sup /tg/
So this weekend I want to run a game that's sort of a caricature of /pol/. If that sentence doesn't make it obvious, don't read on if you're easily offended.
I have lots of ideas for the campaign setting. Basically what I have in mind is imagine a world where Trump/Hillary or Hillary/Trump become president/vice president, and take every single doom prognostication people are saying now and ramp them up to 11.
At its most basic, I'm thinking it should be a low fantasy post apocalypse setting. I've thought of a few factions: the Mexicans, tumblrites, the MAGA-ites, the Jews (lizard people). At some point I want the players to have to get past the 400 foot high great wall of Trump in the Arizona wastes.
The main problem I have is coming up with a system that fits. I want something pretty simple; definitely no more complicated than Labyrinth Lord. Ideally it should be around the complexity of Joints and Jivers (not joking), but with the capacity for a little bit of a dungeon crawl.
So, do you fa/tg/uys have any recommendations for a good system for this nonsense? Also if you have good setting ideas, I'm all ears.

This. RaHoWa is so far right that it can be played perfectly straight or as a parody and you don't have to change anything about it.

Discussion of the Towergirls CYOA, RPG, Setting, or Video Game welcome here!
Everyone welcome.
FAQ:
Q - What is Towergirls?
A /tg/ creation. Read more here.
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Tower_Girls
Q - How do I play?
A - It's a CYOA, there are no established mechanics for the rescue. All the pages to the game are in the imgur album linked in resources.
Q - Why aren't/are we we working on; Fan Gen II/Knights/combat mechanics/etc.
A - No. We recognize that spreading out our efforts is what originally killed the project. Accordingly, we're focusing on just one thing at a time and finishing them out.
Q - Hey, can we make a pricness about X fetish?
A - It generally comes down to what people like. Propose the idea and see if others want it.
Q - Is there a map/unified setting?
A - Nope. Though proposals have been made, nothing concrete has been created.
Q - Can I post fanart/fanfiction here?
A - Go right on ahead, just make sure it's within the global rules.

So you're running a Wizardly cabal, with the understanding that members will assist in teaching each others' apprentices a solid foundation in the fundamentals of the craft. What spells would be included in the typical curriculum up to and including, say, 3rd level spells? Bear in mind that the cabal isn't necessarily interested in blowing everything up.

so some guy made a bunch of 3d print models for minis and put them up on blender
http://www.coveragemail.com/technology/fan-creates-printable-3d-models-for-dungeons-dragons-miniatures/
The official meme of this thread is:dragonborn are a meme race
All of the basic utilities: mage hand, prestidigitation, mend
A couple of simple offensive spells: fire bolt, magic missile
Some countermeasures to the above: shield, mage armour
Apart from that, probably depends on the exact school (fnar fnar) of magic being learned but most likely the basic spells from each.

>Which rules should I follow?
If you don't already have some homebrew version with friends, follow the MTGO card pool and banlist (and please spread this to your friends that start playing with you). Currently the only place Pauper is officially supported by Wizards is online, and they have a card pool and banlist, therefore that is the format we should be using offline on paper as well, since decks and cards can transfer to games between each other with no confusion.
>WAHHH THATS TOO HARD WHERE...
http://www.mtg-hunter.com
The bottom left has a box, select MTGO Pauper, all cards in the card pool and banlist are taken into account.
>What deck should I use?
Ask in the thread!
>Is MTGO worth it?
If you have no local paper competition, but want to play a vast amount of Pauper, it can't be beat, even if it is a clunky GUI, you learn quickly.
Some good decks for newbies include but are not limited to:
>Burn
>Elves
>Goblins
>Stompy
>Slivers
>Affinity
>Mono U control
>UB Teachings
i do care to be h
>>47075166
No, no one cares.
>>47075230
But I do care to but just don't have any idea for discussion. I don't playing MTGO, just sometimes paper pauper with friends, mainly spending pauper-time on drafts and trying to make this damn pauper EDH deck for weeks. It's sad that pauper is dead on /tg/

First for dude where's my fighter?
THIS THREAD HAS BEEN FORTIFIED!
Secons for put genestealer back.
How should realistic space combat look like?
slow and uninteresting

Massively long range compared to most sci-fi, minimum mobility beyond intentional velocity alterations, computers are doing the calculations and shooting.
Boring.
This thread is about RPG's, but you could apply it to board games and card games as well.
I live in an area that has the highest concentration of FLGS in the U.S. Many of them open early to host RPG sessions. I spent another Saturday traveling betwixt game stores, taking a look at all the different RPG groups meeting up. I was immediately reminded of all my times on roll20, all my times traveling to Gen Con, running games at my house, playing in games at others houses.
Why are RPG players so maladjusted? Bad employment, bad hygiene, difficulty in social situations, bad physical condition, bad control of emotions, extremely weak willpower against addiction.
I have well-adjusted friends, but they only want to go out hiking or to play sports, and aren't interested in "traditional" games when I try and invite them.
I just want to play or run a game with a human being who bathes, doesn't look at his phone constantly, and is able to have a conversation.
Where is my dysfunction, what am I doing wrong in my search?

