>Nanoworld: a Game of Clones
What's this one about? Clones are always pretty interesting.

Titan World is another good one if you're into weeb shit.

>>43935413
I googled that for you...
http://www.finemessgames.com/nanoworld-a-game-of-clones

Is Titan World based off of AoT? I would adventure in that world so hard.

Don't forget World of Dungeons & its hacks.
I'm doing Shadowrun with a Streets of Marienburg hack I made, which I promptly called Streets of the Sixth World. It's classless, so players just choose two skills, two special abilities, buy some stuff and bam, they've got a shadowrunner.

Recap:

Previously, you discovered that the Vice Administrator of GEC, Rebecca Shan, was a serial killer. Her husband, who you also suspected, turned out to be a child molester who killed mostly to continue his relationship with his wife.

On the orders of the VP, you tracked down the husband and wrested all this information from him before faking his death and handing him over to your underworld contacts.

With that out of the way, you conducted a short extermination from which you retrieved several live specimens, with the intention of selling them back to Crusty and Co.

After speaking with Crusty in the last thread and putting off an offer of employment with his organization the mysterious “Remnant”, you returned Vice-Administrator Shan’s daughter to her and agreed to dinner with her and her family later that evening. Then you debriefed with Devlinson, who expressed his affection for you as only he could, and journeyed to the GEC labs to speak with Clarissa Jones, who you paid for the files on Jeremy Yu. Clarissa also gifted you one of the termite queens you had previously captured from the Shan household and a wealth of data about it.

Once you had left GEC HQ, you turned on the tracker you had planted inside the still-living Mr. Shan and were mulling whether or not to follow the signal before it is possibly discovered.

Your van and much of your equipment is being decontaminated after being exposed to highly agressive mites. You have made a mental note to purchase body bags for contaminated specimens in the future.

Is this a good plan? You’re not sure if this is a good plan. The little marker on your Illegal phone is blinking, moving through Kowloon. They must be moving Shan somewhere to detain him but whether or not they’re headed to the current headquarters of the Remnant is debatable. Plus, you’re not sure if you’re still being tailed or not. So far no one has been so stupidly obvious as to pull up behind the Elevon but that doesn’t mean they’re not watching…

Completed Research:
>Stonestar Dissection: The strange creatures you've dubbed the Stonestars, they have no true name for themselves, referring only to their clan names and titles, are strange creatures. Five-limbs arranged radially around a central body, the stonestars brains are partially distributed throughout the limbs with the main hub of the body devoted to its digestive system and other internal organs. Their bodies are mildy caustic naturally and they appear to use that to create armor and camouflage for themselves out of volcanic rocks. The corpses you studied show signs of vivisections and surgery scars, several of their limbs containing long obsidian carved blades, a trio of stingers much like your Sting Whip, and at least one of them had a large acid gland at the base of one limb.

>Beached corpse dissection: This strange marine creature is quite large, stretching nearly 30meters from tentacle to flat tail. It's hide is made up of dense hide and blubber, its body showing many scars both old and new. It's underbelly was a mass of undulating flippers it used to move in nearly any direction in the water while its tail was used for speed and travel. It's face contains a mass of tentacles and cilia covered tendrils surrounding a circular maw filled with grinding teeth. With no eyes to speak of it appeared to communicate and visualize its surroundings with electroreceptors and an organ that could produce and receive sonar signals. It's tendrils would snatch small fish or eels to eat or draw in large amounts of the fast-growing kelp.

>Ship Fuel Harvesting/Refining: By repairing and studying the two smaller refueling and processing stations on the gas giants moons your Think Tanks can now create refueling plants with their own harvesting drones to collect the gases from gas giants used to fuel FTL engines.

>>43934228
Gained:
>Cluster Sting Whip: Similar to your original Sting Whips, the cluster version has three smaller and weaker strength barbs. Instead of a grappling or disarming weapon the barbs of the cluster sting whip are hollow can deliver a toxic payload from the venom or acid gland at the root of the organ. Cost: The venom or acid glands cost

>Sonar: By adding a special organ to a units neck and chest cavity they can now emit and detect sonar signals that are out of the range of hearing of many races. Allows vision in aquatic areas but useless in a vacuum. Cost: 2B

Your new Stonestar captive complains of the dry and cold air compared to their humid planet but they follow you around your original Mining base carefully. It's large eyes examine the alien world, the first of its kind that it knew of to leave their world and travel to a new one.

Lorgul and Agona work tirelessly, organizing troops and inspecting the installations of weapon mounts thoroughly. They were eager to tend to your warmachine and even more eager to test out their might against a worthy foe.

Nekris sits in his chair of bone and muscle as his corvette drifts through the distant system once his ships rejoined. There were still two more world for him to explore in the light of a foreign star.

There was much to attend to.

seems interesting, i'll have a look. how'd your game work out?

>>43934662
Combat rounds were resolved quickly most of the time, RP worked out decently enough for the most part. I say for the most part because one player almost seemed to go out of his way to "unintentionally" find major exploits in the way rules were worded to make certain combinations unbeatably broken. I've got a graveyard of at least 5 major version revisions.

