I liked the 3.5 Druid that let you put fast healing on your party in exchange for certain things.

Also the wildshape focus one where you could change into a limited number of creatures but could do it more often.

Starting off this thread with some bonus positivity. Tell us about some cute little tick, habit or foible your character has that wasn't important enough to mention in his backstory.

Yes. I used the Simple d6 System (3e) rather than say GURPS because I could tell my players were not up for the manuals upon manuals, and in the games, all the characters were fairly generalist with only slight specialization, so I did not want to encourage point buy minmaxing. The easiest distro to find is on 1d4chan. Link for the lazies: https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Simple_D6_-_Third_Edition

My friends and I had just been binge-watching Dirty Jobs, and inspired by that, the players made a clean-up and recovery / salvage crew named Star Beetle, as in Dung Beetle which was their mascot. The characters were:

Pat the Hippopatimus, the acrofatic muscle guy who mostly regulated himself to operating the cranes and exogear for pulling in salvage. He tried mercenary work a la Star Fox but found that the lack of work between major conflicts was terrible, and he always burned through all his money before the next big score because he could not into finances. So to hell with that, he was going to get an honest job clearing space of clutter and valuable components that really should not just be left in space.

The next characters were Boris the Boar who got geekboners over minerals and became the accountant because no one else knew how to money IC or OOC. He was recruited by Pat.

Next was Rocky the Raccoon who first proposed Nigger the Coon but switched immediately after he got Carlos-tier groans from us. He mostly regulated himself with navigating but put a skill in operating the equipment. Also recruited by Pat.

Paco the Possum was a stowaway who went exploring and then reflexively played dead when the ship's engine started. They found him later, and eventually they allowed him to stay because he was the only one who could cook more than just warming up protein bars. He jack-of-all-trades'ed his way through most stuff which added up to repairing and dismantle things a bit better than the others.

Honestly the stigma of furry shit that setting can lead too tends to deter people from it.

>>51115640
So with the motley crew assembled, they went to work. They hacked away at floating debris, shot down some scavengers, got into a brief scuffle over salvage rights... which got defused by Paco giving the other team real food because it turns out almost no space-fairer can cook anything that isn't ready after defrosting. They came to an equitable arrangement because the salvage was obviously way too big for either of their piddly ships to take everything.

Boris identified a broken module that at first looked like junk but had a valuable reagent in it which was worth quite a bit as a valuable ingredient. They sailed home, upgraded their scanners before anything else, and set out again.

They find another derelict vessel blown to pieces- something where there never seem to be enough people to clean up in the vastness of space- and tether their ship to it. After some searching, they find another salvage crew's ship. Their scanners were focused on tracking ships but terrible at anything else, so the players determined that they must just follow other crews around and poach. Peeved, the players started searching for their competition.

It was then that they found one of the other crew, a weasel dressed in red. They pointed guns at each other, and the weasel shouted at them to "Get out!" and various things along the same lines. Before things could come to blows though, an unknown, quick, and aggressive organism flies out of a rubbish heap and tries to wrap it's many legs around the Weasel. He shoots it, where it explodes and sprays something corrosive all over him which was potent enough to melt several misshapen holes through the poor bastard.

The players quite reasonably decided to nope right out of there, but they were cut off from either vessel by more enemies. They jumped a door with their emergency battery (something they bought a couple missions ago with the express purpose of giving doors and things enough juice to open up enough space for a crowbar.

Indubitably.

Yep.

Imagine a big scale tabletop game or video game of Barsoom
That would be fucking God tier
I really enjoyed the movie, it only flopped because dumb critics called it a rip off of Star Wars despite vice versa being the truth since Barsoom series was written long before Star Wars
Wish a sequel would happen

>>51114454
Didn't help that the movie had an incredibly bland title. I had no idea what it was until I saw a review for it after it had left theatres.
>>John Carter? What is this, a biography?

>>51114454
Modiphius is working on one right now. There's also a retroclone called Warriors of Mars, IIRC. Kind of a "what if D&D had been based on John Carter rather than Conan". There's the Revelations of Mars expansion for Hollow Earth Expedition, Space 1889, then there're a bunch of other games like Tales of the Space Princess or even Carcosa, in a sense. Amazing Warriors of Hyperborea, or whatever it's called. Technically, it's that, since it takes place on another planet (or maybe on a very, very far future Earth).

They're there if you look them up.

>>51114319

Planescape.

>>51114319
You'd have to have lore, and a setting worth roleplaying in to have an RPG.

>Military inventor
>Entertainment inventor
>Reverse-engineering expert
>Flight engineer
>Alchemist/chemist

Basically anything where you can imagine somebody going "I swear, this is going to revolutionize [INSERT FIELD]"

>>51114068
What do you mean by "Noir" because it seems like you're throwing that term around when you mean "Steampunk".

Bombs, all kinds of them with all kinds of variations.

Fog grenades on a fuse, shrapnel impact bombs that have to be thrown hard enough to trigger (maybe with an individually build launcher?), poison gas mines.

Or
poison gas grenades on a fuse, fog impact bombs and fog mines
etc.

The only limit is your imagination on how they should trigger and the material you can get for what effect they trigger with.

>>51113605
Could you create other magics with the First magic? Books of the Second - Fifth magics?

Fukken bandwagoners.

Given enough time to train and experiment you can replicate the effects through applied use of the first. Just not the fourth because intrinsic opposites don't mesh and to give some reason to choose something else.

>mfw I hear WHFB grognard talk about how much of a failure AoS is

>>51113705
>implying I would invest in GW

I'm not a GW hater, but there are way better returns on investment available.

>>51113880
I'd assume it comes mostly from 40k, paints and accessories before AoS.

Bump for interest. If you pull this off, it would be fantastic for Rogue Trader games

>>51113190
you sure those sector numbers are right

I am running a Space Marine Chapter simulation on /qst/, but the principle is similar, so yeah, I would like it to be transferable to other games. It would be ideal if we could get a drawfag or something.

>>51113427
You tell me. That's my guesstimate for what seems reasonable and still manageable for gameplay reasons, but I am open to criticism if you have a better suggestion regarding numbers/ proportion.

>>51112734
Not really an enchantment but you could make armor that has a boiler built in that releases steam for some type of close range damage and a mist that makes the user more evasive

Cool idea.

Definitely gonna consider it.

Some more info on the system:

It's a system that uses the Steam/Arcane energy to power runeplates, which are inscribed with Arcane Runes, that cause different magical effects.

You can mix/match Runeplates and even switch them out mid-day.

Frost runes and anything associated with Ice, slowng down movement speed, chip damage over time, etc

Holes for horns in a helmet.

>>51112560
With great difficulty.

>>51112560
Modify the helmet to accompany the horns

>>51112174
Honestly, for most groups it would be ideal. The GM just plays the part of the administrator and sends the team on missions. No roleplay, just throwing dice and killing stuff followed by upgrades and promotions.

>>51112174
BRP, especially since you can take the math from reboot XCOM or Xenonauts, your preference, and turn it straight into the skills and modifiers used. The only thing stopping XCOM from being a perfect 1-1 translation to a board game is the clusterfuck that is LOS.

>>51112174

Ah, terror missions. That blessed time you just go full psycho with grenades, rockets, heavy machineguns, and drag along the armored car or tank. They're gonna nuke the city if you fail, so even levelling every building is justifiable.

>>51112058
Yes.

>>51112058
Yes, god yes. You have no idea how bad it can get.

Specially if you're DM.

>>51111164
I'm sorry that good games aren't casual enough for you.
