The Premise: I intend to run a game set in the Fallout universe, in the state of Florida, thematically and lore-wise more in line with the original two games than 3, New Vegas and 4(people might disagree on what the differences are, but generally I consider the first two to have more potential for happy endings and generally more of a sense of humour. There are more differences, but those are the two my players would probably notice).
The System: Unisystem(you may know this from All Flesh Must Be Eaten), a simple 1d10+skill+stat resolution system, if it's 9 or better(and not beaten by an opposed roll), you succeed.
The Premise(expanded): Your characters, for whatever reason, volunteered for a groundbreaking cryonics experiment immediately prior to the war. You pick the reason you chose to be frozen. Perhaps you had an incurable disease you hoped they'd find a cure for later, maybe you needed the money, maybe you wanted to hide from someone, maybe you just really loved science, or maybe someone on the research team blackmailed you into becoming a test subject. Whatever the case, you had little idea how long you'd be stuck for, or whether or not your eyeballs were going to explode while they froze you. About 70 years after the bombs fell, the facility's power supply finally fails, and, using the last available juice, it tries to defrost the test subjects without freeze-drying any of them.
The Place: SupTG IRC(http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/index.html), the #TSC channel, just drop by the channel and ask around if you're interested.
The Time: Tuesdays, wednesdays or thursdays, specific time-of-day still undefined, with the game likely to run once a week, for three to four hours, though there may be a couple of missed sessions before the start of May.
Currently no confirmed players, two potential, looking for three to five in total.
And yes, there will be a trait named "Florida Man" related to chem use.

Then explain to me why there are mutants in Florida.

I'm interested, but i have almost no practical experience with playing unisystem, or anything else really. Is there space for an enthusiatic novice? Also, I've only played fo3 and fo4, is that an issue? Tues/Weds is perfect for me, the only days i consistently have off.

Unisystem is incredibly simple, not being able to figure it out would require being literally retarded. I always have space for novices if they're willing to learn the ropes.
FO3 and FO4 will still give you a basic understanding of the setting, just not so much of the intended atmosphere, but that shouldn't be a huge issue.
>>46174284
There are mutants because there's radiation.

Post where you usually meet up and buy things for /tg/ related activities. I think my store is pretty cool, being a cut above the average strip-mall hole in the wall. Its got a comfy ground floor with a fireplace and comfy chairs to sit among the various books and products and an upstairs where all the gaming tables are. Parking is a pain though...

This is mine. This is the owner. And his 6 cats. He asks that customers turn off their cell phones because they cause cancer. He trades in "Toronto dollars" which is a fictional currency supported by him and maybe 10 other local stores.
That said, he also gives discounts and sales quite often, has polite and friendly staff and probably the best selection of cards, board games and RPGs this side of New York.
So I kinda like the place despite its craziness.

My party pissed off a witch a few sessions ago. I don't want to bring her back for a few sessions, but I'm looking for ideas on how she can mess with the party from afar. Any takers?
They are currently stuck in the Underdark trying to escape. She is no where near them.

My favorite trick is logs made of ice. No really, it's like a block of ice magically enchanted to look and feel like a log.
Once the party gets some in their campfire supplies, which makes sense they'd have some in the underdark, they have to throw out all their logs because they couldn't tell them apart. Ice logs if course put out fires they are put in, even though they appear to burn.
Other ideas include minor curses, making them more visible to enemies, summoned minions, etc.
>>
>>46173605
Turns out that a quest/loot reward that the party receives belongs to the witch
Snake Pit
She teleports behind the party and does a thing
She summoned a pack of hellhounds/other minion creatures, who have journeyed from her lair to the party's location where they are a surprise encounter.
She poisoned the party's potions the last time they met
I don't know what capabilities this witch is supposed to have

And in the spirit of /tg/ they also made a PDF version. It's too many megabytes for the board though.

>In other news, it's worth mentioning that I looked up the character sheets for Talon and Brinton when they left for this mission and, no joke, Brinton was testing surface navigate at a 15, with Talon coming in at a 6. Poor kids.
>It's ALSO worth mentioning at this point in time that while Talon was pretty blind with a 24 in perception, Brinton somehow had gotten his perception down to a 17. Brinton, mind you, has perfect eyesight, so one can only imagine his head's so far up in the clouds he could check for low-orbit voidships.
If this were Dark Heresy they would have been totally screwed.

hey /tg/. i really, REALLY like the idea of GM'ing. on my first campaign, i would lose track of the time my adventurers spent walking. then they decided to fight a monster i was saving for later and they died quickly, then quit. i admit, that was kinda my fault. for my second campaign, i spent a good month planning, watching critical role, preparing, etc etc. one thing i read was to make your players feel at home- and to not introduce the main "adventure" yet. one of my players was a carpenter. so i rolled, and he came up. for about 2 minutes, i described how he woke up, walked down the street, and went to his job site. this all took about 2 minutes irl; when my players get distracted and start saying "this isn't working" and they basically just stop. we were talking about it @ school and they said "anon, you're a just a shitty DM. sorry to say it." is it my fault? or theirs? i really like dm ing, so i think i may just need to find a new group.

