>>97097530they certainly arent the best faction in the game, and if you dont have Katakros to play then you're going to have a bad time. With Katakros however theyre a bit of a noob stomp army, to beat it you need to be smart to play around Katakros and maybe go for a double turn.But all of the elite armies are kinda like that, so dont feel bad when you win a wh game, cause generally ur opponent will be sad lel
>>97096439>DoK will be reworked into a more generic aelf faction.The leak for DoK is that they are getting rolled ino Malerion and his elves. No surprise as DoK are at the very bottom of ownership and popularity.
Now that the dust has settled, why did the Helsmiths of Hashut flop?
>>97097872all the age of sigmar people who are going to play the game at this point already have at least a couple armies

I want to design a sort of alchemy system where I can use the 12 zodiac signs + 5 weeks per month (4 monthly weeks + 1 full moon week), + 5 element types (4 greek elements + ether).But I want sort of have 256 goddesses that can be summoned using a combination of those 3 dates.What I want is more or less design a mythological system with a fake religion to justify this alchemical system to summon goddesses as some chemical periodic table of magical alchemy.
cute duck
>>97097092>12×5×5=300>256 goddessesI see why alchemy gets a bad rap.You just need to add 44 duds. If you get a dud you get a duck. Collect all 44 ducks, alive at the same time, to summon the secret Goddess.
>>97097462>secret goddessYou mean the 44 ducks that are actually the fragments of the one god of the setting. Them hoes got uppity and ducked him.
>>97097092Borrow chang's method to add more numbojumbo to your starology. >12 zodaic signs, not enough >Fire Tiger, Water Tiger, Wood Tiger, Earth Tiger, Metal tiger. Now add more elements until you get the number of goddesses you want. >void tiger, air tiger, silver tiger etc. So combining parts of the zodiac animal in question, with the right elements, in the right phases of the dingalongdays makes that goddess' duck quackers.

How is the current state of the cyoa 'community' compared to lets say 3 years ago? do you guys think there has been an healthy growth or a steady decline?
>>97097945Growth-ish. Maybe. 3 years ago was the multiplayer era yeah? /cyoag/ had very high engagement then, then we had a dead era after the split, and then entropist saved the thread, and we've been on and off since. Height of CC posting had mid-2022 /cyoag/ energy though
I still think this book was the best way to manage martials. 4e's "daily" powers etc for fighters made them all feel samey (at least on the surface). 5e's battle master has no scaling.I'm sure at this point we can all agree the Tome of Battle got too much flak.
>>970926814e was literally just taking TOM:Bo9S to its logical conclusion.Most of its systems are IN tome of battle, just not so prolifically.>>97096588>Like sorcerers gradually transforming into a dragon as they run out of spells, shifting from blaster to bruiser over the course of the day.that was 5e playtest iirc.>>97097426that's on players for never dipping wizard 1 on their fighters. No D&D character should ever be a total non-caster, only not primarily a caster.
>>97097510i mean, i keep seeing people post P&P stat sheets to unrelated questions, so maybe he's onto something?When did the game even come out, i'd literally never heard of it until like two months ago.Even their book covers just look like knockoff Mutants and Masterminds.Is it actually worth playing and has players, or is this just all a weird astroturf marketing campaign?
>>97097699what questions?
>>97093251Nah I got that, it was their damage tanking mechanic where they put all the incoming damage in a pool. Except iirc the pool ended up being way more deadly than just taking the damage because you could get double-tapped by damage from the current turn and damage from your pool. And then iirc they also got a boost to their damage output based on how much damage they had taken in the pool, so you're perversely encouraged to make that double-tap as deadly as possible.
>>97097884It’s just delaying the damage by a turn. You can heal it like normal damage. You’d take it anyways. There are many abilities the crusader has to reduce or heal as well. I’ve only ever seen it as a positive when I played crusader.

