The anon posting the man with the red cloak and loincloth makes one particular poster very mad. This is because the red cloak guy, known as Dreaming King or DK for short, used to post crossover art with his character and others and generally would generate pics helping other anons fix or improve prompts. Especially when everyone used Bing/DALL-E he would help them generate pics with things that most people couldnt seem to get right. (Either they would be "dogged" (censored by the AI) or it just wouldnt come out good. This poster got really mad when DK would "steal" other characters and have the two OCs in the same pic, which was a bit of a feat especially with Bing and without knowing the other OCs prompt.

DK now uses Perchance instead of Bing. The anon who is complaining, doesnt like free AI generators, hates DK, and constantly complains about "low quality" and OCs being "spammed". Since Perchance has a unique resolution, Perchance pics are easy to differentiate against other pics from other AI generators.

An epic high-flying role-playing game about reborn god-heroes in a world that turned on them.
Start here:http://theonyxpath.com/category/worlds/exalted/

Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial:http://mengtzu.github.io/exalted/sakuya.html
It’ll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.

Exalted does this at literally every point. Solars coming back to get punked by a death squad because they are still too inexperienced, magic sword factories because why wouldn't you, the prayer trade, heaven being run by incompetent in middle managers. Then you get the stuff that's intentionally contrary, like epic heroes actually being part of an automated system to make them into those superheroes.

Celestial Exaltation should just be described with a new incarnation of an ancient hero instead of reincarnation, as it describes what they are better, even if an Exaltation being a magical third soul makes it a weird grey area for being a reincarnation.

Currently the most played one, uses a d20 resolution for everything, has powers building and rules for tactical combat.

Classic Supers game from the 80s, still has a lot of fans and various retro-clones. Uses a d100 with an universal resolution table to decide the degree of success, has random character generation and abstract rules for powers and combat.

>you don't get to play as the avatar and his team
You're not forbidden from doing this, but you're heavily discouraged from doing this. It literally makes someone the main character, in terms of the plot, and heavily unbalances consequences between players.
>instead you play as a random band of adventurers doing random things
You say that like it's a bad thing. But it's not quite correct. What you do is be a band of people (who are capable of fighting) who are trying to be the good guys, and you go do good guy things. What kinds of things is up to you, but it leans into Avatar's world for its setting details and history to give you a backdrop and themes to play off of. Also, you're all assumed to be youths (unless you're the Mentor playbook), and your personal mess is defined by the two opposing principles that your character values, but hasn't made up their mind about, which is very thematic for characters in Avatar.

So much this. I want to skim an 'army book' of a game Im familiar with and immediately pick up on which faction it is because they're all distinct in fun and meaningful ways. The worst games are ones where you cover names and show me stat lines and abilities and I have no clue

Apart from the rampart series and similar where it's designed to let you make yourdudes yourway with what you might have on hand of course

They should not have gotten rid of the old site. They had painted examples that weren't transferred over. They used submitted images of painted models they didn't have a 'studio paintjob' for. The forum was ancient, but it had examples of nearly every model they made, and it's all gone now. And they lost their detailed tags.
>>
>>97359404
Thats a decent idea, i think heresy has a system like that, a core force org, then your added leaders or warlord add extra flexibility to army construction. Could be a good way to add some variance. I've always wanted a bike character to unlock more slots for bikes. Still doesn't help me with the immediate issue of balancing wargear, model, and unit costs, but I'll highly consider adding that in.

>>97359022
I've never actually looked into Battletech's tonnage system, but I'd assume it's similar to a points cost where the size of your mech is X tons, and each big gun you strap on to them is Y tons, up to a Z limit or something like that.

>>97359718
I've got 9 factions with 10 units plus 1 named character for each as a start. Each faction has 3 Leaders, 2 Troops, 2 Vanguard, 2 Mobile, and 2 Support units, and I've attempted to make sure that each faction from the start can at least do everything everyone else can.

Some Factions are much better at certain game aspects than others are; The super shooty army isn't the best in melee, but has units that can still hold their own. I tried to make sure that each faction leans into their own theme, but multiple playstyles can emerge from each faction based on what you like to play.

With leaders possibly offering different force org combinations, that opens up even more potential for army variance, but I still need a points system. I might just have to bite the bullet and figure out some arbitrary way to give costs to things. That'll bump up playtesting time a whole lot longer, for sure.

In my playtest games, I've had both players start with an equal number of bases for each side, and it's worked out decently well for a "half-sized" game, the armies are mostly equivalent in power at that size of game, but I don't think it'll fly for a hyper-elite army or horde army playstyle. If both players get 50 "bases" worth of models, the custodes player will overrun the genestealer cults player every time.
>>
>>97360544
Tonnage is literally just how much the total unit weighs, and is completely worthless for balance because it only indicates what the target weight for that unit was when it was being designed, not whether it used that weight for anything practical or suitable for mech vs mech combat. Some designs are better suited to fight infantry or aircraft, and other designs are just bad both in and out of universe.
