What is the correct way to handle female priestess? Historically women weren't part of the clergy, so you don't have a lot of references to drawn from in regards to their attitude.
If gods/religion was real, obviously women would be preferred to be the one being priests.If you were a deity of whatever the fuck, which one would you want?Fat greasy retards?Or pretty women (also retards)?Plus in a world where you can invoke miracles by sheer faith alone, women would actually have an use rather than being dead weight.Simple as that: in a world with magic women can actually be useful.
>>97254880As opposed to male priestess?
>>97255022>women in clergy was limited although not rareThat depends upon the era Anon. Deaconesses in the Early Church are well attested. While very controversial, there may have been priestesses and bishopae in the first five centuries. It's controversial as evidence is not unambiguous in identifying function as being that of deaconess rather than of priestess, lack of written records for the first several centuries, the Council of Laodicea forbidding women serving as priests occured before date of the controversial evidence, and the Second Lateran Council forbade ordination of women including to the diaconateNote that this is a formal meaning of clergy whereas in D&D the role of cleric is informally treated as synonymous to priest. If we were to examine the situation nowadays, in the Roman Catholic Church only men may be priests and deacon is typically only ever a stepping stone on the way to priesthood, some Orthodox churches have begun ordaining deaconesses, but other churches routinely have deaconesses, presbyterae, priestesses, ministeresses, bishopae, and so on.>>97255610>This is very wrong. Catholicism had nunneries, sisters and Abbesses and female saints since practically the start.That is very wrong. Not one of monk/nun, friar/sister, hermit/hermitess, abbot/abbess, cenobite/cenobitess, or saint in any way indicates the existence of any clergy let alone female clergy. Canon Law, not historically rigidly enforced, was passed requiring abbots to be priests but it was not a requirement in Canon Law, and is not required in the Rule of St Benedict, and historically lay men, not even deacons, were commonly abbots.While a nun could be a cleric in the old days being a cleric was never a requirement for being a nun any more than nowadays a monk has to be a cleric.tldr;women were deaconesses from Antiquity to High Middle Agesdeacons are clergy but are not priestsComment too long.

>>97256104Do you think that's going to catch on?
>>97255022>Weren't ancient greek and shinto priestess glorified cheerleaders with no real power inside religion?That might be a bit true for Shinto since in that religion the males and females did very different things but as regards the Greeks that answer is definitely no. The role of Greek priestesses had significant overlap with that of priests and they wielded significant power both within and without their religion as well as having rights not normally available to women.

>>97256430I buy there shit but I also keep saying in here almost weekly now: they are deeply unserious and unethical. Expecting them to do the "right" thing for their customers is a pipe dreamLook at the hannibal game. The two guys making it had their wives DIE around the same time and they kept going and making this game over so many years. And then of ALL the shit that just sits on p500 doing nothing, GMT pulls THAT one and send them to another publisher. The convicted child predator couldnt have taken a moment to have done right by those two when border reavers is still on p500 and they give such a ridiculous amount of spotlight time the the dogshit ARC for some reason
Why were so many of the "OG" game designers insufferable faggots? It seems like the vast majority of game designers from the 70s and 80s were self-obsessed dickheads who openly hated and looked down on their customer base. There were obviously exceptions, and some like Gygax would go on to regret and apologize for it, but still, what made so many "professionals" back then such fags?Pic related: WFRP author James Wallis's response to a letter criticizing how railroaded The Enemy Within campaign was.

Why the FUCK is his power armor broken? The Badab War was 100 years ago. This dude leads a legion-sized band of space marine pirates and is one of the wealthiest and most powerful space marine lords in the setting, on par with chapter masters of the first founding chapters.WHY THE FUCK WOULD SOMEONE NOT HAVE FIXED HIS POWER ARMOR.

