>>97397237on the contrary, the kind of people who would fly that flag are the kind of people i would not want to play with or be allowed around children
>>97397470My LGS sells warhammer shit at the exact same price as from GW's online store, not the lower amazon price, the actual warhammer store. I never buy SHIT from them other than non GW paints
>>97396826did you learn about history from Game of Thrones and than just stop there?
>>97400045This. Normal well adjusted adults don’t have to fly faggot colors in order to assure themselves and others that they are not child molesters. Those who constantly contemplate that sort of shit (and whom were probably themselves molested at a young age and vampirically turned into homos, many many such cases) are the only ones who think it’s normal and even a good. It’s like people who are so far gone trying to act normal and health but don’t even know what those words mean anymore so instead they over compensate. It’s like them saying right to your face “how do you do my fellow non child molesters?” It’s not the chud deterrent they think it is - I walk into these type virtue signaling shops in my area, dunk on people with my superior decks, minis, terrain, boardgame collection, all while being a massive and obvious chud. Oh, and I never ever buy anything lol
Personally, the UK has some great great great shopsBut for me it's the thrill of a Bring and Buy sale or a good Wargames Show
Any advice? They're all new to playing D&D as well as well so I'm hoping to fake it til I make it.
I'm also trying for the first time and running simulations for the secret final bossIt's looking like it could either be a total curb stomp in either direction, or extremely drawn out depending on how the first few rolls go
>>97400044Truthful digits.
>>97398534>fake it til I make itThat's basically what it boils down to, anon. Almost every GM has a part of this. The thing is, when you run a show, most people are there to have a good time, and don't think too much about the whole thing. There may be some that know about the technical side more than the others, but as long as the show is running smooth, they're not gonna care about minor issues. A game is the same. Keep the ball running, don't stop everything for 20 minutes to check a rule, make a rule on the spot and wing it, check it later. Players are going to do something you don't expect, so don't plan too much, be ready to improvise. Have a broad understanding of what would happen in case the players did something, then react. Take notes to keep things consistent between sessions. You can say no, but be ready to allow alternative solutions, otherwise the game bogs down.

>>97400853>>97401035I would think lasers for a regular army unit and autos for milita

Ah yes, the magnificat. That grand new primaris organ which not only enhanced standard space marines, but conveniently corrected that rather irritating compatibility flaw they once suffered from.Cope however you like. After the femstodes precedent, this outcome is inevitable and you know it.
>>97400667Warhammer was never for you, and isn't now. It's unfortunate that you slipped through the cracks and expended so much time/money thinking you'd have a place here, when in reality it's creators have always despised your makeup. You could soul-search and fix yourself (but you won't).
>>97395563the real cope is making posts like yours. I can tell you were one of those jewish rats that declared the original primaris release as ushering in female marines.
>>97395563>It's happening again
>>97398310Not going to be that maid marines lead by a catgirl primarch is it?
>>97395563but femstodes actually make them stand out when normies thought they were 'gold space marines' and the men also make them standout from SoB. Not everything is election tourist performance drama bait.

>>97400336>If you then say "well, maybe the 1-resource 2 attack card has a better effect", you can then compare two 1-resource 2 attack cards but one has a better effect than the other. No reason to run the weaker one. And so on and so on.Fair enough. But in that case, when there is a sufficient of amount of resource tiers and enough cards with unique effects and stat spreads in each of them, wouldn't that be enough to perform the same amount of obfuscation that archetypes and colors could give? I feel like you can see this in action with some competitive mobile games, where multiple strategies can survive side by side due to player preference and up-to-date nerfs and buffs help tweak things out if the meta becomes lopsided
>>97400410I'll check it out, thank you. Are they pretty good about keeping their card selection up to date?

>>97401061Any area with parentheses. Techniques no longer discriminate between their components by default, but (almost) any Technique can be specialized in.For example, a character with Weapon Bonding 3 is really good with all weapons, but can take Weapon Bonding 3 (Blades) to be even better with Blades but worse in other weapons. The idea being that - because Techniques are broad - you can choose to Specialize in order to make your build more concise and specific and be rewarded for it instead of just ignoring half their theoretical abilities.
>>97401101As another example, Conditioning is the generic, mundane 'improved physique,' ability that slightly improves strength, toughness and speed from being more physically healthy.Taking Conditioning 2 (Speed) is basically a way to tailor the Technique to explain that they're focusing much more on speed than strength or durability and the Technique reflects that. It's not an essential component of any build, but it can help very much when you only want to focus on one part of it and get rewarded.Another example is Body Shaping, where you can control any tissue in your body. Boneman will obviously care more about Bones than Muscles so can go Body Shaping (Bones) to give their build more focus and get rewarded for specialization/thematicism - or someone can keep the Technique as-is to represent someone who's more versatile in their skillset.

>>97400984>it doesn’t even say what the upper limit of the boost isUsually when something like this happens its because he guy who made the CYOA didn't think it was something that needed explaining. So I think the ability is probably something simple.This costs less than make my monster grow, AND MMMG has a drawback (Times out and does nothing if your opponent is smaller). I'm really inclined to believe its just a simple "attack power up".

