why are many creators so afraid of making a setting with napoleonic wars era technology?
>>97285005Specifically technology? Having done this myself, I can tell you. Napoleonic tech is a level where armchair inventors think they can just steal a march on the enemy. Cartridges, explosive shells, repeating firearms, steam ships, ironclads, telegraphs, napalm, rocketry, anaesthesia, antibiotics, etc. Once you have pre-industrial tech then chances shoot up that some dipshit will try and go full Dr Stone and there's no effective genre guardrail against it. Even bad players know you're not supposed to do it in D&D but they will try in later periods.
>>97286137Ney isn't a king or crown prince, if you include any old general you have legions of commanders who did more impressive feats of heroism and courage than Ney.
>>97286381DnD has all that shit you just listed >>97286384Nigga you just listed some random viking on Stamford bridge as an example and now you're trying to exclude Ney because he was 'only' a Marshal of the Empire and not a king lmfao
>>97285804>Retard takeNo, it's a normie take and that was the whole point of my post but it seems that you got filtered.
>>97285673>Just stand in a line and shoot each other, maybe just snipe a random officer and escape because anyone hunting you down is marching as a block of 800 men in a single paceThat's assuming battlefield conditions, which are far from the norm. You can very well go around swashbuckling as hussars, play the duelist or a "three msuketeers in the future".

>>97286025The plan is to have a solid gunline shoot the hell out if the enemy while the Assault squads and terminstors get up close and smash the enemy to bits
>>97285847I personally don't think bayonets are worth the points investment. Consider redistributing those points into something else.

Finished this group first day of the year, though the one furthest to the right was painted several years ago. Men at arms for the third crusade and later.
>>97286354Good weathering and the models look nice, but I would touch up the crosses and add a shade to the metal tbqywufrfr
>>97286313Again, it’s not about being ridiculous it’s more about doing the bare minimum and not even trying. At least, that’s how I see it. We all have to start somewhere
>>97286313The difference between you posting and asking for help and these people posting on a discord calling something done is that you will come away with ideas on how to improve. Those discord pictures were posted and they will likely not improve. So if you post with a question, like "Im done with this model what should l add or do differently to improve it?" You will have a better time.
>>97286441The crosses are meant to be painted that way, these lads don't get the fancy ones. 4chan has compressed the image so much you can't see all the weathering amd shading done on and helmets. See this image for fancier crosses.
What are some of your experiences with BRP or mythras? Favorite stories, characters, or supplements? I generally like running pulp or horror campaigns. Funniest story setup was how my players thwarted a small series of adventures I planned before it even started.>Players role up an old priest, a journalist, and basically fred from scooby doo. >Investigating a series of murders and disappearances. >Get captured thesmelves and wind up in a rundown factory converted to sort of look likea victorian mansion.>Meet an obvious vampire who uses them for basic company and conversation before planning to kill them.>My players escape, the frail priest manages to full nelson the vampire, and the other players manage to use a stake to kill him. It ended what I planned to be a multi session adventure in one night. It was a lot of lucky roles and ended up with being funny.
>>97280321yeah, there are a lot of small differences between runequest glorantha and mythras. RQG ican only do glorantha. It is aheavily built upon oldschool runequest. Mythras developed differently based on the two mongoos editions. Brp i find to be slightly worse. I do like brp derived systems though. Magic world is great. It is probably the best d100 system for faux dnd style fantasy along with openquest if you are into lite games.
>>97270691So how do those cons compare to BRP?
>>97280959brp is more generic and tries to simulate a lot of different genres of games. Most people dont even use it for fantasy because there is magic world as mentioned before which is a fantasy hack of brp+stormbringer.This mirrors my own personal experiences as well as i have played different stuff in brp but never a fantasy game with it
>>97280959>>97281060The initiative and action economy stuff in mythras is also better. BRP really emphasizes dex as the best stat for almost anyone because of it. Myhtras uses a combo of dex and int to determine action points or you can use the alternative of giving every pc the same amount. A lot of BRP supplements or spin offs can be hit or miss, especially form chaosium. The base game of magic world, but a lot of supplements are trying to fit stuff from other games int magic world with little alteration to make it work right.Recent chaosium supplements are notorious for being the writers thinly veiled fetish or political shitflinging.
What would people say are the most necessary or useful supplements to mythras/brp?I feel like monster island, book of schemes, and the sorandib supplement are pretty useful. The last one is mainly for the alchemy and engineering rules.Does anyone have any experience with clockwork & cthulhu or clockwork and chivalry?
ITT: confess your /tg/sins and devilish antics>be me, at FLGS>see some grogs playing a historical looks like maybe Bolt Action >approach and ask them where they got their Astra Militarum STL's. >handwave their reply, tell them I've been in "the hobby" for a while, I started two editions ago in 8th so let me know if they need any pointers
>>97283507I told people different start times for a game based on their level of flakiness and got them to show up at the same time. I sometimes sneak in Magical Realm shit like the party being hunted by brown Amazons who think they'd father strong daughters. I sometimes run games in secret because I don't want to hurt the feelings of friends whose playstyle I hate or think their personalities would clash with those of my favorite players. I don't consider online games real RPGs. It's like the equivalent of condom sex with a woman you find unattractive. You didn't have sex, you fapped into another person and your subconscious knows it.
Whenever someone here asks for a system recommendation, I always suggest 5e. Especially if it's a modern game. I've also noticed that I'm not the only one who does it.Awesome.
Ive lied about 80% of my dice throws over discord, even the bad roles are made up if it helps with the narrative make more sense. I just want to roleplay a fun story, not constantly die.
I periodically save and re-post AIslop pictures because people are incapable of not sperging about them and that makes me chuckle
>>97283507sometimes I ask my players to roll dice for a secret reason, but in reality there is none. I also like to insist on adding different colored dice to a pool as if they have a hidden significance, when in reality they do not.

