The images I had saved in my mtg folder were all standard cards or cards also fine in legacy. Griselbrand, Grave-Troll and Amalgam were among the other options for OP post. I figured Skred was appropriate because it won GPDFW.

How's Tenra Bansho Zero? The book is absolutely huge, so it seems like reading through it would be a lot of work.

Backer waiting for... any kind of update at this point.
I have faith in Andy, but I'd still appreciate, well, something.

Pure genius, great read, relatively modular in that not all archetypes are intended to be available for every game and with such a peculiar setting that I, for the life of me, can't find any players.

Lots of TBZ is lists of things that you can skim through pretty easily. If you have any interest whatsoever, I'd recommend checking it out, it's great.

Wisdom and constitution, place all necessary rolls in intelligence and strength respectively. Still conveys the basic ideas of the traits and allows for similar builds to remain.

>>50413228
Constitution and Strength should be one ability, and Intelligence and Wisdom should be one ability.

Int and Wis are a no brainer, combine them into "Mental" or something similar, and combine Str and Dex into a "Physical" stat.

Whoops, misremembered companion Import price. Guess I'll drop Understanding the Art. Don't feel like adding more Phantoms to my stalker club, those two are already annoying enough.

Is there any way to make your spiritual/magical/etc. attacks "toxic" to foes who would absorb them?

According to JoJopedia only thing that can beat GRE is The World Over Heaven.

Literally every topic imaginable, and I mean LITERALLY ANYTHING, is a traditional game, except when it isn't.
For example, a music album is a traditional game: https://boards.fireden.net/tg/thread/50376726/#q50376726
There is no pattern to what is on topic and what is off topic. Some anons have to follow the rules, and other anons don't have to follow the rules. /tg/ is just /b/ without porn. Abandon all hope and all reason.

>>50411341
The problem with quest threads isn't that they potentially traditional games. Some of them most certainly are. Its that they numbered a third of the board, and no real connection to the rest of the /tg/ community. They're harder to understand then a general for a game you don't play. I say this as someone who ran a quest.

I wouldn't be happy with someone running their weekly DnD game on here either, it's just too exclusionary.

That said, play by post games are traditional games, and a thread about sites or ways to play play by post is totally welcome.

Take a look a this. You're allowed to post threads that are a single line of greentext saying ">a thing happened", except when you aren't. You're not allowed to ask what the difference is.
What is off topic? Whatever the mod decides is off topic at that precise moment, which is essentially random. Rules? What rules? You suffer for the mod's amusement.

>So, It's coming up to Christmas and I've been thinking of getting a Fantasy Flight 40K Role Playing book,
Mein fuhrer... Steiner...

>>50410421
2nd edition is more steamlined, 1st edition has way more material and adventures published.
Both have their issues and imbalances, as in 2nd E didn't solve all the existing issues (it did solve some) and added others.

The biggest difference:
1st: Character classes and money
2nd: Classless affinities and requisition via influence

All things considered, I'd say 2nd E.


Ps : FFG has lost the licence. The game is no longer supported, and as a result there will be no more expansions.

Also, don't go to the 40kRPG general when it appears. It's full of cancerous faggots who use homebrew and run meme games.

One of my players goes out of his way to thank me for running the game after every single session. It's just a little thing, but it keeps me going when I look at my notes and feel like everything I've written is trash.

>>50410415
Thanks man, these threads really help.

I finally got one of my players off his phone and into the game! We tweaked his character's backstory and personality a bit, so now he's a lot more invested in the game and his Character!

So I'm really happy with my players. I'm storyteller for a changeling group, and I'm running a sandbox. Basically the entire concept I had was based off the idea what if you came out of the hedge and had no support group?

For those of you who don't know pcs in changelings are all survivors of kidnappings by extradimensional beings. Most get taken as adolescents or kids. They spend some time in a hellscape, and then they escape. Usually when they get back to our world the local group of other changelings help you get on your feet. Magical and political shinanigans then ensue.

My Idear was what If you had no support group? You would have few life skills, no social security number, nothing. So I ran a game where they came out, had nothing, and the local changeling community had devolved into gang warfare between different factions.

Basically it was pretty free form. I had things happening, but it was there choice whst to do and how to interact. I'm really happy with them cause they haven't just sat around waiting for me to point them at whst they need to do next. They aren't passive, they are actively making plans an doing things on their on. Pushing the game forward. And it's making me really happy.

Also, good for you op. Good for you. Not to tangent, but mayhap while we are here we could all discuss what we can do to contribute to the community?

Was this the game with the little flippy tiles you had to set up or was this the game with the guns that shot actual little missiles?

Stratego

Hide the bomb!

I was having this problem until I started to run my games in Chapters that had fairly self contained endings. I'll alternate settings between chapters and ones that I'm bored of will just never come back up. As long as each chapter has a suitably self contained storyline with a satisfying conclusion players are fine with it.

We've gamed for about 7 years as a group now. I n that time, we have finished... 3 long term campaigns, two of Dark Heresy, one of Call of Cthulhu.
We also completed a pair of short Unhallowed Metropolis games, and had two semi-accidentally ended games of Aces & Eights. In general, what happens is they just sort of peter out or someone deeply involved in the game moves away. Or we just all can't get together for weeks on end.
I've literally had the last session of a Deathwatch game planned for more than a year, and I just can't get the gumption together to get everyone together to play through it.

>>50400613
this is some good and subtle /pol/ bait
I like it

Literally never.

I treat my character like a pair of hiking boots; I walk them to pieces, then I step into the next pair.

Never.

They all just want the spotlight.

There's no reason to make friends with someone whose mind won't bend.

So always take suggestions, but always consider them thoroughly before implementing anything.
The GM is subservient to his players if he wants to run a game, but that doesn't mean he just gives them what they want. No one knows what they actually want.

Gonna get crucified for bringing this up, but DIO in JoJo is a good example of a vampire that maximizes the use of his abilities. In Phantom Blood, he was heavily characterized as enjoying his powers and really being showy about it. He makes undead minions out of anyone he comes across, as well as weird monsters like animals with people heads and shit, just because he can. In Stardust Crusaders, he becomes obsessed with boosting The World's ability to become even more powerful, too.
From a character perspective, he's really a selfish prick and evil for the sake of evil, but he's all about the immortality and the vampire powers and shit.
