>>98633175As someone who only posts in these threads occasionally, I can say that I've come to think you've become just as recognizable as any OC poster. The only difference is they at least try to interact with the thread instead of whining about what they think should be posted.Keep yelling into the wind anon.
>>986332091. I'm not the only person saying these things, no matter how much you try to lyingly conflate us. I'm not, for example, the guy that satirizes WoWfag. 2. Even if it was just me, it's impossible to avoid being recognizable by my position, so you're not making any sort of point here. The difference is, my criticisms would stop if your self-centered, attention-hungry behavior stopped, because the purpose of my criticism isn't to gain attention for myself.
>>98633232>the purpose of my criticism isn't to gain attention for myself....Yes. Yes it is.
>>98633232>2. Even if it was just me, it's impossible to avoid being recognizable by my position, so you're not making any sort of point here.lmao this is an insane cope and admission. Its not even a functional sentence.
>>98633271Explain how I can criticize without drawing attention to myself. >>98633285Yes it is, and you're the least coherent person in these threads, so you're throwing stones in glass houses.

>>98634244Yea lot's of revisionism. More people seemingly agree with me about OR for example but I know that is because the excitement has died down but the haters remain. Whatever cyoa it is, it really is suffocating when one dominates for more than a couple days that you don't care about. But I have also hated when people try to shut down discussion for something I do like. I don't know if we get anymore serious thread buster CYOAs I think it would be a good idea if it temporarily got another thread while it burns through it's energy.

why this thing has so many rabid loyal drones who take any criticism as a personal insult? are they being paid by wotc to defend it? there's no other reason to defend such a piece of shit system
>>98631338In my memory, at least two threads with proper criticism of D&D by the book were deleted by mods. One time, the OP was something like your paid post.
>>98631352Saving throws in D&D 5e work like skills, but unlike previous editions, all of them level up with the class, making STs work in a really stupid way in the late game when only two of your saving throws against deadlier and deadlier effects gain any kind of bonus. Oh, and imaginary bajillion totally useless skills to evade effects are a non-entity, existing only in your prompt and never appearing in any kind of discourse about TTRPGs. Which you'd know if you played games.
>>98631338>If you're going to criticize it, do so properlyCorporats literally wanting you to use a manual to tongue the anus of their favorite corporation.
>>98632348>>98632374>Still illiterateNo wonder this board is full of nogames, you faggots can't even read a rulebook.
>>986323683.X D&D shifting to Fort/Will/Ref massively hurt the usefulness of Saving Throws. Prior to that, characters started with a 20% to 55% chance of avoiding effects gradually growing towards a 95% to 80% chance of avoiding effects. Since saving Throws are now tuned towards always being a rough 50% chance of success based on relative levels SoD and SoS effects tend to be on the more powerful side.

>>98636415If I remember right he used to exclusively report GT's and not RTT's because he claimed RTT's skew the dataset he's trying to represent.He also used to share the database and have an Access front end on his website, and do more meaningful in-depth analysis on army stats.You can still see a lot of data on aos-events still.I have to imagine on his twitch stream or behind his youtube persona he probably dislikes the current state of the game immensely. His youtube persona has always been a piss take.

>>98621176There is no such thing as natural consequences and there is no inevitable progress of technology.>>98622304This is false, it's fundamentally different, and generated images are not and will never be art.
>>98622479>nuh uhhhhh~!Fascinating argument. So persuasive.Tell us all where you got your degree in Art History from! I'm dying to read your thesis.Until then, however, I'll have to console myself with the established consensus so hard won after more than a century of philosophers and artists working hard to understand this topic and the conclusions they've arrived at which are now, to the astonishment of literally everyone working in the field, actually no longer controversial.Photography is just as much art as anything else can be: because art is a made up concept. It's arbitrary. It's not real. It's literally just whatever you want. Aiming at the dead center of the Venn diagram of public agreement is fucking boring, and a shitty way to self-validate.You don't have to agree with anyone else about what is or isn't art. Because what you think art is or isn't literally does not matter to anyone but yourself.No one's trying to convince you of anything about AI.You're just being told that you're limited. There's a boundary around what you can assert, and it's fundamentally not possible for you to define the validity of someone else's subjective judgement.If you can find a way to argue your way around that, present it to the world. Several international prizes for philosophy await you, to the tune of dozens of millions of dollars and permanent acclaim in the history books.Good luck.

