Lannie, from the east side. She says he's having bad dreams about birds!

Yeah doc, I gotta problem with these quest threads. They useta be on the teegee but now they ain't, and I got nothin' to complain about now 'cept for all the elf princess is actually a prince theads. What should I do?

>>47118932
It doesn't, as there's no real taxonomic difference between frogs and toads and therefore both are welcomed in the kingdom of Anura.

REEEEEEEE

Have you ever watched The Birds?

>>47117410
Strap small rocks to them to the point that they can barely fly, walk them near the demon army and commence kamikaze flights.

>>47117410
Do I get the secondary power of multitasking?

>>47117143
If you nerf or ban them, you're missing the point.

They're that powerful for a reason: They're actually about as good as things *should* be for the level of risk/reward and the difficulty of mobs at those levels.

What you SHOULD do is buff non-casters instead. They're the ones under the power curve. Alternatively, instead of nerfing spells, restrict their availability instead. Make getting the stronger abilities more difficult.

>>47117143
Dont ban any of them. Learn to be a dm who can roll with unknowns and allow people to have fun.

Anyone else find it weird, funny, sad or all of these things that by the time the game is actually out we've already pretty much discussed the core book material to death?

It's almost as though that thing Holden said about the leak wearing out the hype too soon wasn't complete bullshit after all. On other hand, given the time between the backer pdf release and the full core book release, /tg/ still would've had about a six months to discuss the core book material to death anyway.

>>47137936
Maybe building a business around hype is a bad idea?

Introducing the MGCYOA Supplementary Combat System v1.1!

Created at roughly the same time as AMGC, the SCS allows players to easily take characters made in the CYOA v1.4 and use them in Quests and long-running campaigns alike.

This PDF covers the basics of magical girls and sets the groundwork for future updates (which will include Patrons, DMGs, and Monster Girls). Additionally, plans have already been made to update alongside the CYOA v1.5 update which will be coming soon.

Currently Missing from the current PDF:
>Hammerstorm - (Active) - Any number of items and/or weapons in your inventory - Apply the effect(s) of all items used for this spell's cost to a Target at Far range or closer. Additionally, deal damage equal to the minimum damage possible for any weapon(s) used for this spell's cost to that Target.

>Mega link with the soon-to-come expansions to the SCS... coming soon

Dungeon world is shit. Why would you post this?

Wow, I'm impressed with the depth of thought you've put into your suggestions for cover art.

>>47115084
I've played none of them but also heard (at least mostly) good things.

I recall some complaints that Fantasy AGE doesn't really address certain complaints with how DragonAge (the predecessor system) deals with spellcasting, though I also don't remember exactly what those complaints were supposed to have been.

I'm interested to see /tg/'s take on this lineup. Also, bump.

Torchbearer is horse shit. I read it very thoroughly as did one of my players. I DMed a few long sessions with open-minded and experienced rpg players. Nobody had fun. The combat system is the worst any of us had ever seen. Doesn't help that 1/2 of the design team, Luke Crane, is a notorious prick who literally says "you're doing it wrong" if you don't like his broken, unplaytested game.

>>47115197
I haven't played but I get the feeling that it's definitely one of the OSR style games where it's definitely about a different type of fun. There's a fine line between 'restrictive' and 'streamlined' I think.

Did some more digging into SotDL and it looks like just my cup of tea in gameplay. The custom setting I'm working on has a lot of takes from the Soulsborne games, and given that Warhammer has a certain air of deadliness, SotDL seems to lend itself to what I want to do.

Gurps
It's a game grounded in physics tests and extensive iterative playtesting. Very fair and logical.
Since I've started using it I haven't found another I've preferred to use instead, for any genre.

>>47114963
I'm a bit of a GURPSfriend myself. Still curious about the choices of others. I've been mulling over giving Fate Core a shot, but it still doesn't sit quite right with me in some ways.

>>47113341
Also, if anyone has links they can reccomend on everyday life under a dictatorship that would be welcome.

I mean, if you play Paranoia full on seriously (which is a thing if I recall correctly) it comes pretty close I guess. Not sure if there's a 1984 specific setting/rulebook floating about in the PDF share thread, or even in existence.

If you dug a bit into independent news sources you'd find you're already playing one.

>Be elf
>Rest of the party gets mad that I'm racist towards drow
>Rest of the party don't know they lurk the woods at night looking for innocent children to kidnap and turn into slaves
>Rest of the party doesn't know they have a ritual where they drain your blood and replace it with drow blood and then you BECOME a drow
>Rest of the party doesn't know that drow are literally a corrupted twisted warps elves who are now a literal personification of perversion and suffering
>Rest of the party believes these drow "refugees" who are "fleeing from oppression" are "good people" and not an invasion force


Literally the last elf character I played 100% believed all these things despite every drow we encountered being a refugee, escaped slave, or just a straight up honest hard-working citizen of the kingdom.
Worse still, 99% certain we're going to the Underdark within the next session or two.

You put one in a stompah and convince him its him

>>47112989
The problem there is that you can't do that much with a stompa, other than having it be a stompa.
