>What is Exalted?

An epic high-flying role-playing game about reborn god-heroes in a world that turned on them.

Start here: http://theonyxpath.com/category/worlds/exalted/

>That sounds cool, how can I get into it?

Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial: http://jyenicolson.net/exalted/. It'll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.

>Gosh that was fun. How do I find a group?

Roll20 and the Game Finder General here on /tg/. With the new edition, though, chances are more games will crop up.

That, and IIRC then the whole Green Sun Prince splatbook was by far the worst of 2nd edition - so a lot of work is being put into revamping them.

Just like now the abyssals dont just have default skill based charms - instead each deathlord has a host of charms they can teach the abyssals. It mixes things up.

now whether this will pay off in the long run - who knows - but the idea of devil-tiger stuff being moved to lower essence levels... that means that you dont have to hit essence 5 or 6 before you can break free from your yozi overlords, which will make games a lot easier to run

What is this? I want to do this, but what do you think it is?

Is this Fiery Solar Chakram comboed to Malfeas and Back?

Is this a personal re-skin of Blazing Solar Bolt?

Or was there a variant of Total Annihilation that invokes the power of the Unconquered Sun instead of Liger hiding under that Pornstash?

We're a month in to our Exalted Game, using second ed. GM has laid down the following house rules: No overdrive charms, Perfect Defense never has Combo-OK, Virtue Channels can be spent on second winds (roll number of dice equal to virtue; heal that many wounds; actions must correspond to Virtue rolled) Damage does not overflow past incap. (this is ruled to be a part of Exaltation. In effect once you fill in your incap box all further damage is discarded from that roll. It takes a very deliberate act to kill an Exalt.) and the group voted to keep 2.0 weapon stats instead of using the 2.5 lines.

So, within those houserules how would YOU build a Cruel Sun?

Honestly I think that the most fascinating faction with by far the most potential would be a small remenant of DAOT humanity that survived the age of strife completely intact and advanced even farther over the past 15,000 years that equal or surpass Necron levels of tech(Hell DOAT ships were already Necron tier with fucking time manipuating black hole cannons). There's so much you could do with this and it would change things massivly. Due to the fucking Celastrus Maledictum, Nids, Necrons and how fucked everything is it would force the Imperium to ally with them instead of the standard great crusade era policy of reuniting lost human civilizatons. You could have an incrediblly interesting relationship where the 2 powers would have to work together knowing that the Imperium is going to try to forcefully integrate the DOAT humans in the future if peace is ever achieved. You'd have the mechanicus absolutely flip their shit demanding their STC's and you could make things insanely interesting if you decided to have the DOAT still use men of iron that never rebelled. You'd have both factions spying and sabotaging each other while ostensibly being allies. You could also have their govenments, morals. and laws be complete opposites and have them complete without them murdering each other on the spot being they're both human.

How would the Eldar deal with there being Mon'Keigh more advanced than them. What would the Necrons do? How would Chaos try to sabotage the relationship and/or corrupt them. How the fuck would Bobby G handle the situation. How would the esslehiarchy and inquisition deal with there being a prosperous human civilization that doesn't worship or need the God Emperor. Would it create internal tensions in the Imperium that cause more problems for humanity than the new allies? How would the DOAT humans try to keep their tech out of Imperial hands? Would the Mechanicus even be tilling to use the tech?. I mean fuck the possibilities for interesting stories are endless.

Mean Green Mothers from Outer Space. The unholy offspring of what would happen if the Ork biology mixes with the Nids biology.

Grow from spores that fly through space, move from planet to planet to devour whole Eco systems, genetic memory and able to grow all kinds of biotechnology naturally.

The only reason they haven't taken over the universe, is because each plant is its own hive mind and they are gigantic lazy narcissists who only serve their own hedonism.

Want to see one side of the imperium being much more primaris and higher tech lined while the other side regresses even further. While the two sides are not exactly in open warfare against eachother, there is a disagreement and general break down of goverment between the two imperiums.

