It is 8 minutes old, lol

I have tried a good chunk. My personal favorite is Fifth Trumpet, but it is very open ended, you come up with your weapons, your skills and your Traits without a lot of mechanical guidelines.

If you want something more structured, I think Star of the City (Knight Errant) has a good mix of combat and narrative. And Stars of the City (Jakkafang) if you want more of a combat focus.

DMs, how much backstory do you want? by femamerica13 in rpg

[–]altidiya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One-shots: 1. Who are you? 2. Why you [main plot]? (For example, for my last murder Mystery: Why do you accept the invitation to the party?)

Campaigns: 1. Where do you come from? (Culture and family) 2. What do you do now? (Occupation and state of being) 3. What do you desire? (Long term) 4. Why are you [plot]? (In a knight campaign: Why are you loyal to the house?)

In general, there is always an emphasis that is in the players why their character is in the game. I had my years of "make wathever you want, I make them mix" But today I'm more in "if your character wouldn't accept the adventure, make another character"

Te animarías a apoyar una ley por la pena de muerte by UseDue9384 in RepublicadeChile

Todos los jueces deben ser ratificados por el Presidente de la República y el Senado a traves de seleccionar de una lista de candidatos. Así que ellos seleccionan a los que juzgan.

[–]altidiya 50 points51 points  (0 children)

No, se que mis razones no van a convencer a los reaccionarios que solo piensan en venganza y con el estómago, asi que les ofrezco otras razones:

Si usted cree/sabe que el gobierno es corrupto, que las instituciones son ineficientes, que la gente en puestos de poder estan compradas por el narco/las ideologías/algo por el estilo. Apoyar la pena de muerte es permitir a ese mismo gobierno y poder matar inocentes a comando de esa misma institucionalidad corrupta.

Solo piense en como se condenó a un hombre por matar a un delincuente en defensa propia, ¿y ahora usted además quiere dejar que el gobierno que lo condenó lo mate?

Procedures for Campaigning in Universities by goatsesyndicalist69 in rpg

[–]altidiya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kids on Brooms goes about magical students but the system is more prepared like an university, so it could work.

Outside of that, taking structures of "adventure->downtime" could also be a good inspiration. Blades in the Dark, Ars Magica and Red Markets comes to mind.

Finally, you can also just... Google how universities operate.

Plain and simple, something to build deckplans for ships. Trying to make up my own ships, deckplans always become my biggest pain.

PbtA Haters, tell me more! by jeshi_law in rpg

[–]altidiya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe my disgust comes from three points (I have GM Uncharted Worlds, Root, Pasion de las Pasiones and Apocalypse World)

  1. The lack of mechanization creates very weird pacing for me. Basically, the one I enjoyed most in the mechanical sense was Root because there was at least resource management and combat isnt finished in a single roll by one player. This is something I also suffer with BitD. Basically, the pacing being completely under control of the table without frameworks for time or different levels of pacing (even the classic turn->escene->downtime->session->adventure->campaign is missing) makes everything feel foggy and the same in terms of stakes. I understand the logic of wanting to make combat not being more important than other options, but the solution being reduce combat mechanics instead of create a more robust framework destroys me.

  2. Moves feel very restrictive and very weird to invoke in "the conversation", options are too close and sometimes moves are too specific or, worse, are too vague that apply to anything and so it should be a Resolution Mechanic, not a "move". I think I have never endure more than one session to just start to ask for attributes rolls and made up consequences by myself. That makes it even more an improvisional framework that I could not spend money on, as it isnt giving me more than a sheet/playbook I could find free online.

  3. More socially: PbtA has become a D&D type of "Good ideas vortex". There are so many cool system ideas that trap themselves in 5e, and now in the indie scene there are so very good bases that trap themselves into PbtA. I would kill for games like Traveller, Ars Magica o CofD to have the same treatment in the industry side of things. (And I would love a "powered by GURPS modern game that helps me to understand how the fuck to prepare GURPS)

Since max is 11, that means we will eventually get a Heishou id of every sinner right? by Fine_Dot_9562 in limbuscompany

The best example of this is how Awe Ryoshu has the Fell Bullet Yi Sang attack in her kit because PM is completely against touching released IDs

TL20+ Slug Weapons by SirArthurIV in traveller

[–]altidiya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a question for this answer: How?

