Let's go system agnostic and just post some interesting thoughts, quotes, artwork and other sources of info on it. If you have storyteims that'd be excellent, as well as thoughts/experiences with systems that aren't SR (SR's fine, I'd just like a thread where it wasn't dominate if that's at all possible)
Here's an interview with Mike Pondsmith and I think the first two minutes (after that it's just talking about the upcoming game) are one of the best descriptions of what cyberpunk is (more accurately what it's best at being).

I dislike cybernetics and think it's actually the most boring part of cyberpunk, unless it's really well done like in When Gravity Fails.
Does anybody else feel this way? Cyborg parts in my type of cyberpunk are something only people in the military or guys with horrible injuries get

On the other hand, that's a pretty shit preorder bonus, but I'll still preorder it, because I've been waiting for a game like this for more than a decade.
On a much more interesting and noteworthy note, notice the new Streum On logo, it's pretty rad imo.

Traveller is a classic science fiction system first released in 1976. In its original release it was a general purpose SF system, but a setting was soon developed called The Third Imperium, based on classic space opera tropes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a slight noir tint.
Though it can support a wide range of game types, the classic campaign involves a group of retired veterans tooling around in a spaceship, taking whatever jobs they can find in a desperate bid to stay in business, a la Firefly or Cowboy Bebop.

I'm working on a campaing starting in november. Playing with Mong 2e High guard I've created a jack-of-all trades of sorts, 350T ship with a 30T shuttle/gunboat/fighter. Using freight and medium passage and two trips per month it looks crew will be about 295k Cr in debt every month. Can it me taken care of by speculative trading or will they need to get more than 100k Cr per mission to stay afloat?
Or, If the ship's crap please tell me how what to throw away/add.

>What is /awg/?
A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks. /hwg/ doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to very specific games, so this thread isn't tied to a game, or a genre, lets talk about fun wargames.
Any scale, any genre, any company, any minis. Skirmishers welcome. Rules designers welcome.
>Examples of games that qualify
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_miniature_wargames
Mighty Armies, Dragon Rampant, Of Gods and Mortals, Frostgrave, Hordes of the Things, Songs of Blades and Heroes, and anything that doesn't necessarily have a dedicated thread (gorkamundheim).

Da Archive Annex is where the newest links go before I scrub them and put them in Da Archive.
Da Wish List is comprised of unfulfilled desires.
The most recent wishes are unsorted at the bottom.

Please give as much information as you can when you make a request. The more information you give (cover, a link to product, name of designer/writer/publisher) - the more chances someone might recognize it and upload it.
STEP 5 Please be patient with the irrepressible urchins who request without looking first. They help bump the thread, and they want to look at something that's not porn. They might even read it. You don't have to answer them, although that also bumps the thread.

Last time on Song of Swords:
Ronin campaign lives
Some pretty sweet Audatia cards
Jimmy tries to push updates. Again.
KM tells anons about steel
Song of Swords is a realistic fantasy tabletop RPG that draws inspiration from historical fechtbuchs, weapons and armor. Its combat system is fast and it can be used for both fantasy and historical/mundane settings.
Call of the Void is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Its combat system is more modern, based in the early 20th century, but can probably handle combat up to the present day.
Here's a MEGA folder with the newest version of the rules as well as all related current working documents. At this time the latest version is v1.9.9:

Here's a wiki detailing SoS's fantasy setting, getting filled up bit by bit as Jimmy reveals more details:
http://tattered-realms.wikia.com/wiki/Tattered_Realms_Wiki
There's also a roll20 room where new players are encouraged to try the rules, test new rules, and find game breaking issues: https://app.roll20.net/join/346755/hRKd4w
The room might be empty, but the people who teach the game still browse the thread frequently. If you're looking to learn, post here in the thread. We also play Guy Windsor's card game Audatia in the room.
Let's hear about some of those campaigns you guys are all totally running and/or playing in.

There's a kerfuffle at an event. P1 is awarded a game loss, then P2 is awarded a trip to Dairy Queen. What happens to P1's game loss (any of their game losses)?
>>
>>49342547
Nothing. Assuming P2 gets the Dilly Bar Trip during the match, then we'll record it as a 2-1 win for Player 1. Player 1's Game Loss is still entered into the reporting software for the purposes of Game Win Percentage and tracking of penalties.
>>
>>49342547
For context: P1 was playing with an illegal deck, P2 knew this but withheld this information from P1 for a period of time to ensure P1 would get in trouble (assuming the earlier an error is caught, the more lenient a judge would be). P1 gets the GL due to §3.9, item 1 of the IPG:
>The deck and/or decklist contain an illegal number of cards for the format.
P2's action gets him a DQ because it's a violation of §4.8:
>notices an offense committed in his or her (or a teammate's) match and does not call attention to it
>The player must be attempting to gain advantage from his or her action.
>The player must be aware that he or she is doing something illegal.
Just don't know what happens to a player if their opponent is booted. Does it matter the order? Say P2 is DQ'd and then P1 is given GL, does P1's standing change at all?

You're a dwarf. The mountain holds are under attack by goblins and you need a weapon. What do you choose?

Dwarfs a short. Shorter arms. Shorter swing radius.
>>
>>49340861
Dwarf tunnels are hard for human sized races to fight in, plenty of room for dwarfs and goblins to fight. Plus the bridge rails are dwarfs sized as well so they could easily push or sweep a human or orc over the side and into a canyon.
>>
>>49340861
But dwarf sized weapons are smaller than regular ones. And those weapons arent actually slow anyway.

Hey all!
Decided to get into Warhammer and, after learning about their pretty cool lore and a e s t h e t i c, bought the Stormcast/Chaos starter.
When I eventually move onto checking out my unis wargame society and hopefully start playing, I want an army with a pretty solid theme. After hearing about the link between the Stormcasts and the Dwarves (whose WH design I've always loved), I was thinking about doing the following:
The Age Of Sigmar Stormcast Eternal starter army, with the missing artillery space being filled with Dwarven artilarly units, painted in the same gold and blue armour style. So, it'd be like the Stormcast's are the bulky, expendable frontline while the still mortal Drawfs are giving them covering fire from (relative) safety.
Just wanted some thoughts/advice on the idea, and maybe some general advice to anyone whose new to the game to read!
