The Prince Valiant RPG. Duh.

>>50528030
I've heard of that, but isn't it quite old?

Is it any good?

>>50528038
I haven't read it very closely, but it seems to be based around telling a cooperative story, with occasional coin-throwing (d2 dice pool) to determine success or failure.

There are other options, such as Pendragon.

Anyone played the cosmic BBEG yet?
its insane.

>ask away. Just finished a 5 month campaign using the system.

So how does it work for Gundam?

I want to pick up the system for a oneshot to a group of beginner friends who are really into superhero stuff and thought of a setup like so for the first session
>give each a character sheet with some decent street-level archetypes (brawler impervious to bullets, utility belt martial, guy capable of manipulating shadows, some small-time sorcerer)
>ask each of them to flesh out their powers; who is the guy, for instance, playing the brawler? A highly successful underground ring boxer? Just a guy who moves furniture? Is the shadow-guy a former thief-turned-hero or an eccentric guy who owns a horror circus?)
>pick out one guy who has a significant other or just a loved one in the backstory
>start off with a note on a plate of cookies saying "I went to X with Sharon, see you soon, xoxo"
>put on a pre-recorded radio broadcast
>the place X is currently raided by a villain
>he calls his local superfriends on phone
>there goes the introduction

Never ran supers before, but I want to get into it. Possibilities seem endless.

Doing a gundam style game is hard when building, but easy to play.

>first
Decide how powerful you want the mecha to be because the mecha and pilots will have 2 seperate powerlevels. The ideal is to have the mecha be PL10 and the Pilot be PL6.
>second
The mechanics of fighting are very different. Every modifier for the mecha is based on the pilots skill stats. this means the mecha can't do anything by itself.
>third
Things like fatigue and exhaustion are replaced by stress. the more stressed the mecha is the less it functions well. If you stress it once thats a -2 to all future checks if you stress it again its a -5 to all future checks. stress can only be removed with downtime. Damage is similiar, but in the case of damage if the mecha is hit with a third degree it suffers a -5 to all future checks until the end of combat. 4 degrees will shut it down completely.
>fourth
Certain powers are gone and not allowed to be used such as immortality, teleport, super speed, and healing. Immunity can still be used, but only for a single descriptor. it represents a mecha's type. Mind control is no-longer a will resisted power and is treated like hacking. the effects are the same. Advantages are different too. The assesment advantage is now a technology check and yields information on the opposed mecha. DC10 you see its defense, DC15 you see defense and type, DC20 you see it's defense, type, and camera mount, DC25 you see defense, type, camera mount, and vunerlable spot. To represent vunerable spots being spotted the spotter gets a +5 to damage bonus and if the tell a friend the friend gets +2 damage bonus.
>fifth
Size of the mecha effects it movement speed. the size rank dictates the speed they move. so a size rank 4 mecha moves at speed 4. Other movement options such as flight, swimming, and leaping are used as normal from the core rulebook.

Any special functions the mecha has are treated as a technological version from the rulebook.

Black people should stop doing cultural appropriation.

Seems like a wasted opportunity. I want to see more fantasy settings based on non-european cultures. Give me a fantasy Africa full of unique creatures, powers and legends. I'd love to see and play that.

(The skin colour this is completely irrelevant, btw)

>your fantasy is wrong!

If you're okay with a very crunchy game with d20 based combat, Pokemon Tabletop United (PTU for short) might work for you.
It and its supplements have extensive rules for trainers directly involved in combat, working from scifi to fantasy settings.
Also it is mechanicaly very close to the video games, basicly just reducing and simplifying math to 3.PF levels. Ig you've done any competetive pokemon you'll be very familiar with what strategies work or not.
Its a solid game but needs a fuckton of GM prepwork to run smoothly.

>>50527035
I'd use Strike!

It's tactical system is very gamey, which gels well with the pokemon aesthetic imo. There's also an optional elemental RPS system in place, and it's refluff-friendly (more like fluff required...-y).

It's very light on stats however, so if you want to go for that aspect as well, it's a lot less fitting.

>>50528092

No, it's total trash.

>>50528155

Actual good suggestion.

Dang.

There was this image somewhere showing all the KD models ever that are not included in Satan pledge, does anyone have the link to it?

Rules question:

With the family innovation, new born survivors get weapon experience from a parent. Can they fain more points prior to hitting age 1 ? Can they swap to another weapon type and start gaining xp like an age 1 survivor normally would ?

>>50526632
Although it does not make sense to me why they would use pressgangs for such a holy ship i would have expected those engines would get more respect.

>>50526632
I believe that the title is a reference to the classic Barsoom books.

>>50526632
>not auctualy set on mars
priests OF mars
they're just from there, or rather it's the center of their religion kind of like the Vatican is for catholics

I know the setting in a passable way but do tell me how the book reads(if the thread is around to read later) it might be something to pick up next time I'm in a bookstore

>>50526806
the ships are so large that finding that many religious acolytes would clean out the priesthood.

in 40K all the ships are holy because most of them are centuries if not millennia old. and new ships are rare and expensive.

and the larger or more complicated the machine the more reverence the tech-priests hold for it

Can someone explain to me why my BS7 Archon NEVER EVER FUCKING HITS ANYTHING WITH HIS GUN!?

