True Neutral, of the esoteric "does what must be done, no matter what" variety.
Torture a dude? Rescue an orphan? Steal from the king? Raise undead? Raise the dead? Slay the evil dragon? Slay the good dragon? Solve a puzzle? Meet a giant fish? Fuck his brains out?
What must be, shall be, and woe betide all who stand in the way of it being.

Chaotic Evil is the alignment that most reminds me of myself - intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humour.

Are you boo?

Feng Shui?

>>49054753
Feng Shui.

You could probably also modernize Legends of the Wulin if you really wanted.

>>49054780
>>49054788
Looks like it could work well, yeah. Any preference between Feng Shui and Feng Shui 2?

I'm working on an E6 D20 Modern STALKER
. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VbZBkOL9qJQyKNFhAyFG4_g9eiT5lYd1_hw7AprBo4U/edit?usp=sharing
I'm currently working on repairing of armor and weapons. I'm trying to ape d20 Apocalypse's parts system(everything you make uses just "parts"), but since the repair cost should be tied to the real cost of the weapon i'm not sure how much should a part cost. Should there be different tiers of parts? If there's less damage than a part is worth should a bit of it remain or all should be spent? what do you think.

Just reading that one urban fantasy noir homebrew thread and all that scathing advice actually really helped me out on my own system. Probably stripping an armor system out completely.

>>49054380
>tell us about your game design

Getting back to working on a homebrew that's sort of a mashup of 4e's formatting, RQ/WFRP's faster combat and persistent wounds, and the OSR's focus on adventures over encounters. Setting is generic fantasy with tweaks from the D&D formula (for example gods are more like you'd find in Hellboy or Princess Mononoke).

Almost anything you roll is going to be your ability score (0-5) plus a bonus for training (+5 if trained) plus your level, on a d20.
Class and race give you free 5s on a different ability score (you get to pick a second one if they overlap) but the rest are rolled. Skills can use different scores depending on circumstances and the character sheet is formatted to make that easier.

Combat is mostly standard D20 fare, but with active defense (there's a reaction action used for defending or AoOs), wounds (triggered by a single hit dealing high damage, randomly rolled), and armor as DR (it mitigates hp loss but more importantly reduces the odds of wounding). Also numbers are calibrated so that combat hopefully doesn't last more than 1 to 3 rounds. Partly because I want surprise rounds to be a big goddamn deal.

Instead of AEDU the power format is based on stances, at will stuff, and sometimes long "casting" times. Stance limits eliminate the need for duration tracking. Magic stances have kind of a different feel because they take a while to cast and can be interrupted if the caster takes damage. Gives them that "spell prep" vibe without as much tracking or brokenness.

Probably going to call it "A Fool's Errand" or something like that. Would probably pitch differently to a novice player or the general public, honestly. Otherwise, how does it sound?

>Additional Information
I'd be up to just join another group, but I'm looking for a group
where the primary language would be French. I want to improve my
French speaking skills so I thought this would be a good way to
do it. I was thinking I could probably justify it characterwise
by playing a recluse, or some druid that only talks with animals and
therefore doesn't speak the common language very well.

>HOW TO RUN A GOOD TEXT-BASED RPG: COMMON KNOWLEDGE FOR NEW GMS

1. Use roll20 (free) or a similar system that allows for text and map to be visible at once. Visual aids are incredibly useful for text-based games.

2. Use a chat system to keep in contact with players between sessions. Said chat system should allow private messaging, group communication, and preferably conspicious posting of information (such as times, events, etc). I'd recommend Discord (free), though IRC groups are a close second. Skype is acceptable.

3. Make a clear distinction between IC and OOC chat. The cleanest way to do this is to set aside the group chat (Discord, IRC, etc) as OOC; and make the group aware that the game chat window (roll20, maptools, etc) is for IC talk, descriptions of events, and dice rolls.

I've run it!
And I would have had a lot of fun too, if a problem player hadn't ruined it.

I was able to run it as a sandbox with no prep required (aside from familiarizing myself with everything beforehand). There was not need for rails. There was always weird, wonderful stuff for the PC's to encounter no matter where they went or what they did.

I just had some asshole in the group, was the only problem.

>>49053872
What did he do?

>>49053872
That's what I was hoping to hear, Im running curse of stahd and I need want something a little more free form and a lot less prep when I finish.

No because they're fucking, magical realm perverts.

>>49052636
Not really, for varying reasons, but they're all I've got.

For the most part, until they start shitting up our general skype chat with slurs and shit. I pretty much ignore it, but it gets tedious. I came here to play and talk about games. Not to get inundated in your rage.

My hometown of Savannah, Georgia would be perfect for that. Most haunted city in the US.

>>49052357
Do you prefer all-but-abandoned or actually abandoned?

>>49052357
>But one of my players is an autistic shit that won't play anywhere that doesn't exist in reality.

So do you only play GURPS in modern day settings or some shit? Or only historical games?
