Splicer posted:There's two reasons. Yeah, exactly this. I made Strike! initially as a 4e retroclone for a thread contest here, and as the threads got pulled it all got unraveled and needed to be knitted back together again. Things in 4e are built on each other (which is good design!), and that means that when you remove some stuff the other parts don't work properly and need to be rebuilt. Which is, from experience, a heck of a lot of work!

Do we have a GO thread? Traditional Chinese game with various rules, according to various countries. It's insanely deep and simple and awesome and in South Korea they start children as young as 3 in GO camps so they can become world champs. I'm 31 and just started playing and am playing with my 5 year old whom is just now starting to show his strategic side, which is insanely cool. However, we drat near filled a (rather large sized board), and have a conundrum. Who won? Also, check out Netflix theres a cool doc on the game of GO. Here's a photo. My theory is that we have missed a few key moves, and possibly made a few suicides, which are illegal, and just didn't catch or notice them somehow.

SunAndSpring posted:Really wish it wasn't, since I've never much liked PBTA. It seems endemic to the whole system that the GM is more of a janitor that occasionally cleans up around the edges of the plot, and the playbooks (true to their namesake) exist to do repetitions of already existing things. The whole XP system always seem to be based around hitting stock plot points associated with the archetype you've entered, and it gets really ridiculous when you get into the stuff far closer to the media that inspired it. At least in Spire, the archetypes are fairly fresh and exciting; stuff like Masks really wants you to do an episode of Teen Titans and Monsterhearts puts every fiber of its being into emulating fantasy paperbacks that people buy at airports right before their trip. Coupling that with the fan base having the same problem GURPS people do where they consider it the panacea to all RPG problems and it really makes for a really irritating atmosphere here where if you ask for any recommendations, someone is immediately going to put forth some sort of dime-a-dozen PBTA hack that roughly matches the genre of what you're asking for, and I'd rather just play a system that lets me do my own thing instead of being the 1000th iteration of "The Lawbringer" and gaining my precious experience points by going, "Oh, and one more thing," before I leave a scene because the developer saw that in a show once and loved it. Sincere and not douchey question : what PbtA games have you played? This doesn't sound like any of the ones I've played. Also, yeah, it's a machine based on emulating (certain) genres. It's good at that? I'm not following. It's very different from some universalist system because of the whole intent of it. Certainly there are some pretty crap implementations of it, but I'm not following this as a criticism so I'd love some elaboration. interwhat posted:Do we have a GO thread?

Another problem with cloning 4e is you specifically don't want to copy the expression of a mechanic- i.e. you can copy mechanics* but not the actual rules text- but 4e's written in a very clear concise style and sometimes it feels like the only way to avoid duplication is to not be clear. *As far as current rulings seem to indicate, etc. Of course Wizards could sue for anything if they felt like it, but I am getting the impression that Hasbro sees D&D as being more about the IP- beholders, mind flayers, The Tomb of Horrors, etc.- than any particular rules.

I saw a trad game goon's Twitter post recently and I would like to clarify sone things for them especially since it will matter to most independent creators. My explanation is too long for Twitter but I know that there be reading this thread eventually. Self-employment tax has been around since 1951. It is payroll taxes i.e. social security and medicare tax. Normally, when you work for someone, they take half of payroll tax out of your paycheck and they match it every quarter when filing their 941. When you have no employer, you pay both halves and this is called "self-employment tax." It is taxed on your net profits of your schedule C, which is where you record a unincorporated or disregarded business entity. It has remained at 15.3% for over thirty years, though it was temporarily reduced for two years in the early '10s. There is a cap on it called FICA Cap. In 2019, FICA cap was $132,900. This means anything over that is not subject to social security tax. Medicare tax is unlimited and you actually pay additional medicare tax once your taxable income exceeds $250,000. If you are going to work for yourself, you should know once you make $600, you are subject to self-employment tax. There are ways to legally minimize the tax through entity planning but it comes with added administrative costs and legal requirements. This is why I usually tell people not to consider those until their profit is at least $60,000 as the added admin costs outweigh the tax savings. You should try to be proactive in regards to it as it is taxed on top of your ordinary income after all adjustments, deductions, and non-refundable credits. Estimated payments, for example, is one method. This is why I suggest getting a good accountant who is an expert on businesses and willing to hold your hand. Even a simple June meeting to discuss projected income and expenses and their related taxes can make life easier and, for example, I usually do such consultations for free. On the subject, I find it weird that the trad goon was told that self-employment tax was invented by recently. What's more likely is that the trad goons profits were smaller in prior years and thus they received an earned income credit. The earned income credit is a refundable tax credit essentially created to help low income taxpayers and to encourage them to work by making it so they don't pay tax based on their income and number of dependents. As it is refundable, that means it adds to your refund even when taxes are zero and goes against self-employment tax. This also means that it is additional money that the government is giving you. Usually, your tax refund is just a deferment of your own wages. Refundable credits is the government giving you money. With the EIC, the trad goon likely owed less and may have even received a refund in some years. Without kids, a $34,000 profit would not allow for a EIC. It sounds like the accountant took some expenses but they still ultimately ended up owed quite a sum. Why the accountant would tell the trad goon a lie about the nature of the tax is odd. Perhaps the accountant didn't know? Perhaps the accountant knew but was afraid of getting trad goon mad? It all just seems a little weird. I usually go through things line by line with my clients and explain everything before they sign for it. I also find it odd that they just gave them that figure in the call. Perhaps there was some discussion, but I usually chat with them a bit to see if there were expenses they could take that they were unaware of. Though, to be fair, such discussions could have occurred and the trad goon could have misunderstood, I suppose. Still, seems odd. I say all this for two reasons: I believe understanding can help one better prepare and rationalize things and because I think its important to know so you can better speak with your experts. Oh, also Because I know the person post here and I'm hoping that I can help them out a little bit. Source: I am a tax accountant who used to work for one of the biggest accounting firms in the world and specalizes in business taxation and tax planning.

