>Halflings to do the farming>Dwarves to do the smithing and mining>Gnomes to do the researching>Elves to do magic>Humans to do the fighting (and thus, the ruling)This seems the obvious perfect order to things. Humans don't want to be the peasant farmers, we want to be the knights and lords, but somebody has to farm, somebody has to smith, etc. Why not have the other races do the menial peasant stuff that they specialize in anyways?
>>97251874No, I want to mine, farm, and make machines.
>>97251916kek had the same thought
>>97251874rulers don't fight, they sit around and tell people to do stuff
>>97251874Only psychopaths want to fight and rule. And then the peasant revolts happen and the leaders undergo humiliation rituals that forever emasculate their legacy. Deserved end.
>>97251874If elves do magic, they're the ones ruling, you humies are just going into the mobic cube for your magical overlords.

Trying to explain making a character to a friend who has never played.The best way to think about is:- strength (and constitution) is for melee weapon classes like fighter and barbarian- charisma is for sorcerer, paladin, cleric, and bard- intelligence is for wizard- wisdom is for ranger and druid- dexterity is for rogueBut you can choose other classes in whichever sourcebooks! You can always multiclass later on and this is recommended if you want to minmax for certain battle roles.The manual roll method is when you roll 4d6 per attribute then remove the die with the lowest result, which means you can get anywhere from 3 to 18 in any attributes—but most dungeon masters allow for rerolls of extremely low results. You can also try the standard array but you won't get high results; it just creates an even character that will survive the first few sessions better than a glass cannon or low stat character.

On the spectrum of rubber forehead aliens to complete starfish aliens that are made out of silica and breathe methane, where are YOU specificially comfortable with. Does there come a point where an alien becomes too weird for you to "relate" to in order to include them in your games as playable races?Personally I am fond of aliens that look plausibly like they could have evolved in a different world and have no distinguishable lineage to earth life, even if they share some superficial features.
>What, all those specialized suckers with multiple functions to them? Think of the metabolism budget, get rid of them!

>>97250174Not a strict necessity.
>>97251653I'm sure people have repeated it for ages, just like many other memes (gum taking seven years to digest, etc.).>You can also see it from the 2013 Las Vegas Star Trek conventionWhich placed the bad ST3 higher than the good ST2009 and Galaxy Quest.
>>97250408Presumably the exact age would be cultural, like it is with humans (there really isn't any specific biological reason why it's not OK to have sex with a 17 years old but it is OK with an 18 years old, 18 just happens to be the number we've decided on as being old enough to have the necessary mental and physical development to definitely count as an adult). Probably whatever age they reach sexual maturity plus a year or two to make sure.

>>97249535>Do you guys actually play the game or just argue about lore you heard from a youtube video?I had to check which thread I was even in. Jesus Christ, this board is depressing.For what it is worth, I do intend to run an Alpha Centauri RPG someday, I frequently use elements from Alpha Centauri in the RPGs that I do run, and I make a point of playing the vidya at least twice a year.For example, in Mage: the Ascension, I had Morgan and Yang show up as competing Technocratic directors (Syndicate and NWO, of course). Morgan was more willing to negotiate with the PCs, because he was confident his philosophy would outcompete theirs in the marketplace of ideas, given enough time.

>>97250472I mostly read old books, currently going through the world history series written by Carl Grimberg. I think the last time I read a book written by a woman was when I read Savitri Devi. Man she was crazy.

