Are there any examples of settings described from exotic POVs, like dragons, gods or other ancient powerful creatures instead of human-like races?

>>97221769>>97220083>>97165495I've come to realize the follow of thinking in terms of the single element. Especially for myself where I am going for a more sci-fi/fantasy bent where the Humans have to utilize a more sciency approach to what little magic they can use which is all based around fire/heat since Humans have a natural affinity for.Magic powered jets to blast high pressure wind and debris, super heated jets of steam to broil enemies, laser guided lightning strikes, metallic bits launched with crushing force with magnetic force.
Why yes, my sci-fi setting does have horseback cavalry with laser rifles

>>97225211Thankfully, Specialists don't have blanket trading post access, and the Tek-Hunter gear list is somewhat more limited than the regular Van Saar specialist one, so you're not getting nine dudes with plasma guns off the bat, thankfully.
>>97226994They aren't Gangers that promoted to Specialists, their profile is just Specialist from the start. And that profile includes being able to get weapons from the TP with no restrictions on weapon class. So sure you won't have 8 Plasma Guns at gang creation, but you could give all of them whatever Special/Heavy weapons you can afford from the TP from the first visit. On top of that they also have the VS Tech skills as Secondary. All this for just 10 creds more than a standard VS Ganger. Their roster entry is ridiculous.
>>97222879Yes I find them very charming as well, the lotr movies got me into the hobby to begin with so they will always be special to me.

As always thank you for your work in these trying times Net0. I hope your whale hunting has been going well? I'm going to try to see if I can finish my book nearish to the end of the week in time for my initiation. Should be nice to be in Europe again, though Normandy isn't fully my favorite.

>>97223997Okay fine, pedantic Anon, if the scene with Theoden wasn't flashy then how about before then when he reappears to Aragorn & co in Fangorn, first revealing himself as a near blinding source of light? Is that flashy enough? I'm not sure because fighting a huge demon monster isn't enough for you.
>>97226413Again it was a big light. Turning Aragons sword red hot was more magical imo. The flashiest thing the wizards do in the movies is Sauruman casting fireball but that got cut. My favorite thing Gandalf does in the entire series is throwing a bomb at the goblins in the Hobbit

>>97179249Do we really need anything more than that? Most people are going to use either the Gold Box, From the Ashes, or The Adventure Begins Gazeteers for Greyhawk anyway, completely throwing out the 5.5e blurb.Greyhawk isn't like other settings. It's canon outside of official sources like the gazetteers, modules, or novels is meant to be purely homebrewed. If you want any further canon, check places like canonfire as other Anons said, the lore is mainly community made.Or you could just make shit up as you go along at your table.It's meant to be a worldbuilding framework. Worldbuilding on training wheels if you will, Gary didn't even want to publish it as a setting, he wanted people to make up their own. Which is kind of what every GM that plays in Greyhawk does.I had a friend ask me today if Greyhawk was a grimdark setting. Now, at my table it's not, I prefer the nobledark approach, but there's no doubt someone who plays a grimdark Greyhawk in the From The Ashes era.
Why did 5.5e drop the ball so hard? Everyone I know who likes 5e is staying with 5.0e. And more than a few of them have moved to 3.5, OSR, or other games entirely.Is WOTC just stupid?

The relatively low sales of modules and setting-specific material is clear supporting evidence for my position that TTRPG player retention is troublesome because it causes them to ignore new products in favor of continuing their current campaigns.>>97226873>Now we're at the "IT WAS JUST LUCK, ANYBODY COULD HAVE DONE IT!" phase of denial.Comment too long.

You'll cry when you google this and realize I'm 100% right again and reality still doesn't align with your delusions. >GURPS never top-fi-Doesn't matter, you said discourse is what you're using as a measurement. GURPS has had persistent discourse since 4th came out, which was before 3.5e. It is therefore the most successful ttrpg ever according to you.Wanna try shifting the goalposts again?
>>97226949>Anyways the burden of proof is on you, not me."3.5 is a garbage failure and 5e is the best system ever" is an extraordinary claim you have offered very little and poor evidence for, so the primary burden rests on you.>tl;dr "I am a nogames but I want to pretend my opinions matter"The point is literally that my personal opinion means little, and thus I focus on what I see from others.>Which is why WOTC dropped it 5 years in and put up a new... Oh they didn't?Because the total of users kept rolling.>They just keep printing new modules and making bank through insane player retention?No, modules and setting-specific material sales pale in comparison to setting-agnostic supplements, and the core rulebooks remaining strong "evergreen" sales only occurs when you have an ongoing intake of users that would only reflect retention if supplements continue growing considerably.>>97226969>>IT WAS LUCKY!

