I mean that's just false. The men who draw things like OP are drawing a power fantasy in which being super-male means you "deserve" attractive women. Your version of the power fantasy plays out in romance novels--not Frazetta's art.

>>97348809
Do you think intention equals result? lol

>>97348863
No. I think you're trying to spin a personal interpretation into a universal truth. Those two things are not equal.

>>97348809
>being super-male means you "deserve" attractive women
Super-males know that nobody, including them, deserve anything. It's not a POWER fantasy if it involves gibs.

You have fixed exactly nothing. It's really quite impressive how much nothing you've accomplished by changing the font size.
>sane default
A sane default would be building the content in LaTeX, to leverage its ability to take your content and drop it directly into a pre-prepared document formatting template with minimal work. There is a reason scientific journals use it to concatenate papers from multiple different authors.

>>97342362
>I feel like I'm the only one who actually likes the system.
Why is that?

>>97347993
Despite my many efforts to explain and streamline things, they still think everything is way too complicated.
They think there are too many skills, and that default penalties are too harsh. So I've introduced wildcard skills and taught them to use rules like Time Spent to offset default penalties. But they still don't like it.
They think hit locations are too hard to hit, range penalties are too harsh, and that too many actions take too long in combat. I try to explain how you can offset penalties or do things faster by using combat options like Aim, Evaluate, All-Out Attack, Telegraphic Attack, and Extra Effort, or bump up skill or buy special advantages or techniques to make things easier. Their enemies are also subject to all the same rules, so knowing how to use these options should give them a huge leg up over their foes. But they think all these rules are unnecessary. "I've shot a gun before, [GM]. Anyone should be able to quick-draw a pistol and make a snap shot at a target's neck at 10 meters with 95% accuracy. These rules are stupid." I'm a noguns, so they don't take me seriously when I cite real-life firearm statistics.
Generally, they think too many things give penalties, and don't like adding up penalties. I try to explain that these things which give penalties would just simply be impossible in other systems, and by leveraging modifiers they can make the impossible possible. They say "That's fine. Just don't let me do them then." Which baffles me, because when I was running D&D way back in the day, they were always complaining how they couldn't do anything.
One player also dropped out of the game early while complaining that there was "too much combat." But he said he's also going to be joining my other player's DH2E/Sector-X game even though that game is going to have even more combat. So that also befuddled me. Although, it could've just been scheduling issues that he had to drop out, and the comment was incidental. He didn't say.

As a thought experiment, how would I write up an ability that lets me send my mind back in time? Like reloading a "save point" in video games, but it can go to any point in the past since the time you first acquired the ability. I'm thinking it would probably involve Jumper (Time) with Accessibility or some other limitations. It should be possible to use with conscious effort, but also trigger automatically on death, so Reflexive should also be there.

wrong move

what are some good moves to always keep in mind? I've just now learned that a3 and h3 are often good to block off knights

>>97348512
Don't double fianchetto. Knights are good blockers of isolated pawns. Castle in the opposite direction for a more dynamic game. Keep bishops when the position is open, knights when it's closed. Chess is full of these type of principles. For single moves I guess they belong to opening theory rather than principles.

>>97348722

You're just a shit ass GM, if you call for a roll you should at least have 2 possible outcomes that you're interrogating the dice for, if you can only think of one there's no need to ask the dice for anything, just narrate the whole thing as an introduction to the actual scenario.
>inb4 muh illusionism and misdirection to trick the players
That shit may work if you're quick witted enough and your players drooling retards, from op story it was well apparent the GM was caught off-guard.

>>97334598
what do you mean "forward"?

>>97334751
You don't NEED to do anything, retard. The players decide where they want to go and the players decide how they go about accomplishing their goals. If they can't find the key or no key exists, oh well. They can try to find an alternative method, or they can go do something else. There is adventure in every direction.

A halo of flies orbited her skull, like a constant droning crown. She raised one swollen hand and beckoned you forward.

Your stomach lurched. The air was thick with it; the vast, massive sweet-rank altars of rot looming behind her, cathedrals of corruption that pressed into the lungs and clawed at the eyes. Your nose burned, then ran freely, tears following in helpless sympathy.

From her own nostrils, viscous strands of snot slid downward. They did not splatter. They did not smear. Instead, they fell with deliberate grace, congealing upon her breast into three perfect rings, interlocked and whole.

She writhed in rapt, fetid ecstasy, and she smiled at you, slow and knowing. She could see the response she had drawn from you by glancing at the tinting of your pants. She leaned closer, breath hot and sour, and pressed her blackened tongue to your lips.

You did not pull away.

You took it into your mouth and tasted her. Pain flared at once; her saliva burned, raising blisters along the soft skin inside your cheeks, but you swallowed the sensation down, welcomed it, let it mark you.

Don't know about here, but in more normie oriented hobby spaces (in my local wargaming and RPG groups as well as on normie social media like facebook) I've definitely seen a significant influx of noobs who are interested in 40k, but don't really know or understand much about it other than SM2 or (even worse) some shitty youtube videos/reels which appeared due to it

You forgot the prime suspect of Space Marine 2
Where I work I don’t need to do much so I usually end up cracking open an old codex or one of the Heresy Libers to read through to pass the time and I’ve had more interactions with newfags than I can count who call themselves “massively autistic warhammer fans” but couldn’t tell you what the fuck a Tactical Squad is because all they know is primarislop

i think it will be streamlining high powered games in general what is next in store for NSR. Exalted and Scion are too much of a clusterfuck and the niche is ripe for grabs.
it could be the prime way to get younger people into TTRPGS since their whole influence has been 18 years of superhero movies and anime.
