Unknown Armies 3rd edition. I also like to run sessions with a heavy emphasis on roleplaying and mystery/investigation and little to no intended combat.

"Unknown Armies is an occult game about broken people conspiring to fix the world. It’s about humanity, and how those among us who are the most obsessed have the power to alter reality until it aligns with their fevered desires. It’s about getting what you want despite others trying to keep it from you.

Unknown Armies presents magic as it might exist in a world co-created by Tim Powers and James Ellroy, as twisting wrinkles in reality created by greater and greater risk, sacrifice, and obsession. In Unknown Armies we ask, what would you risk to change the world? Your friends? Your family? Your health? Your sanity? Magic finds a way to ask the very most from you, until you achieve what you want or you are left with nothing."

>Setting
Detroit, Michigan (set in the world of Unknown Armies)

>Contact

>Additional Notes
I'm running a game with the assumption that players have potentially never played, or heard of, Unknown Armies before so if any of this sounds interesting feel free to join because I'm going to be going over the rules and setting with everyone anyways. Unknown Armies tends to play a bit like Call of Cthulhu if you were to replace "the old ones" with "the human condition", and add in the ability to use magic.

>>50936743

All the rumors are true.

I mean. I think that the fact that he has SEVENTEEN PEOPLE in his game at this point speaks mountains.

And you've seen him badmouth all his former players who got fed up with him.

>>50940504
no, half of them can't even get into the game and understand how to make characters because he just expects people to read the book and do it all themselves

He says he doesn't care and to just get on the roll20 and he'll "give us a sheet"
He doesn't tell you anything about what kind of character you can make, he just says "you can make anything"
but the way he says it is super passive-aggressive and a obvious trap

He does boast about running games for "10-12 players" like its nothing and mocks people for being reasonable all the time

What Traveller?

>>50941672
Mongoose Traveller 2ed

Bump for anything but vanilla D&D games

>>50941631

Is this the Traveller game with lesbians.

>>50941508
Not that guy but I also filter out what players I let in or not by their ability to create a rules-accurate character following literally the simple step by step instructions in the book and resources provided. I provide links to resources, list allowed books and other creation rules and all of that and then I expect a potential player to have enough of a grasp on the administrative end of their personal things to make a character that is completely rules accurate and rules legal, barring things that were in some way unclear that I'll gladly go over with them.

At least that's the case for people that say they know how to play and all that.

If you're legitimately a new player I'll help you out more, but I still kinda expect you to be able to do some simple stuff like look up your shit in tables when all you have to do is stuff like like looking at your level and then looking at what the entry in the table for that level is after I've shown you where to find the table and what all of it means.

Player looking for vanilla dnd.

All you faggots might complain it's stale but it's because of that same mentality that I have never played a vanilla campaign. It's as novel to me as whatever shit you like is to you.

>>50943942
What edition?

>>50943957
I'd say I'm most comfortable with 3/PF or 5. I've also got a newbie friend. He's read the 5 core books so that's another reason I'd like to go vanilla

>>50943988
How vanilla does vanilla have to be? Can you give examples of what wouldn't be vanilla anymore or something or what markers you're looking for in vanilla?

Have you played actual 3.5 or just PF?

>>50944064
I played 3.5 for a while. For me it stops being vanilla as soon as it stops being the generic medieval setting with knights and wizards. Since I started looking for games on tg it always been low fantasy, super high fantasy, or some other weird variant we're knowledge in the core books became useless

>>50943641
Yes

Also, the EST game is 9PM and not AM

>>50944082
So it's mostly the setting you care about rather than the gameplay?

Or do you want to be the typical adventuring party roving the land to uncover and stop an ancient stirring evil aswell?

So far I get the feeling that source/setting-wise you're the kind of guy that PHB2 was made for, basically going deeper into and expanding the core theme and giving you more to play with within that, adding stuff like Knight and all.

>>50943942
Play something other than DnD, it's fucking garbage. There's a REASON every game of it has some hook or gimmick - because the actual base game is BAD.

>>50943942
Oh, there's nothing wrong with vanilla. It's not my favorite, but I can enjoy it. You've just got to deal with the fact that if you want something, you run it. Complaining about us faggots is not going to make you marketable.

>>50944927
All my negative experiences relate to people, or at most how they view or interact with a system, though I feel like they'd be much the same regardless of system involved since it really does just come back to the person.

I mean I guess there's negative stuff like Eclipse Phase's shit editing/playability issues, but that's at least things you can work out or work around.

