Ok, so we're gonna make a creature battler based on netrunner mechanics, the theme will be biblical mafia waifus fighting with the four elements, and all the stats will be measured in units of minimum one billion.when do we start
>>97351722Yeah, when the arcade first dropped in the US. It was surprisingly addictive, even though the gameplay was stupendously fucking simple. Some chick I took on a date there got one play and won the card I wanted from it. She didn't part with the card either. I never saw either of them again.

>>97350506>>97350858I'm objectively correct. The most prolific pre-industrial battles are>Hannibal defeating the romans by...surrounding them>The english defeated the french by...shooting at them as they walked forward>Napoleon was defeated because...their lines were biggerThat's about it really. Pre-gunpowder warfare was just endless hordes of Spearmen smashing into each other. Boring! Technology and centuries of tactical experience made WW2 the culmination of all warfare that can never be surpassed. Anything that gets close to WW2 in scale or complexity spells the end of the world in nuclear hellfire. WW2 was the climax of human military history
>>97351443You should read more dude.
>>97351607I've been interested in Antiquity. I've read about the battles Rome fought against the Greeks during their conquest. Problem is they tend to be very boring, luring the Greeks into rocks was the most exciting thing that they did.
>>97351443gay
>>97351627I think this denies the rich variety of tactics used that depended upon different terrains and doctrines before you even get onto sieges. You might enjoy reading about Heraclius’s campaigns against the Sassanians in the Armenian highlands for example.Also for babby’s first medieval warfare, read Runciman’s History of the Crusades. It is read-but don’t-cite tier these days, but it’s a brilliant read. If you don’t want to BE Bohemond of Taranto by the end of the first volume, I’ll eat my hat.>>97348964If you used the Marshal’s bannerman as Boniface, what did you do with the figure of the Marshal himself? Also can I ask what drew you to the 4th crusade and what your plans are campaign wise post painting?
Is it better to have fully anthropomorphic beast people in your settings or just humans with like animal ears and tails?
>>97350929You don't even need an "anime" style to make it work, just any non-realistic style at all improves it vastly.
>>97348181I’m not so paranoid as to think that every depiction of an animal person is furry. None of the examples here scream furry, they’re simply beast folk that wouldn’t look out of place in any fantasy setting. You are seeing furries where they don’t exist my friend
>>97350808Also the human face is literally just copy-pasted onto the CGI head.That adds a few more notches into the uncanny valley.

Thread #02 Lean Winter on the TundraPrevious Thread: >>97090196Welcome to /un0/, an RP thread for playing a World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness Hunter. For any OOC questions about WoD/CofD, check the official general. >>97224887Rules:>We are acephale. There is no storyteller, we are not a quest.>This thread is based primarily but not exclusively in the nWoD/CofD game Hunter: the Vigil. However, Vigil is defined by being highly setting agnostic, with a system for creating entirely custom monsters that do not exist in other WoD/CofD games. Thus, you have significant freedom in what you want to play and what you want to hunt. Feel free to play a member of the Society of Leopold, or a member of the Lucifuge hot on the tail of a Lasombra.>Namefagging is encouraged but by no means mandatory.>Keep in mind that even highly experienced Hunters typically only have fractured pieces of the puzzle, and every table has their own canon. The night is dark and full of misinformation.>/un0/ is conceived of as an experimental end to end encrypted program that is very hard to compromise, retains very little data and purges that data regularly. Please play an actual Hunter.>Spoiler any OOC discussion.Happy hunting. Unless this thread somehow takes off like a rocket, this will be the last un0 thread for the foreseeable future. Towards the end of the thread, please give your feedback in regard to these shorter, limited run RP threads.
>>97342709Right yeah, that sounds...ah that's why. It was asked before. I think. That's what I get for recovering from a concussion. Anyway, I bet that first hunt will be righteous. Having a student to mentor sounds fun, I suppose I should keep an eye out.
>>97345404Take your time, make sure to vet them properly and keep an eye on them. You do that and then decide if your potential candidate has what it takes to srart training.
Do you give credence to the notion of benign or even benevolent supernaturals?
>>97350957Perhaps in a passive kind of way. Like a bear sharing hunting grounds with a tiger because what they eat are separate concerns.
>>97350957Not for a second. They're as "benevolent" as they need to be in order to fool you.

