>>97221998Yes because there are a non-insignificant amount of people who pay that money purely for small bits of cardboard.
>>97229189Group. Though I have learned that 2 people is better with two people then 4. Players, rightfully so, really, like to see their favorite survivors do cool stuff instead of being efficient sometimes and can lead to more dead settlements.
>>97231868Survivors doing cool stuff that eventually lead to dead settlements is a far more fun cause than playing it safe and boring in order to lead to a guaranteed dead settlement but longer.
>>97231554It's not the damage that is the problem. You could remove the damage and it'd still be a dangerous card, though obviously substantially less so.
>>97231868I always liked 3 more than 4 or 2. We each get our own survivor, there's one group-controlled survivor that does mostly boring stuff and gets the boring gear, and if somebody's survivor dies they switch to the group survivor. It always worked out well. 3's a good number for banter, too.

>>97231916I was definitely thinking older dragons, but fair point. Some young dumb dragon hopped up on "bow before me I'm the master race" energy would make a decent melee opponent, I suppose.
>>97231918>>97231927These are some cool powers, in particular Twist of Fate and Deep Breath, but losing SR fucking hurts. I'd probably drop that.
>>97231918Then you can add the class levels and more back thanks to the retraining rules. You can turn HD into actual character levels because the System treats them as the same thing.

Not been able to post much due to Holiday craziness, next week should be a bit lighter. I have an idea for a Mu Revenant conversion by painting watered-down liquid greenstuff onto a Roman's face and then smudging in any features needed but it might not come out right. Only one way to find out really.
Finally got the Mughal book more or less done. It's a bit of a mishmash of different traits and clone units from different books, but I think it came out unique enough. Any feedback will be appreciated.

>>97231263you can check layer by layer with uv tools to see if there's a weird 1px hole wandering across the whole mini
>>97190377 Maybe you could fashion a tool out of a paperclip. Chisel end it or wrap it with a little bit of fine sandpaper. Secure the sandpaper with a rubberband or super glue, secure the paperclip with a hobby knife handle if you have the right socket for it (a set if sockets are handy so you can fix a variety of tools to it)
>>97210457 I'm a little new to FDM, coming from MSLA, but there are some things you can tweak. If you're using Orca Slicer, under the Quality tab, try reducing the Slice Gap Closing Radius and the Resolution values. Some things still won't print for me though, and I think I need to change the extrusion width --I'm also running .4mm so that probably doesn't help

Wait i just realized machinedramon doesnt have a X antibody form. They should fix that.
>>97231886Chaosdra X probably keeps that from happening.
>>97231906That's sad, he looks lame compared to machine imo
>>97231915>>97231906Yeah Chaosdramon loses most of Machinedramon's appeals. Just because it's "said to be" a more complete form doesn't make it so. I'd much rather have Mugen with AsMaria lights than deal with that round head meatbag eyes chaosdramon
>>97231987Mugen is a toaster powered by pure evil, it loses that something once it becomes a meatbag.

>>97231387I always had the impression that the Synod and the Church looked like the same premisse mirrored on opposite sides of the conflict, at least lore-wise. If that will be case mechanically, however, I'm not so sure.
Hey /TCG/My partner and i have gotten heavily into the lore and models. We just arent too sure where to start? We have the rules and what not but on the website ive noticed not all have STL links. Also i habe a 3d printer but with no idea how to use it yet

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.
>>97219648The kobold guides and the lazy dungeon master guides are pretty bad in my opinion. The lazy dungeon master stuff started ok if a little basic, but then went into shit not even about the games.
GM advice thread?
>>97218290Be a Master of both paths my sonWorld path) take the OSR pill, as in internalizing the following truth:- be like an Arena Master and a Referee, not a Director. Your job is to throw the PC in the scenarios you engineered, to move the set pieces and react to your players decision accordingly, not to be an illusionist altering the threads behind your screen to force your predetermined and inescapable decisions on the pc;- keep the world around the pc moving, the osr specific tool here is to keep strict track of time in all dimensions. Just as for the microcosm of combat rounds use calendars for days (where to keep track in advance of weather, factions actions and events to be) and proceduralized turns for explorations;- be callous but just, learn to advertise and telegraph dangers but never shy away from them, instead of fixing mistakes in post (fudging dice, use failing forward and deus ex machina tricks) convey openly the risks beforehand leaving ALL the responsability weight on the players decisions alone, make their agency truly matter;- treat combat (and by extension all sorts of scenarios) as a war and not as a sport, make terrain matter, make features matter, make morale matter, make psychology matter, make any of the pc interaction matter. The players are traversing a real field, not a theme park with triggerable events and puppets;- focus on a (per adventure) narrow theme, ask yourself what your game will be about. Hunting monsters? Tomb raiding? Street gangs war? The more specific the better.[Part 1/2]
>>97228205[Part 2/2]Story path) take the Hickman manifesto pill as in internalize the following truth:- have the players engaging with the world on a deeper level than what the game focus presents. Ask them a poignant, short and relevant reason (that may be honest to themselves or not) for their characters motives;- there should be overachieving events in motion the effects of which should influence the characters microcosms (and their decisions influence these events back), have them tackle with this spontaneously unfolding narrative;- make the world have verisimilitude, don't just throw random dungeons and encounters in random locations but try to make sense of them within the context of the world, even in post if necessary. Make notations of these reasons to keep this internal consistency for yourself and not to explain the world to your players. Leave them to make head and tail of it by themselves but reasons should exist nevertheless;- overarching events should culminate within 1 or 2 game session tops in a satisfying manner (as in resolutive). Make extensive use of in media-res to initiate the game and keep the pacing snappy!
Wonderful, was looking for this exact thread.I have been running games for 15ish years but have recently started delving into more narrative-heavy games. Currently running PF2e in a campaign that's a sequel to my previous DND 5e campaign.In the first campaign, the players were stuck in a time loop, and thus had very few consequences to contend with, up until they point they needed to break the time loop and align things to minimize the bad consequences.This next campaign is set after the time loop was broken, and the new characters are effectively tasked with stitching the broken world back together. The issue is, with the world in this very broken state, I've been experimenting with more complicated small settings that require some attention to detail/asking the right questions to pull apart the entire story. My mantra has been "nothing is random, everything has purpose" to sort of hammer this home. My issue is that in many many cases, all but one or two of my players seem to understand the consequences of taking actions without considering everything, and one of those players has been playing a dumb character. So in many circumstances, a good chunk of my party has been left feeling like they're getting railroaded or otherwise do not know how to influence the flow of the world. I've even tried dumbing things down significantly (e.g. the infected forest only needed to be healed by the party's druid) but I've brainwashed them into overthinking ( to the point where having the druid heal the forest was the 5th thing they tried because it was "too obvious"). tl;dr, at what point is slight complexity being too hard the fault of the players rather than the GMs? because I feel like I'm failing a bit right now
