>>97359046Depends, if you mean in terms of lore/worldbuilding that's a difficult question. If you mean in terms of design and gameplay the answer is Path of Exile and nothing else comes close, the entire game is built around exploiting the same types of small interactions that high-power formats are full of. It all runs off of keywords and the skill tree and gearing are similar to deckbuilding where your entire build is oriented around one core concept that you boost in several loosely associated ways. Other games in the genre tend to use "Legendary" items as the highest tier of rarity and they're just straight better than everything else, whereas PoE calls them "Unique" items instead because they give you one specific effect that is useless for most builds and rarely outweighs the benefits of having a good stat stick in that slot instead, but if you find a way to exploit it then you can do things that would be impossible otherwise.Chris Wilson, the original lead dev, is a huge Magicfag and collects ABU-era misprints as a hobby, and the whole reason PoE exists is because he wanted to put Magic's design into Diablo 2's gameplay.
>>97360387I think I read somewhere that the name is a reference too.

>>97359046*band roguelikes that branch from Zangband, since they include Amberites, if you just played MtG and let that bias choose what you see on the screen. I particularly like Poschengband 3.5.1, but feel free to try newer/supported branches, I think some anon created Pseudoellisposchengband, and you can play Frogcomposband on mobile if you care for it. Amberites really feel like planeswalkers, their passive regen makes them monsters in battle even if you're a caster, and you can easily color-code your gish with the right paladin domain or wizard-warrior combination.You won't get the broken 3 card combo going infinite that easily, as Angband variants are more "fair" and about numbers going up instead of Ulyssean exploits. But it feels like what MtG felt when I started playing in Onslaught, casually.

>>97360187It's January, man. Pride's not for another five months.
A question about readying actions. Can you add an>orTo the trigger. For example last session my cleric said he would use radiance of the dawn either when all the enemies were within range or at initiative 1. Can you add triggers? How many can you add because it could get silly? If you don’t use it on a trigger so you miss your chance?
>>97360228That's a DM call. Personally, I wouldn't allow it unless a player made a strong case for why they're really two versions of the same trigger.>or at initiative 1Well, that's flatly against the rules, which state that it must be a "perceivable circumstance". Player characters can't perceive the initiative count.

Was the Satanic Panic REALLY that bad or has it been overblown over the decades?
>>97360439No you didn't.
>>97359911>If you're concerned about demons, then you should be concerned about the Medieval fanfictions having insane obviously false descriptions of them>Medieval fanfictions Your opinion is worthless.
>>97360392I mistyped the file name, maybe if anyone saves it they could correct grandeur to grandiosityThat clipping talks about players too.
>>97360453It thought it was, certainly, but in reality only refers to DMs.
>>97359823The problem is that modern Christians don't understand censorship, which means the satanic panic didn't have as much of an effect.SJWs are experts at sabotaging and censoring, which had a much greater effect on nerd culture.
Should an elven wizard be more powerful on average than a human one? Explain your answer.
>>97360182Yes? What about them?
>>97356728I thought that was generally understood.Most systems and book series go through various answers but normally elves make better wizards overall. Either the elves have an extra century or two to learn and master their craft, or they are some inherently magical species that is just plain better by birth. It's all the same in the end. Humanity's strength is always in numbers. They are not the best at anything but they are more populous. They are the smart horde species while orcs, goblins and everything else that wins wars through wave tactics are complete savages. Humans are the mostly intelligent wave tactic savages that can be kind of not shit at things.
>>97356728No, because the person who commissioned that art is a faggot.
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.

>>97360288Exalted made a point of specifically contrasting itself with DnD, though, making a big deal of differences rather than similarities.>Stop being autistic and planting your flag on this hill. Why is this something you're even being this stubborn about? Besides autismWhy are you, anon? I mean, you're right here arguing with me about this. I don't personally think that pointing out the simple fact that distant gods are common in Western fantasy, and that they are a thing in several of the novels Exalted lists as its inspirations, is particularly stubborn or autistic, and the reason I keep talking about this is simply because people keep, or at least one person keeps, bizarrely trying to argue that distant gods is somehow a deconstruction or in any way unexpected.
>>97360315>Why are you being stubborn?>"nuh uh, you!"Step away from the computer and calm down.
>>97360318Anon, I'm not having this discussion here alone. Take a look in the mirror. I will step away from the computer as I need to go to work now, though.
>>97360299>It means that all existing elements of a work are played without the Rule of Cool, Rule of Drama, Rule of Funny, and so on, to see what hidden assumptions the work uses to make its point.Exalted does this at literally every point. Solars coming back to get punked by a death squad because they are still too inexperienced, magic sword factories because why wouldn't you, the prayer trade, heaven being run by incompetent in middle managers. Then you get the stuff that's intentionally contrary, like epic heroes actually being part of an automated system to make them into those superheroes.
Celestial Exaltation should just be described with a new incarnation of an ancient hero instead of reincarnation, as it describes what they are better, even if an Exaltation being a magical third soul makes it a weird grey area for being a reincarnation.