I dimly comprehended the process, how the silica replaced the vegetable matter, atom by atom, and the result was a duplicate of the object in stone. This, I confess, had never interested me greatly, and as for the ancient fossils thus produced, they disgusted me. Boris, it appeared, feeling curiosity instead of repugnance, had investigated the subject, and had accidentally stumbled on a solution which, attacking the immersed object with a ferocity unheard of, in a second did the work of years. _The King in Yellow (1895)

This question is not specific to any DnD edition so I will not post in a generalWhere do you keep your dinosaurs? Do you weave them into forests and plains alongside wolves and bears and jaguars or do you have a specific dinosaur continent where every dinosaur in the monster manual lives? Like that one dinosaur island in Final Fantasy VI. That's a kino island.
>>98572639My campaign world has giant flightless birds and other Pleistocene critters instead of dinosaurs. Dinos can appear occasionally in dungeons and other places with magic at play but wouldn't be able to compete against existing megafauna in the wilds - some of which is magical and semi-sentient.
>>98572639Saurosuchus isn't a dinosaur
Dinsarws

>>98572639The best thing to do in my opinion is not to "keep" your dinosaurs in any specific location, but rather use them as free fantasy creatures. Same goes with any other extinct creature. It's a quick and easy way to add some spice to your setting, especially if you give them semi-magical characteristics.
Which books have you read from Appendix N, and why is The Broken Sword the best?
>>98625686None.Reading comics and literature isn't required to enjoy games.
>>98625686>TolkienDelete this before the larpers and schizos come crying because they say Tolkien never influenced dnd.
>>98625686>All three listed Anderson works>Two Burroughs books, both from the Mars series>Four of Dunsany's works>Two Conan books>Three Lovecrafts>Five of Moorcock's "Eternal Champion" books (That includes Stormbringer and Hawkmoon)>The Hobbit (I found LotR too slow of a read, honestly)>All listed Vance works, including the et al. (Rhialto the Marvelous and Cugel's Saga)The Broken Sword is one of the underrated classics. I've seen Tolkien fans put it on the same level as Lord of the Rings, which is impressive for a 50's pulp fic (it wasn't published as one, but it's written like one).
>>98625686That's not Leiber but it's a good book.
People call characters like them Reddit or Tumblr, but what would a party of 4chan characters actually look like?
>>98605176
>>98605433
>>98630497The interesting thing is, beloved OC always becomes reposted to the point it then becomes hated and reddit by virtue of that consistent popular acclaim.See Sandwich the Drow.
>>98630239It is pretty easy to manipulate the general consensus of what is "4chan" through spam if nothing else. There is no particular reason why anons aren't as prone to group think as redditors are, it's just that anons use shame (You are cringe, you are soi ect) a lot more while redditors are more into guilt-tripping and treat takeaways.
As all of us fa/tg/uys and ca/tg/irls on this board know, the point of tabletop game lore is to sell us miniatures and rulebooks. However, it seems that sometimes the lore was written separately from the need to sell minis in some games such as Warhammer 40,000 where it was stated that the Imperium of Mankind is a technologically stagnant* (and in some case, backsliding) regime, clashing with the need to sell plastic crack.*In my opinion, the lore for tabletop games needs to account for the fact that they need to sell product with the lore team coordinating with marketing first to write the initial lore of a tabletop game. This means that certain tropes like lost technology needs to be avoided so that there is an open door to new miniatures and rulebooks to spend your money on.*And with the introduction of the Primaris, that part of the Imperium being technologically stagnant seems to be tossed out.*At least BattleTech realized that making Mechs irreplaceable (it was mentioned that the factories in the earlier editions of BT were destroyed and utterly gutted) was a bad idea for a tabletop game if they need to add new mechs.
>>98596690If Transformers is any indication, commercialization-based storytelling is the equivalent to CnB torture to the writing staff
