Archived threads in /tg/ - Traditional Games - 4601. page

Ah, finally a new tread. It seems that this fandom's stagnation keeps getting worse...

>>43790260
I think most people were coming here for spoilers. Now that snow-jax and spoiler-ken are gone and other places have spoilers, people just don't bother checking it.

I do like the bantz here on occasion though.

I don't know, can feel a bit of first wave tightening of the community in effect locally - some people are playing other games - but it's still doing pretty well, and I play the game just as much as I ever could given my current schedule.

From a personal standpoint I don't think I have anything of worth to contribute, so I'm not posting as much around here. (I mean,if after making a full thought of post I can't seem to get a conversation going, either the conversation isn't interesting, and I don't believe it, or I'm not bringing anything to the table).

From a local community perspective, I think it's part of the issue: it's hard to find interesting things to talk about. And you have to feel like the effort is worth it too (on that note: still waiting on Wyrm's next tutorial. Thanks).
A reason why spoilers make for good conversation fuel: it's brand new, so whatever you say about it is fresh, without having to exert any significant effort into it.

Maybe it's just classic end of the year slowing down, with the added vacuum of worlds just being over. I know I'm feeling tired and despondent myself. The Paris thing didn't help.

I stopped pushing them.
The game didn't survive it.

>>43786756
>What happened in your last game, /tg/?
got tired that i have to annoyingly force people to answer my messages regarding games schedule. figured if they are not interested enough to chat, they are not interested enough to play, so i stopped DMing for them

>>43786756
So, no more copypasta?

>What's a game that your usual gaming group likes but you prefer to just sit out?
Munchkin.
>What's a game you love but either haven't had a chance to get them to play yet, or they don't like?
Battletech
>What's one game you all love?
The Resistance
>What's one game you all hate?
I don't know. Monopoly, maybe?

Anyway, my sister's boyfriend is out of town for a while and she's sad. What's a game that's fun two-player that I can get to play with her, that will still be good as a group later on?

Her favorite games seem to be Sushi Go and Zombicide, so I was thinking either Fairy Tale or some kind of cooperative dungeon crawl.

>What's a game that your usual gaming group likes but you prefer to just sit out?
I once opted to not play Snowdonia once, but I relented a few months later and came second
>What's a game you love but either haven't had a chance to get them to play yet
Most of my games are kinda heavy, and I tend to pair myself off with the newcomers (gotta welcome everyone into the hobby!) so it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, really.
>or they don't like?
If people don't like the games I bring out, it's usually because they're not that great. I'm a big boy, so I've no problem with selling shit games asap.
>What's one game you all love?
Mijnlieff
>What's one game you all hate?
I'unno... ludo?

Looking for a single player game that's fun. I've heard of friday, is there anything else?

Sort of samefagging my own thread, but I figured I'd get things started by posting the Part/campaign idea I had late last thread:
>America, 1970s
>A drug-smuggling ring is gaining more and more traction, causing the FBI to panic and discover the cause
>Turns out that it's because they're employing stand users as protection
>In response, the Speedwagon Foundation enlists a group of FBI Agents, Police Officers, US Soliders, etc. who all have stands as a special task force to neutralize the stand users and track down the boss of the operation
>The leader of the task force is a young but decorated New York City police officer born to an Irish father and an English mother, both immigrants
>His name: Joshua J. O'Malley, or JoJo
>The team's stands are all named after singles by The Police, Joshua's being「ROXANNE」
>Their assignments send them across the nation, as well as a bit into Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean
>Eventually, they find themselves face-to-face with the boss of the operation, who explains his ambition
>Evidently, unlike most people who develop their stands in their youth, he developed his stand while coked out of his fucking mind, and the combination of the spiritual high and the physical high was an unmatched level of ecstasy
>He's never been able to match that high since
>He does, however, have a way to feel that high again: by using the power of his stand,「COCAINE」
>This stand allows him to powder any substance, and have its essence enter his body when snorted
>The boss wishes to obtain the Stand Arrows, as well as the meteorite from which they were forged, in order to create himself a lifetime supply of stand-giving cocaine, selling off the excess to the highest bidder
>The final battle occurs after he manages to get his hands on a stand arrow and snort it, giving him a new, much more powerful stand,「TEARS IN HEAVEN」

Old Thread >>43686792

"But why GURPS?"

1) The splatbooks/worldbooks are universally written by people who know what they're talking about. The Fantasy book is written by archaeologists and historians, the Space book is written by astrophysicists, the Guns book is written by gun experts, etc. The factual mistakes are few and far between, and almost always acknowledged later. They give great advice on how to make believable worlds, how FTL affects society, how magic changes warfare, how real supernatural elements change secret societies... or how to ignore all realism and make whatever setting you want in a way that players can't take advantage of. They're great reads, even if you don't use the system.

2) GURPS has rules to handle anything. You don't need to use them all (why bother with rules for asphyxiating in a vacuum in a game about biker gangs?) but they're there. So if a game doesn't go where you expect, and your party of adventurers buy a wagon and start managing a merchant caravan company, there are books to support that style of play in a systemic way, integrated with the core rules in a way that makes sense. This also makes it great for crazy blends of game. Dungeonpunk with automatic firearms? Yes.

3) GURPS by default uses "heroic realism". This is when the odds on the heroes' sides but reality doesn't bend for them. Two bullets will knock a human unconscious (but not immediately kill him - this is fairly realistic) but hitting a moving target more than 100m away in a firefight is hard as hell. It suits games that go for a realistic or gritty feel and gives a break from the slightly cartoony damage sponges in games like D&D but can be customised with optional rules to change the feel from "Fuck You, There Are No Heroes and the World is Shit" right up to "The Heroes are Good and Always Triumph Over Evil". Incidentally, what makes it heroic realism also makes it the best game on the market to play a game about Operators Operating Operationally.

Requesting the /tg/-version now.

Is GURPS even that common outside the GURPS generals? Personally I've stopped recommending it on /tg/ because people just cry about it. The only time I bring it up outside of the general threads are when people ask if "Is there a game with rules for X?".

>>43764342
What is space engine if you don't mind me asking? Also is it a thing I need to buy to use on the computer?

>>43764425
http://en.spaceengine.org/

It's free, basically procedural universe generator. I strongly recommend using Reshade/Mastereffect with it to make it not look like ass.

>>43764450
I'm sorry to say I don't know what either of those things are, I was born in 1974.

When I was your age, the atari was considered "cool" and "the system of the future".

However I have many worlds I've created over the years, and the idea of making worlds in the way you are doing with space engine intrigues me, though my old as hell computer might not be able to use it. We'll see.

>>43763421
Begging for 3.5 books or 4e shadowrun books.

Lost mine when my computer's battery exploded.

>>43763560
Got the shadowrun books, just need some 3.5.

Begging bump then I will let it die.

Anyone have HeroQuest?

No real time to do anything for it more than this at the moment, but I'll be working some more on weapons next while piecing together ideas for a few more rule details. Anything specific folks want to see?

So, how many of you actually own a proper GW team?

My Orcs are a mix of 40k and Fantasy from about 2005, so no nice new Orks or plastic Black Orcs, my Chaos are the old plastic Warriors and one-piece Beastmen with a Warhammer Quest Mino, and my Khemri are Heroquest Mummies and the first plastic Skeletons.

I have a couple of the Star Players and a few metal Orcs and that's it.

A more recent pic.

>>43745342
All my teams at the moment are GW minis, mostly made from official BloodBowl minis.I clipped a 5th ed Block Orc for a spare blocker, and clipped some old metal saurus for my lizards, other wise all official.