He was a Wagnerboo but Goebbels and others looked down on him for it, and he did stuff like have big lavish Wagner productions put on and then give soldiers free tickets, which they would immediately try to sell or trade for cigarettes.Hitler was weirdly close to a goofy li'l sitcom dude at the same time as he was a brutal, insane dictator.

>>97351546Also, I don't think Arc Dream have done anything with Chinese intelligence assets. I've heard credible rumors of Canadian nationalists getting murdered by CCP agents to cover up PLA training operations on Canadian soil with Mounties hiding the bodies, and the NYPD has caught numerous Chinese psyops/cyberattacks in progress. Wumaos covering up shit on behalf of a rogue CCP agent is something just waiting to be written. If they did do something involving the "sharty is the new Phenom-X" idea, Kuz being an SVU-8 triple-agent would be literally right there for them to write inArc Dream and co are just cowards that can't let go of anti-Bush-Sr. counterculturalism and don't want to go any further down the chudspiracy rabbit hole than needed to understand Qslop boomerisms
>>97351311>>97351546>>97351593
>>97351311>>97351546>>97351593Eh, I can understand why they don't want to dip their toes into current day conspiracy bullshit, it seems a lot less fuckin' fun than it did in the early days of the Internet. "The government is being controlled by greys, who themselves are a proxy for the mi-go" is a lot more fun than "the government is all pedophiles, and that's probably not even that far off from the truth."I do wish they'd actually do more with what they have. The outlaw/program split is, to me, a lot more interesting than than the conspiracy vs. mj12, but they've done nothing with it and every module is written in such a way that you could be either with no friction. The program being subtly (or not so subtly) compromised by March Industries is a cool idea that they have done nothing with. The Great Race vs. the Lloigor is another interesting concept they introduce and then completely abandoned. It's also annoying that the two big campaigns out are so fucking similar (oh cool, two era spanning meditations on the pointlessly of the fight and your utter lack of agency.), and the default mode of play ends up being, more or less, monster of the week. The Borealis Campaign for Fall seems more like something they could have in the modern day, chasing or dismantling a single threat, and it seems like that sort of game would be a lot more suited to the system that they've written.It doesn't matter because I can't run the game for my group anyway, but when you consider that DG the game as been out for almost a decade, it's pretty fucking disappointing that theyve failed so hard to publish anything interesting with the (in my opinion, only) interesting hooks in the handlers book.
>>97351811I'm too young to have been around during the days of the old conspiracy bullshit, but I vaguely recall hearing that the whole thing with the Greys being in league with the government was actually really a reflection of the countercultural movement of the time period after Bush Sr. was seen as a cuck for the MIC, and I believe it.I feel like it really does reflect the similar point that "the government is thoroughly infiltrated by pedos," it's really not far off from "the government is owned entirely by the lockmartbellraytheonhoneywell cartel that is subservient to a higher, occultist power." Arc Dream is just lazy, and more concerned with doing remasters of old content than doing anything new and cool.We're living in one of the most interesting times ever, with a nearly crystal-clear view of what's happening in the world with almost zero censorship, and a mass collective recollection of insane amounts of data, and Arc Dream is too scared to jump on any of it. I have zero respect for them or their shitty publishing agreements. DG may as well just go open-source entirely and let the setting turn entirely fandom-run.
>>97351811If you don't want to play with GWOT and current day conspiracies, do not make a current day Delta Green. There's no way around it, it's the foundation of the concept. >>97351885The NWO making a deal with Greys was a common kook theory of the time, they just shoehorned the migo in. Check out Behold a Pale Horse for a good sample of that kind of schizo conspiracy they were initially pulling from.

