Conceptually is hard to fit telekinesis in a fantasy setting with other types of magic. Cool telekinesis doesnt work like spells, but is kind of always on and you can more or less use It instintualy or reactivelly. It clashes a little with spell or MP based systems
>>97906987I have terrible news for that uncultured, illiterate anon. All sci-fi is fantasy. Not all fantasy is sci-fi. Sci-fi is a subgenre of fantasy. All sci-fi involves magic. By definition. Otherwise it's just fiction, and isn't sci-fi at all.
>>97908514That isn't how arguments work, anon. At fucking all. Go away, little boy. Adults are trying to have a conversation here and you're at risk of being banned for being underage.
>>97900763>>97900962Any distinction, at least from a fictional perspective, traces back to the Enlightenment era, where people started to focus on rationalism a lot more, dismissing a lot of folklore and stories about magic as superstition.But you still had that branch off into people who were trying to explain away the supernatural stories using science and reason, and so you start get "occult science" and people who were trying to see the future, talk to ghosts, or levitate. And so you gradually get the term 'psychic' thrown around for why some people can (allegedly) do those things and others can't.Obviously they were faking, but throughout the 20th century it was still dubious enough for pulp authors to put psychic abilites into their stories about spaceships and aliens, because if they wanted to put in a wizard but thought a magic alien was too unscientific, they could call the alien 'psychic' and then point to how the research into psychic powers was still ongoing. Similar to how they'd use nuclear radiation as a catch-all for causing mutations or giving people strange powers, because it was a cool scientific element that they could say did whatever.Essentially, the modern notion of psychic powers is simply a branch off of trying to scientifically prove spirit mediums are real, and the association with sci-fi is because it was simply more scientific than a witch turning someone into a frog with a spell. The division is entirely based on vibes.
>>97908524Arguments work by using words in a clear manner and backing them up with proof and/or logic.>>97908510 barely did the former and didn't do the latter at all.If you talk like a fucking autist who can't use his words, you're going to be talked down to like a fucking autist.
>>97908520Anything that involves magic is fantasy, you squalid fuck.Not involving an in-world perception of magic or involving a "b-basically m-magic", but involving magic.
>his male PCs have small dicksI guess if you're going to self-insert, you might as well add physical features that you have.
>>97898347True
>>97899187>breast envy jokes That's yuri bait, therefore it's sexy>but a female character doing a pinching motion is enough to cause a meltdownEverything you said is feminist bullshit
>>97895415Let's remember that after this scene she spends the rest of her life wanting to suck that penis
>>97899187Are we reading the same thread?