>>97089404(cont. >>97094454)A bit more.On the question of biology, I wanted to insist that natural mutation is incredibly slow and wouldn't give you any creative species even in a million of years.You are more likely to have a species of psychic hippy if they are the descendant of isolated scientists who, desperate for post-collapse survival, made themselves able to work with the local psychic-hippy animals.The more times you give also imply more chance for anyone to still hit a technological breakthrough that ruing everything.So for growth, I think you are better NOT WAITING until "every system is packed to capacity" but instead have a massive colonial wave of 90% poorly prepared settled, and having the first collapse shortly after.So you actually have gradual percentages of systems that are- wealhty and powerful- average and needing alliance- became primitive

Hi, I’m a new here. Got some experience hunting, but it’s the first time I’m trying to socialize with other hunters.I’ve done plenty of work in the past, mostly been employed by leeches, hunters and dogs.
>>97097604>>97097626Listen it's only kind of a sex thing. My Rival, curse her, boasted one time about choking a werewolf to death. She buried an axe in the fucker's throat and had to stay on top of him to keep the axe buried. Called it the biggest thrill of her life. I am pretty sure I chipped a tooth with how hard I was grinding my teeth that night. Also it's about the thrill. Playing the most dangerous game can get dull after a while. Isn't that why you moved onto "night" hunting? Fine. Okay, maybe, there is something about those big muscled forms that can get one all bothered and hot. It is not weird.My normal proclivities aside, I feel must mention again how weird I am finding your employer to be. I gotta imagine half the fun of acquiring the pelt is the hunt itself. The surge of energy and passion one normally gets from a hunt deepening into something more primeval as you rend the quarry's hide from slick and living body. In any case, I hope you were just imagining the guy in the market. It'd be quite frightful if something came back.>>97097793Hello. Always exciting to meet another hunter. Are you currently hunting anything?
>>97097604Yeah it's more of a snake thing. My magic isn't helping much at all, it's more utility than anything. Now that I got a lead I might be able to do something more effective.You might want to skip the tranqs & just blow that guy apart again but this time drag the body off to watch it for a bit>>97097626Probably those Ashwood freaks? Idk, they get their rocks off doing fucked up shit to monsters. It's best not to associate with these types. Especially when they can't even keep it in their pants on an online forum. Like, do we strangers really need to hear this guy gush & creaming his pants over some lady he saw on the train or at some party or whatever? I don't know about you but I ain't here to listen to voyeuristic bullshit.
>>97097876No, I’m currently looking for work after a leech prince tried to enslave me instead of paying me
>>97097793You were EMPLOYED by monsters? How's that work? You didn't hunt us did you?
This thread is all about solo games and campaigns. Midnight reading edition.>old thread >>96761554Resources: https://rentry.org/srpgghttps://infinityweavers.link/re-up/solo-rp-toolkitMore threads:https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/search/subject/%2Fsrpgg%2F/Thread Questions: How do you try to surprise yourself in solo games?
Although it's possible, I still prefer talking in character with another player. That's why I think the future of solo rp lies with AI chat bots. It's so perfect for the task.
Anyone played Choir of Flesh? I'm not familiar with the work is that writer, but a contained single book for solo seems nice
>>97092939I might try it now. It's a d20 system, but I can rip the details and play it in my own system of choice. Only $15, and its got settlement management so that's interesting.
>>97095302Not a big fan of d20, but I'll try a run or two to see how it plays. I more of a fan of typical more pulpy/classic settings, but, Blasphemous 1 is one of my favourite games aesthetically, and I really dig the world. Just a shame I have listened too much to the ost
>>97089642as I said I really don't care about the fantasy elements and most people seem to think shadowrun's a convoluted mess.Benn reading Cyberpunk RED and it doesn't seem like a good fit for single player due to how encounters are designed (not great for theatre of the mind) so I might try it anyway though.Either that or I either do CWN or force a d100 adaptation somehow

