>>98492972Looks at how part of my post got caught off.What I meant is thanks for noting I am more logical than generic anon, even if we are not on remotely the same page perspective wise.
>>98492882>Sadly I have none.If I was going to have a song for a jumper, I'd make it myself because I like music. Played around with some slop for a while back to get some jump-specific themes rather than an overall chain/jumper specific track. Say what you will, AI's at least somewhat good at manifesting ideas one wouldn't wanna spend money on commissions for. It takes entirely too many hammers to an anvil to roll a sound that fits but the wild swings mean it has a pretty high chance of landing pretty dead on a good one when you finally roll it. Kinda like Wheel of Fortune but without the gameshow.
>>98492726>you defended the implementation of 25 CP/75I defended a great many things because nobody back then really knew what a Jump was. It's now been a decade, and we way before now knew what Jumpchain needs to be to be sustained. I remade my Jumps, I improved. You're holding that against me is not a shortcoming of me, Shard, it is a shortcoming of you.>>98492750A standard is a standard is a standard, as opposed to letting people do whatever they want.>Jumpchain is a single player game.A thing is a thing is a thing. What a thing is makes it what that thing is. When you do something else, you're not doing the thing. Jumpchain is a series of things constructed by people. Just because you're doing it by yourself doesn't mean you can do whatever you want while still doing Jumpchain.>The current state doesn't have anything to do with whether people listened to you or notEverything this hobby currently is exists as it is because nobody listened to me. Arguably more importantly, even basic rules set forth by Quicksilver people couldn't follow.>your own community with itThis is my community. I was here before you, and I'll be here after you. Just because you're also retarded doesn't make this not the case.>you could have already done most of the things you claimed to doI am not Jumpchain, you are not Jumpchain. Jumpchain is Jumpchain. I did my part in telling you, at great length and depth, why what needs to be done, and it wasn't. I am not a break in case of emergency button. I am not completely restructuring the Drive for ungrateful assholes. Same reason I'm not making an Overlord Jump. Same reason I'm not updating Demon King Daimao. Same reason I will only and ever continue to make what I want. Just because I care doesn't mean doing what some negging prick wants.
>>98493153While in favor of people getting the chance of improve.I actually do not think this is a mistake. What makes jumpchain jumpchain is in my eyes it cross compatibility. You can go from any jumpchain to any other jumpchain in whatever order you want within reason. 1000 cp except for gauntlets. orgin concept, body mod are also strong aspects. But I do not think perk pricing details is that important. It just needs to be high enough to be not hand you everything for cheap, and low enough that you can afford to get stuff.
>>98492922>Also why is Captcha being Ass?To incentivize you into giving Hiro money so that you don't need to enter captchas anymore.

>>98493800We finally give Seaside Adventure a chance is what I'm hearing. It's either that or TRAC, because real TRAC has never been tried...Or Celestial Aria because that's still one of my favorites of theirs despite its flaws.

Why the fuck would anyone ever play a TTRPG when you can just GM instead? So much more freeing to determine the creative direction of the game yourself than to be shackled to someone else's.
>>98488810If you are only GMing because you desire uncontested control, you are in the wrong hobby for the wrong reasons.
>>98488810>he likes to sit in the chair and watch
>>98488810Sure
Think of it like throwing a party versus being invited to oneHosting a party you get to pick the venue, arrange the food, and get to make general choices about what people will do and who shows up. You enjoy the party and you get the satisfaction of knowing you set up an event people enjoyed.Attending parties is fun. Parties are supposed to be fun after all. Maybe it is less satisfying then hosting a party, but a good time is worth it.There are many reasons why people end up attending parties rather than hosting them inertia; they've never hosted a party and they don't know where to start, effort; hosting a party is more work than attending, scheduling; they are spending a lot of free time joining parties and so don't have enough time to host one, responsibility; if something goes wrong fixing it falls on you, and hosting requires skills that showing up doesn't.
>>98488810considering you need at least 2 players for every GM, but more realistically 3-5, theres an obvious reason for everyone as a whole to want to be a player rather than a GM then there would be no players

Friend of mine, chefbro, runs a pathfinder group. He's enthusiastic but he's made a few mistakes like having too many players. There's 7 players, so doing anything takes ages. He's also frustrated that only three of us, myself and two others, want to roleplay, the others just want to beeline the next fight and roll dice instead of interacting with the world he created, and ones a minmaxxer whom makes busted characters with insane plusses to stuff. But he can't get rid of the minmaxxer as he's got ties to three of the others, so he would know if he was missing out, and two of those have ties to one of the role players, so it's a mess.Also chefbro refuses to try any game other than dnd or pathfinder despite my efforts. Though I may have him, I agreed to run a pathfinder campaign for him and a few others on the condition I get to run another afterwards using a system of my choosing. I hope to break him out of the d20 cult.
>>98488481I’ve got color autism bigly and I’ve bought so many different shades and tones of the same colored paint to find the right one usually under the assumption the dried state is different from the bottle liquid form.I’m a bit stupid too because one minute I’m thinking of bright colors and thinking they’re too bright and another time I pick more realistic tones and think they’re too dark that they’ll look like black blobs at tabletop viewing distance.

