Sup /tg/, wanna talk about Slavic, Steppe, and Siberian myth in TTRPGs. There's so much cool shit, from Cornflower Wraith to Bolotnik to the Hungry Ghosts. But it feels like this stuff is barely explored. What are some good resources as reading for my setting?
>>97184950>The people who treat it as exotic stuff meanwhile have nothing to draw from, unless they can read Cyrillic.Cyrillic is not at all hard to read if you already know Latin (and vice versa). Both are derivatives of Greek, and neither have changed very much. Biggest hurdle is learning Russian or any other Slavic language if your mother's tongue is English, because it is substantially different.
/v/ related but play this game, Black Book is an amazing in depth dive on Komi-Perm folklore and myth. You play as a witch and its very hands on with the supernatural but it littered with information on Permian folklore made by people from there and it doesn't go into typical Russian folklore stereotypes. Indeed I am also fascinated by Siberia and its very hard to find someone doing justice to it. There is an aspect unfortunately that both due imperial Russia doing obvious colonization methods and urbanization and overwriting it with orthodox Christianity and then the Soviets being hostile to folkloric traditional practices, has erased a lot. It is redundant to say it, but Permians, Chuds, Komi, Nenets and other Uralic peoples are NOT ethnic Russians, they have their own language, they had their own religion and completely different pattern and way of life compared to the sedentary Slavs.
>>97184600Okay, NTA, but I’ll check that out, thanks.
>>97189445>Translation: BUMP!
>>97184510
>take soulless Primarishit model>insert classic Forge World MkIV SOVL>??????>PROFIT!And the best part is, because the precedent established by Games Workshop Group v. Chapterhouse Studio explicitly protects compatible third-party accessories, there is nothing GW can do about it but cry and exclude them from their subsidized events.
>>97190630Personally, I prefer Thunderhead's coffinmech but I don't own a printer so I can't do anything with the .STLs.
>>97190630Not a boxnaught/10. Sad.
>>97190784No, it's stupid when the board gets flooded with microtopics like this. You'd have a point if this thread were about, say, designs of space marine dreadnoughts in general, but OP is just talking about a single picture of a single model he saw.
>>97197271Your argument would have more merit if we hadn't just had exactly the sort of thread you claim is acceptable, and it resulted in the exact same "you missed the general" shitflinging from displaced Redditards that we see in every single standalone thread regardless of substance or merit. If a topic can sustain a discussion, it will sustain a discussion for however long that topic is of interest. We don't have karma, you can't upvote for popularity, literally the only mechanism by which a topic can be judged is its longevity in the catalog and "microtopics" like this one are every bit as valid as some creaking, bloated General thread that only serves to satisfy an autistic fixation on sorting that would be better served by going to literally any other website than 4chan.That's not a bug, it's a feature. 4chan is behaving exactly as intended when someone shares a picture of a model they like with an anecdote about it. I'm sorry that doesn't satisfy your refined sense of aesthetic value, but your Asperger's diagnosis is not my problem. Suck it up and hide the thread if it bothers you. Else, you know where you can go back to.
>>97190784Holy based>>97193023How do you know that
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)?
>>97197145Initiative as an oscillating variable allows for some interesting mechanics.>multiple combatantsAn easy fix, just have the initiative flip be ally-based instead of locked to a single individual. If you successfully defend and gain initiative, you don't need to take it directly but can hand it off to a friendly. That would also mimic the "waiting for an opening" thing, although you'd want to make sure there's incentive to diversify the initiative-taker. Maybe a stamina system?
>>97197646>"Narrative Initiative" is trashJustify this
>>97197703No.
>>97197703Games.
>>97197646>>97197696Thanks anons, I think that might be the answer. I’ll have to try it on our next playtest. Might open up for some interesting flexibility. Thinking ahead the only thing that might get finicky is a weird chain reaction that might end up silly. Let me describe it: Team A, B, C are lined up against Team X, Y, Z. Player A has initiative and so attacks player X. Player Y chooses to attack A, seeing an opening. Player B attacks player Y, seeing an opening. And so forth. The solution might be very discretely controlling which side has initiative so that this ONLY happens in the unusual circumstance where A loses initiative to Y, Player Y loses initiative to B, etc. Anyone have a favorite system?

