>>97375065>Bro, it's cool that everyone powerful sat on their hands in your gamesThey had their own goals and adventures to go on, so they sent their allies and students to push their agenda. I guess I'm just finding it hard to envision a game where every other session, Raksi decides to pack up and leave Mahalanka to bother you in Great Forks or whatever it is you've experienced.>>97375084>3e has the opposite problem from 1e/2e here. Their elders and 'powerful' characters die to chargen PCs and there is nothing to challenge a meaningful party"Chargen PC" encompasses such a broad variety of concepts that you should really be more specific. Are we comparing Anys Syn to the Dawn player who has bought every possible combat-related charm he could or are we comparing her to the player that built an Eclipse with Silver Voiced Nightingale Style and two Dodge Charms?
>>97375542Essence is the simplified version of 3e.ExVsWoD is the unofficial crossover with World of Darkness, if your table is familiar with WoD, it would work as an entry point.
>>97375557Not that familiar with WoD, only one of us played it. I will check Essence and the Quickstarts then, thanks anon
>>97375601Essence has all splats, so you will not have to buy/download the splat books.
>>97375624Well that just makes it the best choice to start out I suppose.
Previous thread: >>97295718GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.Thread question: what's the best classic GURPS cover art?
just seen pic rel.lolhow is this supposed to count as a good revised version? Is this really the best layout design they can come up with in 2026?
>>97374698>somehow made it look worseI prefer outdated thanks. That's just vomit.This confirms my Kromm was never a good editor theory and just piggybacked off of goated authors.
>>97374698This is the professional editing work that is so limited and valuable that vehicles 4e had to die for.

I'm starting back on Solo gaming. I was wondering if their has been any new rules created that emulate War Law from Rolemaster

>>97373367Oh actually that was a fun take on Chaoskampf. The Sky King with Lightning casting down the Serpent of Evil
>>97375204
>>97375198NB is kinda ass at that when it comes to gunsSometimes it works great and other times it just pastes the image on like a shitty photoshop>>97374677All the better to cuddle with, winters are cold>tfw no fuzzy gf
>>97372976"moroboshi kirari" tag + https://civitai.com/models/1170176/diving-illustrious-anime?modelVersionId=2339212That'll pretty much get you there.
>>97374283One thing I have noticed with Bing in particular is that, unlike other models, it seems to give equal weight to every facet of your description. For example, you'll notice that pretty much all of the pics in my collage are relatively close-up; this is by design, because when describing Auré's eyes, if the image was further away, it would spend so much effort trying to include that detail (when it would be hard to see from a distance) that the rest of the image would suffer as a result. In those cases, I would either leave out that detail (her eyes don't matter if the view is from behind or the side, etc), or have her eyes be closed, and the average image quality would improve significantly.In short, look for the details that might be working against you, gauge whether or not they're important, and excise or modify them.Also, being succinct helps. The way some people craft prompts seem like short stories. Each of these prompts below will get you the same basic result, but save you a lot of prompt space (which, with Bing, matters):> she has long, luscious flowing black hair, tied in a ponytail, with short bangs>black hair bangs ponytail
>>97375519Pretty much my experience of Age of Sigmar when I thought I'd try it just after 2nd edition released. Had a couple games of getting raped by lists consisting of entirely of stormfiends with warpfire throwers or minmaxed sea elves before I stopped bothering lol.
>>97321576That is incorrect. 40k didn't overtake Fantasy until the Lord of the Rings years, I would hazard around 2005, and at that point MESBG was so massive it was far bigger than any of those 2. It was after 2007-2008 that 40k became the most played one, when both MESBG and Fantasy had shit editions that started forcing larger armies and nearly doubled the monetary cost of regiments.
>>97374119I like modernized versions of space crusade/rogue trader era marines, but a big part of it is my dislike for painting trim. But that kit of 3rd ed chaos marines does evoke strong feelings of nostalgia for me.
>>97324523Pure thruthium.
>>97324523Demonically based.>>97324957same but I started in early 8th. I got to see all the things I liked about the game get taken away very quickly lmao.
Tabletop RPGs tend to split up crafting into a high number of crafting subskills for every individual area of expertise. There's no question that crafting is still extremely powerful despite forcing you to go through this hassle, but what are your thoughts on which particular crafting subskills tend to be the most useful in the context of a TTRPG campaign, be it a medieval or modern or sci-fi setting?Pic related is from Legend of the Five Rings, where I'll be playing a crafter soon, and I intend to invest heavily into crafting. But feel free to talk about any game you've had experience with.
>>97373279Meme non-issue.
