If you don't typically interact with modern decks then I'd consider looking for a community that plays TOSS format, or if possible, Branded/DIFO format. Those are ~2019 and ~2021 respectively, where TOSS is dominated by 4 decks while Branded/DIFO has a better spread. Only problem with TOSS is that it falls under Master Rule 4's restrictions, so a lot of communities that run it will also have those restrictions (they are not good and force you to use link monsters if you want to touch your extra deck).

Anyway, Branded/DIFO is a good halfway point since it has some of the old design philosophies in motion while moving towards newer design choices, and TOSS is alright if you want a solved meta to help break the ice for you.

>>97262758
Because that's what we're being given and creating at this point. An amalgamation of things put together with various other things to make what resembles something cohesive but has little care put into it and is basically haphazard.
In terms of decks we used to call them "piles" IE spellcaster pile. Language evolves and a term to describe such conditions now exists so the term is used for it IE spellcaster slop.
The term can also refer to the input/new cards because they are equally haphazardly designed with a lack of consideration of how they'll interact with the rest of the game with a lack of restriction such as an archetype, type, or attribute lock.
Sure it can be cool but at some point it homogenizes things.

Ironically the term slop is also technically subject to being slop. Because there's no real limit to it's application it can be used wherever and on whatever. Homogenizing language and replacing many exclusive adjectives.

Grim.

>>97264194
How is that grim?

>>97264200
The first post they quoted is self-evidently grim and there were multiple replies explaining why. Can/do you read?

The second and third are a little harsher but I understand. It is pretty grim for someone to want to get into a miniature game but want (or have) to be like, "I can't buy any miniatures though." Use numbered tokens at that point instead of standees. But this is grim because of a society that leaves people too poor to buy miniatures, above all else.

>>97261802
>disconnect between player expectations of balance (that every option should be relevant and fairly well-balanced against each other)
curse those insane, unreasonable player expectations!
it has fuck all to do with design intent, cmon. GW not playtesting sufficiently isn't a new phenomenon. in 40 years they've released a grand total of zero games where the internal balance wasn't blown to shit. (which isn't to say they have made no great games, but you usually need 10+ years of post-oop community patches before you have anything that could be called "balance" with a straight face) they don't care now and they didn't much then either.

>>97264514
I meant the second conversation point. Using paper stand-in is ok. And noone needs to be able to buy minis. It is sad when someone cant afford them, but they are not that important to not use paper minis.

>>97264347
>No, vampires should not be able to bite through walls
Fuck you, they totally can. What's more scary than a guy who can eat through your nuclear fallout shelter door?

>>97264347

...why though? It seems no less silly than biting to me.

I'd like to think the logistics of Dracula unhinging his jaw to be able to bite through solid steel with his ultra diamond-tipped drill bit death fangs are a bit abused, but it does seem kind of silly that a werewolf can just force 3 inch keratin daggers through an equivalent steel door despite being superhuman, but then again WoD has never been terribly good on specifics.

>>97264569
My read on the game was that you were always meant to swing the mortals to your side, Immaculate or no. Most of them aren't even actively brainwashed. They only talk to normal, local priests and go through entirely mundane rituals. Meanwhile they're getting absolutely butfucked by the realm's shitty society.

>>97264569
You just don't get it Goblinblooded, when a man starts glowing gold and rides up to your doorstep on his silver catgirl gf (who is currently in the shape of a horsegirl) and declares that he's returned to bring the righteous justice of the sun to defend and protect the innocent. It just awakens something, even if he has no Presence Charms.

It's like Kamen Rider. You have to be there.

So, how do 2e and 3e Infernals compare now that the dust has settled a bit? And what do you think of the 3e Signature Infernals compared to the 2e ones?

>>97264783
3e is more constrained in a lot of areas, at least in terms of how you interact in a practical manner. Like if you go toe to toe with a Solar, he's more than likely going to beat your ass at actually achieving the goals you set out to do. However, you do things in a weird, wacky woohoo way that tends to inflict collateral (literally or figuratively) in place of sheer effectiveness. You do have a few really interesting trump cards that are harder to deal with, but you're no longer changing the type of game that's being played.

