"I like games." - (You)Previous: >>96726837This general encompasses all board game genres - Eurogames, Ameritrash, Ameritreasure, Fillers, Party, Abstracts, Wargames, and especially the game that one anon is autistic about at this very moment.TQs:- What's your favorite spinoff? (card version, dice version, retheme, remake, reimplementation, etc)- Any spinoff that you consider better than the original?- What new spinoff would you like to see? Bonus:- What OOP game deserves a new reprint?
Anons that like Spirit island what is you opinion on Pandemic games (including the new derivatives)? Do you enjoy any of them?
>>96746835Ive never felt interested in playing Pandemic
>>96746824Stonemaier announces games when they're like 1 month away from release.
I've noticed I'm spending more time researching games, discussing games, and thinking about games than actually playing games. wtf

>>96746917Welcome to BritishTech! Reason that the late succession wars devolved into light skirmishes and raids is because everyone had to stop for tea breaks!
>>96746542All I recognize is the stakler
>>96746886>Fuck is every faction in Battletech just a different time period of British?Nah, once you get into the house books, only the Kuritas consistently remain imperial Japan in space. Everybody else is a weird future history thing that really doesn't resemble any current year or past place.

>evil dark lord king of evil is evil and thus does bad, immoral, reprehensible things>"WAHHH YOU CANT INCLUDE THEMES LIKE THIS IN YOUR GAME DONT YOU KNOW HOW TRIGGERING THAT IS AND HOW BAD IT IS AND HOW EVIL AND WRONG IT IS NOBODY SHOULD EVER SAY THESE THINGS EVER">this same player gleefully boasted about decapitating 16 goblins and leaving the goblin children to starveWhy are modern TTRPG players like this
>>96735746Yeah this is the thing I find so fucking retarded about the way many stories are written today, and I find it even more egregious when people flip like this over tabletop games.
>>96738838I have 3 actual friends and the rest of my "friends" are only considered such because I went to middle school with them, and most of them are confirmed to be very woke (and I went to an extremely pozzed Bay Area middle school which endorsed 5th graders trooning out but suspended me for mocking the Multiple Intelligences Theory so the rest probably also are), and the few of them who actually are interested in TTRPGs either are autistic tomboys tricked into being nonbinary or only play 5e. My college has a board gaming club, but they love the x-card and PBTA-esque games, and they only play Pathfinder 2e, not pathfinder 1e. The closest potential players who would be interested in playing a morally complex game (i.e. D&D with a canonically appropriate level of grimness according to Dragon Magazine #300) are one of said autistic tomboys who posts on giantitp and who I played Arcana Unearthed with once but the game was cancelled due to scheduling, and a long-term friend who doesn't play D&D but is descended from someone who played AD&D, and who has ADHD. If I made a social mistake around either of them (very likely if I ran an edgy game, since I am also somewhat neurodivergent), I would probably not be forgiven.
>>96713768>>96715502It's kinda fascinating how that meme always gets posted by the very people who do that in the first place and there is not even the tiniest hint of self-awareness there. And that's the entire modus operandi of these people now - after-the-fact argumentation, where they draw the line of ignorance in the sand in front of their own feet, as though they pretesent the status quo and not the ones who fucked shit up to begin with. If any criticism in their over-the-top sensibility bullshit is made now, they will look you straight in the eye and tell you, that you are in fact the "snowflake" for not wanting disclaimers, trigger warnings and safety-washed fluff in everything that isn't your private table at home.

I get that not every bad guy needs to be wholly, irredeemably and monstrously evil. I get that not every bad guy needs to indulge in really off-putting things. But it works the other way around. Sometimes, a story just works better when the villain isn't safe evil.

