Long story short, I'm designing a game, and I'm examining the grappling rules.
Classically, large characters were the best grapplers since they are large and in charge. As for smaller characters, they can't do so much in terms of actually wrestling a foe down.
So I've hit upon the idea that if a creature is significantly larger than the grappler, then the grappler can Latch onto the creature instead (That is, hang on to the creature like they are climbing them)
My question is, what are some actions that a Latching person can do to the creature they are latched on to?
As for Grappling (Which is physically wrestling and controlling movements), I have that they can do things like pin the foe down, drag them on the ground, or even pick them up to throw them like a projectile or even use them as an improvised club.
But what about Latching? What makes Latching onto a foe distinct from Grappling? I don't want it to simply be a lesser form of grappling either, as I want it to be distinct from Grappling so that one has incentive to make both Large or Small grapplers/brawlers.

Latching would be about disrupting movement or actions instead of control. While latching you can attack and pierce specific limbs on the body, interrumpting the use of those limbs, or disrupting the senses/gaining the atention of the latched victim for others to make a succesfull attack or retreat. How about planting explosives on an inflicting wound? Stabing and poisoning the wound? cuting eyes, pouring some hazardous liquid on eyes or ears? Mayeb even cutting a tendon or damaging a specific muscle by piercing some part.
>>50230698
New question, how can I make one prefer Disruption and "surgical strikes" over outright control of the foe, and vice versa?
What are some situations where I would want to instead disrupt the giant's movements and do specific striking rather than outright control the giant's movements for example?
>>50230783
Because its really pretensious of a normal sized creature to think he can control a thing like a giant lizard or a giant. I think it has more to do with story telling and realism. Tell me, how would YOU controll a giants movement, even as a half orc, or dragonborn (big strong guy)? Its not like you can stab him or laso him and ride him like a horse.

Coincidentally, I also wanna fuck that afterlife.
What's some good /tg/ related music?
Or, even if it's not /tg/ related, it gives you "that vibe" or gets you in "that mood"?

So I've got a friend that wants to play as a "tinkerer" in the upcoming campaign.
This sounds interesting enough but I have absolutely no idea how to incorporate it into the game. Is there a list anywhere of materials/cost/time or is it all just general?
How do trades like this even scale? I've never done anything like this before in an RPG and I'd like to make it work out nice.

Any stories about campaigns that are wrapped up neatly in a Möbius strip? Stuff like pic related's ending. Trying to get ideas.
and a comic too

>>50226020
Read a shit ton of ancient Indian mythology. (Forehead dot Indians, not Native Americans) And then interpret all of the magical shit as super advanced space technology so powerful the only words mere mundane mortal plebs have to refer to it as is "magic".
There you go, science fiction fantasy.

I'm looking to put together an CoC campaign that focuses around Wall Street, Government scandals around banking and economics, and how it all somehow ties in together into some Bohemian's Grove style rich man's cult who feed/appease some elder god.
Problem is I'm not a huge conspiracy or economics nut, and I don't know where to start researching. Pitch out ideas, random brainstorming, or simply recommend me some research material.
Go with a Gangster time period.
Have the players be IRS/ FBI agents. Start them off small, with lots of red herrings at the beginning. Have them work their way up the criminal/bank food chain until they have to pull the trigger and cause the Great Depression.

Hey /tg/ I've decided that soon I'm going to try start recasting some of my models and I've been reading up and so far the method using Oyamaru seems like the easiest but I've got some questions. After I've made the mold with the Oyamaru what do I actually fill it with? Are there any tutorials on how to actually recast with this method? If I do recast models this way, will the quality be any good?
I don't know shit about casting but I'm curious, what piece are you working on?
>>50223701
Oyamaru deforms with heat, so resin and metal is out of the question. People typically use green stuff to fill it. The quality should be up there, you just need to do more clean up.
Well, there is reddit on casting. And 1d4chan has a link to a good tutorial on the recasting article. Or casting article, something like that.

How do you feel about space? Does the merest mention get your blood running? Then I have a game for you! One of my players just dropped from a longstanding game of SWN. (the fifth slot seems to be a revolving door, but everyone else is stable (the revolving door position is pilot. We're all certain that the pilot of the ship is cursed.)) The game has been going for a couple years now and has survived multiple reschedulings, hiatuses, and other disruptions caused by IRL, so you know we're not gonna give it up any time soon. (not that they happen frequently, mind you.)
We've also accumulated a lot of lore about the sector that the players are in, prompted by them frequently asking my about lore. There's a wiki ( https://bullofheaven.obsidianportal.com/ ) now, but it's more recent, and focuses on general lore rather than the adventures of the party.
Hit me up if you want to learn more.

Come on people, keep it bumped. Or maybe somebody should go bother the mods on /qa/ and ask them to sticky the gamefinder thread.
Quick! I need orcs on mounts!

Have you tried googling it?
>>50223481
Yea, but I didn't like many of them, and I'm trying to find one for a character I'm gonna be rolling later today.
>>50223364
How about orcs that need to be mounted instead?

Powergamer with a lengthy backstory. He's That Sperg, basically tries to micromanage everyone's character to be "optimal" and his character is basically whatever he can do to have the most versatility. 4e, he plays the Warlord. Any other version, he plays Wizard. Prefers Gurps over any other system though.
