Seems like it's been an age since we've had one of these. How are your projects going? Any major breakthroughs? Any big news?
As an aside, here's that game design pdf I promised about a hundred days ago. I flicked through it, it looks useful (but so useful that you should feel bad about pirating it).

Gnawing at the same old problems, designing comprehensive stats scalable by size mainly.
A little question to liven up the thread:
What do you think of the use of the value zero (0) in stats, skills and other gauges?

It is 1,239 years since the Battle of of Roncevaux Pass, where a large force of Basques ambushed a part of Charlemagne's army in the Pyrenees on the present border between France and Spain, after his invasion of the Iberian Peninsula. As the Franks retreated across the Pyrenees back to France, the rearguard of Frankish lords was cut off, stood its ground, and was wiped out.
In 777, Charlemagne was courted by Sulaiman Ibn al-Arabi, the wali, or governor, of Barcelona. Al-Arabi was keen to form an alliance with Charlemagne, in the hope that such a powerful ally would protect him from invasion. He assured Charlemagne that if the Frankish armies crossed the Pyrenees, they would meet with little resistance and could make considerable gains.
Charlemagne accepted the enticing offer, and marched into the Iberian Peninsula in early 778. His progress, as promised, was swift, and by the spring he had taken the strategically important city of Pamplona. His army continued south, intent on capturing the jewel in the crown, the city of Zaragoza. However, when Charlemagne reached the city his progress was unexpectedly halted. The city governor, Hussain Ibn al-Ansari was in no mood to submit, and vowed to repel any Frankish invasion.
After a tense standoff, during which Charlemagne laid siege to Zaragoza, a deal was eventually struck: Al-Ansari offered a substantial payment of gold, and the release of several prisoners, in return for a Frankish withdrawal. Charlemagne, pleased of an excuse to return to France where a Saxon rebellion was threatened, accepted the deal, and readied his forces for the march northwards.
During the retreat, Charlemagne ordered that the fortifications of Pamplona be destroyed, reducing the threat of it being used as a base to attack the Franks. This antagonised the local population, and can be viewed as a possible cause of the battle the followed.

Well, they give this one for completely free. Those prices are anyway so low that I don't see any reason for piracy.

Then you need to acquire what is colloquially known as a "job", wherein your labor is exchanged for money that can be used to purchase experiences.
Recently I went to a friend's house to play 7th Sea. Needless to say, it was very underwhelming and unsatisfactory. He added so many weird aspects like robots and mutant agents (which are never actually explained). He added some mcguffins which involved time travel. Not to mention, he added Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Santa Claus.He also had a Mary Sue DMPC who seemed to be the real main protagonist (while me and my friends were basically sidekicks. This session really rubbed me the wrong way, and shockingly enough, he's planned a second part (as well as a MapleStory and One Punch Man tabletop). Should I just stop going to his house at this point?
>>54986241
>Should I just stop going to his house at this point?
Good fucking lord never speak to this shitbox again.
This feels like some kind of hand-crafted bait, but I'll bite.
No, no you should not keep going back to this person's game. They sound... unwell.
>>54986276
I can assure you this is not bait. Supposedly he said we was trying to fix up any plot holes because of some constructive criticism we have him prior because of his Naruto tabletop. Funny thing is, he always critiques our games, claiming that ours are riddled in plot holes, yet he's guilty of doing the same thing.

How would you go about setting a game in a floating graveyard of lost ships and planes in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle?
>>54985252
Something is keeping the players there.
Players have to scavenge gear to survive and get deeper into the triangle to figure out what.
Basically Subnautica on a regional level instead of a planetary one.
>>54985278
A curse, or lost technology, or aliens, or a geomantic anomaly, whatever it is, the PCs need to find a way to bypass or annul the force that's keeping the there while they scavenge for the supplies they need to stay alive. However, they might not be the only ones in there amidst all those wrecked ships and planes.

I wouldn't. That's a location to visit, not a full setting.

The total lack of self awareness is hilarious.
Just going to repost this since this was the last post of the previous thread.
Where can I find no accident powers? So that way I don't blap someone with super strength.
Also, my own personal question is can Solar's from the Exalted-Solar's jump make Firearms and drive charms or are we limited to the 25 colleges of ability
Are online TCGs /tg/ related?
I'm asking because tcgs are supposedly /tg/ related, while vidya is /v/ and or /vg/ related
is something stops being /tg/ related if it has a vidya?
It is a digital form for a thing that would be on a tabletop in a physical form.
Yes.
It is like arguing if roll20 is /tg/ reöated
>>54984991
what about playing house? is that /tg/ related?
This week's episode was so /tg/, I could hear the dice roll in the background.
