I play games with my friends. Am I to assume you are a friendless asshole who has to turn to the "playerbases" because you're so unbearable to be around that you have to game with people who don't know you personally? Sad, but many such cases.

What thickness of plasticard do you use the most? Thinking here for plates and other stuff.
And what's granny mesh? Can't seem to find anything on google

>>97264903
Nvm I see now that granny mesh is granny grating/plastic mesh

To add to this >>97264903 looks like JTT has some great plastic sheets in corrugated and other styles. Is 1:100 a good scale?

Dark sun as a setting is perfect for any sort of sword & sorcery/post apocalyptic theme. The setting is littered with ancient ruins of its previous ages, and theres many different monsters & things you can find down in them
>A littany of ghosts and undead of long dead peoples, and the spirits of now extinct genocided races like trolls, goblins, orcs, kobolds & gnomes
>ancient experiments or any of athas's menagerie of wildlife
>psionic monsters aplenty, almost everything on athas is psychic
Youre spoilt for choice, but ruins are the main focus.
Actual existing Modules that you should look at are anything with a forgotten ancient ruin (The lost city, dwellers of the forbidden city) You should be going for that, a mix of tomb raiding/Red Nails Conan/Lovecrafts nameless city.

Anon my friend, Player's Option: Combat & Tactics, Player's Option: Skills & Powers and Player's Option: Spells & Magic are each a full-size hardcover. I understand why you'd want what you're asking for, but you need to understand that there's *no way* to bring all this content together in one consolidated volume.

I liked MHA enough to start working on the idea of a super setting like it. Though currently I have is:

>Government and Corporations are giving big pay outs for the next generation of Heroes with their biggesr group being nor!Justice League.
>Elements of Public Safety is commercialized because of Heroes and everyone wants to be a rising star.
>Vigilantes handle all the real dirty work because they attack corrupt Heroes, government members, law enforcement and villains and other vigilantes but get labeled as terrorists/villains often. Some if they have good publicity are picked up.
>Villains are actual people who go around committing crimes but also some people rigged/primed by the system for rally arlund the flag and keep Civic Heroics going.
>Going to an academy guarantees you a contract and landing a gig as a sidekick who can potentially become a Hero if you break out enough.
>Superheroes emerged because the Illuminati leader as a kid watched a Saturday Morning cartoon and wanted that world of endless conflict to happen..the Illuminati played along because they get awesome powers and its easy to control the masses.

>>97264921
This is why “why don’t the woofs ask ancient spirits what they need to do to fix everything?” doesn’t work, those are too autistic and absent minded to help them in a coherent way. Cryptic prophecy is the most straightforward form of communication most incarna and celestines are capable of. Also remember that Gaia had to make an entire changing breed (the moloké) to be able to remember stuff

Truly, never ask a spirit for anything if you aren't a Theurge or already insane.

>>97264783
3e is more constrained in a lot of areas, at least in terms of how you interact in a practical manner. Like if you go toe to toe with a Solar, he's more than likely going to beat your ass at actually achieving the goals you set out to do. However, you do things in a weird, wacky woohoo way that tends to inflict collateral (literally or figuratively) in place of sheer effectiveness. You do have a few really interesting trump cards that are harder to deal with, but you're no longer changing the type of game that's being played.

I don't remember any of the signatures

>>97262566
>"Well it'll give mortals a way to attack long distances" which honestly how do you even argue
You remind the retard that bows and other ranged weapons already exist.

>>97264668
Some people from the Realm are obviously irreverent, similarly to, say, how people in the Middle Ages weren't always good Catholics and might outright war with the Pope. Catholic Church was still a big deal in the Middle Ages, though, as is Immaculate Order in the Realm. A Solar appearing on the Blessed Isle and trying to get people to help him would be like Satan walking into a medieval village and going "Hey, I might be Satan, but I'm actually a good guy".

