Given the way things have turned out here, I'm personally calling it quits on 8kun. This place never really improved from its initial unstable launch state and recent drama between Jim and Mark has made it pretty clear that this place doesn't matter to him and neither the legacy boards nor community matter to him. Stay if you want, but I'd highly recommend you let this place die and join everyone else on the new boards.

EDIT

8kun is semi-functional, but not yet optimal for regular use. For the time being, it's strongly advised that you join the meta thread on the bunker and discuss our options and plans.

EDIT

Normally we'd wait longer before a new Meta-Thread is made, but there is some minor good news. Due to repeated fuckups with 8chan, we've seen a lot of images turn into dead links. Combined with the rollback, the majority of images on /tg/ were lost even after we attempted to recover and we resorted to using youtube embeds to make things look a little less awful.

As it turns out, there is a potential fix for some images: If the same exact file of a lost image is posted in another thread on /tg/, the previously blanked image will return after a Shift+F5 refresh. This won't allow us to recover everything, like clipboard images, but it is a partial fix for threads that are still active and reliant on their images.

Had a guy run a weird mishmsh of Old WoD and Requiem. Basically we were playing a Sabbat game with the Requiem rules. And we were going to be starting in the late 18th early 19th century in America with a couple time skips to lead into modern nights. As soon as he said that I knew what I was playing. I made a Brujah/Deva inspired by Christopher Walken's Headless Horseman character. So yeah, I had a head and all, but I was the real monster that inspired the legends. And of course, no talking.

But I COULD do things like growl, scream, and cackle. And nod, or shake my head, shrug my shoulders... it was an interesting experience, having to really explore nonverbal communication and learn to emote in character. And since I was literate(as a mercenary when I was human I had to read contracts and have some business sense after all) if I ever needed to explain something complex I had to break out a notepad and write it down, which I did IRL.

It was bumpy at first, I kept just telling the other players what I was "saying" with my emoting, and I got too complex more than once, but once I started just physically acting out my characters "dialogue" it got to be fun. Obviously I wasn't much help during planning sessions, aside from weighing in on what I thought about a proposed course of action (frown, sneer, shrug, derisive cackle, grin and start sharpening by big fuck of sword) but I was combat monster so once we had rooted out those Camarilla pansies I always had plenty to do.

I've been running a mute with telepathy magic. He doesn't speak the local language, so he uses imagery to communicate. My party actually depends on me to be their story-teller, as I can read people's memories and then show them to people who would otherwise refuse to believe the magical crap we encounter. I still explain my actions irl, so it isn't a pain for my group. The biggest drawback is the energy cost to communicate.

Why? For what purpose?

Punish that player by reminding them that it takes a while to learn sign language and when they can't communicate to other players it's their own damn fault.

I swear to god, my players are on their phones all the time. One of them has literally pulled out a laptop and started playing a video game at the table. While waiting for his turn. Last session one of the players said "I realize I'm the only one who's not on some kind of device right now." One was playing a game on a handheld, one was on his laptop, and 2 were on their phones. I don't even remember what was happening. We have a pretty big table and sometimes I can't even draw out the grid for a fight because there are 2 laptops in the way.

WTF is this? Am I that shitty of a DM? I try to keep rules look-up and downtime to a minimum. Hell most of what I do is pretty fast, if it's in combat. The problem is when other players are taking their turns and spending several minutes doing basic math.

I try not to have too much combat but I have to have some. My group seems barely interested in the game though they did enjoy RP with some orcs last session. The adventure seems engaging to me and they do get somewhere in it but I swear to god I will describe a room and they will not even respond. I've had dead silence while they were on devices. Or sometimes they'll just bring up some meme or something and then OMG WE HAVE TO WATCH THAT VIDEO NOW so one of them brings it up on the smartphones. Like what the fuck? To be fair, it was almost this bad before the smartphones. I know that this is part of why the last DM quit.

What the fuck do I do? I've run games for 10 years, I am a natural at it. That doesn't mean I am good necessarily but I naturally have this GM / storytelling mindset. I don't railroad. I've never had this issue with older players. Yet early 20s millennial players seem to be unable to get off their fucking phones!!!

Are you such a faggot that you can't even talk to your friends when you have a problem? They hardly sound like friends at all.

Here's my advice. Man up, talk to your friends, tell them you have a problem. You, the GM, take time out of your life to make an interesting story that caters to their fantasies as much as yours, and is designed to be fun for them. Even if they were complete strangers, you have a right to tell them when you have a legitimate problem with something they're doing. Since they're your friends, apparently, you are obligated to do so.

