    As far as anything that went anywhere, not many...high single digits/low double, maybe? /tg/ is great at puking out random ideas for something, but absolutely terrible at following through. Most things get feature creeped to death before they can get anywhere.

    Machina Dei did stall, I was one of the people involved in that. At the end there were like 3 of us, and we'd been doing it basically all week and were fucking worn. Eventually all of us overslept, a thread died without a followup thread, and none of us cared enough to make another.

    Honestly, if I had to try to remake another version I'd start from the ground up, that one guy pushing WHFB mechanics largely dominated the rules discussion.

    Nutopia - Post-apocalyptic post-cyberpunk post-modern setting. Built in Eclipse Phase.
    Trigger Discipline - A game to simulate mecha anime evolved into a game to simulate anime.
    Vril War - Alt-history WWII with humanoid mechs and actual thought behind how and why they work.
    Necrololi - a Dickensian setting where magic can only be learned by children bound to demons that take the shape of toys.

    Wild Cards suffered from a bad case of the Fluff Pox. After the concept lingered for a month or so, I sat down and came up with a rough draft for some simple rules. Following some playtesting, I came up with the final system seen on the 1d4chan page.

    The Dealer system was developed independent of fluff, so some things may different (though they're easily changed).

    Reading the rules of wildcards, quick question about crunch:

    >A player receives an extra point in whatever suit his gun is connected to.
    >a score cannot be higher than 3

    Does the gun's extra point override the usual 3 point limit? I mean, if you have 3 in clubs and get your hands on a club card will that score now be 4? Or is it a hard limit at 3?

    Honestly I think you've come up with a solid system here with a lot of potential to draw in new players. I'd also be interested in using the playing card rule set with poker rules, 5 cards face up that can be used by any player and two cards in hand. See some bluffing mixed in with the game play, not sure how to execute it though.

    /tg/ should do a "Shi/t g/ets done" thread every saturday, pick a /tg/ project and put some solid work into it. The thread wouldn't be on the same thing twice in a month, nor would the same thing be used more then twice in three months (makes sure we spread our effort, remember people can still make their own different threads for things whenever they like).

    Only started settings could be done (since we're great at new ideas, but bad at finishing them). How we decide what is to be worked on in any given week I'm unsure of, possibly some kind of vote? First to three, from valid ideas or something?

    People would contribute, and because stuff is getting done
    1) /tg/'s rep as a board where shi/t g/ets done will return
    2) We'd get us a whole bunch of cool new gaming stuff, for free
    3) We'd all be creating stuff, which is also fun
    4) Store it up on 1d4chan and around, always good
    5) With the day of Saturday as a day to pool our effort we'd be able to concentrate our writefags, drawfags, setting carvers, rulescrafters etc. productively and have some output.
    lotz) WAAAGH!
    lotz) We know we can make some great stuff, so why not?

    It was a great experience for me, if only to see how not to throw it together and what not to keep in before fleshing out something usable. I remember not giving a damn about most of it (like the Indians and the mercs) and it showed (the Indians were easily the least focused group) but keeping them in because one guy kept pushing them or they weren't awful ideas or whatnot. At the end there was just too much to address and too few people actually willing to address it.

    >Zelda bosses, Horo, and Amaterasu as gods. Several furry races, including one swiped from Final Fantasy.
    In the current iteration, Amaterasu and Horo are not officially referenced. Amaterasu was originally a regional variation on a particular deity, I don't see what's wrong with that. It was hardly a major thing. Horo, I don't even remember being a god. Could be though, it's not like most gods in the Unified Setting are very important.

    Bongo Bongo is still in in theory, though he's no longer very similar to his inspiration. The only thing that remains unchanged is his name and his rough appearance. I suppose his name could be changed. I'll see what people think about that in the Unified Setting thread on tgchan.

    The race from final fantasy has been changed beyond being conceptually recognizable, although they remain physiologically mostly unchanged.
    There are still lots of furry races in the sense that many of the races have fur, though.

    I did a lot of the initial brainstorming and codifying for the Necromancer Constitutionalists, and I consider them my brainchild. Obviously that means nothing to anyone else because I'm just anonymous, but it still feels good whenever anyone else brings them up and goes, "shit, man, that was awesome." I helped a bit on the Nazi fluff, too, but my real passion was with the Constitutionalists. There were a ton of really cool ideas to come out of those threads, and some neat writefaggotry, too, although we seem to have lost one of the four threads to the winds of time.

    /tg/'s bad at crunch because it's far harder to collaborate on. With fluff, you can just sit around and throw ideas at each other until something sticks. Crunch really needs one or two people to dedicate themselves to for a while.

    The British stuff was initially pretty out there, in that they didn't really have a unified theme and instead drew mainly on, "Hey, that sounds British, throw it on the pile," although that could have been other people. By the end, though, they felt a lot more cohesive and were one of the better-developed factions.

    Kind of both. During character/ship creation you'd decide if Crew or Automation was dominant, with different pros and cons. So you could have a ship (which they'd be cruiser-sized or something like that; nothing tiny) with a large crew or one that's mostly drones and wiring.

    The AI is in command of the ship and the crew/bots do its bidding. Not sure why fluff-wise, just because.

    Of course this is all a half-baked "wouldn't it be neat?" idea.

    Maybe, but on a more...defined scale. It's pretty hard to say "X features, NO MORE" for anything, but if we break it down to "X per Y" with some allowances, that's more reasonable.

    So if we're making a setting, we should agree on something like:

    -1 to 3 continents.
    -5 to 7 dominant races.
    -7 to 9 countries with 10 to 12 major cities.

    ...with anything above the minimum only really put in if there's a strong argument for its inclusion (aka not HEY THIS IS COOL THROW IT IN).

    Rules sets are going to be much, much trickier to throw into that rubric though.

