>>97353435The anime bits are a weapon that's both a scythe and a bow, the general personality traits, literally referencing an anime as comparison. I'm not talking about the illustration.You're on the "right track" because it's difficult to incorrectly make up a character. Just follow the steps outlined in the book, write a short backstory of 1 paragraph to 1 page in length, think of a general personality and goals. 2014 PHB is better for new players because it has you think of your characters ideals, bonds, and flaws and provides examples in the Backgrounds section while 2024 just tells you to kinda do whatever.Only real way to "mess up" is not tabulating things correctly from the rulebook to your character sheet or making a character that is antagonistic to the party. You'll probably be fine, so don't worry>>97353394No it doesn't. You just made up your own definition. Generic just means sharing the defining qualities of a broad group of similar things. Genre is a broad group of similar things, of which both DnD and Pathfinder are similarly generic examples of a specific genre. In the realm of a TTRPGs as a group, DnD is not generic because its style, tone, and contents are wildly different from many other examples in the group. Everything in a genre is technically generic within the genre, that's why it's in the genre, while not being generally generic, which is why it receives the specific identifier of being in a genre.Universal systems like GURPS or Cypher are fully generic because they can't be genre defined and share the defining traits of all TTRPGs.In the context of this discussion you mean "setting agnostic" because in the genre of fantasy RPGs Pathfinder and DnD are both equally generic, but only one is setting specific
What's your favourite premade adventure? Ideally third party
>>97353760Eh, it's better than I thought, but still not as balanced as just making it temp hp. What you made is largely useless in combat while essentially meaning the party will never be below half hp at the start of any combat.A temp HP scaling d4 at range would probably get more use in combat without breaking out of combat healing
>>97354211>Odyssey of the dragonlordsI ran this, they're big fans of loading the party up with NPCs. I recommend having the NPCs come and go instead. They have a literal god following them around usually but I had her kind of fuck off 90% of the time and come and check in on them sometimes from out of the blue. >Dan coleman's one shotsAll good dungeons with a mix of different encounters. I recommend Bad Apples in particular.>Dungeons of DrakenheimI've heard very good things about it. From what I've read it looks pretty good.Lots of other ones out there. The best thing about 5e is the third party content.
>>97354091I'm not sure it's worse or better in 2024. 2024 is a short rest healing in a box plus a healing buff for spell based healers. 2014 is just a once per rest heal that provides no passive benefits.Multiple characters might want 2024 healer. 2014 healer was only takeable by maybe a Thief.

>>97345752>Post up the army list itself? I'm curious to see what it's like with stats and such, and what you're taking.Certainly! It's the 2e Dark Eldar fandex by "Grim Squeaker" which tells me nothing, but it's built off the 5e+ dark eldar army list, I included a screenshot of the cover for reference.Dark Eldar Fandex list 1500 points.Characters:Archon: 174Strategy Rating 4.Splinter Pistol, Frag Grenades, Blind Grenades, Plasma Grenades, Agonizer, Poisoned Blade.Dark Eldar Combat Drugs:Painbringer: +1 TWargear Cards:Comment too long.

>>97345752My rationale is to bundle the Blaster/Splitercannon squads in a pair of raiders and push them up the table to contest and harrass the shit out of things, while the dark lance squad hangs back to snipe heavier shit. Archon and incubi are in the last raider and the Talos will act as a counter attack force where ever I get bogged down by the enemy. Ravager provides highly mobile anti armour/anti terminator/meganob platform. And hopefully, this gets me a win, but the ultimate is to see how fun this particular fandex is.
>>97346036>1500 pointsAnd what would you field with 500 points?
>>97347897I'd take the archon again, stripped down of wargear and shit, he'd be there to agonise something to death. I'd take a raider squad, but drop one of the upgrades on the skimmer for points, a smaller warrior squad to sneak around for some opportunity plays. List would look like this...Dark Eldar 500 points.Characters:Archon: 99Splinter pistol, Agoniser, ghostplate armour, plasma and frag grenades.Squads:Kabalite Warriors: 1767 warriors with Splinter Rifles and frag grenades, 1 warrior with Blaster and frag grenades, 1 warrior with Splinter Cannon and frag grenades. Sybrabite with Splinter Rifle and frag grenades.Kabalite Warriors: 983 warriors with Splinter Rifles and frag grenades, 1 warrior with Blaster and frag grenades, Syrabite with Splinter Rifle and frag grenades.Comment too long.