>>97362482TRUE Crafting is usually immensely autistic and a lot of people who try to get into crafting end up not being autistic enough to actually handle the system.My homebrew solution is just letting players harvest monster materials and crafting anything from the item list up to a certain rarity as long as the materials/reagents are thematically fitting. Powdered hellhound fangs for fire daggers, tanned elf skin for a cloak of elvenkind, crystallized beholder eyes for various Ray Wands, etc.
>>97373306Only to people who have more immediate issues.
>>97373288>it's actually himJust feign ignorance next time, dude. No one here knows who the fuck anyone really is (even the regulars could be copycats). There's really no need to permanently link yourself back to that one autistic melty.Oh wait shit sorry I mean>nope, I win you lose!
>>97362583I think an even bigger issue is a lot of systems also don't really have systems for crafting higher quality weapons/armor as well. Like, I don't recall there being rules for making a +2 sword in DnD
Based uhh... *checks notes*Based Games Workshop?!
>>97370258
>>97373683That's a lot of text for a post that won't matter.
>>97373937Explain to me how this is bait.Or do you say that to all opinions you don't like?
>>97362737>spiderman and elsa from frozen celebrating christmasI'd watch that Christmas special
>>97368051>It's not really controversial to want some measures against creating fake cpRight. At issue is Grok has no such measures and no plans to implement such measures.Play stupid games win stupid prizes.>Using that issue to wage war against AI in general is just silly though. You can use the exact same logic to ban printers, cameras or pencils.In this case a not insignificant portion of the work product is sexualizing people without their consent. Not really comparable. If cameras were primarily used for illicit purposes, you can bet your ass they'd be more regulated.
Have any of you ran your players through the Theater Kid Wood Chipper? How many of them tried to stick something in Acererak's mouth?
>>97375286no, thats basically every game. people will do the bare minimum, or the most consistent course of action if they are boring, or uninterested.
>>97374144To maximize the number of kids who can excitedly tell their peers they played with Gygax at Gencon.
>>97374676oh no, not playing the game! anything but that!
>>97374022Friend of mine had his entire 5e group tpk into the green devil face. They just climbed up and in one by one and thought it was going to be a delayed epic reveal. I think he fucked up in not just disintegrating the front half of the first player character but either way it went terribly and everyone was mad except him, who was just flat out bewildered at how no one had thought about it at all.
>>97374022No, and neither have you.
About a decade ago we got a rumour that the Primarchs would come back (before it actually started happening).Part of that rumour was that one loyalist would turn traitor and one traitor would become a loyalist.So who's it gonna be?Picture potentially related, Angron for ants.
>>97374346Marvel is way too far divorced from actual Norse myth to have the same effect.
>>97374568So is Dad of Soi. Both are just pop-Norse caricature with a hefty dose of DEI thrown in.
>>97374578>So is Dad of Soi. Both are just pop-Norse caricature with a hefty dose of DEI thrown in.By modern standards, God of war a very accurate depiction of norse mythology and not that much browns thrown into the mix, tbf

Do eugenics even make sense without race theory, 18th century taxomy, 19th century scientific racism, gene theory and that sort of stuff?
>Open drawing program to finally begin my map>Draw a coastline>Don't really like it>Move on to a more stylistic design instead, drawing a mountain mesa>Lines look like absolute shit>Close drawing programLooks like I'm not doing any worldbuilding this week!
>>97375298The Spartans (allegedly) practiced it, thousands of years before any of that, so yes.
>>97374829The big issue with eugenics is that humans mature and breed so slowly that by the time you notice the positive traits you were selecting for also has some really nasty side-effect it'll be too late to easily fix it. Though with modern gene-sequencing technology that would be less of an issue, since you could just genetically screen people to ensure the genes that lead to enhanced strength or intellect don't also cause your heart to explode when you turn 20. Though at that point you might as well not rely on random and clumsy natural mutations and just use genetic engineering to create a race of supermen (possibly to conquer the world?).>>97375067IIRC downs syndrome isn't actually a hereditary condition, but something that happens when something randomly goes wrong with early embryonic development and results in a duplicate set of chromosomes which screws up the proper development of the embryo. You could prevent people with it from being born by aborting any fetus with the syndrome, and the odds of it occurring is to some degree tied to things like the mother's age and exposure to mutagenic chemicals, but it's basically always a random chance that it occurs so you can't really remove it from the gene pool.Hereditary diabetes (as opposed to the one caused by improper diet) tends to onset relatively late, so most of the time people already had children by the times the symptoms started to show up, and when the average life-expectancy was lower the difference it made to your lifespan wasn't that great. In modern times it's easily medicated so the effect on your lifespan and ability to reproduce is minimal.
