Have you ever ran Elder Scrolls inspired settings? I plan to run a west marshes set in High Rock and Skyrim using D&D 5th edition.
>>92796639When I was like 12 I ran an AD&D game based on Daggerfall.It was fun, but we were also 12.
>>92796639Ran a TES game with Basic Roleplaying rules as I read Ken Rolston was involved in both. Percentile skills and improvement with use seemed to translate very well. Didn't get too far but it was fun.

How do you like your werewolves /tg/?
Balls deep inside a vampire twink.>>92824824Also acceptable.
>>92824617Reproducing by ravishment fantasy.
I don't.Next.
>>92824617Scary, gross and fucked up.If they just look like furries that shit is boring and uninteresting. Werewolves should be mangy monsters, with fucked up proportions that are not quite man not quite wolf. They should constantly drool like rabid dogs, they should walk in a posture that looks painful, they should have a long, painful transformation process, they should be murderous machines, completely overtaken by primal instinct and they should not remember anything by daylight.Basically, make them monsters. Make them the absolute most savage reflection of mankind's inner animal, and the ugliness that means.DO NOT make them WoD woofs, those are the gayest thing ever made.
>>92824617I like them as wizards who sold their soul for the power to shapeshift, and correspondingly went utterly mad. Their bodies are made of an oozing, tar-like substance, which can harden or liquefy as needed for killing or movement, though it always retains a vaguely lupine shape. Their eyes are white and bulging, with six concentric black rings expanding from the pupil. Even when they assume a human form (which is difficult, as their insanity makes it very difficult to maintain a solid shape for long stretches), one can detect faint traces of these rings in their eyes if examined closely.
Who do think is the best ‘evil’ deity in Faerun to dedicate yourself to /tg/?‘Best’ defined by overall quality of life in the church and low likelihood of being killed by your peers, harpers and good adventurers.
>>92822134Where the fuck do you get that from?Up until 3e he was mister tall dark and handsome, and we know he used to be a mortal alongside Bhaal and Myrkul, who were presumably all from the southeast, given we know Myrkul was royalty in Murghom, and that was all long before orcs were brought to Faerun.
Big fan of Loviatar, something about her just feels... right.
>>92822134Why the fuck is Bhaal the big enemy when someone like a conquering tyrant is much more a threat to the realm than a murderer? Even Myrkul is a more dangerous member of the Dead Three than Bhaal.

Would you play an RPG that has skills only, with no stats or base attributes? Would you play it for a long campaign? Let's say that it was rules medium otherwise, perhaps the same density of rules as DnD 5e, perhaps a shade less.
I do like the idea of building a character based on traits that define both their skills and personality.
>>92816862HeroWars / HeroQuest (now QuestWorlds) had something similar - there are only abilities which are anything that could be used to solve a problem. A character has some keywords that represent say culture, occupation, religion (basically a character concept or archetype) that gives a bunch of abilities related to the keywords or are just used as an ability themselves, as well as other that can be freely added. Abilities can be anything - physical or mental attributes (like "strong" or "keen hearing" or "eidetic memory"), personality ("humble", "honorable"), usual skills ("climbing", "horse riding", "magic lore"), possessions ("flaming sword", "dragon shield"), ressources ("filthy rich", "library of magic tomes"), relationships ("member of the thieves guild", "pupil of the mad wizard") and so on. Everything is an ability and is used in the same way.
>>92816862>What is any given d100 system made after mid-90s>What is any given rule-light system since hipster-coreOh look, another no-game thread, where one of the most common shit around is treated like this big, game-changing thing, because memes only talk about DnD
>>92816862What you are describing to me, is basically one of the previous version of mekton (I forget which one).Well, except it very much has stats and base attributes, but the version i played was very much focused on the skill - which were how you did anything from attacking, to programing, to farting.Loved it, played a 1.5 year less-anime more BattleTech inspired campaign. Remember it fondly to this day.But yeah, I'd honestly imagine and all-skill game to end up similiar. After so many point-increases in any RPG base stats basically begin to mean nothing.
>>92816862If you're going to have ONLY skills, you will probably have a lot of them. In most skills-heavy TTRPGs I've tried like Call of Cthulhu or White Wolf titles I've found a massive list often ends up touching on redundant factors, like differences between Etiquette, Persuasion and Fast Talk. Often I'll only be able to invest in one, and often I'll be asked to roll another instead because of minutia that doesn't strike me as compelling or controllable. Not to mention half of them will probably never be brought up by the GM for usage unless you really reach and beg for them to consider it.The exception I've found to this was the Warhammer Fantasy tabletop, which had a stacking momentum bonus for any successful check so you could find methods to open with your strongest skills and use the bonus to boost your weaker ones.
Playing as orange, what would you do?
>>92823035I'd start by picking up those dice and rolling them.
15 to 16 then 13 to 16
>>92823687They're already rolled

