>>97367761That was the one thing that had people skeptical of it being a set. Being otherwise perfect MTG adjacent magical fantasy, there's only 4 bendable elements vs 5 mana colors, but whatever I think they made due just fine with the evil characters, creatures and spirits making up black cards.

>>97370161If Thrawn doesn't get a special uniform, your guy doesn't get one either, buddy. Also, a buttonless greatcoat sounds stupid. Imagine putting it on. You'd have to basically shimmy in all the way. It'd end up looking like a woman's dress.

>>97353498>You know how hags always want people's children? They never really mention what happens to those..It's a near universal fairy trait in that region of the world. For a variety of reasons various unsavory magical people living in the woods constantly kidnap children. sometimes they leave a changeling, but usually they just steal the kid.

>>97353498>>97354047Would a hag fall under the umbrella of a Troll type of creature, or would they be a Witch, as a species? If witches were described as their own species of ugly magic women and not crazy women who collect candles and crystals a lot.

>>97371445NTA but the best thing to do is to use short but evocative declarative statements. What exactly do you have trouble with?
>>97371552Mostly having trouble getting different art styles. It's obvious what model made them because the new models have a distinct 'look'. Like I can try to gen in the style of 70s fantasy paintings, and instead it looks like Dall-e or gpt.

>>97371279> Cocky Skip TracerSkip tracers are your debt collectors and repo men, so I’m really having a hard time parsing out that kind of work with a “cocky” attitude. Honestly of all the bounty hunter types, the skip tracer seem like they’d be the most ho-hum and grounded; if not outright bored (I mean there’s only so many times you can be called every horrible thing under the sun before it loses all bite)

>>97370258Buddy. You can literally watch the loans taken out to invest in AI be piled on with new loans to handle those loans. Too much hypothetical money has been staked on something that isn't returning nearly enough, and that won't be returning nearly enough. A bunch of businessmen who don't understand technology literally bought into the hype, and now they have nowhere to go because the hype was just an illusion.

skimpy armor thread?
>>97361131If I wanted sexy I'd rather just include sexy rogue types who wear no armor at all but instead rely on their dexterity or some kind of magical protection so they can go around running half naked and it still makes enough sense to not break immersion too bad. Or go with the barbarian aesthetic who dont wear because... they just dont.Having chicks in bikini heavy armor and the game treating them as having actual heavy armor breaks immersion and verisimilitude etc. too bad for me.

Holy shit. How often are you people describing the minutia of what a person's armor looks like. "She's wearing brigandine and has red hair and a gaunt, angular face." Boom done. That is all the character description you need to give.

>>97370425The attack and defense modes are clunky, and the powers are just carbon copies of spells. The auto-scaling nature of augments doesn't exist yet, just some formally acknowledged "power chains" that aren't actually directly spelled out in the book (only the webpages). Honestly, even the XPH didn't really figure augments in fully, and it leads to some legacy issues because of it (Greater Teleport should really just be a Teleport augment and not a distinct power, for example). Because of the lazy rebranding of psionics at this point, it's just wizard but annoying and shitty, with bizarre rules that nobody likes such as each discipline having a different casting stat. Some people like to discuss the persistent power feat, but I see very little other reference to it, not counting the webpage content (sardior et al).

>>97371101I'm seriously asking you to read the rules for Magic the Gathering Pokemon and YuGiOh and you would find 99% of the effects possible in a card game. Seriously.
>>97371180It's rude to request something so demanding from people. I regularly play only 4 games and it'd take multiple hours to gather a list like that with just that limited knowledge. Also, with the context of the broader ruleset of each game taken into consideration those effects can mean very much different things in each game.In retrospect I take back my comment about a bot doing it for you. It'd do a very poor job at it. It won't get the intricacies of the rulebook of each game.

>>97371339>>97371338thanks...it's just, I know, you guys, played a lot of card games and are more knowledgeable than me on this subject so I thought it would be better asking people who knows a lot about card games, so I decided to ask you. sorry guys>In retrospect I take back my comment about a bot doing it for you.

