So these guys (stealth suits, if you can't see them)Pretty interesting against a marine team. When the enemy can move + dash + shove a heavy plasma incinerator in your face, stealth becomes a lot less safe. Ended up not controlling much on the objectives, which combined with an equal score on tac op, kill op, and primary meant a final score of 10-15.Definitely not a conclusive game in regards to how balanced they are, I made plenty of mistakes, but the stealth was a lot less oppressive than me or my opponent expected.What I want to see now is how they perform against a 2APL team. Losing that extra dash to reach enemies, and not having the same super reliable kill shots that a team like deathwatch has, might make these sneakers a much less fun team to face. I need to see it to confirm it though.

>>97215880You can pull a Sailor Moon easily with the whole divine purpose + handler thing. They exist to be driven towards a story goal (almost always killing the evil). That needs to be the DM's focus, but I guess you could play with the idea of an individual engineered to be the doomslayer having to exist in society.
>>97215979Indirectly calling your players out for playing as bad people causes hurt feelings at the table - that's a cardinal sin that kills games.
>>97215935>That and the fact that Tieflings can be more interesting visually (also hotter) and being an underdog makes for a more interesting character.The visuals are a potential factor, but are ultimately secondary in a tabletop game. But the underdog angle is what really pushes it further than other weird-looking races.>>97215938The point of consideration is how it translates into a player character. People don't really want to play a character who is going to martyr themselves for the first righteous cause they find, because then the character is dead and you're no longer playing.As for a PC not being loved by all...that's really the default for most races, isn't it? But the best case scenario there is that you have NPCs treating the character as if they're stuck-up or privileged. Not exactly a lot to work with.
>>97215999It can go either way, either your Party doesn't like being called out for killing some goon who surrendered after you fireballed his entire team and he wasn't a threat anymore or the Party is totally down to "rise the ranks" and start killing Celestials and looting their corpses
>>97215814I had my players recently be surprised by a Bullete - Land Shark. Which worked well for me, because they'd dismounted from their griffons and all walked up to it's offal pit of a nest. I gave it an attack before initiative, which let it leap and send enough of the party prone to make it's mid initiative roll effective.Took them 4 rounds to figure out how high it could jump and get off the ground. By then they had it bloody and a second showed up.With everyone off the ground though it was only 2 more turns till both Bullete were dead.I think if they didn't get the surprise round it wouldn't have been a difficult encounter.
What is it about? Why is it interesting? Should I care about it?
>>97179274Nigga, anything cool from Forgotten Realms is Greyhawk in originVecna, the demihuman gods, The Underdark, paladins, beholders, mindflayers, owlbears.All appeared in Gary Gygax's world before they were appropriated for FR.
>>97204266>Jesus, they really gayified Greyhawk here.Would you say it's Gaywoke now?
>>97204266Oh a few of these adventures will be at the greater Philadelphia expo, I was actually there last year for a Trump town hall.Maybe I'll go, in spite of Gayified Greyhawk.
Anyone interested in Greyhawk should check out Joe Bloch/GreyhawkGrognard's vidsHe knows Greyhawk like the back of his hand. He's written a lot of material on DMsGuild for Greyhawk as well.
>>97213386Thanks for the recommend, Anon.
Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you? Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?>inb4 I don't because I'm not a faggut, hurr durr
>>97215004Met many, mostly obvious fetish plays. Go post any ad as a GM and see what kind of characters/applicants you get. It's disturbingly common.I also played with one for a while, and was friends with him for years outside of the game too. He played his ideal waifu, fit into the fantasy setting we were playing. It was acceptable solely because he had no off-putting fetish things (basically he was just vanilla). It was still undeniably his waifu and he got constantly teased about it without ever denying it. I have yet to meet or see a single female character (actually played not just theoretical) that didn't fall into this category. If I did, I'd be open to changing my mind. But the pattern has been unerring thus far in my some ~12 years of playing TTRPGs.
>>97214962What do you mean a fetish waifu? I get wanting to make a pretty female character, does it go beyond that?
>>97215717I've specifically seen lolibaba and furry stuff that was unmistakably fetish related. I didn't play with those people though; the ones I have played with (like mentioned) were just playing their idealized version of a woman but with super powers/magic/whatever matches the setting.
>>97139776I look for character art references to give me ideas for concepts. People make interesting-looking pictures of women often because they look good. So I play female characters to use those visuals.
>>97214962Not every time. My first campaign, the DM and I accidentally made each other's fetish waifus and just couldn't understand why the other found it hot.
