Given that anime and anime inspired cartoon styles have become pretty much the norm or at least incredibly common in most other forms of indie entertainment (TTRPGs, videogames, comics, animation, even miniature wargames). How comes it remains a relatively rare style to find in board games, an industry that operates almost entirely in the form of independent creators and small studios? How comes it still carries associations of being an art-style of games "for kids"? It was so strange when pic related came out seeing people "warning" others that even tho "it looks like a game for kids, it's actually quite difficult and heavy".
>>97826974>Given that anime and anime inspired cartoon styles have become pretty much the norm or at least incredibly common in most other forms of indie entertainmentI think one contributing factor to why this is so is because anime is just entertaining so naturally people want a slice of the anime pie to try and mimic it's aesthetics to get sales and support. But maybe one reason it isn't very common in board games is due to not wanting to be go with what is more popular and try to stand out as anime might be too mainstream now?Just guessing.
>>97827637Even Transformers tackled that stuff when the studio censors allowed it to. Showing the violence in the form of giant robots blowing up allows you to get away with themes for younger audiences that would be frowned on if you depicted soldiers realistically killing each other, like in LotGH.
>>97826974>quite difficult and heavyIt barely hits the midweight rank of an eurogame.
>>97828086>translation is difficult (this alone is enough to stop most japanese /tg/-related projects from going anywhere)>sometimes translated shit does not fit in the same amount of space that the kanji originally took up, whicher means reformatting, redesigning, and re-layout-ing entire books, game pieces, box design, etc>it then has to be mass produced and shipped around the world, which means shipping and warehouse costs tooVidya has the benefit of being able to be sold digitally. Tabletop games do not.
>>97828134Wizardry had more influence of Japan's concept of fantasy than D&D. Lodoss war started at D&D, but then became Sword World because Japan gave so few fucks about actually importing more D&D shit.
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/9fzM6128Comment too long.

>>97838101His players went fishing and they then smoked the fish and made some gold. That's the story. And now fishfag calls everyone fishfag because he can't stop thinking of fish.

>>97833209It didn't help that Sorcerers (and other spontaneous casters) were screwed over by the metamagic system and the Wizard got bonus metamagic/item creation feats.
>>97831790>same proficiencies,Sorcerers got all simple weapon proficences while Wizards started with only club, dagger, light crossbow, heavy crossbow and quarterstaff. Didn't mean very much as the crossbows were pretty much the best of the simple weapons.

>>97833916Wizards and wise men and sages were often fortune tellers. Star readings and whatnot. Maybe even an oracle or seer.

Respect their profession.”—“What the fuck. It’s evil and heretical and demonic and I don’t like it. Therefore witchcraft.”—“Ackchyually, a Witch is a female Warlock who makes Pacts with-“—“Please shut the fuck up before I murder you…”

>>97835979Yeah this is a good baseline, but you are running too many lvl 6 with hexeblau, which is why i like omni or PM.Regarding Paildras, both are good in different situations and you can run 7 or eight on your preference. I run 7 Paildras (4 of the new one and 3 of the Bt16 one) and 11 lvl 4 with 4 of each bt12 ones, and 1 each of ex1 Exvee, St9 Sting and Bt21 lighdra.

>>97835742Geez, fair enough. Though I would still say that as long as you make Mi-Go No. 4 the one the players investigate on their own, the frost weapon plan is still good. No. 4 only has 8 hit points, meaning even with the three points of armor and impaling weapons reduction, it's not hard to have the players beat it to death with melee weapons. Definitely not easy, they'll only have a round or two to do it and need to succeed a lot, but still viable.But like I said, old CoC adventures tend to have a lot of issues because the writers really didn't understand the intricacies of writing investigative horror at the time.
You ever have an idea for a good horror setpiece but then need to build a plot around it?
Is Delta Green the only good game to run a scenario based on SCP? I want to do stuff with Sarkicism.
>>97837467You could probably cobble together something with Chronicles of Darkness rather easily. The system is modular and allows for easy creation of any sort of monster or even characters for Sarkicist abilities, though you might want to read Second Sight for the latter. I recommend using Hunter: The Vigil, especially if you want to play as members of one of the masquerade upholding GoIs like the Foundation or the GOC. You might also want to consider looking into Deviant.
I want to run CoC for the first time. What Call of Cthulhu scenarios feel the most like Iron Maiden songs?

