3.X/PF fucking blows pig cock.
Okay, now that that's out of the way, I was thinking of instituting a houserule to make the Profession skills more useful.
Putting ranks into a profession gives you membership with a guild associated with that profession.
Each guild has its own list of guild skills.
You may put skill points into your guild skills as though they were class skills if that skill isn't already on your class skills list. However, the maximum number of skill points you can put into a guild skill is equal to your skill rank in that guild's associated Profession skill.
So you put points into a useless skill to open up three or four more useful ones, and hopefully spend fewer points overall than you would buying skills cross-class style.
And you get a contact and roleplaying opportunities out of it.
I should add that guilds in my setting are all fronts for criminal syndicates.
Example: local laws forbid open carrying of weapons within the cities, but everyone is allowed to carry tools associated with their profession. Guess which profession is associated with big, nasty looking blades:Butchers
Post and critique houserules, I guess.

Or you can just play something else.
RuneQuest has rules for guilds/cults/etc. built in without a broken skill system, casters sidestepping skills entirely (despite having some of the best access to them), and a desperate reliance on minmaxing.
>>
>>43958586
All skills that give synergy to other synergy skills can be used with the synergistic skill as a separate check, adding a bonus to the original check for how much the other check beat the DC. DM fiat applies for stupid shit as always.
y/n?

It's kind of like the challenge of fixing up an old Model-T and modifying it into a Hot Rod.
Like using oldschool D&D to play Alice in Wonderland + Dracula, or using 4E D&D to play mecha vs. kaiju.

What would be some interesting alignment systems other than the classic good-evil/law-chaos?
/tg/'s homebrew Zelda RPG used the 3 divine virtues of the triforce -- power, courage, and wisdom. This works well, because it's quite straightforward to interpret an action according to these virtues -- if you're acting with brute force, that's power. If you're acting based on careful calculation and reasoning, that's wisdom. If you're acting despite great great risk, or otherwise acting in such a way that synthesizes the other two virtues to overcome adversity, that's courage. It's a bit confusing in theory, but quite simple in practice.
An idea I had that has probably been used somewhere, but that I've never seen is Heart and Mind. Rhyme and Reason. Romanticism and Enlightenment. The right and left hemispheres of the brain. These are roughly analogous to chaos and law, but they're still distinct in that they're on a bit of a deeper level -- it's more about personality than philosophy.I may or may not have been listening to way too much Rush lately.
One idea that I've thought up recently is a threefold alignment system consisting of science, religion and esotericism. There can be conflict between them, but no one is intrinsically opposed to any other. Religion and science together is things like catholic scientist monks. Esotericism and science is things like hermetic alchemy. Esotericism and religion is things the kabbalah.
What have you got, /tg/?

You have five minutes to explain to me why Science Fantasy is not the greatest genre.
It's literally everything good about Fantasy and Science Fiction put together into one glorious clusterfuck.

But it's also not Science Fiction or Fantasy, so it lacks the things that makes those things those things.
It's all subjective. Just because someone wants to play Fantasy doesn't mean they also want to play Science Fantasy.

>>43956733
Sometimes science fantasy embodies the worst of those two genre. Like in your pic.

You stuck your nose in our business, you got cold and harsh pragmatism. Do you think we enjoy killing our loyal brothers and the civilians we swore to protect? No, but if it comes to that to keep our secrets kept, there will be nothing we aren't willing to do. If the galaxy knew our dark past now perhaps we would get leniency, but our founding fathers would have received merciless persecution and were forced to damn their successors.

I know it's a meme but actually GURPS.
Hello /tg/ its time for a name thread.
Tell us about that character you started thinking about, or that npc you may drop on the players soon, and the others will give them a name. (or perhaps other traits if you need them)
Alternatively, post a name you have created, and others say what kind of character would have that name.

I'm making a king of yet to be selected race for a 10 minutes into the future modern fantasy where the fantasy races have admitted that human tech is growing too fast for their magic to stay ahead of. Rather than be discovered, they've chosen to make themselves known. This King is fulfilling a prophecy that one of the party will believe targets them by making them suffer and fail in order to become the hero they need to be to basically stop the apocalypse. I just don't know what to call him. P.S. He sacrifices his own child to fulfill his prophecy.

So as someone who as looked upon L5R with admiration for a long time, for it's deep setting and novel system, I've also wanted to run it. I have many ideas for characters, and I have a group of willing players I can trust.
The only problem is I know its a very fluff heavy system with a lot of splatbooks and the like. What would you consider mandatory intro reading, aside from the core rulebook, for someone to know enough to run L5R? What about to play it?
Hair Metal scorpion related.

Emerald Empire and Great Clans.
>>
>>43955510
From most to least important, all 4th edition:
Emerald Empire
Book of X (Where X = Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and Void, in any order)
Imperial Histories (Or IH2. Find the era you plan to run in. Or look through for historical context to fit your own era in the empty times between big events)
The Great Clans
Secrets of the Empire (Bump this up for a Minor Clan game)
Enemies of the Empire (Bump this up for a Ronin game)
Sword and Fan
Imperial Archives (Most of this is just fluff that didn't fit anywhere else, but there is errata in the back)
I'd say at least look at Emerald Empire and the Elemental books. Players can get by with just the core book (And Emerald Empire if you want them to really act out their characters), but they'll probably want to at least see the character options in Great Clans and the Book of X series.
>>
>>43955788
Why put the element books so high? Most of them is just optional crap and fringe fluff, I'd put them well below EotE and Great Clans personally.

Yone's things have been packed up with his body, and you're still not entirely certain who's going with you and Leigh the morning you're supposed to set off. Irene's still working it out too, so you postpone leaving by a couple hours.
All works out for the best, anyway. There's some stuff you absolutely can't set out without stocking up on.
While you're perusing bags of coffee to take for the trip (there's this high-end imported goods store that Irene swears by), you spy a familiar bespectacled man with an ethereal arm, accompanied by an unremarkably-intimidating and muscular bodyguard lady with a heavily-scarred face.
"Er, Mage General Yancy?" You greet the man quietly.
This earns the ire of the guard (doesn't look all too bright of a lady), but General Yancy stops her advance with a raise of his magic hand. "It's alright, Irma. We're acquainted." Noticing your choice in items, he grins. "And my wife told General Corneria that Teege wouldn't like that stuff. Irene cut you off from her own supplies or something?"