>I'll look like I have a stick up my ass.

Did you come here for a solution or just to bitch about your players? Quit acting like a fucking woman.

>You look massively insecure if you do that especially in today's social climate where being on the phone is socially acceptable.

You look massively insecure right now.

>>You should be able to straight up say that the devices impact your ability to GM.

>They don't really, they just make me wonder if the game is boring as fuck and I also find it annoying

<they don't impact my ability to GM, they just impact my ability to GM

>>421968

>modern D&D's CR system

>they won't switch because "it's boring"

Alright so it's starting to sound like you're actually a shit GM after all. I think I can tell you why your players aren't paying attention, and it's pretty simple. They don't need to pay attention. You have made your game so easy, that the players don't need to think, or put any effort in, and can afford to be distracted half the time and still get what they want. You need to change this.

I could do so many many terrible things to a part or players who weren't listening.

Press gangs, fool's gold, tourist prices, mickey finns, vampires, skinwalkers, talking crocottas, scams, thuggee, cutpurses and pickpockets, getting lost, getting sold the wrong spell components, bad food, leeches, ticks, the campfire burning equipment, animals getting into supplies, getting caught in bad weather, getting blown into reefs and rocks, getting caught in a flooding cave, getting caught in a flooding dry river bed, getting caught in a flooding flood plain, wandering over the wrong border, food poisoning, pregnancy, venereal disease, runaway steeds, and waking up with something from the Drunken Hookup Table.

Seriously, this is a wonderful opportunity to really fuck with them and make them do a Humiliation Conga made all the worse for it being so easily avoidable.

>wants advice

What you want isn't advice on dealing with people. It's some nifty clever in-house rule about collective basket-weaving origami contests that will suddenly make them jump off their phone and get them 100% invested in their 300th session.

This isn't a group of friends getting together on friday nights for a fun session. Joe doesn't care that Dan's warlock wolf furry (original race) has just slain his 50th crystal golem. There's no threat, or bonding. They'll get passive agressive if their character gets a scratch and you can't handle pressure heavier than a feather.

All they come for is for the pathetic ego trip of playing as an overpowered wuxia flying elf paladin with infinite high level gear. You're a prostitute for their ego trips. What do you do when your buddy is done with the group whore? Stare at his dick as he's railing her 10 ways to sunday? That shit's gay. Of course they sit on their phones.

The best advice in this thread has been given: Change players, change system, stop being a bitch and confront them about the issue or flat out quit if it rubs you the wrong way.

If it's only quick bits on the phone, fine, but laptops? Put that shit away nigger this isn't a college class.

If the time between rounds is taking too long, discuss it with them. Figure out where the time sinks are and help the players make it more efficient. If after that time trimming they're still playing side games, tell them if they're bored they're welcome to go elsewhere.

Hey /tg/. I'm GMing my first campaign, a homebrew alternate history weird western using modified Shadowrun rules. So far, everybody in the group I game with has loved it, to the point that the GM of the game we've been playing is considering ending his game, so we can play the game I'm running more than once every two weeks.

However, the GM also tends to be 'that guy' when he isn't running a game. When i first told him I was going to be running some sort of game, he told me he would make a high charisma based character and "fuck your setting into the dirt".

And so, when I started with a two player one-off game, my first time running a game ever, he made a character with charisma skills so high, he was able to hit his charisma limit, and tried insisting that meant his character got what he wanted.

At first I tolerated it, since it was mildly amusing - He conviced the other player that the job of robbing a train wasn't good enough, and ended up managing to blow up the railroad just before the train went over a gorge. While that did fuck up the setting, it also allowed me to diverge from real history in a way I wanted to. However, he didn't stop there, and he began to take over the town I had set the game in (Laramie), insisting that since he had rolled his limit, and his limit was higher than the average dicepool of the people in Laramie, that he would be able to convince them to sign over their buisnesses to him by using fancy words and talking around them in circles.

By the time I managed to put a stop to it, he had taken over 80% of the town, missing only the blacksmith (who he tried to seduce the wife of infront of him, and was chased off with a shotgun), and the bank (who was owned by a jewish guy, and refused to shake the native american snake oil salesman's hand, and thus avoided being pricked with a needle filled with some sort of drug.).

He said he's going to do it again when he joins the full game itself. How do I damage control a Charisma based 'that guy'?

