>Who the shit made this?
Yes, its shit.
Not only that but this
>>Hardest rules ever
should be
would you complain if the game was complex.

The thing is no one specifically want hard rules, people want something that on their opinion is a good gameplay, but some will prefer simpler games, even if that leads to worse gameplay

>>46998727
not only that but it has the choice
"chess is too cliche?"
in theory the picture would finds pecifically what I want to me, but there, the picture is wanting me to decide if I want some specific game or not

The king wants a cake.

Make one.

You're playing that MAID game. Your senpai is literally Hitler.

The players are all working as rent-a-cops in Shadowrun (or similar setting where players are usually guns for hire.) They are in a taskforce that was formed to stop a rampaging group of mercenaries who are doing a lot of property damage, leaving behind a huge trail of bodies and generally behaving like typical murderhobo players.

The GM makes a briefing by searching a sufficiently outrageous story about an RPG session and turning it into a police report.

People like pointy ears.

Because sci-fi is (at least to some point) just fantasy with a different paint job

It didn't make me more attractive or confident. It made me realize I was a leader, though... sort of. I was doing it for years before a girl in the group (who is currently married to another player) pointed out how things just didn't seem to happen without my presence or approval. Like, if we were planning to see a movie, I would be the one to pick the theater and time.

We're all older adults now (the group has been playing together since we were kids in 1986) so that's not hardly the case any more. Getting married, having kids.. if you're still following at that point, turn in your man card.

>>46996892
More confident, yes, but not really in general, just in similar types of social situations.

Yes.

Depends on the setting

I think we're done here.

A suggestion make a inheritcance system or something similar to floors, while flawed it makes it so that returning players have some sort of benefit come back to the game with a fresh char.

Make customization of custom items and mabye the chance for custom abilities to suit a players play-style.

>>46996121
What about a sort of destiny/lineage system, similar to the Llama bank in floors? If someone has the tripcode for the items then they can use any recovered on character death.

Also, with how the mechanics behind recipes and new item level functions, characters would be able to target the weapon traits or skills directly and just wish to add something onto it. This could be done by adding any new variable to the mix, such as a monster part that contains flammable fluid, or a piece of equipment that is innately lighter than it should be. Other stuff like that.

In essence, the recipe list would turn into a 'place two items or more in here, choose features and skills, get new item based on the combination and choices made' system instead of just slapping two items together and hoping they become better.

>>46996433
While that is a good idea and i appluad you for that, honestly i do not believe that the linieage system is a good idea mabye make it like a veteran system where the more your char lasts before death they may recieve bonuses such as possible starting items or a starting skill.
Another one would be to improve ranged combat, it seems honestly very dull at the moment compared to melee mabye enhance ranged combat or simply make it more rewarding to use it rather than simply attacking from a distance.
Such as mabye add ranged skills or a ranged race or class of sorts to make it seem more rewarding as not only does the for example the grand-blade can outdo the average long iron. Plus the long iron requests ammo maybe make ammo or ranged weapons more customize or more rewarding.

One last one would be to improve the elemental stone system it seems just a buff at the moment something you use as a sort of stepping stone.
Mabye focus more on the elements mabye make a sort of magic system although seeing so far i doubt a magic system may work but it is a suggestion at the least.

I know this is a bait thread, but ill bite.

The apples had gone sour. Sure they could have given us a fresh batch, but it would still be apples. Ive already had too many apples, and was looking for something different.

They handed me these oranges. These oranges are not to everyone's tastes, but they were oh so delicious to me, and others.At this point I hadnt realized how sour those apples were when I tasted one just for old time's sake. Fuck the apples. I'm all about the oranges, now they announced 2 more flavors of oranges, one is even sort of an apple flavor. I am looking forward to it.

Banshee's fight to kill, so it would be as fast and efficient as possible. Wych's fight for the entertainment of a crowd, so they'd probably play with their enemy for a bit, and also throw in some unnecessary acrobatics and maybe some sexualised stretching and bending over.
In addition, the Banshee's pretty much would say nothing during the entire fight, while Wych's would be laughing, giggling, and mocking their enemy for whole time.
Lastly, because Banshees are used to wearing armour, their defensive style would revolve around ducking and deflecting enemy strikes, whereas Wyches, who are used to wearing little-to-no armour would base their defensive style around flips, spins, and rolls so they don't have to block or deflect, which risks the enemy weapon still coming into contact with you.

>In addition, the Banshee's pretty much would say nothing during the entire fight
I imagine they'd be saying RRRRAAAAAAAAAAH or REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE a suitable amount.

>>46994997
>the Banshee's pretty much would say nothing during the entire fight

Assuming they are in their war persona - which they'd have to be to count for this scenario - they would be fully in character, emulating the Crone's banshees. And those things aren't the quiet types.
>But no Banshee mask
They lose the weaponized scream, but they'll be screaming nonetheless.

You wrote it like a shitpost, but it's still a legit question.

>>46994895
well? what noise dose the engine make and how dose it keep running? and what the fuck powers it.

My group went with the idea that some are promethium based and sound like chainsaws while others have an electric motor and merely whirr like a hedge trimmer on steroids.

And the motors don't get clogged with flesh and other assorted material because the design is highly advanced. Like honestly, the design is thousands of years ahead of what we have on Earth. That's the thing with the Imperium in WH40k, they have some really advanced tech which they can produce and it's almost mundane for them while other stuff they use is outdated because they don't entirely comprehend how all their stuff works and the schematics/rituals for building stuff aren't being shared to everyone.

I mostly do Warstore, but I also still know the login for a wholesale account so that's the biggest reason.

Playing with strangers is a good way to git gud and not subject your friends to rookie DM mistakes.
Just don't let the inevitable alpha nerd push you around with his rules lawyering.

i said i would think about it and get back with him.

Check out some Hellboy. Sure all he has to do is smack the bizarre things but that's because he's big mojo. Everyone else has a damn hard time dealing with it all, even if they know what hocus pocus is supposed to deal with the nonsense that's going on. It's often the case that there's some trick making the case complicated.

In my CoC one-shots, I always tried to come up with something completely new, that still evoked the atmosphere and feel of Lovecraft's works. Minimal explanation, few answers, just terror and frenzied attempts at survival and slap dash solutions. The entire genre is about fear of the unknown and unknowable, which basically precludes using established, familiar threats, unless you can angle them in a way that evokes the same response.

Kenneth Hite does some good work on both reinventing stale Mythos creatures and providing new or underused ones in his Ken Writes Anout Stuff work.

Isn't this what all Paladins are? We literally murder hundreds if not thousands of individuals In the name of our God(s).

If we're not seriously devout than go fuck a cucumber you veggie lover.

Wow, so after 2 years, Night Shift is finally happening? About time! But I'm glad that it's finally coming. Can't wait to see more.

>>46994025
Yep!

Thanks for the support.

It's getting late here. I'll probably stay up for another hour, and if the thread doesn't get much activity before then, I'll just repost this tomorrow.

>>46993837
Holy. Shit.

I have never been more hyped. I was in those threads from the start, and that setting turned out so much better than I'd ever hoped... the fact that you guys are going ahead with this is fucking fantastic.