>>98597340>Like to take your example, a statement like “The imperium is technologically stagnant” isn’t at odds with “The Adeptus mechanicus is inventing new technologies”. In practice, it could mean that the things the mechanicus is inventing aren’t widespread enough to counter the general decline of the imperium, or that their innovations are hyper specific in a way that isn’t doing enough to combat said decline. Like how the Germans in wwii were so busy inventing tank super weapons or searching for the holy grail that it are up a lot of money and research that could have been used elsewhere more efficiently, that kind of thing.To add to your point admech might invent/find something new, but lot of the time the STC fragments or innovations just tend to be type of stuff that doesn't really help the Imperium at large.Like discovering a new STC fragment or a database that still contains some intact, uncorrupted files. But the said STC is just a new type of sewing machine that makes socks like 10% faster. Or a coffee maker.Or it could be "Fuck You And Your Near Vicinity" super weapon that is so fucking dangerous to use or to create one in the first place that Admech just decides to "retire" that STC into some vault out of fearing it being misused or causing untold damage, and they will only ever bring that specific STC out only in a live or die emergency.Also another thing to add to admech innovating is lot of the time just them combining 2 or more pre-existing technology into 1. Like take Ryza pattern Leman Russes, it's just a Leman Russ tank but with a Ryza pattern plasma cannon attached.Another example of this funnily enough is Cawl himself. Lot of his "inventions" are just pre-existing things and then combining them, like his hover tanks, it's just him taking pre-existing anti-grav technology and then combining it with the land raider and rhino chasis.Even his "boltrifle" is just a godwyn boltgun with a longer barrel.
>>98613067>it's just an "objectively superior dreadnought"?It's really not though? The cockpit is fully open so the marine can get killed very easily.Also invictors are not as armored as dreadnoughts are. They are silly I agree but they serve different purposes. Dreads are heavily armored, weapon platforms that can carry weapons that regular marines would struggle with, but they also serve as a way to preserve a marine's life where he can live on much longer than normal and pass on important knowledge to his future descendants.Invictors are just bargain bin dread with less armor piloted by a non-half dead marine for recon and vanguard missions to scout out the enemy.>why even have regular dreadsThis is like asking why knights are a thing when dreadnoughts exist because that's what the invictor really is. It's basically just bargain bin knight mech for marines.Which is even funnier because there's technically nothing preventing marines from just getting their own knights because they can just a form a relationship with a knight house and then over centuries or even millenia "absorb" the knight house into the chapter itself until the knight house is basically fully under the chapter's control and they use the knights whenever.So even at that point, why even have dreadnoughts when they are just shittier knights?
Lore acurate marines
>>98596690I mean, if what you want is buy-in to the universe, then no. But as soon as it becomes successful enough the lore will be written to sell miniatures. Wargaming is a trap like that where if you don't cycle product, introduce new units, better options etc. people will ultimately buy less and even nothing when they "finish" an army at some point.>>98598277BFG definitely imparts the feeling of very, very old Imperial tech best out of all GW games because innovations and new models of production are occurring over the span of 1000s of years in the little lore blurb for each unit.

>>98635031>>98635045Naval rivalries would be a great way to take it. Of course, it has the problem of ship stuff being basically irrelevant to the game itself, but, hey, it's cool. You can obviously tell how GW is just kind of freewheeling the direction especially with how terrible Cathay's integration into the 'old world' part of the name, with primarch lady going to the old world when her whole thing is defending the great wall. They can't even keep that shit straight when it's lore they made up like 4 years ago, it's embarrassing