>>97097659i'll see if i can pick those up, i'm moving Ultimate Slayer main because it's good first or second compared to always boarding out DRNM or Evenly, I can't justify Evenly being a third of my deck budget
I only do Master Duel right now, but does Genesys change the game that much?
>>97097771No. Its literally the same thing except handtraps are even stronger.
>>97097771Yes it does. You can't cram 5+ engines into one deck and handtraps are less common (albeit not rare) because you need to balance between your engine and non-engine. The game does not change much for people playing their shitdecks, but it changes substantially for people that just want to play the latest meta.
What do you think of combat-focused games with encounter-building budget guidelines and the "dragons should be better" phenomenon?Some combat-focused games have encounter-building budget guidelines. Each monster has a "point cost" (specifics depend on the game). The GM adds up and references these "point costs" to roughly assess how easy or hard the fight will be.I have noticed that some games like to have dragons break those guidelines. For example, in D&D 3.5, dragons are infamously under-CRed. A fight with a dragon of CR X is, more likely than not, going to be significantly more difficult than a combat with some other monster of CR X.I have fought the various dragons of Draw Steel. I can safely say that they very much go above and beyond their listed "point costs." For example, I have found that the level 2 solo thorn dragon, brawling down on the ground without ever using its breath or flight, is a significantly more dangerous enemy ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JyrnHfZ1pUTCW4GJMtB-agThnhNjtaw9Dc39tJAqx5M/edit ) than the level 4 solo ashen hoarder or the level 4 solo manticore. (The upcoming adventure of Draw Steel, Dark Heart of the Wood, is currently set to culminate in a battle against a thorn dragon... under an open sky, in a vast map, with the PCs starting at least 20+ squares away from the dragon horizontally and at least 12+ squares vertically below.)13th Age 2e gives dragons significantly better numbers than other monsters of the same "point cost". The bestiary even says:>Freaking tough: We might have gotten the math "wrong" with these guys. Like we said, dragons have reason to believe they are the heroes. Remind the players that we didn’t even try to balance dragons, and their adventurers have the option to retreat.Justifications for this I see include "Dragons should intentionally break guidelines, because dragons are cool" and "PCs are supposed to fight a dragon super-duper prepared, and should never just randomly encounter one."
>>97092014We could do that by assigning more accurate point costs to dragons and advising GMs to field them as tough fights, right? Why do we need to trick GMs by undercosting dragons?
>>97091880I'd rather leave it to the cell-by-cell random generation procedure I create, opening up possibilities for enemy and environmental combinations I may not have thought of before.
>>97091880Largely depends on the goal of the points costing/CR system. Most ttrpgs aren't really wargames so the challenges aren't balanced in the sense of an even fight, they're designed around however many of those the party is suppose to be able to successfully defeat or win or whatever without it being too easy so everyone can feel good about themselves and get to the next story segment or whatever. If the measurement is a general guide as oppose to a well tested and mathed out measure then you likely still have some wiggleroom to make it work and the effects of the battle being quite difficult compared to others is as intended, its the high end of a range. Overall though, combat focused games with challenge ratings are trash and people need to either man up and do more free form kreigspiel combat as are accepting the consequences of it, or play a wargame. Designing a ttrpg as an analogue jrpg is lame as fuck.
>>97092048So that the GMs are taught that they can't rely on just banging stupid made up numbers together to create fun combat encounters and have to actually think about things, Edna.
>>97091880>game has specific guideline for calculating combat encounter strenght>but game purposely break this guideline for meta reasonsThat's an hallmark of a fecal rulesystem right there, either you give me the fucking tool or not, it's up to me to decide if using the shit. It's beyond me how this could be even acceptable by anyone.
Lets have a thread on big weapons. Any systems where this is possible? Do you prefer a "realistic" approach or do you prefer anime shenanigans? Are PCs even allowed to use large weapons on foot, for that matter?
Why would anyone use ludicrously sized swords if not going for an anime/jrpg feel? I mean, I can't think of any in western fantasy. The most is perhaps Warcraft's war hammers, but I bet it's more of a case of not doing math than wanting REALLY big weapons.
>>97097497because it's cool you lame faggot
>>97097497>>97097219Western Europeans thought huge swords were cool enough to spend shitloads of money having them built.
>>97097497It's a practical weapon for anyone who's abnormally strong, and anime/jrpg heroes often have higher stats than western fantasy heroes.
>>97097497In a horror campaign, it could accentuate the feel of being powerless against an inhumanly strong killer
