What do people use (besides minecraft) to design ships in games?
Campaign Cartographer has Cosmographer
which can be used by those who know how - but how many own it - through either purchase or having it "fall off the back of the tubes" ?
I'm guessing the next two suggestions are sketchup or MS Paint.

>>10342
I have used (and don't laugh) a copy of "My Sweet Home" it is not great for curved / angled features but gives you a 3d image with skin-able objects. I know it is not perfect and I just started out - It's not CAD but it works -sort of.

Op here. I ended up finding some really high quality discworld maps online.
For every thing else I end up using Fractal mapper to give the basic shape of a place then draw the rest in in photo ship. It's a bit of work but achieves the desired effect.

This is my favourite tool for making land maps. Always does islands, but they are very very well-made islands.

But this one is quite fun (sorta).
The group decided to rest out in a underground graveyard of a abandoned dwarven fastness.
Deciding to sleep in shifts, I had them make perception checks and such to see if they noticed anything. I rolled a shitton behind the screen, just to fuck with their metagaming minds (do this a lot recently), until I roll one of the special numbers of 60/70/80/90. I got a 90, time to JUST AS PLANNED them.
I have a magic mouth, planted by the BBEG necromonster in the center of the room, start to speak to them in the most obnoxiously effeminate, flaming gay voice I can muster after 22 hours of no sleep. I must have done a good job as the group replies to the goading with groans, ooc jokes and general aggravation at the idea of being found out.
>stop letting Thin Man escape and maybe you could have moved unheard of
The sorc does a detect magic, and finds it on the floor, the ranger points it out (damn sky high perception) offhand. The warden walks over, asks for a description of the mouth, I tell him it's a big mouth, big teeth, with no lips, think Cheshire Cat. He (predictably) smashes it with his hammer, and eats a trap, blinding, glittering powder spews from the broken teeth.
>glitterdust was always one of my favorite spells
I tell him he is blinded, save doesn't end, and tell the rest of the group he sparkles in the light, setting off a new round of Twilight references, disparaging homosexual slurs and so forth. The sorc does a detect magic on the powder, and is surprised when he is told it is NOT magic (I decided to not make this so simple, use your skills people). The sorc chats with warlord, deciding to simply wash it out of his eyes. The warden then feels a

Holy shit, this thread is still here?
Well, since it's here, and so have I, I will pace out the end of this particular story.
The group breaks out, having had a decent rest, and sallied forth along the trail already blazed to trails untested.
The warlord asks for a moment to say a few solitary prayers to the dead, as the paladin did not, and leaves back to the crypt, his torch bobbing into the darkness.
>the warlord's player had to leave due to drama within the group, apparently he hit on the one player's girl who was also playing
Returning to the crossroads, they took the turn they demurred on prior, traveling down a long, worked stone hall with many turns and twists, eventually coming to an odd length of hall studded with disembodied arms and legs.
>you know where this is going

>>10237
One of my characters was in a hall similar to that one once. I just started hacking the limbs off with my greataxe until some skeleton archers showed up at the other end.

>>10237
Dunno if you still check this, but I'm actually interested in the exciting conclusion. The whole thing was a fun read.

For the love of God, MOAR. This is like if you took Old Man Henderson and made him a dumbass instead of a badass. And then made four more.

Seriously, this is hilarious.

What's your budget? I know where you can get a full set like that image, but only if you are willing to drop a couple grand on the whole project.

what country are you in? or what larp? Check the website and see the photos to see what kind of gear is commonly used.

Anybody?

Playing different character types means you always need to keep the character in mind rather than making a hasty decision (which, based on your gut/intuition, will be your own decision, not nesciscarily your character's.)

You may try shooting for a second-in-command for instance, a position where you can use your own drive for authority to prop up someone else as the leader.

As for complainers, if he's really a problem you'd likely need to agree to handle him as a group, not an individual.

I really do try and keep the character's motives and ideas as the drive for the story but like I said, it isn't my fault that my characters get pushed into a leadership position. It usually ends up that way because either the team gets separated, the original leader dies, or the rest of the team becomes grievously wounded.