>>97264674
Immaculate Order offers education, charity, protection from rogue spirits, spiritual certainty and comfot - which actually does matter to people - rules and social pressure that keeps the worst excesses of the Dynasty more or less in check, and also monks frequently demonstrate against behavior of the ruling class thhey find immoral, inappripriate and un-Immaculate and sometimes side with peasants during peasant rebellions. The Order does plenty, and the setting in every edition is written with the assumption that people on the Isle do, by and large, take their faith seriously. As I said, it's obviously fine to change that if something else fits your game better, but it's a big change, and the default setting is still one where people, inlcuding Dragon-Blooded, genuinely believe in what the Immaculate Order teaches. Go read the sidebar "Constructed Belief" on page 70 of 1E's Exalted: the Dragon-Blooded

>>97264723
Realm's peasants obviously have a raw deal compared to modern-day Western world, but they're no worse off than peasants anywhere else in Creation. Which is not great because peasants in general aren't in a great position, but it's not like the Realm's an uniquely or even particularly terrible society for its own. Now, with social Charms a Solar obviously can swing pretty much any mortal to his side, but just starting glowing golden on the Isle and expecting peasants to decide that this guy is cooler than their current lords wouldn't work in the canon setting.

>>97264945
Given that exalted are duper strong they could make crazy compound bows with absurd ranges too

>>97265300
I was thinking more along the lines of people going "well, 10'000 attacks from so far away, and that's not even getting into what tanks can do!" sort of discourse. or acting like it turns every mortal into an instant death machine that are a threat to solaroids that can snipe them from over the horizon. You know, stupid shit.

>>97265278
>People generally make money on your habits, and especially those habits which could cost your life or health. That's not win-win situation for both parts.
Then it sounds like the humans are the ones who are taking advantage of the Deep Ones, as they are the ones receiving the money (gold) in exchange for indulging the Deep One's habits (fucking human women).

>No, because you are an uneducated basedboy. Read some books about actual history and actual social interactions between different cultural groups. If you make a basedboy pseudo-historical setting, when even nowadays in your fucking country people kill each other because of some ideological and alienated hatred, then you are just stupid. I didn't say that they are evil, maybe you are evil (but no, you are just stupid). When you eat your fucking chicken on dinner that doesn't mean that you are evil toward chickens, idiot.
See, this is exactly what I am talking about, you are an ideological xenophobe. The alien could have literally any trait but it's different so it's intrinsically bad. You're fucking retarded. Americans and Japanese engage in mutually beneficial trade today, and have for the past 80 years, but that doesn't count as "actual history" because that's only when different groups are violent, not when they cooperate for mutual benefit.

>the end point is destruction of humanity.
In the plain text of the story the Deep Ones are explicitly described as not wanting to destroy humanity.

>>97265256
>Literally what the fuck are you talking about?
The great replacement is definitely a part of their plan. At least.

>Half the people
Oh, that calmed me down. Half the people who thought differently.

>The Deep Ones don't act as predators preying upon humans
Yeah, half the people were just some minor mistake.

>If your standard for alien psychology would apply to other humans, then how does it differ from an "American basedboy"?
I didn't understand what's your point. Different cultures can have psychology alien to each other. An American basedboy cannot properly understand a Taliban fighter. But when we are talking about "historical consciousness" (medieval, for example) in comparison to basedboy's consciousness, that have pretty different anachronistic character, which is much less plausible to have.

>, as they are the ones receiving the money (gold) in exchange for indulging the Deep One's habits (fucking human women).
Yeah, the great replacement for gold is a good deal.

Oh, also, the fate of sacrifices to the Deep Ones isn't revealed. It's possible, nay probable, that they're just sex slaves for breeding, since that seems to be their primary concern when dealing with humans.

>>97265402
>Yeah, when you are killed because you don't pray to the only right god
They didn't. Outsiders were left alone unless they were to be sacrifices and residents were left alone if they submitted to the authority of the Deep Ones. They even guaranteed anyone that submitted a right to a jury trial if they were suspected of any wrongdoing.

A FUCKING JURY TRIAL! Truly a completely alien society. Who could imagine what is going through their heads?