>y gaemers so gross?

RPGs are for people who have excluded from everything else in life, it's all they have left.
>>47132829
You're committing the same classic blunder that people looking for players in gamefinder threads are so fond of. That being looking to play with people that nobody else wants to play with.
Invite your coworkers or classmates, see if it sticks. People who you actually want to be around, rather than people who play X.
After their shameful defeat at the hands of the axolotl, Aimee and Escamas were arguing with each other about what they should do next.
Unfortunately for them they were cut short by a strange man in a white garb.
The man who almost looks human is wearing a set of pristine white clothes that resemble that of a male flamenco dancer.
"Who the fuck is this clown?!"
Aimee erupts in her usual, vulgar tone.
Being so humiliated for a second time by the same hollow really managed to piss her off.
"My, my señora.
There's no need to be hostile.
I'd hate it if I had to kill a woman, especially a wounded one."
The man responds with cockiness emanating from his words.
"The fuck did you just say?!"
She lunged at the man standing in front of her.
But the second she would have made contact the man disappeared and then reappeared behind the attacking adjuchas.
Aimee screams at the top of her lung, since her arm was cut down almost in its entirety.
The man is shaking his head and swings his arm to the side, partially removing the blood from his hand.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Look at the mess you made you crazy chica.
Was that really necessary?"
"FUUUUUUUU-"
Aimee is incapable of responding to the man who just cut off her arm.
The man in white turns to Escamas now.
"I hope you'll be smarter than this loco."
"W-what do you want from us?"
"Oh it's nothing serious.
Just tell me where is the person who beat you up so well..."
Meanwhile at the great quartz tree.
After your attackers were driven off you started with cleaning up the mess they made.
Luckily for you the garden area was not harmed but the surrounding area was filled with debris.
As you are lifting one particularly heavy boulder you try to talk with Yata whom you managed to convince to help with the renovations.
"So what did you do with those guys before you killed them?"
"Oh I never killed anyone, they merely expired.
There is only so much live dissection that can be performed on an individual."
You frown as he said that.
It's true that those men were your enemies but not even they deserved torture.
"Are you saying you tortured them?"
"Hmm?
Oh Heavens no.
They were injected with a powerful numbing agent.
Not one of them felt a thing as I worked on them.
My research simply didn't require their suffering."
"You keep saying "research" and "examination".
Just how thoroughly can you analyze something with only your eyes?"
"While it's true that what I do is quite limited but I'm a resourceful man.
And I assure you, you'll like what I came up with."
After you cleared all the rubble and healed every minor injury the hollows sustained you feel exhausted once more.
With everyone heaving heavily Alistair comes to you for a chat.
"You know it's ironic.
I came here because you said things would be different but not a thing changed."
"Give it some time.
This was an unforeseen event."
He is simply standing over you with a look of exhaustion on his face.
It's clear that his heavy injuries still haven't healed.
"So tell me, could you always heal?"
"Pretty much yes.
But I wasn't always aware of it."
"That's funny, you are the most savage person I've known.
And now here you are, fixing my wounds for me."
"Just don't get used to it.
The next time you get your ass handed to you I'll kick you while you are down for being so useless."
That gets a chuckle out of him.
"I'll try to be more careful next time."
>>47131910
Hey Spooky.
>>47131909
No.
"After we rest for a while I'll get my boys ready for some hunting.
If that's okay with you."
He says.
"Actually I had something else in mind.
Just this one time you won't have to go out for hunting."
"What do you mean?"
"You'll see."
With that you stand up and dust yourself off before heading out to find Neliel.
You'd like to inform her about giving Alistairs men a little compensation for their efforts.
But as you are going to her you can feel a presence up above, near the branches of the surrounding quartz trees.
With a flash of movement the shadowy figure jumps from branch to branch.
It's so fast you have trouble following its movements with your eye.
Until you see it trip over and land head first in the dirt that is.
Everyone in the camp who witnessed it looks nonplussed at the intruder.
When he manages to stand up he simply starts coughing from all the dust he managed to send flying after his impact.
"I-I the *cough cough* great Dordoni *cough cough*...
Oh Dios mÃo! *cough cough*"
You can feel all the sweat on your head gather into one huge droplet around your right temple as you keep staring at this embarrassing spectacle.
When he finally stops choking on dirt the man regains his composure and strikes a quite goofy pose.
"I the great Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio have come before you!
You may now marvel at my presence friends!"
"Who?"
Alex asks while she is leaning to the side so much she is almost looking down.
"Gah!"
The man kneels down and quietly mumbles random stuff to himself.
Things like "How can this be?" and "How come they don't know me?".
But you aren't really sure what to make of this guy.
For one he doesn't look like a hollow, well except for his hole and the tiny fragment of his mask on his forehead.
He actually looks almost like a human now that you think about it.
>Ask him politely to go away.
>Introduce yourself and ask him what he wants.
>You were about to eat anyway, invite him.
>Other? (write-in)
How cost efficient would it be to 3d print a whole army?
>>47130039
Probably still cheaper than GW's over priced models.
Now I'm wondering how much of an Army I could substitute with Gundam models and still have something usable.
I'm guessing it'd have to be Tau.
Another question would be if they could be instantly colored?

