>>97328387Pokemon: best gameplay, best cost, but dogshit artMTG: Dogshit gameplay, extremely expensive, dogshit artYGO: the most dogshit gameplay ever, extremely expensive, ok artHonestly I would play Pokemon if the cards werent so ugly
that's the second-best outcome tbqh.the best is just: delete thread, ban OP. you COULD make some /pol/ thread ACTUALLY about big-lipped gorilla-men in your setting. or you could simply not, and /tg/ remains better off for it.
>>97355518>>97354184PTA and PTU (which is based on PTA) are a total slog. You basically need tools, because there's so much fucking crunch. The powerscaling gets pretty insane too, since trainers can potentially learn how to use moves like Pokemon do.You can play Pokerole instead, which is much less cumbersome, and takes inspiration from Storyteller system, but you might need to be ready to improvise and homebrew some things.
>>97356918pokerole is pretty promising, I'm not looking for a full package just a startpoint I can simplify further to introduce the concept of rpgs to 10-year-olds. PTA, PTU, Oddysee and PTR yeah they seem too complex for that.
>>97357118Part of the issue with PTA/PTU is that the math tries to resemble the video games too much. It just bogs everything down with bookkeeping, and makes generating new things laborious.Pokerole is simple. Attribute+Stat=Dice Pool and roll for successes is the type of thing. It's meant for more fast and loose adventuring, with a style closer to the manga, and where you can control the scale of the game as a GM by using the sort of tier system for what trainers are capable of doing.

Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/.

>>97358139>People also homebrew 5eyes>ruin their experience doing sonope
>>97358343Assuming you mean 2e, this was a silent change from the remaster. Beforehand, all the monster abilities used to be automatic, but now it is a MAPless check to make it more fair for everyone. Even with the Greater forms.>>97358139>>97358360I would argue many, many players AREN'T ruining their experience, if only because the way they edit 5e makes it pretty unrecognizable to the vanilla game. Hell, you can say there is no "Core 5e" experience, an expected way of play. Yeah, there are zero campaigns that run every rule RAW, but also I think most players more often than not wing it. For good and ill, there's no way to play or change 5e so differently, you play it wrong. It's like mush, you can't build it up into a solid but you can't say you "broke' it trying to.While with PF2e, yeah you can absolutely accidentally take a sledgehammer to the foundation and wonder why it sucks. Hence why it isn't wrong to say 2efags are adamant against most forms of homebrewing or making the game your own. But also I would think this applies to most tabletops, 5e is more the exception than the rule to how much homebrew you can get away with. It's just notable to 2e because it is the #1 Rival to 5e, clearly wants it audience, and has such an out-there expected way of play compared to everything I do not blame anyone getting put off by it.
>>97358343It used to be automatic, but post remaster you must make an additional check. It's up to you how you want to handle it, but I think the automatic grab is better for players. The added check means you can get restrained and if the monster is actually built to grab people (it will be), that means taking entire turns away from people fairly often. Yes, it means they can miss too, but most creatures are set up to see critical success more often, especially if they aren't mooks. Forgoing the check also has the side effect of buffing player side summoning, since you can summon plus grab creatures and guarantee debuffs if they get lucky and hit.
>>97358291Anyone with access to a familiar can get a Greensting scorpion to scout for them. +8 size to stealth, +4 racial to both per/stealth, before your skill ranks and per/stealth being class skills for it. If you add the Figment archetype it can take the Skilled evolution twice by level 7 and get another +8 in both per/stealth (but must be within 100 ft). At lv 7 with maxed ranks and before any magic items it can have +33 to stealth and +22 to perception. If you take Skill Focus with the feat it gains from losing the mindless trait you land att +25 perception. And if it gets discovered and killed it will reappear after some sleep.

>>97358054This, one guy at my lgs was literally banned from coming in because he did adventure groups with weighted dice, took a while because he only brought out his "special dice" for "Important roles" he had another set of weighted dice so he'd never roll below like a 10. These people are dumb as fuck
>>97357707Why is it bad for a player to fake rolls but okay for a DM to do so?
>>97358448Because the player is playing a game with a challenge, the gm is maintaining story cohesion and rules arbitration
>>97354646No thoughts on this?
>>97358684Seems pretty standard to be honest. A lot of people make long rests 1 week instead of 24 hours.
Should an elven wizard be more powerful on average than a human one? Explain your answer.
>>97356728>CouldMaybe.>ShouldDepends on the system, but mostly on luck.>Explain your answerPretty sure that elves have some kind of learning disability to need to spend hundreds of years to learn the same thing humans can in a hundredth the time. So a headstart isn't going to mean much in terms of power overall.
>>97358443>Any that features the above settings or can run then in homebrewThey have very different rules for spellcasting, and different attributes being important. Like for instance, wisdom doesn't matter for D&D wizards (outside of saves), but it matters for channeling spells in Warhammer Fantasy. In this system anyway, elves can master any sphere of magic and learn High Magic, while human wizards are incapable of doing so.Let alone the difference in age and also powerlevels for characters.>>97358482>Pretty sure that elves have some kind of learning disability to need to spend hundreds of years to learn the same thing humans can in a hundredth the timeThat really isn't the case in any system or in any halfway serious setting.Elves being dumb children for hundreds of years is a shitty anime trope.
>>97358501>Elves being dumb children for hundreds of years is a shitty anime trope.Relax bro, just having a giggle since it's just a joke thread.Though I didn't even take that from anime, it's the bogstandard joke of how an elven adventurer starts at level 1 like everyone else despite an adult elf generally being in the triple digits for years lived compared to them, surprised you couldn't recognize it
>>97358643I never played an elf of such age, unless the system (and the GM) forced me to.You can play a 20-something elf just fine that also starts at level 1 as everyone else in many games.Furthermore, this logic doesn't work, never works, when said elf will level up as fast as everyone else, gain the equal amount of experience.And how dumb the thread is doesn't stop me from making regular, upfront posts about actual games stuff, if possible.>>97358501Also, since I'm familiar with WFRP more than anything else: you can't really say "it's largely the same" compared to anything else. Since elves in that system are not balanced to humans. The elfen wizard has a massive headstart in terms of spellcasting capabilities, and better stats in general. He will be a better fighter than the human wizard, faster and more agile, have more willpower, and even will be more charming. It really does depend on the system.
>>97358708>You can play a 20-something elf just fine that also starts at level 1 as everyone else in many games.Wouldn't that basically be an elven toddler? So you play games where elf lolis are fighting on par with grown men and dwarves and stuff?