News from the front, played the trial game with the new deldar fandex and was not impressed, from the anemic character selection, to the missing rules reference and never elaborated, it just made for a particularly unfun experience. Though on a positive note the armoury was well composed, using my weapons available to me really did sell what they're supposed to be. The darklight guns(dark lance and blaster) were the high impact anti-armour/heavy infantry pieces they're supposed to be, the splinter weapons are a good high volume of fire and moderate and reliable damage like they should be, disintegrator cannons on my raiders were great, the 2 sustained fire dice for them is a damn good feel.Next week will see me using the Codex Commoraghii fandex from 2008, this one was written off of the 3e army list and cleaves closer to 2e design principles, so maybe this will feel better than this 5e+ derived fandex I used today, the week after that see's me using the oldest of the bunch, a fandex written in 2000, still with 2e fresh in mind. From these games I'll determine either the list most aligned with what I want out of dark eldar in 2e or a foundation for me to iterate my own idea of what they should be.
Is it better to have fully anthropomorphic beast people in your settings or just humans with like animal ears and tails?
>>97330128Neither.I prefer scattering around fairytale style talking animals; I don't tend to explain them, but at a push they'd be forest spirits or a manifest genius loci, or the result of magical tampering.>Talking fox tries to sell you junk>Go on a quest for the "King of the Mice", who is just a regular sized talking mouse with a tiny crown>Barnyard cat and retired wizard's familiar is sole witness to a murder, but cannot legally testify, due to still being a cat.
>>97351691We get it, you're brown.
>>97353511>>Barnyard cat and retired wizard's familiar is sole witness to a murder, but cannot legally testify, due to still being a cat.being a cat is no excuse to not answer a court summons, especially since it is known that the cat knows how to speak and thus presumably listen to a reading of the court summons.
>>97351382That looks even worse though

It is the year 199X. Your friends have just sent you a text message to your Nokia 3210, saying they can't make tonight's D&D game.Which of these games do you play, to single-playerly experience that classic 'dungeon crawler' feel?
>>97348620I like the old shit. It's good. Not sure what your greentext is supposed to imply, but good luck with it?
>>97347722sure, but i was still playing my Mega Drive when i got a Nintendo 64. and that's a blatant 2D -> 3D jump. wasn't even some 'retro' gimmick, just fancied playing Sonic 3 every now and then.3D obviously improved very rapidly but if anything that's even less of a change. look at this, it's Daggerfall but the characters are 3D instead of sprites.
>>97353228Peripherally related, but damn was Morrowind a good game.
>>97348542Sure you'd text in 199x but only in the latter half, was still less common than just calling your friends' house

Whats the better system to run for my dollar store Univrsal Centry setting?Gurps or mekaton?
>>97353060https://fortress-miniatures-and-games.myshopify.com/collections/dream-pod-9
>>97353202If you are going to be building all the stuff for the setting anyway I'd say GURPS. Especially since you can use both tactical and range band rules from Spaceships as needed. If you want do it in Mekton this is probably the best starting pointhttps://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Running_Mobile_Suit_Gundam_in_Mekton_ZetaBut you still need to build all the stuff yourself.
>>97353643>If you want do it in Mekton this is probably the best starting point>https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Running_Mobile_Suit_Gundam_in_Mekton_Zeta>But you still need to build all the stuff yourself.Just use Gundam Senki bro, the One Year War is what it's specifically build for so it has all the shit already statted.

