>>97273570no, but you do lose access to your second (and third) extra attacks which are infinite and dont consume spell slots, which are for buffies and for healies. as for the homebrew, i dont think it is either, but that requires getting my DM on board with it. (good luck, me)
>>97273049everyone only gets 1 minute per turn on initiative, DM included.
has bahamut ever been given an official stat block? i was poking around online for a while but couldnt find much
>>97269584>>97269587>>97269599>>97269612>ethical and inclusion standardsI hate the publicly traded "institutional investors" who control everyone's 401ks.also isn't the seethe about slavery? I don't understand>no we can't depict slaveryno one alive today in the US was ever a slave and it was a historical reality and it was a historical reality (that exists even now) that basically every culture ever practiced slavery until the industrial revolution made them slavery less lucrative and the bongs did that massive banking scam over ending slavery where all the slavers got paid way more than their slaves were worth
>>97273600>you do lose access to your second (and third) extra attacks Paladin gets 1d8 extra radiant damage per extra attack at level 11, similarly infinite. But if you're at that level, then you're also benefitting a lot from Aura of ProtectionFighter might pull ahead more at level 20, but how many sessions are you expecting to spend at level 20?

>>97273970They hope to transcend vampirism itself to become something MORE. The problem with this is, even the Eldest recognizes that the Hunger is the thing nailing them down.It's mentioned in Lore of the Clans that even the Eldest realized that the inescapable part, the most fundamental part of being a vampire is the blood hunger, and humans are the most nourishing. They try to change and evolve into something that can overcome the state of vampirism- essentially, overcome the weaknesses by becoming something else.All Tzimisce that take this seriously have different ideas on how to transcend into their Azhi Dahaka road. For the Eldest, it was becoming a big fleshy monster for a while. Then a meat tree. Then a bit of mpreg involving Socha Vykoss (don't ask.) Then a baby. Then I don't know what. I think the Eldest is supposed to be walking around now but no idea what they're doing.The Ex-Sanguinist branch of the Tzimisce probably have the best handle on it, as they try and be ascetics and go as long as possible between feedings as they can in the hopes they can stave off the blood thirst and wean their beasts off of it entirely. But so far, no luck.
>>97273998Those are lost kinfolk typically, there's a name for them I'm just forgetting it right now. Woofs look down even more on them than regular Kinfolk but they also know better typically than to just waltz up and demand like they do from those in the know. Unless you get a particularly insistent one, usually the Kinfolk merit ties you into Garou shit whether you like it or not.
>>97272452Classic WoD, I'd say in lore terms Pennywise is closest to a Neverborn, but in actual abilities is more like one of the Earthbound or maybe a bane Incarna.
>>97272528Nah, she is clearly a high end fae. memes aside, just make a conditional spell that increases your aprearence with Prime + Mind or Life.>>97272582Stat bill as
>>97272452Goblin or Changeling with a few Dread Powers to fill any major gaps.
In your game, do you treat bows as strength- or dexterity-based weapons?
>>97272302It's an explanation. Just seems pretty redundant when you could just have a battery in the thing and not have to worry about any of that, but maybe it's a last resort kind of weapon.
>>97225182It's Puckee. Fuck him and fuck you.
>>97248573If you want Puckee's inane threads to choke out discussion, sure.
>>97255757How do people still use luddite as an insult in current year +9, they've been right like every time lately, tech just keeps making the world gayer and lamer.
>>97273088The Unabomber was right lol
Christmas edition▶What is Kingdom Death?Kingdom Death is a tabletop miniature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.Prologue Narration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLc8dHv0AcThe Game is broken up into 3 phases:1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97272992How do you know you're ready? I usually replace hunting level 1s with twos once I have dash and surge, and have at least one survivor with 5 armor all around and a shield, but I don't know the right metric for the level 3s other than "ran out of stuff to make"
>>97269759You mean the very successful thing that both hobbiest (loads-a money) and boardgame enthusiasts (also fucking loads-a money)? I always wondered what the thought process was behind the philosophy of >boy I i fucking love this product!>I sincerely hope they stop focusing on it and make somthing close to it but different in every way as wellJust give me more of whats good and not what we hope is good. You could do so much with the fights and events in monster that I can see the vision in releasing a decade of projects.
>>97272155The unofficial discord has a good channel I usually get all of my expansion content from for decent prices. Pretty much only missing 2 expansions now while getting all the others at least 40% off. Some were still in plastic. One I wasn't looking forward to painting actually had a decent paint job on the monster and survivors for $40 total including all content and shipping. Problem is its pretty typical discord shit on everything else.
Are there any good kingdom death instagrams to follow?
>>97274192You realize I said Monster specifically and not Kingdom Death, right? I'm not asking for it to come to an end, I'm asking if the lord creator will ever fulfill any of his other stated ambitions related to the KD project and step outside of the confines of what Monster is. You don't need the attitude, bro, I'm merely discussing what's already been spoken about from Poots himself.
