>>97303290>>97303325The Americans generally beat the other western powers to the use of the locomotive in warfare. While all powers saw the logistical usage, the first historical instance of what we would describe as a train designed for warfare, an armoured train, was the 'Armoured Battery', along the Baltimore-Pennsylvania railway network, whose workers had been continually subject to Confederate raids. It's more or less just iron plates nailed to a boxcar, with a 24-pounder on a turntable at the front. Gunholes for fifty riflemen were drilled into the sides of the boxcar. The British famously used more modern examples during the Boer War, and the Germans and Austrians would go on to build entire armoured railway batteries, but that would be pushing things a bit too far. It fits best with the American frontier ingenuity trope.
>>97307740No argument here. The British did use an armored train during the Anglo-Egyptian war but that's already what directly inspires a lot of the traction engine (Also the Steam Sappers of one of the Ashante Expeditions) so giving them another armored vehicle would be redundant.
>>97307740>>97309631Alright, if I keep it in the USA book, should I make it something where the carts you get are random (with perhaps, some options keyed in, for example the military one could be Federal Leader only...), or where you purchase each one? I'm thinking of putting a Valuable (x) rule on some Carts, like the Deepfolk's buildings, and you would score a percentage (or multiple) of that amount if you manage to get that Cart off the map on the 3rd, 4th, 5th turn for example.

>>97313075Looks good man. My only concern is if you move it in the future and the cards getting knocked around from their nice care you took centering them all
>>97313273Thank you :)>>97313695There's a ton of Velcro on the back lol and if I move to a new house in however many years I'd bring it by hand
>>97313396Wide meta does not mean game is balanced necessarily. There are cards and interactions that can be rather toxic and turn entire situations and get wins without much thought to it. There are strategies that are gatekept due to how punishable they are by certain cards.If your deck is particularly vulnerable to Royal Oppression and Deck Devastation Virus you are just handicapping yourself when the top meta contenders can chill under these cards. Brain Control is an unhealthy card, so is Heavy Storm. These cards were either banned or put at 1 copy in later formats. The lack of Effect Veiler also makes Hamster, Ryko, Caius very strong.Edison is a format that can be really fun, but let's not kid ourselves, it has issues, it's not perfect and by no means balanced. It's not different from many other formats in YGO's History.Also. On a personal note, I find it a little less enjoyable since it lacks a lot of cool archetypes from the late 5D's era like Scraps, Fabled or T.G.I must admit, thought. That I really like Amaryllis Burn and Edison is the only place where that deck is playable.
>>97313012>>97313084>>97313864This is really helpful. Working on a TTRPG that uses the cards for stats. This helps narrow down which ones to balance around.
Is yummy a fun deck to play as or against? Or should I save my master duel gems for something else?

>>97313925Invest it in paying off debts, getting better gear, upgrading the ship or getting a better ship, getting a luxury ship upgrade*, insurance, setting up a retirement fund and house, buying a house for my PC's parents, buying a small fleet of murder/cargo loading droids, buying a large herd of GONK droids and letting them roam freely on my new retirement estate's grounds (that one led to a fun adventure). The sky's the limit, and the GM is incentivised to have the player spend AS MUCH as possible.*https://swse.fandom.com/wiki/Luxury_Upgrade
>>97313973I mean I'm the DM. I don't know what to throw at my players. "Go kill womp rats in the local cantina basement" sounds lame.
>>97313952the lando dlc for star wars outlaws had a spaceliner casino that held the highest stake sabacc games around with a very ornate droid as the captain, not nearly to the scale as your droid, but its a bit funny the similarities official media would have down the road.
>>97313984"You've been hired by a local crime lord to kill an Imperial Moff who refuses to turn a blind eye to said crime lord's dealings" Now the party gets to decide what sort of morality it wants. Full murder hobo killing evil Imperials, or helping the Imperials enforce their evil lawful ways by helping them get rid of a crime lord.Or get jobs from a mysterious contact (who may or may not be a part of the Rebel Alliance) to strike and destroy Imperial infrastructure or steal money or ships from the Empire.Or stealing rare and valuable ancient artifacts from rich asshole who supports the Empire. Or from the local crime lord.Just spitballing here. You can take a lot of fantasy adventures and just replace things like "king" with "planetary governor" and still have cliche'd adventures rescuing a princess.The sky's not even the limit since there's also all that space out there to explore. Like having the party fly into an asteroid field to investigate an ancient derelict spaceship for anything valuable and/ or fighting off space pirates who want the loot for themselves or are just harassing local civilian traffic.>>97314004Heh, I might have to check that out.It does remind my of the many times we'd be in a public place and the party members would say "act subtle so you don't attract attention" and I'd have to remind them that "I am seven feet tall, four feet wide, and painted bright red. I do not do 'subtle'"
>>97314035quasi related, it's always been weird to me how droids never get to be eccentric or overly weird, hell the droid with the most personality is R2, and its just him being sassy and brash at most, or K-2S0 or HK-47 being very sarcastic. why can't we get droids who love to wear gaudy chains and furs and use blasters way over their weight tolerance and other dumb shit.

