Alright listen, some mates and I tried to play Weird War II. And I gotta say, savage worlds sucks major donkey dick. We could barely figure out how anything works, and we were literally reading three seperate source books trying to find information on what base AC is supposed to be, how skills work and how the fuck you determine initiative. So, savage worlds is out. Because the gameplay gets in the way of the gameplay.

So, We still want to play a game about supernatural WWII happenings, and we don't so much mind the system of upgrading dice for attributes and skills, it makes it so that someone with low INT can't just nat 20 a skill check for something they have no business succeeding in. But christ almighty savage worlds is awful. Does anyone have any recommendations of systems we could use, games we could play, homebrew solutions? I brought up playing bolt action but none of them want to play a minis based game because they're fags.
HALP.

ITT: we tell OP why he's an idiot for being unable to learn a system that's in the same category of difficulty as 5e.

>>51509331
listen mate, i've played 3.5, 5e, 4e, pathfinder, 2e, SWN, fucking DCC. Maybe it's because we were using the books that converted the game to not use the dumb card mechanic, but between three different fucking books there was barely a clear answer on how to do half the basic shit we wouldn't have a problem doing in any other system.
>>
>>51509274
alright, I've decided we're going to do GURPS because fuck it. Any recommendations for source books with supernatural shit and 1930's/40's shit? Also, is there somewhere to download the gurps core rules for free because fuck paying for the tabletop nerds version of Linux.

We all know that in the end, it's all about the clergy invisible. Avatars had it figured out all along, and Adepts are the guns they bring along the way. Adepts are a Global thing, while Avatars are the end-all, be-all of humanity's future. Can't go against the grain if you want change the world, after all.

Only, that doesn't make sense. At all. You ever hear of Otherspaces? Masterless Unspeakable Servants? The Cruel Ones? They don't make sense. Humans DON'T KNOW where those minds come from. The Stratosphere isn't behind those. There's something out there that the Clergy's trying to cover up. Something they don't want us to know.

When you dig past the 'ultimate truth', what's REALLY out there?

And can I use it for my Adept cabal's Cosmic goals?

Old universes. Every time it gets reset, chunks of the last incarnation get left behind. That's how rituals work, right? Leftovers and gaps in the universal construction. It turns out we are lazy gods. Mostly they collapse in on themselves without the rest of the universe to lean on for support and disappear (or encyst themselves in the universes' fabric so deeply as it makes no difference). A fraction of them form spontaneous Otherspaces, and a fraction of those have a strong enough raison d'etre to be actively dangerous. Seeking something from us. Maybe a way to sustain themselves forever or even lay claim to some of this sweet corporeal real estate.

Like the House of Renunciation.

Hey /tg/ I have been wondering why MTG players actively try to discourage girls/women from playing MTG? Is this still a thing that goes on?

I ask because we used to play at a small FLGS since alara/zendikar block and were early adopters of EDH in a small group of 3-6 people.

Then out small FLGS closed down so we all went to play at the bigger LGS which hosts more events and has more players. Everything was fine when I walked in the door, but when the ~50 people playing noticed my fiancee they were all staring with "What the fuck are you doing here" looks on their faces. I'm pretty oblivious to these things normally - but fuck: even I picked up on the uncomfortable vibe going on.

Because of this we dropped MTG and moved onto playing warmahordes and the people there are super chill and easy to get along with, but It's kind of shitty that we can't get out to play EDH anymore together, and we do enjoy playing and improving our MTG decks - but let's face it your deck can only get so good by playing one other person over and over (and it gets dull even if you have 2 or 3 decks to choose from).

I know its impossible to gauge from store-to-store how things are, but are things generally getting more positive for getting women into the game and not being dicks to them?

I've been searching for a usable fillable character sheet of legend of the five rings, most of the ones I've found will have small glitches like not allow double digits or not allow you to modify your stats but you can everything else.

I've found one thats not bad, but its not complete and doesn't allow you to do too much.

http://hepaestus.github.io/L5R_Character_Sheet/#/

does anyone have a good one? id prefer not to use a program because of how my GM is he won't ever deal with it.