>>50526626
Confirmation bias.

Reposting because the last thing the general needs is more CSM players that get hype, build a shit list, and turn into bitter grognards like me.

>>50526114
Taking Daemonic Possession on Rhinos is retarded, especially if you aren't going full retard and putting Havoc Launchers on them. Daemonic Possession fails to keep you moving 16.67% of the time, and eats one of your 30 point Possessed 16.67% of the time. Extra Armor always keeps your battle wagon rolling forwards, never eats your dudes, and is cheaper to boot.

Dozer Blades are an unnecessary luxury. Your dudes are going to be hopping out turn 1 most of the time anyways.

Try to work in some Sorcerers. They add extra punch to the Cultists squads, and Shrouding or Invisibility turns Cultists from expendable bullet catchers into really hard to kill expendable bullet catchers.

>>50526002
It's a 2000 point list containing the two best FMC's in the game. Of course it's viable. Is this a meme?

>>50525693
Drop both Exalted's down to regular Sorcerers. Exalted is only worth it if you're building a melee beatstick to accompany some Spawn or flying Scarab Occult. The Silver Tower blast isn't worth 60 points.

Get the Rubrics a Rhino. Keeps them alive a little longer, might help them get into a better position.

Deep striking the Terminators is an awful idea. You don't have enough boots on the ground as is, you can't afford to keep half your infantry in reserves. Especially not when you have no way to reroll the reserves roll or mitigate scatter. Heavy Warpflamer isn't worth it. Grab the Hellfyre for hunting tanks.

You need more bodies. Tzaangor Warherd works, or ally in some daemons, or ally in some other CSM, or ally in some Renegades and Heretics.

What is an acceptable level for new players to have ocean or beach adventures and survive? Assume they'll be fighting mostly Sahaugin, but the PCs have PoW and psionics.

>>50526513
Because no one wants to learn Anima.

>>50526513
>If you guys hate Pathfinder, want to move on to better systems, and play Pathfinder only because it's what everyone around you plays,

What a way to start off with a false premise. It has flaws, but acknowledging them doesn't mean you hate it. And sometimes as much as you'd like to play a good old dust 514 inspired version of Rogue Trader, people just aren't as into it as you are, so you make a compromise.

Also, please be careful with how degenerate your OP's are.

>>50526573
>Because no one wants to learn Anima.
Son, i've played Anima, and I'll tell you right now, it has balance issues way fucking worse than Pathfinder

In a land far away lies a world called Terra. After many wars the several braches of civilizations unionized and formed the mightiest civilization it ever known Retogar. Under the leadership of its king, was rich in its technology advances however; it kept a majority of its citizens starved, undereducated and in tight housing. As the king saw fit, they abandoned its people to the wasteland much of Terra was inhabitable due to the many previous wars of destruction and therefore there was nothing Retogar wanted more than the "Promised land," a place undiscovered that still naturally flourished with life.
As several other civilizations were shunned in the union of Retogar and they formed a group known as the Renegades and made their own home Bassys (pronounced Base-sis). As one of the last natural standing civilizations they are the strongest opposing civilization next to Retogar. Many of its inhabits are farmers, miners and sailors. However the civilization hides a secret terrorist group that infiltrates Retogar and shuts down its power plants that sucks away at the life of Terra.
A neutral city that rivals the size of Retogar is Nexus. It has a neutral standing with Retogar and rivals their military techological power with its golem protectors. Nexus is a sea side port town, residing many homeless, drunks, criminals, and fishermen. Oddly enough, it also resides the smartest people! Having the largest magic school with mechanical golem creations as protectors, unfortunately are easily out smarted by criminals. Adventures often get killed seeking glory in this dark civilization.
The last faction of people is a neutral group mostly humans who either ran away or were kicked from Retogar known as Freelancers. They are often the most feared of people and aren't welcome in many other civilizations other then Nexus but due to their survival skills their powers are unmatched.

Fellelica is a city unknown to humans, it resides highly magical beings known by few as Mutants or Espers. It's a civilization that doesn't allow its people to leave knowning that Retogar wants to dominate and control the vast magical power it provides. It is the Promised land golden city.

Keep your story to yourselves until you've explained your rules's fuckeries.

>thermal expansion

>>50526190
What's the problem, then?

>>50526190
I wish that this wish would have zero repercussions beyond being a waste of a wish.

I wish we were playing a better game.

>>50526171
gothic snorer more like it.

>>50526171
Bloodborne is really much closer to cosmic horror than Gothic horror, outside of some of it's aesthetics.

>>50526262
Yeah, most of Bloodborne's horror is rooted in Lovecraft.

Personally, I'm a sucker for Castlevania myself.

>Mountains

>>50525782
If I dont get another reply soon we can start on your vote. Also, I do my Civ threads a bit differently than a lot of other people. Much close to a choose your own adventure storyline.

Pick a hero name if you want. Or I can make one up.

>>50525760
Probably belongs on /qst/, especially with your additional statement.

In saying that, while it's here I'll play.