I don't remember any of the signatures

Fundamentally, that the mechanics are the 'standard fare', combat goes roll+mods vs static+mods, then roll damage (with mods), and I haven't seen anything different from the usual for out of combat stuff.
I know that I'm picky as shit about rpgs, but for my group this would raise the question of... why are we even playing this, and not just taking the setting and using a system that we all already know well?

Not enough granularity IMO but what do I know, I just own guns

Any good quick gadgeteering rules outside the ones in Basic Set? I'm looking for something with less GM fiat, and less reliance on $ value for deciding skill penalties

>>97264753
Here's what I do, with my slightly adjusted crafting rules from low tech:
>Your man-hour is worth $10.
>Your man-day is worth 75$
>Your man-week is worth 525$
>Quick Gadgeteer: If you have the quick Gadgeteer advantage, multiply your man-time by 100.
>You must have 20% in cost of the raw materials, then keep adding man-hours and man-days until you got the full price, then make a skill check.
>If you have materials worth more than the minimum 20% you may use those to reduce the amount of time spent with man-hours.
Example: Edgy Rapier costs 900. 900*20%=180 so you have 180$ worth of iron first, and then add 75$ every day until you reach 900, so it would take around 9 days to craft it. If you had the quick gadgeteer, your man-hour would be worth 1000$, allowing you to craft the rapier in a single hour!

If I want to push for mythic do I run out of time in 24 hours or 48 hours? Or something else?

>>97261265
Well? Did you?

so once again trying to play brawl, and Im watching as my opponents consistently are playing and responding at a breakneck pace. literally casting cards before their land for turn even finishes the animation of it entering and tapping. actually fucking bot matches where they get the magical christmasland hands every single game.

Is there even any point playing it out when you go second in brawl?

>>97264747
Yes, if you can't win on the draw it's a skill issue

>>97263416
I liked the 'masquerade' element of it. The masses should not know about the Gods. This is, of course, something that could very well change during the course of the story your players are telling, but at a base level, the Gods should be underground and subsisting off what are essentially worship scraps while they get their scions to do things for them in mortal world.

>>97263453
Fair take. The masquerade's orders of magnitude superior if the devs aren't willing to go all in and actually change things up and engage with the concept of the gods being real and being active.

>>97262932
>Chosen
The self-made man. You were such a natural badass that you impressed a God into feeling kinship with you, that they made you their Scion. Or you were raised in a cult. It’s 50/50.
>Born
You’re only special because your Divine Parent was horny. Not bad, just typical.
>Incarnated
Ironically, the most “Chosen One” origin. You’re special because you actually are that deity. How original.
>Created
Your whole reason for existence is because your Divine Parent wanted a Scion, but they either
>Are an autist
>Get no bitches
>Hates zoomers
they opted to make you from scratch instead. You are fundamentally a pawn. I mean, all Scions are, to varying degrees. But this Origin is the most explicit.

If you really cared about the conservattion of old miniatures then you would know recasters exist.

>>97264418

>>97264660
Just because you don't have their emails doesn't mean they don't exist.

>>97264669
I dont think that they recast every old mini. Some sculpts are probably lost since they dont got their hands on unassambled parts.
Or are so rarely ordered that it doesnt make sense to have the molds for it.

>>97264712
You had a con game where the GM did and said nothing for an hour? What's the point of lying?

>>97264725
Nope.

>>97264725
So what? It doesn't matter if you've personally had bad games. That isn't evidence for or against Wick being full of shit, which he is.

>>97264739
When it comes to John Wick, I assume that he's not intentionally lying about the contents of his games, just about how much his players enjoyed his chicanery. And I'm basing this primarily on the fact that the Scorpion Clan in L5R, aka the backstabbing bag of dicks clan, were his favorite and supposedly at least one named one was his personal player character. That and most of his tall tales are of him using railroading and rule abuse to fuck over PCs, which is generally on par with most narcissistic or power-abusive GMs in general. He's not unique in that regard.