>gm said no theatrics or monologues >two guys leaveIs not being too loud that difficult for some of you?
>>97273538so larping is the only type of roleplay for you?
Then everyone stood up and clapped.
>>97273670You call that larp, most just call it playing the game
>>97273433So, instead of sticking and pointlessly raising a stink about this one thing, they just left to find a game that was better fit for them?And you're unhappy about that?
>>97273433>the GM sets a boundary>Two of the players realize this boundary will effect their fun, instead of constantly pushing the boundary or being passive aggressive cunts, they respectfully bow out>op is butthurt for some reason because OP is a faggot [\spoiler]
>gain traction from GW losing community goodwill>immediately start killing your own community goodwill before you even have a product fully outWhat is this business strategy called?
>>97272832Anon not everybody has 4 local dudes with 6 armies between themDo you get that?
>>97266387This was pretty interesting yeah. I suppose the main reason I think is they capitalized on GW's incompetence only to learn nothing and doubled down on GW's incompetence despite still being very much indie.
>>97267421To be fair cloning Christ and then harvesting his blood and maybe organs is kind of fucked up, though the lore implies it was under the sponsorship of God himself and otherwise Humanity would have died a long time ago. The setting itself is fucked up, but the guys with crosses objectively are trying to just survive and aren't cruel for the sake of being cruel.
>>97273047We should cut off all of tranny janny's limbs and make him watch his mother being raped to death. I bet he'll cum from that, the sick fuck.
>>97266425go back the reddit you fucking faggotIdk if this is bait your sitll gay
Is this really what 40k fags consider fun?
>>97268994Traditional games?
>>97268994Yes. Parody and satire is fun for many people (people that arn't you have their own views, likes and dislikes), especially when aimed at authoritarian companys and organisations. You would know this if you weren't autistic. Try to BE POSITIVE.
>>97268994Yes, fuck subverting expectations, fuck the xenos.
>>9727009540k isn’t traditional games now? Faggot off with that shit.
>>9726899440kfags are just brownoids LARP-ing as White Supremists.
Has your character ever been in love?
>>97263412My character brings his comatose girlfriend with him in a low key gypsy wagon. While he's away he keeps her locked up but during downtime I make sure to take her outside so she gets sunlight and fresh air, I massage her muscles to make sure she doesn't atrophy, and I basically do a lot of elderly care for her, and at night I have sex with her limp body because that's what she would've wanted me to do. For some reason the players all are creeped out by this and one even called me a rapist. I am actually questing to revive her from her coma and the woman I imagined her as would approve of being used as an onahole but for some reason I'm the black sheep in the group.
>>97272654He has no idea this has happened. To his character and him, she was just some fling, though my character did convince her not to tell him about it. He made up a story about how the bard was doing this as a huge favor and even went so far as to drink a potion of forgetfulness to not remember the event, due to being very shy and secretive about the "relationship" his character had with mine. He also told her that if she revealed to the bard that this event happened, he would likely kill her out of paranoia of someone knowing of his "secret", and for her own safety, she should keep it to herself.
>>97263412Come to think of it, none of my player characters have ever had love interests. I can't even think of characters I made with it as an element in their backstory, let alone one that happened in a game. They're all as lonely as me.
>>97274234It would be awkward to RP that kind of stuff with your buddies, as much I think it belongs in stories
Outside of videogames where always end up picking ones that require a Greater Good sacrifice and end up sacrificing love for it, not that much. Maybe I'm attracted to tragic romanced, because I find run of the mill romance a bit boring.
How do we fix Steampunk?
>>97271433Because it takes a high IQ to fathom fantasy within the real.
>>97271801>And within a fantastical reality, it can have things that are natural to itself and unnatural to itselfNope. Reality is reality, even within the fiction.>And within a fantastical reality, it can have things that are natural to itself and unnatural to itselfYes I absolutely can. There's logic to why fantasy even exists at all. It all starts with us.
>>97271904>>97271801>It's fucking fantasy. You don't need to apply real world logic to it.Yes I absolutely can. There's logic to why fantasy even exists at all. It all starts with us.
>>97271258>>97271900>Because even in a true Atlantean-esque era like our ownpulling made up terms out of your ass is not an argument, anon> You drop a shiny and chrome enough candy bar wrapper into the past and suddenly it’s a sacred objectlol, if you say so. Whatever bloats your goats>>97271801>It's fucking fantasy. You don't need to apply real world logic to it.your """arguments""" are self-defeating, anon
>>97274222Do you REALLY think modern science and all of its mathematical diagrams and symbols and other infrastructural configurations *wouldn’t* look more radically esoteric or alien or “magical” to persons in antiquity, compared to anything else they could have artistically or imaginatively cooked up themselves? Lol. A cellphone would be more arcane than anything else around to them.

Everyone knows they are in a world created by a shitty world building thread.
