There seems to be two types of wizards:>Slovenly eccentric geniuses>Strict organized perfectionistsI think this is because you have to be highly intelligent to become a wizard.

Is there any way I can incorporate my fetish in my fantasy world without it becoming a magical realm?

Should an elven wizard be more powerful on average than a human one? Explain your answer.
>>97364652Yeah really.
>>97357409Magic is learning spells until you can cast them without making mistakes. More times means more spells learned to a reliable degree. And if innate wizardly power can increase, like a muscle, then that would lead to elves being better wizards on average. The only thing that could feasibly hold them back would be if their magic has devolved into being purely for show, with few practical applications, like some martial arts.
>>97364746If that were the case, I would expect a lot more elf mages to be specialist casters since the older you get the more you lean into ingrained habits due to relying on tricks like muscle memory and rote memorization, as well as many more elven wizards to have magic related injuries due to how pushing your body to its limits tends to give you far more wear and tear issues
In my setting, Elves age at the same rate as the other races, while still being immortal, they just all fuck off to other places in search of power and glory once they hit a certain age. If can Elf can engage in interdimensional travel, they WILL fuck off to go do realpolitik in one of the various Elven Strongholds across the Multiverse. The only Elves in the Mortal Plane are the very young, and a few odd Exiles that are sent to live in the Mortal Plane as punishment, serving Penitence for this or that reason by taking charge of the Stewardship and Education of young Elves.Rather than being cautious, in order to protect their long lives, Elves in my setting are foolhardy, because they have an almost infinite amount of time to rest and heal from there wounds. If an Elf Swordsman loses a limb, he mostly suffers a loss of face and social standing; he can just take a few decades to study magic until he regenerate that limb, and than go back to practice his Swordsmanship. And basically every Elf has mastered some form of skilled trade, so they can earn a living while healing from dangerous work.For this reason, most other Races and Cultures hate Elves, but actually stamping them out would be difficult, because at any one time, there are like a half-dozen Elf Wizards hanging around that will just Black Hole any army that tries to engage in any meaningful Elf genocide.
>>97364609Would they even be fair to be playable at that point?
New year new me edition>Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk RED?Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that focuses on simulation gameplay and has a black trenchcoat aesthetic.Cyberpunk RED is the fourth edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that is set after Cyberpunk 2020 following the Fourth Corporate War, focuses on more balanced gameplay and is more streamlined but has less content.You can discuss Shadowrun here too because I also feel bad for those guys.>Cyberpunk Rulesets (The Vault) (May not have all updated rulebooks, check official sources for updates):bit<dot>ly/2Y1w4Md>Resources for RED:https://datapool2045.net/Comment too long.

>>97349774>Which might be hard to get since they have a "fuck corporations" mentality.I have my players look at a fellow NPC being richer than them because she took Edgerunners Inc jobs and they still go "fuck corps" despite them being dirt poor.
>>97364040Yeah, the big problem I'm having with CP Red is that the very little we get about night city is incredibly inconsistent and a lot of it feels like a theme park or Vegas version of cyberpunk. I really wish I'd offered to run Shadowrun instead...
>>97364156>Shadowrunnever played it but didnt it crash and burn recently? I heard that only the german version is the only one that makes the new edition remotely playable
>>97290472Mike and Talsorian probably wouldn't do this nowadays because it would be too controversial in the light of recent events. But i'm curious as to how Israel is doing in 2077, canonically they're one of the only nations that survived the Middle East Meltdown because they had a Ronald Reagan Star Wars laser defense grid. Yes. Jewish Space Lasers are really a thing in Cyberpunk.
>>97364040That's just what happens when an IP stops being niche and becomes mainstream, all the edgy stuff has to be filed off for maximum appeal to the dumb masses and the politically correct moral busybodies. Happened to Star Wars, happened to Warhammer, it'll happen to Cyberpunk eventually. Thankfully Mikes still alive to make sure the setting at least keeps some of it's original edge. Though he probably only has about eight or ten years left in him since he's in his seventies now.
What's your theory for why all the talent is leaving Leder Games?What’s your worst/best board game break up story?

