Tzimisce elders capturing all of the smelly werewolves and fusing them together into vozhd!

>>97243382You think the Tzimisce would ask smelly woofs for permission?
>>97243332I would pay money to see a parody video of Girl With the Dogs but it's just various woofs (Mostly Bone Gnawers) all forced to get groomed by their sept elder on camera as their rite of passage. The twist is that they have to kill the spirit of the camera that filmed them afterwards or else have said embarrassing footage shown to the entire sept.
On the spectrum of rubber forehead aliens to complete starfish aliens that are made out of silica and breathe methane, where are YOU specificially comfortable with. Does there come a point where an alien becomes too weird for you to "relate" to in order to include them in your games as playable races?Personally I am fond of aliens that look plausibly like they could have evolved in a different world and have no distinguishable lineage to earth life, even if they share some superficial features.

>>97240947Play the most dogwater shit deck imaginable. Your opponent gets to beat you into a pulp regardless of what they play and you get to feel an unwarranted sense of self-assured smugness that you're unique and creative in between bouts of seething about your opponent being a metasheep (actually playing a tiered deck is optional).This is the optimal way to enjoy yugioh.
>>97240947Depends on your opponent. If your opponent is a meta andy then you'd either want to be running a meta deck or something that has a good enough matchup against their deck to check it, but not dominate it.If your opponent's on a dogwater deck, you run a dogwater deck.

>>97242416Does it feature Rainbow Dash?
>>97242450It does not. They couldn't get the licensing and had to re-theme it.
>>97242208True, but that has little to do with saying "yeah lets set up my game, I know how to play it....whoopsie I don't :^)"If you want everyone to play your game, do the work. Game time is extremely precious, don't waste it by letting us watch a video or (somehow even worse) reading the rulebook aloud
>>97242227>How much of that is how exhausted design space has becomeMy money is on, "not very much". I think the main problem is that the sverage hobbyist consumer likes fiddly bullshit.>>97241904The worst I have in my group is a guy who 'teaches' games by reading the rulebook out loud. When people ask him questions he usually can't answer them because he doesn't remember the rules himself.There's also a guy in my group who owns about 100 more games than he knows the rules to, but when he host a game he doesn't know he plans specifically for that game so everyone can read the rules on their own time before showing up.
do you use character portraits in your game?how do you get them? do you use any websites\generators? do you use AI? how do you prompt it?
>>97242579You do you anon, but honestly it doesn't really look all that appealing to me. That's honestly the most indicting thing about ai art I can say, since I know next to none of the people obsessed with it give a shit about the sheer environmental waste involved so far (cause progress or whatever) or how most of it is ugly (cause it'll look better we totally swear), most of it mainly looks unmemorable and passe.
>>97242706>or how most of it is uglyActual human beings produce plenty of ugly art. Pic related (Paladin Alhandra, D&D 3rd edition PHB): Right leg's very obviously fucked, left arm's fucked, left boob's fucked, neck and back are fucked, scale mail looks like a texture tool, left knee is too low, what is that leathery flap in the back supposed to be, and everything kind of looks like it was drawn independently and then crudely assembled with clothing to hide the seams (bandana, collar, shoulder pads...)This was drawn in 1999 or 2000, way before AI art was ever a thing.
>>97242878Anon, I pointed out that ai art looking boring and unmemorable is imo far worse than any of it looking ugly, since I get that ugly is in the eye of the beholder anyways.
>>97230620>do you use character portraits in your game?I find visual aids help my players and myself visualize things better. Also we use Roll20 so I like to represent people with tokens when I can.>how do you get them? do you use any websites\generators?I get like 90% of my character art from here, though the character art threads have been poor quality - if high quantity - this year.>do you use AI? how do you prompt it?I try to avoid using AI images if possible, partially on principle and partly because they mostly look like shit.
>>97242058Muh climate change is absolutely right though, AI's wasting immense amounts of natural resources to achieve exactly fuck all. That said I still slop from time to time, most things I either crudely draw myself or just describe but there are e.g. certain playable humanoid types I make slop of to demonstrate

The main thing you learn modifying statblocks is the vast amount of incorrect information in the statblocks. Random attack bonuses that come from nowhere. Skills that don't add up. Insane

