The obsession with generals and the autistic jannyesque insistance that all talk must be kept in generals is why /tg/ is such a cesspit. There's no inter-topic relation, if you don't like DnD you just never go to the 5e or pathfinder threads and all you see is niche topics you like and the most inane questions which are so vague that nobody actually gives a shit.

People wouldn't tell you to stay in your general if you guys didn't make your cringe "fantasy should be low fantasy renaissance Europe with no magic and white male fighters only xD" threads over and over. Maybe if you made threads where you shared what happened in games you ran with your setting people would be more open.

>>97222512
How perfect or imperfect a setting is isn't going to matter as much if the game it's being used for is utter crap.
Too many times I've seen a really cool setting with a lot of concepts I think are cool, to then either be just completely disengaged during a session because instead of playing a game, the head of the table decides he either wants to get everyone to beta read his novel or he wants to share a script from some other podcast he thought was great.

As a quick example, I think zombie apocalypses are overdone and boring, but if there's a zombie apocalypse game that has character, gear, and combat options to use against various types of zombies, raiders, and mutants, it's highly likely that I'll have a blast with it anyway.
On the other side, I think cyberspace as a concept still has a lot of potential in media, but if there was a cyberspace-themed narrative system presenting as a game, with "daddy decides" dice pool resolutions and where everyone sits for hours listening to storytime and making voices at each other, I'm going to want to blow my fucking brains out with how boring that would be.

Gameplay matters more than setting ever will.

>>97222512
Fighting Fantasy, specifically the land of Allansia. The setting is dirty peasant medieval, with the odd city scattered around that's full of freakish religious cults, bizarre traditions, and any number of monsters masquerading as people. Magic is well-known, but completely out of reach for the average person and most adventurers, a wizard is essentially a rogue city-state in humanoid form. Magic items are uncommon, and at least half of them are pointlessly trivial. About a quarter of them are actively harmful to an inexperienced user, so the category as a whole is best avoided. Adventurers can be diverse up to a point - you don't have to be a Male Human Fighter (Nordic), but you have to be capable enough to fight him one-on-one, or your party will just hire him instead. A wizard wouldn't be in the party, because he doesn't need any help to loot, murder, or conquer. Non-human races in general are fairly common, but any specific non-human race is rare and typically localised to particular areas. You wouldn't have an elf AND a dwarf in a party, generally. Monsters are extremely commonplace and varied, and straying off the beaten path at all is almost a guarantee of encountering something nasty. Monsters and other hazards are extremely dangerous, and even something like a pair of goblins or a pitfall trap is at best a 50/50 chance of survival for an average adventurer without any help. In order to defeat a particularly powerful enemy like a wizard, a dragon, or a Dark Lord, your party will need an equally powerful ally or a special tool/weapon/spell to succeed, brute force has extremely limited applications.

Whereas cyberpunk was an aesthetic but also a social commentary on unrestrained hedonism/corporate greed and the consequences thereof, steampunk is just an aesthetic, which is why it's so hollow and why it mostly appeals to cosplayers. There's no substance so it's nebulous and vague, which makes it easier to get into but less poignant.

Steam punk deals with themes of rapid industrialization, colonialism, Victorian class structures, the impact of anachronistic advanced technologies, such as the "difference engine" would have on the world at large. Steam punk isn't just cyberpunk with brass googles it's a genre of alternative history, a fact people sadly forget.

I don't particularly like trying to 'correct' people, especially since i'm not really a drawfag, but, just in my own experience, for example, if it were me, I probably wouldn't draw women with the face folds and wrinkles. They make them look a lot older. I tried removing it, and lo and behold she looks like 30 years younger to me.

Of course, it's clear you've got a good 'skill base' so the potential is there.

Yeah, face details are tricky, requiring a lot of practice with line thickness and balancing a shade color with a solid border. I'm still ultra noob on shading myself, so for my own morale I've been trying to hold off on expressions like big smiles that my autism tells me would absolutely involve creases and dimples and the likes.

>>97219954
IMO they named too many of the Eight generals. Also they did that thing with Ipithymia that they did with the Lover and made her sexless.

At that point, just make a different character so that people who liked her can feel free to port her forward without much hassle.

>>97221979
For whatever reason I didn't mind what the changes to Ipithymia nearly as much as I did those to Lover. In part it's probably because I always found loli genderbent UCS sex street pretty silly, and in part because Ipithymia, unlike Lover, at least gets a pretty interesting new deal to replace what was removed. It's true that just having the new Ipithymia be a new character with a new name would've been better, though.

>>97221979
>At that point, just make a different character so that people who liked her can feel free to port her forward without much hassle.
You could say the same thing for 3e in general though. Just make a different game.

>>97222115
Nah, 3E as a whole, for all its flaws, is definitely Exalted and obviously written by people who care a whole lot about Exalted. The worst parts about 3E, setting aside the mechanical issues of the core, aren't ones where the writers seem like they'd want to write something else but ones where they half-ass things due to obviously being embarrassed of something from the past editions but simultaneously too fond of that something to really let go and change things. I mean things like Raksi being sort of a cannibal monster still but kind of not, or Lilith, or Lover, or, to a lesser extent, Ipithymia.

