Then an executive saw the K-pop movie Demon Hunters and decided it was a good idea to adapt it into Dungeons and Dragons.Opinions?
History:Greetings, adventurer. Come walk the glowing streets of Lumenica, a cavern-city where runes and sigils blaze like neon, their arcane light woven into stone and crystal, every one a vow that darkness will not win.Such vows are not kept lightly. In Lumenica, they are upheld by the Idols: fierce, stylish heroes who wield blade and spell, fighting with rhythm and song to defend the innocent and drive back the shadows

Maybe even the one they freshly with Ephemeral Induction Technique.
>>97246135>"If you want to be a martial artist, pay a 4-dot Merit tax to be one"
>>97246135A lot of these feel fake or really minor but charms that can interact with each other and let you auto win shit without explaining how they interact with each other bugs the shit out of me.There is a speed charm that makes you faster then anything else in infernals. What happens when two people use it? You can't just ignore that it is going to come up in game. Or I'm dumb as shit and missing an obvious rule on these things but whatever, it's not even the only example of this.
>>97247333Did 3e do away with the Essence roll off?But yeah, one of the reasons I don't like 3e is that it seems to be operating under the assumption that only the PCs follow the rules , everything else the ST handwaves half the time
>>97244838And San doesn't even remotely resemble a Full Moon. Revy at least has the attitude down, per the lyrics to the OP, Red Fraction.
I refuse to believe Halo Flashpoint is even a 10th as successful as Mantic claims. In terms of online, easy to find metrics it has:3100 people as part of its sub(P)reddit.2100 or so people as part of Facebook Groups.No one discussing it on Twitter gets many likes/comments/retweets.No one big or well known talks about/plays it on Youtube.Yet it's one of the fastest growing and more popular tabletop games to come out recently?I don't buy it.I don't hate the system, but I am baffled by Mantic's ability to get away with lying about how successful this game is.

>>97243245I haven't yet seen an IRL SWL or TC games but I've seen a few Halo games played.
>more fireteams to be released laterThis game reads like its going to go the way of xwing. Even the core strategy is the same of trying to maximize and clutch that one single combo where you throw so many dice you just obliterate the opponent. Honestly it looks really fun, I just watched all the videos and it seems like the developers did a good job matching the rules and core mechanics to capture the feel of a game of halo. It will be quite fun until the bean counter just cant stop and enshitify the game through endless unblanced expantions and then dies. Xwing was so much fun but they just couldnt leave well enough alone.

The only other way to avoid it is some gonzo setting like Crimson Skies and its Balkanized USA.

>>97230214To fix, it would have to have worked in the first place
>>97243775That's Teslapunk, to the point that Tesla himself is a major character in the narrative.
>>97247411As an aside for the record, the seminal defining work of decopunk is the movie Metropolis (1927).
We've reached the point where GMs are now producing AI slop responses both in and out of character.
>>97243501If AI glorifying faggots were capable of creativity of their own, they wouldn't waste their time glorifying AI as a solution to all of the non-existent problems that only plague lazy, stupid faggots who believe they are entitled to be part of a hobby, without wanting to engage with any of the core activities of that hobby.

maps and mapmaking. more specifically, there's something that's been bothering me for a while now. There are endless skirmish-scale settlement-scale and topographic-scale square grid mapmaking tools online, and that's great. There's plenty of topography-scale hexgrid mapmakers too, presumably because of D&D's ancient use of hexgrids for overland travel. and that's great too. There arent many hexmakers ive found for settlement scale maps, but i've had some luck torturing them out of the battletech mapmaker in the megamek software, or other videogames that generously offer to print the outputbutfor the life of me i cannot find a decent skirmish-scale hexgrid mapmaker. i must have tried a dozen programs by now, but the ones that offer hexgrids are either borderline unuseable or just put a hexagonal overlay over a square grid. it's ridiculous that after decades of computer tools for TTRPGS the best i've found is GIMP where i have to draw the damn things by hand. Not to mention the endless enshitification of google makes it harder and harder to find niche programs to match what i need.what are you anons using to create your maps?do you know of any decent skirmish-scale hexmappers (that are free, or at least worth the price)?what do you think of maps in general, do you even use them?i'll share any spare maps i have within the size limit to get the ball rolling
A couple of years ago I tried to make a "world map" for my autistic worldbuilding project that essentially is set in a gigantic, biotechnological City located in east asia. I'll propably try to revisit this map next year with the aim of making it more legible as well as obscuring it's geographic location a bit more. A location grid system is also an useful element I plan on adding. On some level I've considered just turning this map project into some sort of web page etc where one could just click on different filters and shit to see different elements of the map.
>>97244969Looks good! >>97245122I can easily put a grid over anything i want, but i want my terrain to allign with my grid and not just wander randomly through it, since im trying to get battlemaps >>97245603Very nice! Its a hell of a lot of locations. Im not sure if you can share obsidian links, but that might be the go for all the interconnected links that place has
>>97244969