So he expects people to read the book

He doesn't tell you what to make for a character

But he totally says it in a passive aggressive way

>mocks people for being reasonable all the time

?
Sounds like you just had some conflict with him and don't want to fairly represent what happened. This is full of red flags

>>50945636

Not that guy, but I'm the more frequent complainer:

He gives enough advice on how to create a character, but he seems to allow ANY concept. No reservations given. He kind of doesn't give any guidance for building, though. I remember having to walk two other players through WoD character creation.

The biggest problem with this GM is that he is a douche who will always talk down to you or wisecrack whenever you ask for help. I left his game because he flaked on me on the intro solo minisession, didn't give an excuse, rejected the two times to make it up I proposed, and made douchey wisecracks when I suggested he offer a makeup time instead, since my schedule was fairly free at the time.

Disrespect to players, especially when you've just wasted their time, is inexcusable.

The funniest thing is that he doesn't remember who I am: He pointed his finger at every single OTHER player who left that particular game, but not me.

>>50941631
Warning/Reminder that this is an ERP game.

>>50946175
>I remember having to walk two other players through WoD character creation.
It sounds like those two people are apparently too bad at parsing and processing information from the books already in existance to explain character creation to them to handle their side of character upkeep without constantly being a drain the GM or the groups time now or in the future.

Like seriously, if you aren't at a reading level sufficient enough to indepentently utilize the systems resources and work with them you're just gonna bog down the game every time it comes down to your character doing something crunchy.

>>50948124

You're still a rude motherfucker who's just wasting people's time if you don't outright tell people that they're too inexperienced to play.

>>50948155
First of all I'm not the guy you're complaining about, second of all this is unrelated to experience. This is using instructions provided to you to accomplish something. You're not expected to already know it or do it by heart, you're expected to understand the instructions before you (which are written explicitly with new players as the target audience) and put them into action. And doing so independently is basically required for you to have put together your character and understand how they work, what they do and how to do it. Handholding them through that only leads to incomplete understanding and confusion later and making unrelated excuses like deflecting something that has to do with intelligence and effort to learn and understand onto inexperience doesn't help anyone because quite frankly if they're not willing to put in the effort to learn how to play the system by themselves they're shit players.

>>50944965
The degree to which you have to "work around" Eclipse Phase's issues basically requires you to rewrite half the game on the fly.

>>50948189
>First of all I'm not the guy you're complaining about

>things that are not true

>>50948509
The aim of teaching someone is for them to be able to do it independently, WITHOUT you around.

When you teach someone to play poker, you have to get to a point where they don't have to show you their hand to ask what they have.

When you teach someone how to drive you need to get to a point where you can let them drive independently without you in the car without getting themselves killed.

Instructions for new players are already supplied. You're providing instructions for the instructions.

When you first got the books, did the publisher send a person to you to help hold your hand as you read them, worked through them and learned how to play the system from the complete instructions on how to do just that within?

>he didn't even deny it

>>50948586
Dude, you're an asshole. Players, especially new ones, might prefer having someone show them the right path to creating their characters. Just because the instructions are right there, doesn't mean it's the best or easiest way, and this way you get to converse with the players, learn more about them, what they want to play, etc.
And then the players get to learn more about the game, what person you are, as well as the limits you'll allow when it comes to creating, as well as rules they're not sure about, what the other players are going to choose, etc.

Don't be an asshole to the people who are looking into tabletop games- you're _that_ guy, scaring the new players away from the hobby because you're too much of a dick to be nice enough to introduce people into something that they can love. But no, Instead you push people away, you scare others, and you repulse even those who are into these games. It doesn't take a genius to realize why you have to look into a gamefinder to find people to play with you.

>>50948667
Still not the guy you're bitching about by the way.

>Players, especially new ones, might prefer having someone show them the right path to creating their characters
>And then the players get to learn more about the game, what person you are, as well as the limits you'll allow when it comes to creating, as well as rules they're not sure about, what the other players are going to choose, etc.
I talk with them about all of those things and I provide all the related instructions to character creation aswell as any modified or alt rules and explain them thoroughly. I also link resources like dierollers or simplified creation instructions/walkthroughs.

I just don't do the work and the thinking for them. Because at some point they need to get in the drivers seat, and I loathe it when people have absolutely zero expectations of other people and just never let them even attempt things on their own so they can properly get a grasp on it, because that way they'll never figure out how it works and if its for them. I've always had far more issues with people that never really got a handle on how things worked because they were constantly shunted through it by others "helping" them through everything without the player ever really being exposed to and fathoming the workings of it.

