Yeah we spent most of the previous session leveling up and discussing what to do with sword but also talking OOG stuff like what everyone did for new year n shit. Nobody knows (except DM) that Arrianne has 1 level of barbarian so errr...things are gonna become very funny if the sword falls into her hands and she becomes angy.

Replacing people SUCKS ASS, trying to make current players better will be easier. You have no idea how many times I've replaced one single fucking slot so far. As I said I will be incredibly cross with them if their habits haven't changed even a little bit.

>I expect the snakeman to engage with the hooks I throw, cause he wants his barbarian to seek ancient rituals to transform into something greater.
>I expect the paladin to zealously pursue the TWO villains that have slipped through her fingers and shove her bastards sword into their chests.
>Also I expect the monk to punch them very, very hard. That and fall for the efreeti noble leading the cult's offer of a Wish to get her family back.

My friend who played the Wizard decides he'll give it another go after hearing about the talks I had with them, and that I got rid of the Warlock. He'll be the true litmus test.

Also holy shit these captchas are getting a bit silly.

They are, it's just that their feelings are not what we'd traditionally call human, based on the subset of humanity capable of creating higher culture as a consequence of their access to more meaningful or higher states of emotion, such as universal empathy, and access to theory of mind.

To begin with, it entirely depends on what kind of mooks you fight and why they want to harm you.

Are we talking soldiers of an enemy state? What kind of war is this? Is it "i dont care if noble A or noble B is on top, for us down here all remains the same", or is it a case of "we will conquer and subjugate you, destroy your culture and society"

Is it criminals who are just desperate people trying to survive? Or is it the real world equivalent of mafia/ cartel/ street gangs, full of absolute bastards?

Are the mooks evil cultists trying to bring forth the end of the world and kickstart an age of endless suffering and darkness? Or a bunch of bored fags larping, who are in way over their head?

Depending on the type of mook and the type of their goal, it can either be very easy or increadibly hard to humanize them.

> Trite "le heckin subversion xD" garbage.
>subversion

The number of people who don’t know that Tolkien was Catholic and thus believed that there was no such thing as something born ontologically evil is both staggering and baffling.

>>97387987 >>97387113
> and not in line with established LotR lore

Within Middle-earth’s lore it is *explicit* that during the war between the Valar and Morgoth, *only* the Elves were entirely on one side (the Valar’s). Everything else was divided to some greater or lesser extent, and since when the war began Orcs had already come into being, this *must* mean that there were Valar-aligned Orcs.

I don't know which part of this has to do with me, I just wrote that I hated it. Which I do regardless of whatever it says in the Silmarilion or the Tanakh. Tolkien's christianity is the primary obstacle to the quality of his work.

>>97387128

This. The art is... fine, I guess. But it doesn't look to have anything to do with "Statis". It looks like the kind of art a beatnik would look at while drawing on a cigarette, calling it "Brilliant", while everyone around them thinks they are huffing their own farts just a bit too much.

>>97387218
Like, at a glance what I think is "Balance" not "Stasis" since both of the abstract concepts (?) are in a scale. I wonder how did the artist came up with this concept and why, but it fails the purpose of indicating what the idea of the card was.

>Do share how the first session goes and whether they like the game.

it went well. Teething issues as learming any new system has, mostly adapting to the damage reduction from armor and, in my case, working out a quick system for tracking armor ablation for enemies
ran the players through the scenario in Easy Mode, Getting Paid
pcs include a fairly stock solo, a drug dealing medtech who knows karate, a media flavored as a catgirl livestreamer whose ratings apparently come from violence, and... I forgot the last one. I want to say solo but can't be sure

dirty cops have kidnapped their fixer and stolen their payday. Luckily they are bad enough dudes to rescue their payday
They approach the shadowy figure with their money, get ambushed by dirty cops, combat ensues
mvp is definitely the media catgirl, who used her tripod in a manner consistent with a warhammer to kill 3 of the gonks
party captures last cop alive, rescues their fixer, discovers the cash in the briefcase was fake and drags the unlucky survivor along to the warehouse where the cops had stashed the real cash
party negotiated for 100% of the payday in exhange for captured cops life and giving them 2 minutes to evac before they burn the place down. Facilitating this, medtech made numerous allusions to just chopping up the captured cop for organs, right down to starting to mark off body parts with a sharpie
party now has a bounty

fullborg player couldnt join the session but he'll be joining next week

Absolutely blessed session 0, good job choom.
>I like the screamsheet format for adventures, they give you a story framework but leave most of the work in the GM's hands
This is pretty much what I do, I just skim a gig and get inspired for something of my own design. For example for the extremely well-written Agents of Desire I changed the Saturday Night Butt Kickers final battle to the crew infiltrating a yakuza lair (I mean come on if the idea was that Ai's engram could be cloned and copied as a free AI slave forever I feel like a bigger player would get it, not a technobarbarian gang), or for A Night at the Opera I set up the evil vampires as a huge infective presence down to even some NCPD having vampyre fangs and indoctrinated into the masquerade. And like most ref's I read Reaping the Reaper and thought that this plot point deserves a lot more love and made Reaper and his cloned AI into a more persistent threat. Also I took the various Bozo jobs and it inspired me to make an entire campaign out of it.

