/tg/'s homebrews

Tee Gee sometimes gets bright ideas about "original" settings and ideas which sometimes turn out to be awesome. However, due to the fa/tg/uys' inherent laziness (due to the intake of large quantities of meatbread) these project rarely come to any sort of fruition. Nevertheless, everyone knows that /tg/ gets shit done.

See also Homebrew Settings.

What are homebrews?

A "homebrew" is an unofficial, DIY modification, adaptation, setting or entire game made by the players themselves and not by the industry or professional developers. It is not intended for publication or wide distribution although in the age of internet people often share their work with others who might appreciate it.

Sage for Homebrew

A habit of lazy trolls whenever anyone posts a thread about a homebrew project or setting. If the lazy troll is determined he will repeatedly sage the thread and incite rage from those trying to get shit done.

Some of the games and settings conceived in or around the board include:

Modempunk

A rules-lite d12-only game for playing hackers in an alternate-reality 1986. Now you too can be z3r0c00L.

Trigger Discipline

(Rules on Google Docs)

A generic rules lite mech rpg, with the twist of simulating a television show (with mechanics for director interference, fan mail, and so on)...

Überstadt

(Überstadt on Wikispaces)

DnD tropes are mercilessly inverted in this comedy of manners setting. Imagine the World's Largest Dungeon and other overly complicated DnD ecologies. Now transplant that onto a Ankh-Morphork style fantasy metropolis. Lawyers and gardeners are fearsome playable classes and various monstrous races serve different social niches (from goblin bankers to gnomish factory managers to orc bodyguards and dwarven gangsters).

The Unified Setting for /tg/

All of /tg/'s favorite original fantasy-setting content rolled into one campaign setting, from doobies to dorfs.

Vrilwar (now hogged by Dagda)

WWII + Mechs. Depending on which side's propaganda you believe the setting is either realistic (or at least gritty) or has a secret history involving Atlantean supertechnology. The Nazi's mystical view of vril technology was hijacked after the fact to serve as a convenient excuse for the German mech program to use Super Robot genre tropes such as teenage pilots and hot-blooded supermove shouting (as well as giant swords...) in contrast to the more realistic tank/jet warfare style of other nations' pilots. (anyone remember what the mechs were called?)...

Walmart Apocalypse

Post-apocalyptic survival inside a giant Walmart hiding from killer stalking robots and avoiding being turned into a lobotomized greeter while clashing and trading with survivors in other departments.

Year Zero

An RPG adaptation of Nine Inch Nails' Year Zero ARG.
