>>97344827They're just like that, bad news on how the kit works, the axe guy's arm is molded to his leg so it'd be nigh impossible to repose.Also I'm kinda bummed the Blight Templar design wasn't the new blight kings. The massive bulky armor is pretty neat.
>>97344642Dark water Nurgle units are so goddamn peakI just wish they would give this same level of attention and love to the other Chaos God mortals and daemons
fella, anyone with a decent link for CDwarves tome?
>>97337190My issue is the rules of 4th suck shit, my community totally died out and i have no will to play, while it did well during 2th/3rd ed AoSI literally play Nurgle but wont buy any of the cool new Maggotkin as i just wont use it ever
>>97344873They're fantastic gonna be getting an extra 50mm base for pust to run as a daemon prince as well. (He is much smaller than the standard prince I will say)But lovely models, this year I'm gonna plan on getting nurgle all painted and finished off! Right now I'm halfway through my 10 blight kings, got 4 pusgoyles, pusgoyle boss, harbinger of decay, and now the darkwater gang. (And probably festus) Hoping to get better at painting gross skin tones and making wounds and zits look yucky.
Thoughts on Scion?
>>97344550The main core is just Origins & Hero. Demigod and God are basically just expansions for higher level play (though they do each add new pantheons).
>>97344808Technically the core is just origin since that is where most the mechanics are put and explained.
>>97344808>new pantheonsThe main reason to get the upper level books. Beyond hero, things start to get very silly very quick when it comes to powers.
>>97344808i see, thanks
>>97344855Origin and hero have their share of silly powers too like Flatlander letting you punch someone into next turn as heroic knack.
White Wolf died. But where's the replacements? DnD has hundreds of clones. But where are all the vampire/mage/werewolf clones? Is because DnD is more generic and easier to copy?
>>97344366>speaking english means you need to know some obscure local american slangnah i'll pass on that>>97344375well i want to know beforehand what the games are like so i can narrow down which one to read. yes i am not playing the games since my group plays 5e and if i want to play something different i need to gm. and for that i need to find a system i like.reading all systems to find out which one is good sounds like a huge waste of time, especially when there are places where you can ask people who have experience with the systems and know how they differ.do you think if i read all 686 pages of exalted i would understand the game like a person that plays it?
>>97344409>The actual definition is obscure slang>Reading is too hard, I need someone to spoonfeed my opinions to me.>I would have to literally read every single page of every single book to come to any kind of conclusion for myselfYeah bud, you should just stop. Gming is going to be too much of a mental load for you.
>>97344756>what is a hyperbole>ignoring the valid part where feeling of a system stems from experiencelooks like you're fishing. also why would i take your advise? you seem to have no insight into anything at all
>>97344795Fishing? What are you talking about? I'm not on a lake with a pole trying to catch fish, are you using some kind of obscure slang?
>>97344850no you're under a bridge weaving baskets. must be my eyesight

>>97344698why is this horse head with eye covering thing so pervasive? It's been a staple the online image gens for over 2 years now.
>>97344758So they wouldn't be afraid by the sudden movement of their enemies on the battlefield?
>>97344804no, i mean from a generation side. I still have one of the very first gens I ever made on bing 2 years ago which has that same general shape without the eye covering. And you still see people post stuff like it every few months or so.
I think the next revival movement in a sinilar vein to the OSR is going to be 3rd edition focussed. I think that granular, complex build focussed market isnt really served by 5e or pathfinder truly, and theres empty space in the market/community.
>>97299433>low crunch>feeling of 3.5how
>>97328301No, there's a couple really bad ones. I don't fault you for not knowing that, but they changed some really crucial mechanics for the experience.
>>97311412no, you'll just play the game. you know, the thing you're doing for four hours in-between making 'the guy you want'? did you know that in every fight you have in every edition of D&D, you're not rolling 20s every single attack? plebeians actually consider it a pleasant rarity when that happens. you and i, we may as well just have infinite moneys pre-rolling our dice until we win at the game.
>>97339485Pure delusion.
>>97299433i 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.