>>97351804I guess its a bit up to interpretation. It's not exactly brutal but "realistic" or down-to-earth where even the things you've tend to encounter are given simple and descriptive names, and the magic the players use lacks the typical mysticism and reverence that you'd find in WDW.>>97351879It's up to you if you want to start it. I do want to know more about how things are going to go down for this.
>>97351897I keep thinking I want WDW until I remember that I hated the spell system
>>97351526The start with the Yokai was properly otherworldly and seeing Yae introduce Kaoru to her work was a nice way of them to bond. Also I think I recognize the murders you're basing this crime scene on, and it's kino if so.
>>97351857When I first read the details of the murders and Yae mentioned that the killer knew what evidence to leave out, my first thought was law enforcement. Kinda feels like Dexter. I wonder how this one’s gonna get caught, considering he has no powers and the resolution might as well be like an ordinary police drama. I can see Kaoru helping to track down the culprit by confirming he was an acquaintance of that one victim as soon as Yae starts tracking down suspects, since Kaoru handles research best out of her detective skills. Maybe it’d be cool if Yae and Kaoru arrive to a conclusion like “why would both victims try to dial 119 right as they were dying? Oh! It was a clue all along!”, that’d be really cool.>Shu is cookedWallahi…I’ll try to come up with stuff for the Yoshio Fukuzawa side of things, but I’m gonna need Kohakuanon to explain Garasu no Omoide and the Urban Hell to me because I think they showed up one time in Cross Examination and I’d like to know more about them so I can write this stuff properly.
>>97351924>It's not exactly brutal but "realistic"Interesting, I wouldn't know since I didn't play it.>I do want to know more about how things are going to go down for this.I think the mistake started here >>97349906Reading this and the answers I was under the impression EO was already close to WDW. These >>97349890 >>97349700 were the original ideas.So I guess there would be a couple of guilds to flesh out if we want to try it. A pro nature faction and a pro capitalism/progress faction. Or if we want to go more for a SoL feel just a Village faction against everyone else.>>97351969I will be honest, I completely forgot it even had one until I read this and the memories came flooding back.

>>97349482The context changed, because among other things, suddenly the presence of a crusade fleet to report back to is no longer a guarantee, and your willful blindness to that fact does you no credit.Modern warrants grant explicit permission to trade with xenos. 30k warrants are more desirable because their conditions are generally far more permissive, and you can reasonably assume their wording is more along the lines of "May trade freely with any such polities as seen fit".You're making a false association, because you don't have wording for any 30k warrants that includes the word 'xeno', because you don't have any wording for 30k warrants at all.

>>97350254NTA, but despite liking the splats, those plots always came like weak excuses to justify the existence of Solaroids, specially in 3e, where the devs don't give a concrete reason for the Deathlords sharing shards with the yozis.
>>97350446We're going to get into personal opinion territory here, but the box *and* other parts of the setting that treat Exaltation as a kind of item or thing lessens it. It renders what is a blessing, a form of enlightenment, or one's own heroic reserves into something just pasted onto you. You might say "Exalted had always been like that", and that may be correct, but it's still wrong and always bothered me.
>>97350492I understand you, specially thanks for 3e, but the box gets easier to understand if you see it as a container of souls.
>>97350492>that treat Exaltation as a kind of item or thing lessens it. It renders what is a blessing, a form of enlightenment, or one's own heroic reserves into something just pasted onto you.I have a kind of perpendicular view I guess, when the Celestial Exaltations aren't bound to a Chosen, they're incredible magical artifacts, an artificial third soul blessed by the Incarnae, but still ultimately just a thing. It's when they fuse with a human soul and unite with a Chosen do they become something worthy of veneration, something truly awe-inspiring.

>>97349059Fuck those guys.They are all gay, and they fuck the balance when you're the only guy with a planeswalker.I know, because I was that guy; got all my mates to go for the promotional free deck; everything was fine 'til I got a Gideon.It whacks the game balance; I drew that fucker and my mates povo decks crumbled.The mechanic is clearly a bolt-on, poorly balanced and poorly thought out.Needless to say, everybody got bummed out and stopped playing.Because planeswalker cards don't just suck conceptually, they suck the fun out of the game, and that's worse.But I digress.I have forsaken TCG's; they are of the devil.
>>97349059I actually don't hate planeswalkers from a mechanical standpoint, even if I think it's pretty unnecessary. They have done, and would do fine, as legendary creature cards.My beef is that the shift in portraying a wide cast of new planeswalkers as main characters was part of some very bad story decisions. We kind of saw two major sides of Magic before the Mending:>Planeswalkers as part of the conflict with Phyrexia, surrounding the life of Urza>The exploration of worlds where Planeswalkers are either wholly absent, or are more important for the background of the worlds that things are happening in, rather than the main focus charactersWhat we moved on to is:>"No, guys, we're totally not trying to capitalize on superhero team tropes right now. Who cares about the integrity of lore for the worlds we're visiting? It's all about the characters we can't write well! They're planeswalkers like you, so we want to lean into them, but we're losing faith in story's ability to be sold, so we're going to drop the ball right after we make this huge change in how we market the game!"
