I've got some sci-fi buildings and scatter terrain I want to finally get painted, anyone have any tips?

So my DND group was kind of disolving, 2 out of the 4 players left because of life issues (one got a job abroad and the other one is dealing with life), to keep playing we incorporated 2 new players with not so much experience but avid watchers of Critical Role.One of these player conditions was that we incorporate x cards to the game, she says that it makes it much more comfortable for her to know she can avoid unpleasant story elements having this tool. I started to read a bit about it online and is this something you guys have used? In my 20 years playing I've never used this.

>>97363372>>97363378The mistake was not vetting people who get to sit at your table, the only people at mine are those i know and get along with and know others at my table get along with. I never had to use X cards because of that.>>97363508It's just used by bad faith actors who want to co-opt other people's table where everyone else is having fun. If the only person who isn't getting along and having fun is you well the problem might be you not the other people.
Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere. Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency. If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help: >n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0 >Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128 >Need a starter dungeon?

>>97391501>God I hate the fishfag and Ive only been following OSRG for 2 thread.If you think he's bad now, you should have seen some time ago, when for one or two years for some unknown reason all of his trolling comments would be left up, while every comment talking negatively about AD&D 2e and even most infographics about O/A/B/X/D&D would be deleted on sight. At some point, even the newbie guides were being deleted, after being left up untouched for over a year. Looking back at that period of time, it's kinda glorious that we made it through.
>>97392109Sounds good.Addendum: I've never used encumbrance rules before, but I think I'm going to in my newly-resurrected game, so my players have more decisions to make. Thoughts on Carcass Crawler's item encumbrance? It makes more intuitive sense to me, but I don't really like the "3 items max for an 18 str guy...
>>97393556and from the character sheet
>>97393556>Thoughts on Carcass Crawler's item encumbrance?I don't think they're the best, but they're okay. What matters however is that you do use some form of encumbrance rules. Whatever works at your table is fine.

>>97393159 i rly like it anon
>>97393885I think it's fine without cacti, the ground looks like some places near where I am in Australia (so no cacti). I think you should define a path or creek running through the middle of the larger base, that little channel in the middle looks perfect for something like that. It would help break up the solid orange colour and provide some visual interest.
Which jump base high should I choose for my Harlequin Voidweaver… 4cm or 4.1cm?
>>97393931whichever u liked more
>>97393931post pics of both with the voidweaver so we can get a better look at it. Either that or stick both in your urethra and pick the one that feels the best.

Is it even worth trying something like Roll20 online (with mic), or is online play kind of cumbersome? I'm a recluse and struggle socially, so I can only fathom comfortably roleplaying online. I've never played in-person, but it's just not in my comfort zone.
>>97391784>Ice Slick>SnowshoesI really like that combination.It's weaker than grease since it doesn't have a DC that scales like a normal spell, instead it uses the rules for slippery surfaces and uneven footing (Balance check vs Reflex save), IIRC, which can be better or worse depending on what you are fighting, but it's still pretty damn good.I think it also enables stuff like HIbernal Healing, which is pretty great, specially for a Druid.
>>97393752I play online using Roll 20 for the map, Gsheet for the character sheet, and Discord for rolling, using custom commands (made a Crusader macro), voice chat, and recording information on different channels.I only know one guy from this group IRL too.Some of the players have their character sheets inside roll 20, so they just click a spell and the attack rolls and damage rolls are all made automatically.I dislike that because it takes away some of the flexibility from hand rolling my own sharacter sheet in gsheet but it works pretty well otherwise, a lot of stuff is pre calculated as you fill it out.So yeah, it can get a little slot at the begining but after the first session it's not cumbersome at all in my opinion.
It's pic related. Peter Jackson tried to copy Blix's swag for a good reason
>>97391917This is the original
>>97290361Love Peter Jackson portrayal, although I think he goes a little to heavy on the armor at times. Dragon's Dogma had a nice interpretation of them, clearly visually inspired by LotR films.>>97328676>>97372937WoD's portrayal of the old Orcs was fun, but also demonstrates one of the problems with changing Orcs from a classic monster race to one that's capable of making moral choices. Cause if you do that an then try to keep all the fun barbarian raider orc tropes, you end up with something far far more problematic than just sticking to the classic always evil monsters. So yeah, kind of fun, but Orcs have been a mess since, I dunno, TBC.
>>97391963these artists really aren't beating the "pushed this trend to normalize jew women" allegations when its this blatant.
>>97294766This looks like Marilyn Manson with a rubber nose and ears
You guys have pretty shit taste overall.
Should an elven wizard be more powerful on average than a human one? Explain your answer.
>>97391066>>97391461samefag
>>97360722There have been a few systems where Elves grow slow physically. Hell in my setting that done to a few races. Orcs and Goblins grow up quickly where Elves and Dwarves grow up slowly.
>>97390299Now you're getting it
>>97392498Delusional.
>>97356991In Muh Setting I have a race that are kind of the reverse of fantasy elves in some ways. They are biologically perpetual (not the only ones who are) while also being aggressive and risk-tolerant. While they're not meant to be orc-esque or savage in how they conduct themselves with these traits, it does mean that they tend to get killed by circumstance before they benefit from that lifespan. That being said, the ones that do choose the path of a violent life and make it over a century or more in age are some of the most fearsome opponents on the planet, but at the same time the average lifespan for even the normal ones is about 150.