>>97198284>because he doesn't want to program every card in manually.I guess, but I don't have the combos.js so I can't say, which is weird to me, because it reads Thassa's Oracle and Doomsday as a combo, but not Animate Dead schenanigans, even though it's existed for a lot longer, which makes me really want to see what's in the file right now (if only to see what else might be in there).
>>97198278Minor disclosure, the Divining Top is getting swapped for a Cathartic Pyre. Thought it'd be a cute addition but the deck doesn't shuffle enough to be useful.I feel like it's throwing a fit over the Lotus Petal, Gamble, and WoF, but those card's aren't exactly breaking anything in this deck.

What makes a setting don't feel generic a.k.a. not DnD?
>>97197795As a tip, if you're going to samefag you need to not restate your arguments verbatim like that. It makes it painfully obvious you're the same guy.
>>97197828>turbo communistsThey're capitalist as fuck and share their wealth ONLY with their blood-related kin who are also dorfs, with any other races or foreigners they're TND. Look at how they behaved in The Hobbit, they risked the lives of everyone in a 100 mile radius for a chance at some gold and then fought to the death protecting their investment.
>>97191156Don't copy tolkein.
>>97191156A setting? Intense versimilitude in some aspect of the worldbuilding that is relevant to the players experience of the game. Like if you have at least one bit of the setting where you the author poured your autism and the players can directly interact with it and learn something new, it will stick. Doesn't make it good, but will make it pop out.
>>97191156That depends on what elements of a setting you find "generic". Some people might thing big witch woman with massive tits and classic witch hats is the most generic garbage ever, others in this very thread think it is innovative today. You might find the anime/manga Delicious in Dungeon the most generic thing ever or you might find it's takes on fantasy food, dungeons, adventures, and the various races to be cool and innovative. Basically it's what >>97191178 said, but it's have to be an idea that YOU and the PARTY find unique to the space. Since this thread loves talking about tits, I do like a big pair of tits, but personally if a property is leaning too much on sexuality I just assume it sucks ass and it tries to shove a bunch of sexy characters in your face to make up for being dogshit (ala gacha games) or will pretty much lack any substance besides sex, and in that case I'd rather just look at some porn and finish in 5-10 minutes and get on with my day than play a "generic gooner rpg" where all the girls have massive tits to make up for having the personality of cardboard. Likewise though, if there a complete and utter fear of sexual or dark topics at all, the game is gonna feel stilted and dishonest and "generic" when all the game has to offer is safe and clean fantasy troupes that people are sick of. Anons in here clearly are constantly exposed or choose to see the "stilted and sexless" generic fantasy and thus assume the sexy gooner fantasy is non-generic. However, somebody on say, tumblr for example, might want something sexless because all they ever see or choose to see characters with flat personalities and massive boobs and figure that THESE are generic and those that oppose this in favor of what they view as more story rich games are, in fact, not the generic ones. This isn't a political thing (it can be though) but it really just depends on what type of setting you personally see constantly and just don't like.
Were these novels the Critical Role of their day?
>>97141402Gygax was a fucking retard and his rules are awful. Who cares what he thinks.
>>97193701Its fascinating to see the progression of the realms into D&D's defacto setting.Because back in the day the main setting was Greyhawk, but that had ties to Gygax and FE had eclipsed it in popularity and content during 2E on top of Greenwood just being happy people were making things in his setting, and the popularity of the Baldur's Gate games, meant that when D&D was trying to solidify itself into a platonic state for 5e, just saying fuck it and making FR the base setting made sense, even it it wasn't the best call of the overall state of the hobby or the realms themselves.
>>97193701I'm not gonna sit here and pretend my older campaigns weren't glib, full of references to different things or often devolved into silliness but I feel like there was at least an attempt to be serious. Not a successful one because we were all 15 year old asshats, but ignoring all goofing around we still wanted to be sincere about it. It used to be you started a serious campaign and cracked shit because you were with your friends. But now it's like everyone goes in expecting it to be LOL SO QUIRKY! You're not even deep into the first session before someone now is trying to be RANDOM!
>>97160170>Reading books was the smart mans joy. Just like it still is.The average reader today is a woman gooning to "romantasy", lmao.
>>97194898Greyhawk actually is the official setting for 5.5 because none of the current D&D audience has any familiarity with it do no one will object when they add friendly Mexican orcs.

