Red markets is okay, I guess. I've never played it myself, but I've listened to the campaigns on R.P.P.R. and The Drunk & The Ugly.

I'm also interested in 'All Flesh Must Be Eaten', does anyone know any good podcasts of it?

Just got my hands on Z-Land after watching their videos, so now just to get my group on board to play it.

My favorite zombie game is GURPS. I even wrote a zombie rules expansion for GURPS Lite.

>>54358842

I'd probably add some water.

Hey /tg/ ive only really played D&D 3.5e and im looking to branch out.

What is a good system for me if I would like to GM an early 2000s, inner-city, punisher-esque, mob vs gang vs cartel vs police style game?

An all-human setting, where firearms are very prevalent. No magic, no hacking, no steampunk, all that jazz.

Bonus points for trait based, as I wanted to try one of those, rather than a class based system.

Pic mildly related. I think tupac looks funny in a suit.

It ranges from fantastic to kindergartner with Downs shitting on a page. I like to call it the Betrayer-MoM Scale.

This is the old map and characters by the way. I haven't found a digitized version of the rules.

One of the upper planes obviously. Probably Elysium, just being there makes you feel so content it becomes physically hard to leave.

shit/10
Get you own fucking Abyssal lair that allows you to cast all fucking aligned spells and literally earn the power of moral ambiguity and then steal the wand of Orcus and Gain the Demon Lord Template from it.

Fucking D&D lore.

>>54357469

Always been a fan of Bytopia myself, it's generally going to be a good place to live but it's not 100% worship of the dieties all the fucking time like Mt. Celestia, and there are still challenges and difficulties to overcome so it's not going to get boring over the extremely long time you're there.

Well- potentially long time. As a petitioner you're probably going to eventually become part of whatever plane you end up in, and if you just want to be done with it all then there are plenty of places where that's easy to do.

How did that motherfucker make a box spontaneously appear under him when he jumped?

Buggy Ubisoft coding.

This is the answer for everything isn't it.

>>54357242
Are these worth reading?

1. Don't betray the party.
2. Don't get too hasty if you're with the party.

Otherwise, go wild. The reason Chaotic Neutral types are so reviled are the above and lolsorandom behavior. If you're friend to the party and don't go full murderhobo in front of everyone, it'll all probably work out.

>>54357120

Feel free to test the limits of other PCs a little but don't try to batter your way through if you encounter clear resistance. Try to reach comprimises when you can. You can often express your character's personality just by voicing dissent with an idea but then agreeing to go along with it anyway.

If players are obviously not happy - and pay attention here autists, people will often say "it's fine" even when they don't mean it so you'll have to learn to read their expressions, tone of voice and body language - then back off from whatever you're doing to annoy them. You might even do some token favour in-game for them to show you're not an asshole.

The above isn't 100% absolute - you might end up in a group where there's one super touchy snowflake or a Lawful Stupid type. If someone is getting annoyed with you and you don't think they have any reasonable grounds, you'll just have to talk it out OOC.

If your going to fuck shit up make sure the blowback is directed at you and not the party. Don't shit on their negotiations, don't stab the king.
But if you're tough 'tanky' type being a dick to NPCs is a great way to be a distraction for the party. Committing minor crimes while the rest of the party isn't around could also be useful too. Random murder and shit is probably too much but stealing rations before a journey, threatening or blackmailing people of minor importance for favours should be fine is long as you're not seen by the party good guys.

If you're going to raz the party don't bring it to the point of "I roll intimidation to make you do what I want" but a little quip like volunteering another party member to go first into the dungeon or mentioning that you deserve a bigger portion of treasure when you're inconvenienced should be fine as long as you don't push the matter. When the party member says no you sigh and mention something about more glory for you, when they say you get the same portion as everyone else you puff and mention something about unions. But at the end of the day you work with the party.

>Remember the difference between a Scamp and a Bully.
>The Scamp pokes but never forces, the Bully always tries to get his way.
>The Scamp reacts, the Bully initiates.
>Bugs Bunny never throws the first punch
The Scamp is usually fun, the Bully is usually grating. The Bully can be fun but only if played right. He needs to have some very obvious weaknesses, limits or personal rules and some means to turn him off. Bullies should always be somewhat weak, scamps should appear weak.
If the Bully is too strong he's just an antagonist. If the scamp appears too strong he losses his need for subtly and the character stops making sense.

tl;dr
>Don't try to be the party leader
>Keep your evil away from the party and use it to benefit the party

Avoid the HH series at all costs.

Titanicus is a pretty good starting point, mood wise, also has the best author for War-Porn if that's what you're into

Read Ciaphas Cain HERO OF THE IMPERIUM
at any point you feel it getting too grimderp.

Luck superstition always starts funny but can often become annoying, I have a reputation as a "luck vampire" because I have been observed to lucky in multi-player games and that people near me have bad luck. This probably has more to do with me keeping a positive outlook but it's not obnoxious yet.

>>54356855
When you don't bitch and rage and "woooooow" about every bad roll, it feels like you have the best luck in the group.

No, it's more magitech.

ffs jes get it together

I don't even know what steampunk means anymore

In my head it's like victorian era British people with pre/early electronic era tech that is ahistorically advanced and BRASS AND TUBES N SHIT

>>54355892
But I do. Or, well, I will.

Because revolvers are old-world wonders, and ever since the banishment of Zargothrax and the shattering of Fife, the magic of the old times is lost.

>>54355892
Because I don't allow crossbows. The local autist choir won't fucking shut up about "PUNCH THROUGH PLATE MALE ARMOR" and "EFFORTLESS TO TRAIN" and "KILL A KNIGHT AT FIVE HUNDRED PACES EVERY TIME".

And because I don't allow revolvers for the same reason.

>>54355940
You're running a Gloryhammer campaign?? I should listen to them, I actually *live*
in Fife