You know what'd be a great April Fools' joke, if this board wasn't absolute dogshit for a day.
>>97818367Damn I missed it, did they do something for this this year?
>>97892783Barely. It was a random character captcha that didn't even show up every time.
>>97889070You are literally the first mention of quests in this thread my man, I did a control F and everything.
>>97825226Yes.
>>97818367I don't see that happening.
What are some interesting ways you have used charisma skills? I once infiltrated an aristocrat's castle by impersonating a tax collecter and claiming I was there for an audit. I hade fake credentials and the guards were too scared to turn me away. The rest of the party were ostensibly my bodyguards and once inside I demanded they take me to the aristocrat's treasure room so we could steal an important jewel the villain was using for a plan.
>>97908345>goodThey aren't inherently good or bad, because "good" and "bad" are statements of observable quality.>interestingNot universally, because interests are subject to the beholder.>valuableNot inherently, because they have no value to a game that can function without such mechanics or to people who aren't looking for such mechanics.>usefulNot inherently, because that depends on if people or their games have a use for them, which again is not universal.Sorry for bursting your bubble.
>>97908358Nah, it's a TTRPG.Consistent, measurable challenges to player skill (choices and tactics) and luck (through the dice rolls and random encounters) through making decisions for characters who aren't the player, without any theater-kid or collaborative-story shit.
>>97908387You seem to have missed the rather obvious and straightforward point of the question by a country mile. Take a moment to reflect on the meaning of that question in the context of this thread and your own previous posts.
>>97908393How can they be consistent and measurable when luck is involved and there's still a game master above everyone else?
>>97908319>I thought I'd inform him that interests are subjective and not universalIf you weren't autistic you would have realised this is a given and pointing it out only makes you look stupid.
How the fuck do Callidus Assassin work? Like I know shit but how do they actually work? So what I can remember.1. Trained from a young age (though thanks to the Scion fluff it's really fucking vague, like how long do you kill your classmates at school before you go to further training somewhere else?) to be able to take Polymorphine and has to learn to bend and break their bones to reshape themselves. Painful and 99% of them are women because polymorphine works better on them.2. Can become any humanoid and gender. Including Orks etc.3. Assassins spray their bodysuit on which protects them and shit and (old fluff) requires a special substance to remove the bodysuit.But this doesn't really answer some questions;1. So an assassin turns themselves into somebody else... How does this actually work? Do they spray on their bodysuit, change into whatever THEN put on clothes? Or do they have to be naked, change shape, then put on clothes? (I swore there was a very old comic that showed when they remove the disguise of the bodymorph they're left in their bodysuit but this makes no sense, since why would, lets say, a Planetary Governor be wearing a bodysuit? Can they make it invisible and look like skin?). Or do they 'project' the clothes/armor onto themselves using tech and in reality all there is is their bodysuit?2. Can they change into smaller things like Ratlings or Squats? Are Ogryns too big? Etc. If they change into the weirder abhumans (and there are actual shapeshifting abhumans in the setting so) do they get their abilities?3. I assume they keep their fighting abilities when changed but lets say you turned into a kid or old guy, do you still get to move like you were a trained adult at the peak of human performance?Or is this really 'don't think about it'. I don't think it has even been explained like how the process actually works, fully.
>>97891116Sounds like Dune facedancersThe assasins in game of thrones were also copied from Dune facedancers
>>97891116
>>97898398>Reminds me of my father Kek
>>97891116Wouldn't it be terrifying to see that your advisor was one of the Callidus in disguise and when you're alone in the room you see her revert into this fetish latex babe who immediately attacks you with her dagger? You're quick enough to draw and you deflect the blow with your own sword and you grab her wrist with your free hand as you disarm her, but she responds with a quick jab to the nerves in your arm. You immediately drop your own sword as your hand numbs, then you wrestle her. While she's weaker and smaller she surprises you as you see a flash of her long legs with stiletto heels kicking over your desk and vaulting over your head. Before you know it, her powerful thighs are wrapped around you! You both drop on the ground and you let of of her arms as you start to struggle. The latex squeaks against the bulging veins in your neck as her muscular legs tighten in a deadly leglock. You struggle for your life and perhaps thanks to the profusing sweat you squeeze your hands between her legs and push them apart, rolling sideways to face her. For a second your face is in contact with her crotch, but you pull yourself up frantically, every movement comes with a rubbery squeak as she reaches for her dagger. Now you're right on top of her, holding her other arm down, her legs wrapped around your waist. She attempts to stab you but you catch her by the wrist again and slam her arm down. You're facing each other, and you stare into the anonymous red eyes of her helmet as you both breathe heavily, and you realize that your erection is pressing right between her legs. One of her legs dropped back down on the floor, quivering with exhaustion, the other still wrapped against you and for a second, that leg squeezes you and your manhood presses harder against her crotch. She's looking at you now and she won't let go. Her hips start swaying gently against you. She pulls your arms gently inward and invites you to grab her neck "You win. Now choke me daddy," she says.