>>96745715What do you do when you get a hole?Me I run a cleaning run so the hole is closed by cured resin and carefully lift it up with something ready to stop spills and dump the resin back into the bottle through a filter.Many people did not manage that and spilled 1L of resin into their machines. The elegoo reddit was full of those guys, and loads of people got afraid to buy the machine because all they see is the few people who fuck up, not the loads of people who print fine and never write about it.And I would say, tuning a FDM printer is harder but is getting better with modern machines.
>>96745776>What do you do when you get a hole?Are you talking about hollow prints? Or a hole in your FEP? Either way, just do significant research before purchase / printing something new like a hollow print, and these issues should literally never arise.>dump the resin back into the bottle through a filter.I use a turkey baster to remove resin from the vat and put it in the bottle. I never remove the vat from the machine unless I am changing the FEP.
>>96726200They're pretty cool ngl
Recently got back into printing and have a qq for you guys- I have a Mars 3 pro which I've had for about 3 years now with no parts replaced but the occasional tray and arm, and around the edges of my plate my prints have been coming out fine, but towards the center holes get filled in/details get blurred. I adjusted the exposure time & thickened the layers from .042 to .050 to make things come out cleaner, which seems to have helped, but not things in the center are starting to get bent/contorted now, with occassional layer failue mid print. Could this be a temperature problem with the resin, maybe my light or something is just fucked on account of the printer being a little old?
>>96742339I use an airtight grow tent and just open the windows with a fan when I take out the stuff. Tho my room is basically a wind tunnel

>>96746904Yeah try Sora, chatGPT has let me down for gory stuff. I wanted to make my own little bestiary showcasing trolls literally beating the shit out of warriors but it's against their content policies and someone here said Sora doesn't care to create such images. Let me/us know if you're able to.Like the troll in your picture is munching on the archer's head or stuff like that.

>>96745502Nta, but something something god actually ASMRing evil in their minds, something something evil and good are physical-magical-divine particles rather then just concepts, something something hard to resist evil not because "where are my grandchildren" verbally pressing society but because it literally is in the blood and actually grows as you do more evil?
>>96742082>Ghosts can do a shitton of scary things.It is not that I want generic "scary things", it's that I want specific non-asshole Negative Energy effects as an Undead's "thing". I actually started with thinking about stuffing such into the Ghost special ability list for the "spirit of a loved one protecting/empowering you" trope, but distinct Undead allows use without other Ghost properties like the requirement for a relatively specific cause to linger, incorporeality, or the roll on reforming after destruction.>>96745326The point is that killing things is not the sole effect of Negative Energy, nor is it a universal compulsion or a universally Evil act. Ghosts and Ghost Brutes have specific leftovers from life, Spectral Savants and Necropolitans have no apparent problems behaving as normal people, a bunch just have really unsavory diets complete with cessation of animation if unfulfilled.Given the carveout for Slaad and Tirbana reproduction, you can get away with quite a lot of dickishness in being required to use a non-lethal Negative Energy effect without an Always Evil Alignment.
Anyone have that picture of the iconic halfling rogue girl comparing the tattoo on her hip with a marking on a statue? It's infamous for looking like she's getting ready to use it as a giant stone dildo.

Planeswalkers were a solid effort to tie colors to identities in a way that was relatable to your casual/normie fan, but then they published a trillion of them and shit the bed repeatedly by not keeping the story a grounded, character-driven drama between five personifications of the colors.
>>96746925
>>96745721>>96746060But on the other hand those "great men" wouldn't have needed to come up with ideas such as Mythics, Commander focused cards and Universes Beyond if investor pressure wasn't screaming at them to come up with more ways to make profits. Even if those two guys you hate were not in charge of MtG someone would likely have come up with and put into practice those ideas anyways.

>>96738464The "basics" of it are pretty simple, just do an 2 purple roll with the appropriate skill, with a talent giving damage for ranks in the skill. I guess you could do a Knowledge (Sex) skill too, but I don't see much value in it outside of this purpose so I haven't. The defender has a Soak equivalent coming from Willpower and a pleasure threshold. If a lewd skill is used on someone, all non-lewd skills have the difficulty increased by one. They'll have a harder time negotiating while also having the sex done on them. I guess you could also just do an upgrade, but I don't care enough to figure out if it's balanced yet. Since I like the idea of fucking someone into submission, I let the overflow from pleasure threshold spill into Strain, and then it's just the normal social compromise/capitulation rules. There's also turn on/offs, mirroring Motivations.The jank comes from me trying out different things for maneuvers, because there's not as many mechanical reasons to use them because rangebands don't exist. I'm also adding new talents as I think of something neat. The best part is I can call it Genesex if I ever release it.
Some RPGs have (or had) sexy mainstream official art. Perhaps there were images that made you wonder about such nice views existing within those settings?Planescape apparently had that hot piece of ass in pic related walking around in Sigil.I remember from D&D 3e there were some very interesting depictions of women in a variety of books, specially those black and white supplements like Quintessential Rogue and the like.

