What is the best rolling system and why.

d20 and add modifiers

3d6 and roll under

1d100 (2d10)

What about less common options, like where depending on what kind of success you roll for, you roll different dice?

4d6-4 master race. Bell curve, center at 10 and possibility of rolling 0

/tg/ is in dire straights.

They're choosing their new BO by die rolls. I don't think this place should close after the BO is picked, they're asking for trouble. That's like inviting /intl/ into their camp, taking off their armor and dropping their weapons, and inviting them to first watch while everyone slept!

Yu-Gi-Oh! thread

Well the /tg/ YuGiOh! thread died so i'll try remaking it here.

Basically theres a wierd thing going on where people in their mid to late 20's are getting mad into CTG's again and YGO semed the most popular on /tg/ before the thread was lost.

Board Game Designing Contest

As a board, collaborate to design a board game using your boards name as a key element.

Rules

Game must be playable for 2-4 players.

Game must be a race (Snakes and Ladders), non-linear adventure/collect-a-thon (Talisman, Arkham Horror) or wargame (Shogun).

Game must not be a dungeon crawl (Hero Quest), resource gatherer (Catan) or property buy/trade (Monopoly) as a primary focus, but may use elements of these kinds of

games. Card Games and Tabletop Games that use a board (Munchkin Quest, Tabletop RPG's with a mat) do not count as board games for the purpose of this contest.

Game must have at least one static game board.

Game must primarily feature the board name as a major element.

Game must have no more than 200 pieces (dice, tokens, cards all count).

All content for the game must be submitted into threads (idea development process, strawpoll results, tokens, rules pdf etc) and the threads should be archived for

varification so one person doesn't just submit something they already had available.

Game must be completed before 1st December.

Context (why)

Board owner Me continues to do nothing about the state of the board and there is clearly a lot mixed feelings on whether people should stay and fight any shitposting

with holding the line and 'getting shit done' or if people should move on to another board with dedicated moderation. There is a lot of distrust right now, so

what better way to settle it than by proving which /tg/ can get shit done. This challenge will be posted on /tg/, /snb/, /d20/, /grognard/ and any other boards that

rose up during the spam as a shelter. If I forgot your board and you want to be involved, post it.

Context (what)

This challenge is designed to work around limits. A board game must function within the limits of board space and packaging, where card games and tabletop RPG's might

not have such limits. A limit of 200 pieces has been put in place to prevent Arkham Horror style card piles and monster cups. Several common board game styles have

been restricted from being the main focus of the game due to the ease of which they will meet the following criteria, and pseudo-boardgames, where a board has little

significance or is easily replaced, are completely forbidden.

Six criteria have been chosen to evaluate the quality of each game designed; creativity, mechanics, playability, depth, theme/aesthetics and fun.

Judgement

More in depth criteria will follow with several suggestions for judgment, which are open for discussion.

Mature Campaigns that aren't Magical realms

Just opening up a serious discussion into running more mature campaigns, not the FATAL style, fetish insertion, or magical realms stuff whe bitch about, but somewhere above the generic non-commital saturday morning cartoon style games I find a lot of GMs tend to do.

To illustrate my point I've included Lorne Malvo from Fargo. Great Malefactor character, manipulative, evil and great villain. Or Ramsay Bolton from Game of Thrones, who engages in rape, torture and wholesale sadism. Or just Game of Thrones in general, with the incest, betrayal, politics etc.

My point is that despite wanting to do a campaign that is a little more mature I seem to be stuck between the PG high fantasy or /d/ on any given day is how do we do more mature campaigns without stuffing it up? What should be and shouldn't be acceptable for the GM when running them? and what ideas and characters would/have you worked in your games?

Tavern Tales

What is Tavern Tales

Tavern Tales is an incredibly rules light system that has a greater emphasis on roleplaying and creative license. The game encourages (and sometimes outright forces) you to work with the GM to make the world and story more interesting and involved.

The game does not use classes or races, but instead uses 'traits' and 'themes', which allow you to mix and match a diverse group of powers and reflavour them to suit your character.

Tavern Tales only uses four stats (Brawn, Finesse, Mind, Spirit) and uses a 3-d20 roll system for all checks, where you roll 3d20 and take the middle-most value as your result, thought sometimes modifiers make you take the higher or lower dice based on difficulty and traits.

Having played the game, its certainly a good introduction to tabletop gaming both as a GM (with advice and preparation) and for players not used to learning more comprehensive rulesets. Character creation for a new player can take about 30 minutes or longer, but once you know the system and have an idea in mind it takes only a few minutes.

An anon has been in touch with the creator and a pdf version is coming.

Here are examples of some of the traits in game to give an idea of how aspects of it play…

>Demolition Charge • Slow Action

>Describe how you create an item → Create a bomb and determine the trigger condition. When activated, it charges obviously and ominously for less than a minute (runes appear, a clock counts down, it glows red-hot, etc ) and then explodes, annihilating structures and brutally maiming creatures (or worse). Work with the GM to determine the explosion size.

>Lair • Slow Action

>Describe how you claim your lair → A piece of territory that you control becomes your lair. Gain creative license to slowly change the terrain and features of the lair (create web-strewn paths, clinging ice, pools of magma, etc). At any point, you can ask if someone is trespassing in your lair, and the GM must answer honestly.

>Light Feet

>When you fall, lower the severity from deadly to dangerous, or from dangerous to safe. Whenever you like, all solid objects and liquids are capable of supporting your weight.

>Unlife and Unlimb

>You can attach and reattach your body parts. You can control your detached body parts and sense the world through them (feel with a detached finger, see with a detached eyeball, crawl with a detached hand, etc). If you ever lose a body part, you can reattach a similar body part from another creature and it becomes part of your body (this never affects your attributes).

Have fun making broken combinations.

Getting started with /tg/

I've always been interested in this sort of stuff, but never really got around to actually try and play nor find anyone IRL to play with ;_;

What's a good place to start? What games/rulebooks are good for beginners?

R: 27 / I: 15 / P: 1

So if /tg/'s board-tan is a lich, does that make this place something like a phylactery?

This is an /intl/ front

This is their MO guys. They shit up your board, set up a shelter with one of their guys in charge, and then when the old board owner abdicates, they step in because they gave you shelter.

Hc Svnt Dracones - Furshit in Space

Considering the current state of /tg/ I felt I'd actually start contributing shit and make a thread. Just learned of this game in another chan and have been enjoying the fluff and mechanics so far.

Whats it about?

Humans played god and made animal people with freaky genetic super science, this made humans freak out and they had a big war. Before the first generation of these "vectors" were fully grown, the human race wiped itself out from war. So now Vectors live on Mars and a few other parts of the solar system with Corporations running whole spacestations/cities.

-Evil red crystal monsters takes over Earth and becomes the newest boogy man. Think the kind of fucked up shit you'd see in Eclipse Phase.

basically its like if Ironclaw and Eclipse Phase had a child.

There are no psychic powers, but you can get implants that mess with the reality of the world. Use them too much in combat and your power and every elses goes haywire.
