Traveller is a classic science fiction system first released in 1976. In its original release it was a general purpose SF system, but a setting was soon developed called The Third Imperium, based on classic space opera tropes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a slight noir tint.
Though it can support a wide range of game types, the classic campaign involves a group of retired veterans tooling around in a spaceship, taking whatever jobs they can find in a desperate bid to stay in business, a la Firefly or Cowboy Bebop.

This game is so fucking cool & I have no idea how anybody plays it.
This is the raddest. I wish i knew people who were interested in scifi so i could play.
So, I'm running several campaigns where I'm teaching new players how to play D&D, and I've noticed that a solid two thirds of the players first characters are elves or half elves. I was lamenting all these elf fags like a loyal neckbeard, when I realized my first character was an elf too.
Perplexed, I asked my brother, and HIS first character was a half elf as well.
So, what is it with new players and elves?
>I was lamenting all these elf fags like a loyal neckbeard
Yep, surely not a bait thread that uses elves as premise. Didn't have these in a while.
>>50748028
Not sure.
My first character was a dwarf.
>>50748105
you are a pathetic and miserable shit.

You and i probably shouldn't have replied and prolonged this thread's existence.
Since every other faction is basically irrelevant, who's going to win, Tyranids or Chaos?
Could the Nids defeat Chaos?
>>50747879
Necrons could easily beat both of them.
>>50747879
>who's going to win, Tyranids or Chaos?
Necrons.

I hope have about eight hours to spare.

Looking for cyberpunk at the moment
Tiamat vs Lofwyr
Tiamat has all the benefits of a lesser deity
Lowfyr has the pull and influence of Saeder-Krupp
Who wins?
>>50735798
Doesn't Tiamat always win these 'dragon offs'?
Some sort of dominion over dragons something. You know.
>>50735798
Lowfyr. After he steals dragon killing tech from the Azzies, nothing will be safe from his commercial interests.

I just put sleeves on my Munchkin cards and now the expansion won't fit in it's box. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do when your game won't fit in it's box with sleeves on the cards?
>>50729985
Is there extra sleeve above the cards? If so you could try and cut that off with scissors

How would you justify a BBEG dressing like this?
>shitty "BBEG" thread
Again?
No particular reason. Fashion isn't always rational.
I wont
I will be honest and say "the BBEG is a scantily hot chick, because that is cool"
we all know the samurai, knight, hoplite/legionarre and viking.
but what are some other nation-specific warriors? what is their name, gear and timeline
>>50722569
Well, you just posted a winged hussar, so there's that
>>50722569

I'm deeply disturbed by your apparent assertion these are even comparable military units.

anyone know any good mystical creatures to be a princess?
>>50672752
people from Vermont
Stat this for 40k.
>>50769459
I want this for my chaos space marines army.
>>50769487
agreed, I'd happily convert my massive army of smurfs into chaotic smurfs for the chance to pick this bad boy up.
>>50769459
looks like a custom defiler. probably fast and very tough, a real tank
I got a whole bunch of Rage cards for $10. It seemed like one of the better games from the mid-90s CCG glut and I've always been curious. I've put together three decks with some guidance from online rulebooks and guides but haven't really gotten to play a game yet.
Anyone here play Rage before or even currently? What's the general opinion on it?
>>50767936
I remember liking that game back in the day, but then again I'm a filthy furry.
>>50767936
The fact that the fans have taken it on and are keeping it alive with new content sounds fantastic in theory, but the results are just embarrassing.
Nobody has any war stories to share?
Would a RPG based off of the Wolfenstien games work? And if it does, what system should I use?
(Pic Unrelated)
>>50766712
Yes; I would suggest either something realistic, like Ops and Tactics, or something rules-light that allows you to script a movie. You're basically asking for a system where you can shoot a bunch of dudes in a flashy way.
>>50767075
Ops and Tactics .pdf?
>>50766712
Probably mainline World of Darkness or one of its Hunter games.
Can someone recommend me a good fantasy skirmish game that is like Confrontation?
>>50766693
Try asking /awg/, they might guide you better. >>50749807
My goto fantasy skirmish is Song of Blades and Heroes, but it may not be what you are looking for, as SoBaH is very simplistic, but very flexible.
>>50767361
I will look at that then. How are the figures?
>>50767424
SoBaH really has no figures. It's one of those systems where you can use whatever figures, and you create their stats yourself. I like it because I can use the minis I have and get into some narrative scenarios. The books are cheap on amazon or their homepage. Here is an older version PDF, but it gives you an idea how the game plays. Again it's very simple, but it works for fantasy and with small skirmishers. It's a pretty fast and fun little game.
If Space Marines and other races had stats that looked more like their book portrayed them, what would they be? You can go higher than T7 and AV14. And saves on a d8, d10, etc
Tactical Marine: WS6 BS6 S5 T5 W2 I5 A3 LD11 SV3+ (on a d8)
It really varies by book and by the bias of the author. In the Tau Codex they shred through space marines with their plasma weapons with ease, but in most SM-centered books the average marines is far more difficult to kill.
>>50766643
The obvious solution is to autistically stat each unit book by book, then average each statblock together, resulting in the one true statblock for each faction.
I'm trying to decide whether this is something that /tg/ would realistically do or not.
>>50766676
Well I think just as it is on tabletop you'd just base it all around the stats of a tactical marine (who's new stats would have to be agreed on). Probably need to have higher value limits too.
