Just thought up modifing my spider people's culture to have a distain for worm produced silk.Mainly to justify a quest line where they give several task related to sabotaging silkworm based silk production. Starting with local shipments of the stuff and eventually leading to a quest where the players are expected to go to the other side of the world to directly somehow stop worm silk production.Just a side quest idea though.
>>97833541No one cares.I actually welcome him to post his questions in the worldbuilding thread rather that clog the catalog with questions that don't deserve their own thread.

MTG is unironically an IQ test. If you're bad, you're low IQ. If you're good, you're high IQ. This even applies to arena which had training wheels for triggers etc.
>>97833202dude it's 2026 you can't call them that
>>97833202Half right, if you're high IQ you already quit playing MtG

>>97832892In W5 you can fail a single 50/50 roll to shift shape and 'lose the wolf' becoming essentially base human for as long as you like. So yeah you can just totally dip from the whole secret shapeshifting cursed warrior of the soul of the world and go back to being a wagie forever. It's probably the smart decision. (Did they even playtest this mess?)>>97832898There were so many interesting directions they could have gone in but that would require them not to be creativity bankrupt.
>>97832816How human is a human though? Do some humans ping as wyrm-tainted without any actual wyrm taint?
I have a story pacing question. The goal of the chronicle is to climb the ranks of the camarilla. Once they get their initial foothold I was planning on having the prince see the red star and start getting paranoid about gehenna, going from a fairly lackadaisical ruler to a paranoid wreck. I was also going to introduce a thinblood sabbat pack that attacks the domain during the daytime. I figure the pack is going to manage to take out one or two prominent figures in the domain before the coterie puts them down.Should I have them attack before she sees the red star to rattle her before beginning her downward spiral or after she sees the red star and seeing it as confirmation the apocalypse is imminent?
>>97833513She sees red star first but obviously tells nobody
>>97833513Personally, I'm not so confident a group of thinnies could take out big vampires during the day. Besides the difficulty in finding where they daysleep in the first place, they'd need to overcome whatever daytime security they have. What kind of vampire in a position of power doesn't have things like a bunkerized daysleep room, at least one security ghoul, an alarm system, and an inbuilt sprinkler system? That's also assuming the vampire themselves are low enough humanity to not be able to meaningfully wake up and fight back when attacked during the day. Having a single pack of thinblood dipshits locate and kill one prominent vampire, let alone multiple, risks making said vampires seem horribly incompetent.
Previous thread: >>97680129GURPS 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.TQ: what's your least favorite disadvantage for a player to take?

>>97826738Obsession (Public Transport) would be more fitting.
>>97828360There were a few 3e or maybe even 2e ones I remember looking through years ago. I found them to be pretty subpar.
>>97827868>Ye olde zerkers had shields and defended themselvesClassical berserkers were probably just dudes who psyched themselves up enough to do shit the average person thought was crazy, which helped intimidate enemies. It's probably not the same as GURPS Berserk, which is a lot more like a tard spergout.
How do i stat picrel into GURPS? I know there is Gun Stats but how would i stat the possibility of there being an injury by the recoil caused by this?

>>97833036>>97833046KoA is a non factor even if they decide not to print serialised cards.
>>97833097It's not baitI only want to collect DM stuff and possibly Heroes from GX, everything else I don't care much about, the modern set I will buy for that exact reason.
>>97833148Everything other than serialized cards will be reprinted eventually. So if you care about your collection's value, there is nothing to collect here
>>97833148>I only want to collect DM stuff and possibly Heroes from GX, everything else I don't care much about, the modern set I will buy for that exact reason.Can you be a bit more specific then?Do you want to collect everything DM related or just the clasic cards? (which have a lot of reprints, rarities and diferent artworks), or specific archetypes? (all the dark magician related cards for example)
is it worth it to buy gx era asian english ultimate rares? they are so extremely rare and expensive, but a lot of them are 'literal who' cards and they still command a minimum price tag of $500+ for an LP copy.
I win the argument.
>>97831172Dming is a binary, you're either good or you're shit.
>>97831191That doesn't answer the question, provide a detailed step by step explanation with 8 peer reviewed sources of why you think railroading DMs is fine but not players
>>97831236It's not possible to railroad a DM, you're retarded.
>>97831421Are you not railroading the DM by refusing to play unless your very gay demands are met?Sounds like you're the one who is retarded
>>97830512So you are blind, then. Grim.
How classist and sneering is your character to other social classes? Does your character view peasants like filth, or anyone not scholar like an uneducated vermin, or nobles like tyrannical parasites, or sees settled, urban people, as soft and stagnant?
>>97828140Classist but not sneering. He's a LG but born and raised as a noble so tries his best to be the very model of chivalry.Tis ours, the dignity they give to graceThe first in valour, as the first in place;That when with wondering eyes our confidential bandsBehold our deeds transcending our commands,Such, they may cry, deserve the sovereign state,Whom those that envy dare not imitate!
>>97828417How it should be
>>97828174Bot
My character is a literal criminal and thief, of course he hates the upper class.
>>97828140I'm the GM so all My characters have various opinions on it

>>97833416>making contracts, bestowing immortality,Mine had deals too, more verbal aggreements than contracts I guess, and was supposed to be ageless but not unkillable, so half immortality? A quarter since he can't give it away?Also it substitutes shadows with ice and cold I guess.It's a lot weaker than the shit I'm reading on the wiki but it is conceptually very similar.I could double down on it, and give a lot more importance to the run away prince part of his bcakstory, as I assume the world government isn't going to leave a mini demon running around out of control, no matter how limited compared the original. It would tie in with his obsession with freedom he already had.Or I could just go for the other idea I was working on that was kinda dumb, then became more serious, and now it's even more dumb. And was, strangely enough, going the exact opposite direction. Please tell me now if there is some kind of god already in OP, other than whatever Nika is.>>97833428>Husk (I assume) should be fine lol.Nope, the other one. The ice demon.