How do we fix Steampunk?
I have a strange aversion to the term Steampunk, because of the pip-pip-cherio cogfop thing. When I do it, I incorporate a lot of gothic fantasy horror stuff.wait,>https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GaslampFantasy>Dishonored and BloodborneOh, I've been doing gaslamp fantasy the whole time.
>>97196423Replace it with dieselpunk
I'm gonna sound like I'm being facetious, but I'm serious here: What are the prominent steampunk works? Cyberpunk has its Blade Runner, its Sprawl trilogy, The Matrix, shit you can point to as what defines it or cements what it is, at least in the popular eye. What is there for steampunk? I've seen the aesthetic stamped onto other settings, like for themed temporary events in vidya and shit, but what are the big works? Who is the original Victorian fop airship captain or whatever? What is it that the art hoes and convention types are actually referencing?
Make a single good setting or game with it. Just one.
>>97197860>>97198341Not really weird, there aren't really any defining works. Hell, even tvtropes (not exactly the best critical site, but it generally is useful to get an idea over the consensus for what people would tag as whatever) starts with Verne. Which is like, I dunno, defining peplum by starting with the Aeneid or something.
>author adapts his D&D campaign into a well-written, highly-entertaining animated seriesWhy has nobody done this since?
>>97197793So I've heard, though I didn't see any hints of it in the show. Certainly not the tone.
>>97194802It should be influenced by their own folklore instead
>>97198190You mean the same way Gygax was only influenced by Wisconsin folklore?
>>97198190>It should be influenced by their own folklore insteadAll the fantasy anime shows that have shit like shrine maidens, tanuki, kitsune, kappa, and molester octopi just aren't enough for you?
>>97197118Waaaaaaay too many words to admit you're just a poser unable to name 5 fantasy stories.
>Something amazing happens in a game>the whole table is on a roar with excitement or laughter>try to retell this story to my non-gamer friends and girlfriend>it sounds like the most boring shitHow do I get better at telling stories?
>>97182499Is this your first time experiencing a "you had to be there" moment?

Been a hot second since I visited! Fun to see the local quasi-incestual Toreadors keep up the drama, life'd be boring without them.

>>97197866I realize a lot of it was trash but it was still a neat collaborative creative writing project. I remember it fondly simply because I’d never seen anything like it before. Of course cliqueing was inevitable and once the mods started gutting legacy articles and putting a stranglehold on what you were and weren’t allowed to write about it was fucked.
>>97197807>>97197850SCP is a sandbox of ideas. You can pick and choose whatever aspect of it you like to fit your whims. You might as well stop breathing air because retards also have access to it.
>>97198210I’d agree with you if the mods didn’t ban an array of topics they didn’t like and changed “problematic” articles to fit their criteria. It’s incurably infected by bad faith actors and should be left to die.
>>97197866>No, it's baseline is shit.

There is nothing inherently wrong with the concept. Governments already cover up a lot of shit from us normies. There is the reports of men in black showing up after UFO sightings. Project Blue Book and the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office also exist. If you think clinical documents are not scary you should read the documents of MKUltra. The CIA describe doing terrible shit to people like it is not fucked up.
>>97198294I think most of them do believe in these things.Which might be worse, in case you don't like them. But I don't see why you should jump to "bad faith" hypoteses.
