It is probably not too controversial to say that the art of modern rulebooks is made with female representation in mind.These women are predominantly filling important roles, such as archmages, military officers, or nobles.But how come there is barely any art that shows them in peril, or at a clear disadvantage? Regardless of their status.There is no shortage of men in peril.Neither in classic nor in modern art.

>>97368634Along with the awesome art, thats a really clever premise for and organic shield.It sounds like you're saying the moth forces and electrical current through the fibers to temporarily make them rigid and incredibly resistant, almost like an organic-thread take on non-newtonian fluid.That kind of reminds me of when capcom brought japanese ecologists to try to explain how their monsters would work in a grounded setting.Rajang specifically, they talk about something along those lines.It was for some MH anniversary, but I can't for the life of me find the video though.Anyway, love the work you're doing anon and seeing more posted
>>97369572Thanks! The actual in universe explanation to how the fibers work is a bit more esoteric and tied to the "magic" system of the setting, but the functional aspect of it is that the fibers can be in either a mobile/flexible state where they can move around and bend, or become rigid and gain tremendous tactile strenght, allowing them to withstand great amounts of punishment without breaking (though they are not invulnerable, just extremely resistant to physical forces that would otherwise shred them in their motile/flexible state).The fiber blades and ranged applications of this tech also utilize this flexible/rigid state alteration principle for how they work, plus the element of heating up the fibers to cut trough materials. Essentially, a fiber blade can be a flexible and moving whip like cord at one moment before suddenly attaining a hard, and rigid cutting edge/tip that heats up enough to just cut trough flesh. This process does consume the fibers though as the intense heat burns them which is why fiber weapons often have spools of these fibers attached to them from which they can draw more.The ranged fiber weapons in turn just project a thread of fibers at rapid speeds at targets, and become rigid near the moment of impact, the momentum of the fibers then pushing this rigid hot spike of fibers trough the target. Some even lose this rigidity just after the impact, unfurling in a violent fashion inside of the target, the still heated fibers making a mess out of the innards of the target.
>>97369676Is there anything is this world that isn't flesh?
Sci fi setting giving all the missiles bug names. Right now I'm torn on one, a smaller defense missile meant to intercept and destroy larger ones, between calling it the Fire Ant or making a Big O reference by calling it the Louse and giving it the military jargon code DOR-03.What name sounds better?
Since my cosmology is fundamentally gender essentialist, women can't really *use* magic, but they're the only ones who can pass it on. The only way to be a Mage is for your mother to be a Mage as well, even if she doesn't have any control over it.However, they can still use wand magic because it's technically the wand doing the magic, a common loophole that allows governments to use 100% of their magical population......but I don't like this explanation. Magic in my setting works on the principle of the Soul commanding the Body "inside" the Mage, and therefore the Mind commanding Matter outside it. It makes no sense for a wand, a material substance, to do Magic by itself.
dead before bump limit edition▶What is Kingdom Death?Kingdom Death is a tabletop miniature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.Prologue Narration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLc8dHv0AcThe Game is broken up into 3 phases:1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97372128And while I agree with you that the game does have a large amount of those "You die" scenario in the hunt phase, the vast vast majority of them actually have some type of "counter-play" associated with them. Many of them are involved in some capacity with rolling on hunt events, but typically will typically have some type of bonus if you have a whip, sickle, pickaxe, etc. The whip I think is a perfect example here, with traditionally lower damage during the showdown, but with a good specialization and mastery, it's a support tool that excels when brought in addition to another weapon for the hunt phase.Harvester is the outlier precisely because it is not really generating an interesting story. You simply decided to bring (in core) one or two early game items that can fill out some slots, and you were punished for it by having that character be killed, your hunt will probably end in failure because it's early on, and now you're down 4 characters and 8 additional resources. If it's before the butcher, your settlement is basically over and now you're going through the motions of watching the rest of your settlement get clubbed to death like a bunch of baby seals.I get that your argument is all about flavor and story-telling, but I personally don't find the story "rocks fall, everyone dies" to be interesting.
>>97372240I think you're vastly overstating the effect of one survivor dying in the hunt phase. I've had plenty of hunts with a dead hunt phase survivor or 1-2 round showdown phase death come back just fine. And even if it doesn't a wipe is not the end of the world in this game. Maybe a wipe plus a bunch of other bad luck on top of it, but just a wipe by itself is basically nothing you're going to have 1-2 of those a campaign anyways. The game is way more forgiving than you think it is, and survivors (especially early) matter a lot less than you make it out to be.
>>97372293It's actually more the loss of 8 resources if things go south that I would find back breaking than losing the survivors in the early game. But my own biases of being historically unlucky in my own campaigns is bleeding in here, I am certainly an outlier for early game wipes.
>introduce 3 friends to the game>one of them decides to play as a bard and crafts the whisker harp>proceed to roll the 1% instakill event during the hunt phase>now "the bard" gets to sit on their phone for the entire showdown (with a non 0 chance to abandon playing the game after that entirely) while the rest of us struggle against the quarry because fights are balanced around 4 survivors, not 3Amazing game design, bravo :^)

