>gameplayFor Centaurs, you should be able to use them as mounts when not in combat if they're lightly armed & armored. I think you could ride into battle with them and fight on their back without overburdening them, depending on your loadout. Squeezing into dungeons and caves might be a bit of a bitch, and your centaur companion may find themselves too cumbersome to accompany you in certain locations. If people in wheelchairs can make do, I'm sure a transmog potion or a shrinking potion might solve the problem.>fantasy settingsThey're more at home here for sure, like having a horse. Some taverns may give you a hard "no" for your centaur companion, but I'm sure regions that are steeped in centaur culture or adjacent ones have accommodations for their unique anatomy. If nothing else, they could help carry your camp supplies and other provisions. >loadouts for fantasyIf you're not riding them, I think they can be pretty well armed and armored- think tower shield and a mace/flail. They also make good spearmen, so I think they'd be comfortable wielding a halbard and similar pike-style weapons. This would be with them wearing plate mail cuirass for the human portion and chainmail curtain over their horse hind quarters, or perhaps some specially fitted Gambeson. Other plate sections could be fitted to their horse body as needed. Archery and crossbows seem like they'd work for ranged options. I've not considered them using magic, but having a fairly mobile spellcaster seems cool as well.
If a humcan PC is riding a centaur PC and they dismount, do you charge the human half of their movement speed for the dismount? I was thinking about offering up some feat that allowed the rider to retain their movement after dismounting for some interesting movement mechanics. 40 feet + an additional 30 from the human rider. Some folks were saying the idea of having a human and a centaur fighting while the human was on their back might be a little broken (two-player instances occupying the same space, I can see being a problem). Maybe make it so only the human or the centaur can attack per turn if the human is riding them? This would mean the player has to dismount the centaur to get their own battle action per turn.

>>97345925If I had a magic wand and could fix Magic, I would make a new game client similar to Magic Arena, but instead of a million ways to play and a choice of BO1 or BO3, make one standardized format "Alchemy but good". Have a focus on good 1v1 gameplay.
I think this went unnoticed: there is a real chance of Penny Dreadful becoming a fully supported format on MTGO with Leagues and Challenges just like Premodern, this would have a gigantic impact on the in-game secondary market since people would be able to get Tier 1 decks for less than 10 tix to farm Leagues and compete in Challenges and in turn, PD rotations (when the price check happens) would get a lot more severe

>>97345119The suggestion is that you can't work with the failure of your player as a GM. But I think there are plenty of ways to deal with it. I'll keep to dnd vocabulary:Study and practice costs money for reagents and inks and shit. You also need downtime because you use spell slots on the appropriate level when practicing. Some spells require rare reagents / materials to learn that will take some adventuring to obtain.You need to find information on the spell, or have instruction from one who mastered it to attempt it. Experimentation without information or instruction will be more costly in time and reagents, and have a higher chance of failure. You can't attempt to learn a spell without information or instruction unless you have seen it being cast, or you can realistically argue that two or more spells you already know should give you enough insight to start the process. In general, given the risks involved, populated areas don't take kindly to magical teachings and experimentation within their communities. Depending on local laws and customs you might face fines, exile, mob justice, the stink eye, theft/espionage from competitors, general displeasure, whatever. This is part of why wizard towers are a thing.Failure to learn the spell can result in backfired spells. You might:>take some damage>turn yourself into a newt for 1d4 days>block your chakras causing you to lose access to 2 spell slots of the level of the spell> literally blow your hand off>cause you to become "wild magicked" for 1d4 weeks>a thundercloud follows you constantly inside and outside causing you to be soaked and take 1d4 lightning damage every 2 hours until dispelled>you create a rift and 1d6 void imps enter and attack youComment too long.

There are a lot of examples of knights being implemented into a sci-fi future setting (Warhammer 40k, Battletech, Dune), but are there any examples of medieval societies with modern-esque professional soldiers?
>>97344981>the thread begging for shit he can just look up is going to be derailed!Oh no
>>97339216Dragonlance draconians certainly act that way.Charr from guild wars 2 are pretty much a modern military running a dieselpunk empire in a medieval fantasy setting.Elder scrolls in some interpretations.
>>97339216You could argue there are several IRL examples of feudal or feudal-like countries with a somewhat modern army, ie. Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or (arguably) North Korea.Historically you could read about pre-unification Germany or the Austro-Hungarian empire and just give them better rifles.
>>97339216That seems to be the case in fantasy way more often than not.
>>97343780Not always. The Land Ironclads and the Difference Engine were both alternate history in the fact there was nothing fantastical about them beyond people pursuing certain vectors of technology that already existed at that point.

What’s the edgiest tabletop game of all time
>>97345258Always wanted to play Cthulhutech.Looks autistic, but also kinda fun weird scifi.
>>97347425probably a fair bit tbqh, there's a lot of reading and you might need to know your history a bit. that's standard for a lot of LotFP books (and personally not my cup of tea).The God That Crawls is 46 pages, quick read-through and then you have a church setting with characters, a monster, and a spooky dungeon. you could realistically just drop it in anywhere (could be Elizabethan England, could swap some names and then it's the Church of Corellon Larethian or whatever).i'm a dungeon guy so the adventures that have a hexmap of 17th-century Germany or whatever simply do not appeal to me. but when LotFP stuff hits, it hits. Death Frost Doom is another quick dungeon (64 pages, including maps/miscellanea) and it's the most fun i've ever had with D&D. sort of an Evil Dead pastiche, with SOME of the edginess, but it's also a damn good dungeon.
A world and a game built around the concept of demons, corporations and aliens wanting to subject badass hot women to predicaments including but not limited to rape and violence, all illustrated by early 2000s 3D poser fetish art tier illustrations. Somehow it still is not a porn game. The dude who made this is happily married and thanks his wife for support in the book's credits, so maybe all you degenerates also have chance.

>>97346982I like Werewolf: the Apocalypse.
>>97346900An aversion to the traditional late-20th-century work-life balance, disillusionment with traditional late-20th-century media (television) in favour of new digital media (streams and podcasts) and radical honesty about their beliefs and interests.Being bold and outspoken, searching for digital media that compounds their views and cringing at the thought of letting wageslavery define them are traits shared by all of the countercultural groups you listed and more. Which is reasonable, as at least two out of three of those traits are shared with the countercultures of prior generations.
>>97346982>>97347000I also like Werewolf the Apocalypse.
>>97346982I like Werewolf: the Apocalypse more than any other World of Darkness game.
Modern WoD would either be Werewolf-esque eco-terrorism or a permutation of Mage. The Technocracy still works as the group to rail against, they're just no longer a proper union with the conventions clashing in some areas while coming together on certain issues.The NWO, Syndicate, Iterators, Progenitors, and Engineers, as well as whatever you would want to add on that isn't covered by those conventions, are constantly butting heads, but they're still the heads of the same Terranorming, absolutist hydra.IMO, modern counter-culture is pulling an Uncle Ted and escaping the soul-shredding agony matrix of modernity. Perhaps this could be expressed through having players journey towards 'Escape' or 'Exodus' similar to attaining humanity in Promethean.
