New LGS were playing at has the new 40K RPG book imperium maledictum stacked up on a table. Is it worth picking up or should we pass on it?
 
LOL. Suddenly my old stupid fanfic about CalThaum (California Institute of Thaumaturgy) looks downright fucking great compared to that 'official' writeup. You had actual colleges and majors as opposed to houses and shit. Sheesh.

In regards to furries, I've never played one but my interpretation would be a lot closer to S. Andrew Swann's Nohar Rajasthan series than 'cutesy cat/dog person'.

Dieselpunk because one of my players wants a World War 2 setting, and offered to send me the PDF of some game called Dust 1947. It's setting is World War 2 didn't end in 1945 and they have mechs now. I know it as a minis wargame that went bankrupt years ago. Cool models, but I don't know anything about the rules. There was supposedly a RPG back in the day, but I don't know the rules.

And furries because two of my players are furries. One of them has already asked if he can play a furry character so I'm likely going to allow it.

from what I remember of the mini game, it's probably faster and easier to just take another alternate history setting, file the serials off and replace it with dust's nomenclature. the setting doesn't really do anything special that would warrant learning it's own rules, and you'd have to read up on the lore etc. anyway.

I've never had any issues with Dragonborn/Half-Dragons characters or players, they don't attract furfags.
Or I guess if do, they keep their furry shit deep in check to the point I didn't pick up on it.

scalies are just a subsection of furries. there's usually not that many of them and usually they keep it lowkey because most people are weirded out when you tell them you want to fuck (or get fucked by) a reptile.
otoh lusty argonian maid is a thing, and the website is called bad dragon, not bad mammal, so take that as you will.
 
I played the first session/session zero of the mech campaign and it was a bit of a mess tbh. Mainly due to players, and a little bit due to the system. But people claimed to have fun so I'm putting this one in the win column.

The major problem is I played on VTT. Tiny d6 is a very fast game with quick character creation. Literally just pilot name, a trait (basically feat) from a list of 8. Then for the mech 6 things from a list of about 30 or so. And these are simpler than 5e or PF2 feats and are usually 1 or 2 sentences. Somehow, character creation took over 4 hours. One guy got up to make and eat dinner without telling anyone, and another wouldn't stop playing Fallout (he missed the game), and all but one took ages to pick stuff. I shudder to think what it would be like if it was a real RPG like MechWarrior. We'd still be there now.

One guy played a furry, the rest wanted to play humans despite interest in playing furries prior to the game. So now it's basically World War 2 with one guy from Redwall.

The system did well, but the miss rate seemed to frustrate players. Turns go by in seconds or minutes at most, it's not like DnD where you're waiting 20-40 mins for a turn, so a miss isn't as big a deal. You're either spray and preying, or you're always taking the focus action for slow but reliable damage. I don't know if I should mess with it or leave it as is.

A related problem is people didn't play to their characters strengths. Imagine a bard that doesn't inspire, a barbarian that never rages, a paladin that doesn't smite, and a wizard that never casts. I had this in a previous Tiny d6 game and I don't why.

Correction, FAGGOTS are fine playing furry shit. That furry shit is 500% banned from my games.

I think that's the default. I've never had the issue I hear about on the internet in those totally real and not at all made up stories. You know the ones. Some furfag joins the game and shits it up by going OwO all the time.

The key problem here is people assume "fucking" and not "interested in".

Today I played a game in a system I've never played before with people I've never met before, half of whom did not speak English as their first language and we had to mass disconnect and reconnect from the voice chat like 3 or 4 times over the course of the game. And somehow I still had a more fun and rewarding experience than whatever the fuck happened to you.

From experience, I find all of those stories belieavable. Especially the extra loathsome ones.

How soon until 5E wheelchair adventurers retardation start reaching chaosium and PAIZO? Little surprised Warhammer and battletech isn’t shilling it yet.

Everyone is talking about the wheelchair and nobody is talking about how the player character self insert is the DEVIL. Jack Chick would find this very interesting.

Probably because Jack Chick is dumb and nobody cares what he thinks any more (assuming he's even alive).

I still can't get over how jank the damned idea of 'combat wheelchairs' are. It's like, you're in a world of magic. You could ride around on a floating disc, or animated golem legs, but you want to use a wheelchair? A wheelchair they had to deliberately overpower so it didn't get wrecked by the first enemy with more than two brain cells?

That was always the biggest cudgel I used in those arguments. The wheelchair by itself is dumb. But the stat loadout is fucking absurd. The one time someone in my group brought it up I started hammering them on the mechanics and told them I'd have more respect for them if they built a Timmy Power Gamer character build than if they used that. Wisely, they dropped the whole thing.

The tieflings are the perfect embodiment of the modern 5e fanbase that’d enjoy something like wheelchairs.

Speaking of planetouched I've always wondered how you guys would play an Aasimar, because fuck tieflings
 
I'm guessing that crip is supposed to be a thief. So. Not only is every body type equally valid, no one was like 'hey chief this is going to interfere mightily in daring break-ins and heists'?

Also for a little extra touch of retardation, that figure on the left seems to be using a kitchen knife.
 
Why the wheelchair tiefling? The fun way to do a crippled freak would be to play a shredded brawler, with gorilla-like arm proportions and tiny atrophied legs, walking everywhere on your knuckles like an ape-man.

Pozzo has similarly retarded wheelchair shit. Outside of this need to inject cripples into fantasy, I don't see the point of features like keeping your wheelchair when you polymorph.
Anybody that sees a squirrel with a wheelchair is not going to see a squirrel, they're going to see a wildshaped druid.
