Because Alpha Complex hating commies while being a command economy where the leader is your friend or else, there's only one political party, all citizens are equal but some are more equal (decided entirely by how trusted they are by the party), the most powerful are unfettered oligarchs with wealth the regular people can't even imagine, and the secret police have secret police is really funny.
Them hating "terrorists" while all those other things are true isn't. Also it's not any more contemporary than hating communists at this point.

Rosario Dawson was, in theory, perfect casting for Ahsoka. She's roughly the right age, she's got that ambiguously brown thing going and she's got the lips. Which makes her performance all the more disappointing.

Same anon still working on the wealth system. I've simplified it a bit by dropping significance. Currently it's
>Wealth level represented by die
>Everything has a die cost
>Your wealth >= cost you can afford it (maybe with a roll)
>Your wealth < cost, you can't afford it
Making money is similar with
>Your wealth <= treasure value, then it increases (maybe with a roll)
>Your wealth > treasure, the treasure is too small to change your finances
What's bothering me is someone who's broke with a d4 Wealth level and someone who's very well off with a d10 wealth level, increase by the same level if they find d12 worth of treasure. Something that turns a comfortable person rich also turns a broke person to just alright, which is really messing with my head.

I think putting all the variants in their own shared addendum is the answer. Thanks, anon. Continuing the theme of being overly verbose, does anyone have suggestions for how I can word this more succinctly? The idea is you can use the ability to say

Started fiddling with a little tableau builder thingy called Planet Cauldron, about witches travelling the cosmos to create more and more potent brews to fill a cauldron the size of a planet and awaken the thing inside it. Nothing too innovative about it, and nothing to go off in terms of mechanics yet since it'd all be in cards that I haven't made yet, but you can probably imagine the typical fare. Mostly just getting a second opinion on the theme of it before I bother going further, whether it feels too forced, too unfocused, etc. But otherwise, I'll happily take any other input if you can see something awful from the brief outline.

>First pitch they kind of hated it and were expecting a completely different type of different game, but gave decent feedback

C'est la something

>>93245300
Agreed to >>93246388
You have a theme underpinning your design so now your goal is to find what mechanics can tap it.
If it's grotesque then sacrificing, melding abilities, even the much maligned Lifedecking is appropriate.
If it's terror then uncertainty and tension of what your opponent can do is key.
For a dueling game, I always like to think about the immediacy of a the turn with the mana system and then the ultimate end condition they're working towards (wincons). Those two alone drastically affect the feel and tempo and separates MtG clones from others, even if it all comes back to "my card destroys yours". (Something like Keyforge has more shared DNA than other "Not Magic" games and yet feels totally different because of its tempo and wincons)

I got my EX06 box in this week and pulled a Lucemon Chaos Mode Alt Art. I was very happy. If I ended up getting a Diaboromon Alt Art and an Ogudomon it would have been the perfect box for me. I got most of the cards I wanted though.
That is the thing about Digimon boxes I noticed: I always feel satisfied opening one. I always get most of the cards I want, even if it isn't all the cards I want. At least that is compared to when I open Yugioh boxes where it usually isn't very satisfying.

Wait, the Queen created Locutus specifically to deal with humanity, tried to alter time to deal with humanity, and captured Seven to deal with humanity through a subtle nano-virus because direct assaults weren't working.

Are the Cybermen even a hivemind? Shit, they don't even seem to do much of anything with their organic components besides suppress them. They'd basically be better off as just robots, but then that eliminates the scary scary from them wanting to turn people into more Cybermen.