Besides Shadowdark, are there any other TTRPGs that have playable goblins?
>>97346093Glad you enjoyed them. I drew a few for the previous gobbo thread.
>>97341430Funny how that guy who insists goblins must be ugly is nowhere to be found.
>>97351756That's what I like about cartooning. You can make stuff as cute or as ugly as you like. A lot of my male goblin faces tend to look the same, but there's no reason you can't give them more rounded faces or stubbier noses for a little variety.
>>97351756He is a homosexual, plain and simple. Everything he says is just windowdressing.
where the goblin femboys at?
>Dark elves exist to be evil elves>There's occasionally orcs that are noble savages rather than pillagers>Even dwarves have some evil equivalents like chaos dwarfs in warhammer and whatnotWhat would a "Dark" equivalent to gnomes be like? How do you corrupt a little jolly bearded man from the woods into something evil?
>>97353997The Hobbit was published in 1937. Gnomes are folklore inventions from centuries ago. I think gnomes have endured for far longer. Regardless, the point is that trying to use gnomes to make them fit into Tolkien-inspired races is getting them backwards. They should be the original ones, older and more magical, no the other way around.
>>97353858>>97353874Rather then evil Gnomes, what would 'Good' Kobolds look like?
pretty sure Deep Gnomes are a thing in a few settings, and generally they're schizophrenic and disturbed by things that lurk in the deepest parts
>>97353846Gnomes are evil gnomes
>>97354009The Gnomes was published in 1977Paracelsus's gnomes have as much to do with modern fantasy gnomes as the dwarfs of the sagas have to do with Tolkien's dwarves"Gnome" has just become the standard English translation for a dozen different little guys from different European folklore

>>97353304Not gonne happen this edition. 4 operative teams are a no go and the other assassins are horus heresy only.
>>97353735Death cult assassins are diff than officio assassinorium doughbeit
>>97353937oh that, sorry then not gonne happen because sanctifier already have one.
>>97353304I'd say your best options are either using e.g. striking scorpions/banshees as a proxy, or enjoying the assassins in either sanctifiers or starstriders teams.
>>97354064nta, but Sanctifiers already overlap with Inquisitional Agents like this and those in turn overlap with Battleclade. I can see Death Cult kill team being made eventually, it would make sense here
Do you prefer Pokémon, Yugioh, or Magic the Gathering?
>>97349059Fuck those guys.They are all gay, and they fuck the balance when you're the only guy with a planeswalker.I know, because I was that guy; got all my mates to go for the promotional free deck; everything was fine 'til I got a Gideon.It whacks the game balance; I drew that fucker and my mates povo decks crumbled.The mechanic is clearly a bolt-on, poorly balanced and poorly thought out.Needless to say, everybody got bummed out and stopped playing.Because planeswalker cards don't just suck conceptually, they suck the fun out of the game, and that's worse.But I digress.I have forsaken TCG's; they are of the devil.
>>97349059I actually don't hate planeswalkers from a mechanical standpoint, even if I think it's pretty unnecessary. They have done, and would do fine, as legendary creature cards.My beef is that the shift in portraying a wide cast of new planeswalkers as main characters was part of some very bad story decisions. We kind of saw two major sides of Magic before the Mending:>Planeswalkers as part of the conflict with Phyrexia, surrounding the life of Urza>The exploration of worlds where Planeswalkers are either wholly absent, or are more important for the background of the worlds that things are happening in, rather than the main focus charactersWhat we moved on to is:>"No, guys, we're totally not trying to capitalize on superhero team tropes right now. Who cares about the integrity of lore for the worlds we're visiting? It's all about the characters we can't write well! They're planeswalkers like you, so we want to lean into them, but we're losing faith in story's ability to be sold, so we're going to drop the ball right after we make this huge change in how we market the game!"

i like how people have interpreted this in different ways.but i'd make it a black-and-white rule: no technology. or maybe, no technology for COMMUNICATION (print out character sheets, sure).one of those axioms like "don't eat any foods your grandparents couldn't have". it's folksy but if you omit keyboards and screens, there goes /tg/, Reddit, Discord, Roll20 (and the rest).you may even have to play games with your friends that you already know.