You're not doing anyone a favor by minimizing their contact with the actual nitty-gritty of the system, and NOT every system is for everyone.

I believe everyone can play something like Cthulhu Dark for example, but there's always going to be some amount of entry barrier to more crunchy systems and I'm willing to let people looking into tabletops actually come into contact with the things required to play them and see if its for them or not, but I'm also going to tell them that maybe it ISN'T for them if they can't handle it.

>>50948818
Guy who originally brought up the editing/playability issues here.

I've both GMd and played it and I have to say they're definitely not the MOST playable, and they certainly require that you're okay with a lot of "rude" things the system kinda does, like extreme lethality or zero attachment to the morph you've built in creation due to how travel works, but I've also never ever had any desire to switch to the version that supplants FATEs mechanics over EP and just uses its settings, cause I still feel like there's a lot of neat things and merit in what it has.

But I really, really loathe the editing on the books.

>>50948760
And perhaps you should be willing to help people who don't have an idea of what to do, especially their first time creating characters. The next time, let them handle more, and then, the next time, let them do it themselves, etc.
Did you swim or ride a bike the first time by yourself? Did your parents, when you were a child, throw you into the kitchen and say, "Now make dinner"? How about school? In first grade, did your teacher expect you to already know multiplication? Serious, bro. You're scaring away people by your overly high expectations.
I'd say have fun playing with yourself, but then again, it's likely always been you with yourself.

>>50948908
There are instructions for new players in the books, written exclusively for them.

I don't know what more I can point out. The instructions are already there. They're not going fucking uninstructed dude. It's all there. But it's there in the same form that they will have to sift through and acquire literally every other further piece of information they're going to learn about the system as they expand into it and its other books, that's why it's important for them to be able to parse and understand it in that form.

No one can, or should, have to literally break down and explain every possible source and book to people, they need to be able to work with the books independently, otherwise you've failed to teach them.

And believe me, I do take every step to get them to that point, but I DO NOT TOUCH THEIR CHARACTER SHEET. They need to do every logical operation and every bit of information gathering to fill it themselves.

I feel like you're still just projecting a lot of unsaid shit you know or feel about that other guy over everything I've said, but let me tell you I'm not even here advertising a game, 'cause I'm not running one right now. I was popping in to see what systems were advertising for players and I spoke up because I consistently run, both as GM and player, into people in groups that are just STRUGGLING in the most awful way through their turns or their admin or whatever in the way that makes it like pulling teeth because they're constantly pushed along through things with minimal explanation because other people solve their problems instead of letting them work them out and their frustration continues to build alongside the frustration the group receives from it.

Honestly I feel like sometimes people dislike me because I'm not obsessively over-inclusive and am actually willing to let people fail and maybe re-think if they'd prefer a different system or the like.

I'm pretty new to Pathfinder and I have never played D&D. But I know the basic rules on both systems.

>>50949022
I'm sorry if that's the way playing these games has made you- it says a lot about the people with whom you've chosen to play with. Remember, it's supposed to be fun, it's a game, not a chore or a job. You should be willing to introduce your friends to new things and help them through- and in return, they should do the same for you.

Here's a quick example;
I wanted to run Rifts as a short 4 game mini-series. I made everyone's characters for them, pulling them aside one by one the week before the game actually started.
I honestly would say it was the best game I had ever ran, and after it was over, everyone wanted to play again. So, I gave everyone blanks, and grouped them into two's and three's, and walked them through.
"Okay, you want to play a fighter type? Here's some good ideas." "PPE? That stands for Potential Psychic Energy."
They made their characters, and when they were stumped, they asked for help, and I guided them on where to go next.
Then, that game was a success, and someone else wanted to run a game. At that point, everyone had a good grasp on the system, on character creation, rules, etc. They understood where to look for information, began to dive into the mass of supplements, and I wasn't even needed for a single bit, and now Rifts pops up every year or so because everyone was willing to sit down and learn, and wants to play again- it was a good experience, and they learned to love the system, and even the literal six hour character creation. If they ask me now to make their characters for them, I'll tell them to do their own shit, because I know that they know how to go about it, and are just being lazy. But if a new player comes along, I'll be willing to do it again; and if it's not their thing, that's fine, they can go back to D&D when it comes up in rotation in a few months.

>>50948847
Is it in Da Archive?

>>50949241
>"Okay, you want to play a fighter type? Here's some good ideas." "PPE? That stands for Potential Psychic Energy."
I explain those things, though.

