would a trading card game WITHOUT shuffling work?
like, you not only build your deck, but you also decide the order of cards that you will draw over the whole game from start to beginning.

Play Dominion, and you will see exactly how it works.
>>
It'd need a huge amount of counterplay and response.
Like, I'd almost see it being better for each player to just lay out their cards on the table rather than bothering with a deck to a predetermined amount.
So each player can set down any three cards, for example, and then take turns revealing them and resolving their effects. So player one might play an attack, but then player two set a counter to that attack for his card, so on and so forth.
Problem with the system is that it's massively about guessing your opponents actions which means you need defined actions and order to make it work(otherwise you're basically laying down cards blind), and the deck options need to be limited in order for the system to work.
And even then, I think you're losing complexity with this idea, because you can only have so many play/counter play style workings without it getting so complicated that it's no longer possible to read your opponent.

Whats a good scifi rpg kinda like the EVE universe. I also really wanted to try Battletech but the book requires that you also play the table top if you want to include mechs which I guess isn't a problem but if you put a mech on the cover the cocktease that gives a player is off putting

Yes, Battletech is for playing the time between missions. It's really just for that universe.
Use Fate. It's easy and quick, and produces fantastic stories. Buy a scifi setting if you want, there's a bunch.

Mass Effect is actually a really good scifi universe, if you don't mind aliums. Lots of background material, lots of unexplored space to make your own material in.

Lets figure a system to play in the world of One Punch Man.
>Make hero by entering exam
>Fight crime and the occasional monster
>In lieu de leveling up, go up in ranks C,B,A,S
>Have popularity ranking that could influence other heros/people/gifts/advertisements
Any other thoughts?
What kind of character building system would work well?

OPM is literally just a game of Wild Talents where everyone except for one of the players is new to the system.
>>
Well it'd be fun if we could actually fucking play it and not spend time creating a chart just to look at.
>>
The big thing is that there's a PR/expenses maintenance thing alongside your actual battles, and that every battle should be on a timer (that can be increased or decreased) until OPM arrives, defeats the monster, and gets the credit.

Hey /tg/,
So lately I've been interested in the Fusion off the psionic power list. I play a wizard and have no way of obtaining it on my own.
I was wondering if anyone knew a way I could get access to it. I was thinking maybe using Wish for a template that provides psi-like abilities, but I can't think of any that give access to Fusion. I was also maybe thinking about using the wish to ask for an item that can manifest Fusion, but preferably I'd like to have it as an innate ability.

It's subject to DM approval, but I thought there were suggestions in the DMG about researching original spells. You could either research it (or Wish for it) as an appropriately leveled spell.
>>
>>44143716
you can't wish for it, it is a level 8 spell and wish can only duplicate
>Duplicate any wizard or sorcerer spell of 8th level or lower, provided the spell is not of a school prohibited to you.
>Duplicate any other spell of 6th level or lower, provided the spell is not of a school prohibited to you.
>Duplicate any wizard or sorcerer spell of 7th level or lower even if it’s of a prohibited school.
As a psionic spell it falls into "6th level or lower" for wish duplication.
>>
>>44148073
>As a psionic spell it falls into "6th level or lower" for wish duplication.
No, it doesn't, since it's not a spell. It is a power. Powers can't be duplicated by Wish by default at all.
However, there is a hypothetical solution for OP anyway, without involving "the DM let me use Wish". You can probably use the Chameleon Crafting Archivist to get Fusion onto the divine spell list. From there, you can figure out how to shuffle it over to the arcane list. It'd be highly complicated but probably doable.
Seriously though, OP, ask your DM.

