Play oD&D for a change.

If you haven't already try running GURPS. It's huge variety of options makes it something you can really sink your teeth into as a GM and allows you to do something different each game. It might help you from wanting to constantly switch systems as the amount of different campaign styles you can run with it really help vary things up for both the players and the GM and not just the difference of fantasy vs Sci-fi, but the difference of the entire feel of the system. You can play it anywhere rules light to crunchy complex combat, gritty realism to spectacular heroics, combat heavy to social oriented and plenty others ways to switch up the feel of your game.

Run the game you want to run.

No idea, but enjoy your bump.

Is there no explanation on his site?

/a/ would know, just ask 'who are these waifus?'

Lawful or neutral good. Lawful Evil could make a good character, but most who choose it are edgelords whowant the freedom to kill people while still having the backing of the king.

>>51683441
Lawful good.

Often can bring in some 'should I be lawful or good?' scenarios.

>>51683441
True Neutral and Neutral Good are my favorites.

I'd say he's more of a lawful neutral wizard that really wants to be lawful good because upholding the balance of good and evil is kind of lame. I can see where you get necromancer from since he can travel to the afterlife to commune with the dead and perform true resurrection but everything else he does is just generic wizard fare.

>>51683486
He puts Necromancer on his business cards, I aint gonna tell him he's wrong.

Funny thing is, my current character in the D&D game I'm in actually IS a Lawful Good Necromancer.

If you decide on kill team do the Hearlds of Ruin community edition.

If you want a game that is easier to get into with simpler rules and a more fast-paced play style, try 40k kill team.


If you want more complex rules with less dependable combat, a leadership system that actually gets used, and a system that forces you to account for unreliability, go with bolt action.

Personally, I prefer Bolt Action.

>>51683107
Kill Team is more popular and faster.

Bolt Action is the more complex and balanced system.

Someone post the fucking creepy as chaos spawn in here.

Oh look, this thread again.

Here, have this, near enough finest silk.

Basically this entire thread, but this post chain in particular is very interesting.

>Would there be any point in getting Call of Cthulhu if I already have Dungeons and Dragons?
yes, lots of it

>A deft GM won't need other systems
straight WOTC propaganda

i don't think it matters that much which CoC edition you use - they are not THAT different, even 7th.

>>51680745
>A deft GM won't need other systems

It's literally impossible to run a good horror campaign in D&D unless you rewrite all of the rules and all of the fluff to be a different game entirely.

Games are designed with one mode of play in mind. Even "generic" systems have a specific tone they're aiming for, and trying to run something contrary to that tone in them is like trying to dig a pit with a pitchfork: technically possible, but boy you're making things unnecessarily hard for yourself.

so you don't know whether you even need CoC

but you do know the CoC 7E "ruin[s] the atmosphere"

...

just keep running generic fantasy

A term used for that kind of thing is 'Human Plus', often abbreviated to H+

>>51680403
Why are transhumans hated? What kind of stereotypes exist in your world about transhumans? A lot of derogatory terms in the real world rely on stereotypes, even if they're nonsensical, stupid and not really offensive when detached from the hatred that is commonly coupled with them.

>>51680403
Since they're 'Modified humans' terms derived from that such as Mods, Modders or like wise could work.

>>51680436
Not OP, but think of the hate athletes who get caught doping get, then apply it to Transhumans.

>>51680090
Scientifically proven to die in Dead magic zones in Neverwinter Nights 1, and is the only major Aberration species reliant on such a force to survive.

Aboleths don't even fucking use the weave, they're a servitor race from fucking Ry'leh

Beholder mages though? Jesus fuck, forces of pure rape thank fuck they're few and inbetween because of the antimagic eye issue.

I though to that's how they normally work.

AdMech:
>psyker servitor hooked up to machine apparatus and psi-tech
>heavily drugged up, most non-essential parts of the psyker amputated and excised
>psyker set into deep, horrifying trance where they are able to read into the warp in a dreamlike state
>visions converted to noospheric data and run through predictive models
>potentially also harness the warp offensively, turning he psyker from a predictive cogitator into a focusing loci for machine-prompted psychic energy attacks

Essentially a psyker support unit for AdMech, giving them Divination for support of other units of Technomancy powers for offense.

Machi Koro maybe? It uses cards and a money system to buy them and is pretty fun and short.

Why no one convert dwarf fortress to mud or make a super complex mud?

Having all the extra resources because of the fact your mud will only be text and not using it, looks very stupid and against the point

>>51682248
>Having all the extra resources....
change that to
Having all the extra computer resources available...

>>51679019
>Anybody remember that guy on here a couple years ago that was building a MUD?
No. Tell me more. Why build a new one when there already exists a lot of engines?
