Firstly, ignore this gentleman
>>46186405

Second, get the core books of fifth ed, that would be the Players Manual, Dungeon Master's Guide, and the Monster Manual. Make sure you have enough dice for everyone, even if it's just one set. Someone has to be Dungeon Master, so that person should read that guide. Everyone should have read the Player's Manual.
Go from there.

You can buy the 5e starter set for something like $20, and it has everything you need to get started.

Beginner's rules for the first few levels of play, a prewritten adventure designed to help you learn the game, character sheets, and a set of dice.
You can also download the full books from the 5e General thread, and ask for any advice you might need from there as well.

There's also this site to help beginning players.

GURPSNah, seriously, it's pretty good for gunplay
Sadly, most RPGs about that period are outdated or not very good, so you might want to look at another setting and apply a paint job.
Otherwise, Twilight 2000 for Cold War (and ww3) is pretty decent.

You prefer rule heavy or rule light, btw ?
If it's the latter, the recent ffg Edge of the Empire may interest you. But it has special dice, so you'll have to a)buy dice b)torrent the app or c)write on your dice.

Also, a homebrew from /tg/ :https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Ops_and_Tactics.
Personally, I find it incredibely tedious, but it got its fans and it's homemade, so check it out.

I think GURPS can handle it quite well. There's a couple books about WW2 and though they're for 3rd Edition and not 4th they're a starting point. High-Tech and Tactical Shooting if you want a lot of realism, or Gun-Fu and Action if you want something more cinematic.

If you prefer a system that isn't GURPS then Savage Worlds has Weird War II, which I've found to be a pretty good game as well.

>>46186988
>You prefer rule heavy or rule light, btw ?
Either is fine, I'm not in a rush.
>>46187087
Well, I'm fine with GURPS, but it always felt like the brute force approach to RPG systems (i.e. simulate everything), which tends to make things a bit tedious. But it's workable.

Don't be melodramatic.

Long ago, perhaps it would have led to, but right now we could end up benefying both my interests and the Imperium on this planet.

My hive fleet died long ago.

I no longer feel nor hear mother's voice.

For 75 years, I've ruled alone.

Fought over by rogue traders and heritics, confiscated by the magos biologica, then fought over by the inquisition and various branches of the church and high lords. Eventual torture, dissection and death. The data is stored in highly classified vaults and eventually forgotten.

I probably skipped a few steps of different factions fighting and dicking each other over.

>>46184032
Ahoy grimderp.

>>46183926
They would more likely than not be detained, interrogated by the Inquisition, and eventually given the choice between working for the Inquisition (because they possess esoteric knowledge, especially anybody with a mechanical/engineering/historical background) or being killed. I'd imagine most would take the first option, if only because they realize the insanity of their situation and that they have virtually no other choice but to work with them.

I also think the Inquisition would treat them pretty well, too, given how insanely valuable their minds are. They wouldn't waste them unless absolutely necessary.

Why couldn't it?

>Black/White

Aristocracy that goes full-on noblesse oblige and does anything to keep itself in power because only they can provide prosperity to the common folk.

>Black/White

Enlightened Self-Interest.
Making the world better overall is viable long term strategy for bettering your own life. Creating goodwill and indebting people to you because of your generosity and hard work can be a powerful resource if you cultivate it.

>Red/Blue

Part of Blue's domain is the pursuit of perfection. This often comes off as cold and mechanical, but paired with the passion and empathy of Red, it can become an attempt to create a utopian, forward thinking society.

>>46183150
You have reached the pinnacle which no mortal being was made for. Your mind, desiring as it is to overcome any barrier finds itself purposeless in a void of obstacles. There is only one escape, an ascendancy of the mind, of desire itself to a new plane. Transcend the shackles of this addiction to adversity and turn the greatest of magics upon your own psyche. The universe awaits you.

"Doctor? Are you sure the, uh... past few days havn't affected your judgement?"
"Look, I don't know how, but while your heart isn't beating, your blood isn't flowing, and you don't breathe, you do heal your wounds, you can move just fine, and you seem to be just as aware as any other human I've ever seen. You're not alive, you're not dead, you're not undead, you're just... stopped. Your body is in a magically enforced stasis of sorts."
"So you're saying I'm so close to dying that I can't die?"
"Oh you can definately die. I have my theories as to other methods, but fire, acid, magic, anything that could destroy your body in its entirety will kill you just as it would anything else."
"Theories Doc?"
"I mentioned that while I was sewing up your bolt wound, I had to cut into your body cavity to remove the head? While I was fishing around I took a look at your heart. A small chunk of it is a healthy, beating red."
"I thought you said my heart wasn't beating?"
"Most of it isn't. Your sister mentioned that when you first entered the house, you told her what you'd been doing this entire time. She wouldn't tell me what this was, but I can only assume that when you metaphorically speaking "got it off your chest" a part of your body came back to life."
"So..."
"So if you continue to follow that logic, you could step off of deaths doorstep."
"Huh. Well I'll keep that in mind."
"One more thing James."
"Dr. Marches?"

