>>97210598Since they are retrains, I wonder if they are going to have a frame restricted version at lower rarity as well. Similar to how the Immortal cards from Duelist of the Roses were printed with zoomed in art that only showed part of the monster to entice buying the game. In this case, buying more packs to get the full versions.>>97211082You are able to see more of the art at a larger size. The style primarily is for collectors who like the art moreso than as a card that would be played in the game, with the unique art of it escaping the frame also showcasing the rarity easier.
>>97210598Blue Eyes Alternative or a new retrain?
>>97210590I admit I haven't kept up with any movies or whatever but is there a reason why all the latest Dark Magician wank doesn't actually use Yugi's Dark Magician? Why is it the green skin one all the time?
Kind of a weird question but how do you guys get brand new cards?The last time I got something brand new it was the Orcust stuff and I didn't bother with pre-releases, I just ordered them when they first became available and I had to wait about two weeks to get my whole order. Do people that want cards on the day of release just buy tons of sealed product and open packs? Do they hound their LGS and try to do trades or buy stuff from other people opening packs? It seems like all my options for getting something day 1 are terrible.

After the the Tau'va manifests in early M42 a narrow slice of the population of T'au plus their populations of non T’au who are faithful to the emerging Tau’va religion. find themselves able to control the elements that the four T’au Castes are named for. This control being identical to the Bending arts of Avatar. T'au castes are locked to only being able to manifest their associated element whilst the non-tau followers of the Tau‘va are able to manifest as any kind of bender though it is slanted toward people who most strongly resonate with a given Element's spiritual affiliation.The number of people in Avatar itself who actually 'have' Bending and what makes a person get it or not is a bit loosie goosey as is so just go along with the number I’m laying out being a clean 1% of the population. Training of the bending arts takes the same martial art & fitness regimes as in Avatar though information sharing and media does canonically make the rarer techniques more widely avalible by the time of Korra so assume bending specializations are as common as they are were in that time.Ethereal are benderless but there is a single reincarnating Tauvatar Ethereal who in on a hotline to Tau'va and able to consult their past lives when and if they’ve accumulated any. If Tauvatar perishes Tau'va will just cook up a new Tauvatar but always starting over from scratch on the reincarnation cycle. Bending is to be treated like a Psyker power in terms of there being forces which dampen or prevent it’s use but the act of doing a Bending art in of itself is to be treated as 'safe' insofar as it‘s having nothing in the way of perils to using it.
>>97204624https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Agt6O093uo Tau'va religion is by default an underminer to their authority. One avatar who is probs inclined to be loyal to the goddess' commandments anyway is 'not' a fair exchange for the buff to Tau religion that comes by litteral tau goddess blessings being a known factor. Ethereals are going to lose the schism war HARD.Bending hurts the caste interreliance as well. Air/Water/Earth are now that much better equipped to defend themselves in a pinch with bending then without. Firec can do a bit of kitbashed mechanics now that there are guys who''ll power a generator with lightning or smelt by hand and coming at it from the other non-religious schism arguments. Ethereals being useless/puppetmasters is why the farsight exists and that line or reasoning only gets stronger when already useless ethereals are the only guys without the bending.

>>97205527>firebending>the weakest>in a setting with plasma and lasergunsHell they can already turn any ammo cache into an IED just by doing some hand waves at it, but bending their lasers to hit literally whatever they want wherever it is sounds pretty strong too.
>T'au
>>97207533Useless? What about [Made up laser gobbldegook]? If that was a real thing (And it is not) it would be a super specialized skill with physical and also spiritual/mindset requirements to unlock it. Would a fire bending blast be faster, more accurate, longer ranged, and more impactful than the standard tau pulse rifle? No? Then value of firebenders in an tau army must come by other factors in utility on niche uses. Your example of torching munitions up is just such an example.

