>>92219074that'd be a closer fit but the tyrant gut-plate is also more spherical than the gutripper one (if my memory of painting them when 3.0 launched serves right) so you might need to work around that some
>>92218856>Gameplay1e > 3e > 2e>LoreWho cares lmao fag
>>92218792I think i've seen some conversions like this? they seemed fine
>>922188563e lore is almost entierly just the status quo of 2e after broken realms with nothing happening. The grimdarkening of shit like CoS is lame, though
>>92218273He's clearly a contractor.
Who is the ULTIMATE D&D god?Is it a frost giant god that endlessly wanders the frozen wastes? Is it (one of the) Chained Gods? Bahumat? Ao or similar? Asmodeus? There's so many contenders. We could be the regurgitated remains of one of Tiamat's enemies, for all we know.
>>92211534The one the you think is the best, most awesome, interesting, etcI nominate Ohgma he is a god of knowledge, after all. What can be better than knowledge? I'm interested in hearing everyone's opinion. It doesn't have to be a FR god, either
>>92211534This.>>92209194Ban this cancerous troll trying to kill this board.
>>92209123It is an enigmatic god called the DM.
>>92209123>It's_all_so_tiresome.jpegShort answer: whatever you want it to be.Long answer: canonically probably the Luminous Being ( https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Luminous_being ) but you have also take into consideration how supposedly the whole multispheral cosmology "canonically" works, in which case you have Gods that could manifest in multiple crystal spheres and Overgods that rule supreme in a single crystal sphere at time. This gives us the overview that implies that gods and overgods may not differ in power but in the ability to manifest it ("horizontally" and "vertically") so the Luminous Being could not necessarily be the only one but one of the same kind that express its power to another "direction".Best answer: leave that unresolved, works best if you seed multiple hypotheses that could all be true by their own accord. The best kind of setting are the ones where the unknown still exist.
>>92212221Yeah, that's not very definitive
Am I dumb for taking like over a month to learn a TTRPG system?What is supposed to be the average time to learn a 200-600 pages system anyway?
>>92216822What system OP?I have been playing shadowrun on and off for ten years and I still don't know a bunch of rules
>>92218369>some games have books that are laid out atrociouslynecromunda>Some games are complexand necromundaI still fucking love it
>>92216822Probably not, but it depends on what you mean by "learning" a ttrpg system.
I have read like 200 rpg books so by now it takes me like 20 minutes to learn the basics, 1h~ to be okish and a couple days to be able to GM itThat's for most games ofc, if it's something really weird (like Riddle of Steel) then it might take me weeks (that I'm never going to invest to learn a game I probably won't play, so I just skip them ;)
>>92216822Try learning Anima, we are still learning shit to this day about rule interactions.Whenever we get Anima 2 it's gonna take another 15 years to work shit out
Look how far your game designers have fallen. Positively Yugi tier.
>>92219146>bring a gun into the LGS >whenever I get a bad draw, simply shoot someone in the head and replace the cardit would be obviously broken if it wasn't limited.
You fuckers bitched about FIRE era cards shitting out infinite value super easy, and now that there are hard limits, you continue to bitch that now you can't shit out endless value. Pick a lane and fucking stick to it.
>>92219187>Good. Mtg needs more OPTs. Infinite combos are bullshitjust admit you're bad at the game anon
>>92219146>*/3>not 0/3why is the power undefined? some shitass workaround for 'whenever you draw a card +1/+0 until EOT' causing several separate triggers you need to resolve in online play? i hate this. i hate everything about it. 'what if ledger shredder but bad'? yeah fuck you cocksucker

Requesting a robot that is an unholy mix between Fisto from Fallout NV and HK-47 from KOTOR, hosting the soul of an ice elemental, hands stained brown (don't ask), black frame featuring a fire pattern like the one you see on those shitty hot rods, using a bone spear.Make it as edgy as possible.
>>92216749>shitty hot rodsFuck you.
>>92169507This is my first time drawfagging so it might take awhile but this is a WIP so far