I've been working on a game for about five years and wanted to share it, but I can't seem to upload pdfs anymore. Why is this? I thought /tg/ was the hub for sharing rules systems. A lot of the stuff I played while designing was downloaded from the sharethread, are they also suffering from this?
>>97254569Drop a link on mega.
>>97254569Because of the hack about 8 months ago. I guess you've been working too hard to notice.It doesn't really affect the share thread because other people's stuff was uploaded to file sharing sites anyway. Does make the share docs more awkward to get though.Gofile seems to be favourite these days, but mega is fine.

Is there a "Tom Bombidil" in 40K? A warp god who just wants to be alone and do his own thing?
>>97255851I don't think that's true, I think that's the case for item quality and when you're bartering items you already have for a new thing, but not for the base price of the item. >>97255779I was using the wrong version, so my complaint about the chain weapons is moot, though the rest of the economy is still really strange. Thanks for the heads up though! Appreciate it.
>>97255900Ah, nah I was checking the wrong bit. For rarity it just can flat limit the quantity you can buy in certain locations. The base price does multiply based on quality/flaws, and it effects bartering using the weapons/items themselves as product though.>>97255948Right, right, my bad, was reading the wrong bit.
>>97255926Probably, there are endless warp entities which GW just doesn't have the time to write about, so they focus on the big 4 and whatever else their writers feel like writing. If you want to make a Bombadil-esque god for your game, go for it.
>>97255926>>97256312I should add, ofc warp gods exist through sentient emotion/belief in them. So in creating not!Bombadil you have to ask yourself who tf in the universe is feeding him and how - perhaps he is a manifestation of some mixture of folly/carefree-ness/apathy, fed by wanton wanderlust and desire to faff about (in a universe constantly at war giving its residents purpose these emotions are rare and fleeting, hence his status as a minor god).

>>97184072Lots. Also new archetype that lets you tap into draconic power, and a better draconic acolyte (disciple). The ones in the codexes are covered along with a bunch of others. Also, you can play as a tiny dragonet. Pearl dragonets are ridiculous and ask for punishment. Archdragons make regular dragons tremble in fear. They also explain why there are only three age categories.
>>97183880If you knew how many ugly assholes managed to get hot girls in bed, you'd understand.
>>97218759By definition, as described under "unarmed attacks" bites count as unarmed attacks, so they qualify for the powerful fist ability."Certain ancestry feats, class features, and spells give access to special, more powerful unarmed attacks. For instance, goblins with the razortooth heritage can attack with their sharp jaws."
>>97189848>>97190019It's amazing how many people fail to realize this part.
>>97256144Draconic Acolyte isn't really Disciple. It's pretty clear that Dragonblooded is where you go for all the "be a dragon" feats like Scaly Hide and claws. Acolyte is more like a Final Fantasy Summoner or Lyria from Granblue, more about calling a dragon spirit and using that. It's cool but I rather have a real Disciple remaster over needing to take an heritage slot.

>>97243189I genuinely wonder, is this the worst card in Magic history?
>>97243215I'd rather play something that sacs lands for an actual benefit.
>>97254176It's one of the worst creatures for sure. However there are still worse cards because wood elemental has power and toughness and can theoretically help you win a game. Cards like Break Open and Mudhole are worse since they effectively do nothing.
>>97256088I can see Mudhole being a narrow gravehate card against some land-recursion decks like the ones that loop Wasteland or Glacial Chasm. It's not the *most* effective at this but I can see it being useful at its role. But yeah, Break Open is worse. At no point would you actually ever want to do this, face-down creatures WANT to be turned up.

Trench Raiding With The Lads 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/. Keep it on topic.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/Comment too long.

