After basecoating my army sort of an olive drab and the belts and stuff dark brown, I started highlighting them. And that gave me a harsh reminder that I have deuteranopia.

>>97348238>Endor Holocaust theorywasn't that from a parody comic originally?
>>97348252Idk, all I know is Saxton has a whole section dedicated to it in his own website, complete with the biggest level of autism you can find in this whole franchisehttps://www.theforce.net/swtc/holocaust.html
>>97348262he did see the end of the movie, right? with the force ghosts and celebration on endor's moon? where there wasn't raining debris at all???
>>97348278Dude Saxtonites don't give a shit about the films and will use any excuse to justify their retarded claims>Uhhh we only see one Executor and it was clearly intended to be special to Vader and the EU made it so only a few other existed? Yeah but like... Han says in RotJ that there are other commander ships and he doesn't seem surprised by the Executor so CLEARLY this means the Executor is actually super fucking common and the rest is EU headcanon!>The Home One is stated in various reference books to be a singular ship in the Rebel navy? But like we see other ships in the background that VAGUELY look like it so the Rebellion actually has hundreds of Home Ones and the books are just EU headcanon!>The Death Star II is stated everywhere to be 200km long and it doesn't look big? Yeah but like... in this shot where we see the Endor moon in the background, if we do autistic pixel measurement it's way bigger and one of the ILM dudes said it was like 500x bigger than the first in an interview once! So CLEARLY the 200km stuff is EU headcanon!Irony being most also hate the PT and love Disney. From what I've seen in Fractal's server all his Saxtonite pals eat up Disney+ trash like breakfast.
>>97348311Isn't the canon diameter of DS2 about 5 times that of DS1? It's a bit inconsistent since some sources state it's the same size as the original or twice as big, but IIRC the numbers that show up in most later sourcebooks have it be more than twice the diameter of the original.
What do you think of it? It's basically Fallout with furries (Kipo didn't have robots or guns).
>>97344792I mean Kevin is a well known paranoid idiot.We could of had the Terror Bears and Doctor Feral in the 2012 Ninja Turtles show.But he was afraid Paramount would steal the characters he literally can't use in any other setting except for Ninja Turtles.
>>97344918The guy who told everyone he couldn't sell TMNT books during the peak of turtlemania is a bad businessman and an egostical blowhard? No way...
>>97344792Gygax also didn't play D&D RAW
>>97340449Is 2nd ed worth getting? What's different from v1?
>>97344792>>97345274"Do as I say, not as I do" was pretty common amongst the oldhead game designers. Partly because they didn't know what they were doing either, but sitting at the head of a company moving thousands of copies of the games they wrote often gave guys like them an ego about how well they understood a still developing and growing hobby. Gygax, after burning every bridge in his life and losing everything, later recanted a bunch of his more hyperbolic statements and advice, while Uncle Kev persists in being a retard who is too retarded to know what a retard he is.
Are interspecies pairings allowed in your game?
>>97348293Okay, I thought the context was pretty clear, but you misunderstood my point.see >>97347826What I mean is nobody cared to dispute whether snake-handlers and Vodou are Christians, because nobody feels the need to defend Christianity's honor like that.But to your point - quite frankly - No, Christianity does not do a lot of purging blasphemers. As evident by the fucking mess of cults and denominations we have running around. Those times are mostly in the past.>Look. Make a thread on /pol/ so we can talk about this among like-minded people.We don't need a thread to discuss whether the Nation of Islam is related to Islam, that's ridiculous. Also don't pretend like you think a thread like that could exist on /pol/ and be even remotely on topic lmao.
>>97332011This is a hate crime.
>>97347831Sorry muzzie, but if Christians have to accept Mormons as their retarded step-headed redchild then you have to accept nation of islam as yours
>>97347850Aren't navi way less dense than humans, they are tall as fuck but probably pretty light
>>97348612The only thing I remember is that their bones are laced with "naturally-ocurring carbon fiber" as a way to counteract the square-cube law for them being so tall. So Quaritch's alien girlfriend is going to be gentle with him unlikely, or he's going to need a better health insurance policy.