Bolgar lore keepers are old wise men that are often called the Volk. They know many things about the world, both this one and the next, and can contact the spirits or even enlist their aid. Every oblast has one for the nobles are wary of the dark forests that surrounded their stone keeps and the terrible monsters that lurk within. The Green Men, Strigoi, Bog Maidens, Anglars, and others cross the veil to terrorize humanity for its soul is said to be the tastiest in the next world.Only the lore keepers know enough about pagan lore to appease these entities and to send them back from whence they came. Only they know these creatures' vulnerabilities. And their services cost more and more with every disappearance, straining the republic's coffers dry. >>97274024>shittyAin't that the truth.
The Bandit Kingdoms: a patchwork of big outlaw gangs that infest the land once known as the Reach. What was a bunch of farms and hamlets is now a maze of bandits and rough cattle towns where only the toughest can eek out a decent life. Most people live in terror of their savage overlords and only a few warlords seem to rise above being raiders... And even then, it must be said that the changes they make rarely stick and their realms rarely last before the gangs turn on each other once more.They're the South's rough equivalent to the Jackals. But unlike the Jackals, the Bandit Kings do maintain a semblance of order in a way. Rivals are ran off with most warlords preferring their operations to be running as smoothly as possible. The people of this land call themselves the Reachmen and have a lot of Bison iconography, in fact old folklore states the world rides on the back of a bull. The Church and the peasantry are none the wiser, and the bandits think that rats spawn from fallen trees.
There is a growing, yet harmless cult of people who claim that parts of the world make no sense or are only here as part of some higher being's trivial preference.Beyond this they don't really cause much direct trouble. Little do they know their insistence only makes the nonsensical stuff appear more often.
>>97256211>>97257888>>97273377fucking kek.
Welcome to /wbg/, the thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art. Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have, cunt!Last thread: >>96999149Worldbuilding links: Post someFantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator
>>97273499I have to admit I preferred the NWOD approach here. The image of vampires as predators of Jesus himself, their dark mirror, is more badass than "just" killing your brother because God had a very bad passive-aggressive way of communicating.
>>97273621Ok. My point was that blatant Biblical themes work mainy in "our 19-21th century" type of urban fantasy. Even if you find theoretical justification to add elves and orcs, it would be organic only in the formula>(N)WoD + KULT setting + Tiefling and Aasimar + Bright (2017, film)
>>97273721>(N)WoD + KULT setting + Tiefling and Aasimar + Bright (2017, film)+ Hellblazer + Hellboy
>>97273529I'm drawn to Cain because of several elements:The Mark of Cain.City of Enoch.Destined to Wander the Land of Nod.Founded the Fist City.Also, making Tiefling symmetrical to the Aasimar is compelling and gives a much needed myth gravity that normal Aasimar lack because they are less my grandpa had sex with an angel, I won the lottery, and more my grandpa were great heroes but also tyrants.
>>97273529As for elves = indistinguishable from actual demons for longer than people remember.
Everyone I know who watches Fatt Coville videos is a fucking terrible GM. I've never fully watched one and I am widely considered the best GM out of all 3 groups I'm part of. I am regularly requested to run campaigns. People borderline fall asleep in the games others run. There's also no tension because they know that these Coville acolytes will fudge rolls until all PCs survive the battle. If you're a good GM, it's an inmate talent you can hone over time. You're born that way. If you aren't, then no amount of shitty advice is going to make up for your lack of talent. It just is what it is. This idea that everyone should "try" DMing is retarded. The idea that anyone can be good at it? lolno. Its like some fat divorced on who suddenly decides he's gonna become a famous author. Fat chance. Most people fucking suck at GMing. Hell, most of them suck at playing, but at least in that case the game depends less on them.
>>97252361Did you try and get them to play something marginally different to 5e like ACKS or Pathfinder with 12 million rules for them to remember? Get them used to other systems buy running short campains with rules light systems like Mothership or Cairn.
>>97270251I don't even think rules light systems are always necessary; nine times out of ten, the people complaining about being unable to get their groups to try a new thing are doing a dogshit job of pitching the game. I will say it again: don't expect the players to buy in to learning a new game based on you telling them how cool it is; run a one shot with pre generated characters that introduces the basic rules and showcases how fun the game is.
>>97270251If you have to ease your group into playing other systems, there's already a problem. Alongside that, if you are fucking sick of generic D&D fantasy bullshit, playing more generic D&D fantasy bullshit isn't a solution to that grievance.
>>97232331I think session zeros should be a thing, formal or informal. Either way GM/DM advice is useless because every GM, theor skills, style, and what they want is different. Some GMs probably benefit from having 20 pages of notes for a session and planning for every possibility, my notes are a few stat blocks for likely enemies and some possible loot with me winging the rest. Some GMs might like reading 5 page backstories, I for one just want to know family, friends, origin, and goals of PCs. Some GMs like games built around the story where it's 90% roleplayong 10% mechanics, I for one love mechanics and combat.
>>97271637>Either way GM/DM advice is useless because every GM, theor skills, style, and what they want is different.There is still advice that is universal regardless of what your style is.