It's not a good thing that there is rules and crunch space, somewhere, for building a character with a pet that's stronger than them, or throwing the entire planet at someone, or enforcing utmost love and respect because of how high you just jumped, but 3.5 provides rules text for those out of its incoherent nature, and some people want rules text to prompt them or assure them that their bold narrative moves are valid within the system, either because they're not confident in writing, or because they've been conditioned to expect the table taking an inquisitorial attitude towards characters being cool. It's a cultural problem from a different angle, is the thing. They're smart enough to know better, which means they're smart enough to have picked up on patterns that they've seen and follow them.

See how the white pieces on the top left and top right don't have any liberties? Those white pieces are captured. Same with the black pieces on the left. In general you don't fill sections of a Go board, because you earn points by having territory surrounded without having pieces on it. Were that a legal layout (it ain't, something should be captured) then black would have 32 points and white would have 0, plus whatever points they earned from capturing other pieces. Go rules, but you should deffo start at 9x9 or 13x13.

You've got a couple of dead groups; the big black group on the left, and the white group in the top left corner for example. They aren't connected to a group with an open space along a line between points. See the example here under Strings. I'll second the recommendation to play several games at 9x9 or 11x11 to get the feel for the rules. 19x19 is amazingly difficult to get your head around, especially in the opening. get comfy at 13x13 and then make the big jump. Go rules. Play Go.

Xiahou Dun posted:Sincere and not douchey question : what PbtA games have you played? This doesn't sound like any of the ones I've played. I've played Blades and Spire, and have read a few of the others. I don't like the genre emulation so much because it's very rote and feels like I'm painting by the numbers. It was especially prevalent in Masks when I read it, since it's just so glaringly obvious where each playbook is cribbing from that it becomes boring. There's so little room to make a playbook your own, and I just find that baffling to do in a story game. You figure you'd want something more classless and less "I AM THE BURGER FLIPPER, I HAVE THE MOVE "GRILL THE HAMBURGER" BY DEFAULT AND MAY GAIN ONE OF FIVE TOTAL MOVES WHEN I HIT MY EXPERIENCE LIMIT". Also they all seem way too loving risk-free, which is just dull. Blades and Spire both had the problem for me running it where nothing I could do mattered because the nature of the game necessitated teamwork and when everyone does the logical thing and specs towards the area their playbook wants them to excel in, no amount of fiddling with the consequence level or whatever mattered. They'd always wind up rolling 5-6 on their handful of dice and thus do everything with little-to-no consequences for it, which negates the whole promise of the system in that sometimes the characters have to take a blow themselves in order to deal a blow to their foes. The goofy FFG Star Wars game with the funny dice does this better since at least there's always a chance of the bad luck symbols popping up on a roll and outnumbering your good luck symbols on the dice so that something exciting like a weapon jamming after a great shot or an alarm being tripped after popping open a safe; once you start tossing 4+ dice at a problem in a PBTA game, the situation is solved already, especially in the mainline ones where the GM doesn't determine the level of effect that a particular action has.

