>>97389408Ignoring the mythic system is still incredible feat/magic item/level intensive in 2e to come close to what you could easily do athletically/acrobatically in 1e
>>97389434That's just a true statement, I am very certain a point was to make sure you can't. By default, a "full-round action" to move in 2e is far more freeing, if less multiplicative than a full Run/Charge in 1e. But I also think neither game was ever trying to be Exalted, there are diminishing returns to high degrees of athleticism on both player and GM. You can only make a mountain so high, especially for the one person that builds for it in your campaign. And unless you houserule how move actions work to work like they do in D&D5e, you not only waste all your additional movement as you can't skirmish, you lose out on other full-round actions.Nothing in 2e is supposed to be as easy to accomplish in 1e. Either it is meant to be more an investment to compensate for the streamlining of core systems, or not applicable at all because they are two different games and have two different balancing points.
any good patreons with environment art for games?

>>97391260Like a lot of things in this world the answer is because of nostalgia, they liked something in the past so any change to that thing is also an attack to them personally, by it women in the hobby or women in the minis, now it's not like it was before, so they hate it.That is what they don't see that this kind of decisions are made for money and not because there is a shadow group that specially hate them.
>>97391901Congratulations on discovering that corporations like money. Truly, a visionary. The point you’re missing—while you’re busy white-knighting for a company that wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire—is that they’re trading a dedicated fanbase for a 'wider audience' that doesn't even play the game. It’s not 'hate,' it’s watching something great get watered down for people who think a paintbrush is a magic wand. But hey, enjoy your sanitized, focus-tested plastic; I'm sure the shareholders appreciate your service.
How can card shops survive the rise of armed thefts?
>>97386478They actually already got caught, they tried dumping the stuff at a card shop that was literally down the street.>>97387151They were talking Spanish in the video so their Spanish but our prison system counts Spanish as white so sure they were white.
>>97387564Link? I've seen other reported card thieves but nothing yet from the one Manhattan Poké Court store (the one in the OP)
>>97386313100k is probably the retail value of the packs. So roughly 700 boxes. Not counting specialty boosters the box retail at Walmart seems to be about $55 which puts it at $38,500. So if they sell them to a scalper for $40 per box that nets them $28,000; assuming a 4 way split that's $7000 each. Which doesn't sound like much but it means you only need 10 robberies a year to hit the median single income in the USA.
>>97381471This is what happens when you fail to stop scalpers and let them exclude normal people from getting cards.
>>97381923>rest of the worldyou do know you yankoids arent paying for that stuff any longer right?

>>97391599First, it's not marines. Second, they really don't want people bugging out after the custard debacle.
>>97391599because there's fucking nothing in the box.It's one box of troops ($80) and one small vehicle ($50) sold for $140 which isnt even worth anywhere near 140.To make it a battleforce they'd have needed to add another unit or an actual tank.
>>97391599also the light vehicle is 100 points and the troops are probably 150 points total. So the worst points per dollar of any army. (not even 2 ppd)That's worse value than RESIN kits even. A random resin like Corswain ($60) for 220 points is 100% more value than the "battleforce" (3.7 instead of 1.8 ppd)
>>97391778>>97391765* oh, there's a generic trooper hero in the box I missed. That's the only benefit, I'd just get a recast of him for $9 from wartable.
>>97390931Because 90% of warhammer players are too lazy or lack the skills to convert an entire army.