Often it's a world lore thing that rarely impacts a game, but I think it can be an important aspect of characters. Just like in the real world, people will treat others differently depending on what they believe. What are your thoughts?
Our recent game is the first time ever, in all my years, that I've seen a lawful good religious order in the service of a chaotic evil "god".
>>92165068I'm thinking of having the major culture in my setting do ancestor worship, is there anything I need to consider?
>>92197331>if the algorithm made a mistake that's not on meYeah, it is. It's your job to verify. If you'd bothered to do that you would have found out it was actually right.>>92196708That image shows the most formal style of shinto robes and hat. The black colour tells you, well, it tells me, it clearly doesn't tell you or you wouldn't have spouted off, that it's for the highest rank.
>>92209484Like they willingly worship or serve it or do they think the "God" is actually a good one
For some reason, people seem to love both necromancy and skeletons and other undead in fantasy. I’m no exception, since the idea of spitting in death’s face appeals to me, and I’m a Diablo fan, but what’s your opinion on necromancers and their minions? Because we need more non-evil examples in my book. And besides what they’re like in your settings, if you have any art of them worth sharing, please do.
>>92206460mostly just playing a wizarding version of gomez addams>is a kooky, macabre, death-obsessed nut>coming from an entire kingdom of people who are equally as gothic and dark>necromancy is everywhere, skeletons in the streets, skeletons in the closet, skeletons out of the closet, skeletons in the attic, and its the most normal thing in the world to them (but it stinks to high heaven)>even non-magical skeletons are common, bone chairs are a best seller, bone handles and bone decorations on swords and axes>they think its weird that outsiders are so aghast at the idea of serving as an undead laborer after death, but are respectful of their beliefs even if they find it quite strange
Like when you have a massive forest of thousand-foot trees, there has to be scary shit living on the forest floor in the depths of the forest. "giant bear" "giant wolf" and "guy with antlers" are easy enough, but what else belongs there?
>>92219262Will o' the Wisps, skinwalkers, and hidebehinds. Lanky, gaunt creatures with hollow glassy eyes that slowly stalk, only to break out in a mad dash with a bone-chilling wail.Alternately, treat it like it's a deep sea. Have anglerfish-type creatures slowly roam the darkness with their head lamps, or have alien writhing plant creatures with no eyes that feel their way along the forest floor.
Finns, Brazilians, or Pygmies.
Tree Octopus.

>>92218421>If we're talking *my* linguistic preferences, that would be to give them a new neutral singular pronoun, from an old norse, old saxon or proto-germanic root, and adapt it's form the same way as other english grammar. You can make a new one for unknown people.For certain,Hit, Hits, Hir are indeterminate pronouns perfectly within the roots of English.>>92218421>So there's how I would have English be used, in an ideal world. In the world we live in,Some people make compromises at step A, some people at step B, some people at step Q.Moving toward the ideal should always be the goal. Failing that, maintaining what little shred of the ideal we have left.>and pronoun police singular they is not going anywhereIt damn well is, in my output.I would unironically rather use a construct like Xe than a plural pronoun with singular antecedents. Of course, a properly rooted one like Hit would be superior.
>>92218471>it damn well is, in my output.Do you use historical linguistic spellings or typical American ones?Eithwr way, you can write how you want in your output. Unless youre an employer forcing a style guide on your employees, you can't make anybody else write how you want though, they're going to yeet and fire and they and xpunk and 'factoid'* their little tide pod eating asses all over whatever they scribble down.* Okay, yes, factoid, like spunk, is not a tide pod eating zoomer problem, it's a case of the USA using very different standard definitions of words than the rest of the world but its still language degeneration.Maybe someday I will make a proper agglutinative English dictionary, and make some project that uses it (perhaps a ttrpg or a videogame). Shavian phonetic alphabet version optional. Separate the old English, Norman, Greek, Latin, and Old Norse origin words into different sections perhaps. Do the same with he affixes.But again, I can't make everyone else use that. And, in the meantime, I probably will continue to use indeterminate they, just as I have going back to early childhood.>Hit, Hits, and HirWould be perfectly reasonable though.

