This is what it means to be a true hero.

So with CGL testing pickup play missions in the current Playtest packet, we need to come up with something better, because we need to always have a better alternative to make it clear how shit CGL is. So how do we make a better pickup game system for Battletech?

The classics were miserable then and are miserable now. It doesn't accurately reflect 90% of the fantasy genre or create a good gaming experience.
People enjoyed it back then similar to how people 15000 years ago felt warm in their shallow cave at night - it's better than not having any option. Compared to a warm modern house, or a correctly designed game, that experience was always terrible, people just gaslighted themselves.

>Two were warships in the loosest possible sense; vast, brutal conglomerations of iron plates, gun decks, and exposed engine spines, bellowing static and challenge on every frequency at once. The third was something worse. A hollowed-out asteroid, its original mass mutilated beyond recognition, bristling with so many crude propulsion systems that it no longer travelled so much as thrashed through space, spiraling and smashing itself into whatever space debris was in its clumsy path.

>Together, they descended upon the Pleasure Moon.

Classified as strategically negligible, denied formal fortifications, and stripped of meaningful void defenses on the grounds that it produced nothing of value beyond indulgence and morale, the moon lay exposed. Its orbital traffic control logged the incoming signatures. Its administrators issued queries. Its defense committees convened emergency sessions that achieved nothing at all.

>TQ:
I've been developing my own alternating activation war game. Designed and printed my own bases and meeples in Blender for playtesting and it's been going well. I've got the core rules essentially finished and I've got 9 complete factions with 11 units each that I've been slowly playtesting and tweaking.

I've been using 40k terrain and objective templates since they're going to be close enough in size to my idea to work for testing.

Still have a little ways to go before it's even close to being polished, and I'm years away from ever being able to design my own minis with my basic Blender skills. I'm hoping I can tune it up to a point where I can actually be able to pitch it one day. The few people I've gotten to playtest it so far at least enjoyed the fact that it's not warhammer, so that's nice.

This year it would be nice if I got it all cleaned up to a point where I can form a small consistent local play group.

The absolute state of modern Verbenae
>>>/his/18269156

So I'm the one working out a custom, homebrew Thaumaturgy path for divining True Names. Why is this important? Because one doesn't exist for vampires in the system, and thaumaturgists DO in fact utilize the slow, powerful practice of discerning something's True Name in order to endlessly invoke it for the purposes of substituting for rare, exotic, perishable reagents. Like wedding rings tinged with the longings of widows, or unicorn horn, or the states of solid, liquid and gas- and then the different periodic table elements, emotions, compounds like water, energies like fire, electricity and such.

All these rituals can be extended actions to improve duration of effects..

Level 1: Find the Name: This sensory thaumaturgy spell is built on the power of the level of the Path. At level 1 it improves the efficacy of True Name research by one hour per success, as mystical acumen guides the hands of the thaumaturgist..Where before mechanically one would treat time towards research as a 1:1, now you roll Willpower against a difficulty of 6 and spend a blood, improving the progress of researching and number crunching the name (which is already a kind of arbitrary handwaved process as is.) First by a single hour per success, then by six hours per success, then by one day per success, then by a week per success, then by a month per success, then by half a year per success.

Level 2: Find the Named: Once the Namer has the True Name of the target, they can invoke a ritual to always be able to tell where they are and what they're doing, regardless of distance so long as they exist, anywhere in time and space. Success on the Willpower roll equals duration it lasts, and while the very brief scry is crystal clear and gives the namer a 360 degree field of view around the target, more successes equals more accuracy on geoguesssing the target, the clarity of the scry and how long they can keep it up for.
(Continued)

The Erciyes Fragments provide a possible insight into what the Ventrue Antediluvian's blood requirement actually is. Quoth Caine
>Behold my proudest childe, whose own pride betrayed him. Let the blood of the humble sicken him, and give him no sustenance.

Given how humble is in contrast to Ventru being described as prideful to a fault, it sounds like Ventru can only drink from prideful mortals, and as anyone with a dash of humility sickens him. Now the text may not be literal, but it's the only bit of evidence one way or another we have.

Ultimately Ventru's blood type isn't even that restrictive, which I suppose follows as the Ventrue curse is entirely based on the individual, not the strength of their blood.

