Almost noone is a mustwin-tourneyfag, but we all tend to like games we are good at more, conciously or subconciously.
>>97278272Eh, I just had a bit of fun roasting spacefag. Personally, I don't get much out of his reviews, it's too much about how things feel and how immersive they are. Which is a legitimate approach, but not all games are designed theme first. I would argue that there are good games with little to no thematic coherence but there are little to no good games that care only about theme and immersion. Fags like spacebiff, susd and designers like wehrle beg to differ, and from their popularity it seems they might represent a bigger part of boardgames than I'd have guessed. For this audience space biff probably feels magical. They're all faggots of course, but that goes without saying. I do hate this design school of narrative first/the game is an experience and gameplay and balance are more sidenotes than primary design goals - I am in for the challenge, banter and exploring the system. I'm glad both sides exist, though. Just like space-faggot.
>>97274033Oh yeah, if you had bought a game before new year's but it shipped from a location that was after new year's would that have scuttled your challenge?
Consuming online content is a Chinese penis trap for midwits.
I replayed concordia on bga after selling it a few years ago and came to the same conclusion. I think it's a cool design and very much respect it but I'm not having much fun playing the game. Because it's largely deterministic after setup, I found that whoever throws in more energy usually wins. I don't mind playing the who thinks further ahead type of games, but since it's not confrontational there's not that much that changes my plans. Not that fun for me tbqh. Strangely enough, I didn't love it 10 years ago either.
>>97278883no, if it arrived before new years the challenge would still be (heckin) valid, that being said, it's been less than 24 hours and there are over ten games on the wishlist already
After about 8 years since I last DM'ed a game, I've been asked to run a session. Unfortunately my books - adnd, 2e, 3e, 3.5, 4e, and 5e are in storage two states away.And i prefer physical copies. Thanks to critical role and the movie DND books have gone up in price which is weird.>4e books are ~10-15$ now. Is it viable to run 4e in 2025? I don't remember hating it and I still remember some home rules to streamline combat to speed it up a touch. Does anyone have suggestions for 1-3lvl adventures or campaign settings? >4e thread I guess
>>97248299>Been doing this a long timeThe worst GMs of all time all say this btw. All it means is you've spent a long time learning nothing lol
>>97275110MediaFire. You couldn't figure that out from the initials?
>>97275115>I'd enjoy seeing you explain how I'm wrong about the game's assumptions and game flow.Still waiting for you to 'teach' me.You see, I'm not in love with being 'right'. If you had an opinion on how to run a better game, I'd cheerfully listen, because making the best game I can for my players is what is important, not my ego.
>>97236174Utility spells and 4e rituals weren't an issue
>>97276274My biggest complaint is that I think Utility Powers should have been separated into in combat ones like Shield, Tumble and the stances and out of combat ones like Crucial Advice, Instant Friends and Double Take and when you would get Utility Powers you get one of each. Or at least give everyone one class Utility Power and one Skill Power each time. Also throwing out the skill replacement Powers. Wizards if built somewhat intelligently can replace like 70% of the skill list with Arcana which they then can jack to the moon. I'd replace those with Powers that let you use Int/Cha instead of the usual modifier for one round per encounter. That way it's a lot less cheesey and makes Wizards and Warlocks a lot less "I just roll Arcana/Bluff every round of a Skill Challenge but call it 4 different skills".

Going through my old decks, is there any chance Super Quant ever makes a comback?Maybe Genesys? My autism compels me
>>97278142it's entire gameplan is to ftk you with burn damageit's pretty much the least fun concept for a deck imaginable
>>97278198Super Quant got some good legacy support recently, you should give it a try
>>97278142I'm going to explain this without talking about the elephant in the room that is their field spell>Every single one of their monsters searches oneanother by their pendulum effect, and they have built-in methods to get their scales off of the field to ensure that you basically fill up your entire field>Applies lingering effects IMMEDIATELY after they are flipped that either burn your opponent or protects your cards, which is something that some people seem to overlook>One of the above lingering effects (Asta.PIXEA) is a floodgate that prevents your opponent from targeting anything on the field or GYs. For some reason, people overlook the fact that this also prevents them from targeting their own cards. For some reason, it also has a handrip effect when it's flipped by its own effect too.>Half of their monsters have a statline of 3000:2500So, it's a Beatdown/Stun/Control/Burn deck where the only way to reliably out them is non-targeting, non-destructive effects.>uhh... DURRRRR..... but your opponent needs to activate effects in specific locations before you can flip your monsters!!!I've also seen retards say this as though empty jar wasn't a thing in 2005 and its entire strategy didn't revolve around flipping a flip monster, and that we didn't get more cards that flip flip monsters since then.
