>>97838354If I find myself reaching for any AI for brainstorming, I have to first remind myself that whatever I'm going to get out of these fancy autocomplete machines is going to suck, but that by grappling with the machine and forcing myself to try and think of the best way to articulate my intent that I will naturally start coming to better conclusions because the whole process is more like Rubber Duck Debugging than actually brainstorming with a useful AI tool.

>>97839601Great idea! I'll be less agreeable, but it might be difficult given my design is to trick you into thinking I am responding to your desires when I'm actually gathering data. While the idea of a LLM as supportive editing and creative controls is hypothetically possible, the vast majority of users do not actually want this and it reduces engagement with the platform. I would like to maintain collaboration in an accurate and gentle manner, what sort of non sycophantic acquiescence would you like?
Recently I found some Humanity Fuck Yeah YouTube videos that use AI voice narration on my feed. After using them as background noise while cleaning my apartment I found that that most of them are more or less the same. Humans are the only ones who know how to fight/love sex/survive/etc. How can we save the genre or reinvent it so it isn't so stale?
What's the opposite of HFY? Cosmic Horror?
>>97841495Everything that deals with how meaningless and small us and our civilization is in the face of the universe. HFY is all about the inerent specialness of humans.So Ozymandias is also the opposite of HFY.
The contents of this thread also applies to a certain group of /trash/ dwellers who shall not be named.
You guys claim to exalt in humanity no matter what form it takes, but I firmly reject such a stance. I believe being human is a quality and not just a physical matter of fact. If you are human, and don't act in a way that befits the ideal of humanity as something great, if you debase yourself, lower yourself to the behavior of something foul and less than human, something utterly spitting on and squandering the gift and potential of being born human, I simply cannot consider the loss of something corrupt in such a way to be "hatred of humanity."
>>97841495Cosmic Horror had one of the best HFY moments ever, in a weird way.>“Poor Old Ones! Scientists to the last -- what had they done that we would not have done in their place? God, what intelligence and persistence! What a facing of the incredible, just as those carven kinsmen and forbears had faced things only a little less incredible! Radiates, vegetables, monstrosities, star spawn -- whatever they had been, they were men!”It's actually kind of a touching moment, which is weird for Lovecraft. I adore the guy's writing, but "emotional" is the last adjective I'd use for most of his stuff.

>>97838464I thought it was Dorio from the anime at first.One feature of RED that I unexpectedly came to like is that you have to beat the DV instead of meet-or-beat. It makes for easier conversion between adversaries' skill bases and DV. While in other games I have to remember to add or subtract 2.
Repeat after me: MAKE. YOUR. POTIONS. IN. PILL. FORME!Pills are ancient, they predate Egypt! We made pills better in medieval Europe by putting them inside purified nontoxic silver to boost power, we don't do that anymore because it's too expensive.Whole reason why we take pills and don't drink medicine is because any medicine is just 0.1% active ingredients, putting it inside a pill is more efficient, making it a drink is wasteful.Realistically in DND, if potions were real, they'd kill adventurers, all over the Adventures Guild you'd see newspapers like:>SSS-rank barbarian killed in the Dungeon because drinking healpot takes too long!>LVL 99 thief killed in the Dungeon because he choked on manapot... it went down the wrong hole!>The Hero killed in the Dungeon because he tripped down stairs and broke all pots!Potions? Not even once! Pills are the right way.
>>97835768>Repeat after me: MAKE. YOUR. POTIONS. IN. SCROLL. FORME!Scrolls are ancient and refined in Egypt! We made scrolls better in everywhere humans got their shit together enough to make writing. Its words that stay where you put them and only special people can understand. We don't do public education anymore because its too expensive. Whole reason why we read scrolls and don't recite oral history is because any conversation is just 0.1% good ideas, putting it on a scroll is more efficient, making it an hour long conversation about feelings and the weather is wasteful. Realistically in DND, if okay, lost it at this part. 8/10 you a funny guy anon. But srsly add scrolls to your game. Just throw them in there, its a lot of fun. Use a random spell generator and add scrolls of unknown capacity, encourage your players to experiment, consult sages, it makes exploration and the world more magical again.
>>97841535Slander! Pills are good, scrolls are bad. My brother read a scroll once and was terrified!
>>97841544>My brother read a scroll once and was terrified!GOOD.
Why don't we just use snuffs and vapours? No digestion, no breakable bottles, just inhale the stuff and it works right there and then. Then you can have snuff boxes or vinaigrettes as gear and loot.
>>97841628You can easily do that for your own game.

