It's Dada surrealism, it's also a videogame RPG with stats and stuff, which is free to try.
It actually has a coherent story line and characters, interdenominational nomad fleeing from cultural degeneration, talking omnicidal buddihst gun, keyheaded factory working woman gone militant suffragette and a sentient mouth looking for redemption, to name a few of the main characters.

>>50772160
That is indeed correct Trooper. Why they would ever wish to do such a thing however, is absolutely beyond me.

Legends of the Wulin has fantastic combat which works very well for PvP.

Characters have a lot of options and engaging in a fight requires a lot more thought than most RPGs, while its system for the consequences of battle also leaves a lot of room for results other than one person straight up dying.

One of my defining memories of a LotW game was a PvP duel with another player. Our characters had never really seen eye to eye and over time tensions grew until they had a duel. The battle itself was really fun, pitting our characters against each other, figuring out the others weaknesses while trying to capitalise on our strengths, as well as making use of some of the systems more esoteric mechanics where your characters beliefs, ideals and emotions can have a real effect on the fight.

I honestly can't remember who won, because by the end of the fight it didn't matter- The characters had come to understand one another through the clash of blades, gaining a newfound respect and sense of camaraderie. And the system supported this, letting us both choose to make the result of the battle a mutual buff, giving extra impact to the mutual understanding gained from the duel.

That sounds awesome. I'll make sure to check it out, thanks!

Word of warning, the core book for the system is fucking awful. The editing and layout job is one of the worst I've seen in a published RPG, which makes actually understanding and making use of the system a real bitch. It also has a few core imbalance problems that aren't too bad but still need tweaking to make everything run smoothly.

3.5 was the right system in the right place at the right time. It caught the early wave of the internet explosion and reached lots of audiences who had never experienced TTRPGs before, many of whom still have yet to be exposed to any other games.

This created an oddly insular culture where the 3.PF way of doing things is the only way they know, and any diverge from it makes them uncomfortable and defensive. A /tg/ meme is '3.PF cause brain damage', and while I think it's something of an overstatement I do think that people whose only experience in 3.PF do develop a certain warped set of expectations as to what RPGs are meant to be that don't do them any favours in the wider community.

It's also why you see attempts to shove D&D mechanics into every fucking setting regardless of how appropriate they are. Like the stupid fucking Starfinder thing Paizo are doing at the moment. The 3.5 OGL should be enough evidence that d20 mechanics do not fucking work outside their comfort zone.

>The 3.5 OGL should be enough evidence that d20 mechanics do not fucking work outside their comfort zone.
Or even within their comfort zone.

>>50772101

They can work, it just requires a lot of fiddling. Ignoring most core materials for better designed third party stuff and restricting the game to tier 3/4 classes can let you run an actually mechanically okay game of 3.PF, although it's still a bitch for the GM to make encounter design work since the busted as fuck CR system is no help at all.

>>50771868
Go with Unknown Armies or Dresden Files instead.

>>50771868
Well, if you want something by WoTC I will direct you to a handful of articles and an Unearthed Arcana Article from 5th Edition.
http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/my-new-d20-modern-campaign WoTC's Dan Helmick's article on some added things needed to use 5E in modern settings beyond what's listed in the DMG.

http://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/UA_ModernMagic.pdf The Unearthed Arcana called Modern Magic

And I think besides one or two classes, the thing that's really missing is Backgrounds with modern settings considered in design. Not so hard to whip up all things considered as adapting occupations from Modern and Urban Arcana.

Why not just keep playing d20 Modern? I still do. The Agents of PSI setting from the core book is one of my favorite settings. Yeah, it's bland and there's not much there to work with, but it seems to just rub me the right way.

>>50771855
How large is the area it wonders? Do the local peoples know of its existence and for how long have they known of it?

>>50771970
If it's bumbling about at 5mph, 24/7, that's a range of over a hundred miles per day. But let's say it's not going in a straight line, and it's covering some sort of circuit.

If the colossus spent about a week completing this circuit, its 'territory' would be over 200 miles across. Slowing it down to 3 or 4mph (walking pace for a normal human) would still result in a massive territory. And if it's making these circuits once a week, and especially if the circuit 'wobbles' north or south depending on the season, there's going to be a LOT of locals who can potentially know about it.

>>50771855
I think we had that thread a couple times.

THe only example I can find in the archives :
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/25063638/

But I remember a thread talking about mating rituals and how the people on female titans had to pillage the cities on the male ones in order not to be destroyed everytime their titan had sex.

Not sure OP, a lot of games fail to capture the sex of BFg.

Just keep playing BFG op.

Tons of rules expansions/fixes are online, just do a quick google search.

Not sure what to do about the models though.

I enjoy Firestorm Armada. It's a slightly faster game with an edge of beer and pretzels, but it's a good laugh and the way ships move does give it a slower pace and flow than most wargames.

Alternatively you could try out the BFG vidya, apparently it's pretty damn good.

>Also, what do you properly call pre-Saxon Britain?

Real nigga autists call that "Brythonic"

As for what it might look like, the Welsh are a Brythonic people that still speak a Brythonic language, so ancient Wales/Welsh is a good fit

>>50772117

pretty sure helmets and shields like that were purely decorative and not meant to be used

You could say Gaels, but that might just be for Ireland specifically. Brythonic might be better for Britain specifically, but for the whole British Isles? I'd honestly say Celtic.

At least here in Ireland, we just say Celts and Irish interchangeably, and the language is an Insular Celtic language, Irish Gaelic (or just Irish) with Scottish Gaelic being its sister Insular language. Welsh and all the rest are Brythonic, I believe. I'm really no historian, but this is just stuff I've been told/read.

Nice bump you fucking faggot.

>>50770487
hate that art.

Do dark eldar die when they are killed?
What happens to their souls? The dont use spirit stones right? And why

>>50770531
If they have some kind of deal with a haemonculi they can be revived.
They cut off a part of them and keep it alive like a lich phylactery and in the case of their death they grow it in to a new body.

Only the rich Deldar can afford it so the regular warriors and slaves are just fucked when they die.

They're both fine with prior, fully informed consent, so who cares?

>>50770061
I don't think that's what those spells are for.

Also I'm going to say charm person. Dignity>Privacy but only just barely.

>>50770052
One violates free will while the other violates privacy.

By most societies the former is worse.