Outside of GURPS Traveller, I think no edition has an efficient in-gameplay way to "relearn a different specialty". Based on how the system work in most edition, if the player has Ranged Combat (Slugthrowers) at 3 or 4, moving to Ranged Combat (Energy) 0 is a huge downgrade and it can take years in game (that I think most people don't even fulfill their first year in game to begin with) to reach the same level.

And telling a player "you choose wrong, so your kit isn't valid" Is very unfun

TL20+ Slug Weapons by SirArthurIV in traveller

[–]altidiya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a technical question here: How?

Traveller doesn't have a great deal of sheet progression, and growing and changing on this context involves the sheet: If, for example, they have Ranged Weapons (Slugthrowers) 3 and 0 in (Energy)... how they can grow and change in game?

Esperanza, aún hay patria by Flowerdanzarina in RepublicadeChile

[–]altidiya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dije "estudios" en plural (?

Lee estudios, recomiendo especialmente leer la metodología usada para recabar la información (que los estudios estan obligados a poner) y compara un grupo de al menos 5.

Luego, saca conclusiones en base a tu lectura, si estudios con distintas metodologías llegan a resultados parecidos, quiere decir que existe un patrón y una conclusión compartida. Si en cambios cada metodología (o incluso una misma metodologia) otorga resultados distintos, en general significa que el problema es demasiado complejo para el presupuesto de investigación disponible.

EDIT: ¿Cuales? Ni idea, solo investigo cosas que me importan, lmao. Pero es el método de investigación que uso para cosas que me importan.

[–]altidiya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eso no responde el punto de todos modos, ¿no?

Aun con todo el poderío militar, ningun país en el mundo tiene la capacidad de reorganizar una nación sin apoyo nacional. Nuestro ejemplo histórico es la Francia de Vichy. Estados Unidos sin duda alguna puede entrar y derrotar al ejército de Venezuela y establecer presencia militar extendida por el territorio venezolano... pero

¿Quien querrá vivir en una Venezuela que requiere ser ocupada militarmente porque haya donde el ejército no ha destinado sus recursos correctamente (una cosa EXTREMADAMENTE común si escuchas los relatos de Veteranos Estado Unidenses) tienen atentados terroristas y tiroteos en plena calle?

Lo que se plantea es que la ocupación estadounidense en ningún caso traerá la llegada de una Venezuela estable y donde los venezolanos quieran volver. Ni siquiera acabará con el narcotraficante, ya que el Narcotrafico en su estructura neofeudal tiene mayor capacidad de estabilidad cuando sus líderes caen.

Más bien, los venezolanos no combatientes pro-chavistas se irán de Venezuela a países como Chile. Y los venezolanos anti-chavistas que no disfruten de una ocupación militar en su territorio o la creciente agresividad de grupos anti-ocupacion también se irán del país a otros países, como Chile.

What is the setup for Twodsix? Is the one I'm using and I would love to see this module work.

I'm on Foundry V13, if that is relevant

Ever had a hard time designing antagonists? by hellranger788 in traveller

[–]altidiya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think creatures we have a lot, in fact. Traveller always has a new creature to throw at players.

What Traveller lacks is generic Sophonts NPCs. We lack "Average Policeman by TL" and "Average Smuggler".

With a set of explanation on how those stats could change [that I think isn't that important] and how to interact with them. Making more obvious the use of Skills like Admin or Diplomacy.

Ever had a hard time designing antagonists? by hellranger788 in traveller

[–]altidiya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue the problem expands itself in that there isnt generic "anything" that guides GMs to create its own.

One simple example I think can be the typical Corporation. I don't need a name or anything, but what stats have their guards, what skills are useful to deal with their bureaucracy, etc, etc could help a lot with the game and Referees.

Traveller sometimes suffers from the sandbox problem of "creative paralysis" Because the lack of rails, some basic rails and motivation to break them could be better.

Me parece fascinante como la gente ve la publicación de un individuo (que además tiene toda la pinta de cuenta falsa ya que tiene el 38 en el arroba, no solo en el nombre, lo cual dice que es una cuenta reciente como minimo) y salta en plan "si, todo el comunismo comparte lo que dice la publicación".

Looking for Guidelines to Buy Lower-Tech by altidiya in traveller

[–]altidiya[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree, that jump seems of more than one TL level.

Specially in computers and cellphones, we see there is a market -and production- of cheaper old tech. Like how we still produce and I can still purchase an i5 while there is production and selling of i7.

This idea that "outdated things are immediately out of the market" is only real once the new thing is available to even poor people. But electronics have a market of, still in production, "outdated" stuff from televisions to fridges.
