Depends on your setting.

But in my setting they have non described sex.
Like "roll if you seduce her. Ok you made it, you have sex. Next morning"

And where did the pic comes from? I want to know what troubles his mind. He looks so sad.

URealms Guy has kinda gone down hill.

Pig orcs are nice, it's easy to take advantage of different aspects of either pig or orc to make them appealing or repulsive.

>>47317769
I prefer Tolkien's orcs when they were drawn my Ian Miller.

Play some 4e or Strike!

Enjoy your awesome grid-based tactics.

>>47313077
Strike! is what you're probably looking for. The class archetypes all support each other nicely.

>>47313077
Have a timed goal to do something aside from beating up the enemies, with the enemies serving as obstacles.

Have lots of terrain effects that make positioning more interesting and important.

Have the enemies have a timed objective that the players have to stop them from accomplishing.

Set up a convoluted situation where the first side to die wins, and watch the hilarity.

One of the enemies is a spy, the players know this, but don't know which, and the spy can't risk outing themself unless they're sure the players will will, and they don't want to kill him.

Have a fight in a massive crowd of bystanders.

A god of chaos is bored and decides to show up, and randomly chooses one type of attack this turn that heals instead of deals damage, or vice versa.

A god of law is very concerned about what's happening and shows up, smiting anyone who hits below the belt or uses anything that even RHYMES with "pocket sand".

Two words: Conveyor Belts.

And I'm out of ideas. Hope this helped.

By not playing D&D or playing the casting classes that don't use vancian magic.

>>47307659
That depends on your definition of more interesting. Do you want constant fireball throwing or more nuanced rituals? Personally I feel like constant fireball throwing isn't terribly interesting, but I'm sure others feel as though it's the most fun.

>vancian
>inb4 you're pretending what D&D does is anything close to Vancian casting anymore

>>47307731
Fireball throwing isn't bad, but it should be one of a wizard's many utilities. Something closer to a cost system like in video games where you only have a certain amount of mana that can be used(Regenerating some over time) might be a worthwhile way of doing it. Having to actually use mediums such as wands and staves to enhance casting would work too, each with its own benefits and drawbacks.

Well having read these I think the thing that got to me was how quick the progression was. I expect in that setting you would have a lot of people who didnt really know what they were doing. Fighting technique would redevelope latter, I would expect a lot of desperate melees and small group engagements. Sure there would be people who knew proper technique and tactics, but that takes time to proliferate. I also dont think they would return to old lone em up style warfare. Assuming military personnel or even enthusiasts survived I would image they would advocate more modern guerilla tactics, though it wouldn't translate over perfectly since we dont have modern arms. Weapons would be shit for a while while we rediscovered how to do things, I would not be at all suprised to see jerry rigged spears and clubs and whatnot in a lot of cases.

It would be both amusing and rage inducing. I could imagine some of us getting to 7 or 8.

But it wouldn't be half as bad as Age of Sigmar.

Someone fight me right now.

Nth for a flat "this is the number you need to roll or exceed" stat system would be better than the current system for both WS and BS

>>47315477
Because /tg/ is even more spergy than /a/.

The definition of what counts as "getting shit done" has changed, not what /tg/ actually does.
Nowadays, when shit gets done, there's always some little bitch going "But it was just a core group of people who did most of the work, not /tg/ as a whole", which is how it has always been.

we're not a fucking singing board?
I'm sorry but building a tabletop game or /tg/ related vidya is a lot mork work than singing a faggy song, not trying to disrespect /a/ cause they did at least make Katawa Shoujo but come on it's incomparable

First for best Father/Daughter duo

>>47309996
The players (except the one whos chaarcter it was) got so involved in the teamup between the Robot King of Sweden, Ravus the Dark Sorcerer, and Dr Demento, and their subsequent invasion, it legitimately took them by surprise that Dr Demento turned out to be a former teammate super scientist in a wheelchair who got sucked into an immortality hole with a roman god of terror.

I mostly managed to pull off a 'the masked guy was your dead partner all along' scheme. Still proud.

don't want to post any current/future plot ideas because one of my players is in this thread chain.

>>47309996

I've always wanted to run a supers game right on the cusp of powers appearing. I always enjoy the idea of the players actively shaping the world not because they're powerful, but just because it's early enough that a strong enough fart could shift things. You failed to protect the city, public perception has shifted against supers in general! etc.

Post these questions on the SJgames.com forums, they'll take good care of you.

Let me put it this way.

Average human soldier, statted out not only in his career but also non-military stuff like school education, hobbies and other variations is roughly 100/-50 for total 150 points available to be spent on stuff.

How exactly will your ass manage to acquire 20 rifle and 90 brawl with so little points?

Next, GURPS is 3d6 roll under system, that means you have to roll UNDER your skill number to succeed.
If skill is 12, you have to roll 12 or less on the 3d6.

Average of 3d6 is 11-13, as such skill level of 12 means that the person performs this skill professionally, for money or good enough to earn money.

Average infantry soldier would shoot his rifle at skill level 12-13. Special Forces would go for 14-16. Secret Government Hitmen can reach 18-20, but 20 is considered "The best person alive."

On topic of defaults, since you've never shot the gun before, you're either shit at it or your dexterity is good enough to let you not be shit. This appears in many systems such as DnD with it's weapon proficiencies. You will not be as good as a trained soldier the first time you picked up a gun. Neither will you be a good speaker if you lack Charisma, can't speak fluently and pleasantly and don't know the tricks of guiding the conversation to your benefit.

>If I wanted to play as a normal human being, I would need to put points into drive, despite not being a good driver, despite not driving for very long, and despite the fact that the game isn't focused on driving cars, just to ensure that my character isn't completely inept when behind the wheel.

No you won't. To recieve driving license literally everywhere you have to pass driving school. A point in driving skill equals that. If your character doesn't have this point, that means he never learned how to drive and thus is inept at it.

>>47308899
You should read Skills chapter instead of pretending it never was exexplained.

I want to buy into standard because I have 0 standard cards

On ebay right now there are a few decks. One is a Company deck with the infinite combo with brood mother

Another is RG eldrazi ramp with 4x ulamog

Are any of these decks tier 1? Which of these decks are more brainless, or more fun to play as I get more into standard?

>>47305180
more importantly, what will deteriorate less in value

Ulamogs, World Breakers, DL Atarkas

OR

Collected Company, Eldrazi Displacer, Slyvan Advocate, Reality Smasher

>>47305180
Go with coco

Why is it so hard to kill people with guns in this game? i swear to god, people are constantly hitting with guns but don't do enough to kill because of the autistic way that successes work in combat. You have like a 90% chance of hitting someone if you have a 5 dice pool but only like 10% chance of putting them down in one shot.

What next, a group of Begotten who have been re-purposed into weapons by the Seers?

>>47301716
Disappearing socks. You can laugh all you want, but every day in usa alone approximate 1 tonn of matter vanish into nothingness.

V3.05 is fine if you don't have more than 3 eva units.

Any more is suffering.

Also don't make an angel that litetally can't be hit. Give +1 difficulty modifier to angels if your players have positron weapons.

>>47258810
I'll have exactly 3 units, and we were planning on using V3

Why the extra difficulty modifier vs. positron? Are they that good?

>>47258853
Ranged weapons poop on angels and positron is the best ranged weapon. Also the best shield.
