Piqued my interested. Where do we start?

I don't think you understand stat me threads.

The people who make them don't actually care about the character's stats. They just want to talk about the character on /tg/ instead of on wherever you're supposed to talk about the character or the show/video game/movie/book/comic/webcomic/commercial/cereal box they're from.

>cereal box
I'm tempted to post a "stat me" thread some day with a cereal box character now.

Wouldn't be the first time.

Can anybody fill me in on Wilhelm Getrell and the Recombination Group? It seems like they had a pretty vast influence on the current state of the world.

I'd like some explanation here as well. I've been trying to get through the rulebooks but it's pretty dense and so far my understanding of the RG is as some kind of nebulous conspiracy.

Here's a question:

Why does WHFRP2 split up each Arcane and Divine Lore into three lores when it adds more spells in Realms of Sorcery and Tome of Salvation, if you still have to pick spells individually anyway?

Why not just let you pick freely from the associated spells?

For example, if you are an Amber Wizard, Lore of Beasts, you cannot take The Beast Broken, The Beast Made Well, and The Beast Unleashed, because there are three spell lists, Elemental, Mystical, and Cardinal, and none includes all three.

It seems like a very odd restriction to me. Realms of Sorcery says "With more spells per lore, the rules from the WFRP core rulebook need some revision lest Wizards gain more power without cost."

But you still have to pay experience to pick any spells whatsoever, so it's very, very odd to me. Both narratively (it seems very artificial - why would this restriction exist?) and mechanically (what's the point?). Or am I just missing something?

Reminder that this includes the final publication by FFG, as odd as that sounds.

- Waystone of token ancient civilization, touching it gives images of the surrounding land.

- Remains of a summoning circle, hinting at a ritual going down some [time] ago.

- Roadside memorial or grave marker, an excuse for fluff exposition

- An abandoned camp. Could be loot in there, or not. Could be signs of what happened and who was there, or not.

- a group of hunters throwing a roadside party, celebrating the youngest's first successful hunt

- a horse coming down the road, all barded and maybe with personal effects on, but without any rider

- a bruised traveller who got robbed, and trying to get help or a ride to the nearest town. May be a bandit, or not.

- remnants of a big fight that happened, broken bodies and weapons. Maybe no bodies.

- young child wandering around. Maybe he is lost, maybe he went off to join the army, maybe he wanted to go to the city, maybe he is running from abusive parents.

- small roadshrine of god of the wilds, or of a traveller god. May give the party blessings, depending on your height of fantasy or your GM cruelty.

- two elves having sex in a clearing, very embarassed to have the adventurers walk in on them

- a cottage inhabited by an old woman, who is said to have strange abilities. The party initially can't tell whether she's helpful or sinister.

A pretty awesome webcomic with a cool setting and great art. A little nebulous and mysterious at times, but overall very solid.

And it's creator browses /tg/ and /co/ among other boards.

fucking thank you, left the pc on last night, woke up to find the thread had vanished.

>>44155551
Looks interesting, but I haven't got into all of the details yet, so here is some generic feedback.
At 100 pages please consider fixing your layout to include more compact tables, two column text, and/or smaller font sizes.
Also, the previous thread implies there has been a playtest session already.
Care to share the results?

I'd like to see a random roll table to help players create their setting

Region:
1. aerial
2. underwater
3. subterranean
4. volcano
5. pocket dimension
6. Newly discovered continent hiddenf rom the world at large

Location:
1. City
2. Mental Institution
3. Prison
4. War/Trenches/Jungle
5. Badlands/Wasteland
6. Laboratory

Run by:
1. Dictator
2. God King
3. Thoecracy
4. Superintelligent plasmid hating AI
5. Anarchy
6. Crime Boss

It wouldn't be necessary for everyone, but stuff like that might help springboard some ideas for people who don't want to play in one of the two game worlds already established.

All rolls will go against a specified characteristic in the style of Rogue Trader. You’ll want to roll under the characteristic value in order to pass the check. The more degrees of success (every multiple of 10 counts as 1), the more awesome of a result. A 1 is a guaranteed success, and a 100 is a guaranteed failure. Best of three rolls when it’s called for, with a 1 or a 100 instantly taking precedence. If you see multiple characteristics being called for, each 1d100 counts for its respective test.


