What system should I use to create a campaign with absolutely no combat at all?
>>
Fatal

You'll never get past character creation let alone into combat.
>>
>>26617093
Okay, then what system should I use to create a campaign with only a LITTLE bit of combat?
>>
Why would ANYONE want a square egg?
>>
>>26617108
3.5 of course, it's up to the GM and players how the campaign plays out anyway
>>
>>26617109
what if you need to stack them?
>>
>>26617115
>>26617115
Why would I want to stack eggs?
>>
>>26617108
WFRP 1st or 2nd ed. Combat is so lethal people will quickly learn to avoid it. And by quickly I mean like 2 sessions (and about 6 new characters) in.
>>
>>26617124
What if you need to create an egg tower?
>>
>>26617115
I can't imagine a single scenario where I would NEED to stack eggs.
>>
>>26617086
Nobilis, Storyteller (Vampire, Genius), Call of Cthulhu, possibly GURPS but neeh it's a last resort.
>>
>>26617108

Fatal. If you somehow make it past character creation, combat is more like group-sex/rape than actual fighting.
>>
>>26617130
World record for most eggs stacked
>>
>>26617148
FATAL combat is like D&D, so you must think D&D combat is like group sex.
>>
>>26617130
Just because you don't NEED to doesn't mean you don't want to.
>>
>>26617130
You have inherited 1000 eggs and you don't own any bowls or baskets. How in fuck's name are you going to store them?
>>
>>26617130
Yeah that's what you think NOW, but when your life is on the line and you need to stack those eggs up before your legs get cut off, you're gonna wish you had that egg cuber.
Can we create some theoretical scenarios for a campaign in which the players would need to stack eggs?
>>
Ok guys what if

Hear me out now

What if we could take

Guys listen

What if we took an egg, a hard boiled egg

Like the OP you know a hard boiled soft whitey

Listen guys

What if we took an egg

And we made it...


...


Triangular?

>>26617178
A d4 you could safely step on?

>>26617185
>step on eggd4
>stabs into your foot
>breaks into shard of egg shell, stabbing further into your foot and compounding into more wounds
>squish into the actual egg and have it ooze inside of your cuts
Eggs are the most hardcore dice ever
>>
Every egg is a baby bird or reptile. How do you justify eating them?
>>
>>26617185
BRILLIANT
>>
>>26617200
OP says you need to peel it for the cuber to work, presumably the same is true of the triangulator, so no eggshell fragments to worry about.
>>
>>26617200
>Triangling it with shell on.

What are you retarded?

>>26617209
They're more like menstruation actually.
>>
>>26617209
Every fetus is a baby human but I don't tell people to stop eating those.
>>
>>26617221
Because no one ever made a fetus cuber before.
>>
>>26617209
They're not fertilized. They were never going to be a living creature.
>>
>>26617233
I have a sinking feeling that someone has in the past. They probably needed to stack some fetuses.
>>
>>26617251

Something for the kids to play with in the doctor's office when they ran out of legos
>>
>>26617209

This guy >>26617219 has it right. Eggs are chicken periods.
>>
>>26617267

How is that not disgusting, though? Nobody drinks rooster semen.
>>
No combat?
Why not just sit in circle and tell stories?
>>
>>26617296
Semen doesn't have as much protein as chicken menstruation, probably.
>>
>>26617296

Because it's not as delicious as eggs?
>>
I house-sat for someone who has chickens a little while back. They're pretty miraculous beasties. Three chickens can live off kitchen scraps and a couple of cups of grain, and every day, regular as clockwork, they shit out three eggs.

Decorative, I have a hello kitty one and a Bunny one that I use occasionally for my younger sister's lunch boxes
>>
>>26617086
Ditch systems, do it freeform. Roll some dice if a contest comes up.
>>
Get a universal system that uses one rule for all task resolution - FATE, Risus, Heroquest, etc. - and just don't do combat in it.
>>
>>26617219
I knew this, but hate hearing it. Eggs are slightly less delicious when this fact is fresh in my mind.
>>
>>26617176
A puzzle where the pieces must be soft enough to be crushed but fit perfectly into cubical compartments.
>>
>>26617109

Stack 'em up so you can get the most eggs in one mouth-full.

Gotta optimize those gains.

Well if Japan can make egg loaf, an egg pool table doesn't seem so farfetched.
>>
>>26621104
But can I slay the cute monsters?
Preferably by squaring until perfectly square. And dead.
>>
>>26617245
although in the Philippines you can get hard boiled eggs with chicks inside. They're a delicacy.
Besides, we eat stuff that used to be living creatures all the time. It's called meat
>>
>>26621153
In the UK we get long pork pies with one of those down the middle

The joke is that it's not a baby human because it's not fertilized.

Just like an egg.
>>
>>26621316

So divide the number you swallow by 2.

>>26617130
When your pickling eggs and you have many eggs but few jars and vinegar so you want to get as much in as possible, also you should probably clarify boiled eggs, because normal egg trays are designed to be easily stacked because of how often you need to stack eggs for safe transport.
>>
>>26617086
But that's a cube, I wanted a square egg

Brilliant! The applications of an egg based based system of light refraction are endless. I can see it now! A bright egg based future in which the power of the egg spectrum of light provide for all.

And it all starts here, right now in this thread. Humanity spread vast throughout the stars. War, poverty, crime, politics, all a thing of the past no longer needed in the wake of the infinite prosperity brought by the dawn of the Egg Age and the unification of mankind into the Children Of The Egg. For eons Humanity shines brighter then any before them as they explore the most distant corners of creation. But they grow careless and arrogant in their power and begin to abuse this gift, delving deeper and deeper into the realm of egg they discovered something terrifying. Deep within the yolk of the eggosphere ancient entities stir from a slumber older then the universe itself, they are the harbingers of the Egg Times.