Find new friends, or beat some manners into the ones you have and tell them to try to do a better job if they think you're so shit

>then they decided to fight a monster i was saving for later and they died quickly, then quit.
Well that was a fuckup. How did they even run into the monster? Lesson learned is that player will attack anything in front of them.
>one thing i read was to make your players feel at home- and to not introduce the main "adventure" yet.
This is not universal advice. It's good advice for groups that lean towards roleplay.
But by your previous example, you have hack'n'slash guys. If you want them, you pander to them: run them a dungeon crawl.
P.S. Fix your grammar. Seriously. It'll help a lot.
>>
>>46173094
Everything you have written here sounds ridiculous. I can't tell if you're nuts, or your players are, or both, or neither, or what. But I do know your problem.
>we were talking about it @ school
You're young. You'll get less retarded as you get older, and you'll look back at your younger self, and think, 'man, what a dumb asshole I was back then, no wonder my GMing sucked'. It's a process we all have to go through, don't sweat it.

I know this will probably devolve into shitposting, but I finally got around reading some Alpha Legion fluff in the HH books, and I was wondering, what if Alpharius and Omegon had been seperated at birth?
Alpharius being the one that ended up alone on a world where he killed pirates before setting off, and Omegon being the one rescued by Empy after being abducted by xenos, as he is the one that stayed loyalist.

If you've played those, you've played far more games than most.
Fiasco's pretty unique and well-known, though, so I'd add that to the list.
>>
>>46167512
I would say any BRP based game (CoC, Dark Heresy, etc) instead of just RuneQuest, even though Mythras (formerly RQ6) is my favorite game out there.
I would also say any Powered by the Apocalypse game, since there are a lot of good ones and playing the right interest is more important.
I would add FATE as well, same with an OSR game like LotFP. Probably add Barbarians of Lemuria/the Apocalypse.
>>
>>46167512
You might as well ask /v/ for the best game ever, or /tv/ what shows not to watch. This is pointless.
Then again, isn't all of /tg/ nowadays?
How do you handle shape-changing weapons in your game? If none are available, how would you make it available to the players?

Pass a DC to maintain concentration and consequently the shape and constitution of the weapon's current form.
>>
what's the point? all weapons do d6 damage.
>>
>>46167896
In what system?
My players are idiots
They try to hit on every female, and every time they have a chance of avoiding a combat encounter, they choose to threaten and intimidate. They fuck with things far more powerful than them and try to depose what little order there is in the world.
What are your favourite ways to respond to murderhobo behaviour? Something that enables everyone to have fun while making them understand consequences?

Let them kill every peasant they want.
They find no loot and a pittance for exp.
Braver and more charismatic peasants refuse to help.
People begin to side against the adventuring menace.
Bounties are posted, rallies are formed.
Eventually they are no longer allowed inside towns or allowed to trade.
People empathize with the BBEG.

My two favorite types of monsters tend to be:
1. Magical creatures which act in an animalistic manner. Basically, creatures which would evolve in an ecosystem where magic is used for defense, shelter, locomotion, etc.
2. Monsters which are like 'glitches' in reality. Creatures which may or may not be hostile, but cause blatant violations in the laws of physics by simply existing.

>Magical creatures which act in an animalistic manner
I am currently trying to figure this out in a manner that wont break immersion.
like , how would one implement dragons into a functioning ecosystem? considering evolution exists within the setting , how would this affect the evolutionary progress of other animals?

Yes. You are going to regret not switching sooner.
Seriously though they're just acrylics. The only thing I noticed was that it seems easier to get a good wash with them but that might just have been me getting better at washes.

Vallejo is pretty good, especially for the price. I haven't used it enough to really tell a difference between it and cheaper acrylics.

Where can I order Vallejo paints from? Need something to paint my Super Dungeon Explore shit with and I don't want to skimp with cheap garbage.

It sounds unsustainable to keep track of them with a checklist.
