It's ok, but you need players on board.

Just try it out if you're not sure. If you don't like it, you don't have to commit. Although in a different way, it's like GURPS in that you need a certain of kind of GMing. But you can do all kinds of games with it that you normally wouldn't be able to do well, like shonen stuff.

Also, Fate Accelerated Edition is something I've even been able to teach to and run with children, so I can confirm that's good. And it even has a pocket mod edition.

What exactly seems weird about it?
I find it merely unconventional and not even in a counter-intuitive way.

People die when they are killed.

First, this definitely happened and not at all an excuse to post catgirls and/or -4STR

Second, go adventuring. Either (s)he gets swole enough to take on the party seriously or will die trying.

Grab a finesse weapon?

Why would any member of a race of barbarians capable of completing a rite of adulthood have 8 strength?

>>50535654
I know it's more /v/idya, but DS3 could have been so good, it would only have taken a little tweaking to story and keeping the combat mechanics of DS2. I think the potential is what made it all the worse.

alright here we go again will you be continuing your story Jukebox?

Some other weird tech from the Dead Space setting that might result in some fun hijinks in Mass Effect.

Already mentioned the biggest deal with Shock Point drives not needing Relays for their navigation and propulsion through the cosmos.

Would be funny to see the pre-Issac incursion Andromeda colonization mega vessels roll in 100 years later to already find that galaxy seeded with Shock Pointer prospectors merrily cracking planets with their nightmare ribcage cruisers.

Gravity Plates/Generators would be an interesting power drain but not need Element Zero to attain the same effect.

Stasis fields fall into the same category of localized manipulation of gravity without the need for Eezo. Might provide a nasty surprise for Biotics.

The recycling fabricators of the shop kiosks on Dead Space vessels. At least by Issac's time they could pulp a variety of precious metals into a space suit, ammo or medigel with no problem.

The interconnected nature of the RIG system and the casual cybernetics use by DS citizenry. If memory serves Elle even had her screwdrivered eye replaced by DS3. As compred to the Syd Mead clean lines futurism of Mass Effect.

Also I really want to see how much OUCH a DS stasis field puts on a living being vs the relatively gentle space magic of a biotic's Eezo field.

Have you tried the cultural revolution splatbook?

>>50588735

elbows must be on the table. Honestly that rule does wonders for me. you just lean over and set your elbows on the table all casual like like your leaning in to deal, and then you start tossing people cards. They never get it the first time.

>>50588735
I identify as fae so my Mao buddies have a set of rules for that.

We also allow putting poker hands onto the pile to speed things along.

Do you live near a Trader Joes?

If so, you're fucking set. Sea salt brownies, pirate booty and ready-to-eat edamame are staples, plus seasonal/occasional shit like mochi puffs and leibkuchen.

>>50588881
Depends on the setting. Could be a semi - sentient being that knows how to use basic tools, like a Gorilla.

How about this?

>>50586738
Honestly I've always wondered reading the epic retelling of campaigns through greentexts on /tg/ what other people's sessions are really like. Dunno, but it never feels like the ones I play quite live up.

I remember a classic /tg/ thread about this. I hope somebody's got the screencap.

Naturally, new thread just before I post this.
New EC list in progress using the Rapture Battalion. Chaos Lord is the warlord and has the drug artefact. The allied CSM are Crimson Slaughter, so to be a legal allied detachment. Vindi has the Perdus Rift anomaly bringing the current total to 1705.
This list has everything I want except enough points-- doesn't have a full Kakophoni, full Linebreaker squad, or as much psychic support as I'd like. And with only 145 points left all I can really do is add another respectable sorcerer (and give the other one a spell senpai).
Thoughts?

Buy more powerful units.
Set up your units so that the pawns don't start off blocking your offense.
Abolish monarchy.
Give your soldiers some basic combat training. Your pawns in particular seem to reach the end of their stamina way too early as their movement rate halves before they have even begun approaching the enemy.
Build proper foundations for your towers. Don't allow them to slide off. Then put your command INSIDE (or on top of) the tower rather than next to it.
Attack the enemy as soon as you have set up your half of the field. Don't wait for the enemy to mobilize.

If all else fails:
Try diplomacy.

I heard pissing on the board works

Study strategy until you realize you need better tactics, then study tactics until you realize you need better strategy. Then study both.

Be careful OP, if your DM doesn't handle this properly your game is in immediate danger of evolving out of the 1980's.

right now nobody's put forth ideas on what they want to be. i'm still looking through the monster manual for an idea

I tried to play one but it died after the first session and it was years ago. I remember I was a Phanpy.

GM adapted PTA rules, but it went weird. That's all I recall.

>>50585074

>What'cha playing?
Grixis Delver at the moment, would be playing Control subbing Ancestrals for Vendilion Clique, Murderous Cut and 2x Pia and Kiran Nalaar but funds are a little low right now and I don't think I can get away with only 3 snaps and 2 kommands and no spirebluffs.

Hopefully, I haven't been able to in a long time thanks to uni and the like

>Tron and Merfolk

Nothing shrifles my dick like Merfolk. Literally the only deck I have absolutely no fun playing against.

>>50585336
People who don't play merfolk always feel this way. To you it's just brain dead aggro right? You have no business losing to it and god forbid it takes a competent pilot

>>50584185
Hmm- It's just different things. I'm an unapologetic writefag, and I gm.
I'd say gm'ing is a little like the pleasure I get from writing, mixed with a little powertripping and a little bit of wonder at seeing other people explore something I made.

Playing ttrps is more like reading a book, or playing a boardgame. A fun social activity, that allows you to get creative and be immersed in a story.

>>50584185
I like playing because I enjoy both sides of the screen and one requires less work

Playing is a different type of fun from running a game