Should an elven wizard be more powerful on average than a human one? Explain your answer.
>>97369507My players enjoy the racial restrictions and intriciaties I introduced (I don't take full credit either, I played back when this concept was hard-coded into the game and thought it made sense). My players have crafted amazing stories around playing not only to their strengths but also their weaknesses. Take one adventure I had where, a player character as a Human Wizard, was the apprenctine of an older High Elven player at the table. The two spent their time adventuring, gaining knowledge, tools, items, and so forth. He capped at Level 3, which is significant for a Human to achieve when he reached his 42nd birthday (again, a remarkable achievement in my universe but he had earned this). He retired into academia and started a magical assembly for his home kindgom he home brewed, and passed away at the age of 74. The High Elven player, being only 393 at the time, attended his funeral and it was a great moment of continuity and role play (because the Human player character played as the son of his original character). >Why are you writing so much about this?Because I think one of the biggest elements that people have lost, and I really blame the cultural fascination around superhoes and the gradual radicalization of society where individuals can never be wrong in anything (look at any modern debate, people refuse to concede points when they are objectively proven wrong and so forth ... I don't want to go off on a tangent here) - I think what people have truly lost is a sense of adventure. and I see that in TTRPGs. People think the only way to ennjoy a roleplaying game is by constantly succeeding, constantly winning, playing only to strengths, and having 0 constraints. This is what makes TTRPGs... flavorless, boring. Imagine any adventure story you can think of that had no hardships, no limitations, no points of no return, and so forth. It simply would not be a story.I highly encourage you to experiment with this concept at your next session!
>>97369470>Humans don't live long enough to master the arcane arts.That's a poor reason compared to straight up saying humans are just not good at using magic as elves, just as humans are not as strong as a gorilla.I could live 300 years and I doubt I'd be as smart as geniuses like Einstein and Oppenheimer. Magical geniuses could learn magic much faster than an average human, making their lifespan angle moot.
>>97369592>That's a poor reason compared to straight up saying humans are just not good at using magic as elves, just as humans are not as strong as a gorilla.A fair critiscism but I do make an objection, again, based on my setting that I developed along with my friends. Elves possess a natural tendency towards magic, and have a stronger racial connection to magic, however, humans possess the one thing that all other races lack, which is spirited ambition. This concept in our games is why humans push themselves to achievement. On a long enough path, humans can indeed master magic at a level similar to Elves but this comes at enormous cost to themselves. As I wrote, the greatest human wizards in my setting are, ironically, Liches. You are correct, even if humans had their lives magically extended to the same as elves, they would not reach the same level of power as, say, a 600 year old High Elven Wizard that maintained all his mental faculties (an impossibility, but we are playing hypothetical). The Human Lich, however, can tap into magic that High Elves forbid themselves to use, which can give them certain advantages in a magical duel. This is what makes the Lich an existential threat in my universe, because they break the "laws" of magic that Elves observe. Again, I have only had one player in the history of my setting ever go the path of a Lich and his character was later used as the foundation for a world-ending boss that another party killed 5 years ago. But that's getting off topic.
>>97369592>>97369635Personally I figure not only do different people advance levels at greatly varying rates, but that everyone has a natural "cap" where their natural abilities do not allow them to level up any further So a typical NPC might take a few months, or a few decades to advance to level 1-3, but never advance beyond that But a PC character can potentially go from level 1 to 20 over the course of a weeks long mega dungeon crawl because of their raw potential Very mary sueish obviously, but that is what a lot of people who play these games are looking for >>97356728Depends on the setting, but for standard DND I would say yes, elven wizards are on average more powerful than humans, and while maybe 1 in 1000 humans has the raw potential to become even a mid-level wizard, for elves it is more like 1-10
>>97370305>while maybe 1 in 1000 humans has the raw potential to become even a mid-level wizard, for elves it is more like 1-10I can 100% see this being the case

>>97371345>marvel is real touchy about their IPIsnt sony still desperately holding onto the man of spiders?
>>97371681That's why it was MARVEL'S spider-man
>>97370480>instead of shitty trialsIdk what are trials, care to explain?> blightIt could have been ok but was done so slop that it doesn't feel right. All the creatures that comes into play with -1-1 counters should have been ETB blight x instead.The design team I think was uninspired or inexperienced, even custom card designers could have told that this should have been one of the approaches for the mechanic.>behold?Behold is fine and actually done in a way to evoke cards from original Lorwyn. Remember the creatures that were cheap but you should reveal a creature of the same tribal type from hand or pay an extra mana price? Well with behold they have done a call back to that, even the shitty champions from og lorwyn returned with behold. And imo conceptually this return of champions were ok (although their individual abilities were shit & needed conceptual rework )>And let's not talk about the Strixhaven rejects...Oh yeah, people claim it is a Lorwyn 5 call back but that is 100% shit and I don't think anyone with a 100% functioning brain could defend this in their right mind. (BTW just now I noticed the fuckers made a bear in the set, the first ever bear of Lorwyn/shadowmoor...)
>>97371681Sony specifically owns the MOVIE rights to Spider-Man. Marvel has all the other rights. They're free to revoke Spider-Man from Sony when they want, and probably only have to pay a fine for breaking contract, or maybe only the other way around. Sony has to pay if THEY break the contract. I know the Insomniac leak from two years ago gave us some insight.
>>97371577All the anime adjacent UB as well as the anime based reprints have been well received and sought after, but instead of taking advantage of the anime adjacent product lines they have and bringing over Japanese promos, we have a year with Ninja Turtles and Marvel Capeshit. I think there'd be an audience for a Duel Masters crossover, even if people don't know the property, just because of the aesthetics and potential set mechanics.

>>97371341These are great anon, but the French flag is all white.
>>97371444Always funny see this joke coming from someone whose ancestors were repeatedly dominated by the French
>>97371417good idea>>97371430fair enough, its just that they ram right against thier hands so it looks a bit cramped. also, what material did you use for your flags? looks nice. I used print paper with an aluiminum foil spine.>>97371453He might be completely serious but misremembering the time period. I believe at some point in the early modern period the go-to French flag was largely white.Also, its hard not to observe how often the french loose despite thier largter size and them just continuing on due to the innertia of thier size. things like the italian wars, spanish succession, 100 years war. Sometimes size can be a curse. Hard to think of a major time the french state (not the french culture which was indeed a juggernaut) dominated outside of napoleon and maybe the sun king. The big medieval win Ican think of was the battle of Bouvine.
>>97371430>that freehandthats some dedication right there.
>>97371341Ittle self critique, I klind of wish I switched up who is carring which flag, and might do that. Think it makes more sense for the night to carry the flag of fealty to the french king and the common soldier to carry the flag of the national saint. I did it this way though because I wasnt thinking with my english and did it the other way around and I want them to generally mirror each other.
I need a new GOOD fantasy race to base a campaign region around.
