Traditional games?

>>97360182
Yes? What about them?

>>97356728
I 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.

A question about readying actions. Can you add an
>or
To 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?

>>97360228
That'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 1
Well, that's flatly against the rules, which state that it must be a "perceivable circumstance". Player characters can't perceive the initiative count.

How does goblins and/or orcs being green even work on a biological level, assuming that they’re mammals? And why would they need to be green?

>>97351927
In the D&D era, it wasn't settled that goblins were green as a default. People who made art or described goblins just picked whatever colour and appearance they thought was most fitting. There wasn't an equal amount of representation for each "type" of goblin, because it was done independently by many different people who didn't confer beforehand. By blind evolutionary luck, some settings, or even individual images, with green, big-nosed goblins became more popular than settings without them. This meant that the next generation of settings took a greater amount of influence from that kind of goblins, causing a goblin snowball effect. At a certain point, that style of goblin became the majority, then the default.

>>97351927
How did this topic impact your last dnd session? How exactly did goblin skin color come up? Be detailed and specific.

Recommendation #4: Innovative tactics

"Given the limitations of traditional tools, more out-of-the-box tactics should be considered. One such tactic would aim at gradually making these boards less interesting for their users.

One way to achieve this would be to regularly post content that looks genuine (using the right language, imagery, etc.) yet is meaningless – this would dilute the message of these boards and make their threads uninteresting, thereby reducing their attractiveness and sense of community.

Recent developments in artificial intelligence enabling researchers to automatically generate credible extremist sentences make such a tactic cheap and easy to implement."

Cain 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.

Traditional 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.

>>97360091
Sharpe is actually the only necessary tv show. I've seen Sharpe, don't need to watch the others.

>>97360091
I'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.

OP here so NTA, but the solution might very well be planning encounters prior to travel. I've built that consideration into my system. Specifically, one of my "rules" is that players decide on their destination, route, and planning the journey the session prior to the actual travel session. It's a good way to get excited for the next session, allows for the group to source rumors/quests/information on landmarks, and possibly clarify errors in information they previously received (e.g. "the River you're trying to reach is four days away, not two")

>>97359930
ToR journey rules definitely inspires me. I would love to see your system! For enemy groups I think by allowing the GM to consider the planned route and tailor possible encounters to the context. I have a soft spot for a little bit of randomness, so maybe the GM can come up with a few different encounters and I could provide some robust encounter tables that are location agnostic to provide inspiration. I do like giving GM's some idea of what fauna live where, to help with planning.

>>97359721
Were you going to finish your sentence?

>>97359796
Stop thinking in terms of discrete encounters.

In real life, you don't get harassed by a homeless guy at a gas station because the DM decided that should happen. It happened because there simply really was a homeless guy there, and he chose to do that of his own free will. The game works the same way.

In a world with a firmament, how far could you see? Could you see everything if you were on a mountain or would air density and pressure and such set a max view distance?

>>97356697
I usually start with a story then add and subtract based on what leads to a better story. Usually this cascades into the smaller details.

>>97336483
I'll be honest, that sounds quite interesting to me, so I'm not sure I'm a great judge for why you're getting a tepid response. I have some ideas though.

If you're trying to convert an existing setting that people are connected with, they may be against the perceived "loss" of the old setting. I've also noticed a stigma around the concept of steampunk settings, but usually just for being "cringey" rather than anything specific. Some people also prefer settings that are more personal, and consider settings with more ship-on-ship combat to be less engaging.

That could also be why the people you talk to prefer grounded low-magic settings. Low-magic usually is also easier for people to relate to, if they just want a setting with very minor changes to their "normal". I think that's a similar reason why cyberpunk settings are also usually "safe".

How do you pitch the idea to others, is it as straightforward as this post? Sometimes it can just be a matter of a bad pitch that gives the wrong impression.

>>97358029
It might depend on what other physics you want to shift to get the world to be "stable". Assuming you don't do that sort of simulation: air density, pressure, general weather, and other obstructions would limit the view.

Where I live you need a particularly clear and calm day to even see 7 miles away from a mountain top. It's probably unlikely that a flat firmament world would have a day completely clear and calm across the entire surface, especially when you include the different types of weather phenomena. Though it could allow for an interesting event akin to the borealis or an eclipse, where you could see across the entire distance.

You summon dudes, cast spells and it's all categorized into colored book magic. Except instead of trying to reduce your opponents lifetotal from 20 to 0 you sack all their cities and banish them to the shadow realm.

How do you make sex/lewd acts engaging outside of mechanics?

With combat I know how to give it conflict, but most horny scenes in my games tend to not be interesting enough to play through and are better off summarized and fast forwarded. I often find myself playing like it was regular play, because the lewd elements really take a step back.