I'm struggling to understand why tabletop gaming and particularly wargames like Warhammer can be so pricey. I've found that to start playing I need to shell out around $300-500 just to get a single army and on top of that I also need to buy paint and rulebooks. Let alone wargaming the core books for D&D in my country cost a whopping $180. And let's not forget the additional expenses for maps, item cards and paper minis(cheapshit but it works). It's mind blowing how expensive this hobby can be
>>92764192>even just being a book nerd adds up quicklyNegro what? A used decent ereader costs <$100 and ebooks are literally free.

>>92827518>strongly held wrong opinions>autismChecks out.
>>92822043>>92822089Dagon is named after a Mesopotamian deity, so there'd at least a bit of traction in the Ancient world.
>>92814889>Don't say Battletech/Aerotech.There's another game by Fasa called Noble Armada. Don't know much about it, but RalPartha EU still sells the models and rulebooks.Spaceship battles are not my genre, but I know of a some others, maybe it's worth looking into them.A Billion Suns is a little more recent for example. Osprey published that in 2020 and it seems fairly managable.Star Blazers is a 1997 Voyager Entertainment game. That is definitely pretty crunchy and may qualify for "autistic torture device" just by flipping through the book. Seems to be inspired by classic anime though.I feel like I'm forgetting something (aside from the obvious stuff like XWing and Battlefleet Gothic). Silent Death and Talon are two games that came up for me when I was trying to shake loose a memory, but I don't know anything about those.

A while ago I asked if anyone would be interested in a thread about folkloric monsters from Siberia. The responses were... really lukewarm and few in number, so I shelved the idea. But right now I desperately need to kill some time, so I'm going to make this thread anyway.Before we begin, I'm going to make two things clear. One might be self-explanatory, but it wouldn't hurt stressing it to avoid unnecessary confusion going forward. There's no such ethnicity as "Siberian", much like there's no single "Native American" ethnic group. All of the creatures that I'm going to write about belong to different folklores, but I'm not going to mention their exact provenance to save space and spare you the boring details.Second, because most of these creatures come from fairly obscure fairy tales, not all of them have quality illustrations. Because of that, I'm going to search for pictures that best approximate their descriptions and post them instead. I've also contemplated using AI art, but ultimately decided against it.

>>92824598Yes, that's the guy>In this fashion did Turjan enter his apprenticeship with Pandelume. Day and far into the opalescent Embelyon night he worked under Pandelume's unseen tutelage. He learned the secret of of renewed youth, many spells of the ancients, and a strange abstract lore that Pandelume termed "Mathematics".>"Within this instrument," said Pandelume, "resides the Universe. Passive in itself and not of sorcery, it elucidates every problem, each phase of existence, all the secrets of time and space. Your spells and runes are built upon its power and codified according to a great underlying mosaic of magic. The design of this mosaic we cannot surmise; our knowledge is didactic, empirical, arbitrary. Phandaal glimpsed the pattern and so was able to formulate many of the spells which bear his name. I have endeavored through the ages to break the clouded glass, but so far my research has failed. He who discovers the pattern will know all of sorcery and be a man powerful beyond comprehension."
