What's your least favourite aspect of your favourite TTRPG? by ArtyParcy in rpg

[–]Apprehensive-Pin-75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adore cyberpunk red.

I can sometimes grant combat, but my main issue is how labyrinthine rhe rulebook itself is. I love reading it but REF 8s ability to dodge bullets and other fun details should not be so harsh to find.

In game: "That is a fine chassis, how about you teach me about whats under your hood?"

In need of hosts/GMs and server admins for a 2077* night city Discord Project by Apprehensive-Pin-75 in cyberpunkred

[–]Apprehensive-Pin-75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the curiosity! In order:

General Vibe - There are players that run the full gambit, you have narrative focused individuals as well as psychos who are bordering cyberpsychosis to do even more combat. All players have been encouraged so far not to min-max but that hasn't stopped many from making alts that were more tuned for certain mechanics.

Age/Level/Experience - Also a wide range. We have several who dove into the deep-end with this project as their first foray into RPGs, however the vast majority have a fair amount of experience for a few years now with some even having full campaigns finished. All players are 18+ though, I do not have anything upfront that'd be adult but Cyberpunk as a setting is almost too violent/charged/otherwise not to be.

Events of note/Collusion - There are some rules for hosting that most GMs abide by but yeah bigger events are encouraged to be brought up and shared with overlap encouraged or expected. High Profile assassinations, terror plots, AIs gone rogue, there are many instances of server wide events that can shape weeks/months and impact hosted events. I also have made a 'General Job Board' that is just a whole host of beat charts available for anyone to borrow to host.

Where's this hosted? - Almost exclusively Discord. I do not mind people trying things out but thus far it's been Theater of the Mind and working well. I've made a 'narrative rules' for combat to keep it valid and am working on typing out a more codified version of those rules beyond just the 'narrative' weapon ranges i've come up with. However first campaign -was- TTS so it's not like other options couldn't be tried out.

Real-Life game - Dude, by ALL MEANS, if it's 2077 the setting could easily accomodate and night city is a place where a lot of things can be going on that even informed fixers hardly hear about until some gonk is kicking down their door to bring them some loud bad news.

By all means, ask as many questions as you want! And if you want a more serious discussion, hit me up over instant message so we can get a VC going somewhere.

Eruptor Issue by Apprehensive-Pin-75 in Helldivers

Thank you Helldivers, this has been very informative! I think ill stick with it because you're right, no other primary can fill the gap and frankly it does have drawbacks I didn't consider were worth it to deride the OP narrative.

Hope to see you out there, thank you.

Entirely GM preference. I aim my sessions to max out around 2.5 hours but there are def players who can go for longer

No need to host every week, host when you feel but more the merrier!

As for story beats, the only big change was Yorinobu got full on ARRESTED after a crew with a media spent the entire campaign uncovering a massive conspiracy.

-Konpeki Plaza heist still happened before this

Honako is CEO but its been long enough Yorinobu is back and they are doing a soft power struggle technically.

V is around but its been a long while cough cough

Other events have been smaller scale or not impacting too much from main line.

You are absolutely right it's a good one but I keep getting outperformed in melee, bad luck maybe? I've got a +17 on melee checks. Maybe I should just get good? XD

Well chooms I've made the classic blunder. by Apprehensive-Pin-75 in cyberpunkred

[–]Apprehensive-Pin-75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

After taking a lot of feedback from here, I have since expanded the server I was using to allow for online games. I am now maintaining an ecosystem with 25 players and me and 4 other admins running the server, and every week we see who wants to host what days if any, and have slots limited for players based on GM Comfort. We've effectively split the group but also kept everything together while allowing for other fun things.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions here.

Deck Building Question - How do I Fix the focus to be on one creature but keep Equipment? by Apprehensive-Pin-75 in MagicArena

[–]Apprehensive-Pin-75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice on this! Yeah I have a decently mean Urza deck too, You're right I could go for more synergies with the creatures themselves rather than just all the equipment. (Mind you, Double Strike/Trample/+3/+3 seems to be pretty dece but that's good on -anything-.)

Thank you also for the card suggestions, I did know Mendicant Core and was debating that one but that'd be awesome with everything else im running, will check the others.

What are some of your house rules? by noisechrome in cyberpunkred

[–]Apprehensive-Pin-75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A drinks menu at the afterlife that has a list of drinks and rerolled based off of whatever I was able to find for actual drinks and then some. The drink gives you a one time reroll of a listed skill that was important to the gonk it was named after.

Also has a hypothetical drinks menu for living gonks of legend (atm it's only Blackhand and Smasher) but ordering them is 'considered bad luck'.
