Ain't no gods in the Star Wars galaxy. Just hokey religions.

I've got no clue. The last setting I played in was a homebrew one where the GM never designed any gods, but they supposedly still existed since there were clerics and paladins.

I'm pretty sure everything would play out exactly the same.

What >>46686962 did. Altho keep in mind that stuff like "dice+1d22+1d4" won't work, only uniform dice with one number addition as "dice+XdY+Z"

This. Lawful good vaginaings.

Alternatively, use my lawful good vagina to inspire and train a shota hero to grow up and challenge the BBEG, then enjoy my passionate groomed lover in my 30's while he's barely legal

fuck you this thread is MR to begin with so i'm going all in full trash fiteme

>your characters just discovered that they are the BBEGs waifu


All of our characters? At once? How does that work?

Full Thrust.
Or if you like the idea of symmetrical planning, but want lighter rules, X-Wing.

Traveller.

I haven't played a lot, but the fact that the all game revolve around one crew is cool.
Everybody has it's place, even the gunfight guy ; he can man the turrets, or ready the counter-boarding.

Storytime ?
>Free Trader PC ship close in on distress signal
>Obviously fake, pirates try to attack them.
>Free Trader only has one weapon, who cost a lot of money.
>Of course with unlucky rolls, after one round, the weapon is disabled.
>The pirates try to close in to board, but can't because the pilote of the FT is making it difficult.
>PCs said "Fuck it, we can't escape, we do not have weapon anymore, there is only one thing to do"
>"Ram" the pirate ship to board it.
>The NPC Highclass safari hunter they have aboard take his rifle to help.
>The pirate ship was in bad shape and with fewer crew than usual
>Violent fight, half the party is injuried, and one badly by the Aslan pirate captain.
>They loot the cargo, 90 tons of spice.
>I can see the dollar sign in their eyes.

Tl;dr :
The point in my story is that in traveller, if done right, space combat isn't juste "combat" ; it's more than just firing on another ship until it falls other or looks like a little sun ; it's about why and how wage combat.

Silent Death is a great hex based one.

of course, re-reading part 1, there are a few...

Yes, why wouldn't it be?
Any puzzle that has clear and consistent rules and sufficient clues can be solved.

But keep in mind that even 2d sudoku isn't just "randomly populate square, randomly remove X cells".
Cube sudoku is going to obviously be harder (..and ironically, trying to apply easily googled "how to make" guidelines from 2d sudoku will require you 4th dimensioning your cube in process)
Then shit gets even harder for hypercube sudoku.
And hyperhypercube? Insane.

But hey, lets try taking it step. by. step.

Gentlemen, how about we make a 3d cube sudoku?

>>46685674
>Gentlemen, how about we make a 3d cube sudoku?
Lets see then.

A cube is 9x9x9 in cells.
But it's not as easy as stacking nine squares.
This gives us only one axis of successful sudoku.
They must also work in other two axes.
That's quite a lot of cross-dependency.

Did you fa/tg/uys ever figure that out? I remember seeing a picture of a tesseract dungeon on here somewhere.

>>46685130
Talk to the DM about what kind of character to run.

Maybe there's a place for a well-informed guide for the party.
Maybe you just ought to be a mute mercenary.
Maybe the best option is to do something solo with the DM until their finished.

Rohypnol.

Alternatively, saturate yourself with another system's modules so your brain gets confused on the details. And deliberately don't think about this module.

>>46685130
Hit yourself in the head with a brick until you forget.
Alternatively, just chill the fuck out. Let other players take the initiative when doing shit and only use your metagame knowledge when absolutely necessary.

Or instead of being That Guy who read the entire book and metagames, you could decide to be That Guy who totally derails the DM's game.

>>46684280
A good amount of people decided that interactive storytelling is more fun when you have time to explore your character and the world without having to hard restart every week.

There are also people who are too attached to a particular self insert or waifu character, but I'm not going to get into that.

