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.

>>97229250>1337You know, that was still funny back when I started reading this. How the time flies.
>>97230476Is it any good? I liked his previous OOTS stories
>>97233474>He's back, but he's not JUST Elan's brother anymore.ftfyNale is making it extremely clear, and the context is supporting, that this is not the same as the past encounters. He is a character who has personal motivations unrelated to his brother and his father this time, and his brother just happens to be involved.
>>97235651maybe the next few strips will prove me wrong, but so far it feels less like Nale really changed and more like he's convincing himself he changedinstead of constantly talking about how he's defined by his brother and father, now he's constantly talking about how he's NOT defined by his brother and fatherhe's still not free of their influence
>>97232693Well, he IS in Hell... or HIFL.
Everyone I know who watches Fatt Coville videos is a fucking terrible GM. I've never fully watched one and I am widely considered the best GM out of all 3 groups I'm part of. I am regularly requested to run campaigns. People borderline fall asleep in the games others run. There's also no tension because they know that these Coville acolytes will fudge rolls until all PCs survive the battle. If you're a good GM, it's an inmate talent you can hone over time. You're born that way. If you aren't, then no amount of shitty advice is going to make up for your lack of talent. It just is what it is. This idea that everyone should "try" DMing is retarded. The idea that anyone can be good at it? lolno. Its like some fat divorced on who suddenly decides he's gonna become a famous author. Fat chance. Most people fucking suck at GMing. Hell, most of them suck at playing, but at least in that case the game depends less on them.
>>97234967They probably been around as long as there been humans.
>>97235005Retards like you saying that is meaningless as you can't enforce it.
>>972351851) Becouse there are mindless enemies and enemies that sucessed in all their morale checks, so refuses to run away or surrender.2) Becouse it's wildernes encounter table for whole region, ancient red dragon lair have very little but not zero chance to roll and players in that part of region where can't be red dragon lair, for example they asked trusworthy npc about point of interests around settlemed, so adding red dragon lair in next hex to settlemet is ridicoulous.

>>97234789Don't worry, there will be more [game] trait rainbow slop and Appmon in the future.
>>97234571Unlikely any other decks will be able to use this but Fluffymon and Pinamon are the two eggs with Bird traits that can hatch and then Digivolve (into another bird/avian)Breeding area stuff is an underrated part of Green's toolbox and it's a lot of fun in Chronicle. Hopefully they keep it restricted while giving it to some of the other Green archetypes it would make sense in (Cherubimon!)
>>97234825yeah having to run the avian/bird eggs instead of just using st17 gummymon (or even ex2 gummymon) is just a huge downgrade in power and the deck really benefits from a draw egg.its so much harder to get value out of any of the fluffys of pinas

How has a wife/girlfriend joining the group affected your games?
>>97234561This.Most women, when they aren't drunk on radfem koolaid, really like being cute, doing cute things, and having cute stuff.Ask a random woman you are friendly with how many plushies she owns. 7/10 will have at least one.
Women just longhouse the group into avoiding adventure and doing retarded "comfy" rp
>>97234561There's a difference between liking pink things and doing what the OP pic is doing.
>>97223311There characters kept having sex and the wives didn't want to play the game much beyond that
>>97235337Well, there's nothing women hate so much as their husbands being happy, so it tracks they aren't going to want to be in that environment.

>>97235633Battletech fans were extremely online from the early days
I was looking into it, and is the cheapest way to become an interstellar mercenary with some tactical viability to use a modified K-1 with a single platoon of BA infantry? 12 BA troops can do some pretty lightweight anti-pirate jobs and the K-1 would be able to carry enough cargo to keep the troops and crew supplied for extended engagements.
>>97235809Or skip the dropship and just transport your suits as cargo on normal droppers.

Have you tried Space Gits? It's an unusual skirmish game by Mike Hutchinson (made Gaslands). It seems to be the ultimate casual skirmish that you play while chugging beer.A lot of mechanics are dexterity based, for example instead of losing health or wounds, your fighters add D6's to their dice tower, which has to be moved alongside them (and when it drops over, they drop down). Shooting is also quirky - you roll dice equal to the number of shots and then trace lines between a shooter and each die to see if you hit the target. Landed shots use die's result, so a single roll is made to-hit and to-wound, which I think is neat.I'm going to try it this thursday. My only two complaints so far is that close combat seems bland (its basically rock-paper-scissors) and it's really easy to deny it by spamming shove. My other complaint is that the rulebook's art is atrocious vomit.Everything else checks out though, it even seem to have a basic campaign system.
>>97222350>>I game to play game with socialization being the background event.Serious question: Are you a fucking loser?If socialization is a background event then go play video games in your room ALONE.
>>97227551NTA but I get what he says. Some games you want to play to fuck around and socialize. In some you want to concentrate on trying to outplay your opponent, if the game has any tactical depth ofc; something like classical battletech.
bump
>>97227500Gaslands was really great. This seems less so but probably fun for a hot minute. >>97227551Anon, some people rank playing the game more than talking with the other people playing the game. Doesn't mean they don't need or like both, just that they like one part more. Calm the fuck down.
>>97227551I like games that have some depth, thinking, or a need to focus on what you or your opponent is doing. While that is being done, the focus is the game. In between sessions? Absolutely going to be shooting the shit, hanging out, maybe drink a beer, grab some grub, you name it. When the game is out, the game is the focus.Casual games that are the background event for socialization usually aren't good games mechanically and actually distract from the socialization they are supposed to promote. As a personal aside, the kind of player that usually really enjoys those kinds of games has a high likelihood of being "It's just a game, bro." kind of person that is troublesome as hell if you are a person that plays games with any kind of seriousness.
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.