>>96743869I ask partially because this would be a great in-setting mystery, especially if a villain is trying to solve it for their own dark purposes.

So many things could be done, so many ways to use plant control, and so many interpretations of what it means, to control plants.Like, can you grow them into dense armor plates, or make them form blades, or deposit explosive compounds inside themselves?It's why I like more well-defined powers — the smaller scope lends itself well to predicting possible uses, and how they could be augmented technologically.If anything, I'd assume the plant manipulator would rely mostly on homegrown cultures, rather than pack lots of equipment.Comment too long.

>>96743642>darkness powersI think defining what they actually do would help get things moving. Darkness, as in absence of light?Can you use it to suppress more than just like, creating an area utterly devoid of photons, and thus, the fundamental electromagnetic interaction?If nothing else, it would explain why the "darkness element" was always depicted as extremely destructive — it literally disintegrates matter on a molecular level!I think that whatever augmentation is used with such power would be mostly about supporting the person wielding it, rather than boosting the power itself.>inb4: like what?Grappling hooks, jet boots — mobility stuff. If your power is quickly disintegrating stuff, you may end up losing your footing as things start to collapse. Mobility may help you avoid getting buried under the rubble.Air supply is a must. It's scary just how easy would it be to turn surrounding air highly corrosive and toxic. A nasty fucking "element", if you think about it.

Have you ever mechanically justified the traps in your game instead of explaining them using magic? For example, a spring-loaded piston that launches mold, or only including melee weapon traps right next to doors/in hallways (since otherwise they need to either be an area effect sweep or magically guided to actually hit their targets). A trap I actually used in a game was a pool of water with a thin layer of oil above it, with a Kobold holding a tindertwig behind a secret door waiting for a group to wade through it.>inb4 someone mentions the tiktok reference
>>96745654Pop culture the whole way through, relying entirely on the modern audience's familiarity with Tiktok the video platform to make the "joke" that instead of taking her idea from randos on the internet Senri is instead talking about the character Tik-Tok from Ozma of Oz who is generally competent but sometimes a bit literal-minded due to being a machine.In other words, it's a bad joke.

>>96741569It's a reference to the "elf slave, wat do?" meme as well as the concept of kajirae.
In your games, what would consequences would you describe to a player who is incapacitated but not killed by a monster such as a Drow or Succubus?
>>96741585What monster girls fit your aesthetic specifically then?

Now that all his scientific achievements got stolen, what the fuck is even the point of this guy? Apparently his only special ability is making himself look taller?
>>96746815The Emperor should've just genetically engineered humans into being blanks, or at least having dull resistant souls like the Tau and Votann.
>>96746818did he, really?
>>96746827Making everybody blanks or dim souled humans seem like an obvious solution at fist glance. But there's something about making humans purely material beings that Big E must have not liked or seen as a dead end. Maybe because that would make humans still phisically vulnerable against psychic races and the warp, instead of imposing control over it.
>>96746887>But there's something about making humans purely material beings that Big E must have not liked or seen as a dead endThe Emperor was inherently biased since he was both an Eldar simp and a Psyker himself, of course he's not going to like the idea of creating a humanity that has no place for him in it.
>>96746827Why is the Tau 3 feet taller than a human? They are canonically manlets like the nips they larp as.

Alright I want to upgrade from paper to tablet so I can git gud at drawing and easily redo my mistakes.What should I get? I have been looking at Wacom One 13 as it is easily available, but I don't know if I should just pick a cheaper one without a screen or just a regular Samsung tablet or something like that.What do you guys recommend?
>>96746731I used a Gaomon P2200 at work for a bit, it's decent enough. I wish they'd put shortcuts on it and installing the drivers is annoying but it's a 22 inch screen for something like 400$ and black friday is next month so it'll likzly drop to 300. At home I just have a 100$ XP-Pen, the deco 01 I think, it's fairly large and there's a ton of buttons and a wheel on it.If you buy a Samsung tablet don't forget to check how many levels of pressure it has, the fancy galaxy pro ones have thousands but most tablets have 4 or 16, it can be annoying to draw on them.
