Dice.

Either he attacks with giant dice, or he rolls a pair of dice himself and you take psychic damage equivalent to whatever he rolled.

>>50960854
Make everything RNG based. Everything.

>>50960854

Include metamechanics.

As in: "Hand over your character sheet.", make some changes(Make sure it's reversible). Don't mention what you changed. If they catch it great, if they don't, SHOVE IT IN THEIR FACES AND TELL THEM THEY CAN'T DO IT LIKE THAT DM.

Have an attack where the antagonist literally scolds the PCs for not doing what they're SUPPOSED to be doing.

Put them on a railroad.

Have its ultimate attack be rocks falling, and everyone dying.

Have its weakness lie in the fact that IT IS VERY SLOPPY WITH KEEPING ITS NOTES FOR THIS ENCOUNTER SECRET.

Nobody's gonna play you if you play unbound.

>>50960742
Its for friendly games with friends. Only reason I'm asking is we like to avoid messing around with the rules when we can help it

Definitely the second. Make it where the PCs are Mages whose Stands are based on legendary heroes.

Tell the PCs all their powers [system?] have to be based on the legend of the hero they pick, NOT a straight rip-off of a Fate hero [for instance if they choose Gilgamesh it can't be 'that' Gilgamesh, they have to OC that shit], and also should have some degree of Jojo-inspired weirdness.

The latter for sure. The former is just a generic battle royale thing with stands, but the latter manages to incorporate the most interesting bits of both.

>>50959106
>>50959169

Oh thank god someone replied I really wanted to talk about this

Yes, part of the appeal to JoJo is the weird and highly circumstantial powers. I was just wondering if it would be better to do Fate/Stay with JoJo stands, or JoJo with Fate/Stay heroic spirits

I like your idea though. Characters stands are BASED off of legendary heroes, like a template. But their powers are half based on the 'source material', and half based on the user itself. Like they're drawing on the platonic ideal of King Arthur, or the archetype, rather than summoning King Arthur himself. Come to think of it this is a far better explanation for King Arthur being a little girl than Fate/Stay got... But I digress

help me think of examples

>How would you run a Danganronpa game?
I wouldn't.
Also in general mistery games are a bitch.
Everyone except one player has to go out of the room all the time and even when only one character does something that in retrospect might intercept with someone elses action route it all collapses.

>>50958661
Might still work online - just use private chats with the GM, deal with them separately and such.

Funny you should ask, I've been roped into a upcoming game based on this series. I generally shy away from weebstuff and I know next to nothing about the games (although the rest of the group have been explaining a few things) but it's the first opportunity for me to not be the forever-GM in several years so fuck it, I don't give a shit anymore. At least I'll get make fun of anime clichés, hopefully.

GM told everyone to make two characters so if one dies they won't immediately be dropped from the game and still be able to participate. I ended up making a heavy metal guitarist chick and a british surgeon. Currently waiting for the rest of the group to finish their characters (only waiting on two people IIRC).

One thing that does concern me is that the GM did refer to the latter as a "beacon of hope". Now I mentioned earlier that I don't know much about this series but between the rest of the people in the group I've figured that the whole hope/despair theme seems to be a pretty strong gimmick. On a scale from 1 to panic, how worried should I be?

I miss Decu.

Yes, but it is very easy for me to get Realm'd, since my biggest fetishes are romance, pregnancy, older women/younger men, and transformation including emotional. Yes, I've somehow managed to fetishize character development. No, I don't know how it happened.

>>50958775
>I've somehow managed to fetishize character development.
I wish this was a more common fetish.
So I'd actually see some fucking character development in games.

>>50958023
>Or am I overlooking something?
there's unit markings and (depending on the chapter) variant colour schemes, but mechanically speaking you're not overlooking anything

Sure you could take devs with bolters, but seems like a waste. Look at top tier netlists, tip: they have devastators with 2 grav cannons in a rhino.

Lorewise, in many chapters you have to go through several roles before you become a tactical marine: scout, devastator, assault marine, etc. Tactical marines are the experienced dudes who have already been devastators and so on.

>>50958023
The only real difference between Tacticals and Devastators is the Devastators can take more heavy weapons options and don't count as Troop choices, IIRC the sergeant also gets some specific wargear that normal Tacticals can't take.

So yes, you can just make a Dev squad out of 5 Tacticals.

well you'd need stats for things like the speed you're going at, radius of the drift, level of control during, and impressiveness to an observer

then you'd throw the PCs into a car chase/race scenario and every time they corner make them roll depending on those stats. The various results would then determine how successful the drift was and you'd keep going like that until there was a clear victor in the chase/race

The same way you write any other game, just replace the "dungeons" with "racetracks", make every "battle" or "enemy" a "curve", and rename all the stats from things like "strength" and "agility" to "horsepower" and "acceleration".

First for the FOUR-ARMED-EMPEROR

So, even if End Times isn't happening, it still seems like they're trying to set up an everyone vs. Chaos theme, and are continually pushing Chaos as completely beyond the other apocalypse factions (Orkz, Tyranids and Necrons).

How does everyone feel about this? I'm personally not particularly optimistic about what GW's going to do with the setting now.

Has the new thousand sons shite come out?

When using flight, PCs have pre-drawn geometrical curves they have to follow.

Certain throwing weapons (ie - splash grenades) have a coating that make them bounce on walls. Sticky coating has been more popular so far.

>>50957799
My character has the Ricochet Shot Deed, so they indeed do use simple geometry.

Jumpers! Have you ever died?

>>50957161
I personally think that you should make EX a thing like where you could possibility of createing a functioning prototype to a Magic, with generations of research and such, but that you have yet to attain it. But If I had to chose I'd go with the silliness of the first option with the statement "Your magecraft is almost on the level of Magic" taken to A+++. So, something like the first with a bit of the third options, Valeria.

Something like Utilitarianism would probably say this is okay, but give me the views of "normal" people.

In a setting where hell is real, is it morally wrong to eat/absorb/burn for fuel/whatever souls that would have otherwise gone to hell, provided that the suffering you cause them to experience is less than what they would have otherwise experienced in hell?

>>50956863
Oh, but you ARE npc. Most people wouldn't even be the main character in a movie about their own lives.

Why? Wouldn't, say, GURPS be way easier base?

I feel like 5e plays really well and smoothly at the table, and have had no good experiences with gurps. Just piles of recursive tables, and taking five minutes to resolve fairly simple actions, attacks and checks.

I feel that 5e dnd is simple and elegant, and easy to teach to newer players, and I wanted a sci-fi rpg like that.

>>50956901
That doesn't change that D&D 5e is completely unsuitable for anything that isn't D&D.

How about Fate instead? Or Savage Worlds?

Also I don't know if archtype and subclass are the same thing. Either way I wouldn't know what to go with.

I wasn't aware that rangers were an extremely weak class. I assume with this revision rangers are pretty damn strong?

>>50956507
We are not to choose that, it's up to you.

If you happen to be a fucking faggot then you should switch to tau.

Those two first answers pretty much answer that question 100%

Generally >>50956558 , but most people will think >>50956573 if you do.