>>97234877>Nogames having a panic attack over becoming a yes games My word, imagine if you were running an open table at a game store instead of for your close intimate family. Regardless, that shitty game is off topic and thus irrelevant for the thread. So my advice is to go get some fucking Xanax and stop biting your nails and just play the fucking game, 12-year-olds can do it in the '80s, so can you
>>97234928I have lots of hexcrawl tips, but unfortunately I personally have a very strong dislike for the boring fantasy RPG, to the point of actually hating it. So instead I'm going to call you an idiot until you to play BX instead of a broken obsolete Frankenstein system
>>97234948Crazy how something so innocuous, has set you off on such a crusade for so long. It's just really bizarre how you take what is essentially a brief story of game mechanics supporting the players desires to have a beach episode, and turn into such a vile screaming wretch over it. If nobody cares, then you should feel free to get over it and stop ruining our thread.
>>97234307For what it's worth, I don't think there's any evidence that nusrg is fishfag. We had the apparent OP of that thread in here a few times when it started and he seemed perfectly normal and chill and wanted to emphasize that he wasn't interested in drama with this thread. That's why their threads have a "(frens with osrbros)" tag in the OP, and why fishfag continually goes in there to complain how the entire general is a secrete false flag by /osrg to drive out discussion that "rightfully belongs in /osrg".We asked them to take it to another thread for years because it was a fundamentally different style of game at many levels, and someone finally did, and that's really all there is to it as far as I can tell.

>>97234732We have Mercury Lamp's dolls on the case. The problem with such high caliber rounds is that there isn't much of a body left, I've seen trains being more gentle.Here's what I'm allowed to share for the time being: it was a group of five males. One had a large Schwarze Sonne tattooed on his pectoralis major. Another had glass fragments of what were once 2 or 3 vials in his pocket, one crudely labeled "FENT", again we can't test this as they were broken and contaminated by one another and blood. What's left of them reeks of alcohol.Did this Palatine ghoul, embrace, care for, recruit from, organize, or had any connection whatsoever with neo-nazis and/or people involved in the fentanyl trade?Uncle The Devil Wears Me is walking back and forth the hallway, cane in both hands, ranting about some "zevel levan."Then again we deal with so many stupid people as of late, I can't even exclude the asshole thought the black sun was just a cool symbol, like your average American with a T-shirt with a Buddha, Om or Che Guevara on it.Can't they be just clueless biomass who had a case of fuck around and find out, just because this one night the house was quieter than usual?>>97234780YESSSSS>>97234802Yuck.
>>97234732You'll receive the surveillance footage as soon as this video editor stops ruining my unlife. For what it's worth there were no obvious external signs of Vicissitude. Now the dolls are looking on the inside, we'll send you pictures if they find anything.>>97234965I don't care if they're hobos, nazis, Sabbat, or God holding Satan's hand, if anybody comes looking for a war, I got plenty of war in me.
>>97234965>Yuck.I won't argue, but I will point out that sometimes one must get knee-deep in garbage or sewage to get a job done.
>>97234965>Did this Palatine ghoul, embrace, care for, recruit from, organize, or had any connection whatsoever with neo-nazis and/or people involved in the fentanyl trade?She didn't embrace anybody from those, and ghouled few from those. Her underlings did everything listed. Overall, her organization didn't filter Kine material very rigorously; attached is a file from my records showing what sort of Kindred and ghouls we had to cut through to harm her operations. They acquired neo-nazis and bikers as brute force, drug dealers as a source of cash and drugged-out bodies, local militias as firepower and so on. We've made an effort to cull whoever didn't flee Bridgeport, but nature abhors a vacuum, so those five could easily be survivors out of their mind due to vitae withdrawal, or some sort of asset of hers or of one of her underlings doing somebody's bidding by this suicidal attack, or just out-of-towners who moved in on seemingly free turf, or something else. I will, regardless, inform my coterie to make sure they're available if this is the first attack of many.>>97235080Thank you, the footage will come in handy.> For what it's worth there were no obvious external signs of Vicissitude. Unfortunately, that's not much of a tell; the Palatine was remarkably, if sporadically, careful about not leaving signs of her work and at least somewhat tried to avoid giving herself away, until she decided to bring out the fucking death unicorn and her other toys. Still good to know.>Now the dolls are looking on the inside, we'll send you pictures if they find anything.Appreciated, thank you. I'll be forwarding everything to the Brujah I've had with me, provisionally still named Tats here, she'll be the one to contact if it'll prove necessary while I am busy with the flight. She's a professional at turning people to pulp and has a good, if angry and spiked, head on her shoulders, good pick to turn to.
>>97234780Thy will be done. I'll bring along two ghouls to manage the plane and otherwise handle affairs if we end up unable to arrive before sunrise, and a member of my coterie as backing just in case. Beyond that, the plane can accomodate an extra eight passengers counting you two, has a spacious recreational area, private sleeping accomodations, ample space for Kindred to retreat to if sun's a problem, multi-layered window coverings to minimize sunlight risk, and plenty cargo space. So, nearly whatever or whoever you'd potentially like to bring to Europe, or from Europe, can be brought. Time-wise, we'll be leaving as early as possible from New York, and no later than at 3:30AM from Rome, to account for the sun's movement and the flight length; the ghouls could fly us during the day, even, if you're fine with that and would prefer to get the most out of your night in Rome, but otherwise that's the most reasonable timetable. The expected flight time is from around five to seven hours, depending on how weather will be and how obnoxious we'll be able to get with some of the plane's particular aspects - it's a special thing. You'll see what I mean in person.

