Disney is Mormonism or Islam of Star Wars.
6 movies is Christianity, with approach to the order being Orthodox watching the release order, Catholicism watching the Part number order, and Protestants doing weird stuff like 4-5-1-2-3-6.
EU is Gnosticism, which follows apocrypha.

Does Star Wars have something similar to the Mind Worms from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri?

I went with a more Spartan cooking honestly. Which in ancient times was described as being something non-Spartans considered traumatizingly awful, but Spartans themselves loved. Tasting History recreated one such Spartan stew and described it as bland with a metallic aftertaste if I remember correctly.

The spin of New Mando cooking was to marry the Spartan-style cooking with what Galaxy’s edge considered mando cooking. And frankly it just felt right, I can imagine that with the new pacifist philosophy, traditional tests of courage and strength would be seen as taboo, so a more “socially acceptable” way to prove oneself might just be seeing how spicy of food you can handle before tapping out.

My take would be that Mandos have three style of cuisine
>old-school cooking
older nordic/slavic-esque with influences of self-sufficient homestead cooking. Using all parts of animals/fish for stuff like bloodfood, bone broths, pickled fish, lots of hearty soups/stews. Big shared meals for important occasions like births. Lots of salt and acquired flavors that would weird out people who didn't grow up with it.
>field/deployment cooking
mix of MRE/nutricubes plus whatever you can trap and cook in a way that doesn't give way your position.
>new-school cooking
lots of fusion cooking blending different cultures into a melting pot of flavors. Some of the old style still hangs around but is supplemented with a lot of non-traditional ingredients and side dishes

Or to break it down into easier concept, a christmas dinner example:
>old style: smördgåsbord of 3-4 various styles of pickled herring, crisp bread, eggs with salted roe, salted fish and cold-cut meats, mustard-glazed ham or slow-cooked frozen moose roast and rice porridge
>field: turkey MRE and beaver meat prepared in a smoke-diffused cooking pit
>new style: smördgåsbord of a wild variety of pickled herring, sushi rolls, eggs with salted roe, deep-fried banana bread, cold-cut meats, turkey roast

Fishfag returned, I see. Shame, although very funny at the same time that he knows how comprehensively he's failed.

>>97343686
Sadly he's realized that starting 'OSR - Fish edition' is never going to work and therefore he's back to whining, seething and pretending not to understand things.

>>97343837
>pretending not to understand things
Don't attribute to malice what can more parsimoniously explained by fishfag being a mentally defective subhuman with a severe case of literal clinical autism.

>>97343916
>Don't attribute to malice
Or rather don't attribute to _pretence_. The subhuman retard is malicious, there's no doubt about it.

people just don't have the space they once had. i last played D&D around (effectively) a two-person card table in a cramped 'board game cafe'. 20 years earlier it was on the same fuckhuge workbenches in a warehouse the Warhammer nerds were building entire Minas Tirith cities on.

nowadays...that space alone could be an entire flat/bedsit some student would pay to live in. or for a business, that's an INSANE amount of space for storage, whether it's in a shopfront or out back. owners don't have that any more. why would you effectively sublet an area like that for free? because they really like Warhammer...?

You doing illustrations of different weapons and soldiers in your setting has inspired me to do the same, even though I mostly focus on space stuff, though I don't do it very often (This is the latest one I did, after someone asked me to complete a set of similar pictures for all the main factions of the setting).

What are some good resources for when you want to add an element of randomness to your world-building?

>>97343614
AD&D 2e's World Builder's Guidebook is very useful for fantasy settings. Diku (https://topps.diku.dk/torbenm/maps.msp) is good for planetary maps.

For future history/science fiction stuff, I've found far fewer sources. GURPS Space 4e has a detailed alien generator, which I turned into a Python program here: https://www.online-python.com/FcrCEyQbiw . Throne of Salt has some good tables for planet generation, particularly this one: https://throneofsalt.blogspot.com/2019/10/mothership-planet-generation.html . Sectors Without Number does the same using SWN's tables: https://sectorswithoutnumber.com/ . Traveller has lots of tables too, and this looks to be a web version of them: https://srd-tools.com/sector.html

I have a feeling your definition of "internal cammie politics" is going to be so broad that effectively everything that isn't cross-splat falls under it, but
1: You, or someone else in the coterie broke the Masquerade and now there's a mortal that knows what you are. How will you deal with that?
2: An independent ghoul has set his/her sights on you/someone in your coterie.
3: One night while feeding, you find a mortal that is immune to the kiss. What do?
4: Another vampire you know has become obsessed with the idea of becoming human again, and they keep trying to rope the coterie into their latest experiment in regaining their lost humanity.
5: You come across a young vampire, hiding out on the outskirts of town, that possesses a discipline that neither you, nor anyone you know, has ever seen before.
6: You're at one of your nightly haunts. Maybe you're looking for some blood, maybe you're just trying to enjoy a night on the town. But you see someone you knew in life. Someone you were very close with. What do you do?
7: Hunting down long-lost vampire lore
8: Basically any mundane crime you can think of is on the table for a vampire game
9: An ancient, traveling elder stops in your coterie's domain. They have seen much of human history with their own eyes. Are you able to coax that information out of them? Or must you suffer an immensely powerful and immensely entitled house guest?
10: Your ghoul has become pensive and withdrawn. Has the blood bond somehow begun to wane? Or have they simply become more jaded to their situation?

There 10 plot hooks/"things that you can do" that have nothing to do with internal politics, and I didn't even bother to mention the cheap shots of

>Douchemachine used to be the largest competition to GW.
>Now look at it and laugh
Do you have any specific gripes about Warmachine or are you just a soi GW simp that's still upset with a non-GW game reaching pick up playable status (that is before PP fumbled it)? That shit happened so long ago it's even more sad you still care.