Outside of a split between imperium to create another faction? A dogs of war type codex. We could fit squat, hrud, corsairs and rogue traders all into one codex in a similar manner to how AoS handled gloomspite gitz.

Would also like to see the same for chaos, but with traitor guard, beastmen and heretek dark mechanicum. Maybe even some chaps squats following the lesser diety of hashut.

Persist would be much better for a Dark Souls setting than Undying, both because you get weaker after death and because it's a setting that's more about rot than growth, so it would be a -1/-1 setting, not a +1/+1 setting. Also because if you want to beat Dark Souls, the main thing you need is persistence.

So in a few nights I will be a GM fir the first time, ever. I'm actually quite nervous about fucking up.

The system is Delta Green. Fell in love with it ever since I played the first time. Couldnt find enough people to play regularly so I'm managing my own with a bunch of strangers on Roll20.

Any veterans have tips for a fresh GM? DG specifically? How do you keep tension, or know when/where to drop clues the players might need? I have prep notes that fill up 2 pages, but I still feel like it won't be enough and i'll stumble around for details.

This is extremely important. A good player and a good GM can often support everybody else, if they can play off each other well. Nothing is better than having competent players capable of roleplaying who understand the system and adhere to your metagame short of being one yourself.

That's more an argument for properly vetting characters before play, which is a pretty useful tip: never let people just make a character and turn up. Either be in the room when they make them (ideal) or give them a very thorough investigation before you run the game. If someone insists on an ability that would ruin your game, tell them that it won't fit and work with them on a replacement.

I play Arkham horror lcg. I find horror RPs are most fun when the tension level is high but there’s a good balance between the chaos of combat and the fear of what’s around the corner. A monster/trap in every room dungeon crawler doesn’t really work.

It's not that hard really. In my scenario the child was kidnapped as a baby and was being raised to be used as a human sacrifice. Of course the players didn't know this until they got the big reveal when they found the the scroll outlining the ritual.

Alys Grant (of course I changed a lot of NPC names) was a mid level member of a death cult and was afraid the other members would turn on her if they found out she lost the sacrifice. Most of the net running stuff I just dropped but did turn one of them into physical rooms guarded by summoned creatures.

What the PCs were told is that the kid was a war orphan and had been adopted out of compassion.

The biggest change to the module I made was that the whole surrogate mother part and simply had the mother and father looking for the child for the past decade after he'd been kidnapped. Then it was just a matter of rebuilding the combat encounters and tweaking the descriptions. I changed the dead dogs into a gang of hobgoblins.

I'm trying to start a rpg in a forum. I need some suggestions on good php forum software. It would need a working dice roller mod and if possible a medieval/fantasy/rpg theme for it as well. I cant use phpbb because there's no working dice roller on recent versions. I need recent versions because previously spammers broke the captcha and my domain host nearly booted me. MyBB, SMF and AEF don't appear to have dice roller mods for their latest versions. Any help is much appreciated. I just want a simple forum with dice roller that I can install easily in a cpanel environment

How would you design a system so that modern(ish) guns are

>lethal

>fast shooting

>makes manual operated firearms differ from semi-auto

>makes full power cartridge not the always answer

>handles location damage

>handles suppressive fire

>fast and fun

?

I was thinking

>each character has 3 actions per 6 second turn that can be used to do whatever

>manual firearms need to use one of those actions to operate the firearm if they don't have a specific bonus that negates it (call it "Mad Minute")

>each firearm has a "recoil" value that is added as an attack penalty for future attacks this turn

>it's not strictly "recoil" but all things that disrupt sight picture (so manually operated firearms have a high one) and various things can reduce the penalty and even make it negative (the ability to lead followup shots with something low recoil)

>if a firearm's minimum strength is not met, recoil value increases

As for lethality and location damage

>each character has a relatively low damage threshold and if they suffer damage above it they suffer wounds that decrease performance (ala Saga Edition)

>if a wound is generated a random roll determines where on the body it is, with a bias towards torso, and what kind of penalties are suffered (the default assumption is that a character aims at whatever is convenient in the firefight)