>>97247344Nice, which program is that? stars are treasure? I like that you have a shit room>>97247348Hey i think i have that program, it seemed interesting but i never got it to work quite right. Does it have features to let you edit the terrain after generation, or just draw directly?

>>97242978Trollsoup.com had some of the licensed Epicast Eldar resin vehicles
>>97242978it's good stuff, and Foundry are the only ones with ex-Citadel production legit because they were founded by Bryan Ansell who got a load of stuff which Citadel wasn't gonna use after he left. Anything else floating about out there is recasts of stuff that made its way out through other methods.
This is from a '88 white dwarf.
I love minis and so should you :)post your favorite minis or minis that you think are terrible
>>97236227Pretty sure those came at a time when GW and co were getting into CAD. The GK Strike Cruisers from the same era were also too perfect/clean edge to not have been CAD origin.
>>97238392If you look at the Mechanicus battleship's prow more closely you can see the little irregularities in the triangular chevrons on the red armor plate, the holes in the top of the quarter armor, and the arches on the armor, not to mention things like the panel lines on the sail behind the bridge. Battelfleet Gothic stuff was shockingly simply-sculpted. The line is almost entirely built up out of plastic strips, punched circles, and tubing. GW even did some features in White Dwarf about the sculpting process. I'll have to see if I still have the archive I put together on this computer.
I love this old bastard

>>97238715>Very disappointing that they would rather create a new 'pseudo vintage' format instead of supporting the existing one.I agree with the sentiment but I think you're still misunderstanding the situation a bit, turning explorer into "tournament pioneer" was feasible not just because the most important cards were already on the client, it was also because pioneer is the nonrotating format with the smallest card pool, there are only so many cards not on the client currently that could suddenly become competitive and force them to include them in a hurry, vintage isn't just the power 9 + banned legacy cards, it's the entire 30 year history of magic, the premise of turning timeless into "tournament vintage" is just completely beyond their scopehistoric exists because the timing of introducing pioneer was not coordinated with the arena team and the game needed a nonrotating format to deal with rotation and timeless exists because we kept getting cards banned in historic without having anywhere else to play them, neither of these formats were created with the idea of eventually transitioning into other formats, they're just results of arena having to deal with all the stuff they keep shoving into standard sets

Can I get a lore drop on the chiss ascendancy? I don't know much about legends but I downloaded a mod for star sector that adds the empire, republic, cis, etc. and them to the game and the chiss are just glassing the fuck out of every planet of their enemies. Normally that's a bad idea because war crimes means everyone but your cloest allies, and their greatest enemies, immediately declare war on you, but they are just doing saturating bombardments on all their enemies consequences be fucking damned
>>97247115some sort of blue tribal (?) empire in the unknown regions
>need to read one or more literal textbooks before being able to engage with the gamehonestly that's kinda crazy
>>97245745There are barely even any rules in the dmg. It's mostly (bad) (non)advice and lists of things.
>>97245838I would cut OP some slack if he were talking about the way some books are poorly laid out and all the rules you need end up haphazardly sprinkled throughout the entire book with no quick ref and poor formatting so it's a pain in the ass to find the rules when you need them. But that's not what this is about. It's about OP being a dumb faggot who is intimidated by middle school-level writing for the games he claims he wants to play.
>>97239943If I bring all the relevant books every time I have a session, why would players buy their own books unless they were running their own sessions?