>>97240042>>97240020something I thought about with Tarquin and what punishment they'd have for himI figure they'd make him build the throne, though with a slightly different outcome for tortureTarquin obviously figures it out within a day, possibly when they first mention it to him, and of course, he's being smug about having figured out the plotAnd it doesn't matter, he's still forced to build the throne same as all the chumps who haven't figured it out, every time he tries to tell those chumps about it nobody believes him no matter what, the devils overseeing it keep up the scrip and keep telling him same as the other chumps to build the throne for [insert person he hates most]He figured everything out, and he's given zero acknowledgement for it, zero special attention, he's just the background NPC in someone else's panorama and no amount of intelligence or meta knowledge can ever change it, the end
>>97237486Pretty sure they have an interest in protecting the gate from anyone ever. In fact. if we hadn't been teased the whole world within the snarl I'd predict half the members of the oots staying behind to guard the gate in perpetuity; namely V. Dorkun, possibly Roy and Undead/MechaBelkar.
What would be cool is if at some point Elan is in peril and Nale is the one who saves him, and he can go "I'm not the evil twin anymore."

Guys, I want to talk about HELLPIERCERS. I bought this game a bit ago because I thought it looked cool, and I've read it, and I don't know enough people weird enough to play it with me, and I can't stop thinking about it, and I just have to talk about it with someone.>First up: what the fuck is Hellpiercers? And why do you spell it in all-caps? Do you have autism?HELLPIERCERS is a tactical tabletop RPG developed by SandyPug Games alongside a few people who did some dev work on some of the Lancer supplements. It casts the PCs as gnostic demigod heroes and veterans of the War in Heaven, who aided the forces of humanity in regaining their stolen gnosis and slaying the Demiurge, his Archons, and angelic generals. Having conquered Heaven and liberated the mortal plane from the tyranny of false divinity, they now cast their eyes downward, into Hell, where countless human souls remain enslaved by the demon lords below. Hellpiercers, armed with their god-slaying weapons, clad in armor forged from the corpses of angels, lead a war of liberation against the forces of Hell, to free the enslaved souls of every human who has ever lived.I spell it in all-caps because it's title is rendered in all-caps. I'm pretty sure I'm not autistic, but I've never been tested, so who even fucking knows?
>>97242444It is certainly a wordy game. I will be the first to admit that it frontloads a lot with a lot of in-universe jargon and buries the lede in terms of what the actual structure of play on the campaign level looks like.ICON and Gubat Banwa are better points of comparison, yes. Yeah, STRATCOM is spent with the players and the GM taking a couple of turns (as many as is necessary between tactical combat sorties based on strategic map movement and other factors) moving about the map, encountering shit on the overworld, spending resources, constructing buildings, performing rituals and other actions that affect the pace and the standing of the ongoing conflict. And RECON is, in fact, the unstructured, "narrative layer" play, mostly for exploring Dis, pursuing personal objectives, and finding cool shit in the Chambers, Vaults and Caverns under the city. It's kept deliberately loose, and most of the points of interaction relate to the tags you assign to characters and gear during chargen. Like, with Lancer's pilot-scale gameplay, it's probably going to be the most controversial part of gameplay for players who don't jive with something like Blades in the Dark.Also, notable is that you never roll to attack during TACCOM. The forces of Hell are overwhelming. Everything around you wants to kill you. The air you breathe? The microbes in it want to perforate your lungs. The ground beneath your feet? Would love to open up and swallow you whole. You can't swing a stick without hitting something that wants you dead, so why bother? Damage is still randomized, and enemies don't roll to attack either, so careful positioning and risk management matter even more than in Lancer and ICON.
>>97235095Why the hell is Gnosticism so popular?
>>97242679Because it's meaningless. It's a word to prove that you're not like the other girls (male).
>>97242679Gnosticism posits that the secret truth of the universe is that we are trapped in an illusion/simulation/prison, and the deity responsible for this is evil. So by rejecting this twisted reality and fighting against it, you are a heroic rebel. It lets you be iconoclastic, rebellious, but also be the good guy because you're aligned with a greater cosmic good that exists beyond the demiurge. You get to have a punch-up with god, but like, without having to go full fedora about it.Which does kind of boil down to what >>97242687 says, I admit
>>97235095I'm not sure that setting makes sense: gnosticism is still totally monotheistic, just that the demi-urge is larping as the one true god when he's not. Using terms like "god-slayer" is completely antithetical to the beliefs of gnosticism, as the protagonists would inherently reject that the things they killed were gods. It might sound like a nitpick but it's a critical distinction. It's a red flag that there's no reference in the text to there being any sort of actual god in the setting, plus "free the enslaved souls of every human who has ever lived" from hell? Really? Even the rapists and child molesters? Would the devs want Hitler to be "liberated"? The whole thing reeks of an edgy atheist power fantasy.
