Flow of gameplayOne of the big goals I wanted to achieve was to make the player's pilot character, and the player's mech feel like 2 halves of a single unit. Which leads me to my idea for the general flow of the game, as far as I'm concerned.Out of MEC activity>sessions or missions or however else you'd want to separate gameplay would start with out of MEC activity>While out of combat, gameplay is more freeform with less rules>Pilot character 'health' is measured in Fate points>Fate points are used to perform activities, and you can lose more if you fail any attempts at something>Losing all fate points means your pilot character is contextually 'unable to fight' (which could mean they're unconscious, wounded trapped, etc)>The player can still participate in the MEC combat, but they'd have to play as some NPC substitute pilot with no bonuses>The general goal of out of mec activity is to gather data or otherwise make the upcoming MEC battle easierPilot and MEC abilities>MEC construction and loadout naturally determines what your MEC is capable of doingComment too long.

>>97232229The one turn buff makes them t6. Berserkers are t4 base, they can take the +1T gift at 2ppm or something. That makes them t5 6++.
>>97232130Do you mean Kreugar?
>>97232241They'll tarpit something for a while but they'll probably lose to static combat res or any higher tier infantry Pretty sure my Storm Vermin break them
>>97232219Inconclusive if you mean broken in the sense that they're game breaking, not enough games have been played since the book came out for anyone to confidently make that claim. If you mean broken as in "there is no reason to ever not take this upgrade on everything that can possibly take it", then yes. People are even abusing a loophole to take UF on chaos lords/exalted champions. One guy did that (and took it on marauders and marauder horsemen) and came second at a 2500 point event. A T7 chaos lord with the armour of meteoric iron and the ogre blade riding a dragon is nasty. What we can conclude is that chaos warriors are no longer a viable unit for building a CR-brick, which mean they now only have one role in competitive play, which is being a sorcerer bunker. Go figure, a new chaos book comes out and makes chaos warriors worse. Fun.Semi-related, I wonder if 2500 or 3000 point games will become the standard going forward.

To preface, I'm an MTG veteran. My first Precon was Coven Counters in 2021 and I've been an EDH player ever since.After years of playing, I think the WUBRG elemental may just do me in. Gimmick synergy, tribal, a real throw in anything somewhat related type of commander potential. It also has the most forced WUBRG ability to date: being able to pay WUBRG in order to keep an Elemental you Evoked is utter bullshit. It completely defeats the purpose of Evoke and is just a continuation of "drop a set, put whatever you want under 1 commander."I hate it, you hate it, and it's just a slap in the face of previous WUBRG Legendaries that tried to be something more than tribal or gimmick synergy, or just cram some WUBRG ability in last second, such as [[Atogatog]] [[General Tazri]] [[Golos, Tireless Pilgrim]] [[Jodah, the Unifier]] [[Jenson Carthalion, Druid Exile]] [[Morophon, the Boundless]] [[Najeela, Blade Blossom]] and [[Ramos, Dragon Engine]] . And I'm missing a shitton of other WUBRG Legendaries that could be Commanders.But let's look at the new WUBRG Legendaries that could be Commanders (hint: they're all tribal, gimmick synergy, or cram in a WUBRG ability last second): [[Avatar Aang]] [[Cosmic Spider-Man]] [[Hei Bai, Forest Guardian]] [[Heroes in a Half Shell]] and [[Infinite Guideline Station]] .As long as WotC keeps dropping cards like [[Horde of Notions]] , MTG will die very soon and for real this time.
>>97232405>MTG will die very soon and for real this time.
This is great baitIf only every thread was this high quality
Low quality bait.EDH playing timmies will fall for it.