>>97837194I'm still sceptical about the 5 new armies part. Everything else about the last world and blablabla has too many different sources not to be real (in broad strokes) but those new factions seem to be entirely based on mentions in the core book which one or two leakers apparently have access to.
>First time painting something like a gnaw-beastDear lord and i felt i was fucking up the rat ogors before, this son of a gun is difficult for me since i can't seem to get the "blur" between the fur and flesh right
Finished a Chorf priest.
>>97837797It's been pretty much confirmed that there's nothing else to it. Just these factions getting mentions and maybe some artwork in the core book. Calling them new armies based on that is a serious stretch.
>>97838084Interesting headswap
Anyone got any better than this D&D now vs then comparison pics, especially for art style?Seeing the new MTG set look so incredibly gay and full of mediocre modern digital fantasy art is quite sad.
>>97832600Sure, but all beholders hate other beholders above all else. In some insane, complicated way, the gayholder is setting a trap for others if its kind.

>>97835712There is nothing more savage, cruel, and monstrous than a sexually desirable woman who knows it and uses it to get what she wants from men. The goblin on the left will have the decency to kill you brutally, the goblin on the right will destroy your life, your finances, your sense of worth and self, then bounce to do it to some other poor sod. And the moment, the actual moment she finds out you've started picking yourself back up, she'll make a beeline to you so she can do it all over again.
>>97833207This looks like shit.

>I can fix her>she can make me worseWhich way, Terran man?
>>97833804idk if he's said anything about it but I think Arioch's plan is to use AI for the background of interstitial scenes like the boarding action where the characters are only in a room for one or two pages. While rooms the characters will be in for long stretches (like the bridge of the bug ship, which the characters seem like they'll be on for like 100 pages) he'll 3D model them. Which I think is a sensible decision.
>>97807704kek wonky ass AI backgrounds on a glacially paced comic where nothing happens and they don't even fuck.if your comic is carried entirely by pussy you should stop half-assing it and just draw porn for fuck's sake
>>97815377>BlenderDoesn't it take years to learn and set up a workflow on any 3d program, and isn't Blender infamous for having a steeper and longer learning curve than others?I'm going to guess that he's doing this because of some AI assistance plugin or something because I do not see why he would consider this a worthwhile activity at this point versus any of the previous twenty five years of comics production.
>>97837247It could be just old-fashioned autism too.
>>97837247He probably doesn't want to pay $1000 to go from LightWave 9.6 to LightWave 202X. I don't know why you would need to swap from LW9.6 if you already have it, though.

>>97835087Honestly, I'm more annoyed at how the writer made her waste the second wish - I'm pretty sure that's not how Rings of Wishes/Wish spells work RAW, although it's been a while since I last read 2nd edition's rules on either of those.
>>97834651>>97834654I wonder how big she is? 200lb-230lb?
>>97834656Honestly, I don't blame her crashing out - she's had to deal with a shitload of grief and responsibility over a small space of time, and she just wasted TWO Wish spells in about a minute. That's got to hurt.

I bring with me a story, a story I must re-type because 4chan fucked my post in my dealing with IP range bs! Long ago, 16 years and a couple days ago, an anon made a small game called Wizard Battle and posted it to /tg/. Last year, someone on a discord server I'm in told me of the game and told me to do something with it. As such, I've cleaned the game up a bit in some parts, and filled it up in others. Since the original game was posted originally as a thread, I thought I would bring things around full circle.>but anon the amateur game design thread is 8 pages down the hall!Too bad, I already posted an earlier version of this in a game design thread.The game: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hm4bLdzsX4bzYMxgs-N1fnCNVDUwKKXxwxqD9eddqdkThe original: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/2010/8941465/