>You all meet in the tavern of an isolated village. It's seven in the morning, and everyone is having their breakfast.>You see in the corner a young man in studded leather chatting animatedly with an older woman in heavy armor.>A young woman lets out a cheer as she beats a man of the same age in an arm wrestle. He wears a suit of gleaming gothic half-plate, while she wears a hauberk and gambeson. After the contest has ended, the pair enjoy a hearty meal of turkey and maize together.>An old man wearing a ragged cloak over equally ragged clothes nurses a cooling cup of coffee while watching their antics, stirring in a spoonful of sugar after an exploratory taste.>A woman sat on a stool by the bar takes in one last drag of her cigarette before she stubs it out in an ashtray. With that out of the way, she tucks into a pumpkin pie that is waiting for her.>A man with dark skin pays for his meal with several unfamiliar coins, before brushing past you on his way out the door. He wears a vest made of soft leather over a loose cotton shirt, and has a long sword in a sheath strapped to his back, ready to be drawn at any moment.>A young girl greets you animatedly and offers you menus. She asks if any of you were interested in buying some of the potato and rabbit stew that is currently cooking, or if you'd like rooms for the night. What does your latest tabletop character do in this situation?
>the party visits a bakery>my character buys a Danish>my character asks the baker "hey, where do these get their name?">GM gives me an angry look
>>97279180Hahaha! You got him! He thought the setting would have some sort of historical basis, given that the patrons are wearing armour and armed with historical weapons, but you showed him that it doesnt need to, as it's all made up! God, I bet you feel so clever right now! Do another one!
>>97285927>He thought the setting would have some sort of historical basis, given that the patrons are wearing armour and armed with historical weapons,people on earth don't wear armor to taverns, though. it would be a reasonable assumption that earth is not the setting
>>97285969Yeah, just like army men always get out of their uniforms when going to bars on Earth.
>>97285927Star Wars has armor and swords, but I'd consider anyone who draws the conclusion that it must therefore be a setting with some historical basis to be pretty fucking silly.>>97286386Uniforms are just clothing, and clothes are a lot more comfortable to wear when relaxing in a bar than armor.
I've spent the last year, studying, and designing a custom Arthurian set, originally intended to be based on Le Morte d'Arthur (like how P3k was based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms). However, as I continued to study, and look into different (and some obscure sources) this turned into a much more wider net. This set, which is no where near finished includes>Welsh Triads and The Magnibong>Pre-Vulgate Arthur traditions>Vulgate/Post Vulgate/Lancelot cycles>some English/Welsh fairy tales>and even a bit of the Victorian Arthurian revival (especially for art). I avoided the Italian and German romances entirely, and tried not to include weird outliners except when needed. Outside of art, nothing is sourced from the 20th century or onward. Also all art is public domain. I'm mainly posting here for feedback. Some will be art recommendations, flavor text (especially sourced) will be always welcomed.Comment too long.