I've got a fairly encyclopedic knowledge of splatbook stuff, so I usually let people tell me what they're looking for either in theme or archetype or whatever and I can list a bunch of things that all meet it in several ways, and then I point them to the book it's in. I might bring up niches filled or unfilled by other players or how their choices related to that or point out the drawbacks to something they might pick like having a hard time picking, and that's about as far as I go. I'll help you figure out what you want and where to find it, but I kinda expect you to be able to say, take the level we're starting at, look up the class you've picked, look at the progression table for them and pick out that at lvl 2 your Fort Save is +1 and then transfer that to your character sheet without any input from me. I just wanna come back and see a +1 there (barring any CON etc for this example), and the creation instructions are plentiful in telling you how that works, though if I make any alterations to how we work with that (like using fractional save progression for multiclassing or something) I'll have an explanation of that posted.

And its funny to me that you mention DnD as apparently being the system that everyone gets and doesn't need instruction, because that's primarily where I run into all of this. Other systems people usually are more willing to acknowledge that they need to hunker down and work it out because it isn't sold to them as the easy beginner one.

I have considered running a campaign with pre-gen characters or at the very least some parts pre-set, due to certain specificities of the campaign, and I can actually imagine that it will make things really rather quite smooth and has a lot of advantages (at least for what I picture) in terms of main plot integration of the characters (cont.)

>>50949338
Dude, it's DnD.
It's always DnD.

>>50949338
>>50949241
similar to the "created character" versus "pregen character" conundrum that videogames often face with their storytelling, but I feel like you also need to find people willing to basically have little to no freedom in character creation/customization. Though an all-new group (especially new to the system itself) is certainly more malleable that way.

I think ultimately you're mad at someone far less caring than I that merely shares some overlap with my more distanced expectations of someones ability to handle their admin while I'm mad at people far more patronizing than you that expect nothing at all from people and just gloss over and push them past their actual interaction with the system.

>>50949365
No, it's people. I've said it here
>>50944965

It all comes down to how people act/react toward systems, and as I've pointed out

>Other systems people usually are more willing to acknowledge that they need to hunker down and work it out because it isn't sold to them as the easy beginner one.

is my experience in this case, aswell.

I've played it once, never been able to find a group for it again. Shame, system's admittedly really simple but I absolutely love the concept.

>>50950192
It largely isn't. Mostly comes down to people being fine with that, though there are some mechanical issues with the whole Firewall structure they want and all the travel and the basically constant morph switching that travel would involve.

Largely I just wonder why the hell they let you so intricately design a morph (and spend a lot of your points on that) when basically any travel you'd have to do as part of Firewall would rid you of it almost immediately.

I don't really mind anything yet, just would like to play any kind of game.

>Additional Note

I'm still in my first roleplaying game honestly, that's on wednesdays with some friends online.

But its kinda falling apart with players and even the GM missing sometimes. I'd still like to stay with them until its clear that the game can't continue.

Only kind of experience I have is some basics of pathfinder on d20pfsrd, and roll20.

I might not be able to play for longer than about two or three months because somethings will come up by then that will interfere with my current schedule.

It's more insane than that.

How do I contact you?

Polling for interest now. More details to come.

Who's interested in trying to push D&D 5e's boundaries a bit, to see if it's still fun?

Would you be interested in playing a no-magic, all humans game featuring late 19th century weaponry in which you play inquisitorial agents sent to try and sort out a town out in the boonies that's cut off contact?

Setting is going to a sort of pastiche of Eastern Europe and North America, but will be limited to the one city.

>>50965048

No magic as in no magic for the PCs, or no magic in the world at all?

>intricately design a morph (and spend a lot of your points on that)
That's is your issue here. The game is about the horrible breaking of the mind. Body's are semi cheap. As firewall campaign's go you better forget about your morph most of the time. I view morphs as shells for the skill set I have and tech bolted on if allowed.

Now if you want a morph all decked out and plan to keep it around. You or you DM can do this with little issue. A gatecrashing mission or the *sweat's and looks around* God forbid you happen to be in the Junta.

But really in a multi session game that lacks character morph destruction is rather bland. I recall one fun situation of the GM using messages online between players, now granted we have a projector we use when we are all in the room for the main stuff. But slowly which attempting to break into a hospital to regain a fallen firewall member. OZMA look alikes were slowly picking us off which was done using the ninja notes. The OZMA got two players but no one knew except those two players which our horror was perfect. End of the story is the whole cell was wiped out. Player deaths were plentiful. One player had several deaths in maybe ten minutes as he and the dm slowly built a cheap morph farm after 4 year's in game 1 year real. the last stand was great.