Backstory- Zehrahlixia was the daughter of a beggar, who was exiled from House Kaliaxix as part of a scandal. While the beggar now is no more than yet another ghost in the town's tomb, Zehrahlixia was not content to live on the pity offers and wait until she joined her father, and spent more time out in the wilderness, slowly and painfully learning how to survive out there. In time, she eventually honed her skills enough to become an outsider-in-waiting, to the house that she actually hails from, despite not being aware of it.

ok, because of both schedule conflicts and because I can't connect to IRC for some myterious reason, I probably won't make it to tonight's tombdog meeting. Sorry!

Hi everyone. Admin here again. I'm posting just to let those of you interested know that the server, including the plugins and approach, but not the thematics and overall concepts are currently being overhauled. The past few months have been very useful for us as far as what works, what doesn't and a l
ook at further plugins to provide further support and fun. We expect these to be implemented at latest by the end of january, along with detailed explainations of form and function on the forum. I look forward to seeing you online.

Hi everyone, Admin again. Like I said in my last post (an ice age ago) the server has updated significantly in the time between, including having a new host.

Our new IP is 142.4.61.43

Feel free to join, but be aware that you can't yet assign yourself a race without the help of a moderator (We're working on it). So if one isn't online, try again during our peak hours of between 5pm +0Gmt and 5am +0Gmt. We're a friendly group and try to make certain that everyone involved has a fair run at RP, all we ask is that you respect the setting and each other.

Our wiki is provided here: http://dwarf-fortress-role-play-classic.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

Look forward to seeing new players!

NEW new ip is 199.187.123.123:25614 by the way

These guys are utter faggots. I got banned permanently because some guy lied and said that I was flying. I skyped an admin and he told me that I would have to convince my accusers to agree to have me unbanned.

WHAT.

Would not recommend.

Paranoia is not really a beginner's game. Fun certainly, and you don't have to invent your setting, but gameplay is intentionally very different from your standard RPG.

Darwin's World I don't know. sorry. Apparently it is supposed to be D&D postapoc?

Dark Heresy is one of three RPGs in the Warhammer 40k universe which differ largely in character power level. Presumably the other two would also be okay if you are familiar with that setting.

Eclipse Phase is post-singularity, where much of the population does not have bodies, and many that do are no longer human. Evil AI controlled by aliens broke Earth, so we live in the rest of the solar system.

If you don't know what Fallout is, you just haven't been paying attention.

Traveler is often jokingly refereed to as the game where you can die during character creation. There are lots of charts. It is built for high space travel adventure, but you can turn it into anything else just by staying on a certain planet.

I am also shocked that Shadowrun has not been mentioned. It is the quintessential cyberpunk game. Evil corporations, cybernetic enhancements, magic, and computer hackers.

Space Gothic was also a very Fun Game, with not too many rules and a nice low-sci-fi setting

I had a reply here recommending Apocalypse World, but then I realized this was a necro of a 1-year-old thread. Damnit, stop necroing!

>Paranoia is not really a beginner's game. Fun certainly, and you don't have to invent your setting, but gameplay is intentionally very different from your standard RPG.
That's one of the ways it works well as a beginner game. No pre-conceived notions to dispel. You can also feasibly play it with very minimal dice rolling (the GM disregarding any rolls and choosing what sounds coolest is one of the core gameplay mechanics).

>>10265
This thread's over a year old, you know. The original poster's long since started a game or several with their friends already.

Damn necroposts.

I've updated Rake, https://sites.google.com/site/d20reborn/heroes-of-legend/archetypes/rake to have some neat mobility-based abilities; I'll be filling out his Infliction tree this afternoon.

I've also got Warrior updated and almost ready for level 4-5 play, but I'll post that on the site when I have more time.

I don't think there is currently enough here for me to intelligently comment on. You should probably finish filling out the rules. An example of play would be nice.

If you need, I can probably playtest it for you.

When a system is built from scratch, there is usually an idea of what kind of games this systems is suited for, since this determines char gen, resolution mechanics and whatnot.