It's really fucking weird cause it seems like not only are their other games cheaper than 40k (except maybe 30k) but the rules seem more solid. Like Necromunda is relatively affordable, especially so if you get the rules online. Blood Bowl is even cheaper than MSBG and you can just buy teams on your own and lend to your friends. Even Old World is cheaper than 40k for some reason.

Like the other guy said, Marisbilly has arrived at a very Anti-Life-like endgame from an extremely twisted sense of aesthetics and extremely shallow sense of charity. He deeply and passionately loves humanity, the global structure and general society (and also Solomon, his personal hero). He has zero tolerance for the kind of nuances and individual quirks he believes are ultimately the source of all human suffering, to the point he thinks being a p-zombie is the highest state of being that can be aspired to and wants to share it with every human. Before proceeding to annihilate the fucking universe with magecraft belief logic to ensure only his hollow humanity prospers. Forever.

>>97222550
The finale forces him to fight his Shadow so probably not. He will not get a persona because he denies his shadow

>>97222562
>Before proceeding to annihilate the fucking universe
From his dialogue with Daybit, we at least know that his plan/observation is limited to the observable universe (14 billion light years).
Not that it makes it any less dumb, but at least it makes sense that Daybit would talk about humanity gaining a bad rep if the space around us that is limited to the speed of light would to suddenly vanish.

>>97222550
In terms of pacing (especially how hard they rushed the Olga trauma reveal, given everyone figured out the details long ago and we got introduced to the much sillier U-Olga before the grimdark "twist) it is a complete fucking mess. Kirei retreading his F/SN motivation was tiresome. It has a real Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows kind of feel where the plot is advancing noticeably faster and people are spitting exposition left and right because it needs to.

However, Maris CHALDEAS itself the final boss is...fittingly eldritch and spectacular for what it's supposed to be, Flauros-Solomon-Goetia steals every scene he's in by having the heaviest balls in any room, and even I have to admit even if it's a predictable twist FGO part 2 SHOULD have led with instead of padding itself out with endless silly jobber presidents the Olga torture sequence helps contextualise why U-Olga is so fucked up. Also I like what an unrepentant shitposter and troll Marisbilly is without even trying to be, his autism is off the charts.

It is a mess, but it's a mess with a firm sense of spectacle and drama. My takeaway from this ending is that it was MUCH more well-planned than everything between LB7 and itself, and it's mostly let down by the fact it DOES have to coexist with all the Filler Stall/E-Olga nonsense that let the wind out of the sails for a lot of reveals it wanted to be important.

>>97222575
>My takeaway from this ending is that it was MUCH more well-planned than everything between LB7 and itself
OC2 was pretty good in writing terms. OC3 was fun. OC4 and OC1 was a lot of wasted potential with some cool ideas and designs.
Narratively, I think they made a lot more of sense if you start treating them as affirmation of the human nature against Marisbury's ideas rather than that of Neo-Chaldea/Fujimaru/Mash's ideas.

Eastoids make them hot. I unironically think that westoids would have gotten away with the social justice movement much longer if they kept the marquee characters conventionally cool and attractive.

>>97221926
That's only part of the issue, token characters always feel forced and hamfisted because inherently are unless the whole thing is made with levity in mind or they're part of a joke. In the specific case d&d adventures aren't generic fantasyland escapades but are specifically and for the vast majority about outdoormanship, underworld delving and monster fighting, putting a guy in a conventional wheelchair there only evokes annoying, dragging scenarios, making the guy sit on an unconventional wheelchair (that offsets those inconveniences) makes the whole exercise moot. On the other hand having the cripple strapped to, for example, a dire wolf mount makes the whole experience potentially interesting balancing out the potential grievances.

I saw that, it's mixed feelings mostly just depending on the card. I don't mind for the vast majority but it usually boils down to like one or two I hyper fixate on. Gives a good opportunity to try shit out without harming the mainline product.

>>97222404
Probably. I wouldn't expect see that Ash semi sticking, maybe a year or so before it goes back up to 3.
The charmies I still don't know where I am on them because they're more balanced but I still don't think they're good for the game. I don't that this avenue is a good method of fixing the going 2nd problem. It feels like a bandaid solution to avoid making a revision to the rules.

>>97222447
>I wouldn't expect see that Ash semi sticking,
Nah, I see it going back a year to a half a year. Some reason that hit irritates me, I do kind of like the card. I think the main reason why it's hit is because a lot legacy decks are starting to have supports that lets them draw 2-4 cards now and they want people to use those decks more.

To me charmies still have the Maxx C issue where allowing your opponent to draw is still do good. I, also think that the game is gonna start either move towards decks being able to draw a fuck ton or simple decks that can out out a fuckton of interactions with no effort or massive combos