This game had such a kino setting. What is a good system to play a kung-fu RPG that involves a lot of punching?
>>97344818Yes, we can tell 100% of the inside of your head is penises.
>>97344410>No, I know what the rule is, but the rule makes me feel bullied, so you have to go by this other rule I made up, so I don't feel so bullied.Dog, just get up. Go play a videogame. You're letting yourself get bullied by pronouns.
>>97344843i think you've mistaken me for that first guy, >>97343817, or something.i'm not being 'bullied by pronouns' whatever that means. i think the pronoun is fine, of course you can use singular 'they'. if an author uses it, they've done nothing incorrect.OP is a he. i am a he. you could say 'he's being bullied by pronouns!' and that's all well and good. if i was a woman, i'd say 'actually, i'm a woman.'at a yoga class it would be exceptional that i'm a man. some admin could say, 'oh a new member, what's her name?' and...i dunno, i wouldn't explode with how offended i am, shit would make perfect sense.
>>97343817Nigga your a fruit who is actually mind controlled by wokeism. You literally can't see someone using "they" in its singular form with out frothing at the mouth about trannies. Go back to whatever pisshole you crawled out of.
>>97344865tbf it is a bit of a shift in culture. nobody would bat an eyelid at 'they' in say, 1995.but the preference for it over 'he or she', 'he/she' or even (in a relevant context like here) simply 'he'...yeah, that's all changed. nowadays people INSTINCTIVELY use 'they'.does the new wave of gender ideology have something to do with that? of course it does! but i still think it's a step in the right direction (and quicker to say/write).
Emotional support elf editionDiscuss elves.Post elves.Love elves.All elf lore, game stories art and any else that's elfy is all appreciated.Thread question: To what extent do elves share their wisdom and experience with other races to help them emotionally and psychologically?previous thread: >>97278632
>>97343649now that you mention it it does seem like religious differences often is the main source of difference between dark elves and normal elves. I think they're generally beyond synchronization however, would probably be comparatively easier to convert both groups to a new common religion
>>97344466>must hire elves for mining protection>gets kidnapped by goblins and needs rescue by elves>brothers get killed by dark elf >dark elf takes over mine>needs elves help to take it backall in all it was the worst week for Gundren Rockseeker
>>97344769Maybe. It also seems that having a matriarchal society vs patriarchal is another main difference; maybe some sort of gener-neutral doctrine would be the best compromise.
>>97344781doesn't that appear down-river from religion though? Or does their way of choosing leaders influence their religion? Also there are exceptions in leadership for both groups
>>97344828Yeah, that's where you have to philosophize the role of religion in society and debate further about in-lore applications of religion in worlds where religions are provably correct, but that seems like a tiring conversation for a game forum. As for the exceptions, patri and matri -archies aren't usually that strict. Like, the UK is a patriarchal society and they've had multiple queens and three woman prime ministers. Meanwhile, the most popular matriarchal society IRL are Jews and Jews have unquestionably had kings, and Israel has had many male Prime Ministers. It more reffers to norms and inheritance. EG how you most likely have your dad's last name.

>>97311994What are some good resources for when you want to add an element of randomness to your world-building?
>>97343614AD&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
>>97343295Yeah.
>>97344184Cool bugs. Sort of remind me of earwigs a bit.

>>97331023Have you done an "If I did it..." character yet? Someone who seems to know way too much about the crime and posits ways it could've been done more cleanly.

>>97311755The main thing it is good for is finding repetition and sentence structure issues. I wouldn't trust it on much else.
Besides Shadowdark, are there any other TTRPGs that have playable goblins?

