I think the game's entire color identity is archaic as fuck and that locking essential game mechanics behind colors was extremely retarded design that would've resulted in the instant death of any other tcg made after mtg. Green is the best color because it has reasonable access to the two most important game mechanics, ramp and draw, albeit it handles draw the way it should've been for every color from the start by making it conditional based on what the color generally tries to do (big creatures).The mechanics of the Magic are solid but the design of the color pie and colors themselves is mega shit and if it weren't for the fact it was the first tcg and has a playerbase of sunk cost pay pigs who have turned this game into their intended retirement plans Magic would've folded years ago due to how badly designed its actual color pie and mana system is. I hope someone can finally figure out to just copy Magic's rules but make a better color pie and mana system so mtg finally dies and we can all move onto playing something better.
>>97283556I the general idea is great, but some of the execution has been horrendous. Why does blue get literally every single way to counter spells instead of spreading it out a little bit. Like white being the colour that can tax spells further to possibly counter them, green can counter artifact spells, etc. It's similar for draw effects, but not as bad. Why did blue get the combat related draw effect (coastal piracy) instead of white for example. Enchantment hate basically being locked behind two colours (three if you take blue's counterspells into account) is also pretty bad.

>>97283799They need to bring table sizes back up to 6x4' too. It's too easy for shooting armies to just turtle up on the smaller table sizes and completely screen out deep strikes against their more powerful units.

This is a bad thread. The sheer amount of spam overtook whatever potential this thing could've had.

Isharmla..
>>97275912>>97282627Which games let me play as Isharmla?
>>97275912That's also something that annoys me a lot. Players sign up for a game weeks in advance, then, one or two days before the session they sent a message: "I forgot my aunts birthday. Can't join the session." Fuck you! I spent hours writing a story, integrating the characters, preparing props. It really makes me want to drop the hobby.
>>97275912I often take a week or two to create characters even for systems that I know intimately well, just thinking about characterization, weighing options, reading up on appropriate fluff/lore/facts, and various background aspects.And there is nothing you can do about it, normie.
>>97283516>I spent hours writing a story>want to drop the hobby.You can't drop a hobby you were never in, /lit/hoid.
>gameplayFor Centaurs, you should be able to use them as mounts when not in combat if they're lightly armed & armored. I think you could ride into battle with them and fight on their back without overburdening them, depending on your loadout. Squeezing into dungeons and caves might be a bit of a bitch, and your centaur companion may find themselves too cumbersome to accompany you in certain locations. If people in wheelchairs can make do, I'm sure a transmog potion or a shrinking potion might solve the problem.>fantasy settingsThey're more at home here for sure, like having a horse. Some taverns may give you a hard "no" for your centaur companion, but I'm sure regions that are steeped in centaur culture or adjacent ones have accommodations for their unique anatomy. If nothing else, they could help carry your camp supplies and other provisions. >loadouts for fantasyIf you're not riding them, I think they can be pretty well armed and armored- think tower shield and a mace/flail. They also make good spearmen, so I think they'd be comfortable wielding a halbard and similar pike-style weapons. This would be with them wearing plate mail cuirass for the human portion and chainmail curtain over their horse hind quarters, or perhaps some specially fitted Gambeson. Other plate sections could be fitted to their horse body as needed. Archery and crossbows seem like they'd work for ranged options. I've not considered them using magic, but having a fairly mobile spellcaster seems cool as well.
>>97280717>I'd envisioned medical centaurs hauling a whole carriage of wounded or delivering supplies.This. I fail to see why EVERY race has to be able to occupy EVERY role in the military. This reeks of woke inclusivity bullshit.You don't want ork surgeons in the field hospital, unless they're dentists or something, maybe not even that.You don't let elves lug around boulder-sized hammers no matter how much they whine, bitch and moan.And you don't employ kobolds in heavily-armored shock troops.Everyone should play to their racial strengths, centaurs shouldn't be an exception to that simple rule.
>>97282271>military conscription and putting unsuited personnel to a position that needs to be filled is wokeI can assure you that despite all the propaganda, the military is not a well oiled machine where everyone can be their best selves.
>>97283238Try as you might, you won't be able to make a halfling wear the giant's armor and be an effective combatant.Throwing ill-equipped people at the enemy have never worked. You either outsmart or out-tech the opposition.>but muh Soviets…Were not fucking butchers, nor were they underequipped past the first couple of months.Outsmarting and McGyvering shit on the spot was happening left and right.If you don't have enough people to fill a certain role, you make do with replacement, i.e. using horses instead of centaurs where possible.Or you switch tactics entirely, such as resorting to sending saboteurs, and ambush or trap warfare when you've lost your orks and only have goblins on hand.You might get away by keeping a sizeable amount of people in reserve to even out the imbalances, but the expenses will add up quickly during a war.Either way, it would be rather silly to not take the mixed nature of one's army into account and set up contingency plans.This, by the way, highlights the difficulties associated with mixed race armies that rely on specific racial strengths.A less rigid structure would instead have a range of roles for races, or group races based on a set of common traits.It's gonna be a pain in the dick whatever you choose to do, but specialization has it's perks, namely higher potential of each specialized group.Comment too long.

