What are your solutions to getting enough space to play big games?Do you use an extendable table?A gaming table topper?Something that folds away?Any clever space saving solutions?Do you have a FLGS that rents table space out?Or do you live in a big american house and space isn't an issue?
I've got a table from https://firmerterra.com/I'm a homeowner, lol, with no place I'd like to put a permanent 6x4 table. The table in the link folds nicely to a size I can store under a piece of furniture or in a closet. Eventually, I'd like to be able to play massive games or games across two tables; a table that's portable let's me play in a few spaces in my home and even in the garage or outside. It's been more than good enough, and the gameboard easily survives some reasonable bumps. If youre into the citadel realm of battle tiles, just be aware they don't quite sit flat: I'm going to get a big gaming mat that should solve that, though
>>93238199This is actually based. This way if you're playing a smaller game you don't have to set them all up. I'm gonna do this or something like it
>>93245491Get 3 of these and have 2 horizontal with 1 vertical and it makes a 9'x6' tableYou got a warhammer board with border space, you got space for dnd and all your personal stuff on the edge

Llichdom is the coolest shit ever. Why play into boring tropes of immortality when you can represent someone denying the ravages of time as creatively as rotting into a literal skeleton obsessed with gathering magical power, becoming antithesis to all life? I don't give a shit about xianxia or gods, their immortality is boring, it has no story to tell.

>>93256494It looks a little thick, but you might be able to keep it. I find eyes easiest when done first, cus then I can just paint up to the socket rather than worrying about getting in the lines. For skin tone colors,you need to wait double the time you normally would for it to dry, that's the bumpy of skin tags from half dried paint being pulled by an impatient brush. For dudes, start with a tan undercoat, then mixed with rosy flesh before being mixed with whatever final tone you want. Cheeks and lips get an undercoat of rosy flesh with bearded/shaved areas a tan/brown. If you want to do a 5 o'clock shadow, layer of grey/brown mixed with the skin tone (depending on how heavy the stubble is) and finish off with a glaze of the skin tone

What's the best way to portray Satan, physically? As a horned demon? As a regular dude?
>>93257583an incorporeal aethersatan is a feeling. a confluence of event oft mistaken for "synchronicity". satan is like a general feeling of unease. something is off. satan isnt being. it is being itself.like a feeling of depersonalization or derealization
Angelic handsome man. He just feels like a generic baddie if he's a big horned monster guy, maybe that can be him after a transformation
>>93257583>What's the best way to portray Satan, physically? As a horned demon? As a regular dude?Devilman and LOTR got it right: physically an absolutely stunning, beautiful, androgynous/hermaphroditic being, that completely embodies the idea that when God said "let there be light", they meant Lucifer. Intelligent, eloquent, extremely charming and likable, but under direct scrutiny is a deeply flawed, selfish, entitled, desperately unhappy, lonely and confused, emotionally vulnerable man-child, who lives in a constant state of projecting the absolute worst onto everyone. Satan/Lucifer is extremely hyper-competent, an unquestionable savant, but at the same time completely crippled by their total lack of emotional intelligence, empathy, trust, and emotional vulnerability.It's kind of the idea that Satan is, in some aspects, simultaneously the weakest AND strongest 'Demon' in Hell because as powerful as they are: their fear of God, and their desire for forgiveness from God, is probably the greatest out of any Fallen Angel. For a lot of reasons, but the big one is that Lucifer acknowledges in some capacity that they're wrong, but won't ever conceded the point because they can't comprehend the infinite salvation and forgiveness of God, because Lucifer would never forgive Lucifer if they were God, so they just suffer.To such an extent that Lucifer *aggressively* can't even trust his own 'fellow' Fallen Angels because he's perpetually paranoid of them finding out he's a failure, a fraud, and a loser.
>>93257583A tiny black beetle, like an ugly little cockroach, something completely inconspicuous and unworthy of notice, that can cast a shadow on someone, making itself appear as something increasingly horrifying and large the more said person focuses on that and loses track of reality. The light of Jesus's presence doesn't leave shadows, so the satan is powerless whenever Jesus and his angels manifest, and thus pours all his effort into trying to make sure humans forget that's a thing that happens.>source?Have known people that have been demonically attacked spiritually or physically. One of the people I've known my whole life and trust most actually personally got attacked by satan and his angels in person in a no holds barred murder attempt. My guy literally laughed and sang through it cause the Holy Spirit showed up and no-sold the whole thing.Since then my dude's life, mental health, peace, habits etc. have all just soared in quality. He's stronger for what he's endured and said himself that he'd go through it all again (he's had attacks from the demonic all his life until this) to know Jesus as he now does. The devil was scared of mah boi for good reason. Tldr the devil is a cunt and subhuman scum and could not deserve he'll more. Total contempt for any media that tries to portray 'it' as likeable, impressive or as anything but the pathetic fucking loser he is.Christ is King.Down with satan.

