There are a lot of Blue Meanies so it would be hard to make them a single race:
Storm Bloopers
Butterfly Stompers
Apple Bonkers
Countdown Clowns
Snapping-Turtle Turks
Hidden-Persuader Men
Jack-the-Nippers
The Four-Headed Bulldog
The Dreadful Flying Glove

If you went for just straight mechanics:
Type: Abberation
Size: Medium
Speed: 30ft
+4 Con, –2 Int, –2 Cha, –2 Wis
Blue Meanies are hard to kill but crazy and act backwords.

As for any other trait it depends on the Blue Meanie. But most have Claws,

Had some pdf troubles earlier but I think I got it mostly resolved. Had a crash and lost most I was going to say so I'll abridge it.

Planning to scan rpg books that haven't had official pdfs available. These are the books I have and I think haven't had pdfs made yet. Will try to buy the missing rpg books that people suggest as soon as I have the cash for it.

Abyss, Afterwars, Age of Ruin, Attack of the Humans, Batman- Role-Playing Game, BESM Anime Card Game, Chi-chian Roleplaying Game, Demon City Shinjuku Resource Book, El-Hazard Resource Book, Evangelion-RPG- The Descent of ANGEL & The NERV White Paper (Jap), Ghost Dog Roleplaying Game, Gregory Horror Show Card Game, Guardians of Order Ultimate Fan Guide for Fushigi Yugi #1-3/ Hellsing #2/ Parallel Dual!/ Revolutionary Girl Utena- Black Rose Collection/ Serial Experiment Lain/ The Slayers #1-3, Hahlmabrea, Heaven & Earth 2nd Edition- Game Master & Player's Guide, Link West, Silver Age Sentinels/ Champions- Reality Storm, Tenchi in Tokyo, Tenchi Muyo! GM Screen & Adventure, Tenchi Muyo! Character Diary, Tenchi Universe, The Lost World: Jurassic Park- Roleplaying Game (not actual roleplaying but it does have an Ian Malcolm card), The World of Tank Girl, Webs Basic Gaming System 1st Edition, Web of Horrors & Web of Stars, and Wyrd is Bond.

As I said some time before, you get to pick two I do for free. The others you'll get once I get certain digital pdfs released in relation to its value and verified authenticity. You have until tomorrow at 6 AM my time to decide which two is done first.

Long overdue for pdf collectors, some pdfs out there have varying quality or issues that need to be addressed and hopefully fixed. To ensure everyone is aware or has the right versions, I'm planning a checklist that goes over all available pdfs in a series to make sure they are complete or list issues that need to be fixed. I'll fix them if I have the book but many will rely on you people out there that have the books themselves to help fix these issues.

First one on list is Zero Corebook by Archangel Entertainment. 19.9mb-
PDF doesn't include Steve Stone Artwork and all images are greyscale when some pages are in color. I do have the book so I'll scan the artwork but I don't plan to do the rest of it since the pdf is okay and I'd rather focus on other books to scan. I'll scan it if there is demand and I get the appropriate payment of a digital pdf.

So my character came to an untimely death. this i accept as my own fault. Though knowing my dm i expected more roleplaying and an opportunity to have said more but alas I died. to my dismay. So i rolled. Now he's hardcore no reroll and rolls go in order no moving. So i got lucky and rolled well but not into my comfort zone of classes. I love rogues,not big on spellcasters but i can if i have too. so i'd love some help. Also we are running undermountain and he's totally radomizing it. So thanks in advance. Also i start at level 5. just to help and only nono is no dragonborn.

had a dm that did this, the result?
an awful lot of character deaths. Want to be a rogue? you play a melee wizard- then roll again
have a catchphrase, make the death memorable.

Or... play to the opposite of your abilities for fun (and possibly to piss off a super strict DM). Be the kid whose parents trained him to be a cleric, but who always wanted to be a thief, so is really shitty at it.

Anonymous 18/09/03(Mon)15:25 No. 131404

did you roll those stats on 3d6 or something? take a race with a con bonus and go cleric or druid so you're not totally squishy. if you die with that character, no big. you're likely to roll better especially if you're using 4d6 drop lowest. If i had a player roll like you did, i'd let them just do point buy as phb instead. I see that as the baseline stats for encounter balance.