>>50965087

As in actual late 19th century "Magic doesn't exist, you guys are superstitious idiots, quit believing this stupid indian shit, the inquisition is gonna sanction you assholes for heresy." doesn't exist.

>>50965118
>inquisition
>19th century
uhhhh

>>50965224

In this case, it refers to semi-secular political agents. It might be better for me to rename this into the Commissariat.

>>50965280
oh man, commies?

>>50965048
Define 'no magic'. Can I, for example, play a monk?

>>50965311

Character options I'd probably allow(Taking this from my notes):

Barbarian-
PHB Berserker
UA Ancestral Guardian
Middle Finger of Vecna Mountain Man
Middle Finger of Vecna Brawler

Fighter-
PHB Champion
PHB Battle Master
UA Samurai
UA Sharpshooter
Middle Finger of Vecna Pugilist

Monk-
PHB Open Hand
Middle Finger of Vecna Apache
Middle Finger of Vecna Drunken Fist
Middle Finger of Vecna Swordsage
Middle Finger of Vecna Zen Archer

Ranger(UA Spell-less version+Revised Ranger)-
PHB Hunter
PHB Beastmaster
Middle Finger of Vecna Bounty Hunter
Middle Finger of Vecna Master Thrower
Middle Finger of Vecna Gunslinger
Middle Finger of Vecna Versatilist
Middle Finger of Vecna Vigilante
Middle Finger of Vecna Scout

Rogue-
PHB Thief
PHB Assassin
UA Inquisitive
SCAG Swashbuckler
SCAG Mastermind
Middle Finger of Vecna Enforcer


I would probably also use variant healing and skills rules(probably the background-based skills or some sort of compromise, since fucking 5e tries so hard to pretend skills don't exist anyway)

>>50965342
So is it no "magic" or just no supernatural elements at all? For instance do demons and gods exist in any capacity? I don't see cleric so I assume there's no divine power. Youre saying that cultsists aren't actually summoning demons? Do other races besides human exist? A lot of them can't exist without magic. This is sounding a lot less like DnD and more like somethign entirely.

I think it would be more interesting if you tell the party there's no magic, tell to play as inquisitors and then bam, holy shit magic is real but only the super arcane difficult to acquire shit. I'd love to play this if youre offering run.

>>50965416

No magic as in humans only, magic is the realm of charlatans and the superstitious, and if you were to witness magic it would be a sensational discovery that most educated folk would scoff at.

There's people who study that shit, sure. But they're crackpots. And they aren't casting fireballs. And nobody can prove that a sweat lodge actually exorcises demons.

>>50965473
So its Dungeons and Dragons, but the Dungeons are just caves and the Dragons are nothing.

So its a game of Caves and nothing

>>50965482

I did say that I was trying to push the limits.

That being said, [Ancient underground cave systems of frightening complexity] and [Pagan Mythological Beasts] is still fundamentally a dungeon, and a dragon of some sort.

It's just that the world scoffs at the notion of such things being real.

>>50965543

If this doesn't turn into a Seacats game I will be hugely disappointed.

>>50965718

I have never played these seacats because I have been led to believe they are part of a long and convoluted series of VNs, and I am not a huge fan of VNs to begin with.

Do you recommend I partake?

I would generally recommended it, yes. The 8 Sound Novels generally stand on their own, but they are, in fact, very long and convoluted.

Have a detective in her school swimsuit.

>>50965699
Three questions, and I might just be in.

One, are we houseruling healing? Or should we just roll multiple backup characters

Two, how many levels in would you say we're likely to go, as player classes gain abilities which are magic-like (or magic-lite) which we'll have to deal with?

Three, why D&D5e and not, say, BRP/CoC? If you wanna play low magic pseudohistorical, why not use a ruleset that is built for something much closer to it?

>>50966043

Yes, we're houseruling healing. To be more difficult unless you have a medkit. In which case it will be easy. This will likely be going from levels 2-6.

I do believe that I've chosen class options(see above) that will only start showing shades of magic at level 6, except for two egregious examples(and if you choose those, we will have a talk).

And why D&D5e? Mostly because accessibility and combat math I'm familiar with.

Look, D&D 5e has a sane to-hit probability, and weapons rules that are deadly enough for a game that isn't expected to go over 6th level.

There's some strange stuff going on down in the old town of Silent Mountain. Used to be a nice mining town, but that business was done with ages past. Quarry got shut down. Yet now there are holes popping up all over town, and nobody seems to know who did it. Nobody who's gone down them to check it out has ever come back.

