He replies with fascination. Somehow, a van populated by 5 Shadowrunners is safer? Let's not beat around the bush here, we're basically terrorists by this point. Lines have been crossed that we can't uncross.

I go to my sock basket, grab an old deck box too, and make her a small bed and put it on my nightstand.

1. Get players who want to play.
2. Decide on a system to play.
3. Read the book(s) for the system. There will be a section or book about how to run the game.
4. Arrange a time and place to meet with the people from 1.
5. ???
6. Now you're thinking with portals.

Just try if yourself and see what works and what doesn't.
Play with people you're comfortable with and ask for some kindness from your PC
The first two wil most likely fuck up.
Do not start with a campaign, try some one shots.
Read some advice in the core books.

How DO you get started with GMing?

I mean, when I started me and everyone I played with were 12 years old, so no one minded a load of fucking around and me making shit up and not following the rules right. until we eventually learned how shit worked after a year old bullshit.

At this point it's all second nature, but I can't even conceive how I'd get started if I didn't know shit and had to go in at ground level trying to please adults who want some kind of coherent experience.

>mfw everyone does not know what to do or how to roleplay, leave myself and the Wife with the only experience in the party.
>Both of us have to play sidelines basically the whole session so the other three can learn.
>Our rouge keeps fucking up his roles and placing the group in Danger
>Cleric as to stay close to heal the Paladin almost all the time because of Rouge's fuck-ups
>Gf's character gets mad at me because i'm the only one doing things right and not getting hurt.
cont.

>Session ends with almost the whole group getting fucked over because the Drow Sailor (who is drunk most of the time) puts us in a bad position.

tl;dr - Gf invites me to a group that has almost no experience and forced to see all my hardwork get fucked up by some Beta, although ever else is chill

So... you're mad that people who were new didn't know what they were doing?

FATE maybe? Googling shows there are a few homebrew projects on that matter kicking about, as well.

I want to know the answer to this aswell.

Naoto is good, but not AS good. I enjoy her most in p4g when I equip her with the gekkoukan high uniform and she does Aigis' after-battle pose/quotes.

Maid RPG.

Do you mean RPGs specifically about Asia, or RPGS coming out of Asian countries?

>>44557866

rpgs coming out of chingchong lands

Jokes on them, I did come back. I just didn't tell anybody because I need some fucking R&R

GURPS is pretty good.

Why?

I don't know Fantasycraft, but it sounds like you might be ready for ORE.

It is crunchy and scales down into a lot of detail if you want, but it's the fastest you will find. The core mechanism is gamist, but very easy to balance (# of d10 in pool). It offers per limb damage on multiple attacks including ini with one roll per PC.

The mechanics are incredibly flexible and more of a toolkit than a generic system. You can use it for any setting you want, but also for any kind of game. Make it more narrativist by connecting story to the dice. Make it more sim by detailing damage types and different armor/weapon effects. Keep it classic with stat+skill. Make it beer & pretzels easy or weeks of chargen complex, ORE helps you do it.

The published settings range from Monsters and Other Childish Things over Godlike/Wild Talents, to Reign and even Better Angels. Small downloads outline ideas like Nemesis, StarORE, or ORE Mecha. The independently collected system toolkit is a powerful resource. For a straight introduction in a classic genre I'd start with Reign Enchiridion, which is Reign without the setting in one affordable PDF. If you want to start free try Nemesis. The only genre missing from the ORE spectrum is some serious Scifi. For that Fate seems to be the way to go. But Fate won't do scary or overly gritty and ORE does that really well. ORE also gets a lot of supers, from low power mutants to super villains. But I'm not sure if that doesn't have so much to do with the mechanics as with the personal preferences of some of the makers. But ORE does do supers of all kinds well.

If you want everything statted out on books full of tables, go with gurps. If you'd rather build your own on a powerful system that does what you want it to, ORE is your game. Much of it is free. Just do a little searching.

This looks really bad. The example cards are presumably the creator bringing his A-Game but aren't remotely funny.

Wow... this is just... a new level of terrible.

Finally what Wheeling, West Virginia has been looking for: Cards Against Humanity but with more rules for extra raunchy fun.

>how would a character reload a crossbow in each hand so quickly without dropping one
You can't.
http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/sageadvice_feats

Although it'd be a fun use of Unseen Servant to justify it, and it exposes a niche for some sort of clockwork gnome handcrossbows or some such.

>>44557339
>I am currently playing DND 5E in which a character can use dual hand crossbows and fire them for all of their attacks in one turn after acquiring the proper feat.
You only need one hand crossbow to do that. The feat doesn't say you can't use the hand crossbow you used in your attack action to also make the bonus action attack. And it doesn't say anywhere that you can load a hand crossbow without using your other hand or not, so being able to reload while dual wielding hand crossbows is a grey area, but firing one just as fast as you could with two is not.

"Sir," he calls as you prepare to leave, "seeing as we've got the turret off we can make some uh... alterations, you know maybe you want a Sun Devil, or a Tarantula or somethin'. Just food fer thought."

You pause to weigh your options. It's a 100km march to Voi from the current staging point at the base of Kilimanjaro, you're doubtful there will be anytime to make changes to the armament during the march. The briefing earlier today indicated that contact with Covenant forces would be made at some point, composition from flyovers, and satellite imagery indicates the majority of resistance to be ground vehicles, most air power is concentrated around the ships between Voi and Mombasa.
The terrain is largely flat once you leave the Kilimanjaro area, it's easy to pass a Scorpion around the trees or even roll over them, however LOS appears to range from 1km to 3km.

The M808B has fared well against Covenant forces. Strong against Heavy vehicles, Canister shot supplements the coaxial gun in an AI roll, however relatively long reload puts it at a disadvantage.
The M808B2 is extremely effective against enemy infantry and light vehicles. Able to punch through shielded infantry and shred anything fast. Ineffective against heavy vehicles. Doesn't need to reload.
The M808B3 has not fared well against the Covenant due to the loss of the main gun to the dual rocket pods. By far the most destructive Scorpion variant able to lay down a salvo that would impress a Rhino Platoon, it's let down by the inability to reload without a support vehicle which is seldom available while in combat.

I wonder how well a monster mesume game would work in it?

>>44557133
Not exactly what i was going for.. But honestly.. Probably pretty decent.

>>44557113
If the system is good I think this would be a very strong launch actually, like a potential rival for one of the most-played or strongest PnP IPs going. But they picked Fuzion probably because they are all actual hardcore nerds and didn't think or care about accessibility, so I expect it to just wind up as another niche game that more people play D&D/PF converted for the IP than the actual game for.

Druid and Ranger seem to easy. Wizard with a bunch of binding spells?

>>44556936
I really, really like you, Anon. Arcanogeneticists, or whatever you want to call them, are always a favorite character type of mine, and I am elated that someone else enjoys them. On subject, I'd suggest:

PF: Some combination of Ranger or Druid and Summoner or Wizard.

3.5: Druid and/or Wizard.

>>44556936
Maybe one of those pathfinder alchemists that perform operations on animals?

good because you were probably going to get raped around his army anyway
