I googles detective riddles, yes/no riddles etc. The riddles resulted weren't the same principle as those in looking for

Pulling WoD out of 90s was a mistake.

Urban fantasy don't make sense anymore since we have smartphones, sadly.

Pretty sure Unknown Armies could cover that too.

Why not? It just requires a different set of assumptions and rules. That doesn't mean it ceases to work as a concept.

Maybe it doesn't really count as a faction, but I've always liked Inquisitor gear.

>first start with the omens, weird occurrences that are related to the threat but will likely be dismissed at first
>establish a dangerous area and two safe areas, the PCs should have a mission to travel between the two safe areas through the dangerous area (these can also be separated by time instead of space, 'survive til morning' for instance)
>as the players begin their journey start the countdown clock, it's up to you what causes it to progress but as it does the PCs will have to deal with escalating encounters, each one also revealing more information about the distant threat
>eventually the penny will drop and someone will realize what's going on, at this point you should also make them aware of the clock and how it works, where it's at, etc
>then it becomes a race, can the PCs reach the safe area without the clock finishing?
>if yes then great, but the threat is still out there and can be used for future adventures
>if no then they should face a winnable but extremely difficult (a couple of PC deaths difficult) fight

this is my general formula for horror, altered for D&D specifically

>>51487651
Use your players expectations and anticipations. Incorporate imagery and content that draws on their fears. Use the mechanics to their fullest, fluffy language is one thing, but when something mechanical happens to the character suddenly they're really going to get invested. Also less is more, let their imagination do most of the work for you.

A lot of the key to good horror is not having all the information, and what you do have not quite making full logical sense. Also, give the players a few skill checks (Perception, Insight, Arcana/Nature/Religion, whatever) that they were just plain never going to pass, and only give them vague answers as to what they think they might've just seen.

No.

Download the free GURPS Lite and run that first. Then dive into the Basic Set, and whatever books meet your gaming needs (which will naturally depend on your campaign.)

>>51486747
Yeah you can do a lot with the free pdf, and a lot more with basic set. Beware of people telling you that you need books x,y,z to run a setting... the guys on the SJ forums do this a lot. Most of the time splat-books are cool inspiration but not really necessary. Caveats to this exist, like if you really want modern gunplay then High Tech is good.

If you get into it, what I would highly recommend is the paid character builder app that they sell. It really makes playing with different character concepts a lot easier and quicker.

>>51486896

That said, i've been GMing GURPS for regularly for more than 6 years...some of my unsolicited opinions about various books:

Ultra Tech: Fun for mining ideas but a bit out of sync with later books because it was published so early in 4th ed. Be very selective about what equipment you allow from it, don't just allow everything at a given tech level.

High Tech: Good for modern action games; but if you just want guns there are some good free resources floating around.

Low Tech: I love all the tools and equipment sections from this...but I find the author's approach to armor to be too granular. Some people jizz at the thought of individually tailoring suits of armor with flanges and coifs and shit; I am not one of those people. You have to manually work out how much they weigh and cost and remember a bunch of extra rules, but if you are a medieval scholar or military history nerd it is cool. You can find pdf's of suits of armor that people have created using this system online, that's good enough for me. I have used it for stats for low tech black-powder weapons, which are cool.

Martial Arts: Possibly the worst cover art of 4th edition? I don't really care about the styles...there are some fun new rules and if you want to make combat more granular then go for it. A good weapon list for a low tech game.

Magic: I really dislike the base magic system and don't use it, and so this is a pretty useless book for me.

Thaumatology: If you have the idea of making your own magic system, or copying the system from another RPG this is a great book. One of my favourite books, really like it.

Anyone got good sci-fi horror creatures?

>>51486029
New kroot and other alien units units when?

2nd for Night Lords

First for Curzefag did nothing wrong.

Why don't you raise your concerns to your group and discuss the issue?

>hey guys, this isn't working out how I'd like, I'd be interested in a lower power campaign where we talk about themes and make characters together so there's more cohesion.

talk to them you dipshit

You probably shouldn't be GMing.

Warlock who ended up going to the great old ones plane at the end. All I can remember.

What mapping tools are people using? Mainly looking for dungeon scale stuff, but world mapping utilities are welcome too.

Anyone with experience playing a Lawful Evil Paladin (Oath of Vengeance)?

I want to justify flying into the air and letting my mount fall to its death on top of people, and being a wrathful and mean guy in general.