>double (ect.) the threshold inflicts multiple wounds

>aimed shots lets you trade a to-hit penalty for lowering the effective threshold of a target and lets you skip the random roll for determining which body part was damaged

>enough wounds to torso or head is instant death

For suppressive fire,Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

A lot of people have already made great posts on a lot of nuances but I think something that needs to be addressed in the OP is

>6 second turn

If I was designing a system that involved modern guns there's no way I'd use a six second turn. That's far too long a timescale. That's enough time to dump half a 30 round extended mag from an MP7.

make size matter a lot when shot.

a small caliber bullet will do more against a small creature VS a large creature. enough body mass in the way is presumably enough to nullify any certain size/speed of bullet

>You need to send them below -1×HP for an instant kill

B419 requires -5xHP for "die immediately".

-1x is just a HT check which a lot of mooks might pass, and even if they fail, MoF 1-2 is "dying but not dead" and B423 has this as just "Mortal Wounds" where they survive for 30 minutes before they make another HT check to see if they die. They can be stabilized by a medic, or might auto-stabilize on a crit success (but remain incapacitated).

If it's an "important NPC" the GM can also assign a "Dying Action" if you don't kill them in "the most sudden and thorough fashion" so they could fire off a last shot, pull a grenade, do a sacrificial dodge, etc.

Ops & Tactics is probably the most firearms-oriented TTRPG out there. You should probably have a look at that first, to see if it does everything you want.

Could be statted into a setting for Traveller, Alternity etc.

If you want a light-ish mechanics for the strategical and economical matters, there's some in Rogue Trader (SP, PF, colony stats in Stars of Inequity) and in Stars Without Numbers (faction mechanics in core, fleet budgets in Skyward Steel, trade and some economics in Suns of Gold).

I like how you think

...though I do personally like the lore of the game

That said, I'm sure it could be made into some kind of high-octane action game with RPG elements, perhaps where you build up weapons using mod cards or something - similar to how the video game does it.

As for my own 2 cents: Factorio. As a kind of worker placement and ressource management game, focusing on 4X'ing the shit out of some kind of randomly generated map, or at least a map with randomly distributed resource, obstacle and alien hive nodes.

You'd have to collect materials, build stuff, connect them with rail and transport belts, upgrade mining, refining and production tech, all that kind of stuff - all the while fending off attacking aliens and whatnot

could work great for a multiplayer game that way too. some players holding down the fort, while others scramble to produce enough materials and research enough tech to get the end.

It could work a bit like Eldritch Horror in that respect... the constant looming threat of alien swarms attacking your factory making the game a race against time to build defences, but not so much that you waste your resources on defences intead of getting to the goal

So I have an idea. Basically, the idea is a beer and pretzels game based off of Noita, where players collect wands, slot spells into them, and blow themselves and others up. The goal being to unlock the mystery of gold transmutation, without blasting your ass into the stratosphere.

Unfortunately, I'm not even sure where to get started, other than the idea of spells being cards and wands being long, narrow cards that spells can be placed on with "This spell also triggers the next spell" sort of things going on.

the map is a sandbox of elements, so, make lots of terrain to blow up and deform.

an explosion that removes walls and dirt removes a certain radius of material, and is subject to the material being blown up. paths can go in all 3D direction, including vertical levels.

ditto drilling through the wall with acid or building a digging wand

you dont even need to make new map, just edit and break existing battlemaps

News, information, and just general conversation on card games. There was a similar thread back in the bunker months ago and hasn't continued since it was left off so I figured let's get things back up to speed.

Yes.

>Are there Metallic x Chromatic dragon hybrids in general DnD canon?

There were few even Metallic×Metallic and Chromatic×Chromatic. And some of them were results of massive magic fuckups (e.g. Fall of Myth Drannor) or experiments rather than the usual way.

Most were given different habitats, and the few species that fit into one usually aggressively compete for it.

>Suggested Dragon character builds and feats.

Devour Everything (from 3rd party totally-not-scalie handbook).

Seriously, though, there was surprising amount of options.

I guess you could build one for speed + charge vs. aerial opponents (since there's no mid-air counter-charge options)?
