/L5R/ is upon us again with a pretty gangbusters week for news out of FFG.
This week we got organized play information (https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2017/8/1/your-path-into-rokugan/), the Pretty Pony Princess Parade fiction written by everyone's favorite oldschool L5R author and featuring the Unicorn starting a bloody war over one attempted protest seppuku (https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2017/8/2/curved-blades/) and now the actual rules for the LCG itself (https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/74/46/7446c964-613e-4c01-8902-199257c5d4af/l5c01_learntoplay_web.pdf).
In the Emperor's name I declare this blessed general thread open for discussion of the LCG, CCG, RPGs, and anything to do with Rokugan you care about.
>>54680621
I want Mantis, Spider, Nezumi, Shadowlands, Naga, nezumi, Ronin, and brotherhood of shinsei to stay gone.
>>54681160
I suspect some of those factions we're going to see as neutral cards over time.
There's also mechanically room for two more factions with the way they've revealed Roles to work. And up to 14 if they add some kind of third axis later on besides keeper/seeker. But I think 9 might be the cap they'll ever add to the game to prevent it getting insanely unwieldy.

Got any foreign language (to you) games /bgg/? Something amazing that just isn't out in your country yet? Imports that you could get in your own language but you'd rather have a different edition for art/components?
Apparently, blank dice exist to mark them with custom faces. How does that work?
Do people use pens or stickers?
Isn't it easy to set off the weighting, biasing the dice?
Anyone here excited for Joan of Arc? I know many people shit on "muh minis" games but I think it sounds great.
>>54680133
Usually wet/dry erase markers that I've seen, and if a die is made from a single plastic (which in the case of blank white it is) then it's a lot more evenly weighted than stuff like the Chessex Gemini series. You have salt tested your Gemini dice and written a spreadsheet so you know which are the most accurate and which to pull out when you want all high results right?
I'm starting to get more and more into Exalted, to the point where I almost think I'm ready to play, but the biggest hurdle in all of this for me is my unfamiliarity with the system it runs on.
I've only played about 6-8 months of DND 5e, and that's the extent of my tabletop rpgs experience (for tabletop in general I've been playing 40k for a bit less time, but that's not relevant to my knowledge).
Is there anything any veterans can share about the game? Which playstyles work better than others, details on how the system works, overpowered/underpowered skills/talents/whatever the term is, etc?
>>54659489
>Is there anything any veterans can share about the game?
Sure. First off, go for 3rd edition, it is the best mechanics the game has had. Keep things simple to start off with, and just use the foes in the book itself since there isn't much material for 3E out yet.
>>54659489
To be characters from a game called exalted they seem so... uninterested
>>54661264
Second, don't be too worried about the power of PC's. They're supposed to be strong, as Exalted is less about overcoming obstacles, as what you're going to do when they're overcome. Say you liberate a small city state. What now? Who's gonna govern it? You probably decimated part of their standing forces and possibly killed off their leadership. Are you just going to leave it to collapse, or are you in charge now?

Welcome to the Accidental Magical Girl thread!
Various worlds and multiverses have become connected together via the mysterious Overcity, a sprawling landscape inhabited by monsters and magical beings. Girls and boys endowed with their new supernatural powers can work together solving conflicts that arise!
>This is NOT a greentext adventure style CYOA with one GM and thread posting to dictate the adventure, but rather a hub thread for multiple storycrafters to use.
This thread houses three systems: First, QuasarBlack's CYOA PDFs which may be used as writing prompts. Second, AMGC which expands on the CYOA character creation and provides rules for combat. Finally, the SCS is an alternative to AMGC with a similar purpose. IRC uses mostly AMGC and Discord uses mostly SCS.
Post builds, roleplay, write stuff.

This PDF is for AMGC 1.14.1, one of the two usable PNP systems for playing as a magical girl.
It features 10 additional powers and 20 extra perks, as well as combat actions, point buy, and more. Note that this is NOT the same as the CYOA, and uses its own methods of character generation.

The SCS was made as an addon to the CYOA to cover the combat side of roleplaying. It allows players to easily take characters made in the CYOA v1.5 and use them in Quests and long-running campaigns alike. Note that this system DOES require you to have a character made in the CYOA in the OP first.
This PDF covers the core rules of gameplay, as well as the methods of improvement and various spells and items magical girls use.
>Expansions to the SCS can be found in this link
http://pastebin.com/kVJmwcj3
These expansions include
>Order & Chaos; Friend & Foe (OC&FF): Details on the mechanical workings of Patrons, Dark Magical Girls, Monster Girls (both natural and corrupted), and also includes a bestiary

GHQ's models look amazing and I'd love a reason to buy them.
>>54574095
I think the gold standard is Harpoon 3. Check the OP MF, I think there's some of it in there. Can't comment directly though, WW1/WWII and Age of Sail guy mostly.

How do I handle having my players fight large groups of weak enemies?
4e did this in a way with the minion monster type.
The same way you handle them fighting any number of other enemies regardless of their strength. The rules scale linearly with the size of encounter.
>>54748086
Depends on the system. Many systems have some kind of rules for mobs or hordes where multiple weak enemies can be treated as a single unit for certain purposes.
Behold, a fantastically imaginative tribute to the classics that started it all.
>>54747613
not getting squated. new 30 year model is hey check out this primaris that replaces classic space marines
>>54747613
I know right? It's awesome
Chadmarines are the future.
Just throw the manlets in the trash where they belong. Maybe Dumpster Anon will make another Crimson Fists army out of them.
Looks like sargent that was way too detailed for Dark Imperium box
how do I make my characters really FEEL an emotion using a story?
Boredom is an emotion
>>54747509
Depends on what your players care about
>>54747509
>make my characters
Shit man, they're your characters, they do whatever you say they do.
Working on a homebrew where the BBEG is a lich who leads a kingdom of undead. How would you rank the different kinds of undead? Which ones are higher, which ones are lower?
>>54746510
By hit dice as Gygax intended
>>54746510
You could split the lowest between physical form and non-physical form such as having Skeletons, Zombies, and Wights be the lowest for physical then something like Ghasts, Ghosts, Ghouls, Specters, Shadows, and Wraiths as being the lowest for non-physical form.
Then each type of undead could be "commanded" by a greater undead of that type. Zoms and Skeles could be then commanded by necromancers or similar. The non-physical ones could be commanded by banshees or similar.
You could also have other undead that *not* Arthas has risen or bound to the king like animals, beasts, etc..
It just depends on what you're including. Be sure put *not* Sindragosa in there for me.
>>54746510
You have an entirely wrong approach. Rank should be given depending on merit, since an individual vampire can be much stronger than the lich, or vice versa.
Instead of landing in Fenris the drop pod carrying Russ crashlands in the ruins of Fuyuki, crushing the young Emiya Shirou. Kiritsugu finds the Primarch, installs Avalon on him and adopts him as his own.
How does Russ influence the events of Fate?
Can he win the Holy Grail War?
What?
>>54746301
How much of an effect does Russ have on the war?
>>54746481
Well...he doesn't really have any internal Mana so he would be in the same boat as the poster child for unbearable stupidity. He would be stronger than Emiya and probably just take all of the girls in the city at once so there would be none of this route stuff. I suppose it would be more interesting than any of the Emiya stuff but still less enjoyable than fate/zero.
A better setting would be if Waver reincarnated Alexander and the two of them went on a quest for world conquest, with Gilgamesh as the final boss.