For me, I never got into Warmahordses because sweaty tournament tryhards tried their hardest to make a sloppy imprecise miniatures wargame into a tournament game to the point of having 2D terrain. Those sorts of guys started playing 40k again, set up an international tournament rankings system, and got everyone to go along with their ugliness in return for rankings. Privateer Press may have lost, but Warmachine players won.

>>97330704
Looks like a higher tech khador man o'war, which is presumably what it is

I don't mind how the new Mk4 models look, but neglecting core factions like Cryx, Menoth, Skorne and Circle for stuff like trollkin pirates kinda killed a lot of the potential hype they could have gotten

>>97332225
The Mk4 lore isn't even that bad, what little there is of it. The main Mk4 rulebook is pretty anemic on lore compared to previous corebooks and there's next to zero character driven narrative posted anywhere outside of small story blurbs on their blog.

It sucks because they actually DID make a pretty great character agnostic setting with good worldbuilding with Warcaster, which got an entire hardcover book just for lore.

Mk4 Warmachine so far is:
>it's 7-ish years after the battle of Henge Hold
>Everyone has advanced in technology, Cygnar is much more tolerant of Cyriss and other religious minorities, which leads to even greater advancements in tech and magic
>The Orgoth suddenly return, having learned their lesson and made their own warjacks and blackpowder weapons. They take a big portion of Khador's coastline, a bit of Ord and an island from Cygnar
>Everyone rushes to defeat them, Cryx included

That's it. That's all that has happened in the 2-3 years since they relaunched Mk4. There aren't any boots on the ground perspectives or any character stories, it's just a wikipedia entry for the most part.

>>97332398
They DO still exist, but the original Protectorate is a shell of itself. Instead, the good guys from the faction left with Tristan (an actual lawful good paladin) to Zu, and are likely to return.

>>97343812
They have kept releasing armies, but Mk4 armies are small. Like theme forces back in the day, but not optional and you can't use models between them even if they're both Cygnar, for example.

The problem is that they had to have their arms twisted to release Cryx at all, and other core factions like Menoth are only now going to get their first armies this Summer where Trollkin, Khador and Cygnar are already up to 2 separate forces.

>>97344010
No, the kickstarters for Warcaster did quite well but PP was severely in the red even then, those kickstarters were all that kept the company going for several years until they flubbed the Mk4 relaunch and officially ran out of funding.

I understand your pain, brother. I only have 1 Second Edition set specifically for the Vindy, and my favorite sculpt of it is still the first, before they made it into munchkin duck vader. Only got 2 of those out of like 1200 mechs. I have more Battledroid Hornets than 1st sculpt Vindicators. Collecting mooks for GM purposes has been my biggest bane over the years. Well, that and unseen Galleons and Samurais, and Behemoths.

Thanks for your well articulated reply.

Do Players' or other subsequent books add the missing clans and disciplines back?

Personally I much prefer street level games, especially after coming off the back of nWoD and the high silliness it used to bring (out of our playerbase).

so apparently the order is
>storyteller>storytelling>storypath>storypath ultra
>>97340279
>just read ~2000 pages of text
yeah i will resort to that if i can't find the answers online. i got other things to do than read systems i might never ever get to play
>>97340378
apparently storyteller is the very first version too, which is impressive that they iterated on it and of the successors one is hated the other

>>97343530
I hate to be the one to break this to you, but reading is the main way one learns games, it's kind of important, actually. If reading is so tough for you, you might want to reconsider your choice of hobby.

>>97343759
RPGs are notoriously badly written, distilling information from them is a very time consuming act and i am grateful that i do not need to do it every single time.
i also disagree that reading is the way to learn tehm, because playing it is how you actually get a feel for the game. something that only reading will not instill into you.

>>97340688
oWoD had much more globetrotting metaplot silliness, in my experience

>>97340819
There could be maker spaces around you, many libraries branch out nowadays.
How hot does the part get? PLA starts to get soft around 60C so maybe you would need a higher temp material, and those can have nasty fumes so not everyone can use them.

>>97342930
Crimson Blaze
Pyro Sphere in low rarity formats
Raging Serpentine is a good card but only in Owen.dek since we don't have that many red decks you can use it in.
Gravity Crush
Shadow Wing :^)
Red Option
Meteor Wing

>>97336568
>120 players in a town of 5k people?
>that many people playing at all in a city of 200k
Yeah, it depends on availability. I do happen to live somewhere with a wider population, multiple LGS around town (and not that many running TTRPG, since they usually focus on TCG). If the situation was different / player count was lower, maybe I wouldn't try something like this

But then again, it *doesn't have* to be a huge rotating crew. My main goal w/ the WM style is not really to build up a huge group, but rather be able to invite people/have new people join without fear of commitment. People can join one session and see how they feel, can join every other session, and I assume I might have 2~3 hardcore people that will stick through all the first 5~6 sessions

>Come back to us when you finally start playing games, instead of asking how to
I will. The schedule is:
>Next Wednesday (14) - officially posting the campaign & starting to have people sign up
>Next Thursday (15) - testing the system/vibe w/ my core group
>Following Tuesday (20) - first official session

It's not only on the realm of ideas anymore, I actually have dates (agreed w/ manager from LGS, agreed the playtest with my core group, etc)

So, your proof is some sped-tier "logic" that basically denies that the creation of OD&D was possible? Look up the population of Lake Geneva in the 1970s, Anon. Gygax claimed that he DMed different groups 6-7 days a week in that town and that he ended up having so many different players that he had to get Rob Kuntz to co-DM the game with him to be able to handle all the interested players.