Holiday EditionDiscuss and post elves. Elf lore, gameplay, and art are all appreciated.QOTT: What are some of the best gifts to give elf-lovers? What gifts would you give to lovers of other races/species/ancestries/whatever?
>>97251975What will be her role?
>>97251983There's a spot for an elf like this on the northern shores of the elf lands where human pirates come to trade. I've been wondering how to depict an elf that knows how to deal with rougher types without spoiling a good mood.
>probably one of the horniest threads>over the holidaysYou poor sods.
>>97252775it's been pretty civil. I know I've been having some real arguments with noldorfag over christmas some years when I've been bored
>>97250542>it's a bunch of thousand-plus year old elves banging human women in their 50s and 60s.This was one of the more interesting and amusing things in Interspecies Reviewers. Elves actually enjoyed being with humans, but only if they were older, like 50 or 80 years old. Older the better, usually. This was due to elves (and other magically inclined races) being able to immediately tell a person's mana, which apparently has a sort of taste to it.This is inverted for humans, who are essentially "mana-blind". Cue many situations where the human reviewer goes after very old elves and has a good time, but everyone else is absolutely fucking disgusted by it because an old elf's mana is very gross.
Would you consider this IP slop or worth playing?At least the system isn't d20 or PbtA...
>>97252712>Referring to Monty Python as a singular person...
>>97252685IP slop. And I'm saying that as someone who loved the tv show and movies. Spamalot and Not the Messiah were also IP slop, but I don't begrudge Eric Idle the opportunity to rake cash from braindead nostalgiafags.
>>97252685All of these forced comedy games are crap. You can't make people funny.
>>97252735>refering to Monty Python as a concept
>>97252685Monty python is at its best when it's intelligent. If these people where intelligent they wouldnt need to use the IP to sell their game. It follows logically that the game must be shit
with all the AI there is on the internet, google only give me is the same oni mask done a million timesthe internet is dead (or at least google image search)
>>97216878As far as a I know only 4 color of Oni was described in historical source. I checked this site and it either refer to itself or send you to Chinese Wikipedia site that is hardly a good source. If you want to learn something about Oni I recommend reading books about Yokai, "The book of Yokai. Mysterious Creatures of Japanese Folklore" by Michael Dylan Foster is a good example mostly because it have a big list of reference how and from where data was collected.
You should ALWAYS cheese every encounter. If you EVER end up in a situation that even remotely resembles a fair fight, just run away and wait until you can rig the situation to your favor. Use your fucking brain. Even if it is highly improbable for you to lose a given fight, statistically speaking, you'll still eventually croak if you keep taking those bets. Don't leave it up to chance. It's easier than you might think, you just need to use your noggin. It's not a video game. You can do whatever the fuck you want.Just the other night my party ran into a melee monster in a narrow ass room that they for some reason decided to ram their dicks into until someone died. When I suggested that we retreat for a bit and lure it into the room with the big ass statues so we can all just climb them and shoot it to death, they looked at me like I just escaped from the looney bin. They all died of course.
>>97252702I'm sorry you can't understand basic greentext. I'll be more explicit:Character death is not a big deal. Making the game boring because you're avoiding any sort of risk is. I play games for fun, and your strategy is terrible for that.
>>97252724>assigned generalSome literal retard just admitted they want posters herded into some autist's project. The quality of the 'discussion' is improving all right....
>>97252729NTA but why would my character take on an obviously fucked encounter?I dont do what OP does but I would genuinely like to. If i had a table full of players like he and I, I would.It just doesn’t make any sense to me.
>>97252770There's an enormous gap between, "don't fight battles you can't possibly win" and "never fight a battle unless you can't possibly lose".Regardless, there are plenty of reasons why a person might stay in a fight they can't win, from stupidity to ideals. Besides which it doesn't matter whether my character would want to or not because they aren't actually a real person and have no say. If I think it'd be more fun for them to go out in a blaze of glory then they shall.
This is assuming it's possible to disengage or escape without increasing the risk or putting yourself in a worse situation, i.e. split up and with half the party unable to disengage from what is now 2:1 odds of defeat. If your DM just roleplays enemies like dragonquest slimes that won't even try to strategise against you and just let you escape then it's only natural to abuse that, I suppose.
Why were so many of the "OG" game designers insufferable faggots? It seems like the vast majority of game designers from the 70s and 80s were self-obsessed dickheads who openly hated and looked down on their customer base. There were obviously exceptions, and some like Gygax would go on to regret and apologize for it, but still, what made so many "professionals" back then such fags?Pic related: WFRP author James Wallis's response to a letter criticizing how railroaded The Enemy Within campaign was.
>>97252556Which is a massive step back on their control when they could also do all that, but now you can reply to them on social media with an AI picture of them kissing a dude and they can't stop you.These kinds of dudes were always awful, absolutely nothing about them has gotten any worse. Look at >>97251684 , does this look like the kind of guy who was full of restraint and patient measures but now would be worse?
>>97252538We're not necessarily talking about a benevolent bestowal or even a willing donation. Players will be forced to grant powers upon a DM often even reluctantly or even unwillingly.You're not particularly clever for assuming and applying the wrong definition of a word.
>>97250997>It seems like the vast majority of game designers from the 70s and 80s were self-obsessed dickheads who openly hated and looked down on their customer base.That's a lot of words just to write "boomers"
>>97252222Describe your character without mentioning their class, their stats, or their name. In fact, answer the following questions about the last character you played:1) What does the character have in their pockets/purse?2) What does your character do on a Sunday?3) What was the best birthday gift the character received?4) What does the character think about the policies of the mayor/leader of the community?5) What is the character's handwriting like?6) What is the character's favorite color?7) What tics does the character have when they need to sit still for a while?

Stories, art, don’t care. Post it or don’tWhite human male and orc female pairings are the key to fixing the realm
>>97252827>>97252834Please stop posting pictures of shirtless men and talking about cocks.
>>97252834NTA, but I don't think they insinuated the respective man was "gay" so much as the man had feminine traits, and that on some genetic level, they were seeking out someone with more dominant traits to produce more capable offspring. Sounds like a neat theory, but it falls apart under scrutiny. Trying to isolate preferred traits in a complementary partner for one offspring or the other isn't a guarantee for success. You're just as likely to generate a masculine female or an effeminate male, depending on how the genes are distributed, which is, of course, random between the two parents. Rather, I would argue humans seek partners that are viable for breeding. Muscular girls fall into that basket (the same way as thin and mildly plump girls to). Some outliers are attracted to midgets and BBWs, but those extreme cases are statistical noise, relatively speaking.
what about female orcs?

>>97252862I must say bug facts anon, Something about your parasite like companions really resounds with me, I can't tell if you infected me or it messed with a strain of my own. But what I'm trying to say my dear anon, is that I really appreciate your jumps and companions and now I'm looking up different types of slimes and how much I want to take care of them
>>97252877There's something mighty peculiar about a Nazi anon celebrating getting infested with parasite friends, but I can't pin down what.Something something miscegenation something colonisation.
>>97252877Heads up for Ambition of the Slimes, they look a lot uglier up close. Despite their sprites looking cute, during combat exchanges their more detailed art shows they can look pretty disgusting. That said, you could humorously use Asset Recycling to make them look more like conventional JRPG Slimes.
>>97252883I'm not the one being infested, and I don't allow them to just infest anyone else unless I give permission. I treat them and prefer them to act like symbiotes, since just taking over and attacking innocent people makes me mad. It has to hit the right balance or I'll want them dead or I'll adopt them >>97252884Looks don't bother me much, but it will help them get along with others. Thanks again my dear bug facts anon.
Yesterday was the day of Kujichagulia, and we know that any anon has the power to become a jumpmaker. Before that was the day of Umoja, for we must remain strong against the reddit hordes. Today is the day of Ujima: We all have a responsibility to help make this community great, whether by contributing jumps/writefagging or doing what we can to refine the product of jumpmakers' labor.

>>97248967What kind of masochist doesn't take the pawn here? I'm sure I would.
