The Stormlight books were released a couple weeks ago, what does /tg/ think of the game so far?
>>96497797pronouns are the faggiest way of doing it, but the upfront gender is genuinely helpful because there's a lot of stuff in the cosmere where the distinction matters but isn't immediately clear visually or descriptively
>>96495203I want to run a game on Komashi.Have another shard show up and steal the color yellow from their planet's investiture.
>>96500578I too agree with the tg-approved opinion. Our compliance will be rewarded.

I'm fucking hyped for Lands Of Evershade.
realistically, how far are we from being able to play any board game with AI companions who all have zany personalities?
>>96509622Schizophrenia is already a thing.
>>96509622You can ask your preferred model about board games. They're often woefully undertrained on this hobby and give wrong information constantly. If you want to do the job of training them yourself, good luck. If you think there's a commercial interest in training the bots to play board games, I doubt it.

>>96506383Yeah, he's run some one shots on Rppr in relation to them. The Nodens cult is made up of wounded soldiers, they get invisible replacement limbs as long as they hunt down mythos shit for big N.The Greenland campaign is basically "what if Hyperboria is frozen under the ice in Greenland, and the receding glaciers are revealing a bunch of crazy shit." He ran a one shot for rppr set on an oil rig that was pretty fun.

>>96509504That's neat, I didn't know about this resource, so thanks for sharing, but I was hoping for something more along the lines of enemy AI and such.
>>96509557That's exactly what it is.
>>96509557Read motherfucker read!
>>96509569For a rogue Ambot, yes, but it's not actual enemy ai.I'm looking for something akin to Fallout Wasteland Warfare or The Elder Scrolls Call to Arms. Where the various units have bespoke behavior and their own actions and reactions.It's fine if the game doesn't have that, I can homebrew it if that's the case, but there's no point in saying that the resource provided offers enemy AI when it caters to just a rogue ambot.

Why do most sci-fi settings sideline space combat but instead mostly focus on ground warfare?
>>96502373Space is hard, counterintuitive and vast. It's boring for long stretches, then you suddenly die.
>>96503118>planet-killing self-guided torpedoes that are traveling at FTL speeds so they can't be detected before they impact the targetIf you've invented FLT you can also invent something to detect things traveling at FTL speeds in time to intercept them.
>>96503448Just make each combat round an hour, or six. In the shitbrew I'm working on, space combat works at different time scales depending on the physical scale. Orbital combat defaults to 90 minute Orbits (9 D&D turns, 16 Orbits/day). Deep space combat works on a 24 hour Day. This is derived from Gygax's Warriors of Mars.If anyone like >>96503031 is willing to work on a paper-based vector calculator for 3d space combat, I'd be interested in it.
Space combat is too cool for normies
>>96502373I think you could make a pretty good fighter pilot sci-fi game if you leaned into it. Most space ship combat is very naval and does not benefit from having a ton of interesting terrian. Boots on the ground with lots of terrain is an easy way to make an entertaining scenario.
I have been playing and running Draw Steel's playtest since August of last year, and have since moved on to the release version. I recently ran a brief level 5 game. This is my play report: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Be1a7GJ1gjK7SqYQWZmxA2Tx_nIF6vRcTNqOKuUUQ3g/editThe full version is above, but to summarize:• I had four players. One had already played the system a fair bit, and had experience with grid-based tactical games like D&D 4e and ICON. The other three were new, but also had experience with tactical games.• I set this in the timescape's space-fantasy upper worlds, in a UNISOL-aligned manifold. The story began with a counterattack on the fleet of Lord Syuul, and culminated in delving into the minds of two Space Gods to save a planetary system.• I kept basic numerical statistics transparent, but enemy traits and abilities opaque.• Negotiations were received poorly by the players. They felt too rote (uncover, appeal, uncover, appeal, repeat), and it quickly became evident that some PCs should just step back and let the characters with relevant perma-edges (e.g. High Elf Glamor) handle everything.• Montages had a somewhat better reception, but the players still were not too warm on them. They just do not like 4e-style skill challenges.• Combat was the most well-received facet of the system. The consensus seemed to be "decent, would definitely play again, but nothing special compared to other grid-based tactical games we have already played."Comment too long.

