/tg doesn't like it because of furries.
I think it's the unfurriest furry-game, so it's okay.
I prefer other owod settings though.

Pretty interesting setting though as with all WoD games I dislike the mechanics behind them.

I doubt you'd get a large enough market for it, but....

Fuck dude, put this chart up on the site and allow people to request which one they want, they will eat that shit up.

Gimmicks, personal branding, and quality

>Gimmicks
Sorting lip, hidden compartments, double bottoms, ability to unfold flat and reveal a genre pattern rolling mat, 'concealed blade' pencil and eraser, LED light crystal, detachable dice cup, cushioned single compartments for precision dice, ...

>Personal branding
Logos and shapes as patches or embroidery from IP factions and general gaming symbols like sword, potion, staff, crossbow, 2d6, etc. as well as color and material choices

>Quality
Actual leather with non poison tanning, high thread count fabrics, thick woven pull strings, dense and reliable stitching, quality buttons, and a free repairs policy with a reasonable postage arrangement.

Especially the materials side can be very challenging. An affordable faux leather line next to a luxury real leather line might be reasonable.

In the short story dead man walking the local PDF and Krops worked together with terrifying results of the PDF becoming a smaller slightly less brutal version of the Krops

>>48950978
Isn't Astra Militarum a fancy copyrightable name for Imperial Guard these days? Death Korps is a part of Imperial Guard.

I can't even begin to explain how retarded you are, OP.

>>48950866
Normally, I'd agree with you, but considering the modern fluff I have a feeling the Tau are going to wipe the floor with any Tyranids that come their way.

Not to mention the Necrons, who's entire concept counters the Tyranid way of warfare so hard it's hilarious.

Depends on the system.

>>48950450
Talking from a story standpoint, but if you need a system then Mutants and Masterminds.

You called?

>>48949176
I don't know what that is but looking at the 5 people in front is kinda looks like a cleric on the right a barbarian on the left with a rogue behind him. And fighter with the blue paint skin. And maby a sorceress in the front. So the composition is balanced. but other then judgeing by looks that's all I can say.

>>48949176
This movie was fucking terrible and hilarious.

And yes the party is balanced it has a caster in it.

>>48949176

The guy on the left is clearly meant to be some badass warrior but he just looks like someone's uncle.

It's pretty much railroading if the players have no agency in the matter. You can dress the guy up as an enemy soldier, and if they fail their perception, he's just another soldier, or you can execute him before an audience of evil mooks - where no player would go with any sense - but if the players can't do anything about it, I'd say it's railroading.

>Would you consider it railroading if someone would make a likeable and charismatic NPC that helps players only to get him horribly killed/force players to kill him at some point for drama points?
Not necessarily, but-

>Thing is , I specifically want to design a character who WILL die, no matter what players might do. There is no way PC would be able to save him since his death is tied to campaign conclusion.
Yes, that's absolutely railroading. The only choice it gives the PCs is whether or not they give a shit about the character you kill off.

Do consider that railroading in moderation is absolutely fine.

Relentless, diregraf and amalgam on but need something more to better work with it

haunted dead + the madness vampire that transforms + amalgam

>>48948427
There are better stiched zombies that offer more than haunted dead and the thing is i limit myself to zombie themed cards so no vampires

Gettin' things warmed up with what little relevant character art I have.

Basically do the work for you ? Nope.

Is this game related to the video game?

>>48947730
not quite, its more like the book and movie.

>>48947440
Hey, I was also in last thread. Part of the FLOW system is in encouraging roleplaying so if you decide you need to encourage awareness of the system and roleplaying you could try penalise them more for simple, uninspired answers like you mentioned. Of course, this might not be easy and may require some ideas on your part as to what more creative options there might be. Sad to hear about your anomaly issue, this is why I asked about any rules for them in the other thread.

Is everyone else a base race while you're a minotuar?

>>48946801

One of us is a homebrew leprechaun, the rest are various non human races that I believe are standard but probably not base. Rock gnome, satyr, imp, and cat person

>>48946839
That's one hell of a way to start playing, DM may need to scale up the challenge rating for the group if he hasn't already, what's everyone level?

Any tinkering race your setting has, such as Gnomes or Dwarves, should definitely be good at math and geometry. Wizards, who rely on magic, should only need basic addition/subtraction skills, more or less so depending on if magic is "Vancian" or not.

>>48946172
Wizardry is typically a "science" in fictional settings, with specific measurements and calculations going into spells, so by all means they should have a solid understanding of mathematics. Doubly so if magic is interlinked with other sciences like astronomy or chemistry.

You're letting Kuro-sensei down, OP.

>>48945870

Balm, aka Barmy, aka Embalmer, aka Bomb.

Phams. New street name for amphetamines.

Lotes. Synthetic downer originally made with a lotus logo on the pills.

Drive-By. Fast acting superstrength narcotic. Puts you down on your ass like an elephant tranquilizer for five minutes, followed by a mellow buzz for about two hours.

>>48945870
Star Dust always works.

Space Meth
Space Crack
Space Weed

You're welcome!

It's essentially a gamist way of resolving social encounters. The rules are usually as complex as those for combat.

Pros:
- Obliges players to put effort and detail into social encounters rather than brushing it off with a single "I roll Dip"
- Is impartial and consistent (ideally) meaning it's not a game of "say what the GM wants to hear" or "convince the GM you're right via his in-game proxy".

Cons:
- Can limit player agency, particulaly in 'Roll first' type systems where what you say depends heavily on the roll
- Transforms what would be a free-flowing conversation into a highly abstracted game of dice which can hurt immersion
- Can take a long time, potentially as long as any combat encounter
- Care needs to be take so that it's not another way for That Guy powergamers to derp

>>48944907
Having never played social combat before I think I would enjoy that. Would it mean that I would have to roleplay more fully in order to successfully get the result I am after?

>>48944907
OP here. So I should skip it if I prefer more simulation-focused play?