>gameplayFor Centaurs, you should be able to use them as mounts when not in combat if they're lightly armed & armored. I think you could ride into battle with them and fight on their back without overburdening them, depending on your loadout. Squeezing into dungeons and caves might be a bit of a bitch, and your centaur companion may find themselves too cumbersome to accompany you in certain locations. If people in wheelchairs can make do, I'm sure a transmog potion or a shrinking potion might solve the problem.>fantasy settingsThey're more at home here for sure, like having a horse. Some taverns may give you a hard "no" for your centaur companion, but I'm sure regions that are steeped in centaur culture or adjacent ones have accommodations for their unique anatomy. If nothing else, they could help carry your camp supplies and other provisions. >loadouts for fantasyIf you're not riding them, I think they can be pretty well armed and armored- think tower shield and a mace/flail. They also make good spearmen, so I think they'd be comfortable wielding a halbard and similar pike-style weapons. This would be with them wearing plate mail cuirass for the human portion and chainmail curtain over their horse hind quarters, or perhaps some specially fitted Gambeson. Other plate sections could be fitted to their horse body as needed. Archery and crossbows seem like they'd work for ranged options. I've not considered them using magic, but having a fairly mobile spellcaster seems cool as well.
>>97276298No.
>>97341123Yes.
>>97325229I tried, quite a comfy exercise
>>97344760This is good! Nice work anon
>>97344806hey cheers, I''ve always had a fondness for pretty much any horselord culture that once roamed the pontic and caspian steppe, perfect for inspirations regarding centaurs
Lets talk about what makes a player or GM truly great? Is it how a player makes their character, roleplay at the table, a GM who is very descriptive, etc.Or we can share stories about really good players or GMs we met at our own tables.
>>97336205Speaking as a perma-GM I’ll just do players>Can pay attention for several hours at a time and remember things not just from today but from weeks/months in the past in reasonable detail>Possesses critical thinking skills and a basic level understanding on how things work in reality (they don’t need to know the fictional stuff, that can come later, but you should know things like “water flows downwards”, “smoke will fill a room if there is no opening for it to escape”, etc.)>Has curiosity and asks questions about the things they encounter in the game. I swear there’s little worse as a GM than to present something, and just be met with dumb silence>Sucks for autistic people but it really helps if you’re able to read the tone of conversations, the situation, as well as the room of players itself>Is not a narcissist >Hygiene and manners when in another person’s house. >>97336368> not politically brainrottedUnfortunately a huge problem in current year. I do not care to seethe about what trump tweeted nor about gay people I am here to have joy when you find the safe key I placed taped under the toilet tank’s lid
Good GMs run fun games that instantly deliver on a premise:>"we will be running a game where the players are high-end art thieves in the 1980s">first session cold-opens to a giant mansion with masked security goons where the party must decide how they're going to steal a priceless statue in the foyerBad GMs run campaigns that struggle to find their footing and waste time:>same premise as above>first session is about the players meeting an NPC who will pay them to steal art, also the players get attacked by bandits>GM runs out of steam before the giant mansion heist because they planned three sessions of prerequisite plot beats
>>97344439Mmm you’re presenting things poorly to help push your argument. Often a lot of the fun in heists comes from before they actually begin in the recon, resource gathering, and planning stages An in medias res cold opening removes the opportunity for that, and vastly limits the amount if approaches the players could have taken
>>97344484>Mmm you’re presenting things poorly to help push your argument.both of those examples are things I experienced
>>97336416>There's people that always comes late, or doesn't read the group chat, or says they're not coming at the last minute "because they're tired" (while they work 20 hours per week and I can touch 60)...they don't have the balls to say they don't care, or they don't even realize it, for them the game night is just something that is there, if there's something else to do they deem better, they do that without a second thought.I've had to explain this to quite a few gamers, mostly in the context of them being annoyed at not getting invited.Our most serial flake is the kind who will bang on about 'not having the spoons' to sit through D&D, but will have a miraculous recovery when he wants to play video games ordinary something that just so happens to be less effort than a 20 minute drive.Fuck those guys, calling your time and energy 'spoons' to garner sympathy doesnt mean it automatically gets priority over everyone else's. The 'spoons' of the four people you messed around and who's now have to make other plans are never considered, naturally.
Is it better to have the monster races more monster, or more human? Is there a better middle line or is it just better to err on the side of 'keep them bestial'? Art is from the veil rider rpg
>>97343404What's between her "legs"? A mouth or a pussy?
>>97343588I don't. I make sweet, consensual love to the uwu spider-girls.
>>97343404The ideal is to have something that isn't just going to get treated as a human with pointy ears or horns.If you're gonna go through the trouble of including monster races, they should feel distinctly inhuman in some way. Be that culture, behavior, mechanics, etc.
>>97344600I assume giant spider legs count?>>97343905The the veil rider game that have their reproductive parts down there.
>>97343404Its easy to look at this character design and see advantages: wall climbing, presumably increased carrying weight on those legs, perception bonus from multiple legs, etc.What would the downsides to a spider-taur be, ignoring for the moment any social ones? What would such a spider person actually be worse at than a human? The two that come to mind for me are "armor becomes a problem, making them squishy in a fight" and "have trouble fitting into small spaces". The former is significant, the latter mostly isn't. Spiders are actually really good at squeezing through cracks and stuff, so I imagine that a spider-taur will be able to get through a human sized doorway or hall just fine, even if they will look weird doing it.
