I like the aesthetic of this. Very inspiring.
I was a little disappointed that it was mostly just slightly pixelated dark fantasy art. It doesn't really feel like an actual guidebook to a fake game because it never actually shows it's general gameplay or shows faux-screenshots or any sort of UI. It just feels like a second-person slideshow of events and sights with the word "might" or "could" thrown in here and there.
>>97223942>>97214591true I must confess
>>97223942>second person slideshow There's an entire chunk of people who just watched their friends play videogames. It struck me as someone who did that. They liked the ideas and pictures but didn't really care about or understand the game itself, so the parts they're making have a nostalgic feel without much connection to use. Its 3 or more steps removed from ttpg play and weirdly hollow as a result, but not in a detectable way to the maker or target audience.

Anons help me. I want to start watching Vanguard. Where do I start? I see there's a reboot of the original but with way fewer episodes.
>>97223846the "Reboot" is of V-series Vanguard. It's more based on the Manga adaption of the series.Classic is prolly where to start, with the first four or five eps being a good tutorial and all. Just mind the fact some of the facts are a BIT dated, such as the show-exclusive "Oracle Guardian, Hermes" (Which only shows up in a single episode and was never made to print)Also some say that Classic tends to have the better story compared to it's counterpart in V-series (Which drastically shortens the story).Also if you want to try your hands out with "Vintage" Vanguard, there is VGDD2, but mind the fact it's kindof expensive...Partially related, I kinda wish we had more anime-style Alternate Art cards, like that version of Oracle Guardian, Gemini in that pic.Unfortunately, it doesn't exactly expand on various clans in terms of gameplay. Hells, the only major time Bermuda Triangle and Neo Nectar show up is in a side tournament.Now for Standard Vanguard (D-series)... OverDress is the start point. (There is at least a free demo of VGDD1 in case you want to try a smidge of standard)
>>97223846You go to the vanguard youtube and watch any series you like
>>97223960Season 1 of classic is on another channel... ...except for ep 50 fer some reason.

>>97223685Kek, truePeople who like Andor should just go watch any other generic cyberpunk shit. It isn't Star Wars. It lacks any of the charm and fantasy of Star Wars. And the fact that anyone pointing this out gets shitty Disneycuck spam about "muh realism, you need lightsabers" is so pathetic. As if there aren't other SW products that don't have Jedi and Sith and yet still feel like the actual franchise and not a hamfisted political thingI mean just look at this. It made Coruscant look like an even commier version of NYC. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
>>97223685So you're not even a Star Wars fan and showed up to bitch about things. Got it!

Making a character for the first time in foreverUsed to be foreverDM years agoNow making a character for my buddies campaign, hes first time DMWhat resources are like… acceptable?Twilight cleric seems extremely OP but its in TCE which I think is core no?Idk ive been out of the game too longAlso what are some good wizard subclasses?
>>97223647I'd ask your DM two things>1. What books is he okay with? Most DMs in my experience are fine with anything official but I've had some tell me they only allow the books they own>2. Is it 5e or 5.5e, 5.5e doesn't have all the same subclasses although given how lazy and incompetent WoTC are they'll probably just re-release all the old ones with minor updates and tweaksAlso don't play twilight cleric unless you want to really fuck with the balance

Why did 5.5e drop the ball so hard? Everyone I know who likes 5e is staying with 5.0e. And more than a few of them have moved to 3.5, OSR, or other games entirely.Is WOTC just stupid?
>>97221234>doesn't mention how 4e created an entir online ecosystem still not matched today and a hugely profitable subscription model with constent content dropping literally every monthBrother 4e made more money than anything before it and every other rpg on the market during almost the entirety of its run. The idea that it was unsuccessful and had to go is fucking fanfiction. They had to stop servicing it because it was taking away from 5e. Why do people do this? There's plenty to criticize about 4e, why lie about it's actual success?
>>972195663.5 was fantastic, faggot. My table will never touch 4th or 5th no matter how much you shill it.
>>972239093.x is objectively the worst edition in how its rules don't actually work. I played it and then PF1 for years, but it's a bad game that does everything it can to make the experience worse.