>>97365276I put a heart and a star in my post but 4chan didn't recognize them.Does anyone know the difference between bullet heart and bullet star?
>>97364850It's group dependent, but it can lead to some amazing moments. I am a TI-truther and will always say it's a great game. Our last session, 3 months ago, was probably the worst time I've ever had playing it, but I'm still looking forward to the next. To be fair we did introduce PoK and a 7th player, which threw everyone a bit off. Still, that game had its moments as well, and I will defend it.
>>97365123Played it exactly once. Would play again, but the opportunity arises maybe twice a year and I'd need to reread the rules so I just can't be arsed. Mad respect to people who get a game in once in a while.

>>97365082Hah I get how you feel. I know it's efficient, but I'm not keen on batch painting either which is why I've been doing these generally 1 at a time.
>>97364818>nice! what do you like about it?building it and going along with the feel; i also amuse myself with the design : the pulpit from where the speeches can be given has a convenient helipad right behind

The thing that drew me to BT was the old school designs of the mechs, this was around early 2010s when the greebling/hexagon sci-fi trend hit and everything started to look generic. I am currently painting up some random fan designs. I plan to get some Ral Partha soonish.
How are interspecies relationships between yuan-ti and humans treated in your setting?
>>97355296Iffy. There was a long period of Yuan-ti trying to conquer/enslave humanity followed by a peaceful era where Yuan Ti realized that not being assholes all the time actually leaves to a better standard of living. Unfortunately That led to Yuan-Ti leadership having a collective panic attack and trying to Exterminate humanity in order to avoid cultural corruption. Needless to say, the Snakes are on Thin Ice.

>>97353846>Deep Gnomes>entire thread and only one mention of deep gnomes>no mention of SvirfneblinAnd don't say they're obscure, if you play D&D you should have heard of them from cultural osmosis alone, they were a big part of BG2 and BG3 and are statted in nearly every ediiton.>>97360132>fully dressed character>you can still tell the artist is a degenerate who draws furry pornevery time
>>97353846Gnomes (current day) ARE the dark equivalent.
>>97364110no, it's weird in the "if you turn giant size in your cramped little people tunnels you fucking die"it'd make sense if they had a shadow form or such, but getting giant sized is a misfit.
>>97353846In D&D, what you're looking for are Spriggans.https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Spriggan
I want to make a character who specializes in gathering information. Basically I want to know everything and everybody, or to be able to quickly learn about something or somebody when that isn't the case.I'm not sure how to go about it. Obviously with a design goal as broad as that, this is not the kind of character that I expect to be fully realized straight out of chargen. Face skills seem like a nobrainer starting off, but what would be the best thing to focus on after that?Also Shadowrun thread. The character is for 5e using basic priority chargen.
I really like Shadowrun, only played 5e so far, but I like the setting, the design, the mechanicsLast year I started my own campaign and it´s going ok, I think I will ditch half of my players but that is not due to Game reasonsMy favorite thing about the game is, that you can streamline it very good, because anything can be boiled don to "dice pool v difficulty"What is your favorite thing about SR? Have you tried diferent Version? Which Version did you like the most and why?
>>97363879I'm gearing up for a 2e game. I fucking love the setting. Even with the magic and elves and shit, it still scratches the cyberpunk itch better than cyberpunk itself does, imo. And those Roc paperback novels are an intrinsic part of the 90s for me. It's goofy and not even close to realistic, but at the same time it feels like a lived in world, to me.
>>97363879To expand on this, I'm reading Shadowbeat right now, and they just don't fucking make sourcebooks like this anymore. It has rules on how to steal cable tv, and run a pirate broadcast. Is it completely unnecessary? Probably, but I love that someone thought about it.
>>97364175I think the metas make it even stranger from our world, so it feels more like an unfamiliar place>unrealistic but feels lived inI get what you mean some of the things aren´t realy that 'logical' but if feels convincing>>97364190All this niche stuff is, at least to me, what makes the settingI remember reading somewhere in the rules "There is so much going on every night, not all of it on your level" and this sheer abundance of options makes this more plausible"Don't deal with dragons" was recommended to me, did you read that book? What do you think about it?
>>97364342Ive never actually finished Never Deal with Dragons, although not because I wasn't enjoying it. Got distracted 3/4s of the way through.I've read Into the Shadows, 2xs, Changeling, Striper Assassin, Fade To Black, Wolf and Raven, Shadowplay and Night's Pawn relatively recently (last few years). 2xs, Into the Shadows, Wolf and Raven, and Changeling would be my recs. Changeling especially is fun because it's from a Troll's pov.