>>97265117
Did you miss the part where it's a fantasy world with it's own fantasy language called COMMON which is not guaranteed to be English/French? They may not actually say "brigandine" or "studded leather" in universe, that's just what is translated to you as a player so stfu and suck it moron.

Hell, even if. Is it historically justified to call it brigandine in the setting given that it's more associated with adventurers than brigands.

>>97265287
"Studded leather" is not synonymous with "brigandine". Brigandine has plates not studs. Adding studs to leather does fuck all to increase defense. There is not and has never been any such thing as "studded leather armor".

Wait till you realize how prevalent misnomers are in the real world.

Do you know that the "MOSFET"s in the CPU running your shitposting machines are most likely SSFETs? Do you realize that calling plated leather armor, brigandine in universe would similarly be a misnomer because it's more commonly associated with adventurers than brigands?

They probably realize that trying to find a way to make the tcgs work internationally just isn't worth the squeeze anymore. There just isn't a market for that level of anime unless its heavily IP based. Plus 'rollslop' is so hot right now with fab and sorcery and other le edge medieval fantasy crap, I wouldn't see why they would bother when they're such a massive company that doesnt need to burn money

Delusional. That was a whole ass thread ago, not even close to yesterday. No one's harping on that anymore, but you are inclined to bring it up.

Considering you have no actual counter, good job conceding indeed, fuckboi. John Wick's stories of dickery aren't unique at all, the only differences are that he's an rpg designer who was narcissistic enough to publish a book about his dickery, and that he likely thought himself more clever than he was in reality.

Cute, but frankly John Wick's not nearly the clever boi he paints himself as, nor is he anything special in terms of bad game masters. It's just particularly egregious since he printed a book trying to trick people into emulating his style of hostile railroading.

I'm NOT a shitty DM: Roleplaying should absolutely affect the DC of a check.

>If I decide to open my mouth and spill my spaghetti that makes the check harder.

>If I come up with a great excuse that's fun or convincing, that should make the check easier.

>If the PC just walks up and says "I want my character to bluff the guard into killing himself." I'll him roll for it but the DC is 70 and a nat 20 is just keeping the guard from trying to detain him and call for back up and instead telling him to bugger off.

Being a good DM is playing these things by ear. The player should have accepted the DM saying its impossible because
1. he tried to convince the guard with bad roleplay first not RPG stats and any rolls he makes is to deescelate at that point
2. the DM is the final arbiter of the game and its not really a big deal (hints the player is autistic who has a meltie about something that's a big deal)
3. The DM could have been more diplomatic to get the game moving again, allowing him to roll, but setting the DC so high he will always fail and moving on instead of wasting everyone's time.

Unfortunately if you play with mentally ill or childish people it helps to be the adult in the room.

>>97264603
All this post-thinking is ok
Now, they were under specific orders from grimma to actually take the staff.
So, ON TOP of the orders to seize all weapons before the king, they had an ADDITIONAL order to specifically take the wizard staff.
This setting is DOUBLE the thing you posed as absurdity, and a bluff was still called, won, and "the story changed"
If it works for Tolkien, why is your super-duper-special setting entitled to "not work or else I have to change my premade brain!"

>>97265221
Oh hey! You rolled a 17
Seems like you stuck in the loop.
Refer to
>>97264253
>>97264264

>>97265281
I will admit that a few times I've encountered people who tried to bluff guards with the laziest possible excuses and no attempts to disguise themselves as possible. Those times, I will outright just stop the game to explain to them in detail how and where they fucked up before giving them a chance to have a do-over.

And that's mainly because I've learned there's a difference between stupid people and belligerently stupid people. Normal stupid people just don't have the capacity to understand how other people think on their own, so having the flaws of their retarded plan pointed out to their faces isn't a big deal since they'll be happy to fix it. Belligerently stupid people on the other hand just presume everyone is stupider than they are, so if they try to stand their ground on why their plan should work regardless of the DM outright warning them, then I take it as them basically signing their right to complain away.
