In addition to GURPS and the indie games (Strike Witch, Grey Ranks, Shab-al-Hiri Roach:Overlord), there are a ton of WWII-but-with-horror games - not just Weird War II (for D20 and Savage Worlds) but Lovecraft efforts like Achtung! Cthulhu and World War Cthulhu. Oh, and don't forget Godlike for WWII-but-wirh-supers. For you weird collectors out there, there's an early 1980s effort at a WWII game from FASA titled Behind Enemy Lines, which got a pair of supplements (British Commandos and Guns of Navaronne). And the old wargaming company SPI won an early Origins Best RPG award for their not-really-an-RPG game Commando. FMguru fucked around with this message at 14:55 on Jan 10, 2017 |

While it's not WWII, for military-ish based games there's also MASHED, which is PbtA and takes place during the Korean War.

Evil Mastermind posted:Ooh, that's going to be a really good fit. Although it'll probably be a little more lighthearted than normal SotDL. Have you read Forbidden Rules yet? Endurance and Fortune Points can be used to turn SotDL into an awesome hybrid of D&D 4E and FFG Star Wars. Perfect fit for Freeport I think.

Well, I meant more in terms of tone (Freeport is more on the swashbuckly and pulpy adventure end of things) really.

Oh definitely. I just mean the rules are there to support a different tone like that of Freeport. With some hacking I think SotDL could be used to run most D&D settings.

I don't know where else to say this, but holy poo poo Godbound is really good. The FATAL and friends writeup of Shadow of the Demon Lord made me look at it over on DTRPG and while I was picking that book up I figured I'd get the free version of Godbound too because I remembered it getting some good reviews. I was pretty unimpressed with Stars without Number and Silent Legions, but Godbound just seems fantastic.

So is there an actual reason for this edit, or was it just a spur of the moment kind of thing Do note that I'm no fan of Trump, I'm just legitimately confused here

If a /pol/ prank can backfire and end in a coup against the president of US in its first month, 2017 is the year where Irony Poisoning will depopulate Earth

There is a one page WW2 rpg that is I believe pbta. Can't recall the name. The author also reflavored the rules to do Colonial Marines/Aliens. Both are free on the authors page.

Jeb Bush 2012 posted:It's not a /pol/ prank (that does not necessarily mean it's true) Apparently the channers were trying to take credit for it in some fashion. Though what little I saw on the subject suggested that those claims were post-facto, and most seemed as shocked as anyone. That said, I will find something horribly funny if a twitter storm about golden showers brings down the twitter president.

That would be this: Doodmons posted:The Regiment is a pretty solid WW2 RPG that fits onto 12 pages and neatly models volume of fire, battle stress and regimental-level bureaucratic fuckups. It's a lot of fun. Other than that, GURPS and Night Witches are the only two I'd recommend. Grey Ranks is definitely a WW2 RPG but you'd have to be made of pretty stern stuff to find that fun, imo.

You know, that kind of character concept might be something you wanna talk about before dropping it in the thread. If only so that people can back you down from that, what the gently caress.