In almost all of my technical writing, I do my utmost to avoid mixing etymologies, or at least apply the proper etymology when several words of various ostensibly identical meanings could apply.>I probably will continue to use indeterminate they, just as I have going back to early childhood.At least thou knows the name of that which is poisoning you.>It's lack of proper historic rootwords bothers me. NGL.As it does for me, but I'd say proper grammar is more important than proper root, if I had to pick between the two.Though, grammar without word meaning is void of function so I can see an argument for the other side.
>>92183232I know you guys mostly make custom cards. How do you feel about gameplay variants, like a new take on vanguard cards, or a format variant where you don't put basic lands in your deck and you can just play a basic land of your choice instead of drawing a card at the start of your turn, or custom plane chase cards. Format brewing rather than set brewing. Would that be welcome here, or no?
Palladium Games and RiftsThe world is a broken, post-apocalyptic wasteland destroyed by the eruption of inter-dimensional portals, rifts in the fabric of space-time and ley lines which crisscross the world. Demon & alien invaders have poured out of the rifts to destroy human civilization and claim the Earth. Now the wasteland has had 300 years to partially recover, and civilization has returned to the world; but not just human civilization: alien empires, monster kingdoms, lost time travellers, lands of mutants, ninja villages, demonic overlords and wizards have arisen from the ashes, all trying to rebuild the world in their own image!Talk about:>RIFTS(tm)>Heroes Unlimited>Palladium Fantasy>Beyond the Supernatural>Dead Reign>Robotech (lol)>TMNT & Other Strangeness + After the Bomb>Ninjas & Superspies>Splicers>NightbaneComment too long.

Will 5e survive the new rules?
>>92219101probably, people still play all the other editions
>>92219101No. Because the new rules aren't 5e. 5.5 will survive though. Hell, it will be birthed.

>pieces have a range of movement in my new game>cAN I JuMp OvEr piECes?Why is this even a thing? No! you also can't put your pet dog on the board midgame... I will tell you if you can jump pieces and how.
>>92216377If you didn't need to explain it, then nobody would be confused by the rule. Good design creates zero ambiguity. I wouldn't expect someone stupid enough to shill using their real name on 4chan would get this, however.
>>92216377M-Y-----M = my pieceY = your piece- = blank spaceRules as written: Each piece can move up to 4 spaces per turn.therefore this is a legal move--YM----because my piece moved no more than 4 spaces.
>>92216377>so why would I need to explain that you can't jump over pieces? Because everyone has chess/checkers brainrot.It's fascinating to see someone who is simultaneously within grasping distance of the answer and also several miles away from it.
>>92216440I'm not shilling, just establishing my authority like I said. I have made many games with very difficult to explain rules. I have a game, Enclave that seriously looked like it could only be explained recursively and I resolved the problem. If someone asks if they can jump over things I just say no, but I don't confuse more reasonable abstract game enthusiasts by telling them they can't do a move that has nothing to do with the game and would ruin it if it did.