>>97223909>fantastic >the edition with the most failed attempts to address its fundamental issuesYou don't know how to play D&D. You sit at the table and vibe with your friends, but you may as well be roleplaying candyland.
I'm brainstorming some stuff for DCC, thought /tg/ might have some good ideas.Premise: Dungeon Crawl Classics night at the local pub, we do one-shots every week (characters persist, but it's different DMs doing different stuff across a bunch of settings and plot threads). Games have to be tight, well-paced, and light on the deep RP and bartering with shopkeepers; the best adventures start with "You are at the entrance to the dungeon."The arc I'm working on is the city of Noctburg; its central-europe-themed gothic/industrial horror. It mostly exports alchemical goods; the Chymic League has enough political power to ignore what scant regulations exist regarding pollution, and working conditions in their refineries are horrible enough that organized labor agitators are popping up.The theme of Noctburg is predation and exploitation; humans are very much part of the food chain. Half the muggers are human, the other half are some manner of urbanized monster; ettercaps with garottes, cockroaches that walk upright and wear trenchcoats, selkies/kelpies/rusalkas/ect in the river. Heavy emphasis on anglerfish tactics; everything that wants to eat you has a pretty face or sounds like a child in peril.Even the spooky stuff just wants to eat you/live in you. There's ghosts, but also all manner of non-dead-human psychic parasites and manifestations of ambient misery; Silent Hill stuff happens at lot here.The alchemical/industrial stuff means that players have access to lots of consumable items; flares, grenades, acid, healing serums that cause addiction, chemical sprayers. I've been considering including blade oils as well. Also, constructs; less steam and clockwork, more wet-cell batteries.So, Dunwall+Yharnam.
Here's a sample adventure where there's an outbreak of Russet Mold at a refinery; PCs sneak in to steal formulas and product, see what happened to the first official cleanup team, then run into the second cleanup team on the way out; very Half-Life, with environmental storytelling, repeated use of encounter areas, and logistical hazards.
>>97220104
What I'm stumped on right now is Vampires. No one else has done anything vampire-y yet that I've seen, so it'd be novel content for the group. But I want to up the urban predator angle and do Blade vampires; I want that scene from Blade 1 where the PCs are at the in-universe-equivalent of an underground rave, then the blood sprinklers turn on. The problem is how to translate "techno rave" into gothic gaslamp fantasy, and I'm still lacking a proper premise/narrative.Also, haven't put much thought into representing them mechanically; lean into the more-grounded Blade vampires, or the spookier Nosferatu shapeshifting-shadow-projecting-animal-controlling sort.I just want people to be humming techno beats to themselves while they kill vampires in a basement.
>>97220164>technobeats from the 2000s >gothic gaslamp fantasy Might be hard to achieve. Could do very elaborate punch fountains with clockwork mechanisms and statues that have blood coming out of them at various points and the statues are iron maidens with bloodbag sacrifices in them. The tricky part I think, is that gothic vampire stuff doesn't have high pace as any part of it really. The shift from very prim and proper high society party people to total savagery when exposed to bloodlust might work. To keep the DCC oneshot hijinks you could start everyone at a masquerade ball, explore a bit, statues activate and its a reverse dungeon where the players have to get the fuck out as the revellers are in various states of failing their humanity rolls.
>>97220626I was going less for high-society and more grunge/underground; the vampires LARP as punks. But yes, I am hitting up against clashing genre/period aesthetics.

If BT23 Rosemon is deleted with a When Attacking effect, plays itself back with Fortitude and then suspends itself, can it redirect the attack to itself or did it miss the "When one of your opponent's Digimon attacks" timing
>>97222036Any effect that refers to attacking is specifically talking about attack declaration, if a card doesn't see the attack declaration it can't use "when x attacks" effects. Rosemon wouldn't be able to redirect the attack since the newly played one wouldn't have seen attack declaration.

Why does lichdom exist when you can just clone yourself in 5e?
>>97223626Because your clone living on isn't the same as your consciousness continuing.
>>97223626In addition to the continuity question >>97223655 poses which is quite difficult and generally costly to answer (which varies by edition, which is in-universe split between obtuse changes in how magic functions and versions of the spell), lichdom makes you a lot harder to put down in the first place, brings you back faster, for as many times as you can get away with for a single up-front cost, and actually "solves" aging fully.
>>97223626IDK about 5e, but in many of the earlier editions your soul adheres to your racial lifespan. Spells can stretch your lifespan a limited amount, slowing ageing or giving you the statistically unlikely but theoretically possible best lifespan while keeping you younger than you look - like a wizard looking ~50 from the ages of 50 to 140, then dying.But there was usually a limit in place that prevents you from attaining immortality while in possession of a mortal soul, which is why lichdom was appealing to some. You had to tap into some kind of necromantic bullshit to acquire eternal existence on the material plane, otherwise your soul would "wear out" and rejoin the cycle or whatnot.Clone spells combined with spells that diverted your soul into them if you died unexpectedly were great for staying YOUNG and for avoiding surprise deaths, but they couldn't make you immortal, just long-lived, iirc.
