Classic, d20, gurps, or savage worlds?

>>54267529
classic preferably

Did you even attempt to check the archive?

It's really boring to watch other people roleplay.

Just roleplay yourself.

>>54267346
This has nice character cutouts though.

Sort of related to the topic, would you be willing to compose an actual song for the characters of your group? One of the PCs is a bard and the person that plays him makes music based off of other notable characters in the game.

Good for joke campaigns, bad for serious ones.

Only bards should be allowed to do this and only in a tasteful manner.

Depends how fourth wall breaking. Acknowledging skill applications isnt so bad as knowing that the world is a tabletop game and that the one true god is the gm and that god is a dick. Joke campaigns are fine for it though, while serious games with a bit of humour would require a more restrictions and self control.

You should probably ask in the PF general thread; folks 'round these parts don't take kindly to PFags.

maybe, but only because you didnt show your damn work

Kingdoms, mostly consisting of a palace and the close environment. The centers of the kingdoms are Palace fortresses, which are also often the center of big cities. More powerful kings have weaker kings of cities as vassals.

Aristocrats serve as cavalry, the lower classes as hoplites and skirmishers

Go to yoyhammer. Do your homework.

You won't get handouts from us or them

I camped out on eBay for six months and have almost everything I'd ever want for a Sisters/Inquisition force. I've even gone as far as converting the Seraphim and St. Celestine with big metal angel wings, Sanctioned Psykers, an Inquisitor, 10 Flagellants converted into Priests ( which I can't use because they invalidated my mad plan to make a stupid deathstar squad in a Land Raider ) but I'm still so salty about GW shitting in our mouths with that eCodex a few years back that I haven't done any more work on the army.

Why do you need a fully fleshed-out character?

>>54264894

Err, you do exactly the same thing but get far more of an opportunity to develop that because you'll play them over a long period whereas most NPC's are only in a few scenes.

Though I know as a GM I go the full hog when I create a character because compared to writing an entire meticulously crafted sandbox adventure it's easy mode.

Usually when I make a character I write a 750 word bio , 3000 words of basic backstory and a further 10k words of a short story involving my character. I also bring props for my character, speak exclusively in character , describe all my actions beautifully and roleplay perfectly to the point other players have started to think my character is a real person at the table.

Wouldn't know where to start with DnD, Hunter x Hunter characters are just too versatile/broad to stick him into one class. You'd be better off in M&M

>OotS actually has regular updates

What the fuck.

So, our heroes are going to have to phrase their dire warnings to the dwarven clan leaders in the form of riddles?

I think this is actually going to be pretty hilarious, but that's just me.

I know it's beating a dead horse by this point, but seriously. Half the page is just speech bubbles. This is supposed to be a visual medium!

The reason you never see this is because if you're playing DnD or one of it's derivatives, curing the cold instantly is as easy as a level 2 Paladin's Lay on Hands or a level 1 spell slot for Cure Disease from the party caster.

>>54263817
I don't see how this would add AT ALL to a fun experience.

>>54263884
Well it helps to create a more grounded one. Say the players are caught in a rainstorm what incentive do they have to seek shelter? One would be that they might get sick from it.

It also helps naturally create some downtime as a character recovers which is always welcome.

Ain't know shit about Pokemon. Trying to work out how a Digimon one would work out.

>>54263207
Depends on whether you want to focus on gamism, simulationism, or narrativism.

>>54263183
What would you say the main differences are between the two? What don't you like about PTU/A that you like about Pokerole?

Never tried either, but I'm interested to hear your opinions.

I'm really not a fan of rogue stars. I am normally a lover of anything by Andrea sfiligoi, but I think he dropped the ball on these rules.

Sure they are designed around very small bands of like 4-6 models in mind, but it's just way too granular to be a smooth skirmish game. There is so much token tracking it's distracting.

I really wanted a sci-fi skirmish game of "bring your own minis and stat them how you want" but rogue stars seems like it's trying too hard. Luckily though he is working on another game called Harder than Steel, and it's meant to use the Song of Blades and Heroes game engine (which is one of my all time favorite games) so I am looking forward to that, but it's still under development.

It's just hard to get someone to reliably play with you. What little of the coop that i've played is quite fun

Personally, i've played orks/vamps and had a good time but beastmen/chaos seems like it'd be really fun on higher difficulties
