I guess americans don't know anything about it

Its probably down to every other rare historically based setting, people dont know about it and existing media doesn't cover it.

>>55200794

They confuse it all the time with Late Middle Ages. Not entirely their fault, since they overlap somewhat.

>>55200455
So far as monsters go, i have skellymans and maybe some sorta naga or lamia. Not sure on that one yet.

Generally going for that aztec feel, but more generic stuff is appreciated.

First of all, where is this ruin? What biological life exists outside the ruins, in a vicinity of at most a kilometer / a mile? If you already settled on something, you could use some critters to inhabit the entry. That would be a mellow start into the crawl and give the players a feeling on where they are. Later, they could encounter other creatures that want to permanently inhabit the place, or try to rob the last remaining pieces of value from the ruins.

Next, that building is a ruin. But what was it before it fell into disarray? You mentioned "like indiana jones", so is it a place of reverie that houses artifacts? In that case, design the traps in a way that makes it possible to reach said artifacts, but have them trigger when someone tries to take the displayed items. You could, just for fun, add the rock orb, or the nasty variants of it.

Last, give enough clues about the traps and the monsters. In my experience it makes the whole experience more fun if the players have the chance to anticipate what they are about to face.

I'm wondering if you thought this through, but this anon >>55202738 had some good starting point stuff

Shinobigami is made to emulate dark supernatural stuff like Ninja Scroll and Wicked City. It's billed as a "ninja" game but it's not hard to re-fluff it to do most battle shounen-style fantasy action stuff.

As for Jin-Roh or Vampire Hunter D, I feel like you could probably find something for either that is a better fit for their settings, if that's what you're really after, though it really depends what aspects of them you're really looking to get at.

I don't know how realistically looking for?

I guess the shit like Phoenix command, top Secrets and twilight 2000 which are just straight military and espionage games

I can think of a few crime rpg but they tend to be fairly over the top

>>55200279
There are plenty of SYSTEMS for playing an ultra-realistic game, so finding one shouldn't be a problem.

There are very few published SETTINGS for ultra-realistic games, however, because if there are no fantastic elements, there's really no value in a product that just explains the world, because we already have Wikipedia for that.

So a feudal army whose culture is highly influenced by elves?

Can't think of much...

White Scars but instead of Mongols they're useless faggots misled by the Eldar.

Bretonia was too noblebright and flawless* to be in 40K, or even Age of Sigmar. They ascended to become the Deus Vult meme. Now they can crusade forever.

Our group is a bit more combat focused so we decided to go with 4e. I really like the versatility of the wotc character builder, but i was wondering if there is an easier way to go about finding all the feats in one place etc.

Wh40k it's so stupid than it can go any way depending of the canon. Also they would loose if they need SPACE MARINES to save the day, or not if they want to portray the guard in a good light (something not done very much of late).

Notice how the article doen't mention anything about noble or bright.

Grimdark is the new "steampunk" - people will apply it meaninglessly without understanding the actual idea behind it.

Pretty sure it was Homestuck.

Everything /tg/ is mainstream now. Over the last fifteen years the scene has become full of nu-males, casuals and fake nerds who learn the lingo and then spread it around through normalfag channels. It was partly due to a surge in popular fantasy media like WoW, GoT, 40k vidya and LotR/Hobbit, and also a general (and paradoxical) raising of nerd profile in nerd blackface shows like BBT and Peep Show.

The rules of the haunt supersede the game rules, even ones written on the cards themselves. The haunt specifically tells you what to do with the girl.

From the traitor book.
>You lose the Girl and any bonuses from the Girl card. Put the Girl token (crimson) in any room on the same floor as the room where the haunt was and at least five tiles away from the Mummy. If no rooms are at least five tiles away, place her as far away as possible on that floor.
>Set aside the Girl card. When an explorer enters the same room as the Girl token, that player takes the Girl card.
>If you get the Girl, you can give her to the Mummy while you're in the same room. The Mummy then becomes the Girl's custodian.
And the survivors
>When a player's character enters the same room as the Girl token, that player takes the Girl card.

In short, the girl is a physical token on the board to be moved around. Her ownership changes whenever an explorer/player (not the mummy) enters the same room as her. Note that even when you are the traitor, you are still an explorer/player unless the game revokes this by removing your character from the board and making you play a token for a monster, group of monsters, a tree, or whatever. So, in other words, you are playing tug of war with a little girl as the rope. You didn't need to kill your friend to get her in your possession, but as murder is always the second way to victory anyway you may as well have. The mummy also has special rules to becoming custodian of the girl that are identical to the rules for stealing any other item.

I've had some of my best and worst ga.i g moments ever with this game. Sometimes it's a crazy 5 v 1 fight to the death with a bunch of cool interactions, but other times it's waiting 45 minutes for the haunt to start just for the Traitor to move two tiles and win the game. Anyone else feel this way?

You needed to roll a natural 21 to succeed at that. Now roll for anal circumference.

Man.
Even with the jumpmaker giving explicit permission, it's just a buncha cowards up in here.

Man.

It's been years and you still haven't done it yourself, no matter how hard you pretend anyone else gives a shit. You're just a coward.

The only thing Bayonetta is good for is life drain porn. Fight me. I even 100%'d the game. Least the first one.
