Babysitting 4-5 kids for $20/hour seems about right, if not a little low.

Anyone know anything about the games in the newest Bundle of Holding?quote:$8.95: Conceptually I like the idea behind a couple of these (On Her Majesty's Arcane Service sounds like a more occult version of Neil Stephenson's Baroque series and seems interesting), but have no idea if they're poo poo or not.

One other "great" thing about CthulhuTech was how it set up for like five different levels of play in the same book. You could have a street-level kung-fu hitman, a lady cultist who was poo poo at learning spells (because spell-learning in that game was idiotic), a guy that could shapeshift into a monster, some grunt in a basic mech, and an elite soldier driving in one of their not-Evangelions (no teenagers because that's unrealistic you pleb ). Each level would successively overpower all the other archetypes and render their roles redundant, but the game still allowed mixed parties for some reason. Plus, since all those different play levels fight for space in one corebook naturally most of them are neglected and unbalanced also the core rulebook posted:The Pronoun Game Oh and you can't mention Helical Nightmares posted:The other salient problem with CthulhuTech was that the adventure(s) written allowed no player agency at all. At least that is what I got from the F and F review. Here is a bunch of horrible and sick stuff you have to witness and you can do nothing about it. It was less of an adventure and more of a poorly written sick hentai fanfic. The Vosgian Beast posted:I liked that the servants of Shub Niggurath were literally sexy furries. Without including that one of the sample adventures in the book railroaded everyone into getting raped and impregnated by sexy furries you gave birth to Satan-Bambi (I double checked just women have to worry about giving birth to demonic woodland creatures) Nuns with Guns fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Aug 19, 2015 |

Don't forget that they're magically impossible to abort and will probably kill you if you have one, so it's save or die in nine months, your fault for playing a woman.

It was surprising they took time away from winning about piracy and how it's killing them. This wouldn't be that crazy if they weren't ridiculous about it and initially partnered with the Eclipse Phase people, who are the opposite and successful because they make a much better game. They also can't come to terms with the fact that maybe they just don't make a very good game.

In addition to having like five different games in the core book didn't CTech also mention that the mech combat was the way it was because they were working on a tabletop war game for it?

I figure this thread might be the best place to ask this. My friends and I used to play D&D 3e like 10 years ago during high school and college. We are looking to get back into RPGs, preferably a dungeon crawl of some kind with some good published adventures, because now with full time jobs and families it's a lot harder to find the time to prepare a custom adventure. Ideally it would also have decent balance between classes and engaging combat. What's the murderhobo simulator with the best combat? From what I've read, 5e seems to be a regression to the bad parts of 3e. 4e seems well regarded, but we're not unwilling to try a non-D&D game if there is a better one out there.

We have a system recommendation thread, but for fantasy murderhoboing I would recommend looking at Torchbearer or 13th Age, both of which are sort of cousins to D&D. Comedy option: Sine Nomine's Exemplars & Eidolons

Ojetor posted:What's the murderhobo simulator with the best combat? Depends on what you mean by best combat. If you're looking for complex tactics and stuff, 4e and Strike! are some of the best.

Yeah I'd definitely recommend 4e or Strike if you want good, grid-based gameplay. Most other systems I've played have notable imbalances between classes or abstract combat heavily.

Seconding the 13th Age recommendation. It's best described as "what fifth edition should have been."

Pouring over the old AD&D books has reacquainted me with the art of Jim Holloway, whom I never knew the name of but always loved his stuff. I love everything about this, the focus on the moment everything goes sideways, the amazing facial expressions, I love it all. This is the art in rule books that excited my imagination, not the serious heros and villians, but the poor fucks who just wanted to make a few gold coins, frozen in the moment where they realized that maybe being a dirt farmer isnt so bad.

If you want something modern then what the other's have said about 4th Edition is true(FantasyCraft is also worth looking into), if you want something old school however then I'd recommend one of the following; Basic Fantasy RPG, Adventurer Conqueror King System, or Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG

Jim Holloway is THE reason to get a copy of Paranoia 2e. His art is crazy evocative of the setting.

Not maybe the tone of the rulebooks, but how the game play usually turned out. The game is super lethal and trying to play RAW is going to result in pretty much what he pictures. Also have so many of his pieces feature the subjects heatedly arguing, I feel it must be slightly meta comment on playing these games. Also, really want a print of this for my home office:

NachtSieger posted:So my friend published an RPG on DriveThru and I was wondering what the stance was on advertising. Well, the forum as a whole will happily sell you a banner ad slot. If you meant just talking it up, that's fine too. Just be sure to disclose that you're here to tell us about your friend's game, as opposed to this completely new game which you happened across by accident on the internet. Also you'll want to make sure the things you say about it are true and well-supported. For example, if you were to mention that the RPG has an innovative approach to character creation, it would be a good idea to explain what those innovations are (and make sure they haven't been done by 50 other games already).
