Yeah, all the time.

I used to make playlists for specific enemies and places, and while it's cool I don't feel like the time spent creating those playlists are worth the pay off. I'd rather plan more shit for the players to interact with.

However, I have like 5 playlists for scifi and the same for fantasy arranged in: General, Combat, Tension, Mystic and Horror. I'll usually play general and switch up to the other ones when appropriate.

Yes. Ambient music, drone music. Just some mood stuff.

You spend your hit points in a gamble to avoid losing your hitpoints.
It's a reactive system, the GM can't force an attack. Having the players roll to avoid damage etc makes all enemies feel irrelevant. Natural hazards, traps and opponents become too similar.

The setting itself is also quite boring compared to what it could be. It's a silly sandbox at best.

>all undead have that weakness anyways
Bony Tony would like a word with you.

That aside, I don't know, it sounds like a great idea, but you'd have to spend a couple months infiltrating the city's sewer system before you could make a golem of any real size.

You could hit up the local pig farm every night. Hell, I bet the farmers would pay you to get rid of their animal shit for them.

>>51048694
>Poop is dead tissue
That's a bit of a stretch, moreso even than a necromancer raising a golem out of hair or clipped nails. Generally speaking in most settings, it seems like most necromancers raise dead by targeting whatever counts as their "corpse", seemingly based on the criteria of what that particular dead creature would consider THEM if they were still alive (IE, what would house their "soul".)

In a non-substance-dualist setting, you could argue that a necromancer could cast raise dead on shit, but a substance-dualist setting is mutually exclusive with magic in general.

Don't know if you were in yesterday's cyberpunk thread, but there were a lot of suggestions there. I already made my own homebrew version of CP2020.

So d10 is my vote, I guess.

I'm actually working on a game that fits this brief at the moment. It'll have a magic system, but an optional one. I'm starting from Shadowrun (or rather, the more reasonable informally defined version of Shadowrun that I use in my campaign) and developing from there.

For a base mechanic, I'm still fond of Shadowrun's big pile of dice system. As I see it, you're doing a dystopian future setting, therefore you want a system where guns are lethal rather than dealing HP damage, therefore you want a bell curve for your probabilities so that a good situation results in low risk and a bad situation results in high risk, therefore you want to roll a lot of dice (a single d20 or d100 is much less consistent).

For base setting, it's important to realise that there is only one corporation with many names. There is only The Man, who owns everything. Names change, even CEOs change, but the status quo exists to enrich the rich and impoverish the poor. You might think that you have the choice to prefer Pepsi and Coke, but The Man wins regardless of which of those you choose. You never had the choice to prefer neither.

As for the tech, it like everything else should feed into the theme of "the rich-poor divide". The rich get the best health care, transport, protection, education. The poor do not. For cyberpunk, that means that the rich get implants that improve their ability to continue to out-compete the poor. The stuff the players get hold of is riddled with flaws. It requires maintenance or special nutritional supplements that the players do not have. It needs to connect to a network that the players do not have access to. It needs to be custom grown to match the host's biology, but it was stolen from a lab. You're not Adam Jensen, you're Molly Millions, and the tremors are bad today. Doctors aren't free, time to do a job and score some cash.

>Does anyone have any ideas for base mechanics? Roll and keep, successes, etc?

Honestly don't see anything wrong with basic d20 mechanics found in D&D or Pathfinder: ability scores, classes, ect. Just needs an entirely new set of classes, weapons, and equipment. Race could be thrown out entirely, or consist of just human and android/replicant/whatever you call an intelligent robot.

Hacker shouldn't be a class, but a skill, and one with realistic limitations. No quick-hacking robots mid-fight.

Add a system for bionic augmentations: getting them put in, what they can do, drawbacks, and how much they cost.

>And the base setting, do we want one mega Corp, three, or several?

Honestly never liked the idea of mega corps that much, though there is basis for that in reality it seems kind of oversimplified. If the real world is any implication the politics of the future are going to be dictated by governments, corporations, and criminal organizations from all over the world.

In other words, several mega corps with governments and mafias/cartels/yakuzas still playing significant roles.

>What kind of tech?
I'm a fan of near-future tech. Firearms still rule the day and most of the stuff available today is still in use, but newer models are introduced and the first clumsy laser weapons are just starting to hit the market. Energy weapons are big, expensive, and heavy though, usually mounted on vehicles that can support the power consumption. Coilguns are in a similar situation.

Bionic prosthesis are now commonly available and in the higher-end models actually better than organic limbs.

Robotics should basically be the shit you see in videos from Boston Dynamics, but refined to the point of it being very useful and commonly used. No mechas, but robots of some sort are used in construction, manufacturing, service industry, military, and private security applications. Pic related.

Depends. If your group is a bunch of poorfags like mine who aren't going to invest in FFG Dice, but you still want to play FFG Star Wars, free dice apps are pretty nice.

I really don't have much in my old /tg/ folder, its been a while

It's only common sense to believe in a god when it gives you super powers for doing so.

>>51042229
>HERF DERF GOD GIVES FOLLOWERS SUPERPOWERS
Shut the fuck up. even NPC commoners have a diety, why the fuck dont they get spells? even level zero onions spells? Clerics are a goddamn trash class that doesnt belong in an otherwise perfect game. Separation of Church and State was a good thing and clerics should be a subset state of a character not a fucking profession. Common sense shouldnt affect your spellcasting either clerics should be INT based.

I'm a maltheistic gnostic atheist secular satanist, and your level of fedora tipping is making me cringe.
Maybe you should re-evaluate the nature of role-playing games, because I think you might be missing something fundamentally important.

That gets me thinking. Has anyone's runner ever gotten knocked up? Did they keep it? What's child rearing and pregnancy like in general in the shadow community? Besides tremendously irresponsible and probably traumatic.

>What's the most creative use of a rock you've ever seen during a dungeon crawl?
It's hard to say, seeing as how rocks are usually used to solve all problems.
>If you were to make a setting based on rocks, how would you do it?
Obviously I would run a setting where weapons never developed past throwing rocks at each other. Everyone knows they are the strongest killing machines known to man. I mean a simple pebble can one shot a peasant about 10% of the time! And fist sized rocks are just better versions of daggers!.
