>>97357105It's Hinterlands so it's abstracted, repairing them is not going to move the needle on my finances either way much compared to winning / losing and getting more salvage.As additional information we're going to be fighting Jade Falcons, in what sort of mission I don't know just yet.
>>97357149Hinterlands sounds like hot garbage. Play FCP 0.75 instead.

>>97356216>>97356801It will come again.We have had these issues before.We have learned much since The Trove was nuked; mostly to never stash all your treasures in one place.
Conquest looks so fucking fun, but no one here plays it nor care about it, I think not being bog-standard fantasy is a cons for most of the people...I like Spire, might as well just buy the models
>>97356868Conquest models are pretty neat I must say, regular grunts pass for monstrous infantry in other games.
>>97356981is that the variangan guard?Old dominion is another army I want to buy, I dont like its stranger models, but the normal zombies are fantasticDo you play the game?
>>97357052Yes they are the Varangians. I used some athanatoi arms as well, since they're a dual kit. No, I do not play the game. I've heard it's a good game, but I don't like the 38mm scale. I bought these on impulse because I thought they looked neat.
Stop looking at fantasy settings and its cultural dialogue through contemporary utilitarian lenses. Your present reasoning and thoughts are a direct result of sociocultural narratives, they're not objectively reasonable or the apex of human thought.
>>97354561I can't decide if it's better or worse than twitter screenshots
>>97354523>"An actual mythographer wouldn't talk like that"One just did, dick-cheese.Or would you rather me call you a catamite and a irrelevant gadfly?
>>97352832I do whatever the fuck i want.
>>97352832Mate, work on your material.
>>97354251Yep, not a mythographer.
Is there any way I can incorporate my fetish in my fantasy world without it becoming a magical realm?
>>97356497Sauce? There's no sauce.
>>97356529OP did not create that image. It came from somewhere.
>>97289931the upcharged tourist food use to not be upcharged tourist food.
>>97340810Testing has shown that when humans read quickly the first and last letters, the length of the word and the remaining individual letters in a jumble is what is noticed and then context of the text is the used to identify the exact word used. This results in word pairs like Calvary/cavalry and rouge/rogue being "mentally" the same word.
>>97357159That's basically gestalt principle at work, subconscious tendency to seek and/or fill in known patterns.
Should an elven wizard be more powerful on average than a human one? Explain your answer.
>>97356728>human mage raw retarded fireball power because bombabigger bomba --> better wizard>elf: gets all the shit done without being spectacular. Countless spells and knowledge for every spell and truely understands itelf is basically spec ops killer compared to human who is a soldier with a bazooka
I don't allow any race in my settings to have a default lifespan longer than twice or shorter than half of a human's. Solves these problems nicely.
>>97357123>The only factor is life-long experienceSounds to me you are a terribly unimaginative fuckwit
>>97356728In a wargame, yes. NPCs, yes. Player characters, no.There are more human arch mages not because humans are better mages but because there's more humans.
Depends on the system.If elves have a bonus to intelligence, spellcasting or any mechanics and natural affinity for it. Then yes, obviously. Even if they are the same level or age.If he's an old elf, then obviously, since he's still alive and the human wizard is dead. And if he's not dead, then he's likely a liche, vampire or some other abomination.If elves have all the aforementioned and humans are still better wizards, then you are an idiot-writer for breaking internal logic for some HFY-bullshit.

