Sup /tg/, I'm working on a mad science tabletop game, and I'm building it in FATE, because it seems like the most flexible option.
I have most of the world built, and I figured out how mad science works. It's at least partially a literal mental disorder.
Anyway, I really love the idea of temporarily going crazier for more insight and more power, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about crunching it out. Suggestions?
Stages of madness in the next post

Stage one, the research stage, or building steam. The Gifted is becoming obsessed with an idea, and has developed hyperfocus, but is not yet manic. Usually very brief, leading into
>>
Phase two, the creation phase, or full boil. This is where the magic happens. Things get done. People and items around the mad scientist are seen as tools at best, or spare parts at worst. Usually subsides when the project is completed and has been demonstrated to work, but can occasionally bleed into
>>
Phase three, redlining, or the destruction phase. This is a full on mad science induced battle rage. Anyone around can be minionized with some effort. Life means nothing. Not hers, not yours, and not the thirty orphans powering the machine. This state is physically dangerous to the Gifted, and has been known to cause unconsciousness, migranes, and even heart attacks and aneurysms in extreme cases. Strength and stamina increase as well as monomania, to the point where the Gifted can seem inhuman. Unsustainable. The Gifted has approximately fifteen minutes from entering this state until permanent damage sets in.

So, I'm making it. As inspired by http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/22907962/
The PCs are a bunch of Trollhunters, who must clear the civilized area of troll-related dangers. This implies killing trolls, luring bigger trolls back into the wildlands, or installing troll-repellent marks around the civilization borders (maybe something based on scent). They also must deliver mail to the further outposts and towns, which is dangerous because you have to cross many bridges, lakes and mountains, which use to attract trolls.
I need some help from you, though. To be clear, I want to use a tone that is realistic on the management (tracking down water, supplies, food, ammo, etc) but not so much in combat. The setting is more or less jrpg-esque: medieval but you can find some vapor ships, early guns and maybe even radios and telegraphs.
1. My great question is: How can I prevent the game from becoming stale? Is my premise good enough for sustaining a long campaign; beyond the first great troll kill?
2. Also, any good thing I can blend into the background?
3. Very important: Which kind of weaknesses and superpowers can I add to trolls? I'm not getting christianity on all this, so christian blood is not a thing. Which kind of trolls do you like?
Finally, if you were going to hunt trolls out on the tundra, what would you be sure to equip?

how do you feel about notetaking being an in-character action? of course meaning that illiterate characters are unable to take notes

No real reason to disallow it other than for RPG flavor. I'd feel bad though for a guy who got hit by a fireball or something and lost them all. You'd have to basically burn the sheets.
>>
>>50542788
Most games don't happen at real life time intervals, which makes taking notes kind of mandatory. Making it an in character action seems pointlessly clunky.
>>

>the illiterate can't take notes
what about mental notes and symbolic reminders? are you telling me that a barabarian raised by wolves amd never learned to read can't just make doodles or tie some strings around his fingers?

The mod who runs /tg/ and /qst/ is still disobeying Hiro's orders and deleting board discussion threads, but that's not surprising.
What do you feel are the biggest problems with moderation on /tg/? What would you like to see changed?

Tell me about post-apocalyptic fantasy, /tg/.
What are the basic tenets of the genre?
Are there any good system that use it?
Any good books, movies and/or games to steal from?
What can be done with it that can't be done with normal post-apocalyptic fiction?

Hi,
I don't usually come on /tg/, but this should be the correct place to ask my question.
I'm also not an expert on this stuff, so pardon me if this seems dumb.
I'm looking for a setting (if it has a system, even better). This setting should be both fantasy and futuristic/cyberpunk. Not necessarily steampunk, but if it's included no big deal. I'm talking about mixing elves and magic with guns and androids; alien races with classic fantasy monsters; technology together with tradition and old methods; towers and castle alongside futuristic citadels or modern houses; a little bit of Samurai Jack if you wish, hope you get the idea.
Is there such a thing? Never mind the system for now, the most important part is the setting itself at the moment

Just for discussion and maybe something nice can come out of it.
Let's say we mix:
-Arachnids from Starship troopers (book, first movies, tv show and cgi movies bugs)
-Zerg from StarCraft (old Zerg with overmind and Cerebrate but add the new stuff from SCII will pretend Kerrigan never happen)
-Xenomorphs from Aliens (going to keep comics out the rest is fair play, no Prometheus)
-Necromorphs from Dead Space (Till DS2 and movies)
-Tyranids (Fluff nids, including GSC and role playing nids)
How broken and OP would this?
How fucked would their respective universe be facing this new mix of cheat bugs?

Not very considering the biology of at least two of the creatures listed would completely fuck up the mix almost as much as the hive mind properties fighting for dominance.
>>
>>50542789
Book arachnids have conventional technology to deal with it.
And nukes to deal with everyone else.
>>
>>50541491
Arachnids and Xenomorphs are already part of the Tyranid bundle. For how much I love my Xenomorphs, a Genestealer is pretty much superior to a Drone or Warrior in every wayif we don't consider the absurd feat of resistence shown in Alien 3, but it's pretty inconsistent with what we see in the other movies.
I'm not sure combining Zergs and Tyranids would produce any noteworthy benefit over the Tyranids either. Necromorphs, on the other hand, have a whole different mechanism of propagation that might be a very nasty addition to this Overswarm.

Not really, it's a lot of hard work and danger.
Arguably being a vampire is comfier. You just sit around all day with the curtains drawn fapping if gothic and shitposting if modern all the while accruing compound interest.

What would it be like if a Space Marine Legion never met their primarch but kept growing as a 'vanilla' legion with no cultural or tactical changes?
Alternatively, what if their primarch was as vanilla as possible and didn't make any changes? Say he'd been servitored somehow.

Even Luna Wolves have some cultural influences though. It wasn't as edgy and pronounced as the Sons of Horus but they had some Cthonian influences and unique units popping up like pic related
>>
>>50541002
Thing is, even legions who weren't exposed to a primarch or home world's culture still developed their own methods. The dusk raiders had their own specific tactics before mortarion turned them into methhead iron warriors. Likewise, Alpha Legion had adopted their sneaky subterfuge style long before they ever met alpharius.
If you want vanilla legion though, your best bet will be imperial fists or ultras. Aside from their occasional fancy swordsmen, both are very much bolters and power armour, and their primarchs have the most vanilla loadouts.

>What are you hoping to get from Unearthed Arcana: Fighter?
A magic-using fighter who can actually use offensive magic without shooting themselves in the foot. Right now Eldritch Knight is best off ditching Intelligence and focusing on just abjuration, booming blade, and Haste whenever they can grab their any-school spell. Doesn't really fit the flavor of a magical-swordsman IMO.
Oh well... I guess we always have Bladelock (ugh) and Paladin for those niches.