Reposting this because these threads need talk about games. Something I can think of that you could justify tracking torches (how many you have and how long they last) would be something like what you see in Alone in the Dark: Illumination https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLogNWdLsq4 [Embed] The game itself is clearly crap but the idea of foes being weaken by light stuck with me since hearing about his game. I would make the area windy or have a torrent downpour so the torches last only for a very short time and because they have so few torches the player would have to pick how and when they fight. This would only be in one or two area as gimmick stuff only really works if done very rarely.>>97226981Never said you were a troll, dong poker. I see you as being retarded.
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, fishfag?
Why is it called Age of Sigmar anyway? It'd be like calling the Victorian Age the Hawaiian Age or something. Sigmar is the weakest god in the setting and his faction is almost entirely irrelevant. If anything it's the Age of Nagash ft. Stormcasts with special guest appearances by Elves and Chaos. Sigmar barely even features in anything at all aside from short stories with black stormcast protags of ambiguous gender talking about how pathetic he is and how much they hate working for him.
>>97227007Ask the general, the place filled with lots of people who would know, the kind of place that exists to trap these inane faggot threads.
>>97227007Brand recognition to hook in ex-WFB players. Age of Chaos would be too generic, Age of Nagash would be less recognizable since Sigmar's a way better known character. Warhammer: Stormcast probably would've worked but again brand recognition.
Nagash is a cool guy
if siggy diggy was relevant it would ruin the woke ritual humiliation the game's story is supposed to be

Hey /tg/ I'm playtesting an initiative system that's been tried before in other systems and is detailed nicely on "Tabletop Curiosity Cabinet"The system uses Meyer (and Kieth Farrell's modern adaptation) of "Vor, Nach, Gleich, Indes" as steps in a fight.Basically, the player with the initiative chooses an action ("Vor"). The enemy chooses a reponse ("Nach"). The dice are rolled to determine an outcome ("Gleich") and the movement into the next state ("Indes").Practically it looks like: Player A chooses a bind. Player B chooses to parry. Both players resolve a dice roll. The resolution will determine who has initiative for the next system.Very fencing-like, and makes initiative more of a "push-pull" based on success rather than a "you-go, I-go" traditional style.I believe systems like TRoS and their derivatives (like Song of Swords) use a similar sort of initiative style.My questions for the thread:1. While this system works pretty well for individual combats, it struggles when there are multiple combatants. It also falls into the same trap of "you go, I go" which is; in a real fight, you're probably waiting for an opening (e.g. an enemy attacking an ally) to take advantage of in order to strike. I wonder if anyone has creative solutions to this problem?2. Are there initiative systems that you find work well? Anyone forego initiative entirely in favor of fully narrative initiative (e.g. Daggerheart)?
>>97221759I truly am. I suppose it mimics what occasionally happens in fencing. Making decisions anticipating an outcome rather than brute force reaction.
>>97197145>2. Are there initiative systems that you find work well?7th Sea 1st edition.Round is divided into 10 phases.You roll a number of d10 equal to your Panache (2-6) and whatever you rolled shows in which phases you act. You can have more than one action per phase. Whenever you expend an action a die with that number rolled is removed from your initiative pool. If multiple characters have actions in the same phase the first to act would be the one with higher sum of initiative dice still on the table.For example Character rolls 2, 3, 8 (Panache 3) while a Pirate rolls 3,9 (Panache 2). Character expends action in phase 2 to throw a bunch of Brutes overboard the ship. In phase 3 both Character and Henchmen have an action, but since Character expended his phase 2 die his initiative total is 11 instead of 13 and thus Henchmen would act first. It may seem convoluted at first, but after you get accustomed to it its fucking perfect for swashbuckling adventures that 7th Sea is made for.
>>97224032No this genuinely seems so fun. Does this result in simultaneous actions?
>>97223429>“Occasionally”Dice rolls that are equal or within 1 number of each result in a double where both attacks get through
>>97225574Technically - no, You can play it like this, but there are ways of resolving who acts first within a phase. Though you also can spend 2 initiative dice to do interrupts.
