>>92759435My LGS just gives away tokens from a big box, once you start using a deck consistently it's a lot easier to ask for single tokens or two tokens if you need them and keep them with the deck. Is it a deck he's used a bunch yet? Enough complaints and he'll probably get the token if so.>>92759570Every time I see this, man. I'm blown away.

>>92759644https://www.moxfield.com/decks/1-SXNciKN0qPPA6EnOcHFAHere bro, it's a combo aristocrats deck. You can lean on focusing more on gitrog itself, i only use him as an engine to draw and ramp though
a couple friends grabbed this months ago since we were all into the dune books before the movies came out, but we didn't realize the new version changed more than just replacing the art with generic promo shots of the actorsit was decently fun enough but we did want to eventually get at least the 2019 version for the spacing guild+BG, is it worth it? I've heard mixed reports that if you don't have a full 6 players it's not good to play and that it takes much longer, but a longer playtime isn't a con for us

>>92746630Even people who play a lot of Roguelike comment that the difficulty of that game's combat encounters is total bullshit. And it features a lot of unavoidable combat.
>>92757651Well, as they say, blood for the Blood God
>>92757651That seems like a random comparison, it's not roguelikish at all, you can reload to combat start as much as you want when you die in it, or reload to before you initiated the combat.
>>92757743"People who play games that are dominated by RNG mechanics and repeatedly starting from zero again think that Age of Decadences' combat encounter's difficulty is bullshit."
>>92757805Yeah, well you’re gay

>>92759316Well, compared to other professions, they sure don't go on killing sprees.1d6-2 isn't even that much gain, and you can't do it with wounds anyway so it's fertile ground for RP. Even the combat focused chars and players have some incentive to do what every human wants to this way.If you care only about chrome and braindances and not about looking stylish and getting laid,that's fertile ground for cyberpsychosis only
>>92759244Apart from being an edgy boy, I think Adam Smasher is pretty cool. The backup Elvis bodies and the absolute murder hobo sensibility gives him some flavor I think. It's also pretty funny that canonically he was turned into canned EEZYBEEF and they had to scrape what little bit of him was left alive into a duffle bag to bring him back. He also inspired pic related which is really nova.
>>92756045Tech might be the strongest class in RED, there's so much options and freedoms. It really doesn't need anything added to it.
>>92759690I feel like some more guidelines would be nice. For example, take Big Top's Militech Umbrella tech upgraded to be smart-linked (a 2 upgrade slot upgrade normally). Is that a normal upgrade? Or was just researching a one-slot smart-link enough? Is it still just 500eb? I'm guessing a 1 slot smart-link was it's own invention (forget that smart-link shouldn't work on melee weapons). Would Big Top be able to upgrade smart-linked heavy melee weapons next, or does each weapon category need its own invention (1 slot smart-link very heavy melee, heavy melee, exotic weapon, etc). Yeah you can just say 'it's all up to the GM' but some guidance would help a lot. Because just telling niggas to wing it is how we got the preddit referee who was having ripperdocs tear out patient's chrome if left alone.
>>92757655>>92759208>>92759316>>92759572I used to work security at a strip club IRL and interactions with the girls there were some of the most dismal and misanthropy-inducing experiences I've ever had in my life. Never before had I seen such an uncanny collection of empty husks masquerading as human. An accurate way to balance it might be to have an immediate short term benefit but have mental health dive at an accelerated rate in the medium term, or to have diminishing returns with each visit or even a chance of mental health degradation with no benefit after a certain number of visits.
Do you create maps of the kingdoms and other realms in your campaigns?Mostly thinking for fantasy like d&d but space maps are welcome too
>>92749660thanks chief
>>92749049yeah the rivers were randomly generated so they might be a little weird. the split I think I'll turn into a manmade affair. as for scale, it is as large as this area
any good resources for making city maps? ive tried worldograhers tools but its tough to make a huuuge city with it (unless you pay)

>>92751650Warforged are building a god for themselves in the Mournland. Warforged all over Eberron are looking for objects to add to this new gods body. Might make for an interesting character a paladin seeking holy objects or artifacts to take to the build site and add to the god.
I'm going to be running a D&D campaign starting next Monday. What adventures do you recommend?
>>92752732See >>92733733If you've never run a TTRPG before, sunless citadel 100%. Otherwise, improvise an adventure from a sandbox like Waterdeep or Ptolus.Alternatively, you might consider City of the Spider Queen, like >>92733907 describes, or you could try Wilderlands of High Fantasy >>92750042.
>>92728261>>92751650>>92751762Tentative build is duskblade 2 paladin 3 duskblade 2 into abjurant champion1 adamantine body3 power attack6 arcane disciple(warforged domain)9 battle casterThe idea is to only ever cast lesser deflect and use lay on hands to heal until I reach level 9
Anyone know if there is a book out there for historically accurate arms and armor?