>>93254058
The borg instantaneously adapting has never been a thing. They take several shots to adapt to phasers, would probably adapt to physical projectiles (in fact the holographic bullets scene is an extremely improbable rule-of-cool moment rather than anything which would rationally work against an energy shield designed to stop particle beam weapons) and have been shown to take extended periods to adapt to or understand certain concepts - omega particles, unimatrix zero, and so on. This is in line with the original Starfleet understanding of the Borg gleaned from unprecedented access to their networks via Locutus, Data and the Enterprise-D computers, which was that it would be possible with the right kind of network access to introduce a destructive algorithm into the collective. That's in line both with Admiral Janeway's assimilation in Endgame (the neurolytic pathogen affects a key system to disrupt command and control of high-level functions), the original destruction of local wifi hotspots in Best of Both Worlds etc


The torpedo scene in Dark Frontier is very much a normal rate of adaptation: the borg of this vessel note the type of explosive and attempt to deactivate it rather than contain it (for all the power of the borg it's unlikely they can create a shield internal to the ship capable of containing a photon torpedo explosion in any case). But defusing a weapon takes time as, unlike simply assimilating a starship's controls (as we've seen on multiple occasions, with the assimilation rapidly spreading to apparently predetermined limits), interrupting an active antimatter weapon's operations may cause it to detonate prematurely. It's not merely a question of which wire to cut, and familiarity with the design only speeds the process but does not make the danger trivial - the anti-tamper failsafes in such a torpedo must be overcome correctly without even a microsecond of lag or it will detonate.

As far as I can recall the only drones the Borg Collective deliberately disconnected was by disconnecting them from their constituent atoms via self-destruct.

I'm surprised Hugh's individuality spread to the rest of his cube. This probably wouldn't have happened in Voyager, as that anon above says, but I'm not sure it's really an improvement. Voyager gave us the vinculum, which is a component of a cube that suppresses individual thoughts. I'd think it would make more sense to have the suppression done by the implants within each drone's skull, making it harder to fight against and drones rarely succeed in becoming a person again, but now it's external so any Borg outside the range of a vinculum just become people again. It's basically inevitable.

I preferred it when we could assume Picard was an easier (relatively) rescue because he was special and Locutus was meant to retain a degree of individuality. Even Hugh had to slowly be weaned onto the idea, and surprised Picard when he said "I" instead of "we". He never remembered who he used to be. Maybe like Seven he was too young when he was assimilated. Adults at least seem to recover better. I still hate it.

>>93253588

People don't "join" Khorne like it's a fucking local church or something. Chaos is a moral threat you fall to because you're screwed up and shortsighted in some way.

People who fall into Khorne worship are ultimately violent nihilistic people who just hate everything for whatever reason including themselves, see Angron. These people aren't thinking clearly and just want to vent their destructive rage on others. They're also obviously suicidal but have resolved to take as many with them as possible. A real world equivalent might a school shooter who just snaps one day, the type of soldier who decides to commit something like My Lai, the sort of dipshit who blows away his family and then himself...

He means that the sample size for intelligent talking human-shaped life forms is just 1 species (with our cousin-species coming close in almost every way). He's still full of crap, I'm not saying that all intelligent life has to be human-shaped, I'm saying the opposite. Nature as we know it doesn't produce anthropomorphic animals. If nature produced another intelligent animal (in its own time and in its own way) then it would probably look nothing like a human. We don't tell stories about anthropomorphic animals because they're plausible, we tell stories about anthropomorphic animals because they're cool, and in most cases the explanation is some magical or metaphysical humanoid-element which was used to create multiple species in the game world (and not just natural selection or convergent evolution). What I'm saying is that bird-people with boobs make at least as much sense as bird-people without boobs.

>I’ve never actually played much historical wargames even though that’s literally the main point of the genre
Most of his historical games are solo games. D-Day at Omaha Beach is great. So is Enenmy Action but that rulebook is THICK. I’ve also heard great things about RAF The Battle of Britain but I haven’t played it.

>>93251723
>Well done - just like what Americans thought really happened and not ineptitude by Howe and John Burgoyne.
Yeah I think Washington’s combat ratting is way overblown. Couple that with some insane dice rolls that let him use his full battle ratting in every battle he was in, him being the only American general to not suffer automatic winter attrition, and his insane winter offensive rule that gives him another bonus when it was the last card play of a turn, and he basically can turn every fight into a straight roll off with any British general.
I like the game a lot but I think it’d be a little more accurate if the other American generals (especially Greene) were a little better and Washington slightly worse.
