I've got one player who asks the most obscure questions then uncontrollably giggle for 15 seconds but almost never acts on that info

I would guess Alucard from Hellsing, but I'm not sure about Dracula from Castlevania.

I generally don't use any of the pre-published cults. But as a rule, I end up making sub-factions of my own, that fit the campaign.
For instance, the Brotherhood of the Lance is a Lancea et Sanctum faction. Basically Christian vampire Daesh. With the trappings of a knightly order.

Free Council is best Council.

Are there any good pre-written Mage: the Ascension chronicles out there? I have some ideas for adventures, but I don't know if I have the right sense of scale.

Also, what's your favorite Tradition/Convention? I'd have to go with Order of Hermes and the $yndicate.

A stones throw away from Cork city. I know there is a new WH store opened there I have to visit and that Sand Castle place which wrecks of genuine autism so it kind repelled me from setting foot in that store. Other Realms I stop into every now and then to have a quick look but heard mixed things about the staff and the people who come in to play TT games.

Plague doctor who is basically a complete fraud and cures everything with amputations and leeches.

>>45229934
So a normal plague doctor?

>>45229938
Well when you put it like that, yes.

So where do I find rules for basic defenses like this one to add to my game or do I have to make my own?

Holy shit those are so nice looking. I'm with this anon, where can someone buy them?

Also, because no one else has done it: hold on to your butte.

While I like the idea of "Castle Brians?," something like these seem more plentiful for major forward bases or important sites.

While White Box ordinarily leaves me cold, the potential for mingling with Chainmail intrigues me as a separate branch of D&D combat that is almost totally left behind.

In particular, rating, say, level 4 fighters as 4 dudes, level 8 fighters as 8 dudes, and a +1 to +3 sword adding the attacks of 1 to 3 dudes, makes manipulating game balance WAY easier.

First Fantasy Campaign has a compelling (to me anyway) system for magic swords in which depending on the sort, they add or are treated as having (not sure which) a fighting level, cleric level (holy swords) or magic use level of their own as well.

>Space Opera
>Starship Troopers
>Superheroes
>Westerns
>Swords and Planets
>Cosmic Horror
>Post Apocalypse
>Exalted
>Swords and Sorcery
>Urban Fantasy
>Spy Thrillers
>Martial Arts

Damn. The old-school D&D ruleset is turning into an amazing generic framework. Anyone else tried mixing and matching everything out there? What other genres do you hope to see turned OSR compatible? Personally, I want an Anime and/or Mecha game. I still haven't seen a game that utilizes that over the top and dramatic tone and aesthetic.

>>45229446
For anime in general, not sure much needs to be, or could be done. Guts is already no doubt an Arnesonian Hero or Antihero. Mechs are definitely a good question, and I actually think d20 Future is a good starting point for this: the ACs are more or less the normal AC range for early D&D (typically +5 to +9), and the ranged damage is in the line of wizard spells (5d6 to 10d6 typically) while the melee damage is in the line of a fighter enlarged to the appropriate size.

How do you handle crafting in your groups, /tg/? Is it just for fixing and or upgrading bought items or can it be used to make items from scrap too?

For example, the dev mentioned on the German forums that scrappers can make ammo for their weapons, but it's nowhere in the rules.

What do you think is the signal that chernobog is aiming for?

Lightsaber. Especially since I can just make it as long as needed.

Ruined a Monsterhearts quest a while ago, being the SURPRISETWEEST, so I think poorly of it.

Interestingly, the series Last Exile takes place on a generation ship.

They basically set things up so there is a "supervisor" race, which is enhanced to be smart and incorruptible and an arbiter for any conflict that happens within. There ends up being competing factions within the ship, and the supervisor race gets corrupted, and all hell breaks loose obviously.

It probably depends on the size of the ship. If it's big enough, you might get some kind of tribalization and divergent evolution happening.

Other than that, I'm not sure.

Reminder for I Donut Know Anymore's coach to PM his opponent.

Fuck, I wish I joined this season. I love the league I'm in, but it's so damn slooooow. Especially around the playoffs. A man only can so long without an injection of blood bowl....

Completed Research:
>Hunter Squid: A large predatory cephalopod that was at the top of the food chain in open waters. Relying on it's colorshifting to sneak up on prey before jetting forward with a burst of it's powerful siphon it attacks while flashing an intense array of colors to disorient and confuse. It's body comprised of a large conical shell of light but durable bone-like material with an cluster of six barbed limbs capable of extending nearly twice their resting length.

>Anti-Air Missiles: A series of missile pods hidden in the mountain side provide aerial defense against incoming ships though disrepair had led to many of the pods to malfunction and detonate prematurely

>Mini-Rockets: Miniature rockets a third the size of a standard grenade are fired from a pod. Containing a small amount of propellant they are able to track and aim for moving targets to deliver an explosive warhead capable of being loaded with a variety of payloads.

>Rukor Eels: The majority of Rukors lifeforms appear to be a form of eel, cephalopod, or crustacean like creatures. Eels fill many of the ecological niches ranging from small finger sized scavengers to eels longer than a coffin hiding in reefs and caves, even including the vicious kryssers. The Ructu relied on a fast breeding eel that swam in large shoals near the shores feeding on smaller organisms or the local plant-life. Mildly cannibalistic a female eel is much larger than the males, laying large clutches of eggs that hatch quickly, the larvae maturing rapidly.

>Stonestar Equipment: The Stonestars given to the Armada to train for war or sent as prisoners inducted into the Necrolyte Legion required an upgrade to their equipment now that they were reaching for the stars. Stone and shell armors no longer adequate for space-travel Think Tanks have been given the task of creating new equipment for the echinoderms.

Unlocked:
>Siphon Jet: A powerful organ capable of sucking in both water or air to propel a unit rapidly in short bursts. Provides a powerful boost in speed as long as submerged in liquid or within a pressurized zero-g environment. Outside of aquatic environments a unit would need a mode of levitation or flight to effectively use it when affected by gravity.

>Sting Whip Upgrade: Sting Whips can now reach nearly double their previous length

>Anti-Air Missile Tower: A tower containing a large amount of long-range tracking missile for the purpose of striking and destroying craft within in the upper atmosphere of the planet.

>Mini-Rocket Pod: A back mounted pod containing a cluster of mini-rockets. Once fired the mini-rockets race for the target guided by the gaze of the shooter, able to track targets with some degree of agility. Each pod contains three volleys of five mini-rockets before needing replaced.

>Kelp-Eel Farm Upgrade: Your Kelp Vats can now support a breed of necrotically altered Eel, the creatures growing in large clutches. The eels graze on the kelp while their waste helps promote the kelps growth in return. The eels gives the Kelp Vats a boost in Biomass production capable of processed for Cauldrons or harvested for feeding living subjects. Kelp-Eel Farms produce 15B Daily

>By studying the Stonestar form extensively using the corpses gained from Agona's campaign and the Stonestar researchers Think Tanks have come up with a new form of equipment for the race. A suit of interlocking chitin and metal plates replaces the stonestars stone armor. Cauldrons can create for them exosuit versions of their suits. Stonestars are able to equip two light weapons effectively or one medium or heavy weapon modified for use with their unique body shape. Stonestar suits allow for them to communicate with their coded language with a remarkable increase in ease of translation and speed of communication in comparison to their stone armor.
