Osmosisposting and fanfic-only cretins are the greatest cancer Exalted has ever had, and the line's been dealing with it so long the tumors have started speaking engrish and applying to work as developers.

While osmosisposting is a problem, getting a name wrong might well just be a case of remembering it wrong. At some point in these threads I remember getting unreasonably annoyed by someone repeatedly calling Salina something like Serina, but that anon appeared to still kmow the substance of the lore while getting the name wrong. Bigger problem than mistakes with names are people coming in with assumptions and expectations not based on anything in the books and then acting like the game's in the wrong for not matching those assumptions and expectations.

>>97360673

I'll be honest, while the Low Key thing is a tip-off, I'm pretty sure he's osmosisposting rather than having read the source material without being biased ahead of time because the way he described No Key is very reminiscent of the way I was wanking him in the threads to prove a point on mortal potential a few years ago. I thought it was just a mistake last thread because he hadn't done that yet.

I'm new to KT, I've assembled and painted a Kommando team and doing a Kasrkin team next and have a few noob questions if anyone cares to enlighten me.
a) are there ways to gain more CP per turn than the 1/2 you get automatically ?
b) Does the skill-at-arms for Kasrkins you can chose each turn costs CP ?
c) What is the point of the Throat-slittas rule ? I don't see the point of being able to charge from concealment since you could give an engage order then charge at the start of your activation anyways. Usecase might be obvious but I feel I'm missing something

>>97360953
>are there ways to gain more CP per turn than the 1/2 you get automatically ?
Yes, but it's team-dependent. If your team has no bonus CP abilities, you make do with the baseline.
>Does the skill-at-arms for Kasrkins you can chose each turn costs CP ?
Only strategy ploys and firefight ploys cost CP. Strategic gambits do not inherently do so.
>What is the point of the Throat-slittas rule ? I don't see the point of being able to charge from concealment since you could give an engage order then charge at the start of your activation anyways.
If you charge from concealment and stop in a position where you are then in cover, you'll end your activation concealed from other enemies. Helps you stay hidden and forces more enemies to come out to deal with the model.

>>97360953
the other anon answered pretty good but to c) i wanne add. if the enemy dies or runs away or you fight against arbites that can shoot into close combat, you are able to be shot and your guy still has the benefits of conceal in that case.

>>97361002
>>97361046
Thank you for the answers, the benefits of throatslittas was indeed obvious and it's seems kind of strong on paper now
How is the match up of Kasrkins vs Kommandos ? I plan to play with my wife and want to let her play the most "OP" team of the two to avoid discouraging her early

>>97361257
Kasrkin are in a pretty rough position, I still consider them the weakest team in the game despite the latest buffs. Their strength is in having a lot of special weapons but they also lack reliable ways to ensure those weapons get to fire and fire at enemies that are valuable. They sort of lack a frontline.
Against kommandos they're actually unusually badly set up by my reconning. They die in melee without being able to really fight back, the ranged specialists that orks do have will just delete them, and their regular guns are too weak to really hurt orks while their special weapons are too valuable to trade. They also have no answer to throat slittas and even when they do get an important shot off they can still get blocked by a good just a scratch at times.
It says a lot about kasrkin that the biggest buff the team has received was the addition of the (currently very overpowered) martyrs tac op. Now when they die in droves trying to take the objective, they can at least get points for it.

>>97356756
The game is a scam to get you to play more games for a longer amount of time to get what you want. Its shit.

Nta, but for me this would benefit her. Since I'd be incredibly powerful, and I'd release propaganda saying I lost a duel and was dominated by my onee-sama. Thus, she'd become even more infamous and feared since no one else could beat me. It would work to her advantage. Might makes right in demon lord society.

I doubt demons would actually care for moral implications of incest or that their genetics even work like normal ones.
If anything, you two fucking would upset the opposition because now they can't pit you against her in a battle for the throne. Plus if there any kids happening down the road it means even more problems for anyone who tries to succeed or depose the current dynasty. Which may actually force them to try to stage a coup now, since it's not like their chances will increase later.

I had something like that on some cloth, base black, then a couple of thin layers of neron abyss (it's old as fuck, discontinued since a lifetime ago and about to die, but that's what I used), then highlights. If you want to stick to your image, I'd add some teal and maybe light green, in order not to use pure white into the mix, or maybe bone white.

I haven't watched any limited coverage yet, but I had that exact fear once I started looking through the set with limited in mind. It seems like Kithkin and Goblins are going to require a lot of anchors in the deck to give you a fighting chance against the other tribes, and Elementals really want you to either pull a bunch of rares/mythics or at least be able to run a bunch of hybrid cards that cross paths with blue or red. Everything else looks either half-baked or mediocre compared to Elves and Merfolk.

What fascinates me is that green has only has a handful of options for colorfixing, with only red and blue getting one landcycling ability EACH, when the only 3+ color cards in the set are Abzan and Sultai, which means most decks probably won't be able to get 3+ off vivid at least half the time. Ironically, your best bet for vivid will probably be tokens made by monocolored cards since they always have their tribe's color identity.