>>97349958Where is this? Can't seem to find it on the mediafire.
Have we done anything with John Browning yet? I've been discussing gun designs with a friend, and the subject of Browning came up with him getting started in this exact period. Of course, most of his more famous designs, the 1911, Hi-Power, .50 M2, etc. are from later, but he was still designing and making several firearms before the turn of the century. And we've nudged the development period of certain designs before, with the Maxim I believe.I'm just divided on whether to keep him pretty normal with a blank cheque from the government post-Paraguay, or work in something Hyperborean. He'd basically be a saint up there with everything he's made/going to make. Alternately, I thought about somebody finding a 1911 or something on the battlefields of Paraguay and it makes its way into his hands (2000 Psychic Wars!)
>>97360094We haven't done enough with the Paraguayan War in general. The Second Oriental Crisis got a massive point by point description, and the Fall of Paris and the survival of the city also has a ton of lore. Compared to them, Paraguay has very little.
>>97360026It's in the TTS.

>>97359435Why would I go out of my way to think of scenarios that would piss myself off?
>>97359435I agree with the other poster, what a daft thought exercise. Probably the worst thing I could think of already happened anyway with Lion pardoning The Fallen, removing anything interesting they and the DA had going. I haven't kept up with nu-lore mostly due to this stupidity, but what drives the Angels now? Are they still all secretive and still race away from engagements, or what's their shtick now?
>>97359530They're still searching for Fallen, but Lion does the initial investigation. If he decides they were cool, they become a Risen. If he decides they were a nigger, then he lets the Interrogator Chaplains do their thing. The Dark Angels are doing what they normally do. The Lion is doing his forest walk thing to put out fires in Nihilus.
>>97355569Fuckin forgot to post before I went to bed. Sorry for leaving you hanging.My personal experience boils down to a single utter shitshow of a game which didn't even last a session, because the GM quite literally opened with "Okay so you're all on a spaceship and you want to go do some heresy, there's three planets nearby, a forgeworld, an agriworld, and a hiveworld, pick one and then go kill some people." The situation devolved from there. Note the distinct lack of "who are your guys and what are their motives, why are you all working together, what's your objective" in there. An hour in and nobody's mentioned my name once, the GM clearly doesn't care to go into enough detail to make tech-use applicable, so I mentally check out, lower the volume to something less distracting, and go finish a video lecture. Get up for a bathroom break, come back, the server's fucking gone. I ask my buddy, another player, what the fuck happened, and he just says "Sometimes you gotta rip it out root and stem, man."Now that's just a shit GM being a shit GM, but it's representative of a subset of people who are only there to do lolrandom dumbfuckery. Black Crusade attracts those like flies, because they see "this game is about being horrible evil chaos bastards" and they think "oh, finally, a game for me!" They don't want to engage with the game as it's meant to be played, they want to use it as an excuse to act in ways that are unacceptable at a table, and they think the subject matter gives them that excuse. Y'know, like FATAL.This is not exclusive to the lolrandoms, either, but I'm fresh out of brain juice so I'm just gonna tell you to imagine That Guy, think about what makes him That Guy, and think about whether he thinks he could use Black Crusade as an excuse for being That Guy. I'm telling you, man, it's like flies. And it's fucking shameful, because the careful political aspects of balancing a chaos warband are actually a compelling premise.
I've seen different artistic renditions of the Emperor but what is cannon? Have the last 10,000 years on the Golden Thrown mummified him or is He still soft flesh and blood?

