>You all meet in the tavern of an isolated village. It's seven in the morning, and everyone is having their breakfast.>You see in the corner a young man in studded leather chatting animatedly with an older woman in heavy armor.>A young woman lets out a cheer as she beats a man of the same age in an arm wrestle. He wears a suit of gleaming gothic half-plate, while she wears a hauberk and gambeson. After the contest has ended, the pair enjoy a hearty meal of turkey and maize together.>An old man wearing a ragged cloak over equally ragged clothes nurses a cooling cup of coffee while watching their antics, stirring in a spoonful of sugar after an exploratory taste.>A woman sat on a stool by the bar takes in one last drag of her cigarette before she stubs it out in an ashtray. With that out of the way, she tucks into a pumpkin pie that is waiting for her.>A man with dark skin pays for his meal with several unfamiliar coins, before brushing past you on his way out the door. He wears a vest made of soft leather over a loose cotton shirt, and has a long sword in a sheath strapped to his back, ready to be drawn at any moment.>A young girl greets you animatedly and offers you menus. She asks if any of you were interested in buying some of the potato and rabbit stew that is currently cooking, or if you'd like rooms for the night.

>>97276113>70 years old italian-american Vietnam war veteran turned vigilante Delta Green (cowboy era) operativeHe'll be very depressed and full of sorrow as always and order a coffee. Noticing that he's allowed to smoke in this place, he's going to consume half a pack of Lucky Strike in two hours, grumbling against "faggot democrats" all the time. If she is hot, the smoking woman will remind him of his dead wife and will spend the morning staring longingly at her. If there's a counterpart of the Soviet Union or communism in this universe he finds himself in, he's probably trying to beat the shit out (or even outright kill) "those filthy reds", and the only justification he will give to the guards will be "I fuckin' hate them."
>>97276113I order a mocha latte and a McDonalds Royal, then wander over to the juke box, tap it with my phone app and pick out the latest Alex Warren hit for it to play. God, I love this sort of historical fantasy setting, it's just like being in another world altogether!.

Why do "modern" and modern people go insane when they see some eldritch blorblo, but Conan could just kill it without going "aaaaaahhh save me niggerman!!!!!"
>>97283170Solomon Kane fights a Shoggoth in The Footfalls Within, and I'm pretty sure conan fights a Lovecraft-esque old one in The Slithering Shadow
>>97285734>how fucking dare you reply to my shitpost with a shitpost! you're so precious. also thanks for proving my point.
>>97281870because people in the old times actually believed in the stories about monsters and demons so when they inevitably appear they weren't taken aback by the existence of such creatures.meanwhile, us modern folk have been brought up with the notion that science and logic disallows the supernatural. As a result, when the supernatural happens our very worldview shatters to pieces along with our sanity.
>>97285715People legitimately don't get Lovecraft. It isn't being afraid of a fish or that you don't matter, it's the fear of finding out you're on a ticking time bomb, you don't know how long's left on the timer, and you cannot get away, ever.
Insanity in Lovecraft stories is usually more like ptsd hopelessness, paranoia or overwhelming dread, not becoming a babbling schizo like the people who "adapt" his works without reading them seem to think.
I've spent the last year, studying, and designing a custom Arthurian set, originally intended to be based on Le Morte d'Arthur (like how P3k was based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms). However, as I continued to study, and look into different (and some obscure sources) this turned into a much more wider net. This set, which is no where near finished includes>Welsh Triads and The Magnibong>Pre-Vulgate Arthur traditions>Vulgate/Post Vulgate/Lancelot cycles>some English/Welsh fairy tales>and even a bit of the Victorian Arthurian revival (especially for art). I avoided the Italian and German romances entirely, and tried not to include weird outliners except when needed. Outside of art, nothing is sourced from the 20th century or onward. Also all art is public domain. I'm mainly posting here for feedback. Some will be art recommendations, flavor text (especially sourced) will be always welcomed.Comment too long.

>>97285864>I think spooderman did?Nah it just had heaps of legendaries. All UB sets do. The set mechanics were connive, modification, bounce-own-creatures, discard and Spider tribal.
>>97285751The 'Joins up' cycle had it, but it was a minor thing, it's true.
nice set OP, however there’s an issue.where’s the diversity?
Dude, you could at least learn how to word cards correctly before making an entire goddamn set of them.Every single card I've looked at so far has at least one mistake, from outdated terms to abilities that outright don't function the way you're intending them to.

"Innocent girl gets used as a weapon" is actually inspired by the original Mobile Suit Gundam, specifically Lalah Sune, a young sex worker that was groomed by Char and Zeon to be a psychic super-soldier. Her close emotional connection with Amuro, the protagonist, and her tragic death at his hands made her something of a hit with the melodramatic audiences of that era.And we've been plagued with magic space psychic girls since.
>>97281054>Realistically what would life in a world of superheroes where your ability is defined by your bloodline be like?Well, for a start, bloodline powers means secret identities do fuck all unless your entire family tree keeps that shit secret, so masks are out.Also means supervillains would be pretty rare for the same reason. You aren't gonna have people start trying to crime when their powers are basically a fingerprint unless they're immediately willing to live on the run. There's a difference between running after you get caught and running in the first place and people willing to do A aren't necessarily going to be willing to do B.

