>>97236668The GOAT is anyway.
>>97234059It’s a very low goal for an entire year, I was 1000 before I knew that chess had openings. I kept getting annoyed that people would “copy” each other and rage in chat that they should try having their own ideas. Some guy eventually was like “Uh it’s just the Ruy Lopez” and I went down a rabbit hole, in amazement. Your goal for next year if you’re not retarded should be 1500 minimum. All time controls.

>>97262537Only choosing to remain ignorant after being confronted with the fact is evil
Sakuyamon is SO fucking stupid
>>97263150idk what this discussion has turned into but the entire point of the you can be convinced of a crime you didn't know was a crime is that ignorance isn't an excuse, his argument of >well I have never heard anyone use K for blackis fucking irrelevant, it isn't okay to kill someone because you didn't know murder was illegal. Not only this but hes STILL salty about it being pointed out just a dozen posts above him where CYMK, which uses K for black, is an incredibly popular printing standard, older than printing it self as this setup for subtractive color was codified for stained glass windows and is legitimately thousands of years old and there are church documents dated to thousands of years ago talking about using similar colors for how to make effects for stained glass windows.

Without doxxing myself too much: I have a bit of experience (both academic and as a hobby) with both the early 1500s in Europe as well as Dutch Golden Age (and 18th century) history, and since I have nothing better to do this morning I'll do an autism and comment on the Marienburg information and art being given here.>>97261440>>New Campaign for 5e simmiler in scope to TEW set in OstlandAbsolutely fucking grim, Hochlandbros... Every northern province except Hochland now has some dedicated RPG information. Instead Hochland is already the neighbouring antagonist state for Middenland and Nordland (and maybe Talabecland in that new RPG book), and there already is some confirmed border conflict between Ostland and Hochland in older fluff. I don't mind painting an army for the elusive overly antagonistic fantasy Tyroleans/Swabians/Upper Saxons though.>Some info on the new Marinaburg book>book looks to offer a meaty lore resource for one of the Old World's most important city states. This sprawling metropolis, crisscrossed by innumerable canals and wharfs, is a remarkable cultural melting pot that's home to fabulously rich shipping barons and shadowy under-folks alike.That's a fair description for the Fantasy equivalent of 17th century Amsterdam I guess, except that when we're talking about "melting pot" Amsterdam at this era it's generally a bunch of different groups of Germans, with the most exotic being the sephardic Jews being given some modicum of autonomy and their own neighbourhood. The "ethnic group being de facto given its own neighbourhood" is in the old Marienburg RPG fluff already, so I hope they continue that.(Multiposting time)
>>97263300>>97261467>Artist for the RPG book being given some art pointers about WFG being set in the "16th century" and with Marienburg being "Golden Age Amsterdam" in particular>Just copies Vermeer's MilkmaidThat's atleast a bit kino. I also like that we're finally pivoting back towards Ye Olde Peoples wearing colourful clothing again. I hate how the American cultural elite has forced the bleak shit-stained medieval trope upon us for the past three decades. The medievalist arthoes have saved us in this department.I think the art looks okay, a sailor's tavern would be one of the few places where you'd actually see that diversity (besides the brothel next-door), although I doubt you'd have that many Chinese people there - maybe an elf, a couple of dwarves and a few fantasy Arabs would fit better. Bummed that they continued with the censored mermaid motive, I get that we don't want to actually flash kids with booba art in these books, but barebreasted heraldry is a thing (and gets even more ridiculous than Marienburg's). I know that American censors are a little more gung-ho about this, so it's probably done for that market in particular.>>97261476Smaller ships can be a thing, especially if Marienburg is doing River Reik shipping, but this is probably the artist's first time trying to draw non-High Fantasy sailing ships, and they look horrendous. Especially that rope ladder (as pointed out by >>97261521) is horrid.Either the artist or the RPG writers are scared of short shirts and codpieces.>>97261492Comment too long.