>>97278088>JokulIt says "both" when summoning the monsters so both targets need to be in hand at resolution to work.>MirrorjadeAny monster effect that happens when it leaves the field/is destroyed/whatever can activate in its new zone (except banished facedown/returned to deck) as well as reference the state it was in on the field (in the case of Mirrorjade: fusion summoned + under its owner's control + removed by opponent's card). A negated monster on the field is only negated in the GY on resolution if the effect itself activated on the field while the monster was negated and the negation didn't specify the monster must remain on the field to stay negated.
Post your favourite Warhammer Terrain kek
>>97274611Go stick your gay spase marine toy up your ass faggot
>>97274533>40k has way better examples of all out spectacle convention tables btwHow many times have you posted this and still not provided a single example? Kek GW simps are so pathetic how butthurt they get when you don't praise their precious slop
>>97273245Not to address every point here but battletech mats actually look way better than the right. They're simple and don't try to do too much, but they aren't ugly. Saying a battletech map is ugly terrain is like saying a chessboard is ugly terrain. But the right image is in fact ugly in a way they aren't.
>>97272480I would rather spend thousands on official GW terrain than ever see a single MDF cut-out building again. I think it's the fact that nobody even bothers spraying them grey or something. The raw, laser cut crap just sits there.
Nothing is better than BALANCED and COMPETITIVE tournament play!
>gain traction from GW losing community goodwill>immediately start killing your own community goodwill before you even have a product fully outWhat is this business strategy called?
>>97277117They did, but that was ages ago, back when the setting existed only as posts on social media. Trench Crusade doesn’t follow our historical timeline, and several key figures were born completely out of sync with real-world history. For example, Gregor Mendel is said to have been born hundreds of years early, which allowed the Church to make use of his genetic insights far earlier than in our world.So even before the gate to hell opened the game was not following our timeline.I have no idea if this is still canon though.
Do people have any actual thoughts about the mechanics or gameplay or is it just retarded /pol/ bullshit?
>>97278866>Templars waiting hundreds of years for something called a "Crusade" to be invented.>>97278890Discord bullshit actually.
>>97278897Do you think I give two halves of a shit about the difference?
>>97278890I like them. The rolls tend to be kinda swingy, but it's more of a beer&pretzels game, so it's not that big of an issue. The blood marker mechanic speeds things up and adds a neat tactical layer. Playing a campaign has been plenty of fun.When it comes to things I dislike, armour (and by extension armour ignoring attacks) feels a bit too important at the moment and some units are blatantly over/underpowered
In your game, do you treat bows as strength- or dexterity-based weapons?

>>97276717>can't imagine why people would play more than one game>literally incapable of imagining someone using different things for different moments>calls others retardedDon't do this. I know you're trying to bait to get a bump. You can do that once or twice a thread, but if you do it a dozen times the thread is just shit and no one wants to be part of it.This general doesn't need constant posting, it needs new people checking and getting into it.Go learn from the horror or mecha generals.
>>97278104While I undersatand your suspicions, I'm sorry to have to inform you that i am 100% sincere and not bumpfagging. Mork Borg (as much as it gets memed on), Mythic Bastionland, Vaults of Vaarn, Black Sword Hack etc. are all games with a sound justification for existing, games that provide something unique of their own. You don't have to value them but the people who do have good reasons for it.Cairn is like Knave: it's just a half-finished shitbox for people who can't tolerate B/X's roughly thirty pages of rules and that's brainless and contemptible. (And Cairn 2e is like Knave 2e is that it's still just as unfinished but tries to mask that with a profusion of trash tables)
>>97278340B/X printed version when
>>97278728you can order it, it's POD in dtrpg or whatever
>>97278092how do you run an osr-adjacent game without magical healing?you might want to check out Cartel (the pbta Narcos game) or the 100 Bullets comic for inspiration, it's like a modernized digestible take on the era without the kids on bikes trope.
Thoughts on moths?
>>97278675It had better be a fully operational deathssecory.
>>97276734They're pretty cool. I've only had them show up in a game once though, and she was just an NPC friend of my character.
>>97276734Haven't used them much, they were a more frequent meme monster in the earl 2020s. They're sort of creepy looking if you've never been outside and don't have any specifically innate power or horror to them so there's not much to work with other than making them quiet weirdos.
>>97276734Judgmental.
One of our games has them as an antagonist of sorts.Since the setting has fate spiders wielding threads of fate, there's an opposing (dragon)moth entities that eat the threads of fate. Very much a Creation vs Destruction theming.Them being an enemy of creation hasn't stopped the party from managing to snag one as a companion, because of course (to the frustration of the fate spider character, but not their player).Also easy enough to do a Law vs Chaos aspect, and have them represent breaking free from the shackles of fate, or a hero burning brightly before being consumed.