here's the materials from my RPG, ready to playtest on the weekend. it was supposed to be this weekend but i got delayed, took the time to go over the rules and sheets though. what do you think?>Rulebookhttps://files.catbox.moe/pnawpj.pdf>Character Sheethttps://files.catbox.moe/agvb8s.pdf>Vehicle Sheethttps://files.catbox.moe/23s6qu.pdfand attached is the start of the hexmap for space travel. right now it just has empire borders, the capital systems and the star systems that'll be part of the campaign. i'll be adding more systems and hazards, and expanding the map as i go.
This is a specification for an exterior ballistics software that can be used to calculate damage at long range in tabletop RPGs like Phoenix Command or GURPS where that sort of question arises with some degree of frequency. It takes in physical characteristics of a projectile (diameter, length, mass, etc.) and uses an ODE method to calculate velocity after a period of time has passed. I'd recommend either C++ or pure C for the programme as, particularly if you are generating tables for many types of projectiles, it can get very computationally intensive.For the specification, start with the formula for drag force, $F_d = \frac{1}{2}\rho v^{2}C_{D}A$, so $\frac{\rho v^{2}C_{d}A}{2m} = a$. The issue is $C_D$, which must be determined empirically. We have an advantage in that drag curves all look more or less the same in terms of shape and proportionality (multiply the drag coefficient on a G7 drag curve by about 1.9 and you will likely be pretty close to the drag coefficient at that mach number on a G1 drag curve). Thus, we define our generic drag curve as on the below table. When a bullet is between mach numbers you have the option of linearly interpolating between them, which is less realistic but easier to write code for and will run faster, or using a more complex formula such as Lagrangian or Newtonian Interpolation, which are more accurate but slower. The typical air density (rho) at sea level is 1.225kg/m$^3$. A typical speed of sound at sea level is about 340 m/s.
>>97391615I do like GURPS but I don't play it because my own system creates a better model of wound ballistics, using a voxelised representation of the human body with lethality and penetration resistance values assigned to different tissue types, shot paths then being tabulated. GURPS is a nice system (I have some issue with the way skills work, I dislike how if your character is very skilled but if he fails it's always a critical failure, so airline pilots either fly the plane successfully or crash into the Pacific), but it's better than most systems but this is a much more accurate way of modelling superior way of modelling terminal ballistics and wounding.
>>97391680>voxelised representation of the human body with lethality and penetration resistance values assigned to different tissue typesThis is the worst thing I've ever heard. Please consider make a video game instead.
>>97391680
>>97391876>>97391899You don't have the voxels right there in the rulebook. It's tabulated, like the picture I've attached.
>>97391904Okay, so it looks like if you do 1-3 penetration you do 1 damage, and anything more than that you do massive damage.1. How many hitpoints does the average person have? Is a 4 penetration hit with 13 damage enough to kill them, or do PCs have more like 100 health?2. How much damage does a punch to the head do? You can definitely kill someone with a single punch to the forehead even though it doesn't penetrate the skull.

>>97387422Word Bearers don't worship Chaos gods, they worship the Warp itself.
>>97387179The point is, they're all wrong and deluded. The gods exist whether you believe them or not. All of the rest is cope.The real-life explanation is that actual religious fanatics would probably come off as really disturbing. Even the Word-Bearers are very transactional in their worship, they do it to get bennies.If they were like Muslims, that would probably be too far even by grim, dark standards.

Played thiefdom tonight. It's a perfectly fine game by the Clans of Caledonia dude. Sneaking around, stealing and selling stuff trying not to get caught by the constables, it's pretty fun. Theme's cool, powers are great, scores are tight and it's pretty interactive.Yet we all ended up finding it somewhat meh. For one there was the time, it took like 2 3/4 hours where we expected it to be sub 2, but that's not enough of a reason to be down on it. I thought about it a little and then I realized something I'd consider a critical design flawThe game is much more fun if you play a more "from your gut" game and don't plan your turns out in the minutest detalils because mistakes make the game more interesting. At the same time, though, the game punishes mistakes somewhat harshly. So the game ends up in an unhappy middle ground where everyone analyzes a lot, but no thief ever gets caught. It's a somewhat unstatisfying affair; a big part of the game is the constant threat of the constables catching you, but in reality it plays more like a puzzle in how to inconvenience your opponents the most. It's a pity because the game is pretty well designed, but there are many games more fun to play if you are looking for the heads-down and puzzly experience. Thiefdom does want to be played a little quicker than would be safe, it wants to have a snappy gameflow. But when the penalty for making a mistake is high, players naturally put in energy to avoid a failstate, and thus you end up having an AP-prone longish game that lacks the statisfaction of a more heavy experience. I wonder what group this is for, some will surely love it.It's a bit heartbreaking, actually. The game had so much going for it, but I think I'll sell it.
>>97391626Or both. But you have to raise at least one of them (or try to call a lie).

