>>97360673Bitch, none of you corrected the guy who spelt Yozi as Yozy for years on end. I'm not going to apologise for shit.>>97360776Sadly no, in 2e. 3e, who the fuck knows?
>>97361123>While osmosisposting is a problem, getting a name wrong might well just be a case of remembering it wrong. At some point in these threads I remember getting unreasonably annoyed by someone repeatedly calling Salina something like Serina, but that anon appeared to still kmow the substance of the lore while getting the name wrong.I'll be honest, while the Low Key thing is a tip-off, I'm pretty sure he's osmosisposting rather than having read the source material without being biased ahead of time because the way he described No Key is very reminiscent of the way I was wanking him in the threads to prove a point on mortal potential a few years ago. I thought it was just a mistake last thread because he hadn't done that yet.
>>97361123The game IS in the wrong, though, because white wolf contrarianism is shit. I will not stick up for "what's written" if it's bad
>>97361763A lot of the time people complain about stuff that is neither bad nor contrarian, though, merely not in line with excpectations based on memes and Internet arguments.
>>97361795>what is essential to exalted?>SLS.>Contrarianism.>More than that.>From what I see, the best of Exalted is rooted in profound dissatisfaction and oftentimes anger at the way most RPGs are written. You know the economy section of the 3e DMG, with the ridiculously simple try at simulating a fantasy economy?>I am convinced Manacle & Coin was a reaction against that and other things like it. "Other RPGs have stupid, fake economies, so Exalted will have a real one." A real one that actually ends up being much more gameable than the stupid fake ones, as it happens.>Exalted is about a lot of things, but one of the things it's about is smart people trying to show everyone else how it's really done.>In the case of 1st edition it was largely a success. I am not convinced 2nd edition accomplishes it very well

>>97361406>TQNot much, just whatever looks cool. I used to make a shit ton of Maschinen Krieger kits but miniatures distracted me from it
>>97361406star wars legion, i have a solid force for all the armies available but my pride and joy is my separatist army. really fun game. i like the gameplay a lot and it's my sci-fi wargame of choice as i hate 40k.
>>97361406>What other wargames do you build, paint and play?There's no building or painting involved with them, but I play GMT hex map wargames.>What do you enjoy about them that you don't get from Warhammer Fantasy?You get the operational level of warfare which is different from Warhammer. I also get to play them with a different group of people, mainly the history nerds in my family, while Warhammer is something I do with friends.A bit of a tangent but I'd LIKE to play other miniature wargames, I just don't have the time. Painting up my warhams takes all the time as it is. I have a little conspiracy theory that James has been upping the details on their miniatures with pointless bits and pieces that anyway get drowned in the noise of the model and you won't actually notice them when you have an army on the table. I believe this is done deliberately to rob people of their free time so they are more locked in on Warhammer and don't get the opportunity/time to try something else. I'd be curious if anyone else had that same thought.
>>97361575Half the reason I collect VC is for the big tiddy goth gfs
>>97361406>TQOnly other game I play is Necromunda, but thinking about getting into Blood Bowl.Here’s a picture of my most recent Battle March game, my friend finally won with his Goblin Confederacy, I made a bit of a meme list and shoved a rune of immolation on my cannon bc he always goes straight for my artillery. Despite the loss, the explosion took out two entire full strength units, which was a very fun moment.Post your recent games.

>>97359224They're all undead, so I assume Is necromancer themed or maybe a curse land where the dead can't rest
>>97359280It resists fire damage from nonmagical attacks. A fireball is a magical attack. It does not resist it.
>>97359288Oh I see, you appear to have confused games with some other medium.Encounters don't have themes. The players are encountering those creatures because those creatures happened to be there.Zombies, ghosts, and mimics can move. They can travel to locations where creatures of the other types are present.
>>97359231NTA also not DnD but my players exclusively talk OOC during combat to optimise everyone’s decisions and I have to remind some of the more tactically-minded ones to actually leave some decisions for the rest irregularly.
>>97358655Yes, nu-D&D players need encounters to be scaled to their levels because they're just going to rush in expecting to have victory handed to them instead of scouting ahead first and assessing whether they can actually win it and avoiding it if it doesn't seem like they can.

This general can be very frustrating at times.
what's worse is a DM with two separate two-year long campaigns with loyal, punctual players and now im very confused and i totally forgot why or what for in the first place.

