The Paladin has been POISONED! He will instantly die with no antidote. A Thief holds out the antidote and pours it all on the floor. 'Drink if you wanna live.'The Paladin gets on his knees and licks the floor. He's feeling better already. But when he tries to kill the Thief, he finds out he has fallen. He just lost all powers!Why did this happen? Simple. Honor is the soul of all Paladins with no exception. Without honor, there can be no Lawful Goodness.There's nothing more dishonorable than getting on your knees and licking the floor like every dog.That's the parable of the Paladin and the Thief. Remember it well.In Japan, there was once a poisoned Samurai in a similar situation. A Ninja poured the antidote on the floor. Do you know what the Samurai did? He stripped out of all armor, took his Daikatana, and did Harakiri right there. His last words? 'I will never lick the floor like a dog.'He died with great Honor and became legendary for it. Now THAT'S a Paladin!>But it's not honorable to die!Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

The "legendary" samurai in question is, of course, from L5R:https://web.archive.org/web/20120306083203/http://www.l5r.com/story/scenes-from-the-empire-18/>“The tea… not poisoned. Antidote.”>“What?” Noritoshi demanded.>“Agents poisoned you… at the tea house last night,” Jimen said. “I thought that… if you sat with me… if we could realize how badly… we had failed… then perhaps we both deserved to live. But no… it is better this way…” Impossibly, Jimen laughed. “I suppose you could say… I win.”>And the Emerald Champion was gone.>Kakita Noritoshi looked at the dead form of his most hated enemy, then at the tea drying on the floor. In his heart he knew that the man had spoken the truth. There was tea still there, perhaps enough if he would lick it from the floor…>“No,” he said. Jimen was right. He had doomed too many with his foolish pride and hatred already. If death was to come, then he would accept it with some semblance of honor intact. He would not be found curled on the floor, licking up spilled tea like some lapdog.

>>97407909Counterpoint: a pulp-y self aware Author Bard who takes the concept of "players impacting the narrative of a D&D game" to a whole new level
is longbow battle master a thing
>>97408209Yes! In fact, depending on the version of 5e its quite good. In 2014 5e, Ranged Weapons in general are the best weapons in the game due to the power of the Archery Fighting Style, the Sharpshooter Feat, and Extra Attack. Great damage, high range, ignoring cover (Which 99.9% of creatures cannot do), the range allows you to usually maneuver around the battlefield to take advantage of cover and hazards to trick up your opponents. Battle Masters in particular are really good for this style of play due to them having combat maneuvers like Precision Attack (Which you can use after rolling to boost your to hit roll), Menacing Attack (Long Range Frighten for movement shut down and disadvantage on their attacks), Trip Attack (To trip foes), Pushing Attack (Push foes into hazards or away from allies or off cliffs), and other nice options to go with it!2024 5e is a little different due to Sharpshooter not giving the big damage bonus it had in 2014, but it's still solid due to Longbows having the Heavy Property allowing you to get the Great Weapon Master feat- it just requires a wider stat spread than it used to. Hypothetically, you could get Sharpshooter, Great Weapon Master, and still max out your Dexterity all by level 8 as a Fighter, which means you'll still be doing solid enough damage without the loss to accuracy that 2014 Longbow users were dealing with. Battle Masters are more or less the same, though at higher levels they get a great buff with Relentless and can be even more mobile than they were before.
Any ideas for how to incorporate Thieves Cant into games? I'm running Mines and I had the idea of the proprietor of The Sleeping Giant be a former member of the Neverwinter Thieves Guild who got her bag and retired. The signage would indicate to those in the know (such as members of the Redbrands or my Rogue) that the place is safe for unsavoury types. I'd also have symbols akin to Depression-era hobo slang near Tressendar Manor that indicate that business is to be conducted in the cellar and that the upstairs is unsafe to navigate.

>>97408640>first stage of eugenics should be weeding out all eugenicistsWhile I appreciate the sentiment, there are practical applications of eugenics, such as Iceland's app to avoid cousin fucking or cascade testing and genetic counseling (both things recommended by the CDC and not just under this administration) to avoid children being born with heritable diseases.That said, that sort of shit is generally not what anyone calling themselves a "eugenicist" means.

