>>98123766Is Valorant worth playing or just good for porn?
>>98125347I have literally installed it, played until I unlocked Viper, played Viper for 3 rounds to get a couple of good views of her ass, and the uninstalled it forever. So yes, porn only.
>>98087426I like it when players make powers that are different Like for example one was "A hyper intelligent genius" the kind that randomly ass pulls "X was my plan all along" with no set up,reason or conflicting intrestsHis real power is convincing people through a narrative >He can not influence people past a created narrative which is most commonly a detective case
>>98126248In one game we fought a C-lister villain, a former Broadway actor whose power was controlling people's bodies but he had to speak out loud and word his commands as stage directions. He lasted all of two turns until the resident gadget hero filled his mouth with quick-hardening foam.

Hey Anon, how's your game going so far?
>>98124457 Elven boy knows the Faa traditions too, there's this thing called "sept of one", in which a Faa leaves their clan and become a "void wanderer", but they need a sponsor, the Faa respect ancient synths and consider them sorts of guiding spirits, elven boy convinced the base A.I. to be the faa girl's sponsor since it is very ancient back from the Autarchs' era. At first the faa tribe thinks elven boy wants to marry the faa girl, but then he reveals the alternative, he'll cure the clan's illness (a nanite sickness that makes people into stone statues) Faa girl gets "ungrafted", she'll have to complete a 3-moon without help from any tribe member or ally, the sponsor can only advice her. and she should bring back proof of her explorations, in the form of exotica from unmapped/unknown vaults. Meanwhile captain and dwarven boy are trading in the faa camp. Faa girl is given a "crysknife" and a heirloom pistol by her father, a distill suit by her mother, a floating skiff by the clan elders, elven boy gives her a cooling gem from the spiders and his pda to contact the base A.I. directly, dwarven boy gives her NV googles and mini drone, captain gives her grenades, and she left to live her own adventure as a "sept of one". Elven boy got to know how to cure the clan, the lithling, and the captain, but they need the ingredients, so they will go on quests to get those, they stay at the faa camp and that very night they got attacked by noospherat shadows in their tent, trying to make the captain betray the boys again, but he resisted and dwarven boy banished the hypergeometric noospherat shadows with his hammer.
>>98110811The most immediate thing I expected was for this lieutenant to be the child he was cribswapped with. But it sounds like that's not what you're intending. That might be what the player is hoping for, though?

It can feel awkward having silence when asking how they're going to handle doors they know are heavy and stuck but not locked, both the Strength-based characters need prodding.>Hopeful that they'll enjoy the ocean adventure portion of the game once they are out of the dollhouse. Sea Monsters, Pirates, Cultists both of the kind they're fighting and neutral, Marid, Efreeti, Unnatural Storms. And then the various little adventures in several islands, with the biggest one taking them into the Elemental Plane of Air.Shadowdark>Went with a hexcrawl approach in a simple custom setting with just enough background for flavors sake.

>>98110563for the online game, pretty good. the group passed the 1 year mark a few weeks ago and we're slowing creeping towards mid level B/X territory. we're on session 4 of the dungeon that's our current goal, there's been some fun traps and special rooms but it's a little sparsely stocked with treasure so far... hoping it pays off.irl games on the other hand, our first game store in the immediate area opened up recently and I didn't get any follow up from the LFG/LFP event they held despite some people getting my contact info. I'm going to set up at a table one of these weeks and start running some one shots to hope to build some interest.
>>98110563Slowly. It gets cancelled every other week.

Is it just me or did GW forgot to do their whole "see how community painters paint X" thing for CoS? They did it for city of ash and they showed off some cogfort conversions but that was it right?
>>98126122>They needed pilots for the Cogforts, and they needed them badly enough to trawl the gallow-pits>fellow criminals chose the former over decades locked in an airless, lightless, deafening cage, panting and sweating as they ‘plucked the strings’. >He’d gladly signed what was left of his freedom away> they had to haul him out of his cage for repair work>his steel cage rattling and the gear-harness biting deep into his flesh as the Steel Baron swung about to face its attacker.Nah, its definetly grimslop, the guy just doesnt know anything about 40k Knights, its actually more similar to the chicken gimps from AdMech, just without the servitor tech
the cogfort shit is still cool, i dont care what you fags say, the idea of a big war machine being a hell to operate is neato, the idea that its some dude blindly pulling chains is neat vs it being magic or something
>>98126290nobody was suggesting magic, just a normal dude doing normal work