>>97211444they hit on 5+ at initiative 1 for a slow expensive unit. Death cloud does nill damage to space marines. The Deathshroud are better in literally every way, faster moving WS5 and with better flamethrowers and with Eternal Warrior 1 and Ld10 instead of Ld8 (the "grim wardens" are pussies that run away instantly when faced with phosphex or fear1 panic1-2 flamethrower type stuff)The grenade launchers unfortunately suck cock. Krak mode is entirely harmless to armor saves (despite krak being supposed to be anti-armor) and the toxin mode isn't a template just averages 0.4 wounds to a basic tactical marine or 0.2 to 2+ armor, so it's not good anti-tank, anti-elites or good anti-infantry. The inferior heavy alchem doesn't have panic1 or panic2 like it should, so the squad can't even infliclt status unlike actual good flamer terminators to try to not be shit at initiative 1.The army list you described is designed specifically to fashionably accomplish literally nothing. It can't shoot and it can't melee and it has zero mobility once they jump out on turn 1.
>>97211451Maybe those armoury thralls Custodes have? There's almost fucking nothing about them around
>>97211478They are a Heavy Assault option, anon. I'm not using multiple Deathshroud units as I'm not taking a Delegatus as the allied guy won't be in the front because the central LR is already gonna be occupied by the IW Siege Breaker guyI mean, it might be better to have it be the DG guy, but a Delegatus can only unlock two Land Raiders.Don't be silly comparing Grave Wardens to WS5 Justaerin or whatever, because they're just not on that league. They are big on the small guy league; Heavy Assault slot
Hey /tg/ I'm playtesting an initiative system that's been tried before in other systems and is detailed nicely on "Tabletop Curiosity Cabinet"The system uses Meyer (and Kieth Farrell's modern adaptation) of "Vor, Nach, Gleich, Indes" as steps in a fight.Basically, the player with the initiative chooses an action ("Vor"). The enemy chooses a reponse ("Nach"). The dice are rolled to determine an outcome ("Gleich") and the movement into the next state ("Indes").Practically it looks like: Player A chooses a bind. Player B chooses to parry. Both players resolve a dice roll. The resolution will determine who has initiative for the next system.Very fencing-like, and makes initiative more of a "push-pull" based on success rather than a "you-go, I-go" traditional style.I believe systems like TRoS and their derivatives (like Song of Swords) use a similar sort of initiative style.My questions for the thread:1. While this system works pretty well for individual combats, it struggles when there are multiple combatants. It also falls into the same trap of "you go, I go" which is; in a real fight, you're probably waiting for an opening (e.g. an enemy attacking an ally) to take advantage of in order to strike. I wonder if anyone has creative solutions to this problem?2. Are there initiative systems that you find work well? Anyone forego initiative entirely in favor of fully narrative initiative (e.g. Daggerheart)?

>>97197145I too, fence longsword, more from the Lichtenauer school though (meyer is fun as hell though i just love to stab)As a 1 v 1 duel you could get an interesting system working. The "you go, i go" style works fine if there's a way to steal an extra go in there or take the Vor. I had an idea for a card game where the 2 players are constantly discarding some cards at the end of their turn, keeping a few in hand they like and then drawing fresh ones at the start of the turn to say 7 or something like that.There's cards for advancing, for retreating for dodging, There's cards specifically for counters to certain thrusts or cuts. There's stance cards that'll give you a bonus if your opponent has an opening that's weakEventually someone plays a card with a VOR on it to start the rally,Like an Over cut from left shoulder, They other player then needs to play a card that will deflect that or dodge or counter it, whatever. They could just play a parry card, and follow it up with a Riposte, or if they didn't have a riposte they just have a parry.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

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/9fzM6128>Need a starter dungeon?

