kicking the ball off here with this.
this is the setting document and all the fluff I have.

I'm brewing off the system for World of Darkness

I'm chipping away slowly, I have some monster stats, but I still need maps because I'm shit at them and nothing I try to make ever turns out good...

Here's something cool posted in previous threads.

1.Was the station 100% self sustaining before the war or reliant on earth bound shipments of food and supplies?

2. Did the station have any launch capability and launch vechicles that could reach earth?

>>43460533
Read it again they are self sustaining.

How long has it been since the war? Years? Decades? Centuries?

Madness, depression and apathy on board seem likely after the nuclear exhcange happens and Earth seems to go silent. A perfect stage for tragedy.

"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!

Alllrighty, how do I stat liches for your usual DnD-like fantasy power level?

I guess high points Wizard + Skeletal Undead without brittle quality is a good start. What else?

It is 224 years since the Battle of the Wabash, also known as St Clair's Defeat and the Battle of a Thousand Slain. It was fought in what is now the state of Ohio, between the United States and the Western Confederacy of American Indians, as part of the Northwest Indian War. It is one of the worst defeats, in percentage of casualties, suffered by the United States Army, and was also the largest victory ever won by American Indians.

The Indians were led by Little Turtle of the Miamis. The war party numbered more than 1,000 warriors, including Shawnees, Delawares and Potawatomis from eastern Michigan and the Saint Joseph. The opposing force of about 1,000 Americans was led by General Arthur St. Clair. The forces of the American Indian confederacy attacked at dawn, taking St. Clair's men by surprise. Of the 1,000 officers and men that St. Clair led into battle, only 24 escaped unharmed. As a result, President George Washington forced St. Clair to resign his post and Congress initiated its first investigation of the executive branch.

St. Clair had been ordered into the Ohio River valley by Washington to suppress the Miami, who had defeated several previous expeditions. His force consisted of the 1st and 2nd Infantry, an artillery battalion, and roughly three regiments' worth of levies and Kentucky militia. Various logistics and supply problems greatly slowed his preparations. The new recruits were poorly trained and disciplined, the food supplies substandard and the horses were of poor quality. The US force included 600 regulars, 800 conscripts and 600 militia at its peak, for a total of around 2,000 men. Desertion reduced this to around 1,486 and some 250 camp followers (wives, children, laundresses and prostitutes). Going was slow and discipline problems were severe; St. Clair, suffering from gout, had difficulty maintaining order, especially among the militia and the new levies. The force was constantly shadowed by Indians and skirmishes occasionally erupted.

PRINCESS CAMPAIGN IS GO!!!

The DM mostly handles it, but i'm thinking of letting another player play the Muse, but that might get confusing.

Here's a question, what have you used Delta forks for, what are they even useful for?

>>43434313
Answering machines.

>>43433444
DM handles it

Put "Eclipse Phase General" in the subject field next time

Good trips

Since we're waiting for guy with Koboldanon's pics, I'll search through my unsorted files for stuff in the meantime.

>>43473899
Wait, he wants you to DM?

Flip him off. Asking you to run a game in a system you know nothing about is entirely unreasonable.

>everyone thinks it's shit.
That's a huge generalization there, anon.

>>43473899
First, do you want to actually DM? Have you been a player before? Has HE played before?

Experience is useful but not 100% necessary in GMing.

Nah. Dorn was a stubborn ass. Perturabo was jealous and butthurt. Lorgar was a faithfag who'd worship a turnip if it was the only other thing left in the universe.

It's always the case of people investigating what we're doing and asking questions about it.

I turn people away from 40k. DnD too. I'm well respected in my gaming circles so people listen to what I say. If I say something is shit, people believe me.