>>96507161Just to clarify, what additional penalties beyond difficult terrain did the director impose? Required swim checks to move at all? Straight into suffocation rules?Regardless, I think the director is wrong because he made the ruling on the fly (presumably to make the encounter more challenging - were you winning hard when this happened?), but the ruling is mostly in spirit with the "cinematic" nature of the game and the mechanics by which hazards work: entering the space triggers the free triggered action for the terrain to do its thing. There is no hazard that actually does this, but I can imagine homebrewing one that has a triggered reaction to vertical slide based on a power roll (I also assume your director didn't make any rolls, making him wronger). Probably should have treated it like quicksand, though.Barring terrain mechanics, I think anither creaturing using a vertical push or slide would be necessary to sink to the bottom in that manner. Trying to rationalize things based on kit and armour weight and "realism" would be silly.
>>96507564>Just to clarify, what additional penalties beyond difficult terrain did the director impose?The mud is simply water and difficult terrain, also conferring two-way concealment beyond the uppermost cube. Water and difficult terrain makes it hard to move through, though.>the mechanics by which hazards work: entering the space triggers the free triggered action for the terrain to do its thing.It was not a dynamic terrain object. This was what the Director simply thought happened when a creature is force moved into water.
>>96507663It sounds like the director doesn't really know what he's doing, and it would be beyond ridiculous to treat this type of sinking as the general rule. However, I still think that ruling this way I'm this specific instance is probably in the spirit of the rules, partly because this sounds to me like more than just regular old water, and there's a couple ways the mechanics would support this. It's perhaps worth thinking through, as I see this type of situation cropping up frequently.The real problem is simply the director doing this without any kind of roll.>>simply water and difficult terrainI guess I'm a bit confused by the repeated "water+DT." Water simply is difficult terrain (that can be avoided by a swim speed). For "significant movement penalty" beyond the rules for difficult terrain, the director can also call for a might test and impose additional consequences based on the result. No movement allowed is the example cited in the rules, but I think sinking based on the results of a might test could be perfectly reasonable in this instance. But the director didn't ask for the check, he just did the thing like an idiot.>>not a dynamic terrain objectEven if not designed as one, I think it would be reasonable to treat it as one on the fly. The problem is there isn't a roll, and this puts the roll for sinking in the director instead of the players.I can see a case for rolling either way, but the rules want the roll to happen no matter how you slice it.Comment too long.

>>96508157Water is not actually difficult terrain by default:https://steelcompendium.io/compendium/main/Rules/Chapters/Combat/#climb-or-swim>Climb or Swim>A creature who has "climb" in their speed entry, or who gains the temporary ability to automatically climb, can climb across vertical and horizontal surfaces at full speed. Likewise, a creature who has "swim" in their speed entry, or who gains the temporary ability to automatically swim, can swim in liquid at full speed.>Creatures without those types of movement can still climb or swim when a rule allows them to move, but each square of climbing or swimming costs 2 squares of movement. If a surface is difficult to climb (for instance, a sheer cliff or ice-covered wall) or a liquid is hard to swim through (a raging river or whirlpool), the Director can call for a Might test. On a failure, a creature can't climb or swim but wastes no movement in the attempt. The Director can also impose other consequences to failure, such as being caught in the spinning current of a whirlpool.https://steelcompendium.io/compendium/main/Rules/Chapters/Combat/#difficult-terrain>Difficult Terrain>Areas of thick underbrush, rubble, spiderwebs, or other obstacles to movement create difficult terrain. It costs 1 additional square of movement to enter a square of difficult terrain.Water that is also difficult terrain thus costs 3 squares of movement to enter.
>>96504681>No I always assume some sort of interesting battle map, but the "not him" anon's issues with the shadow didn't seem to have anything to do with good or bad terrain, they are just repetitive on their own.I haven't played the game extensively, when I played a character that didn't really move or push the others around, I found it really boring. So if that sniper build is like that, I can understand why someone would find it boring. As I said, if you are not pushing others around and moving around the map, like a tactical game, there is no point in playing Draw Steel over other systems.

>>96509077Yes he was a hypocrite. But it was still over nothing. I can enjoy the schadenfreude of him being torn apart by his own tribe, while also thinking what happened wasn't serious.
>>96509077Agree about him being a hypocrite. Role-playing is NOT having complete control over what happens to your character, especially when you choose to play a fuck bot. Safety tools are for toddler minds and control freaks. What he did was suicidal. Like Mercer and Mulligan, I have yet to see one of these "professional GMs" grasp the concept of TTRPG.

In a ttrpg i'm in, one of my fellow players is an big old blacksmith who's learning the power of freindship, and how to trust the sun god. In our next arc my DM and I are trying to set up a transformation for hi... any artists willing spit something out, link a good pre-existing bit would be appreciated. (in before he-man knod, the smith is an older guy who's gonna get his youth back from the sun god.)