>>92219001They also made Soldier into a CON-key ability score class that starts Trained and is railroaded into using heavy weapons with a shitty blast radius lol, enjoy being a shitty space kineticist, wouldn't want you stepping on Daddy's Favorite Fighter's toes!https://downloads.paizo.com/Starfinder_Field_Test_1.pdfI really liked the way classes were designed in SF1E and 2e is an abject trainwreck from the point of view of anyone who liked them, they're basically all getting the Alchemist treatment
>>92219050>I really liked the way classes were designed in SF1E and 2e is an abject trainwreck from the point of view of anyone who liked them, they're basically all getting the Alchemist treatmentIt's funny because I actually think Envoy seems... Mostly improved, on a fundamental level? It needs some tune-ups still, but it just kind of at a core level functions better than in SF1e?Ancestry feats are personally frustrating because SOME of them are almost cool, but they are actually just unbalanced and shit.>>92218982Yea that's the point, the point is that 2e feats just fucking suck now. Like they even address the skill feat part a little by buffing group impression and making "diplomacy multiple people (with a -2 penalty to the roll)" a core part of Diplomacy, and it's still not enough
>>92219090See, I don't think influencing multiple people at once is generally even worth shit and isn't something I'd spend a feat on if I was playing a diplomat. In fact, I am playing a diplomat. I took hobnobber, glad hand and then a bunch of acrobatics feat that make my character survive in fights. The only situation I can really think of where group impression would be -needed- instead of just influencing the most powerful person in the room is when you're dealing with a council of people that have equal power.But if you're being presented a situation like that, fail, and then the GM is saying after the fact "Well, one of you should have picked this specific feat if you wanted a chance of success" then the GM has fucked up unless they've provided other avenues to succeed that don't require taking feats that will come up once or twice over a 1-20 run.
>>92219090Envoy is also massively cucked for no good reason. >Get Em is a -1 Circumstance Penalty to AC, straight up worse than just inflicting Off Guard/Flat-Footed of which there are quite literally hundreds of ways to do so in 2e already, many of which don't require any save or roll at all. why? fucking why?>Lead By Example is a +1 circumstance bonus to damage....Okay? I guess? But there's already other circumstance bonuses to damage that this won't work with, and it only works within 60 feet even though a fucking bow is 100 foot, there's pathfinder 2e weapons with a 200 foot range, why are scifi laserguns only effective at 60?>Size upwhy is this once per hour? again a fucking circumstance bonus? you can get permanent circumstance bonuses to many of these skills with a single familiar ability, in fact you can get a +2 circumstance bonus which is literally double this, and also unconditional. Why is this just a shittier Investigator lead? Investigator gets blanket +2 circumstance bonus from Pursue a Lead to everything involving their target, too. What is the point of this shit?Their 5th level class feature is literally a ONCE PER DAY fortune effect for a diplo/intim/deception check, and you HAVE to use it before actually making the roll. I'm sorry, WHAT? Why the fuck would you ever take this class?if you want to buff your allies with Circumstance bonuses play a fucking Gunslinger with Fake Out to give a PLUS FOUR bonus to their attack as a REACTION, then if you really wanna be a slut for support take One For All from Swashbuckler to give a second ally ANOTHER +4 to hit. Those are both better buffs than anything Envoy gives, you're still Legendary with weapons, and they actually stack with off-guard/flat-footed/feint/etc
>>92219218oh no I can't deny the math is just fucking wrong. I think the action economy of the class is theoretically better and more interesting, but the numbers are just fucking wrong for no reason. It's bewildering how scared they are of making something that might be better at buffing allies than Bard.
CUTE CUTE CUTE! editionPreviously on /bgg/: >>92177108Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/h8Tz2ze8Thread question: What's the cutest game you own?
>>92218071I should metion this isn't really profit either; that's just what the publisher gets from selling a game. Paying licence fees, artists/illustrators, translators, lectors, the designer etc isn't included
>>92212190Pamir but not Renaissance?
>>92218501Pamir's faction loyalty system looked interestingAlso, Pamir (the "easy" one) is too complicated for my current group so forget getting Renaissance
>>92218091Pretty much all those payments are one and done with no residual gains, so it's negligible in the long run. Yeah, it's a cost, but once paid you never pay again, however, you pay manufacturing and shipping EVERY time.
>>92219125Pax games are kinda shit to a lot of people. It isn't that they can't learn them, it's that the game isn't engaging/enjoyable enough for them to give a fuck about learning them.

http://live.shogi.or.jp/eiou/kifu/9/eiou202403190101.html https://abema.tv/now-on-air/shogi/ the final of the 9th Eiou tournament is about to be played. Playing sente is Takuya Nagase, gote Takumi Ito. The winner will face Sota Fujii in a best of 5 match. The time control is 3 hours per player, with 60 seconds per move after their main time runs out. These two players previously faced in the finals of the RyuOu tournament, where Ito beat Nagase 2-0 to win the match and challenge Fujii.
>>92217877a very strange position has arisen Ito's sacrificed his rook for two knights in hand and a promoted knight on the board.
