dm or ping me if you need help setting something up, gonna be running a tabletop game

haha it's funny because he's being praised for doing something that should be normal

damn I missed all the fun last night

would've been there but my graphics card was fucking up and I had to make sure it wasn't fried

had to get it stress tested before midnight so I could catch a sale best buy had going

I lived but at what cost

add about 5-6 hours for EST

or wait, we're in DST now so I think it's 4 hours ahead in bongland

I'm about to say the N word for 5 hours and 36 minutes straight if 343 doesn't fucking fix the master chief collection and make it stop randomly deleting games from my drive

this is the fifth fucking time I've had to tell it to download the halo 3 single player files

I play regularly. I run a 40K Wrath and Glory campaign.

Have done Shadowrun before but only like Shadowrun Anarchy because the rules are easier to work with

lemme see if I can give a quick rundown of the timeline

it all starts in 1980 with John Lennon being shot

no I'm not joking, this is the first event on the Shadowrun timeline

2000, the US Supreme Court grants a corporation extraterritorial status for the first time. They find pyramids and giant skeletons on Mars with the little rover robots and decide not to fuck with it. White women start popping out elf and dwarf babies. A dragon shows up and explains magic's making a comeback. Then a few years later people start "goblinizing" and a full 10% of the population spontaneously becomes orcs and trolls. The women who's babies turned into trolls while they were still in the womb are not okay. A virus takes out the matrix (global internet), a bunch of people who were jacked in die. The matrix is remade, some retard makes an AI and it gets loose, crashing the matrix again and killing a ton of people again. Japan becomes the dominant world power and everybody starts buying stuff with neoyen. Dragons reveal they were actually the real jews all along as they start assuming positions of power as government leaders and corporate CEOs.

movie night is tonight?

shit, guess I should finish moving all of my shit into this room soon

well at the very least I have enough moved over to do movie night

I don't even know

yeah basically

cool setting but most of the players are cringe as fuck

I mostly mean that in the sense of "There's multiple reasons 6th edition is a complete fucking disaster."

oh there's no doubt catalyst is dogshit

dudes can't make a rulebook to save their lives

like it's amazing to me that they haven't lost the license

given Ulysses literally lost the 40k license over taking too long to release errata

still it's just wild because you can tell that Catalyst was more worried about appearing woke enough than they were about giving you a functioning set of rules

I mean trannies and shit were always part of shadowrun as a setting

but if I'm remembering right, they spend a shitload of time in the 6E rulebook talking about shit like "It's okay if you want to play a nonbinary character!" meanwhile there are placeholder texts remaining in place of simple rules

so it's like "Yeah whatever, the tranny stuff was always a part of the setting because it's a hellworld where capitalism went off the rails" gets outweighed by shit like this

I mean you don't even need to market it

you just need a character creation chapter that doesn't require you to reference the index at least 20 times and do introductory calculus to figure out how to do the pointbuy

that's basically why I stick to 5th Anarchy

because the Anarchy ruleset is simplified sure, but all that means is that it's possible to make a character in under 30 minutes without downloading a program specifically for chargen

Shadowrun's character creation mechanically wasn't awful, the primary issue is how Catalyst formats their books

it makes character creation harder than it needs to be

solely because you constantly have to flip back and forth skipping through entire chapters of the book

to the point that most people I know just use Chummer unless they're using the Anarchy rules

because the crunch on its own wouldn't be bad

if the book didn't have such awful formatting

that was Anarchy

simplified 5E

but nobody's ever heard about anarchy because they put zero effort behind marketing it

and most shadowrun purists don't like it because "It's too simplified"

tl note: still takes at least twice as long to teach to somebody as Savage Worlds

real simple ruleset, setting agnostic to the point that they provide you with all sorts of rules to make your own races, worlds, etc, then proceed to say "By the way you don't need to follow these rules if you want to make some broken super race, up to you."

your stats and skills are represented by dice rather than a number that provides a flat bonus, all rolls come with a wild die

so every stat and skill levels up in steps from d4-d12

and no matter what your stat or skill is, you throw that die and a d6 to go with it

and any time you roll a "crit", the die explodes and you roll again and add to the total

tends to lean toward very pulpy/actiony sort of games

but I like it because it's very easy to teach somebody

though something that's good or bad depending on how you look at it, it's *very* difficult for your character to actually die

like the default difficulty for any given task in the game is to roll a 4 unless it's contested

so if you have a d6 in a skill, which would be considered wholly average, you've got a 75% chance of success between your skill die and the wild die

I liked the system enough to fund the most recent edition of the game

twice technically

because I paid $20 during the kickstarter for a digital edition

then I gave my best buddy $50 for him to upgrade to the highest reward tier in exchange for the leatherbound signed hardcopy of the rulebook

he benefitted too, because with my $50 it basically meant he was only paying an extra $10-20 and doing they meant they threw in a full second set of the various cards and benny tokens and such

if there's one thing my friends and I are good at, it's pooling resources to exploit good deals

but ye, new version's out, it's called Adventurer's Edition, they've taken to shortening it to SWADE

can't remember if deadlands noir was updated for SWADE

but at the same time it doesn't really *need* to be

most of the SWADE changes are quality of life stuff like chargen having an option for the inclusion of "core skills"

that and folding some skills into one another

so for instance, throwing and swimming are gone

both part of athletics now

and if you don't want your character to swim, congrats, that's a hinderance you can take now

I DM a sort of noblebright 40K wrath and glory campaign

noblebright as in it's an inquisition campaign where the acolytes actually *investigate* things and don't just drop pod in and start killing everything

really taking advantage of the new lore, namely the psychic awakening

I went to a FLGS run by the most bizarre boomer I know who gave me a copy of DH first edition for a guitar hero guitar and some shovelware

oh shit

really twisting my arm here, I gotta take my brother to work at 6

I'm a playstation guy, I see no reason to get an Xbox because I have a decent PC

and game pass is on PC