Emotional support elf editionDiscuss elves.Post elves.Love elves.All elf lore, game stories art and any else that's elfy is all appreciated.Thread question: To what extent do elves share their wisdom and experience with other races to help them emotionally and psychologically?previous thread: >>97278632
>>97341174>>97341227I'll raise you male elf on female human.
>>97345740Is there a way you can kitbash them to keep them bald but take away their masks?
So, what's the best inspiration for elves for a 16th century-inspired setting? I guess I have to have to strip away the "High Fantasy" tropes and lean into 16th-century Folklore, Magic and Demonology.
>>97344965>>97344970ignore those other anons. they are simply to weak to behold the raw power of Fel infused Vengeance
>>97347530We're too strong to tolerate useless off-topic spam
>>97343159For the counterfactuals. Where the history and mythology does not exist. And the rules must have clear descriptions separating game functions.How, exactly, do you write rules for a Wizard doing the rather common COUNTERSPELLS under this prescribed meaning of "magic" that flagrantly ignores words being capable of having outright contradictory meanings? Because that game function strictly requires spells be a distinct thing that can be countered, in turn strictly requiring that they be put in a box away from all the non-spell game functions.
>>97304453tru tru
>>97333433Yes, but nobody considers wizards builders of walls or cities.
>>97346294People thought Roman constructions were the stuff of wizardry. Similar to those advanced Greek devices.
>>97346303Yeah well they were just stupid okay
We're going to have to come up with a phrase for the new era of Warhammer 40,000 ushered in by the Amazon TV show, DoW 4 and Total War 40k, and increased market value of Games Workshop.nu40k isn't going to cover it. nu40k is already bad enough for many of us from headier days like 1st through 4th edition. You are going to see horrific debasements to the thing you know and love that you will still see with your eyes closed. Every 80 IQ person with internet access will have an opinion on Warhammer without knowing what a Tau Remora Drone is.
Season 1 will be Cavill as Titus or whatever, who will do something really cool in the first few episodes then have something happen that incapacitates/takes him away from the plot, then season 2 is going to be Game of Thrones in space with an ensemble of multiracial characters that all are supposed to come from the same planet with thousands of years of sleeping with eachother (No dont think about the segregation/racism implications that would cause this) will faff about for half a season with Cavill coming back at the end of the second season only to nominate a woman as his stand in. Season 3 will be girl boss time. There will be no season 4 due to lack of interest
>>97348007This is mistaken because it relies on the creators of the adaption being better than the original guys, which is becoming highly unlikely. There's a few "yeah it's pretty good too" but the chances of anyone in the industry being better than the guys who made the original things I like is vanishing fast. And also them having the freedom to make things in a functional way and not constantly hobbled and cut down by the powers that be. Not happening, there's too much money involved for these things to be good.
>>97346138The only good Fallout games are trimetric CRPGs bro, that's just a fact>>97346339>40k still has very large, active and alive communities that are going to get flooded>game secondaries from Total War or DoW4 often do try to stick aroundAfter the lack of any sustained interest generated by Space Marine 2 (a game which apparently pulled 2 million players at launch), I'm not convinced that's true anymore. It was hit-or-miss between 2015-2020, but since around 2020 that atomising impact of the Internet on the media landscape has accelerated to such a degree that these responses just aren't sustained
>>97348618Fallout 1 is not that good. Fallout 2 fixes some things but wasnt built upon.
>>97348629>Fallout 1 is not that goodFallout 1 is a very lean and tightly focussed package which manages to do everything it sets out to do well

>>97344088Trying to find a good building synergy every run gives it some good staying power. It also has some personality to it with the theming which makes it stand out from other abstracter games. Some more buildings wouldn't hurt but alledgedly an expansion for it is in the works. If your friend would enjoy light engine building with pulpy robot murder I'd say go for it.
We were missing quite a few folks tonight and ended up playing The King is Dead a few times. I had such a great time when we got into the groove. I saw one of them going for an Invasion victory about midway through and called them out as a French spy. We had some laughs, and the French did indeed invade. Feels good to game.
