Nice, you found fitting images. Too bad about the genius thing.

11/10 would try to fix them.

I don't make CYOAs because I don't need to make CYOAs. As a highly imaginative person, I can already imagine them just fine in my head, without making them.
In fact, I don't need to make builds either. Again, I can imagine myself writing a build and what it would end up like.
Soon I will forego all action, until only breathing and staring remains.
And then I will turn to simulating them in my imagination as well. And I will simulate in my imagination the entire rest of my life. There is no need for further activity of my physical body.
This is how people with good imagination work. We are just built different.

iirc the pagan norsemen would probably be a good faction for that. Some worship hell but a lot of the pagans follow the old gods still.

>>97347714
Pagan Norsemen would be fun, in lore they could be raiding both Holy and heretic convoys, I imagine them like proper vikings except with submarines and dreadnoughts. On tabletop I'd give them a power from their worshipped God. Let's say having Ullr as your patron you can give a unit double movement once per game.

This is just what happens when you are forced to iterate on iconic designs. Mk IIIs update also suffered from this.

>D&D died soon as stranger things became turbo-gay and WOTC embraced the woke without realizing they're pandering to the 1% of the country that never plays tabletop games
I don't think that's true. I've never seen so many faggots outside RPG circles as I have within them. The hobby is pretty fruity, and when you look at prominent early figures like Jaquays or even Ed Greenwood's magical realm to things like RPG.net and other nerd hobby forums, I think it's safe to say that tabletop games were woke long before the cambrian explosion on tumblr.

I'd say the opposite is true. The 1% that bitches the most about these things are the rw guys who were either going to pirate it, or buy it anyway regardless of the grumbling. No real sense in pandering to rightoid cheapskates if you lose 10 people who pay 10x for every 1 rw culture warrior you bring in by pandering. The perennial problem with the right and the arts, is that they almost never put their money where their mouths are and support sympathetic artists.

>so if the Imperium ever figures out a truly safe form of faster-than-light travel, it would face horrific rebel problems all across the galaxy
...Why? I don't see the connection between the two.
>da emperor
99% of all humans in the imperium will never do any kind of FTL travel. Short of the FTL travel being zero cost teleportation, any kind of FTL would still be monopolized and controlled by the imperium, becauase they have all the money, resources and military might. Worship of the emperor wouldn't stop either, he would remain a god, he just wouldn't actually be doing anything.
> By contrast, the Imperium in 40k doesn’t have a rebel problem as severe as the Galactic Empire
Do the words "Horus Heresy" mean nothing to you?

>>97347172
>..Why? I don't see the connection between the two
Rebellion in the Imperium is already common, Life on many Imperial worlds is brutal, but because civilians lack access to FTL travel, they have nowhere to run. Most uprisings are forced to rely on the resources of a single world when Imperial reinforcements arrive, which makes them relatively easy to contain and crush.

If safe, reliable, and widely available FTL travel existed, rebels wouldn’t just be able to escape but be able to link up with resistance movements on other worlds. That turns isolated revolts into coordinated, multi-system rebellions.

>Do the words "Horus Heresy" mean nothing to you?

I mean Imperium in 40k

So you just made it up, because that was not old lore but some offhand comment in one of the late HH novels.

So, your proof is some sped-tier "logic" that basically denies that the creation of OD&D was possible? Look up the population of Lake Geneva in the 1970s, Anon. Gygax claimed that he DMed different groups 6-7 days a week in that town and that he ended up having so many different players that he had to get Rob Kuntz to co-DM the game with him to be able to handle all the interested players.

bumping so I can pitch in later, maybe.

and i know someone will argue 'West Marches' is ackshyually some 3.5/4E ingenious concept from that one blog because... you rotate GMs! ...there's unknown hexes! zomg.

that's just called 'D&D'. that's how you should be playing, if you follow the game rules. read the Expert half of B/X even if that's not the edition you're running.

I skimmed through it but it seems to be simply another map generator. I don't see the point of those, since its effectively the same as me creating one of my own (or use an existing one from previous campaigns, which is something I traditionally do)

>there's unknown hexes!
Whatever West Marches was originally is of little to no importance - what matters is what we make of it. I don't think that WM needs to be about hexcrawl, but I want my campaign to be a hexcrawl, and the unknown hexes aspect of it is the BIG thing that's getting me hyped about it. Traditionally, as the DM, I will prepare stuff and then more passively watch players go through it - its fun, but I've done it dozens of times. By generating hexes on the run, I'm hoping to be part of the discovery and enjoy the thrill of it

I've tested my hex generation procedure (explained here >>97335816), made some tweaks, probably will test it again by myself a bit more before running the test session this Thursday

Time for the "You are playing it wrong" post
Inspired by the post at >>97340961

Only roll when failing has an impact on the characters, even if its just taking up time or using resources. If failing doesn't mean anything, use the Auto Success mechanic as a basic threshold (or assume eventually rolling a 20 over 20 checks).

When exploring in dungeons or the wilderness, remember that travel speed matters. Exploration rounds take 1 minute each and you move at 10 times your speed per round. If you are travelling at a fast speed you move one third more but take -5 on your Perception checks. If you are travelling at a slow pace it is at two thirds normal pace but this lets you roll stealth (yes two thirds, not half speed).

Every action taken in Exploration takes one minute, that includes picking the lock, looking in one 10 foot square, or trying to break down the door.

When making Skill checks during Exploration, you are expected to keep the same check unless circumstances change. This include stealth and tracking. Stealth is made against the PASSIVE perception check of anyone that may see them, and failing that means they are on alert, they dont know you are there until they actively look. Roll another Stealth check against their ACTIVE check. Also Passive Perception is a floor, if you roll lower than this you use passive as your active result. This is confirmed as intended.

Darkvision makes things black and white and Dim Light. Dim Light gives disadvantage on perception checks, giving you -5 on your passive check. Similarly Advantage gives +5.

Long Rests give back half of your total Hit Dice, not all of them. Short Rest Hit Dice spending lets you spend one at a time. Yes, an hour of attempted Long Rest counts as a Short Rest.

I only allow people who have DMed before to play in my games. I have heard that there is a DM shortage and in my magnificent evil I have chosen to hoard DMs so that other players will have nothing! Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

>>97347964
Continued

Social Rolls are not mind control and have a very clearly defined chart. The DC is determined by their attitude and what you are asking them to give up in exchange. Buying their favour or saying something particularly persuasive in line with their goals (they want diplomacy, you offer peace for instance) can temporarily increase the attitude, conversely saying something offensive will lower the atiitude. Attitude also impacts the most they will be willing to risk in helping you.

A Long Rest consists of 2 hours of Light Activity and up to just under an hour of Strenuous Activity (Walking fighting and casting a spell). You can have these split through out your 8 hour rest period, so yes this means during your long rest you can cast spells but if your total exertion time is over 1 hour, or 2 hours for light activity, you must start again.

A natural 20 and natural 1 does impact Skill rolls. If a check would succeed and you roll a 20, it is a greater success than normal. Failing and rolling a 1 gives a worse result. You may also opt for a success with a cost on checks that fail by 1 or 2 points.

Mob mechanics exist for swarms of small guys and mooks. Read them.

Creatures count as cover for ranged attacks.

The Difficulty chart goes from 5 to 30. RAW 30 is the highest difficulty any check that isn't opposed can be.