>>97350517Absolutely nothing, nothing at all. The entire thing is just a random failed artist with a thing for gore and religious aesthetics, trying to justify his indulgence and get paid for it.None of it makes sense and none of it has to, because tasteless retards keep throwing money at a one trick hack with a hobby.The setting is to justify the game, which is to justify the models, which is to justify the art, which is to justify the artist's creative masturbation.
So have all the kickstarter backers recieved their stuff yet? Or are the devs too focused on speed running being just as bad as GeeDubs?

>>97319328This card has 2 effects, as seen on this table: >>97362543Effect 1:"Increase the Equilibrium of your Manifest Structures by the number of Manifest Structures."Column (fibonacci index) 5, "stat or" (G8), with a converted fibonacci value of 13.This is purely an Earth element effect (only operating on Structures (Earth)).

Why do you keep bumping, OP? It's clear there's no interest here for this shit.
OP, give up! You'll never prove a single person has played this game!

>>97393261>the game was agonizingly slow and exhaustingthis keeps me from playing heavier games, AP + player count starts multiplying downtime like crazy
>>97391584>TQ:>What game did you expect to hate, but ended up really liking it?TfM - played it late, thought it would be like Ark nova. The map part is pretty boring but I love the massive amount of cards and just building the engine up. It's sort of a calming game for me, where I just build my engine in peaceFor sale - old, boring filler game. Besides it's betting which I'm not a fan of. Turns out it's great, all time goat. Love it.Dominant species - people said it's long and mean. Hard to get things done and others ruin your plans etc.. One of my favorites. It's not that mean imo, st least it doesn't feel that way to me, maybe because of the theme. The domination calculation is simple math, no problems. It's longer since it's also best with more players but it doesn't feel long.>What game did you expect to love, but endet up hating it?Ark nova - animals, lot's of cards, heavy, everyone in the group loved it. It's not that interesting, slow cycling through the cards. Even more solo than TfM but with no engine building fun. Spirit island - everyone loved it, heavy coop with asymetry. Maybe because it's coop but it's very boring. Like pandemic, enemy spreads and you play a couple of cards to contain them. The cards are also not that exciting.
>>97391673I don't see how anyone can say this game looks good yet it gets praised for it.
>>97393711The average brain is so fried they need extreme stimulation to register anything. Shit, we were talking about radlands still yesterday.
>>97393261>>97393597I don't mind it all that much, but it depends on what kind of downtime.This all opens a very interesting topic relevant to disagreements in game evaluation, "How do you approach [game]?". Like in the example, if you play Agricola Gaia Project just from your gut, you'll have a bad time. Similarly, if you overanalyze and try to strategize Diamant or Resistance, you'll have a tedious and frustrating game. That is not exclusive to weight, I'd argue Ra gets worse when you math out probabilities and Chinatown sucks if you go deeper than only roughly crunching the numbers before taking a deal.And it's hard to approach a game you've tried and found shit once again from a different angle. Time is too precious for most of us.Very interesting topic
What does your character do during adventure downtime? Do they have a side job or something?