What's more... some people swear they've seen things popping up from these holes. Things way too big and scaly to be prairie dogs.

They call 'em 'mole men'.

The Government dispatched an elite agent of theirs to look into things... and quell anybody who would speak up about it. What's really going on around here?

You'll be playing as people caught up in this whole mess, whether a townie or just somebody who wandered in.

It's more that I find the systems, especially the creation sections, focus on morphs when they're basically disposed off anytime you travel a bit baffling and honestly kind of a new player trap with how much they let you invest in it during creation.

Being an async and leaving the (benign) strain of the virus behind in all the morphs you jump out of is also kind of cruddy for ethical characters and bound to show up and leave a trail on some scans and a bunch of other complications where one mechanic rubs against the other.

I've facilitated non-casting travel before by basically being sponsored on a tour of the solar system by a transport/delivery company and thus actually physically travelling with your morph, but the demands (and the little help) of Firewall feel very railroady at times and have you drop things like exploring some more interesting morph options in-depth.

>>50937459

It's not actually that, it's that I had so few emails that I had to keep posting on here in order to get a group going. I'm patient though, so it's usually not that big of an issue, but this time it's taking a bit longer than I'd like and I already have players that have been waiting for forever for me to get enough people.

I'm not a part of this discussion but Jesus Christ dude, shut the fuck up. Your bullshit is pissing me off. Why is this concept so disturbing to you? He wants to use this D20 system in a historical setting that just doesn't have fucking magic what about that is so hard to understand

>waah there's no dragons how can it be dungeons and dragons

IT'S JUST A NAME

What, do you fucking kick and scream in any campaign that goes on for too long without the appearance of a fucking dragon or magic spell? Why can't a campaign function without them? It doesn't fucking matter.

Imagine a normal campaign. You're fighting kobolds, goblins, and owlbears. Now imagine that same campaign but instead of kobolds, goblins, and owlbears, you're fighting fighters, rogues, and barbarians.

WOAH

IT'S THE SAME SHIT

IT'S ALL THE SAME SHIT

And why do you give a fuck about DnD flavor and lore? You do realize how much of that shit goes out the window anyways in just about any competent homebrew setting? None of it's important to the game experience and it's strictly better to have it provided by the GM in whatever flavor or fashion he sees fit. It's all fucking numbers and letters you fucking butt spelunker. Get the fuck out of my house

>>50978789
It's because you're recruiting for UA3, a system that is all three of obscure, weird, and not actually out yet.

>>50978816
Which is why it's understandable in my eyes that this will take a while.

>>50978935

>>50978906
Nah man this shit is bigger than you or I

The bullshit here has reached a level of high sin I'm not going to let it go

>>50978978

To be fair, I am like at least one tenth of the shitposting that's gone on here for the past month or so.

Mostly because of a few terrible GMs I've wasted time with while looking for a game to fill the void. Especially since I've few players who've shown interest in my games, and textgames are very rare these days.

>>50979052
You should only expect so much overlap between people who like the 19th century and people who like 5e. Even in that overlap people may not like them together because they have vastly different appeals. If you had said it was all-martial-no-magic but still medieval then I would have been signing up

>>50979052
Yes, it's everyone else's fault. Those damn players just don't get you and every other GM is clearly worse than you.

>>50979349

Hey, if people don't wanna play my games, that's fine. Don't put words in my mouth.

I feel like the reason there's so much butthurt in these threads is because the vast majority of people posting here are the kind of person who can't find a game in real life because people in real life wouldn't tolerate them. In any functional social group these people (whether they're players or GMs) would act out once or twice and then just never get invited back, except here they can just keep posting in the thread.

The only sane way I could think of recruiting from these threads would be running a couple one-shots and then inviting back the people who aren't full-on Internet wierdos.

>>50979998

These threads work better as a supplementary recruiting method rather than a primary one.

Also:

>Games in real life

It's like you WANT to be saddled with playing with THAT GUY because cutting him out of the game would cause strife in your social circle because you can't just tell a friend of a friend to fuck off because he has shit taste.

>>50979998
On one hand you're wrong because there's simply a lot of logistical and circumstantial problems that come up that means people just don't have locally available groups they can play with.

On the other hand you're right because when I did recruit my players from here they were absolute fucking cancer in a way that no one from anywhere else would have been and over something no one else would have acted like that over.

>>50980049
What's a good primary one,then?