>>98492653From left to right:>Pul'PotAmnesiac Tau found by the group and manipulated into helping us, loves preaching about the greater good when he can get away with it, doesn't remember that he's from the Farsight Enclaves(man that's gonna be a fun twist, we can really play around with it because the girl playing him doesn't know shit about the setting so we can flash the logos and stuff and have her learn piece by piece)>Esteemed Lord Captain Godwinne D'ArgenvalOur titular Rogue Trader and my character. Unbelievably spoiled teenage fuckup and firstborn son and heir to an extremely powerful noble family. Only here because his family expects him to quickly get himself killed so they can put his little brother on the throne.>Polly GonnadieyungGodwinne's personal attendant. Feeling depressed, sour, and extremely unhappy with the candidates his dogshit crew offered, he just offhandedly ordered "just find me the woman with the biggest tits, all she has to do is carry my Amasec and look pretty". Everyone is surprised she has lived this long since Godwinne hides behind her in gunfights.>CorneliusMaximillian's court jester and personal attendant. Basically just a random guy he grabbed and brought with him while fleeing his palace in the middle of the night. In addition to being entertaining, has turned out to be an absolute fucking hero despite all of us treating him like shit. >Count Maximillian Andreas Heinrich Maria Ferdinand von Rugalough, First of his name, heir apparent to the Duchy of Anorea-Gothenburg, Count of Mazurany, Head of the church of Neuostmark, lord protector of the Midland counties, and servant of the emperorOur seneschal. Old friend of Godwinne, comes from an incredibly minor noble family(dont tell him that) in a backwater. Madly in love with his younger cousin, but due to him being a crazy fuckup she decided to break the betrothal. The laws of his world state she has to do that in person, so he just fled offworld before she could reach him.
>>98493483meant to reply to >>98493384Lastly, our Navigator, Xanatov Vindigroth. He "heroically took the fall for a younger navigator in a scandal that would have ended his career." Widely considered untrustworthy, Godwinne was very quick to take him on to his new crew as he was immediately convinced that his family would never use a man this unreliable as a spy. Formerly a suave smooth talking gentleman, IMMEDIATELY mutated HARD, now a horrifying frog man with a 100 in intimidation. Has very mixed feelings about that. Absolute beast in a fight and our ace in the hole, recently was key to busting us out of a Drukhari prison. Probably a little insane, no longer has the authority to execute crew members after he abused it too much.
There's something that smells sloppish in the Imperium Maledictum adventure in the starter set. Maybe I'm just too slop-brained but the way the locations and characters are named and their little blurbs in pic rel give me pause. Also the main location being called the Cathedrum of Rationed Beneficence was what rang the alarm bells for me.
>>98493789>Scribus
I don't particularly enjoy flat HP
>>98493443>I assume Injuries are debuffs/penalties?yes but not quite directly, they play into the aspect mechanic the system uses so instead of giving you a -2 to all your rolls having a "broken arm" consequence/injury gives the GM an easy straightforward detriment to play on when he goes to invoke the negative aspects of your character to make a situation harder for you. Its hard to give a better picture without also explaining how aspects and invoking them work, that part is probably harder to port to something else if you didn't like FATE but you could probably make something work.

>>98487233If wounds are a death spiral (and this, for some reason is bad), what kind of wounds are you playing with? Loss of limbs and cybernetic replacements is cool. Fantasy equivalent would be magical or monstrous limbs. You can't expect a loss of a limb to make things easier, do you? Same thing for an eye. Also, there are times when the players can surrender.
>>98493807Why do you keep trying to insist death spirals are good? You're retarded.

>>98493329Do you actually have some learning disability?Is this your first time encountering analogies or metaphors?
>>98493368So you cant actually discuss the actual subject?

>>98490817>Well, discounting guests and refugees from the burned hamlets.>The initial suspicion I had was that things just were going a bit too well, broadly speaking. It was a known factoid, thanks to some friends of friends, that Stony Rapids has a presence of the Blood of some sort. Unclear what, as it was a tiny place far from any sort of activity, whether mundane or not. >Yet we arrived without trouble, despite the dancing fire-figures and their occasional sightings. We didn't encounter any clear, to Kindred, signs that we are not welcome. >Our kind Mèo-Mèo proved to be a remarkably reliable face for our group, getting us decent enough lodgings on town outskirts, as to present the appearance of respectfulness to the master of this place.>The trouble started when we went about trying to find this master, as to pay our respects and be on our way once we maybe got some information about the region. We began simply; find a sufficiently seedy location, locate a stranger with the characteristic splotches of paleness the Blood gives a ghoul's aura, and you work from there. It's a bit on the nose, for what my clan is, but it works and the lack of trickery tends to appeal to people's sensibilities. >The first pick simply brushed me off; all increasingly awkward attempts to say 'hey, we want to talk to whoever's ruling you' got directed to the hamlet mayor. Because the hamlet has a mayor, apparently! Daniel Powder.>Two more attempts had the same basic result. Eventually I realized that nearly every person had the distinct aura a blood-drawn mortal has. >Which is so worrying that we'd leave if we didn't figure we're being watched, at this point. >We'll be trying to catch the mayor tonight. I'd prefer not to, but the airport and the dock both are currently limited access. Smog for the airport, and the dock is being repaired.>Either an unpleasant coincidence, or somebody wants us to stay. Something solvable with finding the town's master.

