>>97221591>>97221664Sometime after the first print, but by the fourth. Errata v4.4 lists:"Movement Restrictions: Whether or not the battle armor is equipped with magnetic clamps, no vehicle may expend UMU, VTOL, WiGE or Jumping MP while carrying mechanized battle armor, and no ’Mech may expend UMU MP."This was changed to the text I posted here >>97221567 in the 10th printing. (That's likely why it ISN'T in CI, as that box released before the 10th print, and never got errata'd.
The only way Battle Armor can move underwater is with UMUs, right?
>>97221711They can move under water just fine.Just not fast, so they count as out of the game for the couple minutes a combat encounter lasts.
>>97221247Eisensturm is a flying Atlas with dual gauss rilfes.Though I think FWL's Shiva is pretty good as well. It also has a dual gauss configuration but on top of that also has a pulse laser one that absolutely shreds units when making ground attacks (remember that ASFs attacking ground units always count as attacking from short range, so you always get the -2 from pulses). It does have far less armor than the Eisensturm, but you get 3 Shivas at the BV of 2 Eisensturms, and regardless of the armor tye Eisensturm still gets one-shotted by an unlucky lawdart roll.
>>97220893Strider you are overlooking that it is frankly insanely cheap and a bit of a zombie in the grand scheme of things thanks to C.A.S.E. and a standard engine. If you treat it like an IFV meant to transport and support BA then it does have moments to shine.Owens yeah no idea what they were thinking. Its basically scout competing with a bunch of excellent scout options and even using one as a spotter feels like an expensive waste?
what do you think of the wordbuilding and lore of vermis?
>>97214218>this is an acid slug>it's a slug>it spits acid
What does /tg/ think of other Hollow Press products?Manosinistra and Pilgrims of the Murkdome seems pretty interesting in their settings as ttrpg

>>97220343This would require jewart to admit PSCT is an unsightly monstrosity doe.
>>97220409These motherfuckers are talking about adding glyphs and shit to the cards. Updating PSCT is a hell of a lot more likely than tewart turning every card into a sticker catalogue.
>>97220409I think Japan updated to the bullet points and the like at least a few years after PSCT was devised.
>>97218919I think TCGrepublic sells sealed OCG stuff too. I've only bought singles from them and never looked for sealed so take this word with a grain of salt.
Best archetype to mix with Cubics?
Does anyone else feel like the Byzantine Empire is the closest thing human-kind had to an Elven civilization analogy during our actual history's middle ages? Or am I crazy?Even the part where their highly advanced culture was eventually wiped off the face of the Earth and forgotten in most normie perceptions of history.
>>97222151The displeasure and enmty the Pope fostered against the Byzantines is underrated in pop history.A Venetian or a Florentine would have died rather than recognising them as "more advanced" or even "more Roman"
i dont really know enough about the actual societal structure to give you a solid answer, but to count as a elven-esque civilization, my criteria would be>high culture>disciplined>sophisticated>refined>skilled in craftsmenship, art and scholarship>strong sense of identification and loyalty with their nation and the ruling structuresAll counting for a high elven-esque society, of course.
>>97222151>was eventually wiped off the face of the EarthElves leave to a better place.Fallen elfen empires killed by lesser races is soulless garbage.And making blunt analogies between fantasy tropes with entire real life cultures is midwit garbage. Try writing a fantasy race that only works as a fantasy race.

>>97216334Not the requester, but I like it. Looks a bit like Yakub, lol
>>97216334OR here. Amazing work!Having others do their own take on my stuff is a great learning tool for me
I'm not sure if I'm good enough yet to start contributing, but since the majority of my art is fetish related, I've really been meaning to break out into other content types. I already work in high fantasy, so... I'll be lurking!
I can see your taste, but I can also tell you have talent. Just try to keep your fetishes in check and you are welcomed (even though I am curious myself)
>>97221426I don't particularly like trying to 'correct' people, especially since i'm not really a drawfag, but, just in my own experience, for example, if it were me, I probably wouldn't draw women with the face folds and wrinkles. They make them look a lot older. I tried removing it, and lo and behold she looks like 30 years younger to me.Of course, it's clear you've got a good 'skill base' so the potential is there.

>>97221726It is, but some prefer to do very little with it. The John Smith the farmer type. I think a better question may have been do people like going in depth or making complicated backstories?
>>97221896the last session I ran, everyone missed, me the GM included, somehow felt very much in line with the tone of the game as it was set in Brancalonia, but fuck it made the combat longer than it was supposed to

>>97221620What would his traits be? I'd have to drop the drug theme.
>>97220865>>97221130That stopped to be as much of an issue for me when I started to think of leveling as figuring out new shit at a dramatic moment, and not a gradual and structured process of learning.Something along the more "cinematic" line of just making your new feature up on the spot because you're pushed harder than before, and maybe if you trace this sigil instead of that one the fire explosion will be bigger let's try spinning that's a good trick HOLY SHIT IT ACTUALLY WORKED.Like, when a PCs levels up into their 4th-tier in six months after 30 years of being level 1, they're not that much of a different person than they were before, it is just that their abilities were pushed far enough my circumstances that they figured how to put into practice new abilities they had always been capable of.