>>97284356
Level 3: Try the Named, Try the Namer
The Namer can temporarily erect a ward which disrupts attempts to discern their True Name. At their discretion, they can choose to make it a blatant effect, or a subtle effect. The blatant effect causes the True Namer intellectual pawing over the characteristics of their true name to indescribable mental anguish to soak with their willpower equal to the successes garnered on an Extended Action to build this protective barrier. Or, the subtle way, which makes the would-be attempter forget aspects of the True Name like a thief sneakily removing things from the shelves of another as they organize them, making sure they always lack crucial bits of the true name. This can also be done to cause someone else incomprehensible, debilitating pain or unease, once per day. It won't harm or kill, as the spontaneous nature of this Path is too dull and blunt for that, but as a demonstration of an infinite reach and influence, it can be mortifying.

Level 4: Share the Intuition. Anyone that gazes upon the Namer within 10 yeards/10 meters/30 feet gets visions of the True Name and the Named in all their complexity, seeing and comprehending what the Namer sees for the duration and enabling them to affect the target as if they had infinite range.

Level 5: Scribe the Name. Supernatural inscription motivates the sorcerer's hand. In whatever cypher they have developed to shorthand for True Names, uncanny accuracy will guide their actions while they hold the secrets of the target's true name in their mind, printing off a copy as perfect and accurate as the original comprehension of the name, saving time and effort.

>>97284384
Ventrue Rarified Tastes also absolutely can be things which don't exist anymore. Such as the blood of Doggerlanders, or members of city-states that don't exist anymore.

How this is resolved is other Ventrue more or less have to cordon off the poor bastard and let them starve for a while, then let them out. Whatever it is they wind up eating, they develop a new rarified taste for it. But it's not super predictable what that is or becomes, and cannot be really controlled.

So a Ventrue could exist, staked and waiting to rise from torpor, that can only subsist on individuals that specifically are CURRENT members of the Soviet Union. And modern day former-Soviet states, even individuals that were Soviet citizens, won't suffice. Because they aren't Soviets, anymore. Because the USSR is dead.

>>97280296
So FDM? What's the project? Unless it's some sort of cosplay props that are fuckhueg, just get a Creality or ELEGOO Centauri. You don't need all the bells and whistles at first, just get something that'll let you learn the basics of filaments, bed levelling, print settings and shit. Then you can buy addons like multi-filament expansions and stuff.

>>97280345
I watched this video on printing a giant kumiko wall hanger that's 11 feet by 3 feet.

>>97281376
How big are the pieces? The funny thing with resin is, if you print one or many on the same printrun, it takes the same time. FDM on the other hand takes the same time per model, so two take twice as long.

So it could be that printing in resin would take way less time than fdm if you can cram enough onto the buildplate.

>>97276255
resin allows finer details but different material properties. FDM is generally a less-involved and quicker process at the expense of minute detail. FDM printers tend to have more buildspace and filament is generally cheaper than resin so it's good for terrain, and filament is generally better for functional parts due to the properties of the materials used to print.
tldr resin is good for visual pieces, fdm is good for functional pieces. resin printing is a more labor intensive process

"AD&D" 2e is a bowdlerised knockoff for the storygaming special education kids of Satanic Panic moms. It's the worst edition ever published under the D&D brand. It's all unplaytested splatbooks which are literal shit and setting books written for nogame morons to read rather than play. It's unusable for OSR play because it breaks too many of the core OSR mechanics. It's usable for storyfagging in principle, but you have no reasons to choose it over editions that are much better designed for that style, like 3e and 5e.

If you think that pile of absolute garbage qualifies as OSR, it says everything about (You) and nothing about the OSR.

>>97283803
It's kind of funny that you think that your bullshit is anything even remotely connected with reality.

It's just AD&D but written in a clear and easy to understand fashion. All you've done is start with your conclusion ("Everyone must hate 2e") and then done the most pathetic mental gymnastics in hopes of presenting something you hope could be mistaken for an argument.

>>97283548
>actual 50-something year old grognards that played holmes and molvay when they came out will call even 5e offshoots like shadowdark and olde sword regin OSR