>>97911373>Look at any epic narrative event and it's always a club or group of matesSo the same guys over and over again, not a way to meet new people or an efficient way to gather en masse and catch up with old friends from far away. Despite how much you and faggots like you use every opportunity to bitch about tournaments, if I want a weekend of historical narrative wargaming I've got a huge number of conventions I can attend, with lovingly crafted boards and scenarios. Narrative warhammer? Get tickets to the UK for BOYL and that's about it. You won't ever shut up but you also won't ever lift a finger to provide an alternative. It's the catty faggotry and bitching that's your real hobby, not narrative wargaming. Your photo is somebody else's game pulled from a decade old blogpost.
>>97910692It's the cover of Mathias Thulmann, perhaps look for high res images of the book.
This just got put up on Youtube, If I have never heard of this, I assume it'll be new to most of you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kfEu09tvuc
>>97906975i think the main problem people had with quests was that they unironically took over the space that was used for shitposting threads and their personal gripe with their playground being infested with something they didnt personally like which they found unacceptable so they wanted to kill part of the board to make more room for the shit they liked to the point that the board half died.I say that as a person that had quests filtered and never once bothered with any of their threads.Unfortunately the nature of 4chan is that the biggest shitposters that spam the most usually win and they managed to autism their way into killing quests and by extension half of /tg/
>>97907312Quests can't be attributed to eating shit, because they were, and should still be, on-topic for /tg/.And, since they were actual games (by standards of rules-lite games like Lasers and Feelings, Risus, any PbtA, etc), they should be more on-topic than the shitty history talks, visual media chatter (especially the FotM shit), and the worldbuilding posted with no intention to ever even be used for any game at all.So continue behaving like a retarded hypocrite, I have no issues continuing to treat you like one.
>>97907844Calling something that wasn't spam "spam" doesn't constitute an argument, especially something that was more on-topic than the current actual spam and shitposting, you fucking faggot.
>>97907993>the problem people had with quests is they have inconsistent standardsYes, thank you for explaining what I already said back to me.Super helpful.
>>97908198i don't think their standards were inconsistent.I think that they were just fat selfish fucks that considered tg anything they liked and not tg everything they disliked and a lot of those fucks disliked quests

>>97905262I've started reading this book because I wanted to see what nucron fags saw, I was willing to accept maybe I was wrong and have just been bull-headed for the last decade. No. This is a book about Skeletor and Mumm-Ra feuding with each other. So much potential flushed down the toilet so retards can argue how cool it is now that they can fluff their Lords to act like Ultron, meanwhile they only run canon dynasties and characters anyway.

Why is "Don't overprepare" such common advise given to DMs? sometimes it seems like people are allergic to putting effort into building adventures. Railroading typically happens when a DM is underprepared for their sessions.

Now, Jellow Expectutives, what shall we do with it?>I know, let's take that audience completely for granted and immediately pivot every aspect of the content for this new IP to appeal to the audience we already have nailed down like a Semite that's annoyed a Roman governor: young girls!
>>97911859>Star Wars is a fantasy which tells a story based on traditional mythology.>calls Andor misery pornLOLLMAO even.Is this nigga serious?
>>97912675>let's take that audience completely for grantedYeah, they tend to do that and dream about 'untapped audiences' and 'new markets' or whatever the bullshit bingo terms are this quarter.It's like videogame companies making the 7th Fortnite clone five years after Fortnite stopped being relevant and wondering why it bombs.
Everyone's issues with RPGs are solved when you do sandbox play. You don't need to prepare too much, you don't need to force players along a track to a desired outcome, players will want to explore the dungeons you've prepared, it's not possible to avoid content for very long when they track resources, everybody wins. It's easier to not railroad players.
>>97911154I don't see how railroads exist as a concept in a world with the logic of your post then. Even if characters start on a train:>sandbox isn't sandbox because it starts with a premise of getting out of the train rideI don't think his campaign can't become sandbox, but using the play report as proof OP was right about sandboxes isn't logical considering none of the reported play, however fun it looks, was outside of a railroady premise. If his next session is fun and actually open then kudos, he proves OP right; but it could equally be shit, so it serves no purpose to OP's claim in this thread yet.
>>97911262>Go ahead, tell me what you think my theory is and what the problem with it is.funny enough, that's a bit ironic. asking me to suss out what your own angle is, yet claiming that I have well defined my own. you should be asking me questions, anything else is a deflection tactic.
>>97911286Sailing to sixty different islands at the player's discretion and eagerness to explore is a sandbox.
>>97911522It would be if it happened in that play report. You can't convince people with just promises anon, this is the internet.