Barring that, the game went incredibly smoothly. Though the rules are very barebones so if you're the GM, you kind of have to just get creative with how you stat things sometimes.

>>43934662
>>43934790
What he said. Ultimately, that player helped us polish the rules further, so it was a win either way.

Massive catastrophic climate change

Superbug indiscriminately kills 50% of the planet. Preppers and survivalists are equally hit as random office workers. Suddenly, no power, no water, no food. The number of dead first-worlders due to lack of sanitation and refrigeration compounds, and all those corpses mean plenty of regular diseases to thin out the initial superbug survivors.

When I originally settled the town I figured /tg/, being one of the several boards I lurk
would be perfect for this server due to the potential for roleplay and its
plugins which can make a game that can be as mundane as Minecraft interesting.

In previous months, there was a union of all the Chan boards that particpated on this
server (The ledditors there hate us) called Chanada. It has since fallen apart due to
shittery by the /k/ group's leader (/k/ is dead now) and lack of population in most
towns other than /pol/. In the interm between this anarchy and whatever new union
Tyguria as well as any remaining Chan nations are struggling to become stronger.
My goal now is to post this shill thread consistently and if anyone is interested, they may
check out our community.
Tyguria is, as I stated, a small community. If you wish to remain near a bigger and more
active populace while you learn the ropes and can handle sick banter I'd highly suggest
you start in Volkstadt, the metropolis of /pol/ynesia.
The plugins are all easy to pick-up and understand, there are not many guides detailing
them though. The Civcraft wiki [http://civcraft.gamepedia.com/Getting_Started] provides decent explanations; however,
there is a better layman's guide on the /civ/ Crip-chan board. I won't link that in the
thread though to avoid breaking the advertisment rule. I don't really like crippel chan
anyhow but the /civ/ allows us to communicate better so whatever.
Civcraft has a Reddit board for all the dregs of the server to circlejerk on, but I hate Reddit
even more than eight chun so I won't bother posting that link either. Trust me their's sub
is cancer.
Here's a list of the major plugins in case you already know how they work:
NameLayer, Citadel, JukeAlert, RealisticBiomes, ItemExchange, CivChat2

Getting started:
Civcraft random spawns you at any point just about on the map. There is no teleport so
you will have to make a long journey to make it to Tyguria most likely.
You can kill yourself to respawn somewhere else, try to aim for ~3000 blocks from Volk or
Tyguria if you choose the Sudoko Positioning route
-If you choose to start at /pol/, go to (500, 7500), you can use F3 to check your
relative map coordinates.
-If you choose to head directly to Tyguria, go to (-1190, 9220). I will be waiting there
to receive you and give you a sort of tutorial as well as provide basic housing.
Since the city is small I'll probably make exceptions to the no-shitshacks policy by
allowing you to inherit land early on to build personal houses.
There is also a Mumble server, which makes it EXTREMELY easy to coordinate withothers
from /pol/ and /tg/, you don't need a mic for Mumble and it's free so please use it.
Mumble Server Address: mc.civcraft.vg (Scroll to the bottom to find /pol/'s channel, I'll have a
/tg/ one made soon)
If you are interested in joining the server address is: mc.civcraft.vg
To make it easier on me in terms of inviting you to the /tg/ groups (Citadel plugin)
for long range chat feel free to post your IGN in the thread.
If you need help you can use /pm the_bob_namg assuming I didn't fuck off for some
reason and I'll help you. I will also be monitoring the thread and responding to any
questions or feedback so ask away!

Man, I remember the old /v/ town. That thing's still kicking around?

>>43931615
Well, taking real world experience into account.

We honestly treat other races, and even other Tribes the same as other species. This has a ton of historical precedence.

Ever heard of dehumanizing the enemy? It's so we can kill them better.

We don't forgive our own species for alien ideals, you think we'd forgive some other species?

Since our brain is extremely good at picking up patterns, we'd likely develop stereotypes against them, just like we would against a different human culture, or a pet dog.

In my homebrew, the race's are all subtlely racist against eachother. This would be advantageous to survival, so could easily be an evolved trait, however, they're all created by very jealous "gods" so it's more like the way a white blood cell would view something with different Antigen's than the host.

I've never told the players, but the way I describe the other races to them reflects a viewpoint even they don't realize is skewed.

That's my one dollar, ten cents.

>>43932603

Is there a difference between how different races view each other and how they view other ethnic groups within their own race? Does the existence of the forner at least affect how they view the latter?

>>43931514
What are you even asking? If you're looking for hypothesis on how it would play out then refer back to the novels of the authors you're referencing, Pratchett, Niven ect.

>>43931514

Read classic mythologies. Egyptian, Greek, Mayan, Norse, etc. They've all got some weird neat shit in them to take inspiration from.

Have some sort of consistent forms/magic/numina thing to connect otherwise impossible ideas, and you're set.

Maybe a sketch pad for doodling maps. You can look at old cartography. Its neat.

>>43931686
I'm looking for any steps used in the process of constructing an expanded world, really. Does the solar system come first? Or the geography of the world the campaign will take place on? It's hard for me to work on something new without a reference point.
