*band roguelikes that branch from Zangband, since they include Amberites, if you just played MtG and let that bias choose what you see on the screen. I particularly like Poschengband 3.5.1, but feel free to try newer/supported branches, I think some anon created Pseudoellisposchengband, and you can play Frogcomposband on mobile if you care for it. Amberites really feel like planeswalkers, their passive regen makes them monsters in battle even if you're a caster, and you can easily color-code your gish with the right paladin domain or wizard-warrior combination.
You won't get the broken 3 card combo going infinite that easily, as Angband variants are more "fair" and about numbers going up instead of Ulyssean exploits. But it feels like what MtG felt when I started playing in Onslaught, casually.

Gonna be playing strange aeons with my friends. The party is a barbarian, mesmerist, and a witch. I was looking at the oracle. The thematic suggestions are dark tapestry, lore, and time. As a first time oracle I was curious which of these I would have the least amount of trouble with.

>>97352679
>not even one minute in and a sassy gay NPC flirts with the PC
Dunno if the devs know their audience but they definitely know the IP holder.

>>97359680
Eh, difficulty-wise they are all about the same. Without spoiling anything big I will mention that Lore would see the most roleplay benefits in the early books, whereas dark tapestry and time in the later books.

Finally started putting pen to paper on my 9th set, and I think I may have created the worst card in any game ever.

Wheel Gator, Evil Fanged Heavy Tank
150 Power
Trigger: When you take damage, both players add their hand to the bottom of their deck, then charge that many cards.

For clarification "charge" is put those cards into a pile you draw all of next turn. So it empties both players' hands, then they draw up to their old hand size at end of turn.

>>97358446
Isn't that just an activated ability?

Okay so in a nutshell
>Original Kickstarter smashed it out of the park 7 million dollars for a 60,000 dollar goal
>Releases 4 more sets afterwards
>boxes of first set only need 1 or 2 boxes for a complete set of lower rarity cards and only need to buy singles of higher rarity so most don't bother buying boxes
>LGSes asked to host events for the card game but the main distributor for the cards are the online shop so the physical stores can't make any profit selling the boxes for markup because no one will buy it there when they can just buy it online
>newest kickstarter set seeds of unity originally has a set goal of 50k, easily hit
>whoa whoa WHOA hold on a minute, we actually meant the goal was 2.5 MILLION dollars for our crowdfund! We can't print the set unless we get our 2 mill!
>people cancel preorders and spread the word that the game is dying
>crowdfund falls short, damage control by creators, "we didn't meet our goal but we will still ship the set, in the future we will have to readjust our production line"
All in all, their booster box prices are crashing HARD and it's in meltdown mode. People want to sell out before all interest dies. Not sure if they can recover honestly.
It might be fun to buy if they end up being like $5-10 in the future just to crack packs

I know that I am late and I risk to do irreparable damage to the thread but wouldn't a gun need both a super metal and a super powerful gunpowder that may not even exist in the setting to scale as well?

>>97360407
Traditionally? No
A bullet that breaks on contact is equally as deadly as one that stays intact, and in several cases the shrapnel can actually do more damage
A bullet breaking doesn't stop the momentum of the bullet
As for the gunpowder, It depends. Most modern bullets are not actually stuffed entirely with explosive for obvious cost concerns
If you can picture a stick of dynamite compared to the blast it makes, remember that dynamite is actually an older weaker explosive and newer ones can be much more dense

If there were, for whatever reason, a market for bullets that could kill dragons they would certainly be doable
(but would each individually run like 200-400)
(And also the chamber would need to be much stronger)
(And the recoil would be intense)
(Still cheaper and less risky then 20 years of adventuing, but quite hasslesome)

>>97360427
You don't use a guy with a gun to kill a dragon; you use massed artillery on its lair. Even mundane armies in DnD can take down dragons.

>>97360427
Yes it's only the logic above where guns automatically scale to swords surprised me, considering that the gunpowder seems more important than the metal

The fact that you have to twist logic this much to make guns less powerful says a lot

>It means that all existing elements of a work are played without the Rule of Cool, Rule of Drama, Rule of Funny, and so on, to see what hidden assumptions the work uses to make its point.
Exalted does this at literally every point. Solars coming back to get punked by a death squad because they are still too inexperienced, magic sword factories because why wouldn't you, the prayer trade, heaven being run by incompetent in middle managers. Then you get the stuff that's intentionally contrary, like epic heroes actually being part of an automated system to make them into those superheroes.