>>97283473UUUHyou wouldnt lose so many orks if you didnt only send in the goblins once youd lost them allthere is ONLY hybrid warefare these days.and yes a lot of soldiers die because a retarded overhead wont let them innovate and doesnt know what those guys need to be doing.politics and fragile egos have allways been and allways will be the main driving force behind war.
>>97283473>Try as you might, you won't be able to make a halfling wear the giant's armor and be an effective combatant.Militaries make equipment in different sizes and depending on the period, soldiers would have to equip themselves. Besides, if you don't have a giant and only halflings, you either use those halflings or surrender. History of warfare is full of cases where clerks and cooks with basic training are sent to the front lines. When there's a hole that needs plugging, you make do with what you got.>Throwing ill-equipped people at the enemy have never worked.Yet militaries keep doing it time and time again.>You either outsmart or out-tech the opposition.Or outproduce.>but muh Soviets…Project 100000, for example. People who did not meet the minimum requirements for enlisting were still taken in to keep recruitment numbers up. And while the idea was to use them for logistical support, a lot of them ended up in the front lines anyway.>If you don't have enough people to fill a certain role, you make do with replacement, i.e. using horses instead of centaurs where possible.Or centaurs instead of infantry.>Or you switch tactics entirelyDepends on what type of military you are. Do you give field commanders freedom to do things how they see fit or do you dictate from above how things have to be done, no matter what? Plenty of men have died in pointless attacks because a general somewhere didn't feel like switching tactics.
Wanted to talk about advice on GMing, settings you prefer, and styles or issues you as a GM have. I generally tend to prefer dark fantasy or sci-fi settings rather than trying something a little different. I also tend to have a style, depends on the system though, where i have a combat heavy session or two and then a more intrigue/exploration focused session. I have been working on how to better balance games I run, but trying to tie that to timing a game session gets tricky at times. Another issue I noticed is that puzzle solving or investigative games can be a lot harder for a player to get into the mindset for than the dm. It is easy to think everything you planned makes sense when you thought it out in your head but the players might not have the same line of thought.
>>97256638>Now, am I gonna want to play your own personal little homebrew "system" that you just pulled out of your ass after six months of autism? No. There are tens of thousands of game systems and most of them all have far more professional design work and playtesting than your never-been-played-before bullshit. Be realistic and exercise some humility, some self-awareness. The odds are, your personal little toy is actually just D&D or GURPS or whatever with a few house rules, so be honest about that if it's true and you'll have more interest.It's a full book that came together over the past three years. We've already done four rounds of playtesting so far and integrated player suggestions each time.It's not a modded D&D. It's not even a D20 system.
>>97218290>Another issue I noticed is that puzzle solving or investigative games can be a lot harder for a player to get into the mindset for than the dm. It is easy to think everything you planned makes sense when you thought it out in your head but the players might not have the same line of thought.Puzzles with specific solutions are stupid. Just put big-ass obstacles in the way of your players and roll with whatever zaney bullshit they invent to "solve" it. Don't even worry about having a solution planned. There's a giant impenetrable wall. See what they do. They'll go kidnap a griffon and fly, hire sappers to dig underneath, or raid an enemy army's camp to get a siege tower. Wind them up and let them go. You don't have to worry about "puzzles."
puzzle solving breaks most D&D players
>>97276278My issue is that even with an open ended basic puzzle, you get two people at the minimum arguing about how ever idea is stupid and would not work despite the dm seeming thrilled someone finally thought of the solution.
>>97283720They have been trained to expect penalties for wrong answers, whether in a game context or not: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."Instead try explicitly punishing inaction. For every minute that no one tries anything new, the situation gets worse.