>>97235804Like you get bonus effects on your cards if you're playing in or near a forest or if you're left handed or some other weird shit. And you have meta cards that would change your surroundings into a forest Incase you live in the middle of a desert and all your bigfoot card benefits from you playing while you're in the woods
>>97235835That sounds funny casually but would probably result in people bringing backpacks of shit for their decks to work in tournaments.
>>97235855Yeah some weevil underwood type a shit I just play it with my boy
>>97235756less good image
>>97235898Wrong.
I feel like this edition has alot of objectively bad things about it and is absolutely where the alot of worst qualities of current editions showed up. But I feel like I prefer playing this edition compared to a lot of previous editions and 10th edition. Its a weird transitional period where there's still a lot of the old units that haven't been legended yet while still having the fucking Primaris lot. Its strange but I don't feel like I'm missing out on much staying on this edition and playing with friends casually instead of going back to playing the current edition.
>>97226259>redone PrimarisI've been working on one of my own. Can you fill me in on what's in this one?
>>97234264Hell, at the very beginning of 3rd you could play the entire game with only the core rulebook which is pretty impressive.
I started to dislike 40k when the stratagems and weird objective play came to the game
>>97231537Literally every edition before 8th had less bullshit to memorize
>>97234943Even the absolute mess that was 7th, it was pretty modular and you could ignore most of it.And still you didn't get surprised outside of what a unit already had in their unit description.

>>97235839Wealth by Level.See the "Total Equipment Value" column in>https://www.d20srd.org/srd/xp.htm
>>97235860Fuck. Pressed post too quickly.Forgot to add that the table is also available in the DMG, Pg. 135.
>>97235765Yes, the Martial can do that, at the levels we are talking about, assuming:>Nobody has persistent delay death on themselves.>Nobody has contigency on themselves.>Nobody has bothered to take measures against ambushes.Nah, at this point it's just getting too far-fetched, I suppose a Level 20 Martial can be a CR 20 challenge if played correctly.>>97235839Wealth by Level, the gear characters are supposed to have (valued in gp) at each given level.
>>97235808CR in 3.x starts real shaky at low levels, and gets worse at high levels.As for 'boss' type foes, I tend to use regular dudes with a field advantage of some sort, which the CR system really struggles to account for.An ambush situation increases CR by +1 or +2, iirc, by RAW. What about foes that are already buffed when you meet them? Bad weather?>my players once got in to a fight during a typhoon, shit was cashTo wit, CR is a kinda sorta base you can use, but you really need to feel out what is appropriate, because some foes can btfo the party if they do not have the right setup. I threw a deathshrieker at a group once, and they had to run for their lives because no one had the gear, abilities or spells to counter a powerful incorporeal undead, including the cleric (spent 4 turn attempts for nothing).
>>97235879I think it doesn't work at all, PC/CR, unless you have class levels on a monster chassis.See vampire with Master Vampire levels.In 3.x, the capacity of pc classes swings too wildly to have a set challenge, outside maybe Druid. Even other casters could be loaded with poor spell choices. You think that level 20 cleric loaded up with divination spells is going to take on the party?