I'm glad you stepped up because I got told to control the population but I don't even know how to. I don't even have a haven right now, I'm sleeping in a car with a mutant cat and a jar of dirt.>>98490817>imagine a Toreador pizza placeI can imagine the sheer pretentiousness of it, "Um actually we exclusively serve tomato flatbread, pizza is such a blasé term, our flatbread is a unique and artful onions alternative" and it would probably taste like shit. If I could eat pizza I'd want it made by the Nosferatu, it'd be GREASY which was desirable to me in a pizza. No Tzimisce pizza, I'm not eating pepperoni made from human children.

>Vancian MAGIC sucks!>Checks inside the alternative>Less spells, less diversity of magic and "you have to do it yourself" scamsWhy this keeps happening? I'm not defending DnD but nobody puts effort on their awesume magic system they claim is better.
>>98493671I'm not the other person who responded to you.>Which is why I asked what you think the problem with Vancian magic is.the metaphysical framework is retarded. but besides that is a fucking corpo system that hasn't evolved since 20 years ago. is just boring at this point. yeah fireball and shit whatever. i want something new. is this too much to ask? i will do my own magic system with hookers!!!!

>>98493768But that's just Genesys.
>>98493780Wrong
>>98492272Name three examples. Literally anything is better than D&D, which doesn't represent anything from any fantasy setting ever conceived. It doesn't even have true "Vancian Magic", but some bastardized interpretation of it. I'm not even talking about 5E. No edition of D&D has true Vancian Magic.

>>98493572In his words>i wrote this in a way that was intentionally hard to understand, and thought that was a good ideaBut then i read something based on my work and i struggled to understand it, and now that its happening to me i dont like difficult writing any more
>>98493394Ivory Tower game design has its advantage. For one thing, skill expression becomes a lot more obvious when someone brings in an actually decent build. Secondly, if you obsess over balance and 'logic' too much you end up with PF where their endless attempts to errata and hotfix their own shitty ruleset just makes things worse in the long run, creating a perpetual motion machine of their own incompetence. Much like modern 40k.
>>98493547>I disagree. Explaining a process methodically is far from explaining the intended use or expected value of an ingame choice,They do explain the intended use or expected value though. That's what the Sword and Fist, Tome and Blood, Song and Silence, etc. books were about, guiding the players in creating characters and explaining the various options more in depth. They couldn't have all that information in the Player's Handbook because the PH was already a lengthy book and it was going to be the one that player's referenced most often. Instead of making players flip through a thousand-plus page monstrosity, they kept only the basics in the PH and all the expanded, more focused guides in the following books. >its obvious that all the other spells/weapons/whatever are tuned to a standard one degree below the "correct" choice. They often have gimmicky other powers that might lead to unexpected synergies. It's basically playing it safe, in case a spell that deals less damage than a Fireball but also slows everyone's movement by five feet ends up being combined with some other abilities and creates a situation where the enemies are unable to do anything.>Speaking of, fireball is not balanced around resistance. For one, lightning bolt is right there with the same damage profileLightning bolt is considerably harder to use to damage as many creatures as Fireball, and the balance is the less creatures resist Lightning Bolt.> elemental adept lets you ignore resistances alltogether.As an option, at the expense of others. And, it's not mandatory, largely because being a blasty wizard tends to be one of the weaker types. Fireball is appealing because it's simple, direct, and powerful, but it's often actually outclassed by spells like Fly or Counterspell or Major Image, which can often "solve" a battle in a fashion other than reducing all the enemy's HP to zero.
>>98493651What he thought he was doing and what actually happened are at odds with each other. He thought he was making something that would gradually evoke a sense of system mastery as players repeatedly hammered their own dicks trying out every combo of every character option until they achieved enlightenment and realized which ones were worth taking in high specific niche situations. What he created as a monument to shitty design and antagonistic autism.
>>98493726No, what he was doing was trying to make a case for why people should buy his friend's D&D for Dummies book, a pretty worthless and unnecessary book that really only gave advice that the books already had given.His whole thing about rewarding system mastery is kinda like a guy explaining to you that if you want to pick up chicks you need to know how to deliver cool and suave lines, before he tries to get you to buy his friend's "Pick-up Lines for Total Retards" book.
