GURPS

>>47710524
Any particular books that might help? Or would the core rules be able to adequately cover it?

>>47710509
Fiasco, most likely.

Saying GURPS and then not mentioning what source book to use is a common shitpost on /tg/.

High chance of OP being a murderer aside, that actually looks like a comfy place to play.
Probably pretty badly ventilated though, and you know what they say about fa/tg/uys...

Here is my actual game room. Not an tg/ unrelated art exhibit that has nothing to do with gaming.

I haven't read the books in a long time, and I may be getting this mixed up with something else but I thought monkey grip allowed you to used 2 handed weapons in 1 hand.

>>47710238
Well, wield oversized weapon requires monkey grip, BaB 21, and a strength score of 25, so unless you are playing epic levels, don't worry about wield oversized weapon.

Monkey grip lets you wield weapons one size category larger than the character at a -2 attack penalty. Example: A character without this feat treats a large 1h weapon as a 2h weapon, and incures a -2 attack penalty due to its unwieldy nature. With this feat, a character can wield a large 1h weapon as a normal 1h weapon, but still incures the -2 penalty. Similarly, a normal size character cannot wield a large 2h weapon due to it being unwieldy because of the size difference. With this feat, you can wield a large 2h weapon as a medium creature. You still take the -2 attack penalty.

Wield Oversized Weapon takes this a step further by allowing a character to treat a weapon as if it were 1 size category smaller, AND 1 weapon category smaller. Example, the player would treat a Large 2h weapon as a Medium 1h weapon. Monkey grip is overwritten (they do not stack), so normal weapon tracking is applied. This character could wield a Huge 1h weapon as a medium 2h weapon and incure the -2 attack penalty.

>>47710238
As far as i remember, greatswords and great axes are already large scale, that's why you need two hands to use them. They could be used by a large sized creature with one hand.

I think you mean enormous sized weapons

>Can't let you do that, cowboy.

Bumping for interest.

From what I hear, it plays the same or very close, to Bolt Action. Which is super fun. I want to try 40k with the same playstyle.

It's a really good game, more variety and options than 'just scfi bolt action'. It's got that early Rogue Trader feel and look to it.

I like that it has an appeal that isn't just another 40k clone, Rick the father of 40k has made it it's own game. Interesting fluff and what's not to like about a race of darlek crossed tripod warmongers, that's the Ghar for you.

Just wish I had some spare cash for the PDF/eBook version so I could carry it around as the rulebook is a lovely large hardback, but my monies all used on models

>>47709326
Was in a similar situation a year ago. The best thing to do is just kind of let them figure it out as they go and don't worry to much if things aren't going as they should. Your friends, or at least the ones that care, will learn the rules together and things will hopefully start running more smoothly after.

Cut monster HP in half, double the damage they do.

Make sure every player knows what their own shit does.

Beyond that 4e runs pretty easy

>>47709767
don't do this, just use MM3 monster math

Also, use the character builder if you can get it, and whether you can or can't, avoid the Essentials classes.

The Essentials classes are Knights, Slayers, Thieves, Scouts, Hunters, Binders, Bladesingers, Witches, Sha'ir, Beserkers, Cavaliers, Blackguards and Hexblades

Mages are also technically an Essentials class, but they're honestly fine

Originally they were flight pack attachments. You can see the regular backpack nozzles on older miniatures.

It gradually changed into the generic style of chaos backpacks because it was a nice visual shorthand separating them from loyalists.

>>47708907
This. After the jet pack thing was dropped it just became the vents for the backpack power plant.

>Non-damage effects grenades/missiles.
Designer oversight, most likely.

Regarding AoE size
>For weapons with a uniform blast effect or other static blast area, divide the base listed radius in half for minigrenades and micromissiles and double it for standard missiles. [pg. 304]

I would suspect that standard grenades/missiles are comperable to the size of a handgrenade, or the rounds of a grenade launcher. Mini I suspect are small enough to be kept in the palm of your hand. I don't think microscopical explosives are a thing in EP.

>Task Actions.
You roll when you start the action. regarding if it's a failure:
>If a character fails on a Task action test roll, they work on the task for a minimum period equal to 10 percent of the timeframe for each 10 full points of MoF before realizing it’s a failure.
The worse they fail, the longer they spend on the taks before realizing it's a failure.

>Exotic Weapons
Exotic weapons are all weapons that don't fall under the other weapon categories. The skills list things like blowguns, crosbows, javelins etc as examples.
Regarding the lack of a range: designer oversight I suspect.

>Railguns and silencers.
You cannot put a silencer on a railgun, but a railgun is not silent.
What a silencer/suppressor does IRL, is slow down the bullet to be low supersonic speeds and reduce the noise of the expanding gasses leaving the barrel via a set of baffled chambers.
A railgun accelerates its projectile through a Lorentz Force driven slide. The noise it makes is the projectile breaking the sound barrier. You could probably mess with a railgun as such that the projectile isn't accelerated to supersonic speed, but by then you negate all the advantages of a railgun.

You better be playing a neotenic.

>>47708451
>Designer oversight, most likely.
So what do I do?

>Regarding AoE size
Where does it talk about uniform AoE? Further more, I still need to know how long smokes/gasses take to spread/dissipate, it doesn't say in the gear section.

>The worse they fail, the longer they spend on the taks before realizing it's a failure.
Ok, but says who? What if the character in question is getting shot at? They're perfectly exposed. Wouldn't you bail on whatever it is you were doing? And wouldn't getting wounded in the process make even a successful test a failure along with extending the test? How long would someone stay and do something while every bullet they take extends how long it will take before they call it quits? It just seems silly.

>Exotic weapons are all weapons that don't fall under the other weapon categories. The skills list things like blowguns, crosbows, javelins etc as examples.

But where are those? I have yet to see any stats on the above mentioned weapons.

>You cannot put a silencer on a railgun, but a railgun is not silent.

Well, at least one question was solved XD

Have them not know each other in character if you can.

When a player finds a clue, hand them an index card describing what the clue is and who it potentially points to.

The corpse was indeed pummelled before it died, but the wound that did it in was a slice to the throat. Who has slashing weapons? Who has bludgeoning weapons? What could be used to cause the damage nearby? Who could lift it? Who could reach it?

Think it all through well and of course, the most important thing is to have them all be in separate areas when the murder happens or have been away from the group at some point for some reason before the body is discovered and none of the players should find the body.

>>47708059
Don't, try listening to Friday night quests season 5 and their aftermath episode for how to make a mystery adventure.
Hell, just listen to FNQ for pointers on being a better GM

I do an investigation check

Everything about WH40K is pretty boring besides the orkz.

It is all edgy try-hard nonsense, but at least the greenskinz are having some fun with it all.

You know what 40k needs? Skaven. A giant space craft modeled off the Doom Wheel, Ratling gun tech updated to the wacky future shit.

>in a universe with unlimited possibilities

>a faction with a infinite scale of options

Maybe you just have a shit imagination.

Of course.
If their head explodes like an overripe melon they weren't a daemon.