>>92760191I think they're going to be merged chaos dwarfs. Like the ungors have gotten enough of getting pushed around and have become race traitor hob goblins who subject the other gors to horrendous buck breaking in exchange for shiny weapons from their overlords. like imagine an ungor on a chariot pulled by a centigor or a ghorgon cyclops being whipped by an ungor.you get the idea.The slaves can't be greenskins again because that's too racially charged but anyone can be mutated into a beastman.
>>92760364actually, maybe species traitor would be more accurate than race traitor so replaces it in your head please. god I wish there was an option to edit shit.
>>92760364nah Beastmen are gone.Also that would suck, if a third of the Chaos Dwarf range was just beastmen
>>92760386tzeentch and slaangors are still around, anon. have hope and trust the dark gods plan!
>>92760364I think Chaos Dwarf slave units (if any) will be multi-racial.We've already got human pathfinders trusted enough to be given hand-held flamethrowers.That said the Goblin wolf-riders stick out like a sore thumb in the GSG roster, be interesting if those were Chorf units released early thanks to a botched schedule like the horns were.

>>92746505indeed
>>92744946His accuracy is still around 75, so I suspect that 1900 is a fluke, and 2000 is unreachable.
>>92748947I also want that but my circa 2003 computer board was $5 at Goodwill and the circa 1996 one I was using before that was free as a gift from my Grandpa so "expensive as hell" would be quite the escalation. I saw that some of the ones available these days can be used to play online chess with a physical board without looking at a monitor, which is cool enough that it might sell me on getting something nice. >>92748981Thank you, I'll try to make time to play around with it tomorrow.
Is it dumb to want to learn complex rules systems purely so you can say you know complex rules systems?
>>92754234What if you like playing complex games because you find enjoyment in figuring out a complex ruleset and slowly mastering it over several sessions of play?
>>92755455Then you’re a faggot, straight up
>>92740584>purely so you can say you know complex rules systems?Yes. It is vain and comes from a place of insecurity or a self-perceived need to validate one's self to others in a superficial way. Besides, complexity does not correlate to quality.>An idiot admires complexity. A genius admires simplicity.
>>92756835As an old professor once told me, simplifying is overlooking

>>92757714Roll20 is a gold mine of insanity.
>>92757714I never tried looking for random people to play with online.I'd like to know what's the breakdown between good applications, normal applications, bad applications, batshit insane applications.
>>92757714>Character applicationsFuck, I haven't done a character app since the good ol' days of "raiding" roleplayerguild and the like. Wasn't really raiding, to be honest, since everyone put in genuine effort for their roleplay. Kinda miss that.

>>92757247The Turkish way of doing it.
>>92757135Economics!
What exactly constitutes "good worldbuilding" in your mind? Whenever I've seen it used, it generally just means something that looks cool or interesting.
>>92753839You're very smart!
>>92756355So you don't know what the verb 'effect' means.>affect: influence, change>effect: cause, bring into beingI will demonstrate.PC1 finds himself in a dangerous situation. At this moment he has yet to take any action. Based on the preexisting circumstances, we calculate that his chances, or probability, of survival, is 75%. This probability exists from before he does anything. Therefore, he cannot *effect* it, that is, bring it into being, because it already exists.PC1 does something clever that gives him an advantage in this dangerous situation. This raises his chances of survival to 80%. In other words, he has *affected*, or changed, his previous chances of survival. It is also possible to say that he has *effected*, or brought into being, a greater probability of survival than he previously had.>How does the society's placement effect their chances of survival?This use of 'effect' is wrong because the society's chances of survival, conceptually, already exists. Its geographical placement will not effect (bring into being) its chances (probability) of survival; it will affect (influence) the preexisting chances of survival. Just as my walking from my house into the street affects (influences) my chances of survival but does not effect (bring into being) my chances of survival, placing the society on the map will only affect (influence) its chances of survival and not effect (cause) them.>>92756407*opportunities to surviveComment too long.

>>92745711When everything fits together in a way that makes sense, like fantasy creatures and monsters that actually make a functional ecosystem.
