Why are beast races always backwards savages instead of adopting ideas and customs from the more advanced races living around them?
>>97554531>Repeating shit that already existsLike having humans, and then turning orcs into green humans and elves into pointy-ear humans? I mean there's so much novelty in having everything in the setting be identical in terms of culture and technology.
>>97553165>But why not steal shit from the more advanced people around them?I don't know any setting where orcs and goblins DON'T steal from civilized races. This doesn't mean they stop being savages, they're just savages with stolen gear.
>>97554555What's the context here?
>>97558888Native American's are allowed to operate casinos on their tribal lands. Same with tax free booze, smokes, and illegal fireworks. Avatar was just "Dances with Wolves" but with blue cat people.
>>97547190So you’re saying that races and cultures don’t exist in a vacuum, and that if nothing else “savage” races should eventually start picking up weapons and tactics from others if nothing else? Makes sense to me.

>>97553382Cool face terrain. Do survivors stand on it ok, and what do you do when monster is partially on it? Just remove it and put the cardboard underneath?
>>97553382This nigga doesn't have grass
>>97553730All the 1x1 and 2x2 bases can be placed on it ok (not great). Larger monsters we swap it out for the cardboard when he's on it.>>97553734I actually do but it sucks, because survivors love to stand in it and there isn't room for them in it.
>>97553734grass looks like shit on the board IMO, I never use it.
>>97553382>Got gigaraped because we forgot to remove the extra damage mood after he killed a survivor.kek that happen to me too the first time I fought him.
Yes, it is very autistic of me to want to play such a campaign, but it's cool to me.I either want to have people play using this homebrew supplement I found for PF2e that adds playable dragon characters, or bite the bullet and play using the Council of Wyrms options for AD&D2e. Funny how I'm using the 2nd edition of two different games for this, huh?I've tried advertising other places, but by a stroke of terrible luck (and, very likely, because the concept of 'playable dragons' sadly attracts such people) mostly undesirables have applied to join. The kinds who don't read the campaign description, have terrible grammar when responding to the questionnaire, etc.So I am putting myself out here for any interested as most people posting here have a firm grasp of the English language.The game will be played on Foundry, there'll be a place to voice chat, etc. It is a weekly game to be played on weekdays, and my timezone is EST.The gist of the campaign is that you play as newly hatched dragons in a world where entire nations are ruled by dragons, who govern and protect loyal humanoids at the behest of the benevolent dragon god. The player characters are sent on missions on behalf of the older dragons to go experience the world and acquire the wisdom to someday become rulers themselves of their own realm.
>>97556789>What system is better for this in your opinion?Some sort of generic system where you can custom build these dragons, like HERO or GURPS, most supers systems can probably sorta-kinda do it. Shit like savage worlds is probably too low powered to handle dragons.If I was forced with a gun to my head to stay in the D&Dsphere I would use 3.5 and just let the players either take Dragon Racial HD on level-up, giving them their respective type's age bonuses when they reach each HD threshold, or they can take class levels if they deem those more valuable
>>97556836I've never GMed 3.5e, how long do you think it could take, with book resources or SRD resources, to be able to make a presentable campaign using that system?I've also never used GURPS, though I hear it's good.
>>97556789Try Godbound, its perfect for high powered characters.
>>97556482You sound like a faggot, no wonder you are OP.
why not use Godbound, or Fireborn, or GURPS Dragons, or Epyllion?
I genuinly can’t tell if this is supposed to be a black woman or man.New cover of Black Library’s latest Alpha legion slop btw, you can see it yourself on the WarCom site.Also wtf is up with GW trying to push this picture of specifically Alpha Legion and Space Wolves being basketball Americans with fucking cornrows?This isn’t the first bookcover like this with specifically an alpha legion character, i think it isn’t even the same woke tumblr artist, so it might be a corporate mandate that Alpha Legion marines are supposed to look like this now.
>>97548609To be fair, virtually nobody who actually supports that stuff calls it "Marxism" either (other than a few edgelord larpers who just want to trigger the right), the whole "Cultural Marxism" term was invented by conservatives to tie social trends they didn't like to an unpopular political ideology.Also, having spent a lot of my life around various parts of the entertainment industry, I don't think many people there are actually into the wokeslop either. It's just a bunch of out of touch boomers blindly fumbling around trying not to get canceled and overestimating how much of a market a very loud minority on social media actually represents.
>>97459015
>>97553816What the actual fuck is that cover? Does the GeneSeed NOT change a marine's looks if the guy is black? Is the GeneSeed being Politically Correct?
>>97459015t. lorelet tourist who doesn't know that 40k Alpha Legion tries to distance itself from that whole "I am Alpharius'' shit
>>97561742>Does the GeneSeed NOT change a marine's looks if the guy is black?no it does not
How do you deal with other players making characters with shitty, useless builds that become an active detriment to success at the table?
>>97517113>>97517265Sounds like he's one of those edgelords who plays D&D like a single player Diablo game.
>>97559253Have fun roleplaying a corpse.
>>97516943How bout you stop reading garbage and inflicting it on us, isekai trog
>>97516943Talk to them, ask them to do a bit of research in build and see what works.Tell them the system, campaign or party require more optimization on their part or you may have to ask them to leave the group as there is a mismatch from what they want, and the rest of the group.
>>97516943I stop playing poorly designed games.
I'm currently running two games: Shadowrun 2e and Cyberpunk Red. And it's got me thinking about character advancement. Simply put, I hate both of these games character advancement. The thinking in the 90's seemed to be that you would be playing a single campaign for years and years, so the assumed rate for XP is a fuckin' trickle. And I know CPRed is a modern system, but it's obviously weirdly stuck in the past in some ways.Anyhow, this got me thinking about what I do like. I'm a fan of Demon Lord engine and Savage World, where you more or less advanced after "an adventure." It's a little loose, but it's worked really well at every one of my tables. I also really like how warhammer fantasy rp 2e did it; you're gonna get 100 XP a session at least, and that means you can usually get one advancement a session. It feels nice to see some sort of mechanical improvement, however incremental, at the end of every session. Finally, this one is a bit more wooey, but the only d&d campaign I ever ran, I just said at the beginning "you guys decide when you level up, I don't really care. The only caveat is that you all have to agree on it." They actually worked really well, at the end of every session they had an honest discussion about whether or not the game's events would warrant a level or not. Probably wouldn't work well for every group, but I've been gifted with generally good groups.Anyway, does /tg/ have any thoughts about advancement? One you hate or love? Want to tell me why I'm wrong about Karma being a giant pile of shit?
>>97558984>Though i also havent seen a system that does this very well.>d100 systems have it where you improve by a little or minimally if you fail but i dont think it's the best application. Not the worst eitherI guess the difference with the d100 systems is that you aren't really spending a resource to get better(at least in the ones that I have played) and if you didn't get better, it's usually because you're already good at the skillI kind of like the Delta Green/Unknown Armies 3e tweak on the brp system; any time you fail a skill roll, you mark it for improvement at the end of the session, and you don't have to roll again, you just a d6 in DG and a d10 in unknown armies.
>>97558245Why wouldn't I be serious?
>>97558984It's functionally equivalent to increasing the cost of advancement by a fixed amount. It adds nothing to the game.
>>97559772Because this is 4chan?
Idiot.
