GURPS Vehicles 3e.

>>49009151
Full confession: I've never played GURPS, but from looking at it I get the impression that it'd get bloated as fuck really, really fast. Am I wrong about that?

It is a traditional game indeed.

I have no idea either. I ran into the same problem. Well, that, and no one to play with.

>>49008974
Yeah, that's a problem too.
My players just wanna stick with D&D, Cyberpunk, WoD...
How can they not see the beauty in the GWB?

Nobilis has a well earned reputation as the Best Game you'll Never Play.

It's beautiful, artistic, elegant, a masterpiece of design and imagination... And an absolute bitch to actually use.

You literally just decide how capable someone should be able to be, and what a nice comfy way to represent that would be. Then you decide how capable the average person would be, and rate them using the same metric. Add some consideration for the mechanics of the system, regarding probability, and you're done.

this is a very important mechanical consideration for establishing the "feel" of your game

do you want a zero to hero progression where rat-slayers move on to challenge gods?

do you want capable folks who become more capable but are always mortal?

do you want peasant quest where anything and everything has a more than fair chance of outright killing you?

these considerations are really what should determine the intensity of character progression

Nah, I play humans exclusively in D&D-type games, unless warforged is an option.

In any other game, I always play robots if possible.

>>49008043
It's too hard to roleplay another race imo.

I often go for demihuman races, especially elves, dwarves and half-elves, with the occasional lizardfolk.

It is sometimes fun to imagine yourself as the average joe from the other side,or as something slightly different.

No.

Go with your gut. DM here and playing with people who just wanna be dicks is no fun.

Think of playing as collaborative screenwriting. Do you wanna screen write with those guys? If no, then GTFO.

Careful.

For starters do the players have any reason to suspect the NPC wouldn't be human? If so, play into their suspicions. Provide coincidental clues that don't prove but indicate they might not be.

As a skill check? What are we talking about here, a cursory glance using the medical skill (w/e) or a medical exam? Because those are entirely different things.

And then how would a non human NPC reveal themselves? No breathing? No pulse? Glowing red gems instead of nipples?

Define the playing field and then give the players the ball. Your problem isn't a skill check, your problem is framing.

Once the roll has been defined, then define degrees of success according to the plot and the situation. If it is crucial for the story that the investigators find out then the degrees of success range from suspicion to certainty. If in turn the story needs them NOT to find out then the degrees of success range from a false negative to suspicious ambivalence, but no certainty.

Can someone decipher and translate those kanji?

>>For starters do the players have any reason to suspect the NPC wouldn't be human?

The NPC is forced by the cult to lurk the players to a trap, so the NPC seems to know too many things and strange. And players have knowledge of Cuthulhu myth, so it is reasonable the suspect a human is non human.

One player try to do body check to confirm is he a human. Like checking for breath , pulse , bone structure.

==
The doctor failed the test, so I assume that this NPC has some weird disease so his pulse is very strange , so the doctor can "barely" confirm he is a human.

Noble, not grim, for one. Setting on earth rather than in the galaxy as a whole is another big change. The technology being constantly developed, with a focus on energy and science rather than religion and mechanics.

Don't have orks or elves or undead. Don't have highly catholic influence. Don't have dystopic fascist empires as the baseline. Don't have fuck huge pauldrons. Easy.

No, the question is why aren't you playing Degenesis Rebirth?

>>49005551
Is it really only three pages or did you upload a draft?

>>49005609
Only three pages so far. It is supposed to be rules-light and i started the project about 4 hours ago. I want to see if it has any potential before i move on.

>>49005635
I really don't want to be rude, but so far there really isn't much of a system here to judge. It just seems to be, roll a dice under a number to do stuff.

It doesn't really say how you arrive at those numbers or give examples. There are items, but without a baseline game to see, the effect the items have is kinda meaningless.

Things in the text don't seem to flow, like the tarot card comes out of nowhere. Players can rest at bonfires sure, but what do they do when they aren't resting at bonfires. We need a whole lot more than this.

Gargantuan naga, which I have no blue-board-safe pictures of.

(Specifically, he's a viper-lycanthrope psychic warrior with augmented expansion.)

?

>>49004350
pretty much everything

>>49004350
Nothing? I mean, tastes have changed, but you can still play the same old games.

Or are you fishing for

>SJW menace.
>Tumblr!!!1!
>Scary pronouns!

>>49004350
Nothing? I mean, quality varies as much as any other large tabletop game but both ow and nw vampire, hunter, and mage are good games, and nw changeling is pretty sweet.

Try drawing with thick yoghurt.

it's a good idea

If you think its some stupid meme enforced here well sorta.

but its one of those memes that is absolutely needed