>>98106260I will disagree with the anon who said painted rivets look better. In my eyes, metal rivets are better and are well worth the multi-hour effort.
>>98125817>>98123135I can have stripped pics in ~4 hours if someone doesn't get on it before then
>>98126200Third contrarian opinion: mostly painted rivets with some panels having metallic rivets to imply repairs.
>>98126244That seems a little extreme. I just need time to find it, but I'm busy working.If you *must* strip yours, you should repaint him as a Void Bringer. I don't think Saint Duncan is going to get around to doing one.

>>98126002I use them pretty much exclusively for airbrushing (I own nearly 100 AK paints at this point), and 1:1 is generally enough for regular application. With brighter tones, I thin more, 1:2. For detailing, I thin even more, and add a lot of flow improver/retarder. I'm using Vince's mix (8/2 thinner/flow improver mix), btw.
>>98126022>>98126009Yea I would disagree that contrast only model has to look tacky and ugly. Depends on the skill of the user. I first tested contrast over drybrush on an ork boy and it looked fine, and only 20mins of painting. But generally yes contrast only tends to match a kind of lazy spirit in the paint job, like omitting painting many details, only using like 3 colours (not mixing)

New fabgot here. I'm confused. I thought this game was for the game piece army? Cards are meant to be played with and only valued for their viability. Why the fuck does it seem like LSS wants to recreate vintage era magic? Reprint policies? Caring about collectors? Maintaining collection value?Which is it?

Welcome to /wbg/, the official thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art (either created by you or used as inspiration for your work). Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have!Last thread: >>98026956Thread Question: What original or exotic weapons exist in the world you are currently working on?What inspired you to create them?
>>98123931Practice.The English are a fascinating situation.They had some unfavourable conditions, like the Inca, and also were capable of overcoming them. But while the Inca figured out how to make it so no subject was ever hungry, and likely the best understanding of stone cleaving of the time, English figured out the technologies so revolutionary that even our sleep patterns were changed. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4763365/And from then on, getting comfy in terms of technological advancement for a couple of centuries became a terrible flaw, like the Qing and the Shogunate learned. No one could be ancient Egypt anymore.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere. Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency. If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help: >n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0 >Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128 >Need a starter dungeon?

I've always wondered why Steampunk isn't like, super-popular. Does Arcane count? If anything it feels way too modern to qualify.
>>98116589One of the big things with Steampunk is that it assumes some of the things that were 'victorian' science actually work. Space 1889 assumes Aether actually exists and thus interplanetary travel works. Castle Falkenstein assumes that you could harness magic with a machine... but also assumed that Verne and Wells were right in their fiction.At least for me, that is where I started to blur the lines. It also comes to who really controls the power... if it predominantly scholarly and wizardly, it is magi-tech. If it is scientists and industrialists, it is steampunk. The two can mix.The technocracy exists for a reason.Really honestly, the more you let your mind wander through what players (as you can extrapolate then NPCs also doing it) with item creation rules and how those would inspire others to keep working past that, to keep refining and improving till you inevitably reach a steampunk/magitech fusion.Also realize there is also a few stages past steam punk and head towards the diesel and atom punk games...Comment too long.

Does anyone else think "solo paper RPG" is just the gayest possible shit imaginable? I'm seriously trying to understand the personality of the kind of person that gets into this, can anyone explain it to me?>Book: You missed, now write down "I got raped by a goblin" on your character sheet>Cuckold: Ok.... *sigh* "I got raped by a goblin"
>>98124967I think being invited to a GAME and then just sitting and listening to retards talk in shitty accents all night without any GAMEPLAY is even more cucked and gay.
>>98125101Idk if solo gaming requires minimal investment. In a board game without hidden elements like cards it might be fine, but running an rpg solo with an oracle is playing with like one and a half games in some cases. The lack of investment is just in scheduling or dealing with "that guy">>98125190Thats not a solo game, thats a cyoa. Different thing entirely
>>98125017I see, your problem is with the goblin that raped you not being there, you want the emotional connection, with the strong GM, as he looks into your eyes and describes, with his suave voice, how his girthy goblin cock deflowered your dainty adventurer ass.