    Sure, but for all that people extol the collective /tg/ for getting shit done, that's horseshit, it's individual action rather than collective decisionmaking that does it. That's the point he's making.

    It was hard, I was just about dead by the end of it, and my grades were hurting, but damn if it wasn't fun.

    Also, your idea of limitations is missing the point. Those aren't the things that expand significantly. (The exception to this rule s Tiji Sector).

    /tg/ at large is good at coming up with ideas and providing a springboard for inspiration. Basically, we play the role of muse.

    It'd take a little more than that, all we have is basics (a good portion of it cribbed from WHFB, with some parts missing) and factions (kind of).

    One thing we could do that would help is to decide what to cut from it, and throw in limitations as discussed earlier.

    Seconding. I think the problem that kills a lot of /tg/ homebrews (not only potentially the one I'm working on, but every other one I've seen and been involved with in the past) is that they end up with a core group of people working on them, and nobody else willing to go over all of the old threads. So, if one or two original members quit, they never get replaced and the project dies. Putting all of them in one thread could really help kill this problem, in my opinion.
    >> Dr. Baron von Evilsatan 10/27/10(Wed)20:59 No.12593866

    He did a quest that was so massively followed and influential it singlehandedly turned quests acceptable on /tg/. It also turns out he's behind at least three or four of the names that used to be notorious for delivering decent OC back in the day.

    The impact may be hard to see now that most of what he did got absorbed into /tg/ general, and because he was trying to be relatively anonymous about it, but he's done more than any three names of /tg/ for the board.

    I like the idea of being given a topic/idea/whatever, then having a week to make -something- for it, and then everyone shares what they made. It can be a story, mechanics, random ideas, art, whatever.

    It has commonly been considered a myth on /tg/ that we get shit done.

    Laziness is at our doorstep, and thinks it can push us into our chairs. It is already gloating; it can taste its victory. But what it fails to see is that we will make this our last 'fuck it, I'm done.'

    At the very least, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a weekly "progress check" thread for any ongoing stuff?

    Judging by what I've read in this thread, the more cohesive stuff is wrangled by smaller teams in their own free time. It might be a good sort of motivation to have a weekly show and tell session to keep the ball rolling on long running crunch sessions.

    Come up with a clever name for it and some sort of template for the OP post. Then someone (anyone) can start a thread on a Saturday so people can check in with what they've worked on, or just to say they're still alive but didn't do any work that week.

    About that "saturday list" i propose that 3-5 people have the power only to create those threads. to keep it official. And to make the thread if no one does, and bump it, be it necessary.
    I say we organize those fa/tg/uys.
    To apply, you have to:
    -be available on most saturdays
    -keep a track of the threads and sintetize them for the next week
    - collaborative, and with some experience on /tg/ (say at least 1 year, 2 years, the more the merrier)
    -Good enough grammar to not confuse "your" and "you're" at the least.


    And, finally, the mods should give us a hand with this. At least making the weekly thread sticky.

    I think my vote would be for improving or starting real rules for The Fall (setting in the bottomless pit)
    Simply because I spent a lot of time helping in the fluff thread for that and I've always wanted to see it done

    OP here
    I let thread live because I'm not a COMPLETE asshole
    if it is no longer necessary, I would prefer to delete it
    unless someone wants to archive it for future reference or something

    I don't think that I could be more opposed to this if I tried. Christ, why are people trying to drag mods into this? This is stupid. This whole thing is stupid. If you're too ADD-ridden and puerile to be able to do anything without a mod holding your hand and autobanning anyone without a tripcode and enforcing an entirely arbitrary set of rules, you're too opposed to the creative flow of ideas to possibly design anything of any merit whatsoever.

    >/tg/ as a whole doesn't get much shit done. It's the individuals that do.

    This.

    Case in point, Wild Cards.

    And by the way, I'll freelance/interject on "Shi/tg/ets done saturday". I probably won't be able to come up with a major system, since I've got a Wildcards game running on saturdays.

    Been working on a tabletop version of fire emblem for months now, released it once to /tg/ already. Will post the updated version on Saturday for the thread.

    Maybe we should have an IRC or a way to find the thread once it happens? I'd hate to have eight different threads, each with two people in them. Is there a generic /tg/-wide room?

    That kind of stuff usually resolves itself, though we could probably meet up on suptg's if they have one

    >Manfred and Umbubu

    Hey, I was the author-protagonist that posted that thread!

    I ended up dying heroically by charging a rampaging Shoggoth with an elephant gun and my trusty sidekick at my side (as, due to Sanity loss, I believed I WAS Manfred and that my friend's character was Umbubu).

    Alas, I died in the Shoggoth's jaws, but my dynamite-filled vest blew the son of a bitch back where he came from.

    I desperately want to see examples of your delusional Manfred Slapworthy antics.

    I wrote several of the manfred and Umbubu snippets, including the one about the dastardly dutchman and fighting a chinaman in an alley.

    As a member of one of the groups that works on things in their free time (NUtopia, yes it's still alive, if on life support), I can lend some credence to this.

    Also, regarding the whole 'whose thread is whose' issue, why not combine the two ideas? Central IRC room, collecting and organizing threads for various settings--NUtopia (link), AdEva (link), ect....

    That's an interesting idea, but the Getting Shit Done Council will need to hold a meeting and determine it's worth in inspiring productivity.

    Just do it in the same thread. Inspire new ideas, encourage ongoing ones.

    Man, Mosaic. That was pretty damn good. It was one of the few homebrews where I liked the system much more than I liked the fluff.

    Also, Weaver has claimed EFG finally. There's a list of all his recurring characters on his FA.

    Hey, by the way, your system for that was really good. If you would do similar stuff for other /tg/ homebrews, that would be pretty awesome too.