>>97375298>Do eugenics even make sense without race theory, 18th century taxomy, 19th century scientific racism, gene theory and that sort of stuff?Depends on what you mean by eugenics and what you mean by make sense. Selective breeding goes back thousands of fucking years, but without modern science, any breeding program applied to humans isn't really going to be selecting for "good genes".
The original Dark Erufu EditionDiscuss elves.Post elves.Love elves.All elf lore, game stories art and any else that's elfy is all appreciated.Thread question: Do you prefer your elves as fallen empire from the past or as dominant and hegemonic entity in your world? previous thread: >>97318413
>>97374926Armor interferes with the flow of the winds of magic. You suffer a malus to casting spells and channeling spells in WFRP while wearing armor, based on the most protective armor.However, not for all spheres of magic. You can cast spells of the lore of beasts while wearing leather armor without a malus. And spells of the lore of metal while wearing anything metal.It's a pretty hefty malus. If your character is really good at spellcasting, he may start to just take it and wear armor regardless (and elves are really good mages). However, it shouldn't really be worth it. Unless you are a wizard ascribing to the aforementioned lores.Unfunny fun fact: your wizard is supposed to dress in a way that fits his chosen lore of magic. There is no mechanic for that, it's more flavor. But in general, what your character wears can help or hinder the flow of the winds.High Elves can eventually learn all winds of magic, so they may end up looking just wizard-like.This post will be ignored, but that anon will reply to the shitpost
>>97374972>post will be ignoredNot if I can help it!I can't, but I did try.
>>97374972I did infactnot ignore itbut i did giggle about the shitpostAnd why the fuck is teclis fully armored? he doesnt give a flying fuck about armorAnyway follow up question the pic i postedShould elves and dragons be bffs like in warhammer? or should magical creatures not give a flying fuck about the other races and friendship and just do what they magical creatures doafter all dragons and other magical beings can be quite the trouble I personally like the idea of (elven) druids being the only ones with the bff status maybe
>>97374267It's more like they just see them as subcreations.
>>97375448>And why the fuck is teclis fully armored?Worth noting that he's a wargame character, and these rules apply to the RPG. The wargame doesn't really care about such minutiae. And he doesn't seem "fully armored" either. It's a magical helmet, a breastplate, some greaves.And I really don't remember anything specific about his armor, sorry. Despite having read some of these books. Applying the aforementioned rules, it can be a case of simply taking the malus to spellcasting for the extra protection, and he's a good enough wizard to take this trade-off.>Should elves and dragons be bffs like in warhammer?There is no "should". Both are ancient, magical, power (maybe once) and proud race. Good enough reasons for either being allies or enemies. Depends on the setting, both can be justified.
He is basically the antichrist.
>>97349107Correct. The Warhammer 40,000 world is basically a punishment being handed down to a fool that has eliminated Christianity in his universe. He will suffer on that chair forever.
>>97375344>a ficticious evil empire doing the same thing.Deporting foreigners trying to destroy your people, family and traditions makes you a good empire, not an evil empire.Except, of course, to the foreigner.
>>97375473None of that describes the Imperium lr Christians gripes with Rome you retarded election tourist, neck yourself the adults are talking.
>>97375487foreigner detected
>>97349107So he planned to make all agri-worlds farm corn?
what's the best tabletop rpg if I want to make a campaign that's basically a shonen anime style tournament?
>>97373930Mutants & Masterminds. It allows for insane builds, so make sure to do a session 0 to make sure everyone buolds characters that operate in the intended setting. You can build a guy at Power Level 1 who can open a dimensional rift, shove someone in there and close it, trapping them forever. To avoid this make sure everyone is on the same page.
>>97375366Combat teleporting is underrated, I wanted to find a system that allows me to open tso adjacent portals, shove a guy into them and have him get bisected.
>>97374143Ok, 5E it is
>>97374341>>97374447In a Star Wars game, my gang of goons and I set up a fight pit next to the bar we used as our base of operations, and the GM found not only a way to balance something like that for the powerlevels FFG put us at, but also to include the whole party in the matches, even when none of us were competing. Everyone could choose to do something to affect the fight: observe one side's weaknesses, sabotage the fighter they didn't want to win, get the audience cheering for their chosen fighter, etc. and it would give bonuses to one side or the other. When it came time for the dice to fall, the party's efforts heavily affected the outcome.
>>97375504The audience cheering is a nice touch, not that appropriate in a samurai duel at court maybe, but I can spin it as someone important to the duelists either looking at them approvingly or glaring at them in disappointment.