>>97833489>any other godsThere is the Elbaf God of War, Nidhogg, but he's just a big ol' dragon that shoots lightning. and thers Ratatoskr/Ragnir which is a squuirell that freezes things. So you should hopefully be fine.And yeah I know Satan is a myth in our world but just very specifically whatever thing Imu is.
>>97833438Lol from the big three it goes: Naruto then Bleach then One Piece in that order pirate fag
>>97833396This makes me think that maybe my idea isn't so strange for One Piece.

How would he fare in 40k?
>>97829602What can I say, OP? You just have that impression on people. Would you feel better if I said /trash/ instead? Because that's also an appropriate place for your garbage.
>>97829445Killed by a mage.
>>97829445Comparable to dark age of technology level machines. Much stronger than anything fielded in 40k, but not so strong as to break the setting

>>97831953Obviously it depends on what army you are playing, but the FE starters make about 1k in points, with 2k being pushed as the standard size. The average unit runs from around 150 pts. to 300 pts.

>>97828430Hello?
>>97829270The same thing that every American thinks when they say "I could care less" when they try and express that they couldn't care less about something. Which is that they don't think anything about the individual words they are saying, they're using what is an idiom to them because they've heard other people do the same thing a billion times, even though English is their first language and they could easily recognize the mistake if they thought about it for a moment. You can take this to mean niggas is retarded if you want, but really people just don't think very hard about the language they use.
A few years ago, I've homebrewed a TTRPG Hero system, from 0. Obviously with a few bases (It was mostly based on GURPS or the 1d100 system wise). For an arts project that I graduated with and even got an interview for it.The world was about a post-apocalyptic metallic, chromium world. All cities became underground after the bombs, hyper advanced technology and history was lost to the nuclear disaster.But nowadays they're sort of recovering technologies on the surface and building surface cities of shiny and smooth metal.The huge point of the setting was that some people had radioactive or mutant powers appeared in different circumstances and some of them either become heroes or villains. But knowing that the world is still unknown and super dangerous.The whole system was point based that they would have some starter powers or mutations, but the more exposed they become to radiation, they will have either good or bad traits or powers but also an ''ego'' or moral compass. Excuse me if it sounds strange, I'm ESL, and it's been years since I've talked about this old project. Created in a fit of passion and 'tism
>>97829270>I don't get it, what did you think the phrase meant? What could "intensive" mean in this context that makes sense?I don't know. I think >>97830701 might have the right of it and it's that I never paid enough attention to the individual words or really thought about what I was saying.I do know why I said>Jesus fuck, I maybe actually be retarded.Instead of>Jesus fuck, I MIGHT actually be retarded.I was drunk.
>>97832996but what did you think you were communicating? ignoring the spelling entirely, what did you think the phrase means?>>97830701how are you speaking without thinking? that doesn't make any sense. you pick a meaning to communicate, and you form sentences that will communicate it. how else could you use language?either I'm being trolled or both of you are some kind of skinwalkers
I never realized how many players suffer from aphantasia and insist on using miniatures. Are you one of them, or do you embrace the unmatchable graphics of theater of the mind?
>>97833391No, theater of the mind is about visual representations in your head. There's still need to jot down stuff, like your character's health.
>>97833421Wait. You can't keep track of all that information with out a visual aid? So you must lack imagination.
>>97833414>>it's not neededExcept no, because for most people it is needed because it makes complex things like fights between the party and various monsters much easier to keep track of.Stop being retarded.
>>97831582Looks comfy
>>97831518I suffer from aphantasia, and prefer using miniatures in games that are made for such.Not WoD, not CoC, not even Shadowrun. Play / Make better games.

Long time MtG player (17 years?) and with what's happening to the game rn, i don't really have much interest in any of the new sets. Sorcery looks like it could maybe scratch that itch. The art is fantastic and reminds me of legacy MtG art. Anybody here play?I watched a few overview vids, but I'm curious how the actual gameplay goes. For someone who plays mostly EDH, are there any similarities? Is it usually a 2 player match?How long are the matches usually?Is it as much of a money pit as MtG?Convinced a few of my MtG friends to give it a shot based off of the art alone. Just need an idea of what I'm up against in terms of learning curve.
They need to give us more Frazetta art
>>97820622MTG player of 22 years that only plays premodern now here. Played in an 8 man Sorcery draft the other day and it's hands down the most fun I've had with a card game in years. Can't recommend it enough, man. If you have an LGS nearby with anyone that plays, join a draft and give it a shot. The grid adds a lot of depth in strategy.
>>97833316Can concur, it's fun to play.
>>97820929Is that Ian Miller art?I'm sold.I rate him over Blanche.
>>97833338Yea he painted a lot of cards in this recent set. the playmat for The Void is great, it's huge. Miller has been one of my favorite fantasy artists since Mirage came out, I really want to get an original piece from him before he's gone.
