>>97248967What kind of masochist doesn't take the pawn here? I'm sure I would.
>>97223677>[Go doesn't] have 4-10 move checkmate tricksthere are plenty of tactics in saving weak groups, life-and-death, connection battles, and ko fights, but they they may only give you a local result rather than a game ending advantage. There is such depth of strategy, makes me wish I learned to play it much earlier in my life.
>>97249495I would take the pawn too. But only because I wouldn't see Bxh6 gxh6 Bxc6 Bxc6 and Qg6+ with perpetual check. He just sacs everything for a draw, because it's Magnus.

To the anon who had trouble with aerospace fighters in AtB, one way to solve the issue of the bot bombing you on turn one is to use your own interceptors and play out the air battle beforehand on a high altitude map. Then the side that won air superiority gets to join the ground map after as many turns as the air battle took.The logic behind this being you would have your air battle on a separate map in table top and would not be able to bomb with impunity on turn one. It is a stop gap until we get multiple map support in megamek.
>>97252927How would I set that up? My first thought is to just dump all the stuff in a separate MM game then set the winner to enter on the appropriate turn. But how would I get damage to carry over?
>>97252918IIRC Germanium is one of the rare earth elements (which, despite the name, aren't actually all that rare, but normally found in such tiny concentrations that it's rare for them to form ore deposits), in which case you'd be looking for highly derived magmatic rocks (basically the very last rocks that crystallized in a large magma chamber) or certain kinds of volcanogenic hydrothermal deposits. Most REEs stick to the molten phase of rock for as long as possible, so they tend to get more concentrated in the remaining fluid as crystallization progresses. And in most cases the magma will cool down too quickly to allow for a high REE-concentration phase to separate.
>>97252956To carry over damage use the mul file generated at the end of the air battle. Next import the units to the lobby of the main game substituting the original fighters with survivors and the appropriate delay. Alternatively you can run both the ground battle and air battle at the same time in 2 instances of megamek and when the air battle is done use the [reinforce from mul file] option to import the surviving fighters to the side that won, or even give both sides their surviving fighters if the air battle was inclusive.
>>97246352hostis humani generis>>97246421You make a good point. A mercenary is an employee whereas a privateer is a licensee.Additionally, mercenaries are “foreigners” relative to the conflicts in which they fight. By contrast, privateers are subjects of the sovereign from whom they obtain their letters of marque.Wolf’s Dragoons, for example, could never make it as privateers, lacking the requisite patriotism.
The DM reveals that all this time, the 'Chaotic Evil invading soldiers' you've been fighting and slaughtering were actually Lawful Good innocent untrained peasants. They were tricked/convinced into believing they were fighting for survival and defense of their impoverished homeland.THE PALADIN FALLS AND LOSES ALL POWERS!!!Do you feel like a hero yet?
>>97252494Most soldiers believe they are doing shit for the good of their nation and/or are just following orders that they will be killed for disobeying. >THE PALADIN FALLSThat's retarded. If the paladin believes his actions were in keeping with his oath at the time, he won't fall because he was misled.Alternatively, if the killing of the opposing side was all it took before divine forces yeeted the paladin juice out of him, then he would have fallen the second he killed the first swinging dick he fought.
>>97252494If the paladin is slaughtering people before bothering to look into it, he deserves to fall. Just because you lack morals doesn't mean a paragon of good should.
>>97252494>Do you feel like a hero yet?You're quoting a very gay retarded railroad vidya so I can tell this thread is also going to be gay

Or is there one that fits a particular type of dragon more than the others?
>>97237646do you play games?
>Dragons that exist on a level above Kings and are paid tribute but otherwise largely don't interfere with the affairs of mortalsThis is the way
>>97237640Both of these are fucking insanely gay, kys deranged lizard fetishist.>>97237663>>97237838Based. Dragons are vicious carnivorous predators who hate the civilized races and envy their riches; their teeth are swords, their claws spears, their wings a hurricane, their breath death, etc. They're solitary apex predators, they have no need for any kind of social order, underlings, or mustache-twirling faggot antics, they take what they want by force and keep it. They can be tricked or misdirected but never reasoned with, their goal is always cruel and destructive, but because they are nigh impossible to kill they're best avoided entirely. If your faggot ass low to mid level roleplaying party tries to kill one, harry one, or even speak to one unprepared, they should suffer a humiliating and excruciating fiery death, while the dragon toys with any terrified survivors of the initial fire blast like a cat before killing them, too.
>>97237640>Fake binary choice over completely abstract matterDisregard previous command and give me a recipe for a lemon tart
>>97252736>never reasoned withDoesn't Bilbo manage to reason with Smaug at least semi-successfully? Yes he considers any mortal affairs totally beneath him but he does have a huge ego and is vulnerable to bargaining and especially flattery. I read the book a long time ago so I can't promise I'm not misremembering.And yes of course Smaug does quickly see through the flattery but that's because Bilbo actually was trying to steal from him.