What are some of your experiences with BRP or mythras? Favorite stories, characters, or supplements? I generally like running pulp or horror campaigns. Funniest story setup was how my players thwarted a small series of adventures I planned before it even started.>Players role up an old priest, a journalist, and basically fred from scooby doo. >Investigating a series of murders and disappearances. >Get captured thesmelves and wind up in a rundown factory converted to sort of look likea victorian mansion.>Meet an obvious vampire who uses them for basic company and conversation before planning to kill them.>My players escape, the frail priest manages to full nelson the vampire, and the other players manage to use a stake to kill him. It ended what I planned to be a multi session adventure in one night. It was a lot of lucky roles and ended up with being funny.
is there a notable difference between mythras and runequest glorantha outside of glorantha being tied to a world? as far as i understand it mythras is just runequest 6 and glorantha runequest 7?how do both of them compare to BRP which OP posted?
>>97280321yeah, there are a lot of small differences between runequest glorantha and mythras. RQG ican only do glorantha. It is aheavily built upon oldschool runequest. Mythras developed differently based on the two mongoos editions. Brp i find to be slightly worse. I do like brp derived systems though. Magic world is great. It is probably the best d100 system for faux dnd style fantasy along with openquest if you are into lite games.
>>97270691So how do those cons compare to BRP?
>>97280959brp is more generic and tries to simulate a lot of different genres of games. Most people dont even use it for fantasy because there is magic world as mentioned before which is a fantasy hack of brp+stormbringer.This mirrors my own personal experiences as well as i have played different stuff in brp but never a fantasy game with it
>>97280959>>97281060The initiative and action economy stuff in mythras is also better. BRP really emphasizes dex as the best stat for almost anyone because of it. Myhtras uses a combo of dex and int to determine action points or you can use the alternative of giving every pc the same amount. A lot of BRP supplements or spin offs can be hit or miss, especially form chaosium. The base game of magic world, but a lot of supplements are trying to fit stuff from other games int magic world with little alteration to make it work right.Recent chaosium supplements are notorious for being the writers thinly veiled fetish or political shitflinging.

It's been 2 weeks since I started playing sorcery with 2 booster boxes. Here are my thoughts> 1 booster box will give you 2 good decks and 1-2 mediocre at best> 2 booster boxes still only gave us 2 even better decks and 1 ok deck with high value cards> art is amazing. I'm feeling the same vibes when I played L5R ccg> multiplayer format will probably replace commander for us but the map I printed is 3mm thick and unfit for transport, on top of being huge> game has 2 flaws from being perfect> needs sleeves as picking the cards up and tokens is tricky>suffers from mid to late game card sandwich syndrome. Since all the cards need to be in a single space to bunker down yet they are in specific positions, they create an unwieldly card stack e.g.Tapped submerged unit with a ward tokenUntapped suberged unit with a stealth tokenSiteTapped avatarUntapped frog tokenuntapped minion with a tokenand so it goes. But any AoE spell in this stack results in game over so maybe its just our internal inexperienced meta that favours this late game tower of babel.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