>Is there any game or group out there that can cater to my tastes?
Sure. You could take a look at Funnel World or just be straight with prospective players or DMs about what you expect or want from them.

>>46684280
>Roleplaying has gone to shit in my time. It's too influenced by video games. Table top should be it's own thing.

You're not going to get roleplaying being it's own thing when you want it to copy how roguelike and roguelite games keep killing off PCs until a player gets lucky.

If you want roleplaying to be different to video games, that means focusing on things that video games can't do. That means encouraging roleplay. Constantly killing off PCs discourages roleplay because players don't expect the PCs to live long, so they stop caring about anything beyond the statblock. A character that is only seen as a statblock is the stuff of video games.


>Is there any game or group out there that can cater to my tastes?

Probably. I hope you find a group that you enjoy.

>>46684280
>smart people are playing the game
>they notixe that the game is too clunky, and the same things can be done with much simpler crunch without losing the essentials
>they decide to modify it, so that it becomes less clunky
>the game gets streamlined, removing superfluous elements and adhering to KISS principle
>becomes more friendly to newcomers, because there are less crunch traps, meaning more stupid people can enjoy it
Wow, you are dropping all these truth bombs harder than your mom falls on her ass. It's like fucking earthquake here.

Just because stupid people can enjoy the game doesn't mean that the game is bad. In fact, it means the game is good.
After all, dumb and smart people alike can enjoy chess, go and poker precisely because they are easy to learn, hard to master.
The problem is that those games are competitive, not cooperative, meaning the stupidest member of your party is the lowest common denominator.
The answer to this is simple - don't play with dumb people, if you don't enjoy it, you fucking idiot.

I swear, if it's not fantasy racism or lewd shit, it'a dumb complaining over nothing.
What has /tg/ become?
At least be creative in your shitposting, goddammit.

>>46683390

Because it would be shit, as /tg/ has demonstrated in the past by attempting exactly this.

Design by committee is garbage. Design by MASS committee is criminal.

Orkz, Dark Eldar, and Red Corsairs are official pirates, you could attempted the conversions for humans but GW doesnt sell Empire Free Company anymore

>>46681753
Well, the obvious choice is one of the existing pirate-y factions (Dark Eldar, Red Corsairs, probably a few others I'm forgetting)

>>46681820
>>46681821
To bad Red Corsairs dont look like pirates.

Orkz flashgitz have pirate hats and kaptain badrruk and plenty of alternative sites that sell bits

Dark eldar can be converted with Dark Elf Corsairs as well as the Black Fleet Master and their troop transport has literal sails

You better fucking believe it, if it's a klondike bar!

To the characters, yes it does.

Not really. If you had fun and it ended in the party getting slaughtered by a horde of goblins then mission accomplished.

Punch it.

Snatch a stolen uniform off of one of the corpses of one of their patrols, hijack a vertibird, make a few speech checks and then blow them all up. Whelp, that was easy. Supermutants shoot down Brotherhood Vertibirds like it's going out of style anyway so I'll let them clean up any stragglers.

I doubt anyone will object, fucking everyone hates them. The only companion Danse seems to get along with anyway is Dogmeat.

>>46678499
Wait for the thing to land, go see if they're hiring.

>>46684882
King and Queen, suited, I believe.

>>46684930
In a heads up situation shouldn't it be any suited connectors really

>>46684930
Wouldn't it be King and Ace suited? Since that reduces the chance of another Ace turning up.

>>46682769
Yes, that is correct. In all likelihood, however, even desert settlements will be built around water sources. Otherwise when your cleric dies or leaves town to go adventure they'd all die of dehydration.

>>46682769
>is that a bit stupid
It's Pathfinder. If you break the game with a cantrip, the designers will just say it's magic so of course it's meant to be powerful.

>>46682769
It's a cleric. They aren't casting magic, their god is performing miracles through them.
And any self respecting god is far more likely to lead the settlement to a water source.