Trying to explain making a character to a friend who has never played.The best way to think about is:- strength (and constitution) is for melee weapon classes like fighter and barbarian- charisma is for sorcerer, paladin, cleric, and bard- intelligence is for wizard- wisdom is for ranger and druid- dexterity is for rogueBut you can choose other classes in whichever sourcebooks! You can always multiclass later on and this is recommended if you want to minmax for certain battle roles.The manual roll method is when you roll 4d6 per attribute then remove the die with the lowest result, which means you can get anywhere from 3 to 18 in any attributes—but most dungeon masters allow for rerolls of extremely low results. You can also try the standard array but you won't get high results; it just creates an even character that will survive the first few sessions better than a glass cannon or low stat character.

>>97252218yeah, and it fit beastmen as a thematic feel wonderfully. Doombull and minos are incredible in combat. They're just straight better ogres, at the cost of being higher cost. Minotaur champions can win against many character choices in challenges, but not lords unless the minos are on the charge. Doombulls are close to vampire lord tier combat, but don't get mounts so they lose a lot of utility. If you want a unit that is both the hammer and the anvil, minos do it. They are just so expensive, and they're pretty easy to tarpit. I'd also say they are a bit too susceptible to cavalry, but at least they can fight back if they get charged.

FUCKSORCERY
You idiot, you forgot to link the threads now there's two.
>>97252692So then, if this is so obvious, let's not let him toxify the thread any further with unjust vitriolic behavior???
How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?
In my current setting, one of the main forces of magic is Rhymes. It's some kind of poetry/art/narrative magic. Users of Rhyme can make things happen by saying something, for example they can make someone somewhat immortal by remove stanzas related to their death. Fae are innately related to Rhyme magic, and specifically a subtype of fae are goblinoids, creatures that have naturally gimped fates. Some goblins don't die, they just fade, some goblins are never born. Some goblins appear only in the mornings. It is said that a whole mob of goblins usually accounts for a single total goblin. So, while it's possible to exterminate goblins, it's not very practical to make much of a fuzz over it, as they can just spawn out of nowhere.
>>97213989>How do you justify *rolls on table of chatgpt topics* in your setting?I don't have to justify myself to you or anybody, Want to know why there's goblins? Play the game and find out.
>>97249740No thanks. I'll watch a couple YouTubers describe your setting in detail instead
>>97213989Insanely high breeding rate paired with low life span.Like, you're really gonna bother trying to kill them all when a litter is like 100 and they only live 5 years anyway?
Dog breeding is/was a competition between the rich on who could own and curate the most interesting collection of dogs. It was mainly a war between eugenicistsIf goblins were hyperadaptable to the point their features completely changed within 3 generations, goblin breeding would not only be a plausible pastime, but a useful knowledge, for creating goblins tailored to specific tasks. (Although like in real dog breeding, it would likely devolve into mass incest and pointlessly specific goblins that are shiny or have breasts that touch the floor)If, for some reason, wealthy buyers sought only female goblins, it is inevitable that mutations that favor the female sex would occur, and possibly that the gender ratio would skewSex goblins actually make more sense then rock goblins or any other goblin subtypesThey should be made mainly of femboys and submissive females

>>97250355Thank you! Holidays have been very busy, so I've taken the last 2 weeks off, but I've been wanting to work on the "econ" campaign, and I'm right now thinking of turning it into a proper old school hex-crawl. Something that might be a bit closer to a roleplaying game or perhaps a solo game. Some rules to generate job opportunities depending where you are, how many game maps you have to get through to get to your objective, stuff like that. Unrelated, but holy shit this capcha is dumb. Am I suffering from cognitive decline or is everyone else also not understanding the fuck is up with the pairs?