this game has only been out for 2 months and it already has a dozen armies planned, over 20 if you count subfactions, devs should have tried to keep it simple with just two armies, good guys and bad guys and slowly scale it up from there. its not looking good
>>97355540>dozen armies>not including subfactionsWhat are these dozen? I recall like 4.
>>97355146Lmao
First Order of the Stick of the new year is up.
>>97352015we once kept a thread alive for 3 (three) updates
>>97355392It's a lot less common these days, though we've had some where we got two updates in the last year.
>>97355069You can point to the start of a problem, but if other people are actively perpetuating it, especially for selfish reasons, they have their own share of the blame too.
>>97333081reading this on a whim
>>97355069Rajaat was the one who started the fire, but his fifteen human disciples are the ones keeping the flame going. And as the current sorcerer kings, they’re fighting every possible chance to fix the world for their own selfish gain.
What can you do to make bandit encounters more immersive and interesting than the old ambush-fight shtick?
The bandits offer to handle part of a quest for coin. They fake it convincingly. The PCs can find their hideout.
>>97353837This is how my current 3.5 campaign started (though technically he was from a merchant house LARPing as one).
>>97349486Make the ambush so unexpected or so weird, people go with it.Last time I had a bandit ambush in a game, there was a dead man and a dead wolf on the road, apparently killing each other. When one of the players decided to check, the wolf spring out on him and the "dead" man fired a crossbow at one of our wagon's horses.Was unexpected enough that everyone went with it, especially since it kinda fit into the campaign goal and sides of conflict in it to be ambushed by bandits like that.
The "bandits" intervene on the party's behalf in a fight theyre not necessary in then demand a fee thats worth more than the loot.
>>97355791You know, these puckee threads reminds me a whole lot of dragonfag threads when he was around....

>>97344438They seem to be better balanced between their individual books but when you bring it from other books or especially from the DBee book.This does not apply to the Ultimate Edition, ironically. Those OCCs are kind of the ones found everywhere, including space. They are not balanced with within themselves at all. Really, I would not call the ultimate edition at all. Its more like a very thick primer for people to join games.
Here is the rough for the skullwalker. I tried drawing it first but I don't think that worked as well as I hoped. Looks kinda like modok mixed with darth vader.
Which is the best glitterboy & which ones might as well be scrap?
>>97353596That does look pretty silly. It's going to be hard to get an accurate, scary-looking spidertank from that angle. Good luck to ya. >>97344438The game is old-school and assumes the GM has a brain large enough to comprehend that certain upper and lower limits have to be set at the beginning of the game, tailored to the part of the world and power level the GM is expecting to run, not "Make any PC from any of the 100 books, I don't care lol".