this one
>>47127666
Eager for the Kingkiller jump, accepting that you probably have shit to do beforehand.
This one, it's got an edition and the actual PDF.
Jumpers, have you ever created a race?
How come /tg/ doesn't love battlestar Galactica? Aside form the shitty if somewaht forseeable ending that I won't spoil, it's a very solid show, both the old and the new one. Even more so compared to most of it's conterparts in the 'eternally in space' theme.
>>47124047
I couldn't make it through the third season, it just got so stupid.
The first and parts of the second season were gold though
>>47124047
The old one's pretty good, the new one was basically a flag carrier for the new wave of politically correct "progressive" bullshit in media disguised as creativity, though. It was basically unbearable from the word go.
The game's pretty fun. It's not my favorite hidden role game ever, but it has a lot of interesting decisions even after you figure out who the Cylons are, which is refreshing.
What are people's thoughts on this system?
Is it worth playing?
Best of the D20 systems, but unfortunately still D20.
>>47114805
My brother keeps pushing this system for our next game. The more I read it, the more it looks like 3.pf with lots of tweaks, but even more systems piled on.
On the plus side it seems to address the Caster/Martial power rift to some extent, and much of the extra bloat seems somewhat optional.
I lean towards more RP centered games but FC seems like a better option than yet another PF game, which is what most of our players seem to crave. And it may open their minds to the idea that the TTRPG world has more than just various flavors of DnD in it.
Really depends on your crunch level tolerance, I suppose.
>>47114893
Sums it up. Extremely versatile and well thought out system, it's my conversation therapy for 3aboos.

Christ alive I hate thief players who treat it as they have to steal everything that isn't nailed down. It's far better when they are more opportunistic.
>>47112123
Thinking about it, he shares something in common with every "That guy" I've ever played with.
They think they're funny, but they're not and they try far too hard to make the rest of the group, who are usually legitimately amusing, laugh
>>47112123
Also in the Colosseum
>I want to pick pocket a key off the guards
>You attempt to, but there is no key
>after the battle, you attempt to pick pocket the guards
>There is no key
I get that sometimes it's nice to have outside of the box ways of getting around a problem, but he wasn't getting the message that clearly trying to pick pocket a key isn't one of them.
>>47112972
>>47112123
That's just shitty DMing. Clearly he wants to pick pockets. He thinks it would be fun to pick someone's pocket, get something useful, and help the party. Why don't you want him to have fun? Do you somehow lose something if he gets to play a pickpocket?
My MtG July Ban Wishlist:
Modern: Kitchen Finks is banned. Birthing Pod is unbanned.
Legacy: Chalice of the Void is banned. Jace, the Mind Sculptor is banned. Survival of the Fittest is unbanned.
What do you think should be banned/unbanned?
>Jace banned
lolwut
>>47109098
Jace is the card that pushes the Miracles decks over the top. Banning it weakens the Miracles deck while still keeping the deck alive. Similar to how Cruise/Dig got banned to nerf Delver and Omni-Tell (respectively) decks.
>>47109084
>Survival of the Fittest
Shut up. That card can never come back. Only reason people want it back is because it was the only thing keeping the Oddysey Madness garbage alive.

>Humans wiped out Neanderthals before even using agriculture
So the question is, how do we justify the fact that these creatures still exist? Do they just spawn from the very earth if their numbers dwindle too much, like the old myth about flies and other lifeforms?
>>47126693
>>Humans wiped out Neanderthals
Actually recent studies suggest that we just fucked them out of existence.
Almost everyone of European decent has some Neanderthal in their blood. Shit the person with most was an asian man with 8.8% shared DNA with Neanderthal.
>>47126814
So are orcs, goblins, and kobolds too ugly to fuck into extinction?
>>47126693
Well in my opinion the Neanderthals are evil.