Anyone use pistols or muskets in their Campaign?
>>97361686I always wanted to play a musket armed halfling, the idea just sounds amusing to me
Was the Satanic Panic REALLY that bad or has it been overblown over the decades?
>>97361744>atheist doesn't care about truthand water is wet
>>97361745atheists trust whatever scientists say not based on fact checking but solely on the fact that the guy saying it is a scientistfor example, the vax was deemed absolutely harmless because the scientists said sowhen some joe schmoe read about it how it's produced and what how it affects the human body and how the whole thing was rushed to meet the quotas, he was shot down because he was "fearmongering" and "not a scientist"then healthy people started dropping dead and/or getting their faces twisted and suddenly the vax "may" have some drawbacks on "some" people but now it's a fact because the scientists said itthen the pharmaceutical companies admitted it was rushed but it was ok because the science agreed with the joe schmoe but you should never listen to the joe schmoe who did his research without bias and using his own brain. He commited atheistic scientist heresy and should be burned at the proverbial stake
>>97360557Ah yes, it was called "historical inevitability" I believe.
>>97361806Again, you're projecting your own way of thinking onto people you deemed your enemies for some reason.You can do double-slit experiment in your own garage, btw.
>>97361857>I don't agree with you so you can kill yourselfwhy are atheists so morally evil?
How much would/should changing the default setting from High Medieval to Late Bronze Age change the game? For example, lowering AC across the board to simulate the lack of general armour. How much would that affect balance?
>>97357368Being English, I find it most useful when they fight one another, and have no desire for them to stop.It's the only thing that distracts them from gang-rape and shystery.
>>97357174They are but I feel OP's questions. Wanna run a Bronze Age game? So what? Just... use another game/system, but take a buncha stuff out that doesn't fit? That sucks and isn't fun. It's what we've been talking about solutions to.
>>97357286There are more jeets that learn English as a first language than Europeans (excl. colonials). ESL means nothing ever since India got hooked up to the internet.
>>97355098Based on what, anon? Be specific, offer sources.>>97355118Alright, I'll remember that. Indus Valley Civilization was just what I remembered from my high school history lessons.
>>97350722>For example, lowering AC across the board to simulate the lack of general armourYou should really run something that isn't D&D instead of repurposing it for something it isn't meant for. But if you're going to do it anyway remove the ahistorical items but don't nerf the ones that stay, there isn't better gear for it to be worse in relation to and it's not like martials need to be shittier.
What's your theory for why all the talent is leaving Leder Games?What’s your worst/best board game break up story?
>>97361333>>97361540cont.>factions7 in the base game: 6 aliums with one generic hoo-man faction on the flipside of each alium. I would say they all have a pretty good niche in their playstyle which is based in the core concepts of the game. These are good at expanding, these are good at research, these are good at fighting, these are good at building type of thing. I have 4 expansion races, and kind of similar to Dune's expansions, they are interesting but trend in a more weird direction that doesn't flow quite as naturally from the core design or have as strong an identity. Unlike Dune at least, all factions are not inherently interlinked or balanced around each other being present, so it doesn't really matter as long as you like it. Just a small observation.
*final ahem*Last call for anon to participate in this years/BGG/S TOP NINEUse Pub Meeple's Top Nine generator and post your top nine gameshttps://www.pubmeeple.com/top-nineNewbies and the forgetful can check out /bgg/s previous 'Top Nine' results in the OP survey resultsSometime after this thread dies, I will finish the "scientific analysis", post the compiled data, and we can compare to where the generals darlings lay a year ago.VENERATE THE COUNT
>>97360931>new kitty for the collectionBUENO
>>97361540So its a little like building up your forces and upgrades before you go closer to the middle?Is there any comeback mechanic if someone else is just luckier with their draws?I believe theres no trading with other players or alliances or that sort of thing? >>97361551Ah, so everyone can play as humans, which have no special abilities if they wanted?
>>97361796>So its a little like building up your forces and upgrades before you go closer to the middle?Kind of. Most systems in sector 1 have NPCs but you can get lucky and find an empty space to expand in which will have solid planets. Then in the galactic center there's an extremely lucrative system that's always protected by a stronger NPC. Generally it will take at least a couple of turns of building up and improving your ships before you can properly engage the NPCs without having a 50-50 chance of just losing your small starter ships, but some factions are better at early combat than others. I took the galactic center on turn 1 once as the Eridani, which start with loads of money and decent starting tech.>comebackNone whatsoever. If you play particularly stupidly, you can be outright eliminated from the game. But generally, if you play smart, you can find opportunities to come back.>trading or alliancesNope, nothing of the sort. There's only a small resource incime bonus you can get by trading ambassadors with your neighbour, but that goes away once someone gets too big for their britches and attacks.Like I said, everything in the game leads to combat.>everyone can play as humansYes. They have no special ability as such, but humans have better fleet logistics so they are not entirely without advantages either.
realistically, how can I roleplay him?
>>97358481weirdly, VtM. I played him as a Toreador who uses Celerity for slow-mo, Auspex to boost gunplay, and he wouldn't stop fucking monologuing about his cynical dreary life.
>>97358481Play either Wushu, Feng Shui or Outgunned, while being after a glass of hard liquor and some oxy
Max Payne is one of those shooters like the original DOOMs that will always be fun to play no matter how many years pass. Also, it's one of the comfiest vidya around
>>97358589I don't remember Max fusing metal to metal at any point.
>>97360911>OutgunnedI've seen it suggested a few times, what's it like? Can it handle fast-paced combat well?