I know that I am late and I risk to do irreparable damage to the thread but wouldn't a gun need both a super metal and a super powerful gunpowder that may not even exist in the setting to scale as well?
>>97360407Traditionally? NoA bullet that breaks on contact is equally as deadly as one that stays intact, and in several cases the shrapnel can actually do more damageA bullet breaking doesn't stop the momentum of the bulletAs for the gunpowder, It depends. Most modern bullets are not actually stuffed entirely with explosive for obvious cost concernsIf you can picture a stick of dynamite compared to the blast it makes, remember that dynamite is actually an older weaker explosive and newer ones can be much more denseIf there were, for whatever reason, a market for bullets that could kill dragons they would certainly be doable(but would each individually run like 200-400)(And also the chamber would need to be much stronger)(And the recoil would be intense)(Still cheaper and less risky then 20 years of adventuing, but quite hasslesome)
>gameplayFor Centaurs, you should be able to use them as mounts when not in combat if they're lightly armed & armored. I think you could ride into battle with them and fight on their back without overburdening them, depending on your loadout. Squeezing into dungeons and caves might be a bit of a bitch, and your centaur companion may find themselves too cumbersome to accompany you in certain locations. If people in wheelchairs can make do, I'm sure a transmog potion or a shrinking potion might solve the problem.>fantasy settingsThey're more at home here for sure, like having a horse. Some taverns may give you a hard "no" for your centaur companion, but I'm sure regions that are steeped in centaur culture or adjacent ones have accommodations for their unique anatomy. If nothing else, they could help carry your camp supplies and other provisions. >loadouts for fantasyIf you're not riding them, I think they can be pretty well armed and armored- think tower shield and a mace/flail. They also make good spearmen, so I think they'd be comfortable wielding a halbard and similar pike-style weapons. This would be with them wearing plate mail cuirass for the human portion and chainmail curtain over their horse hind quarters, or perhaps some specially fitted Gambeson. Other plate sections could be fitted to their horse body as needed. Archery and crossbows seem like they'd work for ranged options. I've not considered them using magic, but having a fairly mobile spellcaster seems cool as well.

>>97358444yeah i like thatit's easy for me and fun for me to remember how systems work and run them in my head
>>97358092I guess it depends on how often you're doing rolls and checks. I keep them to a minimum for important events to keep the narrative going.
got a first session of Choir of Flesh in. Still getting the hang of the exploration but overall I like the core game loop, it feels flexible enough to expand on with some actual roleplaying but easy to fall back on. I like the settlement mechanics, it adds a fun base building element. His GMless sections keep getting better, this one has a nice bit on plots with hook generation and tension elements and stuff. Always like the balance of art to dense words he has in his rulebooks too, and the artist he got for this book is really really good.

We're going to have to come up with a phrase for the new era of Warhammer 40,000 ushered in by the Amazon TV show, DoW 4 and Total War 40k, and increased market value of Games Workshop.nu40k isn't going to cover it. nu40k is already bad enough for many of us from headier days like 1st through 4th edition. You are going to see horrific debasements to the thing you know and love that you will still see with your eyes closed. Every 80 IQ person with internet access will have an opinion on Warhammer without knowing what a Tau Remora Drone is.
>>97359799Cain will just be Sharpe in space, so meh..Make it a Dark Heresy show, 4 acolytes form 4 different worlds, easy to get newcommers to understand the lore, wide range of story and you can always put in some Deathwatch in the lot.Of course, DH was in 815.m41, everyone's now dead since we're 1000 years in the future for some reason, where every Cadians is now a Black woman.And yes sex, sex and swearing is what writers understand now, can't have a show with either for some reason. sometimes I wonder if I'm too smart for entertaiment, or it is simply too dumb for me.
>>97344553Traditional games?
They will change like one or two really minor bits of lore or namedrop other member berries in a cackhanded way and toxically positive and chud fandom will kill each other by forcing them to power walk and the earth will heal.>>97360091Sharpe is actually the only necessary tv show. I've seen Sharpe, don't need to watch the others.
>>97360091I'm not against a Dark Heresy show, but if you're going to have the first 40k show it needs to be IG. It's down to earth, you can have an enemy of the season or episode, and the Guardsmen barely know anything. It's the perfect introduction.You try Space Marines or the Inquisition, and the audience immediately has to swallow Imperial religion and "kill the mutant and witch" and normalfags will run.
>>97360200Yeah it's pretty good.>>97360278The problem with an IG show is the inevitable turn into non military slob to attract the female market, not to mention the mandatory Commissar killing guardsmen.Althought if they take it seriously, which they won't, and make it like Combat! or Tour of Duty, it might be worth watching. Plus there's pretty much Cadians and Cathachan left as 'official' Regiments, Death Korps are just clones made to fight and die and who will make a show about soldiers who ever show their faces all the time for real?
