The Steyr ACR is the only rifle that doesn't get completely raped by Nano Banana or just reproduced looking like a shitty photoshop when using it as a reference image
>>97287989Interesting.
there difference between nano banana and nano banana pro still seems pretty drastic
>>97288020Dawn of War 4 is looking good!
>>97288020The Pro is somewhat better but fuck paying for this shit, I just need comprehensible reference images. Sometimes the Pro does think in troll logic though from what little I have tried, it will just make pic rel and not even apologize
Redneck EditionDiscuss and post elves. Elf lore, gameplay, and art are all appreciated.QOTT: Which artists do you think drew the best elves?
>>97287563Deed was from the tabletop before she was from the anime.
>>97287763I'd vote Nissa from MTG. She's easily the most significant named elf in that game.
>>97287773oops, meant to quote >>97287563Or anime Nissa if you really want.
>>97287763i suppose that's fairone could argue that she's mostly known from the anime, but then one could just as easily argue that drizzt is mostly known from the books
>>97285944>edgy for edginess sake blades, spikes and capes etc everywhere.>intimidationPick one>and more sensible to look at.Eldar armor looks like general sci-fi scin-tight costumes (and not even the cool intimidating way like in some other sci-fi settings), while elven armor in Fantasy looks functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Tabletop and nerd culture becoming the hip thing to do is the worst thing that has happened to this once niche culture.I work 40 hours a week, play vidya, workout, have to take out parents/grandparents out to eat on holidays and birthdays, and I can meet schedule and play tabletop just fine because this is my hobby and has been my hobby for 20 years.

>>97283701Damn, hope you get to play one of them someday.
>>97275912I've noticed this.I agree with this.It pisses me off, but I don't know how to confront my friends about it without alienating them.I don't know why they insist on playing with me every week, but don't seem to care about the hobby like I do. I enjoy learning the rules, figuring out the world, hell, I even like just quietly sitting there reading the books and imagining games that could be. I like roleplaying too.My group doesn't give a shit. Only one other guy can even be counted on to read the rules, and he's our forever DM. He's taking a break so another guy can run right now, and SURPRISE, he didn't decide to read the rules and figured he's just learn it as he went. Luckily it's OSRS shit so the rules are usually the same, but it's definitely a huge annoyance when he references 5e D&D concepts that aren't supposed to exist.
>>97275912>run a game for my friends>I've built an Excel character sheet that prompts them for any and all inputs and performs all calculations>fifteen minutes to build a character, tops, and it can then be printed into a clean and easily-referenced copy for use at the table>this also means that, if they haven't done it by session time, I can sit them down and take care of it while everyone else is getting the dice out and picking seatsWith a little bit of effort, your games can be all but frictionless.

Why do "modern" and modern people go insane when they see some eldritch blorblo, but Conan could just kill it without going "aaaaaahhh save me niggerman!!!!!"
>>97283372>Conan>perfect incurioushave you ever read Howard's work ?
>>97287123Nobody on this board actually reads the Conan stories. Secondaries are a plague
>>97281870You go insane not because of alien geometries. You go insane because as a modern man, you have been taught that man is the master of cosmos, then faced with the reality that you are not even a flea next to cosmic monsters.

>>97287887>I played against a Survivor deck a week or two ago, was a good game overall I'd say. I lostI'm assuming you had to deal with this guy? Once you get Factory Shell up and running, it usually isn't going to turn out well for opponent (or you in this case).

>>97287952I did! Replaying the game in my head. Wish I could remember what he ended on. I managed to get rid of him but my opponent top decked... something can't remember. Was later in the game and they ended up winning shortly after. When we got to late game I managed to wipe his board but my board presence wasn't great so he managed to make a comeback.

>>97286385Enforcers seems to be an aesthetic choice from what I've experienced so far. Especially if they're people coming from 40K. Its hard to break out of bolt guns and uniforms I guess.
>>97286385It's the latter. They don't care about fluff, they just are going off of aesthetics. Players don't want to read a source book. They want to watch yt videos of sweet lore and then beat up the other players with their cops.