>>97359520You can use dice just fine. You can't use the faces to represent counters, but you can use the individual dice for that ie 2 counters = 2 dice. It's far better like this since most fancy deck boxes have a compartment for dice, meaning there's a lower chance of cheating since you can just pull them out/store them as needed.
>>97360891>You can use dice just fine. You just cannot use them the way that you were using them
what rarity is this jauzah? the whole card is shiny not only the art, but it's not starlight it's insane that ygo doesn't have colored rarity symbols like mtg. I've seen stores not even notice cards are QCR
>>97361757Ultra Rare
>>97361757It's an Ultra. Collector's rares are similar but have textured borders that in my opinion look kinda like fingerprints.
What can you do to make bandit encounters more immersive and interesting than the old ambush-fight shtick?
>>97359863yeah, thats who I thought you were.
historically bandits often came from military deserters, so you could run with that. Maybe instead of a ragtag band of shitters with bad equipment, they're a highly trained unit with Fighter Levels. Alternatively maybe they're raiders from a neighboring kingdom who are hired to disrupt supply lines on purpose.

>>97360398>>97360401quick rundown?
Funny emoug, in his early drafts, Tolkiactually used the word "Gnome" to describe Elves, not Dwarves.The "Wise" Gnomes: Tolkien liked the word because it sounds like the Greek gnome (intelligence/wisdom). In his early Book of Lost Tales, the Noldor (the most intellectual and craft-oriented Elves) were called "Gnomes." He eventually stopped using the word because popular folklore (influenced by 16th-century alchemy and Victorian garden gnomes) had turned "Gnomes" into small, earth-dwelling, often comical spirits.In general folklore, the lines between dwarves, gnomes, and kobolds were very blurry. Both were earth-spirits who lived underground. However, Tolkien specifically moved his Dwarves away from the "gnome" archetype.Almost every dwarf name in The Hobbit (Thorin, Fili, Kili, etc.) and even the name "Gandalf" was taken directly from a list called the Dvergatal (Catalogue of Dwarves) in the Old Norse poem Vöouspa. The idea of dwarves as master smiths living underground, associated with stone and mining, comes straight from the Norse dvergar.The "Greed", The "dragon-sickness" or obsession with gold mirrors the Norse dwarf Andvari, who guarded a cursed hoard.What he invented (The "Modern" Dwarf):Tolkien gave them a secret language (Khuzdul) and a deep internal history. He famously compared the Dwarves' history dispossessed of their homeland and wandering among other nations to that of the Jewish people, which added a layer of solemnity and tragedy not found in most folklore. Before Tolkien, dwarves were often portrayed as ugly, maggot-like, or purely mischievous. Tolkien made them brawny, honorable, and formidable warriors. He intentionally used "Dwarves" (plural) and "Dwarvish" instead of the then-standard "Dwarfs" to distinguish his "elder race" from the "dwarfs" of nursery tales and Snow White.
>>97353846>What would a "Dark" equivalent to gnomes be like?A normal gnome?
>>97353846I mean, D&D already has Deep Gnomes, svirfneblin. They're paranoid, greedy and solitary master-trappers.Maybe explain why you're looking for something else?

>>97360698>Dude, Nu-Lorwyn limited looks straight up fucking terrible.That was my experience with test drafts. Goblins felt playable too.The amount of recursion is just vomit-inducing. Half the games you literally can't get even a single fucking thing off the board, no matter how hard you try. And the games where recursion isn't a problem just devolved into stagnant boards, where all the high-toughness creatures made to absorb Blight costs can't do anything, and you can't Blight anything to break through because that would lower the toughness of your creatures and let them kill you.It's fucking AWFUL. Like straight up abysmal shit and might be one of the worst limited formats ever.