>>97364585outside of the Fessability issue, it seems neat would just be a lot of work from the event organiser/GM
>>97365071The game was designed around campaigns. If you're playing one the standard points size for most missions is 750-1000, with a few 500-pointers (basically a cruiser or two and some escorts) and 1500s (full-on fleet). Scenarios are a lot more fun than just pitched fleet battles. They will teach you very quickly about proper squadroning and planning for your ships' momentum. A 1500-point game should last a couple hours, anything above that and there are some weaknesses in the system that start to slow you down.>tipsNo matter what you want to cram into your list, if you're an Imp ALWAYS buy a LD9 Admiral. He's absolutely game-changing. You should also try for an even mix of lances, batteries, torpedoes, etc. You'll want at least 4 launch bays per 1000 points (these give you fighter coverage against enemy torpedo/assault boat spam) and it's considered kind of shitty to bring more than about one Nova Cannon per 500 points. Once you get a feel for the tactics you like, you can start to specialize moreAlso, get some actual Order Dice and like 50 blast markers. Fighter/bomber/Assault boat markers are just 20mm bases with a topper on 'em, torpedo markers you'll need to print off and cut out. The rules have only used the one with three torpedoes on it since 2002. You'll need at least 2 of the Bearing Compass/Nova Cannon Blast Marker. There are both STLs and PDFs of all the counters readily-available>did zero researchDon't stress too much about it, we tend to be a forgiving lot. Check out the Warp Rift/Specialist Arms website. They've got downloadable versions of all the rules, with links to a *very* useful G-drive. If you catch my drift. It's effectively a continuation of the old Specialist Games forums. And if you're in the South Sound, I'm usually up for a game.
>>97364271>feel like it is straightforward from the get goNot as much as you'd think. Learn the assist system, it's fundamental and yet plenty of players refuse to heed it and allow their defensive lines to get unraveled by just some mildly smart positioning. If you get the vidya it can be a good kicking off point, it does a lot of the work for you in the background though so reading the rulebook is very recommended to understand exactly what's going on. I'm in an online league that runs off BB2 myself, that's a ruleset more similar to BB2016 but legendary edition gives you all the teams and goes cheap during sales.
>>97365071>>97365252BFG is quite interesting regarding army size and game duration. You got less units, but you got alot of weapons to fire. And there is a time when a squadron splits and suddenly the movements become units.
>>97365252I just have the 1 mate from my group who has several fleets he built as a teenager in the 00s, so I assume both our fleets will just be a bunch of stuff we thought looked cool lol, afaik he does have all the markers and shit that we'll need from the original game, but I have a neptune 4 if I need more of them.>You'll want at least 4 launch bays per 1000 pointsI do have a cruiser on the way that I was gonna build as a lunar class, is it worth building it as a dictator? I'Il also have some weapon battery light cruisers on order so maybe that will cover my macrocannon/torpedo needs for a bit. >if you're in the South SoundSadly I am not, I am a norf bonglander lol