>>50980068

The best primary recruitment source will always be preexisting contacts. If they're not interested, they might know people who are interested, at the very least.

It's very difficult to assemble a group that sticks together, though. You have to get lucky, and assume that people will naturally drift in and out.

>>50980068
Personally knowing people pretty much.

All the other online places are just cancer of a different kind.

The trick is the most shitposting you'll find from people is from the people who can't get games and insist on shitting up the thread. They make it look like everyone is terrible when it's really just the vocal ones that are shitheads.

What's the tolerance for homebrew games/settings in game-finder?

Should I list less popular possible systems as a player? Is it pointless?

I'm actually looking for a game-shop, perhaps. I live in Wembley, England at the moment and haven't seen an LGS around (not that I've honestly been looking that hard). I've been meaning to try some tabletop stuff for ages now, since ill-fated attempts back in high school. I'm not really up to speed on any current games but I'm willing to learn any.

tl;dr, anyone know a (good, preferably) LGS around Wembley, England?

>>50981348
Has anyone else encountered Colette?

>>50984523
Everything you invent would probably work better if combined with an existing system. You cant invent a whole system by yourself and shouldnt try. Whatever your thinking, it probably has been created or could atleast be adapted to another system.

As far as homebru settings, well thats more the rule than the exception in these threads. Very few people run premade stories from the books.

Right, apparently, without actually advertising, or having a campaign ready to go beyond the stages of translating the concept into material I've attracted 3 players.

I'm not sure how quickly anything I'm working on is actually gonna be ready to turn into playable, but I suppose I'll talk about it here.

The idea is to have a fairly average, low level party that, through the initial "get to know each other" quest becomes attached to a rural village whose problem they just solved, in exchange for the village having offered them a sort of permanent position as the villages caretakers/guardians, offering them basically a place to live and be fed and paid and everything in exchange for them taking care of the average minor problems that go beyond the scope of a lvl 1 Commoner but are solveable for your average lvl 1-2 adventuring party.

The party will in essence also become major advisors as to the towns issues and development, like a council of sorts. If you've ever played King of Dragon Pass, you can very much think of it that way, and the problems will range from everyday trivial small to large, much like in that game. Sometimes you might have to hire a higher level party, too.

The idea is for the game to be hybrid between text and live /w voice. There'll be lots of events and problems posted in their own individual text threads and people can debate (in character) on how they want to proceed or solve them and they'll be updated on the progression of things and outcomes aswell as state of the village there.

Once a week (hopefully) a live session will take place where crises that are time-critical or otherwise impossible to tackle in text will take place, likely in a more traditional PnP RPG way, including such things as combat.

The party will progress and level up and all, but social progression, material progression and the progress and growth of the town are going to be equal or larger focii than combat character progression.

>>50987785
Well if your a games developer for the indie market. First question: Why are you on here? And second question, if your already an experianced GM, why ask me these questions?

Im trying to show the person where to start and to take it in lumps, rather than undertake making a completely new system from scratch. Also, lets face it, while this guys plans may be a little different, chances are their not ALLOT different from the systems already out there.

>>50989890
I'm still in the stages of writing little event prompts for myself ahead of time so I have a large enough list to draw from to actually keep the content going for a while, and the actual live sessions aswell as an appealing intro quest that sets it all up are the hardest part to be honest.

I'm also unsure if I wanna go with generic medieval europe fantasy land or maybe move it to something Arabian, where a rural/frontier town would have entirely different issues and you'd have stuff like supply caravans and very different types of economy and resources, aswell as societies and ultimately player classes.

I'm also probably basing this off 3.5 (though with some modifications for sanity to things like mundane crafting rules, should they come up) and using Roll20 due to the internal forum it provides so I can run seperate threads for seperate event strings and they're all nice and self-contained and resolve cleanly. Though if someone's got a better service I'm up for suggestions.

Making it a normal race in later editions is one of the things I loathe them for the most and I consider anyone who plays one automatically cancer. Though not as cancer as someone playing a Sergal.

C) hotmail is my throw away account, because posting my real email on 4chan would be rudiculous.

>>50993430
Also no worries there. I normally play humans. They're just really fucking balanced and honestly easier to rp

>>50998403
Yeah I basically agree. When I play classes that have flavor I want to emphasize I stick to humans because then I can focus on the class. When I want to really bring out a race that's really cool I put effort into that and pick a relatively simple flavor class.