>>97347445>Trying to find a good building synergy every run gives it some good staying power.How many times have you played it?
>>97347141>>97347141That sounds like every euro, anon.
>>97348624It's good that you know.
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?
>>97344461Much I loved Tomb Raider porn, I'd have to go with UU for the cool fantasy atmosphere.
>199X>TextNah dude thats a voicemail. Texting would be tedious.
>>97347722Yeah I don't think OP understands just how far technology progressed from Nintendo and Ultima in 1990 to Final Fantasy 7 in 3d on the playstation in 1997. Video games were completely revolutionized at least twice, in that span of itme.But the correct answer is Dungeon Hack and the last time I played it was this weekend.
>>97348599>nooo, vidya advanced light years in just a few years, why do you choose old shit>still chooses old shit as own exampleI suspect OP understands the issue and that it was partly the point.
>>97348620I like the old shit. It's good. Not sure what your greentext is supposed to imply, but good luck with it?
>>97340581Fucking liar. The price of gas is up nationally 1 quid.
>>97346305We don't price our gas in "Latin for something." I mean, do you hear us go to London and say "Oi mate, that petrol set me back five more hwathwugus than yesterday"
>>97346305Sounds like something you should take up with Keir.
>>97346305>quidWe arent talking about Keir's Britain.
>>97346305You won't need to pay for petrol, mate, your transit permit doesn't authorize you to leave your residential zone.
>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.
If a humcan PC is riding a centaur PC and they dismount, do you charge the human half of their movement speed for the dismount? I was thinking about offering up some feat that allowed the rider to retain their movement after dismounting for some interesting movement mechanics. 40 feet + an additional 30 from the human rider. Some folks were saying the idea of having a human and a centaur fighting while the human was on their back might be a little broken (two-player instances occupying the same space, I can see being a problem). Maybe make it so only the human or the centaur can attack per turn if the human is riding them? This would mean the player has to dismount the centaur to get their own battle action per turn.
>>97344760like the ornamentation on the tail
>>97276299Reminder to keep the human and horse half appropriately proportioned.
>>97344760Looks great, like a coping Grecian's feverdream about dealing with Scythians.
>>97348360Thanks, it's like a big amalgamation of those early iron age iranic and turkic elements, bitches love their gold and harness

>>97345119The suggestion is that you can't work with the failure of your player as a GM. But I think there are plenty of ways to deal with it. I'll keep to dnd vocabulary:Study and practice costs money for reagents and inks and shit. You also need downtime because you use spell slots on the appropriate level when practicing. Some spells require rare reagents / materials to learn that will take some adventuring to obtain.You need to find information on the spell, or have instruction from one who mastered it to attempt it. Experimentation without information or instruction will be more costly in time and reagents, and have a higher chance of failure. You can't attempt to learn a spell without information or instruction unless you have seen it being cast, or you can realistically argue that two or more spells you already know should give you enough insight to start the process. In general, given the risks involved, populated areas don't take kindly to magical teachings and experimentation within their communities. Depending on local laws and customs you might face fines, exile, mob justice, the stink eye, theft/espionage from competitors, general displeasure, whatever. This is part of why wizard towers are a thing.Failure to learn the spell can result in backfired spells. You might:>take some damage>turn yourself into a newt for 1d4 days>block your chakras causing you to lose access to 2 spell slots of the level of the spell> literally blow your hand off>cause you to become "wild magicked" for 1d4 weeks>a thundercloud follows you constantly inside and outside causing you to be soaked and take 1d4 lightning damage every 2 hours until dispelled>you create a rift and 1d6 void imps enter and attack youComment too long.

>>97345207You're just a shit ass GM, if you call for a roll you should at least have 2 possible outcomes that you're interrogating the dice for, if you can only think of one there's no need to ask the dice for anything, just narrate the whole thing as an introduction to the actual scenario.>inb4 muh illusionism and misdirection to trick the playersThat shit may work if you're quick witted enough and your players drooling retards, from op story it was well apparent the GM was caught off-guard.
>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year.