>>97356733>lies>>97290527They started in 2021. This is the current iteration of this cancerous shit. Keep seething.
>>97290527>>97356927So he's iterated on it, gone through stages of playing with fad components like NFT's, abandoned them, and persisted.Sounds like you just don't like the guy.Like it or not, he's still trying to make something.And I haven't seen him ask anybody for money.At this point, I'm going to bump these threads whenever I see them just to spite you.
>>97357072>im gonna keep doing what I've already been doing.Lol okay OP.
>>97357090Actually, I was bumping them because the concept is cute, and I like green frogs and silly memes.NOW it's about spite.You ain't gonna enjoy looking at the front page for a while buddy.Ciao, finocchio.
>>97357147So your literally just going to prove me right by not even engaging with the thread and just keeping it artificially bumped. Lol. Why don't you just order a free pack of cards and post a picture of it and I'll literally leave. It's free and youd support the game you already want to support. Can't be that daunting of a thing to do unless by posting a picture you might reveal something.
Is it better to have fully anthropomorphic beast people in your settings or just humans with like animal ears and tails?
>>97349794I mean yes this movie was famously repulsive. Most depictions of animal people are less disgusting than this.
>>97356436Ngl I'd still do a significant portion of the female cast
How do I introduce mythologically-inspired Feline People? Batet-kin Cat People or Leopard-Men in Not-Africa? Jaguar people in Not-America?
>>97356577Which probably has little to do with the artstyle being good and more with you being desperate horndog.
>>97356666Not untrue, Mega Satan
I know there's Everyone Is John, is there anything like picrel? A lighter Fiasco-style game, mixed with Monster of the Week? (Ideally not PbtA please.)Also what are /tg/'s thoughts on SP? Both the comic and the movie.
>>97348405>too much of a bitch to reply and make a real argument. Fiasco is for telling stories where some big plan goes sideways. Monster of the Week is PBTA for Scooby-Doo capers, usually supernatural mysteries. Sluglaster is FITD (PBTA-adjacent) gonzo, 80s themed sci-fi about cool kids doing hoverboard tricks. None of them emulate Scott Pilgrim.
>>97349178I give you points for not doubling down on your bitchiness and actually providing reasons this time. You're underselling MotW as Scooby-Doo. It features serialized mysteries themed around investigating and taking down the titular monster of the week, but unlike with the mystery gang that shit is assumed to be real. It's not just Barry the janitor in an animatronic, there's legit supernatural stuff going on. Fuck, even the players can use magic. That's practically the same thing as a serialized sequence of urban fantasy mysteries/fights against seven deadly exes. I mean it's literally based off fucking BtVS, if you can't see the similarities there then I'm afraid I can't help you.Likewise with Slugblasters, "cool kids do X supernatural shit while dealing with mundane life drama" is literally Scott Pilgrim.You're bang on about fiasco not emulating SP. That's the only kudos I can give your retardation, however. Frankly I preferred thinking of you as malicious.
>>97350001MotW having actual supernatural shit does not make it a good fit for Scott Pilgrim. It's not "practically the same thing" just because there's some magic. It's also PBTA which OP specified he does not want.Slugblaster, likewise, is a poor fit. It's all gadgets and robots and "HEY REMEMBER THE 80s/90s?!" but it's a FITD game, which means it's about staging heists and adventures and trying not to fuck everything up. The FITD component already disqualifies it again. It's just clocks and handwaving shit, like most FITD games are. Scott Pilgrim isn't cool kids doing supernatural shit. It's painfully mundane outside of the fights, which was kind of the entire point. Scott can't fist fight his way into a healthy relationship and until he realizes that, he'll continue to be a fucking loser and an asshole. If you want big combat in between hyperbolic 20-something relationship drama, both are a bad fit.
>>97344560apothecaria one day at a thymeiron valleyalthough idk how much like scott pilgrim they are.
>"Slice of life">Roleplaying as a human being with a lifeThat's tragic man.I was going to make fun of the notion, but actually, It's sad.Like actually "dead dog" sadRather than "You are so sad" sad.
Do you prefer Pokémon, Yugioh, or Magic the Gathering?
>>97326799MTG seems to have the best underlying game systems (yes, lands are still the the best resource system out of any of the big TCG's and half the problem of new games is trying to "fix" lands)WOTC is still retarded however
>>97328387Pokemon: best gameplay, best cost, but dogshit artMTG: Dogshit gameplay, extremely expensive, dogshit artYGO: the most dogshit gameplay ever, extremely expensive, ok artHonestly I would play Pokemon if the cards werent so ugly
that's the second-best outcome tbqh.the best is just: delete thread, ban OP. you COULD make some /pol/ thread ACTUALLY about big-lipped gorilla-men in your setting. or you could simply not, and /tg/ remains better off for it.
>>97355518>>97354184PTA and PTU (which is based on PTA) are a total slog. You basically need tools, because there's so much fucking crunch. The powerscaling gets pretty insane too, since trainers can potentially learn how to use moves like Pokemon do.You can play Pokerole instead, which is much less cumbersome, and takes inspiration from Storyteller system, but you might need to be ready to improvise and homebrew some things.
>>97356918pokerole is pretty promising, I'm not looking for a full package just a startpoint I can simplify further to introduce the concept of rpgs to 10-year-olds. PTA, PTU, Oddysee and PTR yeah they seem too complex for that.

>>97354362>>97354424Grok's been fast and simple enough that its been good enough for what I'm after. Only downside is the image generation limit, since I'm not paying for anything. I have 3 X accounts though, so I get around it a little bit.Haven't had any junk generations with it yet, but It does like to forget that people have two arms a lot of the time. Sometimes it cracks out a banger, though.
>>97356290It's a trifacial trinity
>>97354424So you can use already existing pic as a reference, but can it be used to refer to desired art style, or only what is on the refereed pic?
>>97356729I haven't tried art style prompts that way but I guess technically it should work. Gemini is IMO not great at style prompts and I'm out of sloppa for the day so I can't test, but it seems to latch onto whatever style the reference pic has, anyway
