For whatever reason, I'm putting myself through trying to get my 7 year old sister into playing TRPGs, not because I'm a cruel person, but probably because I have no friends.
I've been looking through my collection of PDFs, but naturally a large part of them seem too complex for me to simplify and still keep the game intact, and not quite child-friendly enough to remove the uglier bits from and still keep the game intact. Of course I plan on dropping as many rules as reasonably possible.

I was thinking of trying Engine Heart, and I've already kind of started: she wants to be a robot cat. She's excited about playing it, but hopefully my handling of the mechanics of this don't bore her and put her off of it. I think also Ryuutama is supposed to be kind of cute, but I know nothing about it. Small Towns is unfinished but it's simple and the concept would be good I think. Any suggestions? Don't say Black Tokyo.

Did Toady re-implement goblins as an feature in the game yet, or do they still sit in their empty buildings without ever attacking fortresses?

Wouldn't magic users be at odds with industrialization? I could totally see wizards, an exclusionary social class of mostly academics that occupys enormous power, loathing the advent of industrialization or even maybe trying to stifle it.

Especially fire arms. You can shoot a gun much quicker than a wizard can whisper a spell. It takes a life time to become a an adept wizard while it takes like a few weeks to months to become an adept conscript.

A lot of literature out of the romantic era usually touched on the theme of industrialization causing magic to vanish from the earth and really it makes perfect sense. You wouldn't really need it anymore.

Who's going to develop the magitech and deal with things beyond the scope of technology? There'll be an old guard, but as with all things, the next generation of wizard will capitalize on the new pursuit and the age of techmages will commence.

Eventually, rather than being at odds, the best of both disciplines will coalesce and what were once the new generation of experimenters will become the new old guard of regent production assisted by automation, spell conducting gloves increasing the stability of fireballs even in the hands of a novice, and legs for your wizard tower in case you feel like a change of scenery, but not at the pace of teleportation.
>>
>>48169862
Not really

Wizard shit wouldn't really overlap at all with industrialization, wizards aren't usually portrayed running businesses even if magic made it a 100 times more convenient

Even guns are hardly an alternative to spells, it's a stupid comparison

All in all, it's a pretty shallow and uninspired idea that magic is somehow opposed to technology

>"Ugh he insulted my pen and paper games ;_; better go into autist over drive"

Industrialization versus magic was even a theme in the lord of the rings. Tolkien's idea was that once Sauron's ring of oower was destroyed middle earth would never have to worry about him again since industrialization was right around the corner. Sauron would pass into myth with all the other fantastic elements of the setting like Elves and Dwarves. Tolkien's not even the first to write about this, it is almost central theme in romantic literature where science displaces magic and superstition but I'm sure you would know better than some of the most respected authors of the canon, right?

So I've decided to theorycraft together some alternate sisters of battle in a sense. Hacked together, modelled from bits and pieces to make them look less silly. Removing the boobplate first of all.

Does anyone find the direction decent, if so, any recommended changes. First thing that comes to my mind is making the legs thicker for instance.

The execution is fine but the intent is stupid. The entire reason SoB have boobplate is so nobody can accuse the Ecclesiarchy of fielding MEN-at-arms. You can't just assume everything's hur dur retard because it's 40k. The boob plate served a purpose.
>>
>>48168912
Sure - I keep trying to maintain a relatively female form. The being bigger than they'd have to be, a thinner waist and the like.

I want them to remain very recogniseable female. (I know why the boobplate exists in lore, don't worry.)

Barbarian - War Paint
Bard - Effete Indulgence
Cleric - ???

Monk - ???
Paladin - ???
Ranger - Camouflage
Rogue - Disguise

Sorcerer and Wizard would make something to mix in the blood to write blood runes on their naked skin or on someones skin.

Cleric and Monk Ceremonial use.

Paladin also war paint.
>>
>Cleric
Ritual and religious observances, obviously.

>Druid
be the prettiest peacock in the forest.

>Monk
The act of putting on make-up helps the Monk to meditate. Kind of like raking sand or killing goblins.

>Paladin
It was a choice between makeup or stomping on a clutch of kobold eggs.

>Sorceror
It's not makeup, just the succubus lineage coming through.

>Wizard
Disguising their face because of the one pit fiend they insulted back around level 14.

Use it to cut things in-situ. Like leave the sword in one place and use it to cut stone or wood really easily.

Heat it up, creating a nanometer-scale vacuum gap between air and the surface of the sword.

Why people blame Twilight for ruining vampires when it's in fact Dracula's fault? Before Briam Stoker wrote the novel vampires were disgusting, zombie like creatures not handsome aristocrats.

>>48167083
I must disagree with you anon, Dracula is an enjoyable novel and helped spawn the idea of vampires being able to infiltrate and act as a parasite upon society. Which works quite nicely from a horror perspective.

Twilight was poorly written and made them sparkle.
>>
>>48167083
I blame Twilight for making young adult novels popular.
Twilight is like a Japanese LN, but Western.
Literally cancer.
It spawned a bunch of shitty uninspired franchises like 50 Shades of Gray that enjoyed a wild success among people too illiterate to enjoy proper literature. And, no, I'm not talking about B-tier paperback fantasy/sci-fi/whatever novels when I'm talking about "proper literature".

If anything Anne Rice ruined them first, and harder. A lot of what she did to them stuck meanwhile nobody really thinks of Twilight vampires as real vampires.

Neither of those things are very original.

Everybody starts with a resource pool. A unit of resource, once spent, is spent forever. However, you can invest resources, effectively removing them from your pool for a number of turns and getting more resources when the investment matures.

Fact: By 2020, Hearthstone is going to kill the competitive scene for MTG. The secondary market will crash do to a sharp decrease in demand . Legacy is already dying in the US due to this reason. Hearthstone does MTG better. WOTC has no way to compete with the marginal value that Hearthstone provides to its players. I suggest you get out while you can.

Magic cant be played on your own while on the toilet
And there the advantages of HS end
>>
Competitive Hearthstone is less about playing the game and more about watching your favorite Internet personality play the game and that's the problem. Every Friday night dozens of people go to hundreds of events across the country to play Magic competitively, not to mention the dozen actual tournaments a season where people pour in from every state.

I hate competitive Magic and Wizards but that doesn't change the facts.

But you can play Duels or various non-official rulesless table simulators loaded with magic card images on the toilet

Was there ever any update on TB the House Elf's 'Harry Potter and The tabletop RPG'? The PDF is pretty much finished, except for some spelling mistakes. He did a quest thread here on /tg/ a while back, and had a twitter page for it.

Barring that, general Harry Potter thread. Bad writing in a shoddy setting, but the themes are decent and it's a lot of fun if you can appreciate it for what it is.

You've got three paths ahead of you, one is to kill yourself, the next is to go clean, the last...is to whore yourself out for booze and cigs, which is probably the GM's plan.

If he's got that much trouble reading English than just do other things with him, DnD is fun but there are other alternatives for hanging out.

About to do my first game of RIFTS and I decided to play a character from the Splicers book. Having trouble picking out a pic for my character so I thought it'd be a good idea to start a character art thread about living armor of the fleshy variety.
Dump whatever pics you have of characters wearing organic living armor and while you're at it take the time to discuss/shitpost about living armor in general if you want.