has anyone given though to the state of mathematics in fantasy settings and how it affects the setting and characters in it? e.g.>tribes in not!Africa struggle with trade because they can't count past 2>how traders to calculation to determine prices, risk, etc>how well astronomers understand the motion of the heavens>how the characters think (i.e. logically, or numerically, or in a poetic / non-mathematical way)
>>97372876would be even more awkward if they had different views on logic, e.g. classical logic vs intuitionist logic vs paraconsistent logicor if they had contradictory mathematical axioms, e.g. if one species the axiom of choice and another accepted the axiom of determinacy.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere. Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency. If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help: >n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0 >Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128 >Need a starter dungeon?

God I hate the fishfag and Ive only been following OSRG for 2 thread. Someone mentioned that his name has something to do with 'fish economics'. Can anyone enlighten me?More on topic: are most campaigns run using a hexcrawl for the 'overworld'? Or is that unusual. I really like the sound of the Wilderlands of High Fantasy's science fantasy elements.
>>97391501Here's the fish story summary: https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/96896564/#q96900679
>>97391543Thanks. The irony is that his 'origin' story is pretty boring.
>>97391643It's probably just that every story that ACKShill tells is boring.
>>97389877>Why B/X lacks % in lair?As Anon said, it's not clear – my personal theory is that it's ultimately because of the division into Basic and Expert. No, hear me out: B/X is premised on the idea that only dungeon crawling elements of the game are explained in Basic (those being the most fundamental parts of D&D gameplay) and the wilderness exploration elements are detailed in Expert, once the PCs are of a level to cope with them. A consequence of this is that the % in Lair stat would make no sense in Basic – it's not used by any systems, so it would only be confusing (to brand-new referees!) for it to be present in Basic. Moldvay very reasonably cut it. But this created a problem for Cook when he went to write Expert: lots of monsters now have no % in Lair stat, including ones you'd expect to have them like orc and goblin tribes. Does he just put a table in summarizing this stat for all Basic monsters? Or does he reprint every Basic monster that might appear in the wilderness, in full? You see the issue. I think he just went ahead and cut the stat, for ease and consistency.

>>97380844Are tripods technology or living beings? If they're going to be in the "hyperborean critters" book, I imagine they have to be alive in some way, or at the very least maybe fully wild ones. Maybe things like the Combine from Half-Life, where the tripods used by the hyperboreans are weaponized and techified organic tripods?
>>97387676To me they resemble the 1906 versions, the ones with the big eyes, so that could make sense.Alternatively, it could be entirely mechanical but still acting wild because the first layer is a weird place.
>>97387676>Are tripods technology or living beings?I feel like Hyperborea tends to blur that particular line quite a lot.
Finally got my Friends to pick up TTS over the steam sale. Going to give them a gothrough of Agartha when I can get the time. A few of them played a couple of years ago before jamboard died but things have changed so much that we'll all be relearning a fair amount of stuff.It is somewhat odd to realize that there are now old players who have to be caught up with rules changes. Actual factual Agarthan Grogs, of a sort.

There are probably weirder ones too. I know you can play a straight up digital robot. Not a magical construct, actual boston dynamics tier robot in your fantasy rpg.

>>97337142Foul Spawn/Hell Spawn are an interesting monster race given that they have multiple forms similar to insect races, but they have no societal structure and their forms are randomly determined rather than inherited. A race originally created by blood magic which then proliferated beyond its creators is a surprisingly underexplored concept in fantasy (mostly due to moral implications), given that Tolkien's Orcs are analogous to that concept.