If you have any questions/etc, just shout.

The other individual you’ve gotten to know is the First Officer, Seneschal Lion. Built like an Ogryn, he stands tall above almost everyone aboard. Yet what’s most imposing about him is his voice. Every word carries the unsaid-weight of someone who’s an expert in both matters of trade and matters of the ship. Lion has always been the first person to arrive in the Mess in the morning. Often hidden behind a dataslate, your guess is that he uses this time to catch up on all the reports that came in during the night cycle. He’s not said much to you besides polite greetings, but even that little cements your impression that this is someone you want on your side.

The individual that stands out the most, however, is the woman who joins your table for breakfast on the third day. Unlike the other white-uniformed officers, the pony-tailed blonde is clad in a tight-fitting, armored body glove and sporting two chain blades at her side. She gets straight to the point while waiting for her omelets to arrive.

“You are Navigator Primaris Senka, are you not?”

Your fork pauses on its way to your mouth. “What gave it away?”

She flashes a smile, continuing, “Born 059.M41 to Sephera and Pontius Girad, fifth in line of succession, and one of the thousand who survived the Silent Golden incident.”

“You’ve done your homework I see,” you say, setting your fork back down to give her your full attention.
“I’d be terrible at my job if I didn’t.” She places a hand on her breast for emphasis. “I am Mistress of Whispers, Nelia. It’s my understanding you’re without proper guard thanks to some excitement on the way here.”

“That’s correct,” you admit. For a spymaster she’s certainly filling the role well.

“Then it’s my duty to see you given a new one. What’s your preference? In view and imposing, or hidden and deadly?”

Seriously, guys I'm completely tapped for ideas right now.

Depends on what your PCs are. If they are mercenaries i would suggest having them protect a shipment of all too rare medicine on its way the clerics or whoever is in charge of distributing healing and supplies. Plague victims attack the shipment desperate for medicine and knowing that there isn't enough to go around.
This is assuming that your PCs are mercs, of course. if not you could have them see a shipment getting attacked, perhaps with guards defending it with brutal force on the weak plague ridden victims.

A bunch of nobles gathered together in a manor to have a party and take their minds off of the shit going down amongst the filthy peasants.

The music stopped just after midnight. Nobody has come out. The guards that went to investigate have yet to return.

The girl face brightens even further and she claps her hands together. “Fisher!” She pulls on her friend’s arm. “He’s the one that’s going to the frontier.”

They’re really jumping the gun with that one, considering that the Practical Examination deciding that fate isn’t for another half hour.

“That’s so cool, Fisher. When are you leaving, Fisher?” The boy beams politely at you.

Alright, they may not trying to be disrespectful at all, but hearing that name repeatedly really pisses you off.

You sigh, pull on your shirt, and scratch your chin. At the very least you’re going to have to set them straight about how you’ve yet to take the exam.

Kinda banned right now so hard to participate.

Also first post

I havn't seen a dedicate STALKER system.

I would say that GURPS is probably your best bet. Not because "HURF GURPS RUNS EVERYTHING HURF DURF" but because GURPS does gunplay well, specifically.

Ops and tactics.

We did AFMBE but it's really rooted in zombie horror so GURPS would be better because it's broader spectrum.

>>44223820
Mutants and Masterminds 3e, because it's the first game I've played with my amazing group and it's a fairly easy system to understand once you get into it and it's also incredibly versatile.

>>44223820
Talislanta, because it had a very simple and flexible skill and magic system in the 1980s and the world isn't your typical Euro-Medieval-Tolkien Land.

See thread here: >>44189632

If you just describe the economic aspect of Italian or German fascism without actually using the word fascism, like 90% of people will agree that it sounds like a good idea. In fact, most people wouldn't be able to meaningfully distinguish it from how the government interacts with capital today.

Like most dangerous political ideologies it seems like a really cool idea until you get to the part about actually implementing it and how much power needs to be concentrated in the hands of a small number of people for it to work.

Go start reading about Mount Celestia. Needs to be enough detail to start giving you bits about each of the layers.

Then go read about the plane of Arcadia.

When you are done reading both entries come back to /tg/ and ask the same question if you still need to.
