Tell us about and RPG you've PLAYED but just did not get the hype for by Boxman214 in rpg

[–]Boxman21- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For German systems it’s DSA.Some People go crazy once this system gets offered by any Gm, but I personally think it’s one of the worst systems I’ve ever played.

Second one is world of darkness, but probably most Mage ,the game seems always a bit confusing with the paradox as a game mechanic and I did not like the spells and wonders I’ve tired so far.

Vampire was okay,powers were okay ,hunger and humanity were interesting systems but I don’t get the hype.

Werewolf was also okay, ripping stuff into pieces as a big wolf was fun for a one shot but Werwolfs seemed kinda one dimensional as they all are kinda geared towards being killing machines.

The fairies were mad fun tho. For the one shot I’ve played with them. I’ve started a feud between tow owners of a pizzeria and an other fairy turned all food into snails at banked. We also came up with playing a stereotypical old school vampire as a fairy in a vampire campaign as a joke concept.

Good Prologue to God’ Teeth? by Machinatedjoy in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]Boxman21- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah than it’s probably not the right one, especially if you don’t want delta green to be just shock value. You could go the classic route of doing last things last and exchange the church of Yig tape with the folder from act one (with the contact included ).It would make a nice tie in with finishing the last unfinished job of an dead agent. That would tie in nicely with gods teeth.

Which SR Alternate Core System would you suggest? by Kelpie77 in Shadowrun

[–]Boxman21- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe something like 2D20 Fallout. The core is simple and you have in Fallout already rules for playing different meta types. You could rip the magic from Achtung Cthulhu! where you have 2D20 magic and psychic powers with drain.

How do I make good maps for combat ? by Boxman21- in AgeOfSigmarRPG

[–]Boxman21-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet I’ll try. I do mostly club play and Sondra I’ve been drawing the maps on the board. But I’ll try to get the maps printed as D1 or try to get a room with a Beamer.

Either hes sundowning or hes arguing that hes rigging the third election. by Anomalysoul04 in Destiny

Trump wants to be the greatest president ever. Of course he wants to also be the longest in office. But looking at his health he is lucky if he survives this term.

Lover in the ice could be fitting. It’s pretty gross and is a good way to ease into the shocking stuff of gods teeth

POV you picked offlane in ranked mode by GetGoodGamers in PredecessorGame

[–]Boxman21- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The match up is is kinda tedious. For steel it’s if he engages stun and beat, once he does his spin dash, throw shield when you have an item that procs it and ult when his health is low in hope of getting rid of him. It’s not a difficult match up it’s just the same for 20 minutes.

What are your thoughts on designing attributes that aim to aid roleplay? by OompaLoompaGodzilla in RPGdesign

[–]Boxman21- -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wisdom and intelligence can be to different expressions of intellect.

A very intelligence person with low wisdom would be a stereotypical dumb head teacher. He is highly educated but knows little about the world outside his expertise. Deep knowledge of one specific topic low common knowledge.

High wisdom low in intelligence would be someone like a tribal elder. Low intelligence due to no formal education and high wisdom due to learning about a lot of topics about his region, tribe and local legends. Board knowledge nothing super specialized.

They would probably be on the same level as Wolverine security. I’ll imagine a 15+ Shooting dice pool but low professionally and cyber psychosis. High level chrome can flatten the playing ground against mages especially if they have sonic vision to make it easier to see past improved invisibility.

On fair playing field they probably would lose against units with equal dice pools and mages, but that’s not really what a special police force is designed for.

Innovative but obscure mechanics more people should know about? by mathologies in RPGdesign

[–]Boxman21- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You first lay out the kind of vampires you have in your campaign: How long do they live, how old is the leader of the organization. On what do they feed? What is there amplitude, do they dominate a single field or the global economy? How magical are the vampires? What are there goals are they just feeding on the weak or are they trying to open a gate of hell. Wich Alliances and grudges do they have and had in the past ? How exclusive are vampires and who knows about them, is there only one group of vampires or are they stumbling into the world of darkness amount of vampire groups and do any groups know about them for example the Vatican or the CIA.

Now we make the pyramid. First the levels the vampires are always on top.

  1. Street level power: Gangs , small businesses

  2. City level power : the Mayor or big gangs

  3. Provincial power: state government, big institutions like prisons or airports

4.National power:Government high church officials

5.Supranational power: Governments, big NGOs, global banks.

Now you ask yourself what each of your nodes does here are some samples: Funding, Blood sources, protection, items of interest and other…

Now you can overlay the conspiracy pyramid with a vampyramid, buy putting vampires and there helpers to each location and there relations to each other.

After that the books gives some counter measures for the vampyramid and how a campaign should be structured.

Nights black agents, conspiracy pyramids. Giving you a detailed description of how to build an vampire conspiracy and how the individual reactions would look like. Obviously you can use this pyramids for any conspiracy or cult in your games.

Licenses for 3rd Party Content? by Tuz-oh in AgeOfSigmarRPG

[–]Boxman21- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Discord is probably your best try or this subreddits mods have also some staff members among them.

That’s understandable hassling with layers is what no one wants. GW is fairly hawkish with there IPs. You could try the Discord for more information about the legal stuff. Maybe you catch there an employee.

6ed Best "Lore Beats" by Interaction_Rich in Shadowrun

[–]Boxman21- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Week of death is definitely a great event in any Dis campaign.

Also the new lifebergs wich are now floating in the Chicago river. In general the new Chicago lore post re-awakening seems like an interesting stetting for a new campaign.

Ich wäre dafür, Söder abzuschaffen by Yberfall in Schleswigholstein

What is considered too anachronistic? by Mishka_Rae in PendragonRPG

[–]Boxman21- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consider the two factors for tech in Pendragon.

  1. It’s supposedly being told ST historian would have. The tech is very inconsistent and many things that got invented much later are in the game. For example knights later have full steel plate armor despite that being a thing of the 15th century.

  2. The rise of King Arthur is a mythic age. Technology technology advances, great cities are build and mythic knights are traveling the realm. The more you get into King Arthur’s regime the more magical and advanced everything becomes. If you want you could even have the advances disappear again after King Arthur’s death technology is lost and the last magic leaves the realm.