Internet games sometimes take weird turns. Had an Eclipse Phase game where some guy basically wanted to have a morph that was so heavily modified it was - in essence - a lizardman. And I had to talk to him for an hour to convince him that he needed to wear pants. And as far as I know he didn't have any weird fetishes.

Meanwhile the most steadfast member of the party who was just a regular human dude wearing a cybernetic rig that gave him 2 extra mechanical arms, not even implanted or anything, who I'd basically made a pseudo-main character because he was the steady rock I could rely on in the party spoke up and went "You know, I'm a gay furry in RL and I have no idea what the fuck that lizard guy is doing."

Scalefags are weird. I think it's the hatching from an egg part that attracts them to Dragonborn.

He was just a heavily modified human who decided his armorskin thing should look scaly and lizardy and got cosmetic mods for forked tongue and shit like that. He also had a skin pouch.

He still had a fully functional human dick and everything though and was basically still racially a human, just modded to fuck and back.

We've had an uplifted gorilla and he had no issue wearing clothes.

The absolute worst. It's much easier to reference rules quibbles when they're written down in text, and in my experience, ''hybrid'' games end up having the voicefags go down to blogsville.

Never again. Pure text only.

>>51005928
>It's much easier to reference rules quibbles when they're written down in text

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but if its someone making a mistake in something they're doing or forgetting a modifier to their roll I can just make a quick comment in voice going "plus this or that" and it's fine.

Besides, you realize that these games are normally played by people actually physically in the same room, speaking to each other, communicating emotions through their voices, right?

The hybrid nature is due to the difference in type of content being tackled in the live sessions versus the text based threads which aren't even handled in any sort of scheduled realtime session.

>>51006079

Subscriptions have also been simplified, no longer do you need everyone in your group to pay. You can try it out for free, and when you want to take things further, only one person in the group needs to pay $4.99 / month, rather than everyone having to chip in $0.99 / month. This changes things slightly for some Kickstarter backers. My current plan to handle this is to increase the rewards at some levels, such as by extending the term of the reward subscription, to ensure people feel like they are getting more than backing at a lower level.

And this doesn't sound so bad actually, I wouldn't mind paying the money each month.

I remember it had a really kookie (maybe rhyming even) name aswell. I just always remembered it cause it reminds me of 3.5's Shillelagh spell, always fun as a druid. Except you do the beating yourself.

The class that had it was apparently a straight up Witch (i.e. Hexe) that sounded very cackly, fairy-tale esque.

>>51029317

Do not listen to this man, he is a cuck.

Player.
EST.
Open availability.
Shadowrun (Any) Looking for a game to spectate. Not knowledgeable enough about the system to play.

Remember the salt as currency thread? That was a fun thread.

It would be neat if we could have like a topic of the week thread with a rotating topic ever week of some little aspect or idea you could incorporate into different kinds of systems or campaigns, like the salt as currency stuff.

Also bump mostly.

I saw reviews for it on steam and decided against it.

Alas.

Someone post a campaign I want to play in.

>>51035758
What systems are you looking for?

>>51035950
3.5, Eclipse Phase, Shadowrun, Rogue Trader (or DH I guess), Paranoia, willing to learn something like (n)WoD maybe or Dark Eye like the guy up there, aswell. Or some weird shit like Nobilis. I'm open to pitches.

How about SenZar?

>>51035999
Not familiar with it.

Nice 9's though.

SenZar is what happens when a trio of metalheads try to make a game while mainlining heavy metal album covers. It gets memed as being terrible occasionally, but isn't actually that bad.

Chargen is point-based, progression is level-based. Levels run 1-100, but you're gods from 21 onwards.

Unfortunately, the setting supplement either never came out or was only bought by four people. Sucks, because one of bits of setting stuff in the core mentions that although the planet of SenZar has three moons, the third one is normally not visible because ancient demon lords enchanted it to spew UV radiation over the planet, killing all surface life. After the demon lords were overthrown, it was thrown into its own pocket dimension it occasionally escapes from.

I'm reading a sort of review/synopsis right now, and it sounds a lot like Paranoia but instead of no mechanics its all mechanics and instead of not taking itself seriously it takes itself seriously.

>>51036097
I don't know if I'd have described it like that at all. In terms of mechanical weight, I'd say it's a bit lighter than 2e AD&D (which I'm 80% sure it's a heartbreaker of).

What review are you reading? I know there's one where the reviewer went back to it later and changed their opinion from 'It's trash' to 'It's not as bad as I thought'.

First thing I found

Pretty old, and that guy really should take a look at his writing style before bitching about others being pretentious or trying to force humor.

Anyway I must be off for now.