>>97256250I keep seeing stuff like this and never actually know what theyre talking about.Its a completed game, the rules got made finalized and released for free. I dont get it, is it because it didnt beat warhammer? The franchise that has 30 years world of books, videogames, model ranges, rulesets and fanbases that grew up with it? Come on man. Play somethinbg other than Warhammer, theres a lot out there like TC and its such a shame that everything just defaults back to comparisons to them.
>>97256274No it's because they released nothing besides a rushed rulebook, a bunch of images, and broken, low quality models. It's just the same old thing when a new company has a golden opportunity in their hands, then aggressively shit their pants and throw it away that keeps happening for some reason.Also, notice at no point I've made any mention of 40k and yet you still brought it up for some reason. It sounds like you're the one with a chip on your shoulder here.
>>97256274Watch out for the concern trolls. They infest this place. Keep a lookout for the signature phrases, like rugpull and astroturf.
>>97256189Obligatory new thread update on the Companion.We've managed to push the campaign out before the new year, luckily most errors are just things that are supposed to update live, but require a reload, so we'll be able to very quickly get to work on our next major app update: Play Mode.Essentially our plan is a digital tracker to help keep things sorted while playing a game> Track whats been activated (ie, single-use items, CONSUMABLE equipment, TOUGH keyword)> View your active warband with all the fluff (campaigns, buttons to add stuff, empty selections) removed> Track victory conditions and glorious deeds> Post-game helper to let you quickly gain Glory, gain ex/skills/injuries/etcIf there's anything else that seems fitting for this feature - feel free to let me know.
>>97256313It sounds less like theyre throwing it away and rather you wanting it to die because it wasnt a 10/10. I hate this mentality anon, I want more tabletop settings and games, we arent going to get that when people piss and shit as soon as one gains traction but isnt done to a standards worthy of prestige.Not even saying there wasnt problems, but holy shit is it blown out of proportion. >liked seeing everyone making their own models and getting creative, they also found uses for those 3rd party STLs that you would otherwise never have a use for>NO the official STL prints were from a bad distrubutor fuck this game and fuck the developers and their shitty rushed rules that took 3 years, it shouldve took 10 like a real gameThis shit is depressing, Im not even defending the bad stuff, but jesus christ tabletop as a medium is fucked because of shit like this. Seems people just want to buy merch, not make something themselves for a game.

>>97255565the same way as any other digimon?as per the effect, you trash the top x cards of a stack."<De-Digivolve> is a keyword effect where the player declares a number from 1 up to the number specified in the effect, then the declared number of cards are trashed from the chosen stack(s) of cards starting with the top card. This is shown on cards using text such as <De-Digivolve 1>"I don't understand the confusion would be.they don't even need to be different levels, its just a digimon card that is two digimon that it changes between based on criteria being met or not

>>97252647Do you need them without boxes and colonies marked?
>>97252996Nah! I'm good, marking the territories isn't that long (outside of France's, which is just humongous), and I'm not sure which order of putting stuff is the best for it to come out looking good, this is very much a prototype. I'm glad at least I got a tiny bit of the USA's in there, I didn't even realize that. I tried doing the same with the full map, but Paint 3d couldn't handle the sizes involved. Very rough estimate, but the hexes came at about 80 miles across from what I could eyeball. What I'm thinking, for the "hexcrawl" version, would be that you build a small company, start in a city, and have a few options to generate job opportunities, trade mission requested, escort missions, reinforcement, labour employment, exploration, etc. A bit like, in Sunless Sea, when you are in Fallen London, so if you are in Fallen Paris you can check with the Societe if they have some missions for you. You generate a target location (figuring how to do this the best is what's bugging me now) and must reach it. Each hex you have to travel through would be a game map (obviously, not a 1:1 translation, but represent that one dangerous situation your Expedition got into during that week of travel). These games would set you more against NPCs. Probably some rules to speed up travel inside your frontiers, on roads or rivers, or through Airship or on boats. I've already figured out a bit of an event system to make the travel games a bit more chaotic. Will post more on this as soon as I feel it has enough structure to make sense.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere.Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.If you are new to the OSR, welcome!

>>97256278The lord intended us to make and use tools as we see fit. Pregenerating characters and putting them on character sheets or printing them out so players can have them to keep is zoz.
>>97256278I like using generators to whip up quick NPCs when the players encounter a wandering party or what have you. Beyond that, rolling characters is fast and fun. I sometimes fill out character sheets to stick in my portable books just for lulz.