>>97190377 Maybe you could fashion a tool out of a paperclip. Chisel end it or wrap it with a little bit of fine sandpaper. Secure the sandpaper with a rubberband or super glue, secure the paperclip with a hobby knife handle if you have the right socket for it (a set if sockets are handy so you can fix a variety of tools to it)
>>97210457 I'm a little new to FDM, coming from MSLA, but there are some things you can tweak. If you're using Orca Slicer, under the Quality tab, try reducing the Slice Gap Closing Radius and the Resolution values. Some things still won't print for me though, and I think I need to change the extrusion width --I'm also running .4mm so that probably doesn't help
>>97231460Had a look, couldn't find anything.
Brand new to this whole thing but I have myself >ELEGOO Resin 3D Printer Mars 2 Pro MonoFor a starting. I hope I didn't make a mistake with it? All brand new and what not.
>>97232281Get a couple of silicon pads, preferably with raised sides. Put the printer on one, do processing on the other, including cleaning. If you run one of those wash units, maybe a third for that, but I wash by hand so can only guess. Aside from that, I put a thin film of ptfe oil on surfaces around the printer unit to help protect it some from spills and splashes. Just wipe on and wipe off, so there's a barely perceptible film on the surface. If you need to tape the edges of the screen, do that before though. Stuff won't stick well to surfaces once the ptfe oil is applied. Mars 2 is a little dated but can be a decent printer. Has a mono LCD and collimated light. If I remember right, the collimation lenses sometimes had some offset problems. A lot of printer designs moved from an array of lenses to a fresnel I think.

I would like to run a Rifts game. I created a shoddy system for Foundry to play Palladium Fantasy, but the core book was so badly written that I would not want to touch coding Rifts with a 10' pole. Are there any ways other than taking the SW pill to play rifts online?
>>97231440Not that I know of. There's an Excel character generator for sale on the Palladium Books website but I don't know of any automatic systems. Savage Rifts is much better supported in that regard.

Why is it that so many fantasy writers make their evil cults unjoinable by anyone with a functioning brain cell? Like why would you worship Orcus, whose goal is omnicide? Why would you worship Tzeentch if he’s probably gonna screw YOU over as part of his grand plan?What makes it so bizarre to me is that, firstly, it’s not like they need to be so off-putting to be evil. Orcus is a demon of undeath, his followers want to turn their enemies into the undead. Tzeentch wants the world to be in a constant cycle of chaos, his followers are gonna be masterminding world wars.Secondly, it’s not like we don’t have plenty of examples of real-world evil cults. A lot of cults in the West don’t follow Super-Duper-Mega-Murder Satan, but are fucked-up offshoots of Christianity. Historically, goetia was practiced by people who would’ve still called themselves Christians, while committing rituals to summon and get boons from demons. Plenty of human cultures used to sacrifice humans to their gods, not to summon them to kill everyone or some shit, but to honor and/or appease them.Like to use another example from Warhammer, I think Nurgle and Khorne present more “approachable” evil cults. Nurgle is toxic positivity, and his love will take all the pain away. Khorne is wrapped up in enough language about honor to lure people in.Like to rework an evil deity, let’s pick Lamashtu. Instead of “We love ugliness and miscarriages and also you get to die in childbirth”, the cult targets vulnerable young women and lures them in with divine feminine language (“You have the power to bear and raise great beasts”), while promising the young men of monstrous races frustrated living among humans that what they’re scorned for is what makes them powerful (and also they get to have sex with pretty girls).
>>97207451>Reasonable Cultists>worship Chaos Undivided as the heart of mankind's virtue>worship Khorne as a god of honor and justice>worship Slaanesh as a god of love and beauty>worship Nurgle as a god of life and empathy>worship Tzeentch as a god of hope and creativity>manage to summon daemons aligned with those aspects of the gods>Imperium comes to purge their homeworld, is confronted with Bloodthirsters laying their lives down to protect the helpless, Daemonettes inspiring men to fight for their families, Plaguebearers delivering emergency medical aid, and Horrors keeping everyone's morale up>Exterminatus is called>this is worse than a normal demon incursion by far

>>97232125>failed 3 campaigns>hasn't won oneAnon... I mean maybe it's just bad luck, or maybe you aren't metagaming Survival of the Fittest enough, but... you really shouldn't be losing that much.My group has done 4 campaigns with no losses. I've never actually seen a settlement go down, and it's usually not even close, by the end we're always steamrolling so hard the GSK goes down in 2-3 rounds. The worst campaign we did of the 4 was the one time we chose Protect the Young, SotF really is easy mode if you abuse the rerolls and plan for intimacy, but even that campaign was still pretty easy.Haven't been able to play since GC came out sadly so I can't comment on the new stuff, hopefully that's quite a bit harder, but all I can say is remember your SotF rerolls, and remember that in settlement phase any survivor can provide a reroll for any roll, skew the population female, use unnamed female survivors' rerolls first, and it's okay for unnamed female survivors whose reroll has been spent to die in childbirth. With that and intimacy bonuses like you get from Face Painting you can make intimacy net positive on rerolls and get tons of them to help save you from bullshit rolls in settlement phase.