Tabletop RPGs tend to split up crafting into a high number of crafting subskills for every individual area of expertise. There's no question that crafting is still extremely powerful despite forcing you to go through this hassle, but what are your thoughts on which particular crafting subskills tend to be the most useful in the context of a TTRPG campaign, be it a medieval or modern or sci-fi setting?Pic related is from Legend of the Five Rings, where I'll be playing a crafter soon, and I intend to invest heavily into crafting. But feel free to talk about any game you've had experience with.
>>97364965Entropy
>>97370179Is that small or large PP? They're two different editions yknow.
he's STILL seething LOL
>>97362482I opt to make Craftsmanship its own skill that doubles as the performance skill in most of my TTRPGs. Sometimes, I gate crafting certain equipment behind other skills, but that just means anyone can craft things they're specialized in. For example, if you have a high Armor skill you can craft your own armor.
>>97373279Meme non-issue.

>>97343357any table top rpg that explicitly depicts Transgenders is edgy to me.
>>97350201That is not being edgy though, it's just using real life history to enahnce gameplay. You could have pointed to the actual edgy stuff (like Islam being a false religion fabricated by the Ahl-i-Batini to spread their paradigm or Doktor Totentanz the Tzimisce tranny)

has anyone given though to the state of mathematics in fantasy settings and how it affects the setting and characters in it? e.g.>tribes in not!Africa struggle with trade because they can't count past 2>how traders to calculation to determine prices, risk, etc>how well astronomers understand the motion of the heavens>how the characters think (i.e. logically, or numerically, or in a poetic / non-mathematical way)
>>97367777Not necessarily, which is the appeal of imagination.
>>97367640>>tribes in not!Africa struggle with trade because they can't count past 2As far as I know, this is a lot more common in South America and Australia than in Africa.
>>97367640Not in fantasy, but I did have first contact between two of my sci-fi species be weird because the first thing they did to try and communicate (no universal translators in setting) was send prime numbers to each other.Except for one species, the first eight prime numbers are:>1,2,3,5,7,11,13,17While for the other the first eight are:>2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19That's right, one of them considers "1" prime and the other doesn't. Basically the former just don't mind the fact that all of the theorems involving prime numbers have to say "except for 1". The latter think that they're *lunatics*.So far neither has made contact with any other species so they don't know whether it's common for 1 to be considered prime or not.
>>97367969You are in no place to give that advice.
>>97372817yes, but the truly primitive (e.g. piraha) have no concept of time, nor do they care.as for civilizations, accurate timekeeping has been a relatively recent development. also, most people would probably not have cared much until the industrial revolution and the creation of shift labor. basically, a a peasant needs to know what day it is, a factory worker needs to know the hour (so that he can start his shift on time), and I need to know what minute it is in order to make it to my next zoom meeting on time.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_timekeeping_devices