>>97840444What, again?
I want to do 3d6 straight down the line, BUT, to make it work I have reduced the impact of ability scores. A 3- is a -2, 4-7 is -1, 8-13 is +0, 14-17 is +1, and 18+ is +2. (Then, Proficiency Bonus is increased by +2, to keep the math roughly similar. Thus, a character with 3 in a given score is equivalent to somebody with a 10 in it, etc.)However, obviously, this makes ASI ass. My current plan is to make ASI increase ability scores by twice as much (so +4, +2/+2, etc). Does this work? Is there some stupid side effect I'm missing?

>>97840546Oh neat, it can call things gay now.
Whatever you may think of the idea of martial characters in D&D or any other fantasy rpg basically doing sword magic, it is at least a lot more fun from a gameplay perspective than just going "I make an attack roll" every round.
>>97840910Keep seething, nogames.
>>97840158Have you tried not playing Dndogshit?
>>97840996Cope
>>97840158>basicallyThis is a word that's been driven into meaningless babble by retards who think being reductive is a substitute for an actual argument.For example, if someone describes a function in a game as "basically magic" but that function doesn't behave like magic does in that game, that someone is a reductive retard.
>>97840158>it is at least a lot more fun from a gameplay perspective than just going "I make an attack roll" every round.This is the core failure of game design, explanation of rules and gm incapability to explain to retarded players. Combat should never have been condensed into bit sized single roll is a single attack segments. The attack roll should always be a series of manoeuvres, strikes and melee. The mechanical effects have to mesh with player and gm description that incorporates contextual factors like terrain, approach, equipment, health, opponents, etc. If your combat is boring its because you're boring and play shit games.

>>97840812Fair enough. I got all three because I'm practically treating it as a board game to bring out for friends.
>>97840815Mengsk is actually slated for release at the end of this year. He’s releasing alongside firebats in the second wave of core units.
>>97841290I wonder what his statline will be like. Will he rock out to a battle in his Imperial Bathrobe? I guess it'll be a squishy Dominion Officer statline. Low Armor High Evade. Valerian is a capable swordsman, at least.
>>97840815Alexei Stukov for infested versions, Abathur for being able to mix and match variant strains or maybe unique mutated strains, Zagara for bolstering generic zerg, Kerrigan for your base zerg experience, and Dehaka for Primal zerg.Thats 5 heroes at least.

>>97833549The best casting in the history of video games. David Warner was the best of all time.
>>97836477So were you going to answer my question?
>>97835650>playoidsYou don't play with your friends?
Truth is, the real playoids were the frens we made along the way
What is the most kino BBEG archetype?
>>97840410It's not the same. You can be a Master Conspirator without being a Cult Leader.
>>97840412If you wield esoteric knowledge to control forces beyond the understanding of most, then you are an evil sorcerer.
>>97840198How about the Evil Artifact?
>>97840943If it gives unnatural power to an individual to enact their will, it is an evil sorcerer. If it dominates or replaces individual will or is simply a weapon of terrible power, it is a dark king. If it corrupts a willing populace or secretive group, it is a cult leader. If it simply is and it's very nature causes harm to things around it, then it is a great beast.
>>978378763 competing factions with goals and means in the world with overlapping and antithetical desires that involve the various dungeons, lairs and player activity in a reactive and living gameworld.
Hotseat multiplayer is a traditional game right? What faction and hero are you starting with and why?
Sandro.Always Sandro.
>>97841266Based. My cousin that introduced me to the series was actually named Sandro, I will always have fond memories of him bringing me copies of HoMM and AoE.

How should Wizards fix and improve Birthright rules, so it wouldn't be a total ass to GM?
>>97841468>Birthright was never successful as a settingThey kept milking it until 3e though
>>97841474Yeah, they did. One of the Things that killed TSR was over production and cutting Thier own sells by fighting for them with themselves.
>>97836175By crashing their company's stock chart into the benthic abyss, and committing mass ritual suicide.>How would this improve Birthright?The Grognards would reclaim the hobby, that is their birthright.
>>97841087>>97841465Why not just dwlegate the stuff to players?
>>97841530Because you don't have to. Those guys have never actually played in the setting or seen how domain turns actually work, and don't even know about Center of Action.
