Depends on the setting.jpg

>>43708388
I think it's more a question of personal preference, although setting does seem to influence the answer.

Hitting a real suit of armor worn over ballistics gel and then using precision laser instruments to determine the exact quantifiable damage done to the gel.

wow what a pussy

>>43708104
Damage reduction. Have accuracy and evasion be a separate thing.

If you swing a sword at them and roll low, that represents the armor deflecting the blow, or absorbing most of the impact.

Hitting weak spots or gaps in the armor and overcoming damage reduction that way (such as with a dagger) is then represented by some sort of sneak attack mechanic, critical hits, or by a similar system where you have to take time to aim and set up a called shot.

You get one.
New Synths are really good, pretty much invalidate your whole synergy with data uplink the army is known for though.

>>43707872
The whole reason Synths were added is to finally give us options that can work outside of broadcast range ( the biggest problem we've had for like 2 editions).

Who best faction here?

>>43707635
inb4 naked because otherwise I can't use them magical tattoos.

I played a character in a MUD for years that roleplayed being from the poor part of town - unable to read and write, not skilled at combat, and generally airheaded and happy go lucky.

Eventually, he was fielded as a royal guardsman for the crown, and gained a fuckload of noteriety for being a generally upstanding as fuck guy, truthful to a fault and dumb as a bag of rocks with good intentions.

Then someone made the mistake of kidnapping his woman. Literal OOC years of training, and nearly a decade IC'ly training in secret meant that he was one of the most powerful combat characters on the server. The Hell that rained down on the man who kidnapped his girl was brief, but remarkable in its brutality. In the aftermath of the bloodshed, his woman decided that she didnt want to be with a monster, the Crown decided it didnt want to be associated with such a violent criminal, and the organized crime of the city decided that he was too fucking insane to keep on the payroll.

He spent the rest of his days drinking silently in abandoned bars, and the only people not afraid to approach him were young kids, who he'd tell stories to until the sun grew dim.

It was a good character.

Congrats on the cool grapple. And hey, magical tattoos are cool, and the fact that there's good art makes it worth it.

One time with a paladin in a Pathfinder game I benignly decided to let a priest of a god of treachery continue his worship in a town, and wouldn't you know it, he stabs the paladin in the back. It wounds him, but doesn't kill him, and the paladin just turns around, quietly admonishes him, and cuts his head off in one swing.

With a short-lived bard, he fought in a tournament and with a lucky crit he managed to skewer the enemy opponent with his rapier and win the fight in one hit without even taking one himself.

Only other time that sort of counts was when my decker in a Shadowrun game hacked a mall door so well he got access to the whole mall for a brief time, and used a giant 90% off certain items sale to bring everyone from a would-be bomb site to the mall. Of course, the moment was marred when he nearly got chased down by two mall cops.

Toon or Cartoon Action Heroes? The first is for wackiness, and the second is for cheesy yet harmless heroics. But I'd have to look at the systems a bit more to see if they'd fit well enough for 90s cartoon sitcoms (like Angry Beavers above)

>>43707698
Toon sitcom style. Supers have plenty of choices, but I've yet to find anything I could run non-supers in.

>>43707698
>>43707748
And now I realize those aren't genres, but actual rpg titles. I'll have to check out Toon.

Stop making shitty quests.

Option C, bruh.

Love me some collapsed capitols

>>43707010
>C: The Ruins of Wallstanings, a former stronghold and capital city now lays in pieces. Few of the original inhabitants remain as most fled surely leaving things for the taking.

It sounds like you're talking about netdecking as buying cards online, rather than taking lists and getting the cards however you want

>>43706930
Run of the mill dickweeds, it is inevitable. They will do moderately well, but as with all players or commanders that slavishly follow conventional wisdom and are incapable of original thought or deep understanding, will get their asses kicked by someone who does.

It makes me feel kinda old. Back in the day there wasn't really a way to do that shit. I mean, sure, there was the internet and maybe once in a blue moon you could get something reliably shipped, but for the most part you were buying booster packs, trading with people, and figuring everything out by yourself. Nowadays you would never buy a booster. Ever. It's just not worth it when you can get whatever singles you want to tailor to that exact strategy you read on message board #356. Netdecking just kills any wonder or magic the game would've had otherwise.

Dead game indeed, the last thread died at 95 replies. Where is everyone?

>>43707405
No one plays this shitty game anymore. Good riddance

>>43707405
>Where is everyone?
I'm waiting for the indictor.

I have a question though.
How wasted is a devout on Vindictus?

I'm thinking of using him as my "I'm worried about being assasinated" drop. Which shield guard and sac pawn are fairly redudant, spell barrier is nice. And I could always shield guard the monolith bearer or something.

Thoughts?

>>43706361
People just find it very hard to think of races in any term other than stereotypes.

>>43706361
>Why do this?
Its easy and people are lazy.

Link to this post if you think OP doesn't actually have a gaming group.

Its harder to make a coherent brand for selling toys out of that many gods.

>>43706320
there would probably still be "major" gods, at least compared to the others.

Like warhammer fantasy.

>>43706287
Scientific language purged of Germanic words would be Latin mixed with bits of Greek. English is a Germanic language after all.

How is this /tg/?

Completed Research

> Superior implants and symbionts – Further refinement of implant technology and all parasites has led to the researcher’s determining that it should be possible to take the technology a step even farther and render restrictions for the implantee’s safety unnecessary.

>Lich’s ritual chamber – Your captured lich seemed to be rather surprised that this chamber existed, from the knowledge of the lich Hestia was able to understand how the chamber operates, fueled by the souls of countless lives. The chamber was decommissioned after understanding how it operates. Hestia thinks that further study of TWIN should enable recreation of the effect without trapping souls. Furthermore successfully replicating the chamber in this manner should enable creation of empowering locations for all types of magic.

>Undead paladin's lightning sword – The method of sealing the spell in an active state and using the tool as an anchor for magical power is the only unique thing Hestia has found with regard to the sword. More research will be needed to understand what will happen with all permutations of this enchantment application. Magical pure elemental and spell weapons can be created now.

>Faerie Tale Books – Further study of the books has revealed that once read the book’s magic is consumed similar to that of other magically created writing. Hestia’s work with the hell invitations has led to a new path of enchantment research that should enable her to create similar items to transport someone to anyplace Hestia knows rather than just the four planes discovered from the books.

Ongoing research

Optimal worship methods (Completion soon final chance for input)


Ongoing special projects

>Purification swarm – The swarm’s makeup suddenly shifted again after you used your power. Hestia notes that Djinnistan is now fully under the influence of the swarm, and as such Djinnistan now has slowly shifting seasons. The two halves of the swarm drift about changing everything unable to resist its influence, sometimes the population is good and just and the other season returns the population to normal. It seems that first severing Iblis’ influence has caused the swarm to no longer be overtly evil, or perhaps it’s just from your perspective the normal behavior of the djinn qualifies as evil.

>Djinnistan modernization – At Ayla’s request Hestia is assisting in improving Djinnistan’s infrastructure. The three major cities under Ayla’s control will be upgraded fairly quickly, beyond that Hestia has no estimate as to how long this project will take. The speed of technological development is astonishing to the djinn who have always just used magic for everything, this disruption in the social order is increasing the acceptance of Ayla’s reforms in general. The scope of this project is delaying your research speed.

>Colony ship restoration – Despite their worry and getting into Hestia’s way the elves now have their ship restored. The full restoration of the ship’s systems has made them happy and eager to move on, the main commander of the mission has also been awaked from cryo-sleep and wants to speak to you.

Good. No one cares about how UNIQUE your mechanics are, (except for some people around here) we just want something that works.
