Sit down and talk to them. It's pretty much the only way. Be blunt, but not a dick about it.

"I get that rogues are cool, but this is a game about working together in a group. By acting in this manner, you're working against everybody else in the group."

Try to build empathy. Try to get them to understand if somebody treated them like that constantly, they would hate working with that person. Try to explain that playing with the same character every game isn't fun for anybody else, and this is a group experience.

>>51794183
First, address tenants of good role-playing with the group, reaffirm what you expect from good players as a whole. Do NOT address anything that would target him to the entire group. Then off to the side, discuss with each player, not just him, what you expect from them personally, talking to him last or second to last.

Finally, run some Trail or Call of Cthulhu, or some other high-mortality game, and have a good player kill session or two, killing indiscriminately.

If you're playing in person, maybe make an effort to go completely offline, and ban electronics at the table, if you haven't already. Electronics ruin engagement and roleplay.

>How do we deal with friends who are just HORRIBLE roleplayers?

You can't. I've tried. I've tried everything, from subtle in-game carrot&stick to frank OOC discussion. Still the same special snowflakes, still the same edgemeisters, still the same lolsorandum, still the same morons who try to kill everything. If they don't get it naturally then they never will. At most you'll get a couple of minimal, trivial concessions before That Guy reverts to type.


>Bitches when he takes any damage, regardless of game

This isn't really a RP thing, more a sore loser thing. Generally, just telling them to suck it up will shut them up.

And for the last one, there's this super competitive fuck in my playgroup who will get competitive even at charades. So I did the sensible thing and taught him 1 on 1 competitive Magic using my Pauper decks. Most games I buy Hess days is bought partly as a test to see how competitive he can make it.

I bought Citadels recently, having played it much in my youth. I look forward to seeing people play that game with him.

So is High Frontier good? Or just autism personified?

>>51750257
Both.

Dwarves could have delved deeper underground for protection and taken on more mole/rat-like features? Maybe some of the races just outright died off because they wern't strong enough to survive?

>>51815005
Is that guy retarded? Faerûn elves are shorter than Tolkien elves.

>>51815005
Why are you using generic deendee fantasy schlock?

Left 4 Dead 2 was alright, even though I enjoyed the simplicity 1 had. All in all 1 had more personality to its characters I think.

>>51807006

Only once. And hearing a player absolutely butchering the Southern accent was enough.

>Ya gotta purty mout sahn.

>>51807006
I faked Southern accent and mannerisms in Britain on one occasion. That's what I do for fun, imitate exotic cultures, interact with strangers, look at the way they react and listen to their opinions. I'm pretty sure nobody has ever doubted me.

>>51805791
anyone?

Ironclaw uses a similar system to SW IIRC, but hits that don't wound put you "off balance" instead of Shaken.

Off balance comes off automatically, but gives you penalties (-1 or -2 to attacks and defenses).

This means the player can act, but getting ganged up on is going to turn deadly quick.

Wish I could answer your question as someone with experience with the system OP, I need to get in more SW games :(

>>51803643
Get a copy of Ryuutama, read it, and run the two sample scenarios with picnic rules.

>>51803643

reeee normie ect

Now that is out the way I've found that both new players AND new gm's have gotten on OK with DND 5e so maybe give that a go.

Download GURPS Lite and give it a go.

>>51802376
Like Age of Sigmar.

guilliman dies
the Ynnari and their god die
cadians are replaced with gothic greatcoart-wearing gasmasked guardsmen as the IG poster boys

Yvraine cures the Rubric, Magnus switches sides and takes the Emperor's place on the Golden Throne, the Emperor is finally free to be reborn, he gets a model and starts a new Great Crusade to shrink the Eye of Terror again.

On a critical hit, everyone nearby sees the hit in slow motion. This is not messing with time but only perception.

Okay /epg/, you and five other randos have set out to colonize the outer system after successfully staking a claim on Chariclo (because you got there first) in AF 5.

Who are you, what do you believe in and why are you in the middle of fucking nowhere?

>10199 Chariklo

Heh, that's funny you picked that one. I did a writeup for a new age-esque Singularity Seeker cult who formed a base on that object.

>>51797064
I didn't ask this properly in the last thread, but how common does egocasting-into-missions tend to be in most peoples' campaigns? Is it really worthwhile to upgrade your starting morph if there's a heavy chance that you won't be using it when you need it?

I'll try to give it just one more shot, and if it dies, it dies.

I really don't like 3rd edition D&D, and other systems that have a series of otherwise unconnected pairs. Fire & Cold, Light & Darkness, etc. 3rd, especially, has other pairs like Air & Earth, that only get used a couple times in the entire game, which is very disappointing.

Most games just have a list of element types that exist in the system, creatures individually resist whatever they have on their list, with absolutely no relation between the elements themselves at all.

I wish there was a system with a nice web, but without too many components that would increase bookkeeping.

I tend to make my own, but I like alternative ones that have 5 elements, or maybe just 3 elements as long as it isn't just fire/earth/air/water.

>>51781673
How about posting one and telling us how it influenced the game?

>>51812677
I've got a friend who's been playing in one for over three years. They just had a special round where nine of the players showed up at once and two DMs had simultaneous sessions in similar locations. One party had to infiltrated hell and pull a giant devil back through a portal while the other party pushed on it from the other side. Generally, they would play with two completely unrelated quests but the campaign is ending this semester so it's time for the DMs to ramp up the action.

I'd love to be in one or DM one myself, but I'm already in a campaign and also running a giant collaborative worldbuilding project so I have no time. West marches seems so perfect for today's players who never have enough time to meet regularly.

One of the things that really appeals to me about west marches as a forever DM is that you can have a co-DM and have a chance to play in their campaign.

>>51812677
Is this a campaign setting or a separate game?

>>51810394
It's called Complete Psionics.

Maybe I want magic, not psychic powers. Not everyone can live a vegan life.

So 5e cantrips?

>>51808256
Don't.
Down that road is only anger and disappointment.

>>51808256
Everything you need is on the Wizards website. Just read through the short stories they post. If you want a TLDR of the story then play Duels of the Planeswalkers.

>>51808323
I mean the entire story, from Alpha on.

First for SigKhorGleEsh

Second for asking help. I'm planning to do a homebrew RPG system for Hammerhal and I'm beginning to work out the details, but need help:
