Frenopolis is a gamified tetragrammaton clothed in the memetic zeitgeist.

This thread is for discussion and development logging.

It's easiest to learn with YGO/MTG experience.

It's not for sale, but you can request a free physical 2-player 90 card set by following the instructions in the description of this video:
https://youtu.be/oPoBUoagO_k
(No payment or identifying info required)

Playmats have arrived and will be sent out with the playtesting kits. Anyone who already received a set with the shipping label name "Current Resident" should be receiving one by 1/10/26. If your shipping label was not sent to "Current Resident", email or DM me on telegram so I can send you one.

in the described scenario, if P2 didn't have a filled Earth element, then they would instead draw a card from their deck.

if P1 already had an Earth element (and P2 didn't) then P2 would draw a card from their deck and there would be no change for P1.

if P1 already had an Earth element (and P2 did), then P1 would draw their Earth element, and there would be no change for P1.

if P1 already had an Earth element (and P2 did), then [[P2]] (not P1) would draw their Earth element, and there would be no change for P1.
>>
if both P1 and P2 had the Earth element, and P1 removed P2's Structure (Earth), then neither player would draw a card, and no elements would be moved: it would be a stalemate element/cardwise, and the Structure would simply be moved to the Archive.

The problem never was chuds complaining about woke slop. The problem has been tourists. Chuds have always been part of the hobby. Tourists haven't. A tourist can act like a chud, but they don't understand the core reasons of why chuds hate particular decisions that companies make. Tourists only care about owning the chuds and strawman chuds into being woman hating incels to kill conversations about game quality. The threads get engagement because of the bait. Rinse and repeat for years and eventually all proper discussion is driven away by the tourists and chuds arguing. The Chuds will always argue, but at least they argue in good faith unlike the tourists who have no long term interests in /tg/ stuff.

>>97411351
Yeah, it kinda is. I wouldn't say the hobby in general, but specific products. The truth is, very few people mind that orcs are evil zealots rather than misunderstood Mexicans. Appealing to the minority will alienate most people that want the fun sword and sorcery experience rather than whatever they were going for with the Radiant Citadel.
>"But you can take that stuff out, though."
I have a job, I don't have time to run campaigns written by me like once did. If I don't like a book, I'm not going to mod it to hell and back to make a fun adventure out of it, I'm going to search for something else. Thus I abandoned D&D (I also didn't like how powercrept the newer subclasses were, but that's for another post).

There was a noticeable shift around 2013 when wokeism rose. There was a noticeable shift around 2016 when the election happened. I'm not sure if there will be any more noticeable shifts until the site dies, however, because I honestly don't see how it can get worse than this.

Part of the ask from the players is not wanting to bargain in middle of a fight. Another is that they want to keep paying outsiders in equipment and magic items in hopes of those outsiders wearing and using it on subsequent call ins.

but that would be raising the ally's CR and most outsiders are specced as not having any stuff except for a weapon. I wonder if to balance that, I should be pumping up the price of subsequent Planar Ally, proportionally. Except its based on HD and not CR.
>>
>>97417114
I feel like that is such a specific ask that it would entirely depend on the attitude of the outsider and the kind of task syou're asking for. As in you should at least discuss the type of service they'd be performing.

Like I could see a Ghaele easily agreeing to come to help if you fight evil monsters, given their nature as "knights-errant" who fight evil wherever they can. But be a lot more reluctant to be on call for a more miscelanious service like using greater teleport to repeatedly transport goods or to treat wounds and stuff like that.

Not that it really matters because words mean whatever people with power say they mean, but liberalism is by definition left wing. In fact, it's the defining idea of the left, which gains its name from being in the left wing of the French Assemblée Nationale during the final years of the Ancient Régime, which was made up of liberals and pushing for republicanism in opposition to the right wing which supported monarchy and aristocracy.

Part of the issue here is that op hasn't really defined terms. What is it that they would find interesting out hard sci-fi space combat? What would they find miserable? Because, if you don't want a crunchy system, then you could use something like the Stars Without Number ship combat system, and the hard sci-fi of it becomes window dressing.

So is it
>I want a system that models the hard sci-fi in the mechanics
Or
>I want a simple system

Because I don't see how it can be both.

The problem with the harder end of science fiction is that it doesn't conform to what most players want.
Even turbo-autists have unrealistic expectation.

>private nuclear spaceship
So fucking dangerous you'd not be allowed to undock without filling a full flight plan, with automated shutdown if you stray out of it.

>space warfare in general
We have no reason to expect it will involve "conventional warship". Missiles spam & lasers are just too efficient, and stealth is effectively impossible.

>warship
Best you can hope is a glorified police-ship in a political setting where everyone is trying to do as little damage as possible.
In a realistic setting, space infrastructure would be extremely fragile and space debris would turn orbits into anti-tank storms for centuries.

But that's not a bad thing if you accept sophisticated fun over raw fun. You just learn to appreciate NOT shooting spam of nuclear missiles just because you like big bangs.

Only valid for lens-based lasers, not all methods of producing laser suffer from diffraction.
I would not be surprised to hear "metamaterial magic" or "that weird trick of physics" as a technological breakthrough that allows diffraction-less laser (while also producing less waste-heat).

While speculative, physics do not forbid that one.
>>
>>97417691
The issue with PROCSIMA is that it requires a constant laser beam and a constant particle stream in order to inhibit divergence, you couldn't just pulse it like a laser except at relatively point-blank distances. The amount of power and particulate matter required to achieve this would be obscene.

I'm pretty sure this was a sequel to the Dark Shadows campaign that only took place at Warhammer World, it's like that 40k narrative thing they do every year where you buy tickets and it's all "This is canon to the warhammer setting! Even though it's never mentioned anywhere else. I remember seeing a map for it a while back, but the factions were just Order vs Destruction, although you could pick either side regardless of which army you played. Pretty sure Order won pretty handily and the Empire ended up taking a big chunk of Albion for themselves.

So our GM wants to run a homebrew they've been working on where we're all playing fairy godmothers in a 18th century German village. However, our fairy lineage has married humans so much that by our generation our magic is just kinda vague, and we don't really advertise that we're part-fairy because it's the 18th century and that would just raise more questions than it would answer.

Part of chargen was us rolling on a chart to see what domain our magic is a part of, and we can decide what exactly that means in-game e.g. one character rolled "Reveal", so that fairy godmother can subtly reveal what it is people really want. I rolled "Delight"... and I got no fucking clue. I suggested maybe my magic could make people say what made them happy, but the GM nixed that for being too vague.

I figured that you guys might have some fun ideas, so I might as well ask you if you can think of something interesting.

Christ. Good thing there is rest of the party to carry. We are 5 players+DM so if someone starts fucking up royally, the rest of the team can fill in. During session (where she didn't wear her face makeup), we were defeding a small village against various demons and since the village is a lot of tight spaces and Arrianne is a mobile scout, I decided to have her climb the buildings and jump over roofs and rain down arrows on various enemies. She has boots of Jumping and Striding and couple of skill points in Jump, Balance, Tumble, Climb...shit like that so it made sense. Whole fucking session nat1s on every fucking movement check. Arrianne lost more HP to falling off houses than enemies.
>>
>>97416833
Very cute Arrianne hair styles. If her hair was longer maybe she could do some braids. Hood and face mask wouldn't be bad for the desert though I feel like the ears would poke at the hood. Hmmm you know at a certain point maybe she should get her makeup markings into tattoos so shes never without it but that might be hard in hell.

>She has boots of Jumping and Striding and couple of skill points in Jump, Balance, Tumble, Climb...shit like that so it made sense. Whole fucking session nat1s on every fucking movement check. Arrianne lost more HP to falling off houses than enemies.
Oof. Werewolf has a nice mechanic of Willpower which does help maintain an air of competency for something that a person should clearly be good at. A gauge of mental strength, but also a resource pool that you can spend to secure a single success on an action, as well as prevent Botches where you'd otherwise have negative successes from 1s on the D10 dice.

Oh and falling down the stairs is far from the worst. Hes the only one using guns and his 1911 has blown up in his hands. Twice. Hes getting it repaired again. He recovered a sniper rifle from a ghoul I killed when we were on a big tanker ship fight and the last round was apparently boobytrapped because it exploded in his hands. If I recall it happened to another big rifle when we were at a vampire recruitment graveyard but that might have been just a very unfortunate jam.