I'm creating my own game
a combination between a card game and a skirmish miniature game

>>97358747
I haven't cared about MTG in the better part of a decade at this point, but from memory the competitive constructed rule of thumb with cards that cost >=4 is that they have to do at least one of several things to be viable:
- be resistant to removal (e.g. hexproof)
- does something useful the turn it hits the field (e.g. haste)
- do something useful even if removed (bloodbraid elf was the posterchild for this back in my time)
- wins the game on the spot if it sticks for a turn

This card does none of those, and thus probably sucks in competitive constructed. A 6/6 that can be chump blocked or removed by a wide range of removal isn't winning the game reliably, and its ability to generate card advantage requires that you already have gas in the tank in the form of other creatures in hand (and your opponent have no removal) which means that IMO it qualifies as a win-more card. I would expect that this would only see play if the lineup of high CMC finishers is so dogshit that any undercosted beefy body is competitive.

Also if you're the defending king always put your king in one of the two squares in front of his pawn when you can, when that's not possible, move it to the side to match his king's movement. You can do things different but when you've seconds on the clock you want simple rules. It's very painful to lose a clearly drawn k vs p ending.

A character's proficiency in any particular field is determined by how the amount they invest in that field, and everyone gets the same total amount to invest in their abilities. End of.

>>97358773
What system portrays elf growth like that?
The "is only an adult at 110-something" from D&D is cultural. Not physical. They are already physically adults at 20.

>>97358043
At this point, I think the reverse psychology is starting to work on me and I'm starting to believe that the /tg/ poster might be someone who just hates this redditor and is making these threads so everyone hates the redditor too.

No way anyone can lack this much self awareness

>>97358773
Even in DnD, elves physically mature at ~20, same pace as humans. It's only that they're considered immature and childish by the elves who are centuries old and so in elven society, you're considered a child until you become a centenarian, and you're referred with your "child name" until that point.

20 year old elves are as physically and mentally mature as 20 year old humans.

>>97348472
STRICT TIME RECORDS MUST BE KEPT!

but yeah, if you're of the mindset where D&D is more like a novel or film, you can do a "6 months later..." transition, cool. although i might get annoyed if it's just for the sake of "now we're doing a WINTER adventure!" like the world's natural order is just a dial being flicked around at random.

I used to roll up planets with GURPS Space for fun, and even the marginally habitable ones were absolute hellworlds.
I can't find my notes right now, but one was basically only liveable at the equator and it was so hot (water planet with primitive algae producing oxygen) and the axial tilt so massive that any change of seasons would probably bring insane storms. I figured the inhabitants would probably live in above ground bunkers you could raise with hydraulics in case of flooding

The most anoying part is not just the armour design, is the absolutely lack of care for the SM concept, and the prostitution of the brand adding more and more slightly different marine types with overlapping roles.
Regular marines are the universal soldiers, they should be able to do almost everything in a decent way.
Now there are 3+ types of phobos plus original scouts. God knows how many different types of range marines all with the same gun like eldars, as many heavy and jetpack marines plus terminators.
The bloat is endless.

>>97360810
I think the Primaspect Warrior approach is too deeply embedded to go away by this point but at least GW seems to be slowly reintroducing/refreshing the pre-Primaris elements of the army, I wouldn't be surprised if we see new Tactical and Devastator squads in the near-ish future. If those get updated the range will have everything you need to make an old-style Marine army with entirely new/current units.

I'm really not looking forwards to the Rhino chassis vehicles being inevitably squatted though, they look miles better than their Primaris replacements.

He should have turned the squirrel human

Bumpfag…

Couldn't follow the discussion anymore, so try to summarize my impression.

A Fantasy game is supposed to embrace the fantastical (things which do not follow logic, are not understandable or are not "logically" possible)

Magic is "supposed" to be fantastical but needs to be codified in order to make a playable game. Thats why so many people try -and fail- to make an obscure magic system. (Just use vancian magic)
Miracles / Warlock do not use magic per se, but let a fantastical beeing do the lifting
Engineers are not fantastical. It follows mathematic formulas. A grenade is perfectly mundane, even if it is functionally identical to wizzard casting fireball (do xd6 damage in a y tile radius)

Mystery/Supernatural as a genre plays in a mundane world but get's "disturbed" by the fantastical
If magic follows logic perfectly and is therefore "mundane" in that setting, we have magitech.

People playing a genre of game but bringing in elements from a different genre should stop beeing confused why no-one likes their setting.

Also dnd is crap and an unholy amalgomation of too many genres.

Not D&D exclusive issue, they can't do it in The Dark Eye either.

Well traditionally bows are hunting weapons. A druid of races with natural affinity for bows can use them. Crossbows were weapons of war. The metal restriction is/was for armor and shields. They were going for a theme.
