How many players do your current game(s) have?How much is too much?What's the smallest group you've been with? What's the biggest?For me three players is the comfiest. I've ran games for two, and there was this time the table had 12 players. It was a complete shitshow but it was fun giving the GM a headache.
>>97179894>How many players do your current game(s) have?8 (7+dm), but we are seldom ever all present. D&D 3.5e.>How much is too much?5>What's the smallest group you've been with? What's the biggest?3 and 9 (in a 5e game)That game with 9 people was a complete shitshow, but it was fun since nobody was really taking things seriously at that point. It was more using D&D as a social medium than actually playing the game.With my 3.5e group, since most of us have such inconsistent schedules between work, family, and life in general, we have a system where the DM chooses which day we'll play that week, and as long as 3 people are able to make it, we game.That means that sometimes characters pop in and out of existence, but it's a compromise we al accept.There have been times where all 8 of us were available on the same day and shit was going down in game.One of these times where everybody showed up, we were embroiled in the defense of some capital city against an extra-planar incursion, and there were former-PC NPCs in the city too, so some of us got to control 2 characters.That was a glorious mess. 10 or so PCs vs a hoard of monsters, with some of us protecting the town square, some of us in or airship doing aerial combat, and others fighting their way through a hoard of infernal (and abominable) enemies to reach the origin point of the invasion.Shit was cash.

Ran a table for 2, and also ran a table for 6. My preference is 3 if they can show up consistently, 4 if people are gonna miss games. Currently running a two top and playing in a 3 top.
>>97179894Current game has 2, Scarlet Heroes homebrew Carcossa game, its fun and the HD as HP mode lets us use what would otherwise be an overly deadly setting. Still pretty deadly. Have ran for 6 people, works as long as I kept everything moving and the rules were light but is a lot of effort. I tend to prefer 3-5. Smallest has been just me, tried solo games, didn't really like it. Helped figure out a few mechanical interactions but not something I do regularly.
>>97179894Sweet spot is 3-4. 2 is too few and 5+ is too many, except for unserious beer 'n pretzels games.

>>97187951I like that punching machine disguised as missileboat one
>>97188173I don't see why not. It could just be a feeling he has for one reason or another. Weird shit happens in the BT universe that may or may not be supernatural sometimes.
>>97188173A Davion MechWarrior can feel whatever he does in the heat of battle.Whether it's truly some sort of deep-seated resentment, somehow stored in the memory banks and transmitted via the neurohelmet, or just some dude having a strong feeling in the heat of battle...who can say?
>>97188173This sort of thing is what the setting is actually designed for.

>>97185201>in actual fact they are the biggest threats in the worldWhether or not this is true isn't the fault of technology there will be and have always been evil humans ripping people up someway or somehow.I see obsessively dedicated learners with ridiculous genetic talent for abstract thinking and learning of deep systems Blubaum is one convenient example he started a mathematician. If it was only visual also they wouldn't be able to so easily play games blind or spoken by position. Chess is also only a fixed system according to the language game which discloses it, a paradigm like chess can always make sense under another just as in science a theory does.

>>97187792I know that Warcaster guys, despite small group, keep getting 2+ events at every convention. So I guess there's enough chatter to not ignore.
Honestly while I feel for their fans Circle being left out with "they got what they wanted and fucked off" is honestly something I really like. They accomplished their goals and dont feel the need to do anything. Wining by doing nothing now.

Im late but arkham horror anon, they talk about it in the board game general every once in a while if you want to ask anything specific in there! (noticed no one mentioned that)>>97187447I could only tell it was Fab when I scolled to see the bottom, otherwise idk wtf that shit is >>97187421For TCG proxies? Making it look good if you have transparent back sleeves isn't worth the effort unless you have access to very thick card stock and a printer that is compatible with that. The common thing is take the card fronts only, print them, get sleeves with a solid back, slide some chaff mtg into the sleeve, slide the printed card front over it.If you're using something like ultra pro ultra matte or whatever tf they're called, if you use any average commercial grade printer or like a decent inkjet at home once you slide it in if you sized it right no one can tell its a proxy if it's just an average game with someone across a table. The sleeve fronts are kinda textured and foggy in a way that I've printed foils and you can barely tell even they're not real from certain games where they're not physically textured. I use mtg as the backs because they have that solid black border and then black sleeves, it makes it less sus as well>i stg that one anon from the last couple days better not flip reading this again
>til the Blue Furok fan site for Magi Nation finally went to the flgs farm upstate.It stings a bit.Ive been using that site since what feels like 2004 to look up cards and reread the short stories.
>>97185629It's what TCGs are for. their purpose is to milk players like cattle, and discard them when they stop producing. any of these games could as easily be a boardgame or LCG. by choosing to launch as a TCG, James was telling you up front that "fuck over old players" was always going to be part of the deal. he unambiguously informed you up front the nature of your relationship. stop acting surprised.

The more interesting question is when the fuzz are we going to get the Lazlo sourcebook? Is there a book release schedule for 2026? This snip has been teased for years now with no actual product.
>>97187348OK, I found this, but it looks the same as in early 2025. CS Arsenal might be interesting if it isn't just another weapons catalog. >THE BLEAKNESS>sad goth noises
>>97187348We will never get Lazlo. Politics are starting to effect RIFTS terribly, idiots out there think the CS are somehow the bad guys. The Lazlo pre-order apparently has shit like thought police no standing military & all kinds of conflicting liberal double think because they can't reconcile the idea of 80's left on which it was made & 20's left which is what they expect. Plus, if they finally finish it, they might get rid of the awesome TW borg bits. If they remove the personal rift generator I fucking riot
>>97187745>If they remove the personal rift generator I fucking riotThat thing is way overpowered anyway! RIFTS should only be a GM's prerogative for plot purposes.
>>97178105>>97174572I always wondered, do people play TMNT with the book as the only resource or do they pull in other palladium books for their campaigns?

What's the weirdest, wild PC you've ever played or allowed? I let a player play a wyrmling deep dragon (DotU) in one campaign. Just Acid Spyro.
>>97187628I had one of my players discover over the course of the campaign that he was actually a young red dragon who was polymorphed into a red dragonborn at an early age. He unlocked his true form during the final battle with Tiamat
Most of my players don't enjoy playing humans or demihumans. We like the weird shit.
>>97188023For one-shots, sometimes I like to let a brand new player play as a young or wyrmling dragon, just so they're not inundated with too many things to look through on a character sheet
