I think that's too harsh
it's a subtle enough reminder, not everyone dissects every page like we do
and a good setup for doing something with the alignment subplot
although obviously I reserve the right to retract my praise if later we get 3 pages of alignment mechanics exposition dump and characters discussing what it means for Belkar specifically

Christmas edition

▶What is Kingdom Death?
Kingdom Death is a tabletop miniature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.

▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?
Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.

Prologue Narration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLc8dHv0Ac

The Game is broken up into 3 phases:
1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.
2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.
3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.

I will say its mostly just been bad luck. I am a statistical anomaly with how bad my luck is with and game involving dice. Also our first two runs we did completely blind and did not meta, per say. I do feel we are much better then when we first played.
>>
>>97233035
Gotcha. Well, I wish you better luck in the coming year, then.

Also, another thing I forgot to mention with SotF, is that per Poots directly the "you must keep this result" part of the text only means you can't go back to the original result, not that the new result can't be rerolled. Also, SotF rerolls on multi-die rolls such as SotF intimacy will reroll one at a time, not both.

So in short:
- Anybody present can reroll any die. During settlement phase, any survivor can reroll anything. During hunt and showdown phase, any departing survivor can reroll anything. I assume this counts scouts too? Haven't played since GC came out like I said but it seems to fit the pattern.
- The same die can be rerolled as many times as you're willing to throw rerolls at it.
- When rerolling a multi-die roll (such as SotF intimacy or an attack roll), each reroll only affects one die.

It is easy mode but it's how Poots says it works so I guess that's how it is.

About to try and GM my first Exalted game, using 3e. I've done VtM 20th anniversary before so a lot of the system is recognizable but for my 2 Solars what kind of scale are they going to be starting at? I was envisioning them running around the Scavenger Lands since one of them is a runaway from Lookshy and was going to pick a city up the river as a starting location. Should I expect with their powers (One is a Zenith one is a Twilight) that they'll be taking over that city through social manipulation or raising armies out of the citizens and on a march of conquest at Essence 1? I'm used to improvisation but just want to know if I should prepare things around a single city or do I need to be ready for them to be jumping from city to city like the Hulk and talk no justu'ing every mortal administrator into being either a loyal puppet or sex slave?

I just have my elves view everything that isn't an elf as a potential source of food.

Hey >>97165495, what about cool shit that can be done with fire magic that doesn't just rip off Fire Force? Especially if there's other magical disciplines that can be tied to fire magic, like potentially transmutation for instance. Same for water element magic like >>97220083 suggested.

Use your fire abilities to super-heat the ground and create your own blob of magma/lava to manipulate.

Previously: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96936967/

When last we met, we made G.E.T.S. (Generally Entertaining Team-built System). Thus far, it seems to be a fairly minimalist system.

Now, we shall make our first setting for this system.

If your proposed idea gets doubles, it is canonized. Any canon characters, worldbuilding, themes, et cetera can be modified (but not outright contradicted or discarded) by triples, quadruples, et cetera.

Let us continue.

All random chance is based on drawing from a pre-shuffled deck of cards
Modifying or reading this deck is possible for certain magic users (Including enemies)
This deck contains "Calamities" and "Miracles", the equivalent of crits
The deck has a joker, and when it is drawn the deck re-shuffles

(What each card means is in a look up table, many are situational.)
(None of them are "Wacky" and none are instantly obvious such as "The sky turns red".)

God is dead and heaven is falling to disarray
There are many wars yet to be fought by his former followers
Some factions maintain that all is a test and the truth will someday be revealed

Angels themselves are meant to be one time use, to be made and discarded by god as they please. Each player (And each angel in general) has a single miracle that they are built to cast. They are usually pretty strong

Also there are cute agender cherubs

At some point are we going to stop rolling? take the better ideas and fill in the blanks?

Been serious since 3rd edition (late 90s)

They have the same general level of xenos cooperation as they did in 3rd Edition, where you had Imperium working with Eldar in 13th Black Crusade and what not

>>'member when Salamanders were "reverse albinos" (Caucasians with actual black skin) instead of space wakandans
Their race was never specified, just that they were dark-skinned with red eyes due to the conditions of their homeworld

Be sure to give the players the social status that lets them participate in society and intrigue so that they aren't just stuck watching NPCs do stuff and can actually be the protagonists of the story

And yet HE'S actually put together a group, with players, and is out there running the game. That's makes him not only a better gamer than you, but a better human being than you.

Fuck you, kill yourself, and get out. You're too pathetic to even post here.

You know /tg/ is shit when people are upset at you for noticing your GM is incompetent. If someone invited you to a game, there actually fucking IS a minimum entry requirement. You should not invite people to a game you care so little about you haven't even bothered to learn the rules. I mean, come on, how is that too much to ask for? How the fuck are you guys actually so lacking in self-worth that you think it's acceptable to be invited to a game where the GM hasn't learned the rules? That's like being invited to a dinner, and you show up and it's not done, burnt, or raw; it's missing entirely because they simply decided not to bother! Why the fuck would you invite someone over for something, and then not bother with the bare minimum? Hey man, if you don't give enough of a fuck about playing a game to learn how the game works, maybe you shouldn't offer to run shit!
That kind of behavior is so incompetent, lazy, and disrespectful that it boggles the mind.
Ok, fine, be grateful at a base level to all people for wanting to spend recreational time together with me, I feel that, but at the end of the day... Are they a fucking retard? I can be polite to some inept dipshit if they have a profound mental disability like Down Syndrome or something, but it's actually totally fine to expect the bare minimum from people who aren't fucking disabled. You should be able to go into a game trusting that the GM learned the rules, that's not too much to ask.
If you volunteer to run some shit, fucking read the rules. Matter of fact, reading the rules should be your number one priority before you go running your mouth about running it at all. How can you even know you like a system if you don't understand how it works? Huh? Is that just irrelevant? I feel like I'm taking retard pills even trying to understand the point of view where it's not taken for granted that the GM has read the fucking rules.
It's actually ludicrous to expect anything else.

you are absolute dumbfucks and if your fantasy version of /tg/ with no generals were to become a reality, you would be the first person to bitch when every single thread inevitably becomes some inane one-off question about 40k lore, D&D or MTG. It will be nothing but slop threads as far as the eye can see and its thanks to generals that we ever get to talk about /awg/ or /hwg/ or obscure games.