Experienced my first Battletech moment today. Don't have a batrep for the whole game, but this moment is worth fictionalizing I think. Commander Rostov, having been ordered to clear out the city ahead of his client's advance led a Lance into the metropolis to flush out any defenders hiding inside, encountering a lance lead by a Crusader with an LRM carrier attached for fire support. As Commander Rostov engaged the Crusader he was outmaneuvered by the enemy Commando, who who managed to make it behind Rostov's Battlemaster. Seeing her commander's peril Mechwarrior Ha vaulted her Centurion up onto the rock outcrop separating her and the Commando and charged it with with autocannon blazing. Her assault was not enough to deter the enemy pilot however, who maintained fixated on the Battlemaster's vulnerable back whose armor had been stripped by a previous fall. The Commando launched an alpha strike, intent on crippling the Battlemaster, but failed to down the assault mech as right as he began to fire Mechwarrior Ha reached him took advantage of her elevated position to kick his head off. While the salvo still fired as the mech fell, it splashed harmlessly across the Battlemaster's legs. As the light mech fell Commander Rostov fired his PPC and medium lasers at the Crusader. The PPC shot went wide as the Crusader juked to the left, but Rostov managed to track the enemy mech with his medium lasers and raked 3 of them across its torso, one of which slipped through a flaw in the mechs armor and touched off its srm ammo bin, causing the heavy mech to go off like a firework and rain scrap and salvage across the street. In the course of a few seconds the enemy lance was reduced to just a Phoenix Hawk and a Centurion, and shortly thereafter when their LRM carrier was destroyed the remaining enemy mechs opened a channel to negotiate their surrender.TAC on the ammo bin and a lucky head kick took out two perfectly healthy mechs in the space of one turn.
>>93257509REEEE>>93257624Stop making me want to paint my shit in waterfluff colors.

>>93257786"Within the pouch around the bandit's neck you find a single silver obol. It is thinned from having been pressed and edges have been shaved down substantially. The face has been defaced by a relief of a woman's face, embossed perhaps from a matching raised sculpting. More roughly in common 'My Love Beryl' is scratched underneath.You do not think the coin will have much worth to any other save its thin silver-- though evidently pure by the detail it preserves. It will fetch an equal coin you think in exchange once you return to the city."It's not for me to decide whether or not your character feels guilty, but if the bandit had a wood carving, a polaroid photo or a smartphone with a pretty redhead and a baby on the front IS for me to decide as GM. I will tell you what does or does not exist in the world, that's my fucking job.

Swords are gained mostly by troops, but cards can provide swords as well.>every card you didn't play as an agent gets played as a reveal when your next turn comes around.

>>93257995Never played it solo, but that'd have been a very good score in mp.I do agree about it being stressful, and the interesting thing is that players seemingly appreciate the harsh nature of the game a lot despite or maybe because such a thing isn't used in nowadays games.Multiplayer agricola with draft is still one of the best euros out there, and, as I like to remind people in the "blocking is not interaction" debate, stuff like snatching a mere 3 food away from the player who thought he could wait a turn more and now has to starve can be way more brutal than any direct attack on my property I've suffered in other games.>>9325799151st state or wasteland express service come to mind, but both probably aren't what you are looking for; their themes doesn't go very deep if that makes sense

I am developing a bell-curve system (3d8) and think rolling characters is fun because it allows for unexpected character strengths and weaknesses. Who cares if the party is slightly imbalanced? RPGs are not for tryharding. With such a wealth of options on what you can do, surely you can think of something to do with your character even if they are a tad underpowered statistically speaking.Nevertheless, he is a mainstay around the table and says building a character is the far superior mechanic because it leaves less room for disappointment. He is worried about the potential of other characters outshining his even on the things he is meant to be good at. Despite my wholehearted disagreement with this on principle, I am trying my best to be accomodating because I assume he is not the only player who sees things this way in case something comes out of this.If I were to provide a way for people who wish to do so to build their characters instead, what is the best way of accomplishing this, considering the bell curve is not flat? Values further away from the mean become less likely, meaning higher attribute values should cost more if there is a way to "buy" attribute points. Otherwise, that skews the balance in favor of his kind of playstyle too much. I don't mind if it's a little imbalanced, but that seems very strong unless I limit it somehow. For reference, my attribute modifiers range from -5 to +5. 0 if the dice roll 13-14, 1 for 15-16, 2 for 17-18, and so on. Because they're essentially about genetics, attributes are pretty much set for a characters lifespan. Skills and talents exist to provide modification post-creation.
>>93257919If I can make a system that's around for 40 years, I will consider it a resounding success.
>>93250894>>93250861If you aren't running a game where random chargen is fun (like in MAID), then the game requires mechanics for bussing characters that got bad rolls.Alternatively, include some formula that can be used to point-buy duds up to the party's mean.
>>93257984GURPS 4th has been around for 20 years, sort of. It's honestly less popular today relative to its older variants.I wouldn't consider going bankrupt because nobody plays it a success by any measure, except that of the delusional.
>>93255231Do not try to argue logic with these retards. They don't care about potential edge cases, they care about not being able to game the system, not being able to force their min-max autism fueled by white-room theorycrafting, and having to play actual characters instead of numeric stat-blocks arbitrarily stacked.>>93254678>just roll with it?Imagine that.
