Because that's what we're being given and creating at this point. An amalgamation of things put together with various other things to make what resembles something cohesive but has little care put into it and is basically haphazard.
In terms of decks we used to call them "piles" IE spellcaster pile. Language evolves and a term to describe such conditions now exists so the term is used for it IE spellcaster slop.
The term can also refer to the input/new cards because they are equally haphazardly designed with a lack of consideration of how they'll interact with the rest of the game with a lack of restriction such as an archetype, type, or attribute lock.
Sure it can be cool but at some point it homogenizes things.

Ironically the term slop is also technically subject to being slop. Because there's no real limit to it's application it can be used wherever and on whatever. Homogenizing language and replacing many exclusive adjectives.

Did you miss the part where it's a fantasy world with it's own fantasy language called COMMON which is not guaranteed to be English/French? They may not actually say "brigandine" or "studded leather" in universe, that's just what is translated to you as a player so stfu and suck it moron.

Hell, even if. Is it historically justified to call it brigandine in the setting given that it's more associated with adventurers than brigands.
>>
>>97265287
"Studded leather" is not synonymous with "brigandine". Brigandine has plates not studs. Adding studs to leather does fuck all to increase defense. There is not and has never been any such thing as "studded leather armor".

On the spectrum of rubber forehead aliens to complete starfish aliens that are made out of silica and breathe methane, where are YOU specificially comfortable with. Does there come a point where an alien becomes too weird for you to "relate" to in order to include them in your games as playable races?

Personally I am fond of aliens that look plausibly like they could have evolved in a different world and have no distinguishable lineage to earth life, even if they share some superficial features.

star wars aliens are around the sweet spot for me. my limit is somewhere between the original trilogy and prequel trilogy. a player can be a guy with a weird lizard head like greedo, or a big hammerhead. they can have a set of arms or extra legs, maybe tentacles instead of arms, but they should be mostly humanoid. a theoretical actor should be able to fit within a costume of the alien. i wouldn't want a player to play a wacky prequel trilogy alien like sebulba or that cunt with the long neck

>What is this?
/TG/ DEVELOPED A GAME
IT IS PLAYABLE. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED.
EXPEDITION is a ~1880s era, Jules Verne-inspired retro-futurist, underground blood soaked adventurescape.
It is a Skirmish wargame. Two players with their own expeditions, on a hexgrid map, explore & fight each other for victory and profit.

3 versions of the rules exist, 2 of which have been playtested. The main one is 2e, to be found :

>I'm not sure if we need to make individual books for the mini-factions.
The only 3 I have in mind myself are the Abolitionists, the Lost Men and La Ombre, the last 2 exists but have not been polished enough in my opinion to warrant uploading.to the TTS mod (soon, I put some time on La Ombre as well in the last 2 weeks). The unifying thread to those 3 is that they are small groups with increasingly higer concept goals, from the mundane to the metaphysical, and having made pacts with fell powers in order to do so. Way I see it, Napoleon is the least relatable anti-hero imaginable. Every encounter with him needs to be made into some sort of Hoffmanesque scene. Malcolm is a lot more relatable, but he is still fighting a nationalistic revolution that we can't really see him achieving anyways. Abolitionists would be a more relatable way to showcase a deal with the devil made on good intentions. Anyways, that was the general idea behind the three being "put together"...

Since we're on the topic, I had some ideas rattling around to dump out. I never managed to piece them together into something I liked though:
>Tubman was living in New York (State not city) at the time of the raid
>New Mu takes slaves as seen with the Morlocks, probably human ones too, maybe several Americans
>Tubman had served as a scout/spy during the Civil War and led troops
>Confederato forces are running around in the 4th layer as part of the golden syndicate too, the same layer New Mu mainly lives on
>Also Atlan exists
Napoleon semi-accidentally on purpose unlocked his powers by shooting himself, Malcolm (was nagged by his GF) sought out the Shadow Palace on the 8th (I think), so my view is that someone/thing went to the surface and offered Tubman her deal. She was retired with a family at the time of the New York raid so unless someone went out of their way to get her going I don't see her moving from civilian life to a millitary one again. I kept working over the idea of her joining the long march on her own to help free captured Americans, but by the 1870s I think it would have been more likely she would have worked to raise money instead unless some mysterious force gave her cool powers to help guide the long march.

>Stage Coach as Renault
Like the War Wagon from that one film or a more classic wooden one? Considering the US' mobility gimmick I vote for the latter.

For lost men, do you want any polishing assistance? I wrote some of the current ones and can try to elaborate on what I was going for in the case of clumsy wording.

>>97265215
Honestly going as high power as you possibly can and playing exclusively in hell queue is the only time I've ever had fun. And even then the format is an absolute shit show where players can just win on turn 1 or 2 without you being able to do anything about it if you didn't mulligan into your perfect answer. The whole format is just inherently flawed because it's a format balanced around multiplayer but only being available as 1v1 on arena.

Actually, making it 1v1 is the balancing factor. Duel Commander is much more competitively viable than cEDH for a variety of reasons including architype viability and actually being able to score an event.

The strength is being one big huge never ending game with a ton of source material, no new editions or shit like that.

