>setting where technologically primitive party has to explore / loot a dungeon with >= modern day technology (including both treasure and security measures, traps, etc)has anyone tried this? also bonus points if you have answers to the following questions:>how does the tech affect the setting once it's taken out of the dungeon>how do you justify characters knowing enough to not die instantly from a sentry turret / electric fence / landmine / poison gas generator / whatever
The only correct way to run this is as a caveman meatgrinder, where mundane appliances are described in superficially accurate, but intentionally misleading ways, in order to maim and kill the players.It's effect on "the setting" are irrelevant, as storyshittery is secondary to the fun of turning a disposable rota of primitives into goo, setting them on fire, or tricking them into consuming cleaning agents.
>>97839038As a player, no. But I have run it multiple times, including adaptations to better games like Fantasy Hero and Runequest.
if the traps are something like machinegun turrets or poison gas mines or whatever, how do you justify them not becoming non-functional due to degradation after thousands or millions of years? (or however long it took for the dungeon to be found by primitives after the dungeon creators fucked off)

>>97837644No, it isn't. Not even a little bit.
>>97837598There are better ways to go about using AI this way. You went head on with zero research using the lowest common denominator tools to achieve it and you're somehow surprised you had terrible results. Instruct LLMs are terrible at creative endeavors, and AI doesn't have unlimited context memory, so you can't just keep going forever expecting full cognizance of the entirety of your campaign. You're going to have to work with back-end APIs at the very least if you want to have a remote chance at being successful at this.
>>97837618>ChatGPT is bad at being a DM because it cannot improvise, it can only reiterate that which exists.TTRPGs are reiterating the cliches of a given genre on the fly. There are plenty of reasons as to why current LLMs can't DM as well as human can, but this is not one of them.

Repeat after me: MAKE. YOUR. POTIONS. IN. PILL. FORME!Pills are ancient, they predate Egypt! We made pills better in medieval Europe by putting them inside purified nontoxic silver to boost power, we don't do that anymore because it's too expensive.Whole reason why we take pills and don't drink medicine is because any medicine is just 0.1% active ingredients, putting it inside a pill is more efficient, making it a drink is wasteful.Realistically in DND, if potions were real, they'd kill adventurers, all over the Adventures Guild you'd see newspapers like:>SSS-rank barbarian killed in the Dungeon because drinking healpot takes too long!>LVL 99 thief killed in the Dungeon because he choked on manapot... it went down the wrong hole!>The Hero killed in the Dungeon because he tripped down stairs and broke all pots!Potions? Not even once! Pills are the right way.
>>97837095Could have it so any effect triggers at the start of the character's next turn, so that even if it doesn't require a full action to consume, there is still some planning involved. Weighing less is also a potential aspect, although potions aren't exactly the heaviest thing anyway.
>>97836415Obsessed
>>97837304I don't think there's many cases where the volume/weight of potions actually becomes an issue, and it mainly would depend on the dose and size of the container anyway.
>>97837665I think it has to do with WoW, where, at least in vanilla, the icons for healing potions seemed to depict larger volume flasks for better potions.
>>97836372And they also use pills. You gotta eat write and they probably experiment with all sorts of shit, so a pill wouldn't be too insaneI had some webm from a donghua of some xianxia just fucking guzzling the things
I really love hex tile games so I made one where cities are dice (to represent the size) and you draw tiles from a random bag like Carcassonne and place them according to rules (like you have to contribute to existing forests or mountain ranges on the edge until they're a certain size, before you can start a new one). The game was very visually and tactilely satisfying to me, which is important since it's being played in the physical realm. But the girls, as you can see, are a bit small. So I bought new ones. I haven't painted them yet but I am hoping to add some numbers to them, almost like Catan has. So therein lies my question (and I know I'm leaving a lot of details out, this game is very different from Catan, but it's basically a 4x tabletop hex tile game). My question being:Do people actually like rolling dice in Catan? I think in Catan it's a very elegant way of adding depth to the game. Currently in my game, you roll 1d6 per population of a city, and for each 5 you roll you can get a resource of the tile your city's on, and for each 6 you can get that or an adjacent resource. But that leads to a lot of dice rolling. By the end game you might be rolling 10 pools of dice each with 6 dice, and making decisions along the way. So obviously I want to simplify it. But the question is, do people even like the dice rolling in Catan? Or would they rather the randomness be removed from it?
>>97831462>Do you think that's enough by itself as a random element for a game?Generally yes. I prefer board games with some but limited randomization. 2 variables is okay, anything after that makes it janky enough its less interesting to plan imo. But there's going to be some variance in that, might not hurt to ask /awg/.
You might be developing Clash of Cultures.
>>97825377>>97825007I'm really curious how you guys are incapable of parsing his post. It made perfect sense to me, he's talking about a game he is making that is similar to Catan, is using mechanics from catan, but that they have quickly bloated, and is interested in knowing if players actually enjoy ruling big pools of dice multiple times over. I strongly suspect you are reading skills are not potent.
>>97836349Do you build the board during the game?I've been looking up these board games on BoardGameGeek but I always prefer a QRD from anons as that tends to be better. It DOES look a lot like what I have in mind. I'm trying to avoid many auxillary pieces or boards. I considered having a deck of technology cards to add another dimension to the game, like the Catan development cards but they would be actual technologies giving you minor boosts in certain situations to shape how you play, but that would be my limit. I might have army tokens that move about the board, but actual attacking cities to conquer them will be an Illuminati-esque mechanic where you roll 2d6 and "spend" soldiers like money to influence your roll (and it will be against a fairly hard number, like 10 base, or +4 difficult for 14 if they spend stone on walls for their city), and so far the army has just been an abstract currency you spend to attack a city, and have to pay more resources in Food depending on distance between your nearest city and the city you're trying to conquer.
>>97838939>Do you build the board during the game?Yes and no. Maps are made in setup but most tiles are face down. However, when you explore them, you get some agency on how you place them for your benefit (or the opponent's detriment).Cities in this game have size which increase by building stuff on the central piece, and the size helps toward providing stronger actions.To answer your original question, I don't really care about rolling dice, and prefer to keep randomness to a minimum, or at the very least have ways to mitigate it. Games like Castle of Burgundy do die randomness well since you have a multitude of things you can do with said dice and if you really need a specific value, you have ways to change the values rolled.

>>97827778>one number offpainno worries though bro desu I was thinking of getting a commission of it at some point anyway but I wanted to have something nice to reference, I want the scene/moment to be a big surprise for the player so I want whatever picture to have a big impact if that makes sense>spark got me out of massive artist's blockglad I could help :sunglasses:
>>97829662Pain indeed, and I totally get wanting them to get blown away by the gorgeousness reveal. I was trying to evoke a bit of that "spotted out from the ballroom crowd" feeling for just tat reason. Honestly though, if my stuff is nice enough to be a reference for a better artist, that's a win for being good enough to use for a reference, plus the win for actually getting a piece done.

hy does SM armor in 40k have such retarded design flaw? The knee area is always exposed whenever a marine isn't completely stationary.

>>97837707>>97837848Anyway Volcanic Doomfire and Infernal Flame Emperor deserved to be meta just like the equally old Simorgh archetype
>>97837856Salamangreat Heatleo shouldn't replace Volcanic Doomfire just like pic related didn't replace Simorgh
>>97837625It's based on concepts made in the early 80s by artists who clearly didn't study plate articulation. That's the IRL reason. There's no in universe reason, because the knee isn't a weak point in universe.
