Looking for a group on a european time zone to play with

I need a regular fucking group to meet weekly for anything. So tired of people cancelling all the time.

FUCKING WEEKLY!

Character sheet for my first attempt homebrew game. Thoughts?

>Question: Should "To Hit" and "Damage" be separate or the same roll?
I've always liked base Defense/Attack stat with opposed rolls added. From there, the difference is the damage. I mean yea it's clunky but I've always loved it.

I have no rules and I must brew.

>>52583574
Both can be good, depends on the system. I find separate works better for simple mechanics.

hidebehind is good, as are other fearsome critters (if you make 'em a little more fearsome and a little less goofy)

Bump

Give me your most interesting rule wise skrimish games.

>>52528253
Honestly malifaux's core mechanics are amongst the most interesting to me. Action points and alternating activations, with card based resolutions and a solid scenario generator. Too bad their current aesthetics and individual unit designs aren't that great IMHO

>>52640994
Hiding him in a card sleeve.

tap three islands, put down cheaty face, than use your three blue mana for something else.

>>52641092
Kek. Not OP, but I'm going to do that if I get a Cheatyface.

Mildly important in that the average infantryman needs to lug around a lot of gear and ammo, and adopting weaker, lighter ammo for service weapons is a frequent compromise.
Stronk muskles won't help you not get airstriked or artileried to bits, though.

Very important in that non-grunts, the people hauling supplies and arming warmachines, have a lot of especially big and especially heavy shit to manipulate, which is why militaries are so keen on developing exosuits.

>>52639880

You don't want your soldiers to be huge slabs of muscle, that means they require more food to stay alive.

Something close to book-version War of the Worlds Martians, except with a really ferocious immune system instead of a nonexistent one. A big brain, good eyes, good hands/manipulators, and the smallest amount of organs needed to support that. Although the sense organs and hands might well be disposed of in favor of neural interfacing, turning the soldier into a brain and support organs, basically.

Flesh is squishy and weak, machines stronk. what the soldier contributes is the intelligence the machines currently lack. And a soldier that's just a brain-pod allows for more machine and less meat, as well as less restriction in shape. Such a soldier could wear power armor that doesn't have its limbs limited by the need to wrap around the squishy arms and legs of the human inside for example.

Almost forgot; for self reproduction they'll need wombs and weenies, if artificial ones don't already exist.

The real world is full of things a lot bigger and stronger then man. They all get killed with guns, the great equalizer over strength.

Some Ideas so far:
>Ability to use multiple forms of fantasy powers ranging from ki, to magic, maybe even some divine stuff.
>Always over equipped with equipment
>Armor is some kind of powerful armor that gives them haste, has adamantium plates woven in for protection, telepathy with the collective group regardless of distance, limited invisibility, water breathing, and etc. Powered by some crystal of power.

that'll cost you a ritualistic birthing ceremony and a good 15 years of gym fees for each.

And they still die like scrubs.

>>52632897
It's gonna feel weird to you, it has all kinds of rules that don't really make much sense but have been tacked on over the years - it's basically houserules the game. It's worth a look I guess?

>>52632897
No. But if you like 5e, you'll think AD&D is fucking amazing - IF you have a GM who can think for himself.

>>52632897
Go 1e, 2e is going to feel clunky unless you've been actively using it in a side game or something

Hope you enjoy your 0% win rate against half the format.

I wish I knew the retarded magic terminology so I could participate in this thread.

Are full body cyborgs a thing in Shadowrun?

Take a guess why I'm asking. Also, do the GMs here do the 4 Limbs for attributes or the 5 Limbs for attributes?

>>52600922
System?

>>52600922
Spike strips.

>>52600929
5e

>>52639297
It's possibly the worst idea I never wanted. So probably better than Beast the Primordial.

lolno not even close

We've had this thread god knows how many times by this point.

The consensus is a pretty strong 'no'.

The good ol' Falx.

Literally, indisputably, undeniably, irrefutably, unarcumptuously, the greatest melee weapon ever made.

>>52638107
>Halberd
I agree, but polearms are really really tricky. There's about a million different ones and they were (mostly) all specialized for attacking certain armor or formations

A strong yes.

Doesn't depend on the setting but the bandits themselves. Some of those, some of these, and some others too.

The latter.

both of these and much more - bored nobility, foreign agents rising unrests, misunderstood revolutionaries, PCs...