>>97218001See how he recoils>I've been caught
>>97220252Perpetuals are the worst thing the HH books introduced and everything about them is shit. But that story was too obviously made up even in the context of 40k's silliness. So I don't agree that it was ever a powerful metaphor for anything more than, "people really will believe the weirdest shit".
I literally don't remember half of these, no, because as someone who bought the Book of the Astronomican when it came out you've made most of them up.It was never directly stated that the Primarch's were clones. Heck, they were just Chapter Masters and when they got firmed up just before 2nd Ed they were always stated to be genetically engineered, so they weren't clones. Logically bits of their DNA were always taken from others.The Imperium were literally breeding with Eldar in the RT rulebook.Salamanders were just black guys (actually it was never explicitly painted and probably just a coincidence from the guide from the paint set but lets roll with that) and the ashen skin guys was itself an incredibly dumb retcon.The custodes were 100% nothing because there were only four lines of text about them until fucking 8th edition.LE2 had a beaked helmet, but literally the second marine model ever, LE10, didn't.The Emperor being dead was always fannon that had a few bits of in-world evidence but just as much that directly contradicted it.The Emperor's motivations were always shady, given he was literally nicked from Dune and that comes with it.

ITT overrated cards in MTG
>>97217996>Does nothing on it's own>Dies to removal>Doesn't synergize with itself (4 of them plus 3 lands is a shit hand)
>>97221058Someone can also respond to Swords to Plowshares
>someone plays a threat>play Gilded Drake>nick the threat for myself>they now have a 3/3 flierObviously you're not going to use it on a token or on a card that's worse then a 3/3, but there are a fuckton of situations where Gilded Drake just wins you the damn game. If you nick someone's big Timmy creature, for one.
>>97218965>other players seeing you as a bigger threat means the card is badStealing a commander draws a fuckton of aggro, that doesn't mean that's bad. It means IT IS GOOD YOU RETARD, YOU ARE DRAWING AGGRO BECAUSE YOU ARE AHEAD
>>97222188I didn't say it was bad, just that if you'r goal is to remove the opponent's commander in a way where it doesn't just go back to the command zone there are better options, since there's a good chance that one of the 3 other players will just Plowshare it and it goes back to the command zone.Gilded Drake is the best card for stealing an opponent's creature, but stealing creatures is a fairly niche form of removal (not being instant-speed is a big drawback, and it's not even the best way of shutting opponents from using their commanders, so to get most of it you have to build a deck around steal effects or bouncing the card to steal multiple creatures), and it's not so much better than the second best option to be worth the ridiculously high price of the card (though if you allow proxies, that's admittedly not an issue).

The 0.2mm nozzle is clogged AGAIN!
A while back some anon here gave away the armageddon legion to another anon. Pinched them myself for later and finally made a batch of them. Theres just short of 40 since my printer is acting up. Fucking thing has resin leaking out and even into the walls of the resin tray. Changed out the FPA just to strip some screws fucking hell. Anyway thanks for reading my blog, heres a bunch of militia soldiers.
>>97206661Found this for free “wayfarer-modular-crystal-palace-terrain-tiles-18mm-scale“.The modularity could be good for you to make several crystal parts?
This Christmas I have a printed 6 firestrke turrets, 2 ballistus dreads, 1 brutalis dread, 6 outriders, 20 plauge bearers, 2 grudge throwers, 3 chaos spawn, and a dwarf hq riding the shield that i cant remeber the name of, for my freinds. All for the cost of like 40ish burger bucks of resin give or take. Its fucking crazy to me that anyone really into wargaming or mini painting wouldnt get into 3d printing.
>>97220891You need to print some more stuff so it fits into the twelve days of christmas song, just call it 12 days of printmas
Games where Intelligence is the best stat? Hard mode: not because of magic.

You get to improve skills by +10% for each point of Intelligence in BRP at the end of character creation. Also the Idea rolls can be versatile and really useful, depending on how much the GM lets PCs get away with.

Previous thread: >>97111514GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.Thread question: How often do you use an official GURPS setting? Which are your favorites?
I was playing Hogwarts Legacy and it got me wondering how a soft magic like that of Harry Potter would work in GURPS. RPM?
>>97222128Isn't rpm kinda slow for how hp uses magic?
>>97222128Harry Potter is just standard Magic where magery has a gadget limitation for wands.
>>97222145True. I mentioned it because it was the first 'manaless' system that came to mind.>>97222175The spellcasting speed is about right, as well as the piecemeal nature of spells, but wizards doesn't seem limited by FP/EP and learning individual spells seems very easy, children learned Wingardium Leviosa in a single class.
>>97222175>>97222185Also Wizards can cast spells without wand, it's just easier to do so.Under standard magic system, I guess wands could be several levels of gadget Magery. Having it increases skill levels with all spells by a large margin, so even dabblers can cast spells but to do so without it a wizard needs to study the spell a lot.I guess it could explain why not even very talented mages like Dumbledore and Voldemort bothers with wandless magic.