Dubs and above turn into canon.
In the southern kingdoms, the Kingdom of God maintains the unity of the faith through the Holy Inquisition. The Inquisition is an order of clerics descended from the Severan Monastic Order that once settled doctrinal disputes and canonical law. Now they relentlessly hunt the foes of the Holy Church, be they Saracen or heretic, and will hunt monsters as Satan defiled the garden and brought lycanthropy into the world. Inquisitorial Acolytes tend to work in cells, answering to a Lord Inquisitor. These cells generally have four roles:>The Investigator: generally, the captain of the squad. An expert in heresy investigations with a background in witch hunting, he's the one tasked with leading and managing the squad. He's the one who supervises the interrogations, judges the honesty of confessions, studying clues, and overseeing the inspection of suspicious zones. He also acts as Judge, Jury, and Executioner. Deciding who lives and who dies. >Holy Blades: a squad of warriors that escorts the investigator. These men are atypically recruited from the knightly orders or from feudal levies and are authorized by the Investigator to kill anyone deemed an enemy of the faith. To symbolize their induction into the Blades, they are given swords anointed in holy water thus symbolizing their status as defenders of the Faith. >Torturer: the name says all. They are the dead eyed men who apply the terrible tools of the Investigator to the accused. And they're good at it, recruited from the numerous prisons and dungeons that dot the southern lands. But the Inquisition doesn't just take the average Gaoler or Ramsay Bolton, nope. All torturers have a medical background and are entrusted with monster vivisections, often being sawbones in their former lives. >Theologian: experts in religious theology and holy law. They are the ones who dictate conundrums like so and so is a saint, or if one vow of poverty is too extreme. They also make sure that the Investigator adheres to canonical law.
Currently, a fierce armed conflict is taking place in this area of the world between the Confederation of Anukie Tribes (deer people) and the Great Roblon Grove (tree people).
niggers tongue my anus
>>97263235And although the Roblones initially had the numerical advantage, since the Anukie began summoning the Yahui (Fire Serpents), the balance of power has shifted in their favor.The reason the Anukie haven't won yet is because it takes 100 sorcerers and a sacrifice to summon a single Yahui, which can only be summoned at night because sunlight is harmful to them.while the assistance of the Muzenkab (bee people) as infiltrators and spies among the Anikie to obtain information for the Roblones has kept the weight very balanced.
The setting is undergoing a Protestant Reformation in the south. The colder parts of the League are gravitating towards hardcore reformed denominations with predestination and strict communal hierarchies. The warmer parts either like the Church or just want to stop its political dominance, similar to England during the reign of Henry the VIII. The Papal State wants to maintain its dominance and plays up the threat of the Caliphate that is looking more and more like a paper tiger. >>97262323>2323Huh. Weird.

Again, a little undersized to be a proper monster truck, but I like the way it came out nonetheless with the Boneshaker skull on top, fit to the engine and the spine running off the back. The hardest part was getting all the tubes into the...radiator, I guess, in the front, but it looks proper menacing.

>>97262467Protection From Evil wouldn't protect you at all from something like Insanity. It's pretty specific in what it does:>the barrier blocks any attempt to possess the warded creature (by a magic jar attack, for example) or to exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment (charm) effects and enchantment (compulsion) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subject, such as dominate personKeyword here is "ongoing control." Unless whatever effect renders your character Insane also grants someone else control over your character, you're shit out of luck. Better hope the cleric has a straitjacket and/or a scroll of Heal saved for you.
>>97250122AC is only reliable if your enemies do no have intelligence or DM doesn't use NPC WBL. Otherwise fucking over armor and shield AC is very cheap.
>>97263044>INCLUDING enchantment (charm) effects and enchantment (compulsion) effects that...Anon, that's definitional "Inclusive" language, not exclusive. Mental compulsions as a whole are block and ongoing enchantments are just one example.
>>97263089>>97263044>>97262467as per the 3.5e FAQ:What exactly does the second effect of protection from evil do, anyway?[...] The key phrase that defines this particular effect of the spell is as follows: “ . . . the barrier blocks any attempt to . . . exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment (charm) effects and enchantment (compulsion) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subject . . .).”[...]The first part of this phrase describes the basic criteria by which the DM should judge protection from evil’s effect: If the incoming effect attempts to exercise mental control over the creature, protection from evil likely suppresses that effect. The parenthetical portion of the phrase provides two specific examples (pointed, obviously, at rules elements of the Player’s Handbook) to help judge what exactly is meant by that:1. Enchantment (charm) effects. Simple enough--protection from evil automatically suppresses any enchantment (charm) effect, such as charm person or enthrall.2. Enchantment (compulsion) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subject. This is where adjudication gets trickier, because you have to decide what “ongoing control” means. The Sage recommends a broad definition, which includes any non-instantaneous effect that prevents the target from exercising full control over its own actions.Comment too long.

>>97263308Personally, I would rule more narrowly than what the Sage advises. As a DM I draw a strong line between the spell granting the caster control of the player, and the spell itself controlling the player. A target rendered confused, as the spell, isn't more susceptible to the requests of the caster, unlike a charm target. Otherwise, Protection From Evil renders the target near-impervious to almost anything mind-affecting, which is too much for a 1st-level spell.

Does the town actually have a name?I wasn't sure what we were rolling with, so I was pretty vague on details in my piece - the tentative name I'm rolling with is Jixian City, but I'm happy to edit that if anyone else has a suggestion.I think the city should mostly have commoners and merchants, the kind of people who work to support the Xun Clan in things that are either beneath them or they can't easily get on their own. So maybe farms, or mining spirit stones for them. Best benefit of moving there is probably protection (at least until the Ghost domain started going crazy) and most of the cultivators barring like Moyu and Heinrich/Wen are pretty benevolent.

Hello! Anyone have a resource for the newest MESBG rules? Looking for an epub and/or pdf of the newest Armies of Middle-Earth
First squad " done " (mostly missing final highlights but I need to get the other 2/3 of the army table ready in just over a week so that can wait)
Finished the team. Just a couple score markers left to paint.
