Any experiences with this? Any recommendations for it if you have played it?
>>97396547>directly stating I expect the approach to the goal is garbage is "defending" the systemNo, I am simply interested in honest assessments instead of knee-jerk Thing Bad.
>>97396521If your game design focus was to be as big a Jew as possible, your mechanics are probably shit. And like most Modiphius products, that's true here.
>>97396752>If your game design focus was to be as big a Jew as possibleAre you genuinely incapable of seeing any line between the rules content of the system and how it is sold?
>>97396723Survival could be interesting game play, but, in the scope of table top, the interesting thing is risk/reward management. Things like>Should we try to take the bandit camp, even though it's risky?>Should we keep travelling through the night to get away, even though it's dangerous?>Should we press on into the next settlement, even though it will stress our supplies?>Should we go one level deeper into the military complex, even though we are low on healing items?Fallout 2d20 doesn't do that. It's solely interested in recreating the explore-fight-loot-craft loop of fallout 4 and 76. The way it expects GMs to accomplish this is rolling up a stream of random encounters locations with random loot. It leads to a gameplay loop where players aren't making interesting survival decisions, they're going "let's keep going because I need 2 junk and 3 duct tape to make a scope that will give me a tiny bonus on my shooting."If you think that relentlessly exploring randomly generated scut encounters so you can collect junk sounds like an appealing ttrpg scenario, you shouldn't. You should want better things for yourself. It's fucking shovelware game design.
>>97396796Are you genuinely incapable of understanding why people wouldn't want to support a company, even spiritually, when they are so completely anti consumer as to sell an incomplete game? The core book is marketed as the only book you need to play the game, and then you find out that a competent integral to the design of the game isn't in said book.

>>97396756Being in balance with the universe and the Force being something Jedi fell out of as the war proceeded is a reasonable assumption.
>>97396756>a true follower of the Living Force.What does that mean?>>97396778So if you're a good person it tastes good?
>>97396778Probably the best exchange in regards of Jedi fighting for the Republic, at least in my personal opinion.
>>97396792>>97396789>>a true follower of the Living Force.>What does that mean?Basically, a Jedi listens to the Force and goes where the Force wants him to go, often leading to such a Jedi arriving at the right place at the right time, maybe even early, before they learn why they could be needed there, but they usually ARE needed there, sooner or later.And they operate like that rather than listening to the Council, and maybe would make decisions the Council would be against, especially if against what the Senate would want them to do, as Jedi often did things that were objectively wrong, all because those were the orders of the Senate, like the Khaleesh being the ones punished after the Huk War, only because they managed to push bugs back, take the war to their colony planets, but unlike the Huk, they were neither the part of the Republic nor in possession of important resources. Or Battle of Galidraan, where Mandalorians were framed, all so Jedi could be used to eliminate them.
>>97396856Those comics gave some fun memes and useful images.Also, one of design choices of Zao that I like is his lightsaber being mounted on top of a stick, which is rare in whole of Legends.

So my DND group was kind of disolving, 2 out of the 4 players left because of life issues (one got a job abroad and the other one is dealing with life), to keep playing we incorporated 2 new players with not so much experience but avid watchers of Critical Role.One of these player conditions was that we incorporate x cards to the game, she says that it makes it much more comfortable for her to know she can avoid unpleasant story elements having this tool. I started to read a bit about it online and is this something you guys have used? In my 20 years playing I've never used this.
>Character wants to explain their queer upbringing>X card it>Character attempts to resist rape>X card itI don't see the issue
>>97363372>>97363378The mistake was not vetting people who get to sit at your table, the only people at mine are those i know and get along with and know others at my table get along with. I never had to use X cards because of that.>>97363508It's just used by bad faith actors who want to co-opt other people's table where everyone else is having fun. If the only person who isn't getting along and having fun is you well the problem might be you not the other people.
>>97393888Theater also attracts narcissists. Outside of Shakespearean or period acting which attracts nerds and autists most mainstream theater is full of narcissistic retards that are all about their own success. A lot of the "professional rioters" we see in the US are also theater kids.
>>97379627A lot of west coast nerds are into the bdsm/poly scene because they don't get sex otherwise so I'm not surprised. A lot of nerds are also gay so all the gay sex culture is coming into mainstream rpg stuff now too. The whole consent shit is for hypergamic homosexuals and women who emulate homosexual male culture as a form of empowerment/equality.
>>97394269>A lot of west coast nerds are into the bdsm/poly scene because they don't get sex otherwiseThis is the saddest fucking thing honestly, seeing these Bay Area nerds justify to themselves how polyamory is ackchually rational or whatever so they can get sloppy thirds from the gawkiest looking dork bitches imaginable.
Now that he lost all credit for his scientific accomplishments, what exactly was the point of this guy? Like what purpose did he serve in his own empire?
>>97386773It's a question about a traditional game, there's nothing that says this board has to be crunch only.In fact, it was created as the 40k containment board, and most of the threads on /b/ (that /tg/ was created to contain!) weren't about the rules of the game.
>>97392148Dumbass
>>97392148The Roman Empire was not "founded" you retarded midwit, they didn't all just suddenly start calling themselves an Imperium. They literally kept referring to themselves as a Republic after Caesar took power and after Augustus succeeded him. Because both Julius and Augustus structured the Empire as the Republic 2.0, where the Senate would still do the majority of the governing, the courts would still settle all the disputes in the provinces, and the Imperator was nothing more than a permanent version of the previously temporary Praetor title. If you're referring to Augustus's civic reforms, he mostly targeted the rotten bureaucracy of Rome, kicking out the corrupt slime that were running its institutions and its temples. He did not make radical alterations to the Senate itself. There was no need.