>>97394536This is where I'm puttering, because I need to figure out some way for the PCs to get "hooked" into the greater metaplot and find some reason to stick together, while also being obviously "special" by outside observers which puts them into the interests of power blocs within the city. The thought I had is that the Agent used powdered honey from a "Mellified Man" (basically, a honey mummy thought to contain vast magical and restorative powers) who was made during the chaotic early years of magic coming into the world, and they breath in that powder which gets them "noticed" by the Mellified Man - this has humorous connotations for players because they could say their characters now have diabetes (or the popsicle man, you know how players love to find a good way to meme about story), but I can also see it as a sort of... The Mellified Man wants them to "get over" their loss, because while the Tyrantine Cabal has savage means, they believe the ends justify them - and, more importantly, the Mellified Man was made to help people, and -- I don't know, I'm not able to put it into concise words without rambling which is why I know it's something I need to "settle into," lock in as the kids say. The goal is to ultimately instill within them some secret knowledge or connection to the Tyrantine Cabal and the head honcho involved (who, himself, suffers from serious yearnings to a less tumultuous past.) Maybe this is just DM anxieties and I should stick with the honey powder which gives them funky visions of their lost loved ones (alongside the Jesus Figure that's trying to help them through it) but it feels like, "you sniff a strange sweet powder and now you're locked in" feels very railroady. Which isn't *bad,* mind you, because the early sessions need to be where you get players settled into their place within the world, but I'm still fighting through what could've actually happened.
>>97394536>>97394585Heh, heh! What a fool I am! An utter fool! They came to steal the ledger. THE LEDGER! Without the ledger, how is anyone supposed to know which bones go to which homes?

>>97390482Dude, I'm so sorry. I got so busy with Christmas that I forgot to comment. Ironic, considering the message of the story. I read everything in these threads and rarely say anything. Lurking is my vice. I just reread it.It legitimately made me choke up a little and stuck with me. Reading it again only drove it back home, I actually remember the climax really well. Messages and stories about gratitude and the soppy stuff really stick with me. This was a particularly well-done version. A belated merry Christmas. May we all keep the season with us throughout the year.If you're looking for any issues, I don't know if I can dredge anything up really. The long beginning really just drove the ending home even harder.
Lads, I hate the editing phase.
Hello, I have a question (or two) that I hope you will answer.I want you to imagine you're in a library in a strange town. You're currently stuck here because your car is being worked on. The repairs are indefinite; you could be here for hours. So you take a book from a shelf and sit down to read:crownwhill.substack.com/p/pilotMy question is this: at what point did you decide to stop reading and reach for a different book? More importantly, what about that point convinced you that you didn't want to read anymore?That's it. No need to wrack your brain for any complex reasoning. No need to comb through the text with an editor's eye. Just read it for pleasure, and when you find you don't want to read anymore, a simple 'I stopped at X because of Y' will do.Thank you very much in advance, and don't let the picture color your expectations of the story. It's just an eye-catcher.
Previous thread: >>97295718GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.Thread question: what's the best classic GURPS cover art?
>>97400194Oh I don't mean exactly like how Fallout would have used GURPS, but just running it like it was the older games compared to the newer Fallout 2d20's overwhelming focus of 4 and 76.
While searching for a hit location table with everything (which I did find), I stumbled upon this article from way back in 1992https://www.sjgames.com/gurps/Roleplayer/Roleplayer27/Concentrated-Defense.htmlIs there a version of this for 4e?Failing that, is there any reason why this "Concentrated Defenses" rule wouldn't work if I just used it in 4e with no modifications?
>>97401038Crazy to think that if this guy was 20 when he wrote this he'd be over 50 now. GURPS really has been around forever.
>>97401038GURPS Martial Arts: Gladiators p. 21 uses the name "Focused Defense" for turning sideways fencing-style. Basically, this "presents" one side for +2 to hit and "denies" the other side for −2 to hit.Dungeon Fantasy RPG: Shields Up p. 7 uses the name "Deliberate Cover" for using your shield to protect a specific "band" of hit locations as part of an All-Out Defense (Cover) maneuver. Basically, this grants cover DR and −2 targeting penalty to the covered locations.
>>97401167Interesting. These are very much not as useful as the article (+1 to parry is ok I guess), but are much more realistic.

I suggested that in the case of this specific country, the one with the ground inhabited and ruled by raksha, Wyld influence would be a pretty logical explanation for weirdness, and also that the mortal inhabitants of this specific country harnessing that Wyld influence to their advantage would be cool and make sense.
>>97400080While it post-dates it significantly, they already pulled that trick with the wolves in that one place in Across the Eight Directions. Also, raksha don't need to be in the Wyld all the time; they go hunting on the floor of the forest exactly because they aren't in the Wyld, so they eat Virtues and Willpower of those they find to keep on. The Wyld Zones in question would also need to be conducive to the oddities in question, and the realms of the three fae nobles who were in there don't really seem tuned to it.
>>97400129While not everytjing weird needs to come from the Wyld, weird things coming from the Wyld definitely shouldn't be, and isn't, a single location's special schtick, either.