Hey /tg/ I'm playtesting an initiative system that's been tried before in other systems and is detailed nicely on "Tabletop Curiosity Cabinet"The system uses Meyer (and Kieth Farrell's modern adaptation) of "Vor, Nach, Gleich, Indes" as steps in a fight.Basically, the player with the initiative chooses an action ("Vor"). The enemy chooses a reponse ("Nach"). The dice are rolled to determine an outcome ("Gleich") and the movement into the next state ("Indes").Practically it looks like: Player A chooses a bind. Player B chooses to parry. Both players resolve a dice roll. The resolution will determine who has initiative for the next system.Very fencing-like, and makes initiative more of a "push-pull" based on success rather than a "you-go, I-go" traditional style.I believe systems like TRoS and their derivatives (like Song of Swords) use a similar sort of initiative style.My questions for the thread:1. While this system works pretty well for individual combats, it struggles when there are multiple combatants. It also falls into the same trap of "you go, I go" which is; in a real fight, you're probably waiting for an opening (e.g. an enemy attacking an ally) to take advantage of in order to strike. I wonder if anyone has creative solutions to this problem?2. Are there initiative systems that you find work well? Anyone forego initiative entirely in favor of fully narrative initiative (e.g. Daggerheart)?
>>97209105Victory in RPGs is usually happenstance. Dice. >>97210317The design is balanced. The people are biased. Those things are not correlated.
>>97210178>>97210170>nawwative inithiative ith twash
>>97197145I too, fence longsword, more from the Lichtenauer school though (meyer is fun as hell though i just love to stab)As a 1 v 1 duel you could get an interesting system working. The "you go, i go" style works fine if there's a way to steal an extra go in there or take the Vor. I had an idea for a card game where the 2 players are constantly discarding some cards at the end of their turn, keeping a few in hand they like and then drawing fresh ones at the start of the turn to say 7 or something like that.There's cards for advancing, for retreating for dodging, There's cards specifically for counters to certain thrusts or cuts. There's stance cards that'll give you a bonus if your opponent has an opening that's weakEventually someone plays a card with a VOR on it to start the rally,Like an Over cut from left shoulder, They other player then needs to play a card that will deflect that or dodge or counter it, whatever. They could just play a parry card, and follow it up with a Riposte, or if they didn't have a riposte they just have a parry.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97207595>>97210956>>97202682IMO, balance is an overrated and shitty game design conceit to begin with and irrelevant to having fun.What actually CAN be important is for players to believe the game is fair, in which case the only barrier for narrative systems is the GMs skill to cater towards the sensibilities of fairness that the group holds. In short, if you can't run narrative systems well, you have a skill issue.
>>97211497Thanks for entertaining the idea!! Really interesting stuff here.>The "you go, i go" style works fine if there's a way to steal an extra go in there or take the Vor.Absolutely. As I have it, the way to take the initiative is to, essentially, win the opposed roll. This might represent finding a strong position bind, a parry to set up the next strike, etc.The card idea is really intriguing. The biggest issue I have is running into a Song of Swords-esqe "really long list of moves" with various maneuvers that counter others. This rewards "player" (as opposed to character) system mastery. That being said, I was hoping to parse things down a bit to one, two or maybe a few different choices for each combatant.Could you tell me what you mean by a Silvers system?
Finishing a tabletop role-playing campaign and giving it an ending is a good feeling.

>>97215955But I did earlier this year?Marge moment.
>>97215817Storytime for us, OP
What makes a setting don't feel generic a.k.a. not DnD?
>>97191156Imho it's really easy. If the designers don't want to cater to as many people as possible, then it won't be generic. They have to have an artist's mindset, that is to have a vision, and never compromise.I know, I know. Too difficult these days, because first of all you gotta sell your shit and whatever. But it's really this fucking easy (design-wise).
>>97213526Batshit was meant to mean really bizarre but also damn fun.

>>97215792anonwhat is a maiden, lady, ect? nothin of the sort is on this list, we should respectfully try the origional setting before addingto itperhaps since you invisioned this creature as comaratively helpless to the orc the scene would work well enough with a goblin or a slime
>>97215741I'd say being short isn't that important to agility; cats are also short and hella agile. It's just the ability to jump around, dodge, pounce or otherwise be mobile within your immediate space. Maybe it should have been written as speed, but I don't think anon put any more thought into it than just a shitpost.
>>97203844>>97203860This is cool. If I were to suggest something, maybe change the Pretty Pleas ability to be less random. Having the session end of a dice roll seems at odds with the rest of the design. Maybe instead you could have it so that spending 0 effort vs a 10 effect ends the session. Just a thought.
