>>97343510>OG Delta Green combines the greatest hits conspiracies from the last century>nu Delta Green is focused on shallow contemporary stuffSo what modern conspiracies do you suggest they include if they’ve already exhausted all the material, hotshot? Pizzagate? Qanon? Cults that turn college grads trans? What exactly is deep and clever enough that it should make into modern Delta Green?
After a nightmare I had last night, I've come to a conclusion that zombie media has been doing it wrong. Zombies are way WAY more fucking terrifying when you can't tell someone has turned until you interact with them. Bonus points if they hopelessly cry for help early on during the infection.>To avoid friendly fire and to avoid hiding from help you have to make yourself known to potential threats>Anyone sent in to clean up the situation is much more likely to shoot first and ask questions never>Mercenary responders can be willing to even kill each other to claim killed competitors as zombie heads taken which puts you in crossfire and endangers any well-meaning respondersAlso exploding zombies need keratinous skin growths for shrapnel spikes.The zombie film series I watched in the nightmare was scarier than the shit in the nightmare actually trying to kill me.
>>97345114The cool old conspiracy that already got adapted into numerous movies and books? Good and very cool. The cringe new conspiracy that is talked about on 4chin and that everyone and their grandma saw on Fox News? Bad and shallow.
>>97346884Most conspiracies are shit either because they're true like the smoking industry conspiring to conceal the fact that that shit causes cancer or because the people that believe them are insufferable assholes that act in the worst fucking ways possible in furtherance of their tinfoil beliefs.The rare exceptions are the ones where the entire thing is a joke like birds being invented by the CIA to spy on us or shit like flat earth where the belief generally has no real world way to act on it that impacts other people and we get to laugh at a bunch of mentally ill people as they rave like lunatics and occasionally get punched by an astronaut or blow themself up doing a DIY rocket launch.

>>97307984After Andris had managed to stabilize and drag Lancel out of the clearing a muscular centigor emerged from the forest. She tread softly toward the fallen Skivare and looked down upon her for almost a minute. With a swift chop of her machete she severed Skivare's head, picked it up, and traveled the beast paths to one of the Bleeding rose minor herdstones. She spent the rest of the day cleaning the skull and left it at the base of the new shrine, returning every day make sure it was still there and grow her hatred. Slowly more of the Bleeding rose herd came as well over the following days.Lancel takes several days to recover. His severe concussion slowed his recovery and addled his memory. When he is awake he hollers at anyone nearby that the woods are infested with black beasts out to kill mankind. The few men left of his retinue eye each other as though he's lost his mind, while the elves do their best to hide their reactions entirely. It takes a full week, but eventually he has recovered enough for the elves and men to put together a caravan to return them to the north. Skogsra took notice of the centigor who performed the respect given to Skivare and the offering of her flesh. Here was the first time one of the brays have done something new, something the brays chose to do themselves to honor their fallen leader. Skogsra rewards their new culture with a new creation: the black fountains, the first of which is built using the skull of Skivare herself. As for the centigor, she is afforded the gift to choose her own name. The new Beastlord, Warhoof Kastrerande, now leads the Bleeding Rose Brayherd.Good unusable gens - This shirt barely trying - https://files.catbox.moe/ksbmgk.jpgMore Kastre - https://files.catbox.moe/ar0qs4.jpghttps://files.catbox.moe/e8ni02.jpg

>>97345472Hobgoblins are just human sized goblins that aren't retarded and have militaristic slant to them.

>>97346891People have made goblin femboys, it shouldn't be that hard to do the same with their bigger cousins.

Finally. This will lower the price Warhammer in the US. Right?
it will increase it.
>>97337588WH prices in the US are entirely about profit maximisation as a monopoly with a luxury good and not at all related to actual cost. Thinking that a local factory would decrease prices is ludicrous. If anything they'd slap a "made in the us" on it and increase prices. It might improve stock/availability though, but I suspect some of the stock issues are deliberate fomo-building from GWs US division.In short WH is expensive in the US because the retards there are willing to pay those prices.

So, what's the best inspiration for elves for a 16th century-inspired setting? I guess I have to have to strip away the "High Fantasy" tropes and lean into 16th-century Folklore, Magic and Demonology.

