It really depends on your lgs and the people there.

listen faggot. do what I did. Go up to your local game store, make sure they have tablespace (that increases the odds of an rpg group running games there) ask the store owner or staff if there is a group that shows up regularly. If they say yes, ask what day and time they show up. Then show up on that day and at that time and ask the group if there is a spot open.

It worked for me 5 years ago, and I never regretted it. There are only two roadblocks I can think of 1)their group is already full, 2)They are the worst kind of players and dont like outsiders.

And don't look like a basement dweller. Shower, shave, smell nice. Etc. That will help.

Then this thread would make you a wizard.

My tiefling Sorceress would shit gold.

And everyone else would (correctly) call bullshit as she then becomes everything I want in a woman.

So....fart wizards?

There is, I believe, a GUMSHOE engine game which is made to play investigators in a high-school setting

>>48094524
Thanks; do you mean BubbleGumshoe? I have never played that system, would you recommend it in general?

>>48094904
that is the system I was thinking of, I know little to nothing about that specific system, I have run GUMSHOE games before however and they work well for investigative/mystery driven games, how well it functions as a high-school investigation game will therefore rest on how well the mechanics for social dynamics and such hold up

I dunno.
How does magic work in your setting?

To take from existing D&D settings, you could look at how Forgotten Realms implies that in theory anyone can learn magic, but because very few people are talented and have potential enough to self-teach, it kind of creates a sense of elitism among the people who developed their magical abilities, and as such they only pass on their knowledge to those they desire to.

That then goes into deeper examples of just a mage who picks a young apprentice after seeing the potential within him, the nation of Cormyr having heavily regulated arcane magic users (including a secret police to keep them regulated), and a joke in one of the books about Raven's Bluff about how the next generation of wizards guild leaders are going to be mostly women, because when you have a guild composed of lonely old men, they tend to prefer taking female apprentices.

While a counter example would include places like Halruaa where life is made far easier by simple magics to keep homes cool in the summer, food from spoiling, etc, and even kids know basic cantrips for making illusions and lights for different games and activities.

But that is a setting where magic is a key part of the universe and those who live in it. And its manipulation is not inherently dangerous, but its abuse can cause some weird effects and destructive magics and summoning magics tend to weaken the walls of reality.

In my experience it depends entirely on just how easy it is to open a portal to hell in your setting

DnD 5e. That's how magic works in my setting.

The show must go on. The Exuberance continues deccelerating toward a parking orbit around the planet. Whoever tried to assassinate you is most likely prepared for either eventuality, no point in slowing your roll now while you track them down.

You knock back a thimbleful of sapho, cybernetic pedipalps grinding furiously against one another beneath your undershirt. Agilus, the auxiliary consciousness the Tleilaxu built into your brain for data processing (and who recognized the trap in time to save you) presents you with the four most likely suspects.

>The expedition’s CHOAM officer, Roger Haut. The only one who could have accessed your dossier legitimately. Obvious motive to kill you: gain complete command over the ship.
>The Tleilaxu whores, Severian and Severa. Could have received information about you from the Bene Tleilax, along with orders to sabotage you.
>The head of engineering, Gell Voivode. Could easily have powered up the exterior shields without leaving any trace,
>The head Navigator, Aten, or one of his subordinate Navigators (who wouldn’t and most likely couldn’t have tried anything without his explicit consent). Would have known exactly how to entrap you, where you’d be and when.

Will you

There are a couple of good systems. World Wide Wrestling is one, there's another one with a very similar name. One is based on an old system but new and improved by fans of the original, the other is an Apocalypse Engine game and is also well received by wrestling fans.

>>48093202
Neat. These actually sound somewhat promising.

If they continue to make money then someone out there disagrees with you.

If most of them make money that lots of people out there disagree with you.

They wouldn't do if if no one was buying.

I've played it at lunch with a guy from work. It's pretty gud. I guess it's from a book or something.

Are you GM or player?
What edition?
How many people are in group?

If everyone is fine with his character being a 13 year old bisexual samurai girl, then there's nothing wrong with it. The only real rule is "if everyone is having fun with it, then it's 100% fine".

>>48091539
>One of my friends insists that his character is a 13 year old, chinese, bisexual samurai girl. Should that be permitted?


If you're not the GM, that's not your call. If you are the GM, the fact that you're posting with that image and feel the need to call this out says you probably don't want it in your game, so you ought to work that out with him like an adult instead of bitching to /tg/. Also depends on edition. 4E would make that character pretty viable and possibly even interesting, for example.

This is the first I've heard of it. Art direction looks more up my alley than 40k, that's for sure. Still a little on the busy side though, especially those...I can't even tell what the guys on the right are supposed to be, actually.

> is it just another generic(tm) brand sci fi with its only claim to fame being that it has an old 40k writer making the rules
That is pretty much it. The command dice rules are cool, but nothing helps it stand out. Infinity is at least visually distinct, and Warpath has reasonably priced made in the UK hard plastic for everything. I feel like Rick Priestly should put more attention to the presentation.

Players killed so much bullshit over the course of a campaign that they built a wall of corpses around the village they were defending. Good times.
