I'd have a good gander at 7th, I played the 1st edition which was good apart from a bit of skill bloat (and an at times odd setting). A fairly different 2nd edition was recently released

There are bunch of well-written age of sail GURPS supplements. I've never played gurps, but I did use those supplements as inspiration for when I ran 7th sea.

Those are the first things that come to mind, but I'm sure some co-optable fantasy systems have some decent naval rules somewhere that might come to mind.

OP what you want is Dungeon World

It's pretty much objectively one of the best currently out there. It has fast easy to use mechsnics and is perfect for beginners, it's a lot cheaper than most of these other rules bloated systems that cost fifty dollars. There is no reason for extra rules when it is he role playing that matters. Dungeon World is fast and innovative and still feels exactly like the spirit of ADND before DnD 3.5 destroyed the hobby and ruined a generation of role players.

You want fast, intuitive combat? Dungeon World does that.

You want real, deep roleplaying mechanics? Dungeon World does that.

You want great mechanics that reward diversity of play? Dungeon World does that as well.

My last session of Dungeon World my human fighter wrapped a vampire in a bear hug and wrestled him out a window. This is real roleplaying we are talking about here, not babby 3.5 shit. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Dungeon World today, it is an evolution and perfection of the half-formed ideas in Apocalypse World (the game it is derived from)

Writers revolt and detest on the term "waifu"

u fokkin wot? Do you mean like, their character is married? Or do you mean taking their mexican telenovela waifu and inserting her into the backstory?

>Yes she's a very nuanced character, Eleanor is. Also she's married to Galko.

>>50025060
This seems like a problem that only exists on /tg/.

It sounds like you have a problem with people putting characters other than their PC in the backstory. If not, clarify.

If so, why ?

It's the GM who decides if those characters show up in game or not.

This is what you have been trained for, sergeant.

Carry on

>>50023950
All due respect, Sir,

Just now the Commissar executed an entire squad of men to motivate another squad into breaching enemy fortifications. They would have held the position but simply didn't have the numbers.

None of the men can 'oil their guns' so to speak, sir, for fear of accidentally breaking open the veil of reality and ushering through demonic horrors from beyond.
Its making everyone cranky.

I feel, sir, that there is a significant lack of oversight on the part of Sector Command. I would greatly appreciate it if you came down from high anchor and took a look at the battlefield for yourself.
Your's,

Sergeant McFootSoldier

They get turned into Chibis

I've seen some GMs come up with a reasonable reason why the PC isn't present. For example, one session when several players couldn't make it, those of us who did make the session spent it trying to find out what had happened to them. They had been kidnapped.

I've seen GMs who just don't talk about the missing PC. Basically, the PC is there and doing things from an in-character perspective, but from an OOC one they aren't doing anything.

In both cases, the player who didn't turn up doesn't get any XP from the session. Loot can go either way. If the loot is just from things that happened that session the missing player usually doesn't get any. If the loot is from what the party has been doing from a while, they usually get a share.

Sometimes the PC gets NPC'd for the session.

A few times I've had the GM give me control of another players character because the PC was that important to the sessions plot. I never liked doing that.

Our PC's gang rape their PC.

Then the next time we see the player in person... We gang rape them.

One rule which I've never tried but could be interesting is to seperate stats and skills, so when you make a skill check you use whichever stat and skill make the most sense, this means that so long as a wizard can fluff a way in which their intelligence helps them do a thing they get their int bonus, it may help with playing the wise sage who has good advice for every situation if your int actually was useful in a wide range of situations.

I've considered making a high INT character more by having a homebrew rule that, for instance, any skill-check which would normally add WIS or CHA, can add half a characters INT-modifier, rounded down, instead, if it is better.
Is that retarded?

>>50023080
>so that you can play with morons?
My first and only scheduled game did die out because the GM noshowed the first fucking game, but I can confirm the last part.

>One player thought we were to play D&D
>Another player was playing another campaign before even gametime rolled around saying "I'll be done in a minute" for 2 hours
>Third guy went "how do I made character" the moment he sits down

so... what's the appeal? is it just "rules-light"?

Depending on how hollow you make the moon, you could end up with a very large country. The moon has a surface area comparable to any nation on earth.

>>50022297
Country. Definitely. The moon has a diameter of 2160 miles.

Unless you're only hollowing out a small portion of it.

That's a great way to bond with eastern holymen when you're off on one of those more distant crusades.
