Would you consider this IP slop or worth playing?At least the system isn't d20 or PbtA...
>>97252712>Referring to Monty Python as a singular person...
>>97252685IP slop. And I'm saying that as someone who loved the tv show and movies. Spamalot and Not the Messiah were also IP slop, but I don't begrudge Eric Idle the opportunity to rake cash from braindead nostalgiafags.
>>97252685All of these forced comedy games are crap. You can't make people funny.
>>97252735>refering to Monty Python as a concept
>>97252685Monty python is at its best when it's intelligent. If these people where intelligent they wouldnt need to use the IP to sell their game. It follows logically that the game must be shit
with all the AI there is on the internet, google only give me is the same oni mask done a million timesthe internet is dead (or at least google image search)
>>97216878As far as a I know only 4 color of Oni was described in historical source. I checked this site and it either refer to itself or send you to Chinese Wikipedia site that is hardly a good source. If you want to learn something about Oni I recommend reading books about Yokai, "The book of Yokai. Mysterious Creatures of Japanese Folklore" by Michael Dylan Foster is a good example mostly because it have a big list of reference how and from where data was collected.
You should ALWAYS cheese every encounter. If you EVER end up in a situation that even remotely resembles a fair fight, just run away and wait until you can rig the situation to your favor. Use your fucking brain. Even if it is highly improbable for you to lose a given fight, statistically speaking, you'll still eventually croak if you keep taking those bets. Don't leave it up to chance. It's easier than you might think, you just need to use your noggin. It's not a video game. You can do whatever the fuck you want.Just the other night my party ran into a melee monster in a narrow ass room that they for some reason decided to ram their dicks into until someone died. When I suggested that we retreat for a bit and lure it into the room with the big ass statues so we can all just climb them and shoot it to death, they looked at me like I just escaped from the looney bin. They all died of course.
>>97252702I'm sorry you can't understand basic greentext. I'll be more explicit:Character death is not a big deal. Making the game boring because you're avoiding any sort of risk is. I play games for fun, and your strategy is terrible for that.
>>97252724>assigned generalSome literal retard just admitted they want posters herded into some autist's project. The quality of the 'discussion' is improving all right....
>>97252729NTA but why would my character take on an obviously fucked encounter?I dont do what OP does but I would genuinely like to. If i had a table full of players like he and I, I would.It just doesn’t make any sense to me.
>>97252770There's an enormous gap between, "don't fight battles you can't possibly win" and "never fight a battle unless you can't possibly lose".Regardless, there are plenty of reasons why a person might stay in a fight they can't win, from stupidity to ideals. Besides which it doesn't matter whether my character would want to or not because they aren't actually a real person and have no say. If I think it'd be more fun for them to go out in a blaze of glory then they shall.
This is assuming it's possible to disengage or escape without increasing the risk or putting yourself in a worse situation, i.e. split up and with half the party unable to disengage from what is now 2:1 odds of defeat. If your DM just roleplays enemies like dragonquest slimes that won't even try to strategise against you and just let you escape then it's only natural to abuse that, I suppose.
Why were so many of the "OG" game designers insufferable faggots? It seems like the vast majority of game designers from the 70s and 80s were self-obsessed dickheads who openly hated and looked down on their customer base. There were obviously exceptions, and some like Gygax would go on to regret and apologize for it, but still, what made so many "professionals" back then such fags?Pic related: WFRP author James Wallis's response to a letter criticizing how railroaded The Enemy Within campaign was.
>>97252556Which is a massive step back on their control when they could also do all that, but now you can reply to them on social media with an AI picture of them kissing a dude and they can't stop you.These kinds of dudes were always awful, absolutely nothing about them has gotten any worse. Look at >>97251684 , does this look like the kind of guy who was full of restraint and patient measures but now would be worse?
>>97252538We're not necessarily talking about a benevolent bestowal or even a willing donation. Players will be forced to grant powers upon a DM often even reluctantly or even unwillingly.You're not particularly clever for assuming and applying the wrong definition of a word.
>>97250997>It seems like the vast majority of game designers from the 70s and 80s were self-obsessed dickheads who openly hated and looked down on their customer base.That's a lot of words just to write "boomers"
>>97252222Describe your character without mentioning their class, their stats, or their name. In fact, answer the following questions about the last character you played:1) What does the character have in their pockets/purse?2) What does your character do on a Sunday?3) What was the best birthday gift the character received?4) What does the character think about the policies of the mayor/leader of the community?5) What is the character's handwriting like?6) What is the character's favorite color?7) What tics does the character have when they need to sit still for a while?

>>97252827>>97252834Please stop posting pictures of shirtless men and talking about cocks.
>>97252834NTA, but I don't think they insinuated the respective man was "gay" so much as the man had feminine traits, and that on some genetic level, they were seeking out someone with more dominant traits to produce more capable offspring. Sounds like a neat theory, but it falls apart under scrutiny. Trying to isolate preferred traits in a complementary partner for one offspring or the other isn't a guarantee for success. You're just as likely to generate a masculine female or an effeminate male, depending on how the genes are distributed, which is, of course, random between the two parents. Rather, I would argue humans seek partners that are viable for breeding. Muscular girls fall into that basket (the same way as thin and mildly plump girls to). Some outliers are attracted to midgets and BBWs, but those extreme cases are statistical noise, relatively speaking.
what about female orcs?

