>>98502740Some of them are combinations of different weapons so you can have advantages of them all (at a disadvantageous of weight and possible some motions?), like combining spears, bills, axes and hammers into one.
>>98514501> I guess every manchild goes through this phase.I was 15 when I did the same
>>98502740There's at least three different length classes in that pic, from very short bardiche to pike. Poleax is a staff weapon with a head, the bardiche is war ax that speaks Russian. That pike could be 21', depending on unit and time period.

How do the FVTT gms out there deal with how frustrating the program is? I've been using this thing for 5+ years and it's so goddamn annoying, the the dev team just loves rolling out updates that break everything for no good reason (I stopped installing them long ago). Meanwhile there are still annoying UI quirks like the fact that you can't drag multiple items in a menu at once. You've got to have at least two dozen mods installed to unfuck various features of the program. So many times in the past I've had to deal with awkward technical difficulties in session, and now I've figured most of them out, but the program still just feels hostile and shitty to use. One of my friends just had her campaign end because the GM hit the update button that the UI begs you to click on, which fucked everything up. Foundry devs would put a fucking speed bump on a freeway exit. Also I've tried R20 and it's significantly worse, but if there's another feature-rich VTT out there I might consider switching.
>>98509707This exact issue is what killed online play for me. I want to love it, but playoids are the worst.
>>98509707Inform your players they're being bitches then run a game set entirely in the internet in a 90s style hackerman setting.Every map is just green and black, enemies look like badly generated clusters of AI bullshit and they have to use a physical notepad to keep notes because anything in the journals is accessible by 'The Government' who can and will edit it to fuck with them.Never say which particular government, just The Government.
>>98509707I draw maps by hand in Foundry, I make no notes for the players and don't use any of the extra features in the software. I have a module for smoother drawing, and a module for a calendar. I have generic tokens that I copypaste my notes into their description in case I get confused by which is which.My players are happy, I am happy.
>>98508948Why are you wasting time on foundry when a plain featureless grid on roll20 (where to drawn on the spot) and the dice roller is more than enough? Even better, screensharing a grid on paint, google drive and using a diceroom.>inb4 muh macros!Lel, mathlet, try not playing with retards.>inb4 muh graphicsImaginlet, positioning is all that's needed for tactical combat, everything else is superfluous.

>>98519847The industry is full of reciclying concepts and rules.Have you seen the Gundam Assembly miniatures game? It is basically World of Warcraft Miniatures game mechanics but with a better rules set and just a few differences. But lots of mechanics "stolen" from the old game.

The worst thing an RPG do to kill interest in it is get political. Take Eclipse Phase for example. It went overtly political and made the factions analogous to modern politics, and now people go into it instantly deciding what they like based on what their current politics are.Warhammer 40k on the other hand does this much better. The factions hold no relation to modern politics, there are conservative and liberal reasons to like every faction so anyone can like any faction.

Does anyone have a scan of the 10E IK codex? It never got added to the links and I even though the mechanics are in the usual spots I wanna see that sweet lore and art.
>Fantasy setting has centaurs, which implies the existence of dollaraurs>No dollaraurs
>>98511972>reverting to this old way of doing it would have been far simpler than the whole push to rename every -man noun into something bigger and more awkward for the sake of being gender neutralThis would have to acknowledge that Europeans can have different peoples and cultures (in this case Germanic) rather than all being "Christian colonizers." I would find it funny to have lycanthropes (I know that's just Greek wolf-man) or D&D antherions (man-beast) get gendered terms like jackalwif or wiftiger on top of the usual werewolf/wolfwere.

>>98499394I really like the idea of a DnD or Pathfinder clone with a horror/dark setting and a sanity score.Imagine Scoob and The Gang vs.Tremors, but its a dragon and the party vs purple worms and everyone has lost some marbles well before this dumb shit ever happened. Now it's getting worse.Just sounds like too much fun. I want to DM that so much.

Why are the BA construction rules "like that" where other than a modest increase in cost, medium BA seems strictly better than Light or PA(L).
>>98526176What is BSP if not just "extra BV to spend on a specific subset of things that refreshes every match"I mean nothing stopped you from doing the same in TW:Your force is 4 mechs that we track, and to represent local hires you get to spend 1200bv on convees and infantry every game.Solution to your problem without requiring the BSP system. It's not that difficult
>>98526834True, but for TW you'll need sheets for those Vees and PBIs, a lot of extra paper work for disposable assets.
>>98526951In general: Print in A5.Also generic infantry record sheets fit five platoons, laminate that one sheet once and you'll be good for the rest of your days.Vehicles fit two a sheet as well if you must run large amounts of them.
>>98526627Some gear basically isn't meant to shine in giant robot fights. It'll stand out once you zoom down to Battletroops or RPG scale.
About to play this. What should I know?
Should necromancy be banned?
the main problem is just that we need to do philosophy , but who cares about philosophy fuck them.so we will get into this shit treahts forever , as fantasy and what it means into itself , peoples minds are being reinvented , not neceesarelly for the worse , but its going to make humans not humans or better than what used to be human.but can you guys help me think about this , I don't want to be a rapist.based on your game experience , how do I psychic irl and necromancy irl.
is just , I can't expect something as silly as remote viewing is actually a RAPIST thing. hopefully you guys think this conversation is interesting , don't be afraid to give feedback!
>>98494442Depends on the setting. As a school of magic dealing with the positive and negative energy planes, probably not, no.The act of raising the dead, creating nexi of negative energy on the material plane, strengthening the ravenous undead, etc. itself? Yeah, that should probably be illegal.
>>98494442Should nails be copper or iron?????????
>>98494442>bannedI wouldn't say banned exactly, but it's probably a good idea to avoid using it to grow the dating pool, unless you live in an unusually liberal jurisdiction that doesn't frown on such liaisons.

Why do some DMs get angry when you try to game an encounter or situation by trying to think outside the box like flooding an evil dungeon by digging a trench from a nearby lake or attempting to mine out a tower or trying to light an evil elf infested forest on fire.
>>98518870Yes, or the combat moves to different stages where some conditions reset/change (like the group regains some lost hp or anything else similar).
>>98518880Because you showed up to play Dungeon Delving, Tower Looting and Elf Battling game, and instead you are solving the problem in the least interactive and interesting way possible using methods that are simplified to the point banality. The lake trench thing is one that I've been thinking about for well over a decade, because digging a trench isn't that easy.>lmao it is just shovels and dirtBut it's not, it's dirt, and sand, shale, bedrock, roots, animal nests, all manner of shit is down in the ground. How much soil can one person move using the tools available in 2 hours? How much does hitting bedrock slow that down? Are shovels adequate for cutting through dense root systems? How much time does that take? These are all questions I don't have answers to because I am not a labourer, but they do have answers. The closest thing my table ever got to this was wanting to demolish a building with C4, but much like digging a trench no one was interested in doing the in-character research on how to best bring down a building. If you're gonna dig a trench we're going to play Trench Diggers and Engineers, which is fine, but don't pussy out because I'm bringing up statistics on embankment failure. You wanted to dig a trench so let's do it right or not at all.
>>98518933That sounds excessively videogamelike in most cases and I sympathize with your angry dome.
>>98495025This is why back in the day there were consequences for straying from one's alignment (unless they are all playing lawful/neutral/chaotic/evil).