If you still wanna be stubborn beyond all that, add flaws to npcs to further muddy their efforts. Maybe they're assholes who won't take a deal unless it's EXTREMELY beneficial to them. Sure he can get it but it'll be at a loss. Maybe they're superstitious and will only trade for obscure shit that's annoying to get. Maybe they literally hate stranger and won't talk to him so his charisma is worthless.

It’s nothing regressive about it. The far left got more shit Successfully banned from table top games than religious fundamentalists ever did.

Post the fucked up shit Ed Greenwood has put in Forgotten Realms canon. A reliable source for the shit that is claimed to be in Ed Greenwood's contract (everything he says is canon, they must publish X material by him a year) when selling the setting to TSR would also be nice too.

More or less what >>423888 said. The primary advantages are that you can use it for just about anything. Whether that be fighting standard infantry, unseating cavalry, or hassling armored types.

It's a classic "jack of all trades" weapon. And, it doesn't really suffer too much in the lack of a specialization.

Gives you a massive heap of options in any given fight, with really the only weakness being that it's easy to catch on something. But, then, that's also an advantage if you have mates.

I like the two-handed jian, the Patton sabre, the Pattern 1796 light cavalry sabre, the Woodsman's Pal, and the kunai.

Knifewise, I like the Jim Hammond Flesheater, the Tom Brown Jr. Tracker, Joe Kious' Stormbringer subhilt, the Iron Mistress Bowie, the Mike Echanis Warrior knife, the smachet and the Massad Ayoob Spyderco folder.

I do full contact sword fighting with proper armor and normal humans (no edgelords, everyone is okay with taking a hit).

Its extreme fun, don't let anyone stop you. Just the feeling of finding your own sword (a real one, we use rockwell21 (yes, kinda soft, but since we all have around that strenght its alright) without sharp edges and we don't stab towards the eyeholes, everything else goes.

I train with many people, but even the guys that do various material arts and have years more of expierence lose to a spear.

Spear [untrained] > [2h Sword, trained, 1h Sword Trained, 1h+shield, 1h+kiteshield]

We do the 7 point system, you want 7 points to win, a 3rd person judges, hit on the head is worth 4 points, body 3, legs 2, arms 1 - if the enemy hits you back withhin the same sec, you even out. (hit chest vs counter-hit arm = 3-1 = 2 points)

The spear is easy to use, the range is GODLY and thats all you need. Honestly, you feel 3-5 cm (A inch) of lenght difference in sword fighting and you will always feel the fucking spear before you reach that motherfucker.

Personally, I'd avoid fighting a fucker with a spear, but when I have to I usually use a very silly combination - a kite shield and a parrying dagger (with many catching points) to establish a point of contact (you feel a lot of movements during the contact - they go hard, you go soft, they go soft, you go hard) - and once you feel the spear you can rush in and keep the contact.

Sadly rushing in is also when the injury risk is huge, cause 2 moving objects are more ouchy then 1 and my kneecap is usually one of them.

You’ve unlocked the door with the key of imagination. You’ve entered another dimension—a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. You’re about to journey through a wondrous land whose boundaries are those of imagination. You’ve just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.

What would you encounter there?

Want to see if we can come together to make a system for the inevitability that every rpg company becomes pozzed.

We can start by making it a generic system that could reasonably work for fantasy, sci-fi, or other genres. We will call it G.E.R.P.S (Generic, Eight-chan, Role, Playing, System.)

>Why not in homebrew thread

Good question. Figured it would be more appropriate as its own thread as this would be a collaborative project rather than someone posting their campaign or house-rules.

>Why not G.U.R.P.S?

Also a good question. Tell you what if we just end up making GURPS, I'll owe you a coke. I'm mainly interested in seeing what we can come up with.

First place I think we could start would be the dice-engine and stats.

And let's aim for minimum of paraphernalia, to play in a concentration camp.

A better idea: change the first word to "Homebrew" ;}

> 5d4 for otherwise-standard DnD char stats.

> The occasional 20? Fine! because the system really loves 12. Maybe more than it should...

(5+20)/2=? And what is numeracy?

>>425852

> we could have two sets of rules and either use one at a time or switch between them at the GM's digression. A set of simple, fast rules, like a basic set, then a more crunchy simulationist set for when things get complicated.

Yup, architecture-wise GURPS was designed perfectly.

But then, anything that lives to "more splatbooks!" stage is not far from this.
