Use a 24 hour clock.

>>53758622
Add incline and decline to your calculations, and measure from a ship's position.

e.g.
9 o'clock, incline 45 degrees
4 o'clock, decline 15 degrees

You need a Z axis, since it's being plotted in three dimensions instead of just two (or close enough to two.) Best way I've found it using a bearing from 1 to 360 degrees, then a second bearing from 180 "down angle" to 180 "up angle," effectively -180 to 180, to determine Z.

A contact might be bearing 90, 45 degrees down angle. That means the ship is directly off your starboard side, down 45 degrees from your current plane. A third number can be introduced to show distance from the target.

>Everyone who plays a barbarian has far less than average intelligence..

Why tho?

>>53757878
Kinda redundant, in most systems they'd have been better off just being a type of Fighter than their own class. Yeah, they usually get some kind of "survivalist" flavor, but THAT is usually done better by whatever the Ranger-type class is.

Just swap out a feature from Fighter or Ranger for your typical Barbarian Rage feature and save yourself the effort of making it an entirely separate class.

>>53757878

In D&D the Rage feature should be a feat that becomes a class ability for others to use and opens other options for them I hate the fact they are shoe horned into being loincloth wearing dummies who have a tenuous connection to nature through their rage

>>53748868

What are dwarves?

They must be underground.

>>53748868
I like dwarves. I feel like they escaped the fantasy pitfall of "just humans but better".

That's why elves are shit.

>>53748868
They are, but in their own element.

Just as a follow up, the Quickstart book 'Need to Know' is available at RPGNOW, it's pay what you want, so basically free if you don't feel like paying anything for it.

cheers m8

>>53744874
Why does Delta Green use a d100 when everything is in increments of 5% and 10%? They should just use a d20 if they aren't going to utilize the d100's granularity.

I'm not sure 'allow' is the right word.

The happy endings are always there, waiting for them. They just have to keep fighting, keep struggling, keep going with the hope that they'll reach them.

Sometimes they succeed. Sometimes they partially succeed, having to compromise or accept some bittersweet element to their victory. But whether they achieve it isn't something I decide or 'allow'. It's all about their choices, and their story. The journey matters more than the destination.

His son is clearly going to go rogue, I don't think that's a good ending.

Pick one, anon.

First for how the fuck do I play Tau now?

>>53764910
Combined arms, with kroot skirmishers, stealth suits and pathfinders, fire warrior gunlines, hammerheads and an occasional heavier suit

>>53764910
Lots of fire warriors, a couple broadsides, gun drones, crisis suit commanders, one or two units of pathfinders, sniper drone teams, you have lots of good options.

I like how each world will get as many sets as it deserves now. Makes it way easier to justify returning to old weird planes like Kamigawa if we're only there for three months. Still now sure what this means for standard, now what every environment will be fucking huge.

We'll see how well this goes down.

Less sets with Masterpieces, that's good.

Less Gatewatch in the story, that's great (especially as a Vorthos).

More people on designing the competitive environment could be good.

How good is this guy now? And how good are knights now?

>>53761829
Knights are gay. They are about as good as a big gay unit.

Let's have a nice, clean, meme free thread

>>53761176
Just kick them. If they don't value the game enough to be on time, why keep them around?

Its kinda petty, but if its an ongoing problem, that has been explained to them and its not changing, go for it.
the obnoxious part for me is when someone is late, we shoot the shit, catch up on life, etc, until they get there. Well once they get there, we've been ready to go for 45 fukkin minutes Danni, I dont want to have to restart all the pleasantries for you. Lets start gaming, dammit.

>>53761176
We meet at 6.30 , meant to start at 7 ,my cut off points 7.30 and that's when we start. You don't have to punish ingame , although I do also reward bonus xp for players who turn up.

Can you use a smartphone? If so, there are tons of dice-rolling apps that should allow you to easily make all kinds of rolls without letting your players see the results.

About games/sytems, it really depends on your players' theme preferences. If you're looking for simple rules, I'd recommend Storyteller (Vampire, Mage, Werewolf) or freaking Apocalypse World for the lulz (http://apocalypse-world.com/ApocalypseWorldBasicRefbook2ndEd.pdf).

>I'm looking into a RPG system that ideally has all rolls done by the players so I don't need to keep a screen to hide GM rolls

Dungeon World of Apocalypse World will be your friend then. Read the rules carefully as they not only tell you how to play the game but give a clear, structured guide on how to run the game as a GM which is vital to follow if you want it to work.

>in D&D terms
I'm D&D terms, you have objective Good and Evil, so it's fine. In literally any other setting though, it's pretty fucking evil by most measures as you're simply removing what YOU consider evil i.e. any element you find objectionable. It shouldn't be too hard to think of ways this ends poorly.

Forcing someone to behave a certain way isn't being true to that alignment. Making someone act good doesn't make them good, any more than mind controlling a good person to perform evil deeds doesn't make them a bad person.

If you could allow someone to objectively examine themselves, and if they decided they wanted to become a better person, that's good.

Lobotomizing someone, even in the name of good, is evil.

>>53761103
If some Lawful Evil dictator lobotomizes good people to make them obey the dictator's orders, is that Lawful, Neutral, or Chaotic?

No, a normal human.

I played in a game where one PC got thrown by a blast wave from a near hit after which he just stood up and another tanked an orbital strike.