Celestial Exaltation should just be described with a new incarnation of an ancient hero instead of reincarnation, as it describes what they are better, even if an Exaltation being a magical third soul makes it a weird grey area for being a reincarnation.

The problem is that modern Christians don't understand censorship, which means the satanic panic didn't have as much of an effect.
SJWs are experts at sabotaging and censoring, which had a much greater effect on nerd culture.

>>97360471
>Conflating slow, broad changes in societal views as being the same as deliberate sabotage by a fairly modern movement
>Suggesting that conservative backlash to things that don't fit their worldview is the same as inclusion
If you were right somewhere in there, you'd be wrong. This is because you don't understand, at the fundamental level, that inclusivity is an observable slow-turning gear in the history of humanity and not a psyop.

>>97354269
Who are you quoting?

Same applies to a lot of TCGs. This is why games like YuGiOh were best before a certain set, even outside of card balance. Your deck was the best with what you had, and you made it work. But it's ok because the people you are playing against are also (usually) playing the same way.

Now they print cards that arent just stronger, but clearly being made for a specific meta purpose.

I'm not sure if you're supposed to have x2 of each Perfect Resource in your deck with GCE, but I do it anyways because I basically treat them as normal resources for the first 10 Lantern Years.

>>97358364
No, you're only supposed to have 1x. The GCE instructions mention this, it includes the extra set in case you didn't already have the card pack.

>>97358513
Eh, I didn't see it when I read it the first time. I really think they just have too many systems repeated too many times across too many different products. Someone else is definitely going to do what I did and miss that if it's now in 1.6, the upgrade pack, and now in GCE repeating all this content.

>>97359216

you are guaranteed the lions balls if you DO wrecked them though.

>>97359435
I agree with the other poster, what a daft thought exercise. Probably the worst thing I could think of already happened anyway with Lion pardoning The Fallen, removing anything interesting they and the DA had going. I haven't kept up with nu-lore mostly due to this stupidity, but what drives the Angels now? Are they still all secretive and still race away from engagements, or what's their shtick now?

>>97359530
They're still searching for Fallen, but Lion does the initial investigation. If he decides they were cool, they become a Risen. If he decides they were a nigger, then he lets the Interrogator Chaplains do their thing. The Dark Angels are doing what they normally do. The Lion is doing his forest walk thing to put out fires in Nihilus.

>>97355569
Fuckin forgot to post before I went to bed. Sorry for leaving you hanging.

My personal experience boils down to a single utter shitshow of a game which didn't even last a session, because the GM quite literally opened with "Okay so you're all on a spaceship and you want to go do some heresy, there's three planets nearby, a forgeworld, an agriworld, and a hiveworld, pick one and then go kill some people." The situation devolved from there. Note the distinct lack of "who are your guys and what are their motives, why are you all working together, what's your objective" in there. An hour in and nobody's mentioned my name once, the GM clearly doesn't care to go into enough detail to make tech-use applicable, so I mentally check out, lower the volume to something less distracting, and go finish a video lecture. Get up for a bathroom break, come back, the server's fucking gone. I ask my buddy, another player, what the fuck happened, and he just says "Sometimes you gotta rip it out root and stem, man."

Now that's just a shit GM being a shit GM, but it's representative of a subset of people who are only there to do lolrandom dumbfuckery. Black Crusade attracts those like flies, because they see "this game is about being horrible evil chaos bastards" and they think "oh, finally, a game for me!" They don't want to engage with the game as it's meant to be played, they want to use it as an excuse to act in ways that are unacceptable at a table, and they think the subject matter gives them that excuse. Y'know, like FATAL.

This is not exclusive to the lolrandoms, either, but I'm fresh out of brain juice so I'm just gonna tell you to imagine That Guy, think about what makes him That Guy, and think about whether he thinks he could use Black Crusade as an excuse for being That Guy. I'm telling you, man, it's like flies. And it's fucking shameful, because the careful political aspects of balancing a chaos warband are actually a compelling premise.