Anyone got any advice for running the DW Core adventure? The one with the magos and the time limit.
How do gene stealer cults start? Do the Tyranids send a planet an approximate of what the humans/whoever find a 10/10 mate or do they just send some bug to attack and rape the first human they see? I'm trying to start a campaign about the beginning stages of an invasion but don't really know what happens before the cult starts growing. How do they get human/tyranids in the beginning before the indoctrination? Also, can tyranids interbreed with or gain biomass from daemons
>>97314017...Are you under the impression that an argument about semantics SHOULDN'T be autistically specific in evidentiary standards?
D&D wizards aren't scholars, they pick up spells from a menu of premade options like fatman picks up "a number 9, large number 3 with fries and a soda" at Drive Thru.Only NPCs get to invent, test theories, discover new magic, form classifications, etc.
>>97304565Fuck you, it looks nice.
>>97314036False. Your DM is just bad at letting you do this. There are even rules in the DMG for letting your players design their own spells.
>>97314029>but it's clear already you're an absolute retard that would not accept this is the case even if wizards literally had an innate ability called Science™.I'd disagree with the author's use of the word qualifying for this argument if it was sufficiently contradictory to the empirical framework of study that is the contrast of the magic vs. science trope, but it's quite possible to demonstrate a scientific process through research rules that are incremental.>>97314036No, the free spells on level-up are fluffed as independent research and you actually have to spend time studying writings to copy them into your spellbook. And back in 3.5, you can find spell research rules on pg. 198 of the Dungeon Master's Guide:>Research requires an expenditure of 1,000 gp per week and takes one week per level of the spell. This money goes into fees, consultants, material component experimentation, and other miscellaneous expenditures. At the end of that time, the character makes a Spellcraft check (DC 10 + spell level). If that roll succeeds, the character learns the new spell if her research produced a viable spell. If the roll fails, the character must go through the research process again if she wants to keep trying.Of course, a "viable" spell is "DM-may-I" with fuck-all guidelines and remains devoid of what epistemological approach is used, but it does exist.

>>97313785there's probably 5 other people with similarly legitimate claims just in the same divebar
You know, while HexTech can look pretty generic, it being in the roughly 1:220 scale rather than 40k's 1:64/1:48 Heroic scale makes the terrain look a hell of a lot better, much less how the terrain rules roll out.Feels like the scale pushes a bit harder on the need for overall stylization, while Heroic scale pushes more on the realism side, which can more easily fall victim to the Uncanny Valley. Something that is naturally way harder to climb past when dealing with placeable terrain.

>>97313892Yup, you love 'baiting me' into verbally abusing you for a while, you like the attention since liamposting is a dry well at this point. All while you parrot insults back to me thinking you are clever, and/or are actually upsetting me somehow. I should call you a troon or a shitskin just to introduce it into your lexicon to prove my point. But I digress.You are highly predictable in your obsessions, and you'll do exactly as I predict because you can't help yourself.
>>97313987>I should call you a troon or a shitskinBecause you predict I'll call you it? Do you like being called a troon and a shitskin? I'm not going to make assumptions about things that aren't clear to me, but if you want me to call you those things, just say so and I will.
>>97314028See, I knew you'd happily parrot any insult I lob you as you think you're clever for it.
