>Nazi Elves

One of the Pixiv Fantasia stories had this, complete with airships and stuff. I think.

Well, first, don't make them moustache-twirling supervillains. What i would do is focus more on "we're superior because we work hard", not "fuck subhumans". They would focus more on being economical superpower, industry, not army, being their national pride.

About national pride - focus on it. Focus hard. Make elves almost never say "I", always make them say "We" (or "our Glorious Leader). Elves' long lives actually could play an important role here - long-lived people will be more conservative, with less movement at the helm.

I've encountered elves like that before...it was...interesting.

How many tau are we talking? A handful? Scouting party investigating other parts of the galaxy by hitching a ride with one of their partner races (Even Kroot ships can use warp travel). One or two ships? Warp storm fuckery. An entire fleet? No good way to explain that.

>>47025085
I was hoping an entire fleet - enough to explain a fairly large military force that wouldn't just get snuffed out as soon as looked at.

>>47025101
The Tau won the Jericho Reach campaign and gained control of the warp gate.

Does "any role-playing game" count?

>>47024709
If you had only played the original monopoly it wouldn't take as much time.

>>47024709
Just play Fortune Street instead, buddy.

I prefer GMs rolling behind a screen because I trust them to fudge the rolls only when it creates a better game, and I also prefer not being able to calculate the enemies' attack stats from the rolls.

I'm also a GM and have been doing most of my rolls behind a screen, but I've been experimenting rolling out in the open lately since I don't have a screen in my current game. I'm not sure yet, but I think I'll go back to rolling in secret.

>>47024676
Hiding your rolls from players just means that you don't trust them to not metagame or don't trust yourself to deal with whatever consequences a dice roll may bring.

I am a believer into live and let live when it comes to TT in both Roll and Role aspects of it, but it's a grand old waste of time to roll dice if you won't abide by them in my opinion. If you need something to happen because it's necessary for the plot, just have it happen. Unless your players are dice offisianados, aka autists, they won't begrudge you not having to roll for every little thing. Just avoid making situations happen where players have literally 0 chance to deal with something. Even if it's 1 out of a 100 to spot that trap, you should let them have it.

>>47024676
As a DM, I prefer to hide my rolls because I find it to be a great way to build tension. Same thing with not telling the players the dc for something or if they necessarily succeed.

He was as much a pussy as he was a dick.

>>47023914
Well, he did sing discord into Illuvatar's chorus because it wasn't a feature length solo about his dreamy voice.
Said discord pretty much fucked up everything from then on out.
So yeah, Special Snowflake extraordinaire.

I kill my half-brother. What of it?

>>47023827
Most uncreative post of the year right here.

>>47023796
I sure am glad quest have been moved for threads like this.

Science fantasy.

Some post-apocalyptic ones use old-fashioned arms & armor.

>>47023644
I can think of couple settings. As for genres - I'm not sure if I understand the question right but Space Fantasy and Post-Apocalyptic should be what you're looking for.

There's always GURPS, but that's a given.

Considering how crazy and 'lethal' gunpla battles are, Anima might be a start, but the most up to date rules are in Spanish with no official translation in sight.

>>47023458
Any rpg ever with mechas and mecha fighting? You just pretend it is toys duking it out instead.

>>47023343
>Ars Magica
You will dread botching a spell as much as your character does, as you roll 4 checks and compare to a table of time v warping score to resolve how fucked you are. Also all the forms use the accusative case, as they should, except for corpus(should be corporem)

>Savage Worlds
Nice clean generic system, simple to learn and easy to hack.

I live 3.5, but I hate most of its classes, especially in the PhB. Fighers, Rogues, and Monks are fine as concepts, but poor as classes.

I hate 4e, but I love that they supported almost all their classes. Everything is Core should be a guiding principle for all games.

>Chronicles of Darkness
Introducing un-resisted "this just happens" things. Like Primal Fury.

>40K RPG
It's a nice setting.

>>47022731
I got no help to give ya anon.
Sounds like you got your work cut out for you. Good luck.

Never rely on "caring" to motivate your posting. If you put your stuff here and have enough of a hook help will find you.

>>47022731
Quests, items, consumables, weapons, 'tek' and other stuff is not really that much of problem... You just need to sort out the basics of your campaign, is it goodwill fagotry of startrek? Is it epic stagnant power fantasy with lazerz and waprz like Star Wars? Industrial hell of Alien franchise?

My Half-orc Barbarian is 16 does that count?

>>47022590
Once the gamesmaster had the NPC raping my paladin that was a woman, and whereas no other man had happened to take her before she was "uh.....sire I am a virgin." So then she gave birth to Djeremy a boy playing same charachter transferred to another campaign. If gametime passes like realtime Djeremy is grown up now anyway.
(Does your own PC chara's live birth count as a child chara? The DM had me play him, didn't do much he was 2. )

>>47024297
Yes D&D standard fighter characters are legaly minors for a few years when they start out at 16.

Don't ignore the law, you will go to jail.

>>47022000
Just go to a store and buy into whatever games are reguarly played there
Problem solved

>>47022492
But then I have to deal with the general public and not my close dudes.

>get into board games, only play maybe once a month
What's wrong with that?

I've found it practical to use different entertainment for different stuff I do. I tend to play video games and read books for solo enjoyment. I play board games with groups, and am looking at a RPG for that as well.

If you have a local game store, they are great places to meet up for board game nights/RPG nights. No stress on one person hosting, and with board games it isn't a major issue if someone misses a session.

To answer your question, treadmill-equivalent floors.

>>47021803
It changes based on the episode, so it's hard to say, really. It's a very inconsistent piece of technology, even by Trek standards.
