play pickup games with vetted folks, if it don't turn out well then nothing really is lost.
What are some good reasons for an elven nation (non-Drow) to hobble along on the edge of failure?
Particularly looking for a banana republic or dictatorship flair.
And I want to exclude some obvious ones like wont breed enough, too druidic to farm (although a nice famine brings ambient scarcity) and just have been pummeled by enemies.
Declining birth rate and over indulgence in elder worship. You end up with very few kids who are subservient to dozens of generations of grand parents. Society is breaking down because all the older elves feel they are entitled to respect and an easy life, but they didnt have enough kids to keep such a system going.
>>53809356
The elven kingdoms of Cerilia (Birthright, an oldschool setting) were driven to near extinction due to slow breeding, attempting a genocide on all humans at the height of humanity's invasion of the continent, and lack of priestly magic. They still hobble along in small isolated kingdoms, mostly because the might of the humans was itself broken by the arrival of a dark god (who then died, causing all kind of OTHER problems).
>>53809391
>>53809398
>"And I want to exclude some obvious ones like wont breed enough"
But old elves being a drain is a good thought. Most of the time they are portrayed as capable far into centuries old, but maybe they stop being useful for cultural reasons. A bloated caste where everybody wants to be quasi nobility.
Haven't done this in a while, but I've got a day off.
The setting in brief.
Technological advance inevitably leads to collapse. Humanity has reached great heights and conquered the stars, but has fall from these heights. This cycle of advancement and collapse has occurred an unknown number of times, and much of humanities past has been forgotten.
Now some reminants of humanity can travel the stars using the 'slipstream', but these link only small clusters of systems. Humanity is isolated inside these groups of stars. You are the humanity's scattered children. You are the Diaspora.
How do you start.
Pick a name and type 'dice 12d3' into the email thread.
This will generate out the fudge roll for your 3 system stats.
Rolled 1, 3, 2, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1 = 24 (12d3)
The three stats are Technology, Environment and Resources.
To give you an example
The Sol System (that's us)
Tech -1 The atomic age
Habitat +1 One garden world, and several hostile worlds.
Resources +1 Rich. Asteroid belts for mining, gas giants for gas farming. Main garden world has fossil and nuclear full.
Feel free to ask question btw.
>>53809376
oh, how you read the stat roll.
in this case
1,3,2,1= -1,+,0,-= -1 Tech, Atomic age
1,3,3,3=+2 Habitat, one garden and several survivable
2,2,2,1=-1 Almost viable.
The world and civilization is surviving, but it's not really progressing, and without trade will slowly start to fall apart.
It can trade, but at a disadvantage.
Next Important setting bit: Slipstream
Slipstream is how FTL travel is possible in this setting. Each system has two 'slipknots' located above and below the sun (relative to the planetary disk) at ~5 AU (distance from Earth to Jupiter).
A ship with a slipdrive (a small but extremely complex device) can travel from one of these slipknots to any system directly connected by a slipstream (the lines seen in the cluster pic).
Is near instantaneous, but build up a great deal of heat and ships emerge at a random position and vector anywhere within 100,000 km of the target slipknot.
So if system that is defending has an extreme advantage in any sort of intersystem combat. Attacking a system with space capable weaponry (T1) is not practical until Tech 3+. Even against T0, piracy is is easier than invasion.
Tech and space travel are hard sci-fi. Ships are big, expensive, and dealing with waste heat is a serious issue.
So The setting making works best with between 5 and 8 systems, so I'm hoping for at least 3 players.
The base stats are just to get your brain turning. After that players generate out how their system works, focusing on it by itself, and make 2 aspects.
After we have systems we'll generate how they all link up.
> People gained superpowers almost three decades ago, when a mysterious event bestowed a tenth of the population with supernatural abilities, seemingly at random.
>>53803538
>a tenth
>random abilities
Loads of people died when a shitload of new heroes got the "everything around me dies" or "everytime I breath I use all the air in the room and everyone with me dies" powers.
>>53803566
That's actually a great start, postapocalyptic world recovering from that event, people hating and being afraid of mutates. Makes way more sense than Mutants in X-men.
>>53803654
I uh literally took both those powers from X-Men.
But mutants in X-Men aren't one tenth of the population, so each happened only once.

FUCK YEAH
>>53799643
Its finally fuckin happening my dudes
FINALLY
In the year 2067 A.D., 40 years into the future, the earth is completely flooded in oceans. Primeval creatures from the depths of the sea, once locked away in the hidden grottos of the abyss, have now broken free and prowl the seas. Humans are forced to live in Bojangles owned biospheres, known as BoSpheres. Bojangles owns all human life, and has transformed from a minor American fast food chain, to a spiraling empire own which all human life depends. All Bojangles owned machinery has a soul, and requires technopriests and engineseers to keep the machine-spirits optimal and running. Daemons from across the stars and from the bowels of the earth now seek to possess machinery and undersea fauna so that they may wreak havoc upon the human race. Forget reason, forget hope, for their is only darkness in the grim future of BoHammer 20K.

I would like some advice on the army so i know how far i'm of the mark.
New topic:
How would you do alternating activations for 40k? Would you prefer it to phases?

>You've just received an ornate invitation from the Princess Consort of Lizard Land
>You are to present yourself at the royal feasting hall at once

>at once
That doesn't sound like an invitation, that sounds like a summons.
How often does the gondola come by? I only have one pair of boots.
>>53821932
I clearly am a lizard as well so this is my chance to be the Rex of a whole nation.
You don't need magic. Only the town guards, military, and noble officials should have access to spells and catalysts. This dangerous weapon can wreak untold harm in the hands of the irresponsible...just look at this convenient sequence of necromancer attacks for proof...and should be stamped out.
Have a laugh, bin that staff.
>>53821339
Fuck off, my right to cast spells shall not be infringed. It's wizards of the coast, not fighters who can boast.
>>53821339
I take great issue with this, my abilities as a necromancer have made me a target of magical prejudice and to be honest I'm getting annoyed by how many moronic paladins I have had to terminate and resurrect at the churches insistence. further more I refuse to relinquish my magical talents. so in closing, try and take my abilities and I shall be forced to "recycle" you
