Whats BTG's thoughts on A Time of War?

Been looking at running a session on Saturdays UTC-0 any interest from BTG?

Broadly, it's felt to be more mechanically consistent than MW3, ironing out some of that edition's bad spots, but is just overall very very crunchy and also quite lethal, which means you have to be of a very specific type of (inclreasingly rare) roleplayer to enjoy it. Character creation can be particularity time consuming, unless you use the variant method (which works fine, to be fair).

>1) WAAC. Win At All Costs
To be honest all games have those guys and they will bend the rules if it gives them an edge, especially against new players and are eternally butthurt when called on their BS.

>2) You cant do that its not cannon
That one I agree, BT has major issue with players like that, even seen that kinda behaviour on the thread aswell, especially if Periphrery and better mechs are mentioned in same time. Personally I don't mind telling small stories in as Era as long as the major events stay sameish ie winner stays the same, it's Inner Sphere is after all a big place where all sorts of things can happen.

If you're going to drop any of the pastebins because "they link to eachother", the one named IMPORTANT LINKS is probably the best to keep.
Especially considering the Trove is the most used part of our thread.

Does anyone run games with the OSR philosophy in non-OSR systems?

You mean you don't like playing against army wide rerolls on everytning and 4 free command points?

I've never played Warhammer but that sounds fucking awful.

My setting has neither wheels nor rideable animals.

I suppose he can ride a canoe?

>What are some non-combat career fields that adventurers can enter relatively easy.?

>Casters can become great construction workers or farmers.
>Rogues can become locksmiths

But yeah most PC classes would end up as teachers.

>>Casters can become great construction workers or farmers.
I'm sorry? Why would a wizard ever debase themselves to doing technically manual labor for someone else? They'd become apothecaries, seers, and cunning men long before they stoop to using their mastery over time and space to stack bricks for John Jackoff's new wall.

I didn't bust my ass saving the kingdom so I could work for a living. If I get out of this alive it's not without at least a barony or maybe a sinecure at wizard college.

TRAVELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER

I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME

Isekai?

I ran one for 12~ sessions, 3 of which were setup in the real world.

For a while it was less "Is it okay to hit on girls in a dungeon? Ch 3 Vol 2 Part 3", and more Digimon Adventure. Fuck those "JRPG elements exist and are real! the goddess wants us to fight the monster lord!", hack writing is shit, instead this was just about getting back home.

Upon isekai they got stranded in a tundra/Alaska that was razed by the main villain, so most of that first act was spent hyping up their first town visit. It went off the rails when they crossed an ocean by biplane and started questing around for money and cool shit. Anyway the baseballer turned into a ninja, the dinosaur-geek turned into a barbarian and the skateroller girl turned into a MILF after drinking a steroid-filled potion of experience.

>>54446884
By throwing away everything that makes it stereotypically isekai. The players aren't special, aren't impressive, the world isn't a fucking jrpg, and life in this magical new world honestly kind of sucks.

>>54495653
It's a lot like a knife fight, in that it is in fact a knife fight.

>>54495721
A sexy knife fight.

Sexy and dangerous.

It's pronounced "Forkplay"

Also I'd replace spaceships with time/space warping fairy castles. They are more metal.

Could work as a sort of Fallout meets Ragnarok.

The world goes in cycles of life and death. All are bound to it, humans and gods. This cycle at least one group of humans got technologically advanced enough to at least attempt to survive it by making valt-Tec style shelters.

Fimbulwinter is well and truly established now. On the surface every thing that can't survive in ice is long since dead. On land that's just some red algae and some very slow worms. There might be something still going on in the sea under the ice but the coast is a long way away from the shelter and the ice is very thick.

It's been a few thousand years and the Shelter is breaking down. Fimbulwinter is still in full strength.

This particular problem is the generator and spare parts have long since run out. Searching through the historical records you think there might be an answer. 30 miles away in ancient days there was a city. More importantly there was a necropolis for the nobility and a power station.

The power station might have the parts you need, maybe preserved by the constant -30°C daytime temperatures.

Alternatively it is on record that Thor was buried in the Necropolis. Presumably with his hammer. His infinite lightning hammer. You might be able to rig something up to harness that with what you have left if you can rob his grave.

The snow is not uninhabited. Strange and terrible things now dwell on the ice at the end of the world.

I think you may have just described the Shadowrun world from the perspective of it being the future of Earthdawn... plus you made elves aliens, but that's basically the only major change.

>>54493605

What would a jumpchain livestream ever be like?

>>54493418
From what I remember of the Youtube Jump builds out there. Fun.

>>54493418
it'd be like watching a dude filling out paperwork.

>>54492692
forgot to mention, playing very casual vintage, with basically nothing off limits but a gentlemen's agreement to not use shit like black lotus, channel, take an extra turn etc.

>>54492714
Why not just do Legacy as opposed to an arbitrary ban list?

>>54492792
im playing with 1 friend at the moment, using cockatrice. we basically only "ban" something if we see it and both go "oh wow no thats bullshit"

If he's so eager to quit, just give him the boot already.

Do it. Guy sounds like a shit time bomb. Kill the phones and let the guy blow up somewhere else.

I tend to DM with no phones. I do have breaks so we can all get our tech fix then dive back into the game.

>>54492010
No. Never.

Have a short break every hour or at convenient points in the game. Anyone who can't go one hour without staring slack-jawed at instagram or Twitter should just fuck off.