Date: 200 ABO, Year of the Shield, October 17th
Location: Imperial Capitol City of Letherdorn, Palace District
After landing in Letherdorn, you were greeted by the Royal Guard. The took you and Holly directly from the Zeppelin to the Imperial Palace. Apparently the Fylkir wants to meet with you. In privet.
The tale of you causing the Telvish retreat has spread like wild fire. Holly, sadly, is not brought with you, but she tells you that she is going to track down her parents and have a messenger find you. She gave you a kiss on the cheek before departing.
Before her leaving, your noticed something strange, on her chest, between her breasts, there was a strange green glow. You are not sure how you might investigate this.
That aside
The Imperial Palace is every bit as massive as it looks. You are currently in some sort of meeting you, which has a chair built specially for you. You sit in it, waiting. On the table in front of you is a small black book with an 'F' on it, a bottle of extremely fancy wine, with two glasses, and a large throne like chair. At the doorway, two high ranking Royal Guards stand. You can feel their eyes on you. They are armed with strange glowing weapons, made of a materiel you cannot identify.
They appear to be lax, but the moment the door opens the stand at attention. A young man walks in, with messy grey hair, an eye patch, tanned skin, and a mechanical arm. His pointed ears stick out of his hair. He has a dead pan serious expression on his face. He motions for the guards to leave, and they do so without question.
He sits at the chair across from you, and takes the little black book, opening it, he writes something down.

"Gabriel." His voice is deeper than one of his age should be. "The savior of Kelvin. The ultimate war machine, they say." He taps his pen. "I have to say, you are quite the sight." He nods. "Why exactly did you chose to defend Kelvin? You could have just as easily done nothing. You had no stake in the cities fate... Or did you?"
Well, what do you say to the God King of the Imperium?

You are Captain Kusajishi Riku, and you must look like quite the sketchy customer right now.
Your fellow Captain Kyōraku Shunsui has been rather trounced in your recent duel, and you've taken the time to wrap him up in his own garish pink hoari before slinging him over your shoulder. The end of your zanpakuto's sheath has been thrust into the knot in Shunsui's clothing, allowing you to trail him behind you almost like a cloak.
“Hold still,” you insist, “or I'll shave off your beard.”
He laughs the threat off. “Don't do that, if you did I'd lose all my masculine charm!”
“You really weren't taking our fight seriously, were you?”
“Not in the least,” Shunsui admits. “I just wanted to make it look like I tried, so nobody'd bug me about it later.”
You sigh, picking up the pace a little in hopes that you can avoid anyone else seeing you until you get to the Head Captain's office. “If you weren't so lazy you might have taken the Old Man's place by now.”
“Now you're giving me too much credit,” he replies calmly. “I just don't have the work ethic. You'd probably make the better Head Captain of the two of us.”
“What makes you think I've got the patience?” you ask with a smirk.
Although you've been frustrated lately at the amount of people willing to dogpile on you for an apparent murder you haven't actually committed yet, something good has actually come out of this last encounter. While fighting against Shunsui Tenkotsuki managed to confirm that he was indeed under the active influence of Captain Aizen, who is still alive and well. You also confirmed that he was likely nearby, hiding himself with a reiatsu-blocking cloak.

No game is better than a bad game, anon.
But don't despair, there's online games via Roll20 or IRC, sometimes available through our gamefinder threads.
There are also gamebooks and solo RPG modules and systems for if you really want to roll some dice and can't get anyone else lined up. (Which is a problem even for folks who have a regular group. Sometimes people don't show)
In addition, any one of the various GM emulators can make almost any non-solo RPG playable for one person.

You are Irue Valen, blood heir to House Valen, leader of a small corp of peasants whom you had recently promoted to knights, and primary participant of the traditional Rite of Initiation in the Valen family line. You had companions, the majority of which have either gone missing or had terrible things occur due to your own negligence. Currently you had decided to dedicate one of the precious few days you had to investigating the less legal side of Carona in hopes of finding a lead towards two of those individuals.
What seems like nearly a year ago, you had sent Kara and Asche towards Carona in the hopes of tracking down the Tier sisters so they could tell you where Caylen was. While the plan had been expected to go off without a hitch, the fact that you hadn't heard a single thing from them in the interim, even long after you had already found Caylen and pulled off a rescue on his besieged estate, left you feeling understandably uneasy.
What had happened to them? While you could understand Kara taking the opportunity to bolt, why hadn't Asche returned yet? Had the two of them just been swallowed up by Carona like the Tier family had?
Your shadow had suggested that their trail through Carona may have been more noticeable in the underside of it, which had led to the current problem you found yourself being forced to muddle through:
How does one just decide to walk into a metaphorical social network of people who try to keep their activities away from prying eyes?