My last Blades game was loving brutal on the PCs. The final session started with two PCs on 3 trauma, one on 2 trauma, and one former PC as a hungry ghost just barely animating a malfunctioning clockwork spider. It ended with one PC dead, one who lost everything and gave up, one who grabbed power right before the city got destroyed, and the reveal that when you die you're really gone and the ghost is just an echo of your rage and pain. I can see that if you had players making rational game decisions and sticking to the plan it'd probably play out differently, but this group leaned into the vice/trauma stuff real hard and nobody was really playing optimally as a group. So while we were competent as individuals, we were really playing a group of loosely connected villains who's goals happened to coincide rather than an elite cohesive team. And that drove drama and bad decisions, like "gently caress it, I'm killing this guy" (or not killing this guy) regardless of what the agreed-upon plan may have been. I mean, we "won" a lot, I guess? We supplied drugs, owned clubs, took over the district, and lived very large for a year or two. I guess even if we'd for-real won the game and it'd ended without the apocalypse (or the death and re-death of my character), my feelings about the ending would have been "but did we really win?" because I'm not sure the characters we were playing for the endgame were even capable of being happy any more.

That said, I'll say what I always say when this topic comes up: if you want that, you should be playing Mage: The Awakening, not D&D.

Similarly, speccing your character out to be super-dope at your one thing is OK, but you can't even push a skill to a base of 4 dice until you make the (significant and painful) advance to give your entire gang the "Mastery" advance. Even then, group actions are a huge stress-faucet for the guy with the pro skill (yeah, you can Prowl like nobody's business, but what about your chucklehead Leech friend whose put all his points in Tinker and Wreck? All he's gonna do is add stress to you every time you have to sneak anywhere). And if you widen your skill points out, sure, it means you're better at resisting consequences but it has the flip-side of meaning you overindulge your vices like a mofo - or you don't indulge at all in order to keep that from happening, in which case you're carrying around a ton of stress and don't want to push yourself/resist because you're afraid you're going to trauma out. But if you just take the dice mechanics as written and don't understand the underlying principles upon which the game operates, yes, you will think it is dull and not challenging. This is why I keep telling people who want to run these games to get and actually read Apocalypse World. "I've been running RPGs for years, I know what I'm doing" is not sufficient.

You'll excavate dangerous derelict spacecraft, explore strange unknown worlds, exterminate hostile alien life, and examine the horrors that encroach upon your every move. Choose from one of four classes: Teamsters, Scientists, Androids and Marines. Mothership is also in Alpha and found here: http://www.tuesdayknightgames.com/mothership Alien and Mothership draw from the same sources, so I asked Roleplaying Public Radio's Ross Payton what he though since he has GMed both gaming systems.

I like the supplements for Mothership a lot, but i would run them with Alien RPG rules. ... Mothership supplements are better for a longer term game. For a more in depth analysis, Ross and the RPPR crew discuss the pros and cons of the systems here: http://slangdesign.com/rppr/2019/12/podcast-episode/rppr-episode-173-alien-rpg-breakdown/ I'll opine about Mutant Year Zero (the Core book) a bit later.

I would turn to Apocalypse World first for my post-apoc adventures, then Gamma World, and then M:YZ. It's the crunchiest of the systems I've listed, and sometimes you want a good crunchy game. It's less complex than a Fragged game, for instance, though by that same token not as tactically robust if you're in it for the gameplay of the Mutant PC game. The biggest complaint I have about any of the Mutant series is that GenLab Alpha seemed weirdly biotruthy for a game about playing a bunch of freakish mutants. Not in a weird regressive way, just a lot of "if your character is X kind of hosed up animal, they will do Y."

Alien looks like an easy sell to me, but I don't know if it's any fun. Things from the Flood also stood out, I've heard good stuff (I think) about Mutant Year Zero, but wouldn't know where to start. Failing a quick rundown, any reviews that you find accurate are also appreciated. Symbaroum is pretty neat Helical Nightmares posted:Thank you for doing the needful. Personally I think the Mothership rules are great, but a little light in parts, but since it's basically an OSR game that just means one can shore up some of the more incomplete parts with those from another game

I figure you try to unclog your toilet with an old copy of the Red Box.

Yeah, as near as I can figure any system which involves rolling one or more dice is "OSR" to drrockso. I don't even know what he means by the term anymore.

 Blogging, for my D&D-inspired clone (The Next Project) continues!Final post for the month of March is now live  One of the big changes I'm looking to implement is a huge, foundational shift in the mechanics of class dice -- in short, giving most of the classes 2 dice to use, instead of just 1. It's a fairly long post (to help you pass the time, in quarantine) and while I've settled on a particular loadout for now, it may yet see some tweaking, once design and development gets rolling again in earnest -- so it's still a really good time to get in your feedback and suggestions. As always, all somethingawful forum goons are welcome to join the TNP Discord server; I try to give a little bit of a heads-up about future posts (early access, ish) to the Discord goons, as well as it being the place I generally go to when looking for suggestions on design stuff, or what to blog about next. Thanks!

Sure wish more people would recruit for games during this crisis, I'm so bored.

Hell, if I had time I'd run Vampire Dark Ages or Wraith game. However I'm up to my eyeballs in code.
