When I was playing in Arashiofordo3's game of Monsters, I had four giant sentient chess pieces which hid in my characters chess set (He was the head of the chess club) the four of them were Queen - who tried to subjugate and rule everything, when that failed she executed them with an axe. Knight - A cavalier sort of chap who kept leaving gifts with my characters name on for various women, he also said "HaHA!" a lot. Bishop - the voice of reason and had useful - heal, so was always welcome. And Rook, who was a giant steampunk castle statue who spawned pawns out of his gates and the only sound he could make was to toot like an ocean liner fog horn. All the same monster, all entirely legal under the rules. It was awesome.

hectorgrey posted:Hold on, that's the kind of poo poo you use LARPing in America? drat, here in the UK we use poo poo like this: Hell to the yeah UK larp.    I've seen some amazing larp weapons at the system I go to. From rune inscribed frying pans, to a giant pink flamingo being used as a mace, not to mention the foam brain throwing weapon. If you know what you're doing with the foam you can do anything. My own experience of larp combat has a few additional rules to follow. Rule 1: Never go for the head. We don't care how safe you say a weapon is, you can still give someone a concussion if you swing hard enough. Rule 2: As already mentioned, never stab with a weapon. We're not even particularly fond of "Stab-safe" weapons because all those have are additional foam at the end to make it harder for the core to go through it. Best not to risk it. Rule 3: Pull your swings, this is for your own safety as much as anyone else's. If you don't pull your swings, then neither will the guy you just whacked and there's a fair chance they can hit harder then you. At the end of the day, most people larp to have fun and feel like a badass as they fight off hoards of zombies, demons, orcs and goblins, what ever their poison. But if your not careful then someone's going to get hurt, and that can really spoil the day.

hectorgrey posted:The game I go to (Forever's Destiny in Manchester) says no stabbing, even with stab-safe - you might get into the habit of stabbing, then do it with a weapon that isn't stab safe. You go to Forever Destiny? I might have actually met you at one point, although I only went once. It was the dead of winter about two years back and cold as all get out. Think I played a Hospitala (The dudes which take damage off others and then just heal themselves) Was a fun game but your damage system was awkward as gently caress to get my head around. Think I ended the night addicted to herbal remedies which the party kept feeding me cause I was the only healer. dwarf74 posted:We managed pretty well. My 8' and 6' spears used flag corps cores, with a thick disc of leather capping the end, and most of a nerf ball on the stabby bit. Our weapons tend to look a little more realistic which means thinner foam, sorta like these:  Although pumpkin jousting looks badass as hell.

I'd be up for a larp mega thread. It'd be pretty cool to see what other systems there are out there.hectorgrey posted:If you went to the December one a couple of years back, we'll have met then; I played a warrior called Hector. As for the weird damage, there's a reason why most starting players are limited to one of four basic classes, and it's not out of a desire to stifle fun. The name Hector does sound familiar, but my memory is fairly rubbish. So I might be thinking of someone from another system, not too sure.

Bitchtits McGee posted:Gentle readers, behold: the final boss of Black Tokyo. I found the idea of a personification of the hate of an entire nation and the deaths from world war 2 kind of interesting, and it could be a fantastic final boss. Then I remembered what game this was for and was really disappointed

Every day you post more of this is a good day. I'm loving the class system, simple yet each feels individual and with the ability to choose between combat, technique and magic you can get a fair amount of different characters going. I'm really hoping by the time you finish you'll have decoded enough for someone to attempt to run it.

That is a snazzy item system and I wish things like that were a bit more prolific, then again, if they were then it wouldn't seem nearly as interesting. A set of Grandpa's old gross tacky Light Armour is nearly half the price of a brand new set. Coming in at 461 gold  Bit of a shame the old goat charged you for it but I doubt they have pensions in Ryuutama land.

Forums Terrorist posted:I could knock up a sample character or stat up a member of the cast or something, but I'm going to do the amusing thing and let goons vote to come up with a character concept. The deadline will be either tomorrow or sooner if there's a clear winner; if no one can decide I'll pick the funniest. The choice was made long ago. Winnie The Pooh, the Wax Droid. Hero of the revolution. Martyr to the cause.

So if I'm reading that right, I like causing wars and not buying enough candles, and hate the dungeons and other species. Or is it the other way around? Still though, the background rolls are an interesting way to add tension into the game, it's pretty cool and means there will be some politics going on in game as people try to maneuver the kingdom in the direction they want it to go.

Bitchtits McGee posted:The Like/Dislike results are free-assignable, the only requirement is that you have two of each. You could be a dungeon-loving king-of-the-night who's also a peacenik racist, or you could tack 'em down in order like that, or you can make up your own if you don't like what got rolled. There aren't any mechanics backing this up like with Backgrounds, so the tables are just there for convenience. Ahhh! That makes more sense. It'd be interesting getting the background I got and ending up hating foreigners. Do you hate yourself? Or your entire kingdom?  Have you ever played a game of this McGee? I know you're attempting to translate it according to the japanese role play thread

We could try putting a play by post together. But it would end with only you knowing the rules since no one else could read the book. Maybe one day, eh?

Bitchtits McGee posted:It wouldn't be the first WGA game on these forums. I'd still quite like to see your write up continue. Since it's pretty helpful to someone who hasn't ever played the game before. Although I do have a personal motive here, in that I never understand a game until someone else has taken me through it, because I'm somehow incapable of learning a system on my own. Which is annoying when you're trying to introduce folk to a game and have to keep turning to the guy to your right to ask how something works, but hey, what'cha gonna do. Selfishness aside, I guess the question comes down to this: Do you feel that the barebone PDF covers everything you had to say about this game? If yes, then go onto Days. If not, stick with Kingdoms until your satisfied

goatface posted:Shin missiles have always confused me. Why would you put missile launchers on the part of the robot most likely to be behind cover? Because when you're in a robot badass enough to have shin missiles, you're supposed to stride at the enemy. Not stand behind cover. You should be laughing as bullets bounce off your armour, all the while kicking missiles at everyone. The other reason I guess could be as anti vehicle weaponry against infantry vehicles. If your robot is big enough then they should be at just about the right height to fire without you having to look down to aim with the guns on your upper torso.

Oh DX, you never cease to make me smile I personally think that's a pretty good players guide, since it focuses less on how to use the rules and more how to be when you're playing the game. I think I myself could probably have done with some of that advice on occasion, as could most people from time to time I'm sure.
