GW made their bones by ripping EVERYBODY off. MM was just one of over a thousand "influences," implicit and explicit, so ...

Oh boy, it's THIS false equivalency thread again.

Here's a much scarier question. What would have happened if GW decided to base Warhammer off Terry Badkind instead of Michael Moorcock?

During the Roman days, yeah. Rome was never able to conquer their territories because they were a freakishly strong warrior race that knew how to take advantage of their land.

And once Rome lost control of Britannia, the Germans later crossed the waters and unleashed a mass genocide on the people there, raping their women and "colonizing" the island.

Very orcish. At least historically.

>>43690230
No. I'm pretty sure they're from Scottland, actually. Orkney, to be specific.

>>43690577
That article is bullshit, buddy. Hell, even the name is silly, since the English have been referring to themselves as Anglo-Saxon for forever, so Britain's certainly not "more Germanic than it thinks." And the Romans did conquer Germany, by the way.

In answer to OP's question, well, it depends. Tolkien's orcs were not Germanic, at all. They were Asian. Think Mongolian horde.

It would be totally appropriate to make orcs Germanic though, since to the Romans the Germans were the epitome of a savage warrior race.

Hell, one of the interesting things about European history is how the pacifistic religion of Christianity was adopted by the savage Germans, but in the process we ended up with this weird mix of culture that ended up in the crusades.

How's this look for Babby's First Elf Army? Obviously, trying to switch from Fantasy to KoW.

Always loved the Sea Guard concept, arrogant elves that shoot you to pieces and then you charge them and they lance you. In this game it can be done without 1+ chaos cavalry raping them.

>What makes people do this shit?

4chan, or rather the internet in general. It's a giant hugbox where these people can find others like themselves and convince themselves that the way they are is normal and acceptable and any problems their behavior causes is everyone else's fault... you know, instead of learning from the people around them through real interaction and adapting like most socially healthy people do.

>>43689725

Dude just wants to play the game that he wants to play.

Imagine if you wanted to play DnD, but it was the height of the satantic panic so every time you tried to bring it up or get a game going everyone would get upset and call you a devil worshiper.

My group is thankfully free of pony nonsense, but I won't pretend that I don't understand why the dude would be frustrated. Its got to suck having a hobby that draws that kind of flak, especially since the guy seems to lack social awareness enough to recognize why inviting a bunch of highschoolers to his house is going to raise red flags.

>>43690683
It would be like you wanted to play D&D at the height of the satanic panic, only fully one in three D&D games was actually about murdering babies for Satan.

I get why the guy could be put out, but it's really his own fault for wanting to fuck cartoon horses.

You'd probably get more people here if you caught their filters properly.

Old Thread >>43614380

"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.

I love Sorcery!

If quarterstaffs are actually meant to get a massive +4 bonus to parry it would say so somewhere.

Shadowrun

>>43686733
I do have a soft spot for Shadowrun but the fantasy elements stick out like a sore thumb evening if they were a refluffed. Besides it's rules never seemed like the greatest desu.

Same goes for cyberpunk 2020 even though the world is probably closer
I've heard good things about Interface era and I'm not sure savage worlds carries concept well.

>>43686783
Savage Worlds is my typical go-to, but yeah I don't think it would fit well, it's more for goofy actiony games (honestly I think it would be better for Shadowrun than Shadowrun's system.)

As for system I for Deus Ex I recommend the obvious GURPS. That's a given. But I also thing Eclipse Phase with some refluffing could really work. And finally I think Edge of the Empire is super super fun and can be tweaked for a lot of different games. You could set up so specialization trees for different cybernetic implants to define character progression more as cybernetic upgrades. Not everyone's cup of tea though, I just love it.

''And so this is how it ends, the same place where it began. Poetic, don't you think?''

the Jade class Frigate seems pretty simple in design, but the number of rings and the weapon chosen can all be modified to produce different weapons. This variant comes with one Gauss cannon, I believe.

Instead of the usual dump shots down onto the planet method, the Shaltari use these Turquoise cruisers to stir up the planets field and generate massive storms and earthquakes in an isolated area, with the Shaltari's impressive tech managing to keep this occurrence centered on a small area.

Shaltari can definitely fight though. This class of ship has three burn through lasers that are supposedly more efficient and damaging then their UCM cousins. Considering how effective 2 weaker lasers proved to be, 3 stronger lasers could be very interesting.

Well my mahou shoujo rpg is progressing, the ruls for despair got a little tweak and are now finished. Next I will go through rules for powers to see that they're still ok.

I realized though that I'll need to make a character sheet, and am now trying to decide if I should just put together something in photoshop that'll probably pixelate nicely when printed, or if I should try to make it with openoffice writer's shape tools which are sadly lacking.

Lynch is fun, so long as Hungering Darkness' derpy model doesn't put you too off.

>>43659917
Naw, Hungering Derpness looks adorable.

Not so sold on the card dealing spirit thing attached to Lynch though...

>>43660231

I *think* that's relatively easy to leave off his model.

But yeah, his thematic crew's good. Hungering Derpness is super killy and one upgrade can keep reviving him. Lynch himself is pretty average but he has amazing card control shenanigans.