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
>>97281054>Realistically what would life in a world of superheroes where your ability is defined by your bloodline be like?Well, for a start, bloodline powers means secret identities do fuck all unless your entire family tree keeps that shit secret, so masks are out.Also means supervillains would be pretty rare for the same reason. You aren't gonna have people start trying to crime when their powers are basically a fingerprint unless they're immediately willing to live on the run. There's a difference between running after you get caught and running in the first place and people willing to do A aren't necessarily going to be willing to do B.
>>97281771So they are basically Wolverines and can start hunting humans.
>>97283402Huh?
>>97285165>Their blood can cure illnesses>Their bones are beautiful and jewel-like (Adamantium)>Their hair is nearly unbreakable and can be woven into unbreakable fabric
>>97285959I never thought of it like that, but they're not nearly as unkillable.They can die easily like anyone else, and are hunted like animals

>>97287717Of course you understand we're about to raid three different places in Bridgeport, and if we get our hands on the floozy before you, you won't get your reward.Then again, in the event we don't find or get her, the doorstep is fine, ring the bell and our staff will pick the coffin up, once we're done identifying her you'll be free to discuss your payment method of choice.
>>97287769Let's hope neither of us grab a body-double by mistake. Time to ask a favor from Scholar.-Kakophoni
Kakophoni is gonna go speak with Scholar, temporarily get a power boon of Obtenebration and go grab the target using shadow-step to cover ground quickly. Once staked he drops them off. Whether he grabbed the real one or one of her body-doubles is up to Venus' player. I'm trying this style out if it's not good let me know so I can adjust accordingly.
>>97287844 gonna turn in for the night, didn't get sleep last night so passing out early.
>>97287844Venus in Furs would prefer for Kakophoni to attend the briefing and fight guns blazing alongside House Venus and their allies, but ultimately she doesn't give a fuck as long as somebody delivers some results. She's an old enough vampire to know when to look the other way, and there is no problem in having Kakophoni getting some spotlight and doing the loner secret agent thing, especially if Haschke doesn't have any meaningful reason to be necessarily, physically located in either the militia HQ, social centre or drug alley.The Devil Wears Me has a... "very personal reason" to offer this reward and he is very confident he can tell the real thing from a possible fake once he can have a little conversation with this ancient enemy, best if with a thrice blood bound Haschke (who was almost completely drained and just woke up from torpor).If you ask me having stunt doubles around when nazi hunters and photo archives are a thing... isn't the most clever of plans, so I legit didn't think of that.Uncle's objective is and remains to deliver the bitch to the Prince, the reward was just an incentive, and if Kakophoni can do this Navy SEAL copypasta thing to get her, then it's money well spent in his mind.
Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere. And as we enter this happiest and newest of years, remember: 2e was never an old-school game, bait is for reporting, and fish is for smoking! Happy new year, grogs! Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency. If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help: >n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0 >Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128 >Need a starter dungeon?

>>97286902>>97286698 (me)Hyperborea definitely shares the bones but it really is its own thing. I actually quite enjoy segmented combat, so it's something I'd likely houserule back into Hyperborea.
>>97286902NAYRT but IMO it makes perfect sense. You can agree that OSRIC is the most faithful AD&D retroclone and still think Hyperborea is the *better* AD&D retroclone. LotFP occupied a very similar niche relative to B/X pre-OSE: I don't think anybody would have argued it was more faithful than Labyrinth Lord. People just liked it better.
>>97287008I think that's a fair point. Though I guess you'd want to qualify what sort of retroclone it is as >>97286631did.
>>97287008Hyperborea is not a retroclone.
>>97287212For sure, I agree.
How would adding a female only paladin order improve your setting?
>>97285712Historically, abbesses wielded real political power, controlled lands, and some could even mint coins or raise troops. You could expand this: make religious orders one of the few paths to education and political influence, creating a parallel power structure. The Church could require female representation in certain councils, or have traditions where certain theological or diplomatic roles are reserved for women.Prolonged conflicts or crusade-equivalents could create precedents where women defend castles, lead forces, or serve as military commanders out of necessity - which then becomes normalized over time.Different inheritance laws make a massive difference. Gavelkind (dividing inheritance among all children) versus primogeniture, or systems where daughters inherit in absence of sons. You could have regions with different legal traditions that create interesting dynamics when noble families intermarry.