>>97360201
Anon, I'm so sorry the longer I look. The worse this army looks. No offense.

>War Prophet
You need to ensure this model is a bit heavier. Invest in at least standard armor. You should be running the Anti-Tank Hammer.

>Castigator
The way you're running them is wasted. Give them a Punt Gun and some armor as well. The Shrine doesn't need the Punt Gun. Also try to get some armor.

>Shrines
Limited yourself to one. You're starting your warband. You can ALWAYS buy another down the road.

Trench Pilgrims aren't to be slept on with their Anti-Fear mechanics on their Iron Capirote. Just give them some bolt action rifles and some Bayonets.

Think of it as you building up the board to get your second Shrine.

>>97360251
may I get a rating
>>97358809

>>97358809
As I said the other Army list, Sniper Priest with a Machine Gun is utterly superior in every way. It may not allow you to pin an enemy down across the map but with your current build you have enough models to hold them in place.

Getting another Machinegun in the list or- rather your first one will make a pretty big difference.

>Grenades
I don't know who the fuck hurt you but not every single model needs a grenade, you will be lucky if you throw two in a game. Three max if your enemy is really unlucky or just not playing well.

Try to remove some of them, see how much Ducats you have left to try and invest into more Yeoman.

You have a musician. That's great, don't know what that Frag Grenade is gonna do for them in combat. Give them a pistol or something. You don't want a sitting duck.

Other than that the list seems solid. Just ensure your LT isn't too battle-damaged from engagements or you might need to retire them.

>>97360303
>I don't know who the fuck hurt you but not every single model needs a grenade, you will be lucky if you throw two in a game. Three max if your enemy is really unlucky or just not playing well.
Prussians. Given they arent consumable (cept the charge) its arguably better to use and makes for an effective bleed/assault

>>97360393
True, but I'm firm on an addition of a Yeoman of possible!

>>97360406
So what’s your process here? Do you prepare this content in advance or on the fly? Let’s explore the homeless example. I’m guessing you don’t railroad the players into being at a specific gas station, so you improvise this homeless guy on the fly right? He makes sense in the context of the environment. I’m just curious how much of this you prepare in advance.

>>97360438
Yeah, I guess I have the same question.

>>97360442
I think he’s saying the way that the content exists in the world (improvised; randomly generated, pre planned, or some combination) looks functionally identical to the player at the table as long as it makes sense in the context of the environment, right?

>>97360485
It doesn't matter how it looks to the players. Total perfect simulation is the correct method, and no other shall be permitted.

>>97360489
That’s the dream. So are you creating and simulating every aspect of your world prior to introducing your players to it? Do you improvise most of it?

>>97360172
I'm not able to post the full thing and would probably be embarrassed to do so. I think having a set idea of the roster would be great. That's my bias, though.

Basic idea of the system is it takes about an hour to walk 3 miles so that's used as the baseline. Meadows, fields, etc. Distance is halved or even brought down to 1/3rd depending on how difficult the terrain is. Phrased differently, difficult terrain may have 1 environmental hazard every x hours. The more that they run into, the less likely there will be another, the longer without the more likely there will be one. Represented by starting on a d10 and ratcheting lower down to a d4 for more likely or going up to a d20 for less likely. Like yours, it was on a 1. Simple stat rolls to overcome an obstacle. Failing just meant they were more tired.

Similarly, enemy density is rolled by expected resistance. Whether that is every mile or every 3 is dependent on the territory. From what I remember, there were different bands of territory with heavy presence and longer stretches with no one (1d4 vs 1d20 rolls), but the danger came from exhaustion.

Every fight or obstacle would cost 1 exhaustion, which every 5 HP the PC has, they gain 1 additional exhaustion. When they run out of exhaustion, they lose -1 to stat rolls until a long rest in a safe place.

YMMV. Enemies were less important than simple stat rolls that would cause exhaustion loss if failed, but it also meant the 'fighter' types actually had a built-in mechanical advantage to endurance. Having to choose between the potential for many combat encounters along a contested road with the guarantee of a friendly camp or taking the long way and showing up weaker for a fight was a fun debate to watch. I think it added to the game.

>>97360489
Except that higher powers put the hobo there on random chance rather than the hobo having any agency because he's not a real person but actually an obstacle.