>>97252862I must say bug facts anon, Something about your parasite like companions really resounds with me, I can't tell if you infected me or it messed with a strain of my own. But what I'm trying to say my dear anon, is that I really appreciate your jumps and companions and now I'm looking up different types of slimes and how much I want to take care of them
>>97252877There's something mighty peculiar about a Nazi anon celebrating getting infested with parasite friends, but I can't pin down what.Something something miscegenation something colonisation.
>>97252877Heads up for Ambition of the Slimes, they look a lot uglier up close. Despite their sprites looking cute, during combat exchanges their more detailed art shows they can look pretty disgusting. That said, you could humorously use Asset Recycling to make them look more like conventional JRPG Slimes.
>>97252883I'm not the one being infested, and I don't allow them to just infest anyone else unless I give permission. I treat them and prefer them to act like symbiotes, since just taking over and attacking innocent people makes me mad. It has to hit the right balance or I'll want them dead or I'll adopt them >>97252884Looks don't bother me much, but it will help them get along with others. Thanks again my dear bug facts anon.
Yesterday was the day of Kujichagulia, and we know that any anon has the power to become a jumpmaker. Before that was the day of Umoja, for we must remain strong against the reddit hordes. Today is the day of Ujima: We all have a responsibility to help make this community great, whether by contributing jumps/writefagging or doing what we can to refine the product of jumpmakers' labor.

>>97248967What kind of masochist doesn't take the pawn here? I'm sure I would.
>>97223677>[Go doesn't] have 4-10 move checkmate tricksthere are plenty of tactics in saving weak groups, life-and-death, connection battles, and ko fights, but they they may only give you a local result rather than a game ending advantage. There is such depth of strategy, makes me wish I learned to play it much earlier in my life.
>>97249495I would take the pawn too. But only because I wouldn't see Bxh6 gxh6 Bxc6 Bxc6 and Qg6+ with perpetual check. He just sacs everything for a draw, because it's Magnus.

To the anon who had trouble with aerospace fighters in AtB, one way to solve the issue of the bot bombing you on turn one is to use your own interceptors and play out the air battle beforehand on a high altitude map. Then the side that won air superiority gets to join the ground map after as many turns as the air battle took.The logic behind this being you would have your air battle on a separate map in table top and would not be able to bomb with impunity on turn one. It is a stop gap until we get multiple map support in megamek.
>>97252927How would I set that up? My first thought is to just dump all the stuff in a separate MM game then set the winner to enter on the appropriate turn. But how would I get damage to carry over?
>>97252918IIRC Germanium is one of the rare earth elements (which, despite the name, aren't actually all that rare, but normally found in such tiny concentrations that it's rare for them to form ore deposits), in which case you'd be looking for highly derived magmatic rocks (basically the very last rocks that crystallized in a large magma chamber) or certain kinds of volcanogenic hydrothermal deposits. Most REEs stick to the molten phase of rock for as long as possible, so they tend to get more concentrated in the remaining fluid as crystallization progresses. And in most cases the magma will cool down too quickly to allow for a high REE-concentration phase to separate.
>>97252956To carry over damage use the mul file generated at the end of the air battle. Next import the units to the lobby of the main game substituting the original fighters with survivors and the appropriate delay. Alternatively you can run both the ground battle and air battle at the same time in 2 instances of megamek and when the air battle is done use the [reinforce from mul file] option to import the surviving fighters to the side that won, or even give both sides their surviving fighters if the air battle was inclusive.
>>97246352hostis humani generis>>97246421You make a good point. A mercenary is an employee whereas a privateer is a licensee.Additionally, mercenaries are “foreigners” relative to the conflicts in which they fight. By contrast, privateers are subjects of the sovereign from whom they obtain their letters of marque.Wolf’s Dragoons, for example, could never make it as privateers, lacking the requisite patriotism.
The DM reveals that all this time, the 'Chaotic Evil invading soldiers' you've been fighting and slaughtering were actually Lawful Good innocent untrained peasants. They were tricked/convinced into believing they were fighting for survival and defense of their impoverished homeland.THE PALADIN FALLS AND LOSES ALL POWERS!!!Do you feel like a hero yet?
>>97252494Most soldiers believe they are doing shit for the good of their nation and/or are just following orders that they will be killed for disobeying. >THE PALADIN FALLSThat's retarded. If the paladin believes his actions were in keeping with his oath at the time, he won't fall because he was misled.Alternatively, if the killing of the opposing side was all it took before divine forces yeeted the paladin juice out of him, then he would have fallen the second he killed the first swinging dick he fought.
>>97252494If the paladin is slaughtering people before bothering to look into it, he deserves to fall. Just because you lack morals doesn't mean a paragon of good should.
>>97252494>Do you feel like a hero yet?You're quoting a very gay retarded railroad vidya so I can tell this thread is also going to be gay

Or is there one that fits a particular type of dragon more than the others?
>>97237646do you play games?
>Dragons that exist on a level above Kings and are paid tribute but otherwise largely don't interfere with the affairs of mortalsThis is the way
>>97237640Both of these are fucking insanely gay, kys deranged lizard fetishist.>>97237663>>97237838Based. Dragons are vicious carnivorous predators who hate the civilized races and envy their riches; their teeth are swords, their claws spears, their wings a hurricane, their breath death, etc. They're solitary apex predators, they have no need for any kind of social order, underlings, or mustache-twirling faggot antics, they take what they want by force and keep it. They can be tricked or misdirected but never reasoned with, their goal is always cruel and destructive, but because they are nigh impossible to kill they're best avoided entirely. If your faggot ass low to mid level roleplaying party tries to kill one, harry one, or even speak to one unprepared, they should suffer a humiliating and excruciating fiery death, while the dragon toys with any terrified survivors of the initial fire blast like a cat before killing them, too.

I read the book a long time ago so I can't promise I'm not misremembering.And yes of course Smaug does quickly see through the flattery but that's because Bilbo actually was trying to steal from him.