What's the most "modern" a fantasy setting can feel without it feeling forced or weird?
>>97390879present-day, if you can write well
>>97392985The one with the axe is an engineer/sapper.
Depends on what makes a given individual feel like something is "forced" or "weird".
>>97390879Right now. Fantasy has always been about present times, it's not like if Tolkien did it mostly in not! late antiquity we need to be on his boat.

Do you read the source material or just let some e-celeb yawn on about whatever garbage they want to spin?
>>973949671e Mythic is brokenly overpowered and makes the game basically freeform if the GM doesn't want to arms race things to the point nobody is having fun anymore. It's funny but unsustainable if people are really trying.2e mythic is broken, underbaked, and boring. Nothing in 2e Mythic actually feels mythic. Mythic Proficiency is one of the worst thought out mechanics in the entire system. Mythic monster creation rules are actively anti-fun. Mythic player options are a joke and you're better off running regular ass free archetype most of the time.>>97388841I think the thing that gets me is that the "floor" of non-mythic competence in 2e is higher, but the highs are barely above that. It's real easy for EVERYONE to at least be passably competent and jumping around, climbing, and swimming, as you'd expect adventurers to be... But it's a monumental effort to get even slightly better than that, and 2e mythic basically doesn't even attempt to push that ceiling so it's a joke.
>>97395324Most of the time I see SF2e mentioned, it's either flat out treated as an expansion pack of PF2e, or it's people arguing about whether or not PF2e content should be factored in any discussions about it. The latter of which feels psychotic because paizo spent so long jerking off about compatibility and making sure classes didn't invalidate eachother by being too similar that no fucking SHIT I'm going factor the two together when talking about SF2e.I will die on the hill that Solarian, Envoy, and Operative are three of the worst designed classes in the combined system-at least Operative is STRONG in spite of missing the entire point of the original class, the other two have no excuse
>>97395324There's just not much to talk about it. All the interesting space content was pushed to this year, so it really is more an ex-pack for Pathfinder.>>97396517The most recent errata did help patch some of the more apparent issues with Operative, but it is still a bit messy. And Solarion is more an issue of having no good content to gel with its martial playstyle. Very vanilla, but easily addressed with feats and additional manifestations as more splats are released.Envoy, I got nothing. It really is just...not well-designed. They had something with the playtest, I don't know why Paizo seems hellbent on shooting themselves in the foot when they get a good idea.
>>97396604My issue with Operative is that it fundamentally is no longer the original premise of the class and the new version is strong in the most boring way possible. It isn't the class to be Han Solo anymore, it's the class to be John Halo. I get that 1e Operative was "too good at everything" but Jesus Fuck did you have to make the worst part of it the only part?Solarian just feels fundamentally designed wrong in ways I can only blame on sharing a book with 5 other classes. The Manifestation system being hardcoded instead of Modular and its KAS being locked to Str are intrinsically mistakes that put a choking leash on what should have been an exciting class.
>>97395324I'm the audience for starfinder 2e, but besides losing some of my interest for pathfinder in general lately some of the weird modern writing they're doing for the setting is souring my mood on it. I think 2e was a better approach than 1e did trying to make it its own weird thing but the mindset that lead to "doomscrolling" and "spoons" as feats clearly permeates all the new stuff they write and its just offputting. I still probably will either shill it to my group one day or port parts of the setting I like to another system one day.

>>97389576The new rules with the Confrontation esque dice system look cool from what little they've shown of it. They said that all models, including ones that couldn't be used earlier like the fallen divinity will be usable now which will be nice.

>>97395655Unironically this, though. It's just another ploy to take and hold ground in the culture war battlefield they've turned Warhammer into. Say what you will about his ideas, what you can't say about Carl is that he's insincere about the hobby and, unlike some of the freaks that post here, has actually shown models.Grifter is just a word that leftists use to project their own behavior onto others because to them it IS a grift. They can't imagine actually doing any of this for the love of the game.
>>97392674We're not the ICoG calm down
I was diving in the archives and discovered this thing that /tg/ made a long time ago. Catgirls + an underwater world. It looks like the project withered away and everyone involved left this board ten or so years ago. So, how was it? Did it ever get off the ground?
>>97395931/b/ is a containment board for newfags
>>97396105Irrelevant. This website has never been fast and loose with saying nigger *solely* to be edgy.
>>97396134Okay newfag
>>97374019The problem isn't the scraping. The problem is the people they're scraping for deciding to move in, who only knows it for those scraped moments, not the underlying culture and mindset that creates them.The newfags still occasionally parrot oldfag /tg/ memes. But they don't make new ones, because they aren't actually of us. They aren't proper newfags, they just new and fags. Given how long it's been, I can't really even say they're all that new. Our nest is full of cuckoos.
Okay, let's try to get this shit back on topic, you homo niggerfaggots.It seems like it's agreed that these four pics:>>97382575>>97373889>>97373364>>97382608are the original inspiration for the setting. Were they all drawn by the same person? I noticed that all but one of them feature the same waterbus sign, and the one the doesn't have the sign still shows the bus itself, with a consistent design. I'm sort of wondering whether this person ever produced more art in the setting, if so.
