Worthless Bumsgetting irrationally angry as i clean up my rpg session and i toss your d6s aside and hit a natural 12
where were you when i needed you, motherfucker?
imagine being some roman guards and then suddenly coming up against someone with a smart-chipped suppressed automatic pistol from like 2200 years in the future
i know i'm probably thinking about this backward, since gurps was modeled as a universal system after the "old school" rpgs, but all flesh must be eaten strikes me as a system with an actual workable and reasonable stat/char gen system
no doubt the argument is gurps could run afmbe
could it? probably. but afmbe can also run admbe and it's fairly robust in terms of homebrewing
i don't know the history of gurps vs unisystem, or if they share that much dna, but really unisystem seems perfectly suited to what people tell me gurps is supposed to do
i haven't played the cinematic unisystem yet, but from glancing at what people say about it, it feels like a more involved slasher flick style system
or, as i am probably coming at it chronologically backward again, slasher flick probably borrows from that or other rpgs it influenced xD
i don't think unisystem (at least classic) does any better at balancing builds with point buy than gurps does, tho
but at least i don't feel locked into one of two attributes for no fucking reason other than "everything is brains!"
1d10 is balls, but afmbe does say you can just do 2d6-2 and floor it at 1 which works pretty well
When your GF asks what happened at D&D 🤷♂️ #dnd #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonmaster
if i knew the laundry had occult shit in it i would prolly have started earlier
also they have an alphabetical skill list which i feel that SOME RPGS HAVE FORGOTTEN IS VERY FUCKING USEFUL
me: "why did i stop playing my first twilight 2000 campaign?"
me: *checks to see that operation reset still isn't out yet*
delta green: the conspiracy
the laundry: management turf wars
i do like the warrant card in the laundry, gives you a light touch to be like "IGNORE ME. IGNORE THE MESS I'VE MADE. GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS" without the men in black look in the flash deal xD
it does very much feel like delta green spirals you very quickly down the path of "and that's when i decided to torch the place"
in fairness, torching places is (my) personal go-to >.>
the laundry is also way more open to magic and enchantment and pcs doing occult things themselves, which is nice
dg is much more hamfisted in its: "oh that was a mistake"
part of it i think is the setting as well
if you play american delta green you are almost certainly armed with guns, and things can run out of control fast
in the laundry you're more or less in the uk/europe and even having a 50%> in firearms gets you an issued gun, but it's kept in the armory when you're off duty
how are you gonna spiral when you can't just shoot the guy causing you a paperwork nightmare? inconceivable
it's fun to mix in one (1) american tho
sometimes you need a release valve
i wonder if there are physical, electronic dice that can verbalize the roll results
i can't believe there aren't even good (read: satisfying, sfx, vibration, etc) dice roller apps on mobile
worlds without number is becoming like gurps where people just recommend it for any fucking thing
tbh all the without number games. cult ass following
"anthropomorphic fallout"
we call that mutant year zero
🎵vibranium fever has gone and got me down🎶
🎵vibranium fever it's spreadin' all around🎶
I feel like crossed isn't zombies tho
Also if they do this to one another... don't they just solve the problem
delta green slipcover for handler and agent books finally back in stock. yoink
Gfdi I picked the cheapest flat rate shipping but delta green is still coming by fedex
sometimes you spend all your time fighting a whole army
sometimes you spend all your time trying to bribe an official
revisiting the good alternate history: my delta green resident evil campaign
i had it in my head that my dnd 5e campaign was the first ttrpg i ever played
that's not actually true because time and memory are lies
it's actually my fallout 2d20 campaign that's almost 3 years old now? lol
i know, i know - i'm behind on dragonbane and forbidden lands
sue me xD
increasingly convinced a lot of refs literally gatekeep the hobby by running systems they don't want to like, badly, thus ruining the experience for new players so they can say "see! this game sucks!"
you: "if the zombo apombo happens right now i don't have enough ammo"
me: "if the zombo apombo happens right now i don't have enough pads of paper to play the rpgs i want"
obviously i need to lay in a stock of those good white erasers
Machine Lord Zero@worthlessbums If it happens right now, I hope they'll smell the smells I'm making and decide no amount of brains is worth whatever's happening in my internal organs
