The "cat shaman" doesn't even have any cyberware, tech, or magic gear on them Which is fine because they have no ware and the only gear they have is an armor jacket (probably shown), a Meta Link (easy to hide) and a Suzuki Mirage (too large for the pic) metatype: human B A R S W L I C EDG...

Rejoice, Frank! Insect Shamans are playable in 5e (in the "there are rules for them" sense at least)

The first sounds like what happened to Arachne in Greek Myth, who was better than Athena at weaving, so Athena turned her into a spider monster. Cause if you are better than a god you better not show it. Also I guess because the authors think "They are Good, so their actions are good." whi...

From my POV it's basically the following: Pick 2: ) Level 20 Fighters are mundane. ) Level 20 Fighters exist ) Level 20 Fighters take as much EXP as Level 20 Wizards If we leave out a.) we get the demigod fighters (Beowulf, Hercules, etc.).

Just as a point of discussion, wouldn't alignment make more sense in a world where there are literal gods which you know are not just figments of your imagination (due to their clerics having actual magic powers through their worship), which require you to behave in a certain way to get into their ...

Well, the 10s are the decade in which I was shown TTRPGs. Which was pretty fun when I was a player and we occasionally met at the GMs house to play her fantasy homebrew. And still fun when I started running Shadowrun. And less fun when our GM moved away and thus only my group survived. And a lot les...

You probably mean Quake? (which is not capable of leveling any metroplex. Metroplexes are HUGE) Not in the CRB. but let's take an example: A F6 Air Spirit. I should probably elaborate something beforehand: Initiative passes are gone. Instead you go from high to low Init and then roll again. Instead ...

Sounds like Shadowrun is now the Fallout of the hobby. Yeah. That's pretty fitting. To elaborate on the things I mentioned in my last big post: Sharks get Hardened Armor, to represent that they are tough. How much? 6. To do damage to a shark in 6e you need minimum DV of 6 to even try to do damage, ...

I think you're thinking of PF, Stahlseele. Not that 6e is better. They sold the 6e CRB on GenCon. It had so many errors that immediately afterwards they released a 10+ pages errata. Which was apparently so full of errors that the errata had its own errata. Their error corrections needed error correc...

Doesn't /tg/ do thread cleanup to delete old threads? I would think that isn't conducive to homebrewing in the first place, considering the onus of archiving is on the user, rather than just some feature of the board. Threads that fall off the board (either because they aren't bumped or because the...

Generals are a necessary evil. You don't want every single issue to have its own thread. But on the other hand you want some discussion that's more system agnostic. And the state of generals encourages a lot of in-group behaviour (see pfg, srg, pf2g). Plus, there's too many Generals there. Do we nee...

I didn't even know there was a 6E already. Can't someone just take the IP already from Catalyst's hands so I can care for Shadowrun again? It's shit. no really, it's absolute dogshit.

Even when they have a literal monopoly, bad GMs have to compete with "staying home and wanking instead of playing D&D". And once they demonstrate that they aren't actually willing to provide a good game, why give them another chance? Because many people are so starved for games that t...

no rules for the GM to abide by also means no rules for the GM to hide behind. see, this is where I realize we may have different views of bad GMs In your view bad GMs like to hide behind rules, using them to justify why it's all right that the PCs don't succeed. In my view bad GMs don't give a fuc...

Assuming a car with Faraday cage panelling installed:
Would you say it's possible to bridge it with a low-density cable strung between two Repeaters inside and outside of it? (Basically allowing a controllable Low-Density gateway into and out of it)
If so, do you think it should cost extra?
