How do I get my friends' cat to not be such a loving rear end in a top hat all the goddamn time. It keeps trying to bite or claw at my things, while leaving everyone else's stuff alone. And hisses at me when I try to put my stuff out of its reach. So far my friends have settled for just scaring him away with a little spray bottle, but I need a more final solution.

Spray bottle of vinegar mixed with water. You don't even have to spray it directly at the cat; the smell will be enough to keep him away.

I love dogs but I was briefly dating this girl with a pug and holy poo poo pugs are not cute. Not at all. They are disgusting and smell and wheeze constantly. It was like a sweaty danny devito kept trying to worm its way into bed. I can attest that both Border Collies and Boston Terriers are chill dogs though. But lets check out an ADVENTURE DOG

I'm out of town for a week or two and I visited the local game store (WAY bigger than the one in my hometown!). Two books caught my eye; Legend of the Burning Sands, and The One Ring (which comes in a snazzy box with dice n stuff). I found an abandoned F&F about the latter but it was abandoned before going into much detail. I'm probably gonna pick up one of the two because my gf has a bunch of credit at the store that we need to burn before we leave. Anyone have experience with either of them? Or know where I can read more nitty-gritty F&F style stuff about em?

so to give us an actual TG topic to discuss(as much as I'm loving the pet chat), here's a question, what are some original RPG settings you've seen on other sites that you'd want to run and/or play a game in? some favorites of mine; The City Built Around The Tarrasque- a D&D Campaign Setting centered around a city built around The Tarrasque after it was imprisoned centuries ago Voices From Below and The Long Stairs The Long Stairs: Second Landing a pair of threads that's basically Special Ops in The Underdark Transmissions From The Undead Apocalypse- a Zombie Apocalypse with the Undead being more of the Resident Evil sort than anything(with an underlying psychic/eldritch bent), with the survivors being in more direct contact with each other than what's the norm for this sort of setting Mythos Supers: Oh What May Be Wrought With This Hideous Might- Superheroes with ties to the Mythos and all the horrible things that implies Dreamers In The Dark- Inception meets Lovecraft's Dreamlands with a touch of Delta Green mixed in The Manifold Worlds of Humanity- a setting inspired by Dune that takes off in some very unique ways, and is one of the most creative settings I've ever seen Mortasheen- quite possibly the most unique "Mon" setting I've ever seen, created by my good friend Bogleech, with hundreds of unique monsters already described and beautifully illustrated, this one's going to be getting an official Tabletop RPG sometime in the future(although that might be a while as it's been in development since 2012) unfortunately most of the other ones I've seen are ones that came from 4chan's /tg/ board so I'm hesitant to link any of those

So I looked at Mortasheen and it seems legit good, I love goofy monsters and I dig the art style. It is a sad thing though, that anytime someone says some variation of 'in development for X years' I brace for impact. Also the depraven is gross. Like not grogs.txt awful but it's gross. A lot of the other monsters are cool, like the heebies and the (non-euphemistic) sausage monster. I didn't look at all of them, just clicked on some random names. e eff c

I've been binge-listening to RPPR's Call of Cthulhu games and now I really want to look into a d100-based game, but there are so many variations of RuneQuest and I don't know jack about Glorantha. Where do I even begin?

The City Around a Tarrasque thing is pretty cool. I'd love to play in/run a game with that as a centerpiece.gradenko_2000 posted:I've been binge-listening to RPPR's Call of Cthulhu games and now I really want to look into a d100-based game, but there are so many variations of RuneQuest and I don't know jack about Glorantha. Where do I even begin? Rolemaster!  Apparently BRP Fantasy whateverthefuck is pretty good as far as BRP goes. I can't remember what the specific name of the book you'd want is, I seem to recall they've got some mess of editions going on. WFRP 2E was okay-ish. I dunno how hard it would be to get the books nowadays. I'd actually like to see the thing cleaned up and turned into an old-schooly gritty fantasy game, somewhere in between the weighty fantasy-science of the 40k RPGs and WFRP2. I don't think there are actually any good percentile games out there. At least, none that I know of.

I've always wanted to play in the Dissidents in Darland setting. There's a lot of directions you can go without overloading the setting with too much information, and the fact that it's alt-fantasy Weimar Germany appeals to me as a history buff.Plague of Hats posted:Rolemaster! I heard all the horror stories, figured it couldn't be that bad, skimmed the combat section of what was supposed to be the simplified version of RM (Rolemaster Express) and got scared off.

I never got on the Rolemaster Express train, but I'm pretty sure it has the same problem all other versions of Rolemaster have had: It makes itself look way more complicated than it actually is. It's not all that bad compared to any other 80's-90's games, but it does an abysmal job of explaining itself. And it's still an 80's-90's game, so digging into it you'll still only find an at best mediocre game anyway. (The crit charts are still fun as hell, and everyone loved them in the short MERP game I ran for the express purpose of experiencing ridiculous 80's gaming.)

The Long Stairs actually showed up in an altered form in the Monsters and Other Childish things Road Trip mega-adventure, as ripping open the dungeon to let more monsters out was the ultimate goal of the adventure big bad.

As far as cultural stereotypes go, I don't think it's too offensive, but it's based on the third edition L5R system, which wasn't nearly as good as the current fourth. I dunno, you could head into the L5R thread to find out more maybe.

Fallen London would be a pretty excellent setting, both in terms of tone and flexibility. If you want to plumb the deep mysteries of the setting and answer the big questions (why do the Masters of the Bazaar tax love stories? What happened to the Fallen Cities before London? What is the Vake, exactly?) you can, but you can also just smuggle tea and prisoner's honey with the cover of the darkness if you don't feel like it.

From what I understand it is a good improvement in rules clarity.

I agree though, its one of my favorite fictional worlds and is a fantastic setting for RPGs. Plus I would love to just look at a beautiful book full of art and worldbuilding for The Neath.

It's Cthulhu-y enough, but based in the 90s/2000s, so I think it is very easy to relate to. Plus, who doesn't love government conspiracies? The government, most likely.

Where do I even begin? If you want a traditional d100 Cthulhu game, either of the last two Call of Cthulhu editions are fine. As far as Runequest goes, plain old Runequest 6 is complex but it's not a horrible mess or anything. You just have to decide what you want to do with it and figure out a game from there.