Redneck EditionDiscuss and post elves. Elf lore, gameplay, and art are all appreciated.QOTT: Which artists do you think drew the best elves?
Posting the logo so others can easily use it
>>97285703I don't see what you are trying to prove by posting battletech stuff in a discussion about space elves and elegant designs. Nothing in battletech has any actual elegance or grace in their aesthetics. They look like industrial warmachines, with boxy greebling and armor plating. If you want an actually elegant looking mechs look at stuff from Zone of the Enders as example.To me, such designs, like the Eldar designs in general or the Eva units in Evangellion read as elegant because they are organic, flowy forms that resemble closer moving statues with articulated limbs and elements of ornamentalization as opposed to the boxy mil scifi look bt mechs have.
>>97284816ONE. DROP. RULE.
>>97285764I disagree. The Dark Eldar look far sleeker and built for actual purpose as well as intimidation especially when it comes to the Kabal aesthetics, whereas Dark Elf looks tend to veer far too much into the edgy for edginess sake blades, spikes and capes etc everywhere. That is kind of my issue with the Fantasy high elf aesthetic as well, with their feather and bird motifs, winged helmets and what not. They both just read as too much to me whereas the Eldar keep the general form of tall helmets, and smooth shapes for the Craftworlders, and harder edges and sharp shapes for the Dark Eldar but make both sleeker and more sensible to look at.Basically, the fantasy elves look too busy/overdesigned to me in terms of their aesthetics, whereas the Eldar keep the good elements of the design language from their fantasy counterparts and refine it into a sleeker and more elegant form.
>>97285944While I like warhammer elves more than 40k eldar, I can't really objectively disagree with your points.Opinion tolerated.
What are some fantasy and sci-fi movies you should watch to inspire your games and players?
>>97285294In my opinion, the various sequels lack the polish, charm and tight pacing of the original, so I would not recommend them.

>>97285413In an ideal world there wouldn't be such a ludicrous markup on sleeves especially now that the hobby is filled with nogamers because I too would love to get stupid funny sleeves and also have random themed binders. The idea of paying for an inner and outer sleeve at current prices is comical. But at the same time the faggitry in here today claiming that penny sleeves don't work is all I need to know that the average age is quite low considering it was all we had when tcgs were sport cards' little brotherDecades ago I would add random stupid ass anime show sleeves to my import order for other crap because it was like a buck for a 100 pack. And I would have a bunch of random binders that were the home for games I couldn't find players but it was pre internet so you would just look at the art and back then it was 5 packs for 10 bucks so it was just an easy splurge
>>97285517My brother's married and he comes over to learn games (usually at starter deck levels) to this day, but he's just so low commitment we never get to see real constructed battles of anything. I admire the fact he's a good sport about learning whatever game I'm playing though. Some things never change, eh? Do I play that game anymore? No, but I thought about surprising my brother with a new star trek deck and trying to get him back into it. The game plays really well, I can't remember what the flaws were because it's been decades since that story time. Maybe one day I'll build two really good construction decks and we'll have a go, for old time's sake. Presently he's the same bro that bought me Gothic starters for the holidays, so I'll be teaching him that next. He's in for a real treat with that one, I reckon. The Doom decks have some nice teeth to em, unlike the older ones. As for DOA BVB, we use to legitimately play it for the mechanics. When my Bro first rented it from Block Buster me and my freind pulled an all nighter taking turns with him, playing the mini games and getting some sick volleys in. Great times. Miss the simpler days, as I'm sure others can relate.
>>97285599That's cool that he still comes over and plays on occasion, even if it's just with starters. Life can really get in the way when we get older (I turned 40 yesterday, which just feels weird), and I'm thankful that my friends and I can still find time for our hobby on occasion.We might try Sorcery at some point if any of our LGS decide to stock it. The real issue is finding time. We have so many fun games we have decks for already, and a handful that we haven't even learned to play yet.I hope you and your brother have fun with Sorcery! Sounds like he found a great gift for the two of you to share.>Miss the simpler days, as I'm sure others can relate.Without a doubt.
>>97285674First off, happy birthday. Hell of a date. I'm years off from turning 40, but it's nearer than I want to admit.>The real issue is finding time.That's the biggest game killer of all, making schedules and locations line up perfectly so game jams can commence. I pine for the days of having a whole weekend just for gaming, but with how busy things can get, especially during the holidays, it's easy to have that game jam get pushed back months at a time. What's important is keeping at it, and not letting the dust settle so hard it just kills your drive to try new things.
>>97285733>First off, happy birthday. Hell of a date.Thank you. And yeah, the date certainly made for some interesting birthday parties in my youth.It's definitely a challenge sometimes to get together, but if we plan well enough in advance it usually works. We just have to put in a bit of effort and enjoy it when the opportunities arise. It's nice that we have the internet to connect us, but nothing beats getting together in person, even when it's not as often as we'd like.

I told ya i'd return in the new year. I won't be as present as i'd like later this month due to some work training that will require some major attention, but let me know if you have trouble accessing anything, and please look over the existing codex and rules docs for any changes needed.
