Why is it so common for fantasy rpgs that try to do the "Deep Lore" stuff to always default to Gnosticism or H.P. Lovecraft in a trench coat?
I'm a pious Mormon. What's the ideal setting for me?

>>97225178Elder Scrolls is kabbalistic and buddhist with a dash of generic paganism mixed up in a Tolkien (ripoff) framework.Elden Ring is gnostic, that's what might be confusing you.
>>97225388Dogs in the Vineyard, obviously.
I feel like this edition has alot of objectively bad things about it and is absolutely where the alot of worst qualities of current editions showed up. But I feel like I prefer playing this edition compared to a lot of previous editions and 10th edition. Its a weird transitional period where there's still a lot of the old units that haven't been legended yet while still having the fucking Primaris lot. Its strange but I don't feel like I'm missing out on much staying on this edition and playing with friends casually instead of going back to playing the current edition.
>>971861088th edition was fun for the first 2 years and I had some really good games with my group. And then Codex: Space Marines 2 dropped, and it all went to shit almost overnight, and it never got better with 9th and 10th editions afterwards.
10th edition was my first edition of 40K, I've seen a lot of people say that 8th edition was fun with Index books, which look like proto-codices? Was there stuff about 8th that was largely considered bad?
>>972173025th had shittier LOS, shitter terrain rules, assaults had issues, vehicles became very dominant, but the worst shit was the wound allocation system(if the models in your unit were the same but had multiple wounds, you had to keep allocating to one model until it was dead, then move to the next and the next etc, but if your unit had the option to kit out everyone with different gear like Ork Nobz you could spread the wounds around so you wouldn't take any casualties until you'd taken enough wounds to force you to loop back around to the first guy - it got even fucky-wuckier when you threw in characters and assaults that included multiple units) and the codexes(which tied all the flavourful subfaction rules in your army to specific Special Characters and took away a lot of options - Guard are a perfect example, with their previous 'dex giving you huge flexibility to make the army you wanted even to the point of playing an all-infiltrating Light Infantry regiment or taking units of Vets in heavy armour, while in 5th you could have ONE infiltrating Vet squad and you had to buy Catachan Sergeant Harker to get it, and you could have ONE Grenadier unit and you had to buy a specific Cadian dude to get that, it was shit).There are exactly three good ways to play 40K depending on your preference.If you want whacky wahoo wahey 80's nostalgia or want to play a borderline-RPG, you play Rogue Trader.If you want Herohammer, you play 2nd.(cont...)
>>97226123>>97217302(...cont)If you want to play Warhammer 40,000, you play 4th edition core rules with a mix of codices; 4th ones up to and including Tau(after this they changed their design philosophy with an eye on 5th), the latest 3rd edition one for everything else. You have the full range of content from both 3rd and 4th editions to draw on - campaigns, WD rules, Chapter Approved, some of the FW books, the Journal, even some "fan"dexes that were written by GW dudes in their spare time like Huckleberry's Mechanicus list - and none of the NuHammer garbage to deal with - no Primaris, no Primarchs, no Redditcrons, no Ward-era Grey Knight retardation. I started in 2nd but 4th is where 40K peaked as far as I'm concerned, it's the bowl of porridge that's Just Right.
Been kind of working on some custom 8th edition stuff lately since I've been playing it a lot. Custom cards and datasheets if anyone wants to see. Honestly I've had an idea in mind this week to create a sort of "alternate" 8th edition ruleset with some stuff from other editions and redone Primaris.

Clearly, she enjoyed herself.>20- Your swordsmanship is unmatched! A true swashbuckler!

Moloch's Fun Park Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/.

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/j/jolting-portent/>Once per round when the target makes an attack or casts a spellwould this apply to (Sp) ?
>>97226061(Sp) counts as spellcasting for basically any instance that matters outside of not needing components.
>>97226149thanks.another question - would 'casts a spell' condition trigger when the spell is already going off, or can this be used to try interrupt spell casting?
>>97226196No, the spell has already been cast, so the only thing that this would interrupt is if you're trying to interfere with the spell being a multi-turn attacking spell like Sunbeam.

>>97222130My biggest criticism of them is that they were too afraid to actually hack at established things (even if they are bugaboos) and make it something new and better than before.

>>97226135>Essence 2e.The only difference will probably be the return of attributes, and Janest not being the signature Exigent.
>>97226057My biggest criticism would be: the devs did not have a clear image of what they wanted to create, or how to go about it. When embarking on an arduous journey, it’s crucial to have a clear plan. They set out to create a whole line of printed RPG books, over the course of 10 years, without a solid understanding of their mechanics, math & probability, or what their audience wants & needs. Do they want new Exalt types? Do they want to homebrew all their creations (Exigents’ charmsets, evocations, unreleased splats)? Do they want storytelling guidelines and developers’ commentary? Do they want pre-made adventure modules or just story hooks? Do they want thousands of more charms? Do they want dice tricks? Complex subsystems for craft, socialize, war, etc.?Does your audience want a big, heavyweight RPG just like 2e, or a small, light one more akin to FATE? Do they want to wait half a decade to receive the book for their favorite splat?They had some answers, but not enough. So the release has been long, slow, delayed, haphazard, and disjointed.
From the creators of Obojima, a third-party 5e setting directly based on Miyazaki and Ghibli films, on the official channel for Obojima:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Sxd-p2Gaj5E>*video shows picture of gnoll*>As soon as you humanize the faceless monster, now, you got a huge problem. It ceases to become fantasy adventure. Keep monsters monstrous, cause you need to have things to kill. If you keep it cinematic and cartoony, you'll have a good time killing monsters. If you start getting into simulation, where...>*video shows more and more pictures of gnolls*>What is the howler culture? What is the nature of intelligence? And like, do they have a soul?

>>97224937>>97224844Curse of the Crimson Throne is a perfect third game after getting comfortable with the mechanisms of Pathfinder. It’s an AP that lives or dies by the DM’s ability to make you give a shit about the city.I think Jade Regent would make an amazing game too given it’s already got romance, travel and an epic princess story built into it.
>>97225063They could even use VN-style mechanics for the romance system and Caravan management as like a spreadsheet system. I agree, it would be cool.>>97224844I want Carrion Crown first if we get a Castlevania/Dark Souls AP. And add Virtuous Bravo Paladin archetype since if you give it a whip, it’s basically Leon or Richter Belmont.
>>97224844Fists of the Ruby Phoenix has plenty of great moments and locales that could be added in the event that it was adapted to a video game. But with the mad-libs nature of the teams, the sponsors, and a lot of what happens in the third book means someone on the team would have to come up with the willingness to flesh it out in order for it to be memorable. Perfect 7/10 starter ready to be made whole at your table.
