I like range increments to a degree, as they do help differentiate ranges between weapons. When you're talking realism AND gameplay, having both an old smoothbore pistol and a modern rifle take ranged penalties at a similar flat rate is going to have you run into problems.

It does depend on exactly what you're trying to emulate and how much you're willing to abstract. First you've got the actual spread of the weapon in question for firearms, then you've got the ballistic arc of the weapon, then you've got to account for the accuracy of the actual shooter/thrower.

The shooter's accuracy is represented within their own statistics block via their character attributes or skills or whatever. The weapon's spread is very negligible for a lot of firearms at close range, so you could absract a weapon that fires a little off kilter by giving them slightly heavier penalties for shooting at longer range increments or just shorten then existing range increments. Then the ballistic range increments themself.

Does that gun have two magazines?

>>46180784
GURPS method is counter acted by the weapons effective range and accuracy. A weapon has its own penalty increase ALONG with the shooter penalty increase. So a rifle with 100/1000 range will have -4 at 100 yards, but a pistol with 80/600 range will have -5 at 100 yards.

And the rifle gets a higher accuracy bonus for aiming which counter acts distance.

Take a minor psychic power, most people have at least some psi potential in Dark Sun irrespective of class.

Never trust a cactus.

If you're a wizard just stay in the closet.

And try to remember that the Tyr region makes the Kalahari look verdant, so don't be that party that wanders out into the wastes with supplies and survival skills more suited for a weekend upstate camping trip.

Interesting. It has weird stuff with weapons too, right?

I remember the whole "Arcane magic destroys the world" bit kind of, but is there any other class or setting stuff that's weird?

>>46180795
>weapons
Mostly wood, bone and stone, metal is hella valuable.

Arcane spellcasters have to be licensed by a sorcerer king, or else can face persecution, most of these are "defilers" , but "Preservers" who tap arcane power responsibly also exist, though they are secretive, and just as persecuted as defiler.

If you're gonna be relying on weapons, bring spares or invest in unarmed combat, your equipment, being primitive can break on fumbles.

Also, don't try and directly oppose any of the sorcerer kings, not straight away, because they are astronomically OP, ideally you want the patronage of one before you take the right to another.

Yes, they are more or less all evil, yes this is normal for this setting.

Also, don't get triggered by depictions of slavery, it's a core part of the setting and it's themes.

>>46180288
you are supposed to be bending rules for the sake of narrative.
It is the entire reason multiple games from dungeons and dragons to shadowrun to gurps give you some form of DM screen.

>>46180288
Write stories instead of GMing.

What's the point of money if I'm dead?

>>46178685
Wouldnt you get sick and die if you licked nurgles face? If you're dead, money is useless. Not sure you thought this through op.

Better question, would you pay a billion dollars (or a billion imperial thrones) to lick Isha's face?

My dick.

The rescue and release of slaves.

A garden which feeds the hungry.

Safe havens for those in need or danger.

Shelter for the homeless and hungry.

A library which teaches those who desire to learn.

Seeing a trend here?

>wouldn't it be in your best interest to curtail your kinky sex stuff to appear more professional?
I don't know what made me laugh more; the idea of an old school TSR writer reining in their kinkiness, or the idea they wanted to appear professional.

>>46176371
>If you get to the point where you're a published writer for a company like WotC or TSR (back in the day) wouldn't it be in your best interest to curtail your kinky sex stuff to appear more professional?

it used to be the case that the games industry wasn't cucked

>I've played D&D for over 10 years now and I've never had a player who wanted to use their wizard powers to turn into a girl.

get better players

It's way older than that, just look at greek mythology, Zeus mostly use his power to fuck anything.

>Now the aforementioned player couldn't make it due to his work schedule
you should probably make an exception for anyone who gets fucked by work. in a perfect world we wouldn't have to work shitty jobs to pay rent and miss out on things we would rather be doing with our friends. if you're doing this to him + are unemployed you should just jump off a cliff.

>>46174289
I always give my players a base value, with additional XP for exceptional roleplaying, or doing something of worth to the group.

But then again I don't usually run systems with tiered advancements, and when I do, everyone gets exactly the same amount of XP.

Yeah the thing is, most of the group works or is in school and the schedules don't always line up. This particular time, we had to chose whether he would miss it, or three others would. I'm between jobs atm, but I've missed plenty of thing because of work in the past, some of them rpgs, where I also didnt get xp. I just thought, hey if your character isnt there to help overcome the adversity, how can he learn from the fight? I dunno. Maybe in the future, I'll just give xp to everyone no matter what.

The dude that created it was a greedy asshole, and fucked himself. And his game.

>>46172927
Really? That sucks. I really like the Allies models.

Any idea what's going to happen to it now?

We try not to think of it much.

Short answer:
An utter loss of good ideas mixed with awful writing, research, editing and bad shock value.

It's also kind of a mess when it comes to system, like three different ones crammed together that don't play well with each other at all.

Depends on the system

For PF or some other garbage, of course not. With WoD, then it is worth giving a shot.

Just yesterday my cleric had to channel negative energy on some peasants because she failed her intimidate check (only +2 on lvl 15). 40 people died. The townguards were not too happy

Oh but sense motive can br really useful even woth gms that value free-form social RP, especially since we play over roll20 without video there is no way to determine if someone is lying to you if you don't know exactly what the truth us before you ask

>>>/toy/ is next door

Waifu needs no justification.

>>46166427
I disagree. Waifu needs to have something more than just being cute to have any real value.

>>46166427
Exactly! We don't need any justification to not ban them.