>>97200222>>97200581Ok, I've done some shitbrewing regarding an alternative Halfling class.Mind this is a only gathering mechanic ideas and hasn't seen a proper balancing pass in any way.Aim is a simulationist approach to a Halfling that is tonally more in line with desirable Halfling fluff (as interpreted by yours truly at least). And maybe protect some design space for Goblins as the typical small gutter-stabber on the side.I went with an archetype that is very based in the heroes' journey and has a fairly romantic fantasy flavoring. Inspired foundational by of course Tolkien Halflings, little hearth spirits, and young heroes in vintage fantasy movies. Very comfy power of the heart, perhaps it is the Christmas spirit? This Halfling is earnest and heroic, but not a cool quipping combat stabber.Might easily be reskinned to a small mascot critter type, some gnome flavors I'm intruding upon or an errant fantasy princess.Mechanically I'm aiming for a defensive Thief/Paladin as opposed to the normal Fighter/Ranger.He has a grab bag of trick ribbons to lose less, not win more.

Tolkien is to blame for the state of 5e and generic fantasy that you see in TTRPGs. We wouldn't have horrible big fat fantasy books, nor power fantasy / wish fulfilment, which you find in scaling levels through so-called "XP". Fantasy used to be an experimental, creative, and wild genre filled with mad imagination; now, it is all wooden and samey. >tl;drListen to this:https://voca.ro/1Rwc7lMX0hfT

There probably hasn't been a 100% completely one-of-a-kind unique fictional story created in the last 5000-so years of human history. Everything has, to a greater or lesser extent, used something else as inspiration from that point onward. Humans have certain ideas we naturally think are cool, which is part of why dragons were part of folklore on every continent. We ultimately draw from a narrow pool of ideas.

>>97209727>Would you guys allow a PC to use mending to repair a pelt that was damaged while it was being skinned?Yes, a pelt is an object and mending explicitly fixes rips and holes. However, If a cleric cast "Make Whole" I'd turn the pelt into an entire animal corpse, because a corpse is an object and a pelt is just one part.
>>97209791I concede, these two are about equal in sexiness. So much in fact, I keep mixing them up in my head.>>97209859I guess for me its a question, when does the pelt as an object that's to be mended back to its original state, become that object. Surely not when its still on the animal - at that point its an organ of the animal. If the damage was done as it was being skinned, wouldn't that be part of the state to which the mending has to restore it?
>>97210113>If the damage was done as it was being skinned, wouldn't that be part of the state to which the mending has to restore it?Why would it? Don't forget magic is meta-physical, not physical. It doesn't need to have to be coherent mathematically or logically, it just needs to make sense intuitively. It makes complete sense for a spell to heal a pelt to be a perfect pelt rather than a perfect corpse, simply because the person casting the spell internally see "a Pelt" as a different object from "a Corpse". Don't overthink it.

>>97206596>I'll keep finding women who love absolutely vile, filthy conquest fantasies (We're talking "Exterminate the men and breed the women") and I guess I see that with the raceplay against elves that is vogue but it's really fucking pale beer to what women like.Yeah I wouldn't really ask anon for a statistical sample of what women like.That being said, I find kinda funny that we take isekai as a "loving" fantasy when in Shield Hero above we have a fine example of "yeah, I'll love the slave I bought and groomed since she was a child!" like.. thrice? I mean, not gonna judge if that's your fantasy, but maybe don't get that as a "moral" story? Please?
>>97194125>nobodyDo more research. D&D homebrew has spawned thousands of TV shows, books, games and pieces of media over the years.
>>97208729You really think Traveller involves any mathematics beyond basic arithmetic?
Isekai is absolute garbage, but could be much better. I quite enjoyed narnia, it was humorous having van pelt summoned from jumanji to hunt the protagonists.Really, just have someone go to an INTERESTING world, or bring someone interesting to our world. Stop going to the most generic fantasy possible. I do not fantasize about going into a generic fantasy world. I fantasize about going somewhere ALIEN, and I put up with generic RPGs to hopefully leave the generic zone and find god's xenomorph themed sex lair.
>>97211438Not all isekai are built the same, they may not do everything or incorporate every story element i myself have found some lacking in areas but they do scratch the itch like for example Knights & Magic focus on technology, worldbuilding and focus on society, class and politics in Ascendance of A Bookworm. I don't think writing off all isekai is the right way to go about because there are good ones out there with interesting themes and distinguish themselves well.
