>I hate to be "that guy"...

Too late.

If only there was a thread devoted solely to sharing pdfs. We could call it the "PDF Sharing Thread." If only some kind Anon would save and list the links to all the shared pdfs too. It would be an archive of sorts. We could even call it something mildly silly like "Da Archive".

If only those two things happened, then people could go to the sharing thread and make their request. Who knows, the link they needed might already be in Da Archive?

Such a thread and archive might even already exist, but you wouldn't know that because you're TOO FUCKING RETARDED TO EVEN LOOK.

GM is the host. There's a central issue at stake for the players to argue about (whose child it is, etc.) Audience reacts when players score a point.

Winner is the one with the most points at the end. (You are not the father, it's your mother's fault you did crack not yours, etc.) Loser gets escorted out by security.

I like it. Sort of a competetive game, though players can temporarily team up to negate anothers advantage or boost their own point gain. They can also act out to increase audience hype and boost their own points, but if they hit a certain threshold they pop-off and security restrains them

>>54009800
A version of Everyone is John where all players control the Host. The GM presents the guests, problem, conflict, etc. The Host has to "solve" the problem or bring the guests to some sort of resolution.

Not only would it be fun for the players, being thrust into strange and bizarre situations, but also fun for the GM as he comes up with more and more ridiculous scenarios.

>>54009796
No, but I actually like my players.

Their PCs are basically in stasis when they miss. I balance this out by only rewarding experience to those that show up.

>What the fuck do I do /tg/?
Kill them all, OP.

Roll with it mate it's a first time GM and you did miss two sessions in a row.

Are you saying that an element of 40k's lore doesn't make sense under scrutiny?

Say it ain't so!

What the other two said. I love the universe but trying to say something doesn't make sense is a maddening task to undertake.

>>54008242
Bump

Isn't this like Kaine where it's essentially "YOU LOSE" as soon as he gets double god hands?

>>54008033
Yes, there are mecha rpgs

Are there DECENT mecha rpgs? No.

>>54008033
Enjoyed Chris Perin's Mecha. Its a lot more rules light, focuses on pilot integration with mechs and does a fun bit on being more like an anime with episodes and scenes. Its dice pools, which I tend not to like but its not too obnoxious here. Configurations/customization requires you to fluff out the abstractions and I can see it getting stale after a few campaigns. The combat map abstraction feels a bit small to our group so we made it a bit bigger and made it more terrain specific.

I personally enjoy battletech, but its not a thing I want to make my friends do with me and the community itself is a dumpster fire.

I'm still looking for my goldilocks mecha RPG. All of them tend to either be super crunchy granular rulesfests, or rules light to the point there might as well not be a system to begin with, and the few mid range systems I have found are just kinda meh.

I just want a moderately crunchy, thematically focused mecha RPG with solid rules for both in universe tech and weapons, and more narrative qualities to reflect and empower genre conventions.

I've heard some decent things about Battle Century G, although the predecessor game was very unimpressive IMO, but I've never found a PDF to have a look over.

They are compatible with both, but a smattering are for one game or the other.

They are as easy or as hard as you want. Basing green, splash of colours and a dip/wash works because they're just so grody it works.
Going above and beyond with differing colour and texture techniques can make them very intricate and complex, however.

Hell yeah Anima Beyond Fantasy. I fucking love this game but it's so goddamn difficult to get a game going. My group have an annual tradition where we play the starting level 1 adventure that came with the GM screen every year, but we add five to the level of the PCs and everything in the adventure. This year we were level 11 and fought against, for example, five ancient dragons at the same time, four lords of the dead and a robot from Solomon and the final boss was literally the Lord of Infinity.

My character had Speed 20 and Strength 20 and was therefore both infinitely strong and infinitely fast. After cross referencing on the Size & Weight table I came out to 9 feet tall and 1000 pounds, so naturally I played Platinum Crunk Requiem the ancient aztec god of fitness.

This game is so fucking retarded but so good.

Weed?

>>54006790
there's no difference

Lots of ancient ruins and unexplored lands. Think Grandia.