>>97403456>We play games to escape the reality of the modern worldI play games because they are fun to play. If you need to "escape reality", you should be putting some effort into making your reality better for yourself rather than running away from it. Go ahead and shoot people if you like, but you won't because you are a pussy and, in fact, knows that you can't do much by yourself to change your reality.

>>97405805The DUNC expansions aren't that complicated. Just small sub-systems and power-ups.
>>97407494>>97407704I also played recently with 2 other people and I didn't feel it was THAT swingy. You have to remember that the deck all players use are the same, so if you get an early lead, more likely than not, you had to use your stronger cards early and now has to contend with the other players that didn't do it. If anything, the biggest complaint the players had was that the combat was too random. The game kind of sells itself as having bluffing aspects, but it feels way too random with effects that add whole new cards to the combat way too easily.It's also one of those games that if you know how to play even slightly better than the other players, you'll demolish them early on and completely discourage them from even trying to fight back, despite the game having a mostly decent power balance despite the assymetrical factions.

I don't wish to start bullshit, but this is the place to ask:Is it easier to make a Captain America expy (hand to hand, uses shield offensively and defensively) of at level effectiveness (ie not hyper optimized ubercharger but serviceable in a group) in 3.5, or easier in PF1e?I am not against initiator classes, but I would rather not run to them at first, viewing them as a crutch at times.
>>97408218I made a character in that vein in 3.5 a decade ago. Paladin/Fighter, worked decently well. Improved shield bash, shield charge, shield slam, dire charge.

The thrown shield has a range increment of 30 feet. While in the air, the shield is treated in all ways as a ranged weapon, and it cannot be blocked or grabbed except by those with appropriate feats. Regardless of your size, a ranged buckler or ranged light shield deals 1d6 points of slashing damage, and a ranged heavy shield deals 1d8 points.

I'm glad each of the gargants I got (if not due to assembly foibles thanks to resin materials on 1.5 of them) is relatively different facing bare minimum.

For the Eloi what unit role are they intended to have? I gave them a crack a while ago but it wasn't what people were looking for. Maybe another approach could work for them.
Finally found a good illustration of what I think the Weather Control should look like. Perhaps a little too extravagant, especially given that Neuchwanstein may or may not exist, but this general size suits the home, fortress, and laboratory of Duke Cunningham. Alternatively, it could just look like that fortress from Laputa.

>>97407433>So Europe collapsed but not as badly as the USA so there are some remnants?Yes. IIRC the EU crashed during a severe economic crisis after the first wormhole expedition failed, while the US desperately tried to save itself from said crisis (and possibly a civil war or Chinese invasion? Not sure here) and deployed a nanotech WMD, which proceeded to turn half its territory into an uninhabitable wasteland.
I've read that the NA2 armies were designed in part as "bridges" between different armies, ways to play with models of multiple factions as you're buying in over time before you have two full armies. Do they really succeed at this objective? On a model level, in some it seems like you'd want to get their special character models more, on a painting level you'd need to have compatible schemes and basing between the armies so they don't clash visually. Are they halfway points in any meaningful sense on a gameplay level, or are they more their own little things?
>>97407433Europe didn't as much as collapse as did become less relevant. Yu Jing started to gobble up most of Asia, PanO was Oceania+Philippines+Latam, even Africa started to flex its muscle in places like Nigeria.

>>97406159It can be really, really fucking hard to revive lostech. Depending on the tech involved, it could be any number of reasons. The resources necessary to produce exact replicas might be extremely rare/exhausted. Perhaps the expertise necessary to manufacture the tech was never preserved/passed on. The blueprints/chemical formulae may be lost or forever incomplete. The supply chain may be forever irreparable because a factory that produced critical components for the tech (or critical components for another factory) got nuked. Building it right/wrong might result in daemons, leaving it to be permanently shelved. Or a particularly selfish techpriest might be sitting on everything necessary to reproduce the lostech because fuck everyone else, he found it and only he gets to use it.
