Well guys, I went and did it. I've joined my first roleplaying group. Apparently we're going to be playing in a setting that's kind of "based" on Shadowrun (and uses its rules) but with a different metaplot, so the guy running it says.

I've determined that I'd like to play a big guy. And when I say "big", I mean Shaquille O' Neal if he had the frame of a linebacker. GM tells me I'll be golden if I go Troll, so that's probably what I'm after. I'm a little torn though for a good "big guy" weapon, because I have a thing for both shotguns and miniguns, as these are weapons I grew up loving the most in any given FPS (of which I was an avid player up until the last few years).

I'm kind of leery about flipping a coin over it, since I wonder which one will be more useful in the longrun in Shadowrun anyway? Because really, I only have a passing familiarity with it. As far as I know it's just if you took 80's cyberpunk and added fantasy to the mix. Oh, and aesthetics for badassery are important to me, as well, of course.

So, /tg/... should I be Doomguy or a goddamn Sexual Tyrannosaurus?

WHY are there so many fucking quest threads? Couldn't you guys have given it a rest after Joan and Ruby Quest? Holy fucking shit. Why the fuck are there so many loli weaboo text adventures lazily shitting up this board?

I used to love /tg/ for tabletop discussion and interesting ideas. Why would you soapbox your shitty railroaded adventures instead of delegating them to a private space?

What the fuck happened to you, /tg/?

What's the firing mode of Lasguns?

Single shot a la bolt action rifle or semi-auto/auto like modern assault rifles? Or something else (i.e. Megaman-style Charged-up shots)

>Why not multiple modes like modern assault rifles?

Because the hellguns of Imperial stormtroopers imply that automatic laser weapons are for specials.

Hey /tg/

Why don't space marines use camouflage?

Hi /tg/ I just finished reading pic related and I was wondering if there are any systems with mechanics for playing animals as PC's
I'm not talking furries here I'm talking legit animals. Running a post apoc campaign with the party as a group of escaped zoo animals or their descendants in a crumbling city landscape could be fun

Here it is! Back by (lack of) popular demand.
No archive, so, here's our events so far.
Yesterday, our young Hero, William set out from home on his first adventure! He smote an evil water fairy, and saved a harpy from certain death at the mandibles of spider beasts.
Now, the next morning, William must decide where he's going and what to do with the Harpy he saved.

For House and Dominion: Neeran War Quest

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=House%20and%20Dominion


You are Sonia Reynard, Attack Wing Leader and Knight of the House of Jerik-Dremine! While you directly command the Third Attack Wing, the newly formed Fifth Attack Wing lead by Daska Rna also falls under your leadership. Both are elite units of the House, composed of fast hard hitting Cruisers, Frigates and Corvettes and since your deployment to the Shallan front have begun to rack up an impressive kill tally.

It's been two weeks since your return to friendly lines following a large scale operation put together by Shallan Admiral Rasarm. While it seems the Admiral was killed in battle and many other ships were lost the operation has been deemed a success, drawing dozens of battlegroups away from the front lines.

The main thrust of the Neeran Invasion of this galaxy has ground to a halt with so many of their ships out of position or undergoing repairs at once. To prevent a full counterattack by the Factions the enemy have stepped up their attempts to raid convoys, installations and civilian evacuation ships.
Daska and 5th Wing have traded in their previous mission of raiding outposts and logistics for defending them. Their fast ships ar just as usefull in this role as they were on the attack. They're not alone in their efforts. With the lines beginning to stabilize Shallan fleets along with mercenaries and ships from other Factions have poured into the region even while the locals continue efforts to prepare equipment to be evacuated or scuttled.

3rd Wing has been busy rebuilding, replacing lost ships with those on loan from the Alliance and corvettes from the reserves. Mike's squadron have been split off into it's own unit seperate from either wing and stocked up with afterburner equipped forces. Everyone has been busy training with their new ships.