unplayable in every format

>>97387822
Literally has nothing to do with Standard.

>>97388497
Completely unplayable unless there's somehow a dominant combo deck that puts a bunch of triggers on the stack without letting any resolve, and it relies on counterspells to prevent disruption, and they can't splash black for hand hate or something like that. Or maybe a super heavy control mirror meta. But neither of those look to be happening any time soon.

You really are reaching with this one aren't you?

Picrel is a woman who was alive during the Horus Heresy. Does she have the same shoulder width as a man?

>>97387266
You're sidestepping. 40k humans are explicitly not pod people. Unless they wouldn't change the lore to say they were to make women as strong as men because that'd ruin the irl point they're trying to make.

The custodes tangent has nothing to do with that particular part. Custodes were always stated to be male until they changed it, though.

>>97385432
How much evidence do we even have women become gregnant? Given the power dynamics shown in media, the imperium seems like a matriarchy.

I'd guess that men are basically stupid breeding cattle that form babbies.

Printchads of the thread, I need some star wars alien heads for some kitbashes I want to do but I'm not getting much good shit searching on cults. Who are some sculptors I should check out that'll meet my needs?

That's funny, I think prepping mysteries is inherently easier than prepping a dungeon because you just need to know what the mystery is, have a cast of NPCs, and have some locations. With something like Delta green you don't really even need to stat much out, I'll usually have a loose idea of a couple of skills noncombat NPCs, and combat skills and weapons for any combat NPCs. Maybe a particularly nasty NPC might have a spell or two.

You do well to check out The Alexandrian blog, his game mastery 101 articles are solid, fundamental and concrete advice on how to get started. He also has a book, So You Want To Be A Dungeon Master, that is basically a restatement of 20+ years of blog posts in a more logical arrangement.

>>97388463

Post your finished minis, anon

This might seem like a stupid question, but what's the point of a smaller nozzle on an airbrush? Is it just for smaller details? Or for putting paint on the same size just slower?

>>97388331
How does it save you time? You have to scrape primer off, I don't. I save time, you don't. I don't see how it's easier to add bits either.

I called it rage bait as a joke, but it's because nothing you're saying seems to make sense.

>>97388361
It's for detail. Slower is done by easing off the trigger a bit.

>>97388361
Yes.
Quality airbrush with a ~0.2 nozzle, lower pressure, a flow improver, and you can do up to a hair thin detail work.

>>97387974
>reach and clearance mechanics to represent how restrictive a large weapon is in tight quarters or when the enemy is already in your face
GURPS has both of those
you get a penalty to your skill when trying to use a non-C (C for close combat) weapon in C range. And you get a penalty (or just straight up can't do it) when trying to swing a big weapon in tight quarters.
I don't care to go rule by rule about the rest of your post but all of that you mention except for "edge alignment" is in the GURPS Basic Set.

>>97387469
Even 3.5 did something like that with Weapon Finesse and a lot of the weapons that can be used to attack with Dex also having on average higher crit chances and multipliers, especially if they are martial weapons.
The game is quiet a bit better than what people give it credit for.

>>97388223
I just want to state for the record that I don't actually want any of that.

>>97383539
I personally prefer GURPS but Daggerheart is perfectly fine, not my favorite but I see what it's trying to do and GURPS probably isnt very good at the heroic OC donut steal type game of Dh. At the end of the day the important thing is having friends to play with, and fun situations will arrise.

I do like how Daggerheart encourages roleplaying with it's help and experiences mechanics paired with the high TNs so you're always invoking teamwork and whatever makes your character unique.
GURPS mostly does it with its social and mental Traits forcing you via compulsion rolls.
So GURPS limits the possibility space, which makes it easier for some players who prefer analyzing options and interacting with the fiction as a puzzle of sorts. And Daggerheart encourages creatively inserting your character traits in every situation you can which is better for other types of players who like a more narrative approach where their characteristics and emotions are a more important drive than the fictional consistency.