Have you given this any thought?

well what do you expect this place is so slow anyway

This thread is adorable. Also holy shit is it old, and it was pretty high on page 2. Do things really move this slow here?

The tg board of tgchan is the slowest board permitted by law. Most of the posts aren't even content, just items useful to a handful of people participating in some IRC rpg or another.

I dunno you should see what is left of the /x/ sanctuary, I'm not sure if it is slow or actually dead at this stage.

Oh hey, L5R! I assume you're talking more about the CCG than the RPG (which is also good). Anyway, I'm a few years out of the loop and never really got into the tourney scene so consider me a sketchy source here. That said though...

It's a really solid game. I'd say second only to Magic as far as CCGs go, and to my knowledge, any card ever printed is still totally fair game. New sets don't reinvent the wheel mechanically, they just progress things plot wise.

As in, every year they have a big ol' tournament, with the developers watching how the last few games play out. If Clan X comes out on top, the fluff of the next set says their leader is the new emperor. If there's a big duel between two characters, one kills the other. If someone wins by mixing some naga cards into his deck? That clan allies with the naga. Stuff like that.

This leads to multiple versions of the same character, but you're free to use any or all. You can promote a character to a version of that character from a later set as an alternate method of getting them into play.

Past that, there are, if I recall, 3 ways to win- There's actual cards of the 5 rings you can get out, but doing so is a royal pain, so that almost never happens. There's successfully attacking all 4 of your opponents Holding cards (kind of a combination of life points/secondary hand containing all your land-equivalent cards, to really stretch a metaphor), and there's getting up to 40 honor points, which, in my experience, is the most common victory method, since a lot of things rack armor up, particularly winning a fight.

Attacks are big productions that don't get made until pretty late in the game generally. There's a ton of buildup until someone feels confident that they can win and makes a major attack, and then you spend a good 5 minutes or so activating special abilities, playing cards, challengin

Is the ban message any good? I could use a laugh.

It's less that you're venting and more that you don't know what to do and you are seeking opinions on the matter.

Opinion 1: Stop making excuses and kick him from the group if he doesn't fit in. He doesn't fit in. Kick him from the group.

Opinion 2: Stop making excuses and just talk to the guy about the stuff you're having trouble with. If he doesn't improve, follow Opinion 1.

Talk it out, tell him he's not contributing enough to the group. You don't wanna kick him but you really want him to participate in this you're working very hard to make happen

I dunno if I can help, since my entire gaming group is made out of 'That Guys,' (me included, probably) but I will offer my ideas regardless.

I certainly do not think you should kick him from the group. I also realise this is like, two weeks old now, and you may have very well already taken action against that guy.

To me, he sounds like he is stricken by trepidation, and not by an unwillingness or inability to cooperate with you and the other players. He may feel inadequate around the rest of you, given your more impressive occupations, and apparent social aptitude (which this fellow strikes me as devoid of). To me, his small claims of 'LOLRANDUMB' attitude seem more like a way to appear more, I don't know, well-adjusted, or whatever. I don't know.

I don't know how you guys are with him at the table, but I can suggest perhaps you should consider being a little more lenient with him, to a point, of course. Possibly even positively reinforcing good, and active role-playing with small, in-game rewards. You know, a little extra gold or something.

If you are concerned with his unwillingness to speak in-character, then perhaps I can suggest including some dialogue, or actual specific questions, aimed at his character.

As for not showing up, well, that's how it goes, I guess.

First puzzle! Is tgchan up to the challenge?

I resent being only called 'semi-intelligent'. You didn't even spell intelligent correctly!

The difficult ones have purposeful spelling errors and grammatical mistakes, but the target is the picture below it. I would guess you already got that one

I'm not sure you understand cryptograms. Longer ones are not more difficult. Also there is no way to solve your first puzzle without extra information. I *had* to half-solve your original picture in order to solve your 'first' puzzle (and at that point there wasn't any reason not to finish solving the original picture)

That said I did like what you did with th, that threw me off for a decent while