>Ok roll a perception check>*Rolls*>6>*DM squints, adjusts glasses, looks puzzled for a moment.*>okay you think you notice a tiny key sticking out of the bushes nearby that might fit the keyhole to the wizards tower"Why do DMs do this?
>>97334565It's called railroading. It's when the DM has decided what happens beforehand and pretends the player has agency apart from the tactical combat decisions, and also the DM isn't allowing his players to be creative enough to come up with other ways to get to the story beat.In my old party, this type of shit would happen a lot. And I'd come up with a solution and my DM would shoot me down. Luckily my new group will actually make lists like follows:>Is there a window we can climb into>Can we wait for someone or some thing to come out/go in and ambush them>Lets go hire a thief>Lets go find a spell scroll to unlock>Use stone shape on the wall>Lets dig under the tower and break into it from underneath >I set fire to the door>The fighter chops down the door with an axe>Heat metal to weaken the hinges so we can pull it out>I knock on the door, pretending to deliver a message or package from a rival wizard. What package and message? Eeem, I'll put my immovable rod in and tell the wizard his rival says to stick it up his ass and then beg for mercy throughout the interaction.
>>97347319If that's in the order you want to try those things then sorry to tell you man but nobody's opening to your knock after you tried to fucking burn the door down and then take it down with an axe.
>>97345119The suggestion is that you can't work with the failure of your player as a GM. But I think there are plenty of ways to deal with it. I'll keep to dnd vocabulary:Study and practice costs money for reagents and inks and shit. You also need downtime because you use spell slots on the appropriate level when practicing. Some spells require rare reagents / materials to learn that will take some adventuring to obtain.You need to find information on the spell, or have instruction from one who mastered it to attempt it. Experimentation without information or instruction will be more costly in time and reagents, and have a higher chance of failure. You can't attempt to learn a spell without information or instruction unless you have seen it being cast, or you can realistically argue that two or more spells you already know should give you enough insight to start the process. In general, given the risks involved, populated areas don't take kindly to magical teachings and experimentation within their communities. Depending on local laws and customs you might face fines, exile, mob justice, the stink eye, theft/espionage from competitors, general displeasure, whatever. This is part of why wizard towers are a thing.Failure to learn the spell can result in backfired spells. You might:>take some damage>turn yourself into a newt for 1d4 days>block your chakras causing you to lose access to 2 spell slots of the level of the spell> literally blow your hand off>cause you to become "wild magicked" for 1d4 weeks>a thundercloud follows you constantly inside and outside causing you to be soaked and take 1d4 lightning damage every 2 hours until dispelled>you create a rift and 1d6 void imps enter and attack youComment too long.

What’s the edgiest tabletop game of all time
>>97346302>human action is always perfectly ordered towards maximum utilityMeanwhile in reality, pedophiles run the schools and we're letting bankers ethnically replace us while jacking it to anime.
>>97346302>Anon, I promise you, if it were meaningfully advantageous for us to be eating placentas, we would have been doing so for a long time with elaborate reasons to justify itNot that anon, but they're right that placenta is superfood insofar as all "long pig" is superfood. You generally don't get more essential nutrients in nature than your own species cause you're made up of all the shit you need.The reason cannibalism isn't more common is obviously the risk of disease is high as fuck with cannibalism vs other foods and also eating your own is a good way to not effectively grow a population and therefore pass on traditions.That said, while you can mitigate the disease risk from consuming placenta to a large degree nowadays, I would still suggest anyone that wants to pop a fucking Flintstones chewable instead unless you're in a fucking starvation situation or something. It's not something most would need to do and it's not exactly socially normal to want to do so. Shit's a free country, but you might want to talk to a shrink about why that shit sounds like a good idea.
>>97347439But pedophiles get jobs at schools for reasons of utility. Same for you letting brown people do manual labor for minimum wage. Those are horrible examples.
>>97345461Now you say that but Wanted still managed to be worse than the source material. Never doubt the film industry's ability to fuck up.

>>97342391Coruscant has been built up and over so much that nobody, and I mean nobody, knows what is down there.There are over five thousand levels, built up from the crust. Coruscant long ago got so deep that it started hitting the mantle. It's effectively the same as 40k's Terra, but Terra has been done for about 40000 years. Coruscant was already fifty levels (and some of these levels are skyscraper height and more, they're entire ecosystems) deep and a complete planet wide city a hundred thousand years before Ep4. It's only gotten more built up since. The entire world requires constant oxygen processors and atmospheric regeneration, satellites to direct heat, and millennia upon millennia of systems built over and atop each other designed to keep the planet livable and not a co2 ruined rock. It doesn't even have the capability to provide its own oxygen, hence super-oxygenating algae are strategically located across the surface.Even with all that, if weather regulation fucks up just a bit, then you get megastorms big enough to ruin a planetary shield and rip the atmosphere wide open for invasion.Coruscant is fucked up.
