>>97276467WoTC is a faggot retard company that shits on tradition to spite it's fanbase.
>>97276469I see you can choose to be a midget as a human now.Wonderful.
>>97276467It was considered problematic to have half races. I’m still not sure why. I thought the wokies were all for interracial marriage etc. Is it offensive to call someone half black? Are they just black? These are different species though. Just seems weird.
>>97276482Wokies are the most racist demographic in history. Like KKK crossburners are less pathologically racist in their worldview.
>>97276467As a half-elf enjoyer I also found this dumb, but (a) you could always use old content (b) you could use either human or elf and flavour as a half-elf expressing one or the other side of their lineage, and (c) they just reintroduced half-elves in the new Ebberon book in any event - so the misstep of not including them in the phb isn’t really a reason to eschew 2024 on its own. Overall I think the class and mechanics updates are mostly for the better.

How do you respond when your players choose to side with a character who is quite obviously, unapologetically evil and meant to be a villain? Typically, unless they leave behind evidence of their crimes, I'll usually let them follow the quest line along until they get killed or arrested somehow.
>>97275490>But... good luck with that. You're not going to find people with the balls to play evil characters, it's always dipping their toes in rather than willingness to play evil characters. They say they want one thing, then they see evil and freak out and try to backpedal.Can't relate.My Eberron group wanted to do a pirate campaign and they've thrown themselves right into the raping, pillaging and selling people into slavery.

>>97275017>what causes this phenomenon?Contrary to what brainlets will tell you, 40k's continued success and popularity rests primarily on the simple fact that GW design, manufacture, and sell the best heroic scale science-fantasy miniatures in the world.Trench Crusade, on the other hand, is in itself basically just a shitpost. And the "hobby" revolving around is shitposting.

>>97273128>pull ahead with the flexibility of weapon stealingWhat are good weapons to nab from other factions? I haven't paid too much attention to gear as much as to units.
>>97276121You really should pay attention to gear as it's one of the major IS failings. They're in this weird limbo of not having much of the advanced tech like NA/HL, but also not really having much of the weird/ramshackle stuff that the other factions have.They have no decent multi-shot weapon (machinegun is usually quite hard to leverage properly), and no weapons with that much punch outside of the Bull only weapons. And even with those the Murad is a bad choice for the Bull at +0 ranged. And is also the only "artillery" weapon that doesn't ignore long range/cover in some capacity, while also causing no injury rolls on anything other than what's directly hit.So good picks for HoW to steal are:NA - Auto-rifle, SMG, Heavy Flamer, Satchel Charge and maybe Machine Armour.TP - AT Hammer, Auto-pistol and Martyrdom Pills.My personal picks are the heavy flamer and auto-pistol as those give you anti-armour punch and a multi-shot weapon that a dual pistol melee focused Alchemist can really mke work.

Why were so many of the "OG" game designers insufferable faggots? It seems like the vast majority of game designers from the 70s and 80s were self-obsessed dickheads who openly hated and looked down on their customer base. There were obviously exceptions, and some like Gygax would go on to regret and apologize for it, but still, what made so many "professionals" back then such fags?Pic related: WFRP author James Wallis's response to a letter criticizing how railroaded The Enemy Within campaign was.
>>97271197Then why even bother commenting?
>>97250997they were nerds
>>97267830Oh that was way before my time. I worked with him in the late 2000s, and L5R was... what, late 80s, early 90s? I only played 4E.
>>97252354I get what your saying but I don't know of a single instance or read of one online, of an entire table agreeing to walk away from a game.
>>97250997Why do you lie? The critique wasn't regarding how "railroaded" The Enemy Within was. Also, "Yes, I sank your barge" is fantastic treatise on the intended tone of WFRP.It's not "adversarial GMing" nor faggotry as faggot zoomers in the thread insists.Autists that cannot understand subtext and tone really need to be genocided.

>>97276113I go and kill the man with dark skin because I'm racist but keep it on the downlow at the table and gave my character a flimsy in-character rationale for this kind of thing.
>>97276113>An old man wearing a ragged cloak over equally ragged clothes nurses a cooling cup of coffee while watching their antics, stirring in a spoonful of sugar after an exploratory taste.This is maybe the most 'actually' egregious one since both sugar AND coffee have only recently stopped being an insane luxury due to more capitalist/mercantilist(?) kinds of attitudes about making money. The other ones could/can change due to different geography, ecology, customs, culture, but the availability of sugar and coffee is an actual fundamental economics/supply issue.Coffee & chocolate, in the past were grown on "temple plantations"; where they would supply a very small group of priests and noble people as an insane luxury. 'Modern' coffee & chocolate likewise still has to be grown in low-labor conditions that are typically exploitative. Sugar is in a similar, but different, boat in that in the past there's been exceptions: sugar cane was grown by Southern Chinese & Taiwanese peasants as a kind of personal-spending-cash-crop in small allotments, in almost a similar way to how Greek, Italian, and French, peasants all kept vineyards. Though, after 1888 the Germans/Russians domesticated the sugar beet which cuckolded a lot of the sugar industry. Sugar beet is very hardy, can grow in cold climates, poor soil, and doesn't tax the land like sugar cane cultivation can (Brazil, Jamaica, Haiti, and Cuba, both experienced insane levels of soil nutritional depletion caused by excessive heavy sugar cane cultivation. Haiti and Cuba for a small period were literally made sterile by sugar cane.)There's your effort post.