Its also a flaw because not everything has actual rules. & sometimes those rules have been updated or changed in another book somewhere down the line.

But another strength is being a dimension spanning menagerie of 80's heavy metal kitchen sink scifi & fantasy

So, how do 2e and 3e Infernals compare now that the dust has settled a bit? And what do you think of the 3e Signature Infernals compared to the 2e ones?
>>
>>97264783
3e is more constrained in a lot of areas, at least in terms of how you interact in a practical manner. Like if you go toe to toe with a Solar, he's more than likely going to beat your ass at actually achieving the goals you set out to do. However, you do things in a weird, wacky woohoo way that tends to inflict collateral (literally or figuratively) in place of sheer effectiveness. You do have a few really interesting trump cards that are harder to deal with, but you're no longer changing the type of game that's being played.

I don't remember any of the signatures

>>97264668
Some people from the Realm are obviously irreverent, similarly to, say, how people in the Middle Ages weren't always good Catholics and might outright war with the Pope. Catholic Church was still a big deal in the Middle Ages, though, as is Immaculate Order in the Realm. A Solar appearing on the Blessed Isle and trying to get people to help him would be like Satan walking into a medieval village and going "Hey, I might be Satan, but I'm actually a good guy".

>>97264674
Immaculate Order offers education, charity, protection from rogue spirits, spiritual certainty and comfot - which actually does matter to people - rules and social pressure that keeps the worst excesses of the Dynasty more or less in check, and also monks frequently demonstrate against behavior of the ruling class thhey find immoral, inappripriate and un-Immaculate and sometimes side with peasants during peasant rebellions. The Order does plenty, and the setting in every edition is written with the assumption that people on the Isle do, by and large, take their faith seriously. As I said, it's obviously fine to change that if something else fits your game better, but it's a big change, and the default setting is still one where people, inlcuding Dragon-Blooded, genuinely believe in what the Immaculate Order teaches. Go read the sidebar "Constructed Belief" on page 70 of 1E's Exalted: the Dragon-Blooded

>>97264723
Realm's peasants obviously have a raw deal compared to modern-day Western world, but they're no worse off than peasants anywhere else in Creation. Which is not great because peasants in general aren't in a great position, but it's not like the Realm's an uniquely or even particularly terrible society for its own. Now, with social Charms a Solar obviously can swing pretty much any mortal to his side, but just starting glowing golden on the Isle and expecting peasants to decide that this guy is cooler than their current lords wouldn't work in the canon setting.

Recently I was thinking about alternative combat systems.

I remember someone talking about instead of HP the payer has a Jenga tower and he needs to remove peaces once hit, the skill is to remove peaces without the tower collapsing


So I started thinking.
For example what if the combat somehow involves cups and balls?

Instead of a D20+modifier nonsense why not change it up? Why not give a player 10 balls or legos or whatever and to win an encounter the player needs to land 2 balls in 1 cup?

There can be variants of this like a super hard encounter demands the player lands all 10 balls or what about reducing the size of the cup with the difficulty of combat?

What if we implement a fate system from Talisman for the players? What if legendary bosses have something like that for themselves? And can negate the players victory?

What if different monsters use different "balls" like for example some bone golems will be you throwing legos into cups and zombies are aluminum balls while naga can be gummy bears? That actually makes the monster feel different and not a copy pasted set of numbers. Also the different aerodynamics of these "balls" are part of the fun.

This is why “why don’t the woofs ask ancient spirits what they need to do to fix everything?” doesn’t work, those are too autistic and absent minded to help them in a coherent way.

All CWMMP novels are the best of the best of the EU. Sure the RotS novel is good but I wouldn't take it over Labyrinth of Evil or Plagueis or Dark Rendezvous. Plus it technically isn't totally canon since it has shit from older scripts
Also Council aren't retarded, they're arrogant and foolish which Palpatine points out. Too comfortable sitting on their little ivory tower to realize how the galaxy would completely support the Empire at that point in time.

Alien interface organism.

Basically, aliens use custom printed biomorphs instead of space suits, when you come to a new planet its easier to simply copy the template of the existing local life forms and use whatever THEIR evolutionary optimizations are for the local environment than it is to try and solve all of those problems yourself on short notice to keep your true self alive on a planet wildly different than what you were evolved for. If you are a methane-ocean jellyfish creature, life on the surface of the Earth is never going to work very well without massive life support systems and robotics. So instead of that, you whip up a human/jellyfish creature hybrid thats human enough to survive on Earth but jellyfish alien enough that its compatible with your brain patterns and then download yourself into that to walk around on Earth and talk to humans with.

if you are going to do this anyway, you naturally would also design the interface organism to be as broadly attractive as possible to the species you are communicating with, making it more likely that you will be accepted and treated favorably. There are almost never downsides to being considered hot.

So what do aliens talking to humans end up as? Different varieties of space babes. Space hunks might *seem* like an option, but male humans are more likely to feel intimidated by a sexy space man, so that's counter-intuitive to the purpose of the interface.

In that specific example, it's implied they project a mental effect that makes them attractive to whoever is looking at them (since different aliens claim they have traits humans can't see). Tho even in that it's implied they mostly humanish