Wanted to talk about advice on GMing, settings you prefer, and styles or issues you as a GM have. I generally tend to prefer dark fantasy or sci-fi settings rather than trying something a little different. I also tend to have a style, depends on the system though, where i have a combat heavy session or two and then a more intrigue/exploration focused session. I have been working on how to better balance games I run, but trying to tie that to timing a game session gets tricky at times. Another issue I noticed is that puzzle solving or investigative games can be a lot harder for a player to get into the mindset for than the dm. It is easy to think everything you planned makes sense when you thought it out in your head but the players might not have the same line of thought.
>>97218290>Another issue I noticed is that puzzle solving or investigative games can be a lot harder for a player to get into the mindset for than the dm. It is easy to think everything you planned makes sense when you thought it out in your head but the players might not have the same line of thought.Puzzles with specific solutions are stupid. Just put big-ass obstacles in the way of your players and roll with whatever zaney bullshit they invent to "solve" it. Don't even worry about having a solution planned. There's a giant impenetrable wall. See what they do. They'll go kidnap a griffon and fly, hire sappers to dig underneath, or raid an enemy army's camp to get a siege tower. Wind them up and let them go. You don't have to worry about "puzzles."
puzzle solving breaks most D&D players
>>97276278My issue is that even with an open ended basic puzzle, you get two people at the minimum arguing about how ever idea is stupid and would not work despite the dm seeming thrilled someone finally thought of the solution.
>>97283720They have been trained to expect penalties for wrong answers, whether in a game context or not: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."Instead try explicitly punishing inaction. For every minute that no one tries anything new, the situation gets worse.
>>97283800The arguments honestly even continued as I had monsters spawning more and more to attack them. Some players just get really stubborn over it.
Thread #02 Lean Winter on the TundraPrevious Thread: >>97090196Welcome to /un0/, an RP thread for playing a World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness Hunter. For any OOC questions about WoD/CofD, check the official general. >>97224887Rules:>We are acephale. There is no storyteller, we are not a quest.>This thread is based primarily but not exclusively in the nWoD/CofD game Hunter: the Vigil. However, Vigil is defined by being highly setting agnostic, with a system for creating entirely custom monsters that do not exist in other WoD/CofD games. Thus, you have significant freedom in what you want to play and what you want to hunt. Feel free to play a member of the Society of Leopold, or a member of the Lucifuge hot on the tail of a Lasombra.>Namefagging is encouraged but by no means mandatory.>Keep in mind that even highly experienced Hunters typically only have fractured pieces of the puzzle, and every table has their own canon.

>>97281232>Have you ever checked to see if you're cursed?I'm just bitching. I managed to have an uneventful Christmas. >hopefully the others don't bother ya.Now that definitely won't be happening. I'm no vampire expert, but I got a cellmate who knows them a bit better than usual. He says that vampires come in two flavors: Smart with a low profile and loud, aggressive, and stupid. The former basically never make it on Hunter's radar and if they do by bad luck, they prefer to just wipe our minds and move on. The latter make up a good 90% of the ones hunters actually fight, and trying to turn a whole New Years party sounds a lot like the latter. I'll be seeing them again.

>>97285660>>97286069If the difference is literally only a +1, it's not a feature valuable enough to be worth arguing in favor of.But you're rather disingenuously ignoring the fact that most martial weapons from Pact of the Blade and Bladesinger will be Strength-based, with the warlock or wizard not having any reason to have 16 Strength. So the bonus here isn't just the difference between 16 Dex and 18 Int/Cha, but also the gap between fairly substandard finesse weapons and the solid Strength-based options.
>>97286163>BladesingerBladesinger can't use two-handed weapons with bladesong, so there's little to no reason to not simply use a Rapier or other Dex options. >Pact of the BladeThe 2024 rules would require a Warlock to have 13 Strength anyway in order to use any Heavy Strength-based weapon, which are the only thing you'd be missing out on. Not much more investment to go from 13 to 14, at which point it's a difference of +1 between that and 16 Charisma.>it's not a feature valuable enough to be worth arguing in favor of.Likewise, it's not a feature impactful enough to complain about being bad design. At least, not if the complaint is purely that a subclass or optional feature is making a melee variant of a class 5% better with melee weapons than they would be if that feature didn't exist.
yeah i think instead of doing prep for my game on saturday im going to work on my unrelated homebrew instead.
even if somehow using the physical stat was better mathematically than using the mental stat, it would still be stupid. It's not about balance, but about a system that models things in a consistent way
