>How would you handle this, fa/tg/uys?
By making up a better story next time, and also posting it with greentext as is the custom for things that never actually happened.

>I can believe you idiots made that racist joke, but I don't think I can play with a DM who abides that sort of racist shit.
I'm sorry you feel that way. There's the door.

>It should at least change their alignment if they shout racist things like that.
A player's alignment isn't decided by committee - its between the player and the GM. Again, if that is a problem for you, there's the door.

>rockets that are actually good in battle, but also have an impressive display like fireworks
Yes, those are swords fixed to the end of the rockets. Yes, that was historically a thing, and yes, it worked quite well in the 1700s and 1800s.

If you're at uni, do they have a gaming society?

am not. i dont know if they have something like that here, but i guess so, town´s like that.

You talk like a fag, try Craigslist

Legends of the Wulin or Weapons of the Gods might work, OP. Good luck with it.

Legends of the Wulin is literally built for this, and it does a damn great job once you get past the unnecessarily steep learning curve. The system is fantastic, but the editing of the book is so bad it can be hard to figure out.

When it comes to general Wuxia theme and tone, it has a lot of advice, references and recommendations for GMs, as does Weapons of the Gods. Even if you don't use the systems, they're well worth looking at for ideas.

Also interested in Wuxia. Can you recommend a few films/shows to get me started?

>One of the party members mentions something about "Duels at high noon"
>"Yeah, Yeah, plenty of fucking duels, just for you Dave."
>Keep thinking about the word duels as a drive home.
>Just something about that word.
>Then it hit me.
>Call up the rest of the party, tell them I have an idea for all our characters.
>Everyone gets on board with the plan.
>Next session, everyone is strangely hyped. That DM assumes we're just excited for him.
>Games starts with no exposition, just "you are a bunch of lawmen/bounty hunters, clear out this bandito den."
>Doesn't even ask about our backstories, or even looks at the character sheets
>Generic bandito walks up to our characters and tells us to fuck off or get shot.
>I challenge him to a duel, right here and right now.
>If he loses, he and his gang fucks off back to Mexico, and if I lose we surrender and submit ourselves as prisoners.
>A charisma check later tells me that he accepts.
>"Very well, I pull out my deck of children's trading cards."
>DM looks at me like I just took a shit on his grandma's grave.
>As we all start to laugh, he slowly realizes that the entire party is a bunch of yugioh duelists.
>We even made the decks that our characters would use in universe and brought them with us.

We were all murdered by Indians five sessions in, but I'm amazed we lived this long with the tomb of horrors style bullshit he was throwing at us.

I shameless asked a GM once to retcon like half a campaign because I didn't like my character choice.

To my credit, I had chosen to play a wizard my first time playing Pathfinder, and all the steps involved with spell selection and save-calculations was grinding the game to a halt.

>>47351723
Half of the campaign ?
Jesus.

hard mode: no furries?

All non-Ultramarines, are you even trying?
Step up or kill yourselves you worthless fucking faggots.

How's that "Imperial Truth" thing working out for you?

Turns out sticking your fingers in your ears closing your eyes and shouting lallalalalala I can't hear you doesn't actually work.

Fiasco would be a good choice, in my opinion.
Make your own playset for the spies, and write up new tables for the Tilt and Aftermath to fit the theme as you desire.

>>47349739
James Bond 007 ?
It's pretty old, but it has everything in your list (plus excellent chase rules, as far as I remember).

>>47349968
I'm unfamiliar with Fiasco, can you give a quick summary?

>>47349982
I'll see if I can find that online and read through it.

>>47349500
Probably both, unless we all die off somehow

The irremediable destruction of today's technological civilization is more likely than both your options.

1. Space travel takes thousands of our best and brightest working together on a labor of love. Even with billions in funding and our most envelope-pushing technology, we remain barely capable of a round trip to Luna. The costs to emigrate and settle there - or beyond - would be orders of magnitude more costly, including brain power and industrial commitment.

2. Digging a hole takes a strong back and a shovel.

You decide.

>>47348996
Not much, neck beards like neked womyn.

Less of it than can be pinned on pulp fantasy writers such as Poul Andersen, Tanith Lee, and the pinnacle of them all, Robert E. Howard. Fantasy painters such as Frazetta were painting the covers to their books.

You stupendous ignoramus.

>>47349075
>visual covers and visual-pin ups affecting visual designs and not literary words where women are usually sensibly armored

You're a dumb fuck, aren't ya?

>>47348963
You could reward good RP.

>>47349088
In what way? They already get XP every session.

>>47348963
Stop giving XP for killing things. Switch to leveling up when storyline objectives are achieved, or a set amount of XP per session with bonii for good rp.

If they'd rather not play, then I guess you'll have to re-evaluate what kind of game you're willing to run.

Here's you reply, I even included a picture.

On the off chance this isn't bait, even though I'm 95% sure it is, it's commonly accepted by everyone old enough to actually be on this board that alignments are an awful concept that needs to be done away with entirely, as well as every mechanic relying on them that can't be easily house-ruled into something functional.

>>47348739
If she loved them, she'd let them be themselves.

>>47348780
I'm not entirely sure what alignments are even used for in DnD these days aside from quickly describing monsters and intelligent items

>>47348146
Potentially GoT

It's apoc setting but I'm settling down to GM a game of Mutant: Year Zero. Players play as the first generation of mutants to be born in the wasteland, barely scraping by a living trying to balance food, culture, technology and warfare advancement projects.

Check it out, a lot of fun

GoT's the most recently published thing that comes to mind.

Exalted allows for army management, but doesn't have much when concerning resource management

If your group is attached to DnD, you could always dig up Birthright from 2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.

Otherwise if you want a sci-fi setting, you could try Star Without Number. It might be a bit sparse on resource management, but you got units and money.

Pt2.


I try to be a fun and relaxed guy and I genuinely like everyone at my club, but it's starting to feel like people only play me in the hopes of winning so they can say how good they are.
I haven't lost a game of AoS in about two months now. So people are starting to bring some really cheesy lists yet they still lose. I feel like a lot of them just aren't good at the game yet and make bad tactical plays, but I dont wanna be a fuckin dick and say that, or I'll be even more ostracized.

These guys still kick my ass in 40k pretty often so it's not like they're idiots either they just don't get AoS the same way I do right now, I think.


Sorry for the long ass two parter bitch fest, but I want your thoughts on this one. Am I the dick here, if so what do I do? If not how should I proceed? I don't want to start throwing games to appease anyone. I still have my pride, besides if I wanted to lose for 45min I'd play a game of league.

Kill yourself.

You're not a dick.
At this point: you "got gud". You are self rewarding mastery. So now, if you want to appear less the dick, you need to start losing.
Just repeat the Dwarf Fortress motto: "losing is fun". Deliberately throw a game. Yes, I am telling you to take a fall. Because the way you have fun is becoming un-fun for your fellow gamers. If you don't let them win periodically, they will stop playing against you, and then AoS will DIE in your gaming club.
It's like this: do you think your friendships are worth victory in a game of Monopoly? Are you willing to cheat at connect 4? Have you ever shouted "Look! A Bird!" And pointed and, while they were distracted, placed your Scrabble tiles? I doubt it. Now man up, put the kid gloves back on, and take a hit for the stability of your gaming group and the fun of all.
Hope I'm more helpful than >>47349132
Seriously you asshole, meme responses are not what people come to /tg/ for. Unless it's a stat me thread.