I want to have the party pick up a cursed item that turns the group against each other from withinBut how to subtly affect them without it being obvious something is wrong?
>>97372906>that turns the group against each other from withinThe item gives a typeless bonus to all attributes and a free floating feat. Watch as they tear each other apart for who gets to have itThe curse? The bonuses are fake, the item just IDs as if it hadRemember to wear a helmet
>>97372906The item draws a certain monster type to it (this isn't a property of the item itself but of the monster, so it is much harder to detect), but the item grants immunity to one of their most dangerous effects (for example, a talisman that grants immunity to ability score drain but acts as a beacon for wraiths to cross over from the negative energy plane into random nearby material locations). Alternatively, if your campaign is set in a more exotic location or somewhere where this could happen, a radiation storm seems to arrive (but is actually generated by the item), and the item grants protection from it. Or, to rip off of >>97373089, the item is loudly telepathic and announces to anyone who interacts with it that it will grant great powers (this could be anything from flying to a wish depending on your campaign) to the first person to perform a ritual using it, which can only be completed once and must be uninterrupted for several hours.
>>97373089>>97373214The inspiration for this was my friend wanted to get a birthday present for his sister, and we were in a knife store and they had this dagger polished to a mirror shine and a skull design on the handle with jewels in its eyesSo I said it's the rule of cool, definitely get her thatWell fast forward to Christmas and she regifted it back to him because she absolutely hated it and it caused a big argument, ended up causing a big blow out with the whole family airing all their dirty laundry they've been keeping bottled upYears later I bring it up and he said "yeah..my family never really recovered from that one"So I thought cool, cursed family dagger

Or a different one in the same book. >>97364040>city got a clean nuke and life got fucked because of lack of items so most people are living in closed groupswhats weirder is that the scavs in the time are nice, and not obviously grabbing everything thats glued to the floor.

>>97372633I couldnt find "the" version with the cow scene replacement so RIP.
>>97372510>What are some things DCGO gets wrong? I was interested in trying it,I believe a major one is how it processes attacking procedures.something like EoT DNA into CS Omni can attack twice with Matt and Tai when it should only be once.and "This digimon may attack" effects dont work quite right either. Specifically, they're not tapping to swing right away when it matters for some decks
>>97373134yeah they don't process individual effects as an actual whole individual effect and others effects can interrupt it.this is especially egregious with the "this digimon may attack effects" as you mentioned.most of the time this is the problem, a lot of people play this wrong in person as well and sometimes make mistakes about it, but its usually pretty minor, dcgo does it in a lot of really bad ways.for example if you jogress into aegisdramon with plesiomon effect, you would attack before aegisdramonas when digivolving would even activate, since you are still resolving the plesio effect.but DCGO makes you do the when digivolving and all other effects from the evo and what it plays out on play before resolving the attack from the plesio effect.so aegisdramon on dcgo just doesn't get to unsuspend it self from its on evo playing out a seadra and you miss out on like 1/3 of your attacks from the jogress.chaosdramon has the same issue but its less relevant for the deck because the timing it resolves them doesn't really matterthe omnimon + matt & tai issue I think got fixed but it was a brute force solution that didn't actually fix why it was happening.they have some problems with vortex eot ordering as well
>>97373207>yeah they don't process individual effects as an actual whole individual effect and others effects can interrupt it.To be fair that's because there ARE interruptive effects in digimon and those fuckups are basically concessions to the fact that they had to code for interruptives (protection mostly)
>>97373235yeah but interruptive effects are uncommon enough that you can just specifically flag them and don't let other effects activate.this is only a problem if you didn't think through what you were making and these were band-aids to late additions to the game you needed to design around to make work, which isn't the case at all. you know interruptive effects exist, you should design you sim around them, no other card game simulators have this issue despite having more complex state based activation.this isn't an "oops an off by 1 error snuck through" its a failure at the fundamental design level
