Adapting mechanics into a game.

No.32316248 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
What's up, pha/tg/uys and pha/tg/irls?

I've been chatting around with a group of friends about a setting that we'd like to turn into a tabletop game. What we have in mind is a sort of urban-fantasy/sci-fi/horror setting that has elements of "World Of Darkness", "Delta Green", "Unknown Armies", and whatever fantasy-based creatures we can work into the mix.

I looked up information on how to create game mechanics that work for a setting on this board's wiki (1d4Chan), but I wasn't able to find anything other than details on homebrew games. What I'm wondering, then, is how to make the mechanics for the setting from the ground-up.

Should I use something like GURPS as a template, or should I look more deeply into the settings I've already mentioned to gain inspiration? Or is there something important that I've been missing in trying to figure all this out?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FAQ:
>Can I run [quest]?
Sure.

>Should I run [quest]?
Maybe.

>Give me advice on [quest idea].
Make all the characters into milfs and have them box each other.

>Run times?
A chunk of at least 4 hours, preferably more like 8. Any time works, but you'll have more luck if people aren't at school, work, or the Dream Realm (i.e. American evenings).

>My QM is a faggot!
Leave the quest.

>Players are shit.
They sure are.

Urban Combat?

No.32306536 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
So, /tg/; In my recent Dark Heresy game, the Acolytes are in deep shit. An Alpha-level Psyker has driven the inhabitants of a Hive insane with paranoia and rage, and they're doing their best to massacre any 'outsiders' as the Acolytes make an end-run for their target. (They have what's basically a psyk-out bomb that they plan to detonate once they reach his compound.)

Now, I want this to be a very chaotic, Black Hawk Down-style sequence; Sort of like when an enraged mob of Somalis are literally running parallel to the US Marines in the film. My problem, however, is this:

How do I describe this? It feels that having an in-depth description of each part of the city would be pointless; The whole thing is supposed to be a frantic, running gun battle through the streets as they fight packs of insane civilians and PDF elements.

What's a good way to do a frantic urban battle sequence?
