Here's the latest DF book.
100% of published fourth edition material is now in the MEGA archive.
I'd like to take a moment and ask that you consider paying for some of this stuff, even though I'm helping distribute it for free. SJ Games have been very cool when it comes to dealing with their fans and are generally the kind of company which deserves some support. So why not show some appreciation? It doesn't have to be a huge amount; anything is better than nothing. But if you paid for half the stuff you use then you would still be getting fantastic value for money.
I get that some people are really poor and some people want to read everything without necessarily paying for stuff they aren't really going to use. But if you can afford it and you do use it, maybe think about paying for at least some of it? That way SJG stays in business, GURPS keeps making a profit and we keep getting books.

BLACK FRIDAY CONSUMERIST BULLSHIT EDITION
Heads up: I was just at Barnes & Noble and, though they didn't advertise it- all or nearly all board games are buy one get one 50% off.
I'm newish to tabletop and picked these casualish games up during the sale:
>Forbidden Island
>Love Letter
>Sushi Go!
>Coup
How'd I do?
Also, what are y'all's analog gaming hauls so far?
>>Forbidden Island
>Love Letter
>Sushi Go!
>Coup
These are the games my friends play almost exclusively. Toss in some Avalon, a little CaH, Bang! dice, and maybe a rare game of Settlers, and that's what my crew rolls with.
>>43856303
Spyfall is amazing.
I like more worker placement games, Tzolk'in: The Mayan Calendar, trajan, stone age.
Netrunner, dominion.
Really, just start looking on boardgamegeeks for the top 100 list and sign up for game-exchanges. I think SA + BGG have swaps.
Can anyone recommend some good co-op or low competitiveness games? Ideally with cheerful themes?
By low-competitiveness, I mean where it's difficult to screw over other players as opposed to building your own stuff up and 'attacks' tend to hit everyone. For example Lords of Waterdeep or Dominion.
Also, if co-op games don't have a 'traitor' mechanic or are at least playable without one, that's a bonus. One player being 'GM' from the start is OK though.
Basically, I need games with minimum chances of causing butthurt.

I'm perfectly happy with getting a new edition of "the periphery" every five years and like 1-2 entries per TRO as the entirety of periphery fluff, as it used to be.
fact is, if the writers are not writing about happenings in the periphery, you are basically free to make up whatever you want without having to deal with the metaplot, which is a lot better than what we're getting now

As long as it doesn't get delayed too much. If it ships in June I'll be happy as many KS go WAY beyond their due date.

Assuming their as naive and kind as in your description, they probably react with some mixture of horror and sadness. "Oh my god that's so tragic!"

Currently playing GR tron, only missing 1 karn and the playset of groves, which i might sub for karplusan forests. Fucking groves are 60$ now its absurd.
What's the most "out there" character you've ever played? Not personality, but backstory. Who had the strangest origin, where the rules or assumptions were bent over backwards to allow the concept to work?
Have you ever had anyone who was put to sleep and woke up several decades later? Maybe a Mage from a Faerie Glade, or a Changeling who escaped 100 years after they left? Or maybe a year before they were taken?
Maybe you've played an alien, or the child of a Spirit? A spontaneous Embrace, of a corpse that died and became a Vampire with no real Sire (or an Ascending One who used that one Elixir)? If you've never done anything like that, have you ever thought about that kind of concept?

I read some basics things about World of Darkness and something seemed odd to me. Doesn't the way damage is handled mean that people who are already covered in damage take virtually less damage from things that inflict more extreme kinds of damage?
>>43849885
how do you get that out of it?
>>43849722
I once had an NPC in the works for a nHunter game that was gonna be a Malkovian with split personalities; one was a gay dude who sold weed and hung out around a college campus at night(the character's original personality), the other was a straight chick who did masquerade-risking graffiti all over the city.
I ended up not using them, though, and almost recycled the idea for a V20 game a few months back; only the guy was a male nurse who was still in the dark, and his 'sister' emerged pretty much any time kindred got involved. I dropped that, though, because it became clear I'd basically only ever play the chick in any interesting situations.

have you considered the most versatile commander in the entire game?
Obligatory, get this out of the way.
R/W players, would you play your new dub strike IF she had haste. Or what kind of synergy would you suggest? More battle master abilities? And destruction? Combat damage into impluse aura on your other creatures and it?