We prefer google docs for things, like this handy GURPS one

Not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but I find the easiest way to do natural looking coastlines in inkarnate is to draw the landmasses as blobs with the add tool at 64-128, then use the subtract tool at 10-16 to weather it down.

This isn't a direct response to the prompt, but I find it funny when PHR Wasp Drones do work. The 3+ lock all the way down to light cruisers is nice for fishing a crit or two in close combat from ships that mostly throw fistfuls of 5+ dice.
>>
>>51436147
It seems like math wise the particle weapons will always be outperformed by standard weapons. The only exceptions is something with reinforced 3+ or shields. Since most ships don't have those it seems like they are never worth taking.

The only good one is the particle triad on teh battleship.

Traveller is a classic science fiction system first released in 1976. In its original release it was a general purpose SF system, but a setting was soon developed called The Third Imperium, based on classic space opera tropes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a slight noir tint.
Though it can support a wide range of game types, the classic campaign involves a group of retired veterans tooling around in a spaceship, taking whatever jobs they can find in a desperate bid to stay in business, a la Firefly or Cowboy Bebop.

I've never been able to run a successful game where the PC's explore the uncharted galaxy and meet unknown aliens, any tips?

The PC's kinda treat meeting unknown aliens as just another encounter, or they'll take the immediate offensive approach if the aliens show any aggression like they're conquistadors.
>>
>>51315859
If your players are of a conquering bent, maybe make it so that they don't have the firepower to take on any one species of alien in a fair-fight, but their advantage is such that if they manage to get some aliens on side they'll win?

Think the Spaniards allying with the Tlaxcalans to conquer the Aztecs
>>
>>51315859
I feel that you'd have to pitch the game right. You could totally run a "Spirit of Exploration" sort of thing but you would probably a) want to give the PCs a(n extra) reason to make peaceful contact and b) reward taking clever and peaceful approaches appropiatley

Am I in the right to be getting mad with my FLGS store owner over this situation? Thoughts, please:

3 weeks ago, I ordered a miniature through him (to support his business) from Games Workshop. Just a simple item, they have in stock, an HQ choice for my Aelves army.

Now the dude has a healthy GW community and a good relationship with GW, he gets weekly shipments from them of new and ordered product. So it's not like he has a hard time getting stuff from them. (He was bragging about moving 60k worth of GW product over a 6 month time period the other week).

So I place my order, was told it would take about 7-10 days to show up, I was ok with that (though I knew I could order from GW direct and get it in 3....again trying to keep HIS doors open).

2 weeks pass, and still nothing has shown up, I ask him about it. His response was "oh, uhh which model was it again?". I tell him, he says "Oh it hsould have shown up I don't know why it's not here, let me check with my rep". Another week passes, still nothing, I ask him again and the reply is "Oh uh....online orders take a 'long time'".....

On one hand....I love having a game store and want to keep their lights on

On the other hand, it's pretty obvious he forgot to order it, but still gladly took my money. I'll be luck if it gets here in time for the slow grow league I was using it for (next Saturday). And feel like a month to get a model, with no apology, no sense of urgency, or sense of trying to make things right, is ridiculous.

This is what drives people to Amazon/Ebay or ordering from GW direct. I checked today and if I placed the order through GW for the model I wanted, it would ship in 24 hours and be here within 3-5 business days......

Holy shit....just had to rant.

Well, certain distributors are legitly shit.

A lot of LGS owners I know basically spend half their day sighing and on verge of a breakdown due to distributor fuck ups.

I wouldn't be pissed. I would just ask for money back for services not rendered.
>>
Ask for a refund. Dont go out of your way to give money to flgs, its nice to support them but if theyre constant fuckups dont bother. You are the consumer, you look after yourself first, its your money.
>>
I generally tend to side with the business owner in these situations, but that's shit customer service no matter which way you slice it.

Get your money back for services not rendered, and depending on your relationship with the store owner, perhaps you can mention that you are unhappy, he's got one chance to rectify this otherwise you will order future models straight from GW.

Also, knights were unconnected to feudalism as a system. Feudalism means that one pyramid you always saw in high school.