>>46182266
"My clinic is full enough of the dead without dealing with those in need of healing. I've looked over Wendry. Other than some... confidentialities, I can confirm that once she wakes up, she'll be completely fine."
"What do you mean confidetialities?"
"Apart from starvation, and beatings, I can't inform you about the state of her health. Doubtless she'll tell you herself when she can"
"So, why did you bring this up?"
"Most of the people who I can shift out of the clinic return to their homes, and families. Wren was living in her lab James. And she doesn't have a family."
Your heart sticks in your throat for a second. "Oh."
"I don't suppose-"
"Wren has always been welcomed in this house Doctor."
"Thank you James."
Your sister appears in the door, obviously having heard the whole conversation.
"She can take your room James. Dad's room's off bounds."
...........................................................................................................................................

Which is why your eyes subconciously run along the over lapping curved crosses on Wren's cheeks when you towards the mirror that Halia left in your room. Some colour has returned to your face since two days ago, and you aren't feeling quite as numb. You're even remembering to breath so people aren't so put off by you.
What will you do today?
>Hunt. Halie's been bringing all the food to the table and you feel a bit guilty.
>Wander around. Surely you can find someone who's willing to talk to you.
>Rest. You're still not feeling so great.
>Practice. Dad's sword isn't the lightest thing in the world, and you're still not fully used to your body's limits.
>Write in/remember the town.

Fuck you and fuck 4-chan too.


I've been having a bad time. Mostly due to depression, so that's most of the reason behind yesterday, other than my computer not understanding that I actually need Word Pad, so if it could not delete it that would be nice.

Regenerate ki on crits with martial arts.

It does seem silly to me that a monk runs out of their internal reservoir of magical trained kung fu bullshit and have to take a long rest to replenish it.

Perhaps add a mechanic where the number of times they can replenish after a short rest is limited based on class level, though. So eventually they do have to take a long rest.

>>46182073
Crits aren't reliable enough to fix the issue. That seems better as a Feat, or a Way of Shadow feature.

>>46182087
That's sorta what I'm doing here, except the limit is a modifier on their maximum ki-points, not level. The monk can short rest as many times as they like to get those ki points back, but the more he USES them, the more he puts his mind in disorder from ki-abuse and threatens to throw the precious balance that he depends on out of whack. It's thematic and seems fairly solid in crunch, too.

It’s a good habit not to tease life.
In particular, it’s a good habit not to ask stupid questions.
“Can things get worse than this?” of course they can. They can also get better, but we digress.

In particular, after being tricked by a certain magical “girl”, as well as being made fun of by a certain man of the cloth, the quality of your life might decidedly tank if you decide to take a tour around of a city you don’t know on top of it.

What they call the Holy City looks like the most bland and staple of bland and staple towns.
There are a few schools here and there, commercial districts, a couple of fun fairs and tourist attractions.

Public transportation seems to working perfectly, with buses, trams and even an overly complicated metro network. At a first glance, there seem to be at least 28 different metro routes, some of which continue for hundreds of kilometers.

A few large parks are scattered here and there, both for those who want to get a taste of nature in the city, and for those who simply wish to relax. You’re almost having a pleasant time.
Almost.

Then it starts raining. Out of the blue, quite literally, considering how crystal clear the sky was just a few minutes ago.

You run to the exit of the park, as you seem to notice something across the road: a store, or more precisely, a convenience store
‘How convenient’, you think to yourself, as you head for the entrance.

There seems to be nobody around. You visit the bathroom first, trying to get yourself dry, then you take a proper look inside the store. It seems to be selling a wide variety of things, from magazines to food. There are even a few tables.

Pulling a chair, you sit down. You hadn’t realized how tired you were until then. And that’s when you realized you had no clue where you were either. You could barely remember the name of the tavern you visited for lunch.

>>46181573
Covering your face with your hands in desperation, you could hear a voice talking with you.
“Having an hard day, sweetheart?”
Probably in her mid-twenties, with long dark hair and grey eyes, a girl in her work uniform, which consists of casual clothes and an apron with the name of the convenience store, is standing in front of you.

>Don’t remind me
>Not this shit again
>If I buy something will you shut up?

Once calm and beautiful clearing was now a bloody mess. Gnoll corpses littered the grounds, and you hoped that the old chief wasn’t one of them. More than half the men you came here with were splayed across the clearing. Some of them still moved and moaned. Some. The corpses of the two werewolves stuck out like mountains of meat.

You looked over the one you had slain. It was almost twice as tall as you, and a lot buffer. It had claws like sharp daggers, and its mouth was filled teeth like jagged shards of glass. It was unscratched, safe for your arrow stuck in its skull. You still half expected it to jump up and bite you in half.

‘And to think that Lord Minduri went blow for blow with one of these, and lived to tell the tale’, you thought to yourself, glancing at the man.

He seemed to have recovered from his wounds already. The bleeding had almost stopped, and he grabbed one of the fallen soldier’s weapon. The crown of red still hang above his head.

He looked to the forest, where the last surviving werewolf has run off to. And then back at his men, who needed him. He was caught in a moment of indecision.

What do you do?

>Encourage him to help his men