Hey all. I have been working on a Martial Arts system inspired by Xianxia and Shonen settings. I have hit a bit of a road block so I could use feedback on the mechanics of it.

The PDF can be found here (http://www.mediafire.com/file/4f4nrlt6t3w819f/1.51.pdf)

The basic idea is that PCs are martial artist mystics (Supernatural powers and superhuman capabilities) in Fantastic Asia. Mechanically it is point based character progression and an additive dice pool resolution. On top of that, there is tactical combat with a unique timing based initiative system as well as resource management for Physical and Spiritual energy.

Using the style of the DnD book makes it seem like it's a DnD homebrew. Consider changing.

Your fluff sections and mechanics sections keep swapping between each other. Separate the two.

When going over your core dice mechanic, you immediately go through a list of terms. This makes it harder for someone who isn't already familiar with the system to learn it, and turns them off from it. This might suggest that your core mechanic is too complicated.

Separate point, I think your core mechanic is too involved. Just rolling the dice shouldn't have so much going into it. Also, rolling twice for a single task, especially for one you do every turn in combat, was already bad design in DnD.

Your explanation of Backfire could be massively shortened.

Explode mentions Intensify but doesn't explain what that means. Seems like more unnecessary complication.

Using the subsection names as part of the sentence was weird when I first saw it but a neat stylistic choice.

Under Core Skills, it's not clear what the Strike Types are.

What game systems are best for horror? Anonymous 17/12/12(Tue)08:54 No. 131099 [Reply]

Hello, /tg/. I'm running a horror campaign for the DnD group I'm in, and I have the setting and plot all worked out (Underwater research base, mutated crew, etc.) The problem I've run into is what system to use.

Normally, I use FATE for campaigns I run, but that's not entirely appropriate for horror. I've used the old Afterschool Activities system and Call of Cthulhu in the past, but both were poorly-balanced for my purposes (In AA, the players seemed to always succeed, in CoC, they seemed to always fail).
My question is, what system would be best for general horror purposes in the modern-day? Preferably a simple system, since I don't plan to do too much combat.

I use GUMSHOE and it's pretty good, and might answer some of your problems. The way modifiers work is instead of having a static modifier to a skill (we'll say shooting for example) you have a pool for each skill, and the player determines when they want to use each point.

Advice on traveler Anonymous 18/03/21(Wed)10:23 No. 131219 [Reply]

File 152162418278.jpg - (16.81KB , 232x346 , Traveller-rpg.jpg )

Me and my playgroup are interested in trying out traveler, however we are also rather new to the system and know very little about it. I know the publishing history and looked into it, and I know that midway through the life cycle of "the new era" GDW went under so it is less complete then either classic or mega traveler; as well, from what I understand, if you wish to use the default setting in classic traveler you have to read a lot of the supplements and JTAS articles given that a lot of it was made ad-hoc while other editions are betting about letting you play in the setting out of the box. Beyond this I don't really know that much.

I would like to know a few things before I decide which edition we use:

1) Is there any edition I absolute must avoid like the plague

2) How difficult is classic for players not used to classic RPGs

3) How different is each GDW edition from each other in terms of mechanics

4)How is the mongoose publishing version

5)How is the far future enterprise version

6)Are some editions better for space combat and are some better for more conventional combat

So yes, if your group can only deal with d&d, then you could try the Traveller 20 (T20) version which I hear is quite popular. It's based on d20 Modern and has a number of supplements for it. I've never played it as I loathe d20, but I have heard good things.

Personally, I'm a Classic, Mongose, GURPS and HERO version player myself. ;-)

Askin for suggestion: the simplest medieval fantasy rpg system for childre Anonymous 17/04/11(Tue)01:37 No. 120704 [Reply]

As per title.
I wanted to introduce a group of 6 to 8 yo kids to classic medieval fantasy rpg, but I need a system that is very, very rule-light.
Pathfinder Beginner Box is already far over the top, I'd like something that gives them a minimum of customization and just requires them to add simple bonuses to their rolls.
Any suggestion?
And of course, if anyone knows of any system that is not only rule-light, but specifically designed for children, that would be even better.

Original peculiar system, focused on story rather than XPs, looks pretty cute and is made mainly for children. Never played it, but looks like it could fit OP's needs.
