Red, we should balance it out by giving every pure red deck: warp evo mechanics, rush, raid and progress.

What did your jumper do in Modern Geopolitics?

>>97264321
His actual full power level is 1500 so he'd get up to 6000. This would still probably be Nappa's level because Vegeta implied a guy with an over 8000 power level was not an unwinnable fight for him

>>97256310
I mean Abridged Alucard isn't that powerful. He's, like, city tier at the absolute most.

Has your jumper stopped 9/11?

>>97264536
Jumper prevented 9/11 with his luck manipulation powers by making the terrorists accidentally take a flight to brazil instead. Thus they couldn't do 9/11 because big jesus would have catched the plane and destroyed them. And also because the world trade center is not in brazil

>When you take the Attack action and attack with only a glaive, halberd, quarterstaff, or spear, you can use a bonus action to make a melee attack with the opposite end of the weapon. This attack uses the same ability modifier as the primary attack. The weapon's damage die for this attack is a d4, and it deals bludgeoning damage.

How is that grim?

>>97264200
The first post they quoted is self-evidently grim and there were multiple replies explaining why. Can/do you read?

The second and third are a little harsher but I understand. It is pretty grim for someone to want to get into a miniature game but want (or have) to be like, "I can't buy any miniatures though." Use numbered tokens at that point instead of standees. But this is grim because of a society that leaves people too poor to buy miniatures, above all else.

>disconnect between player expectations of balance (that every option should be relevant and fairly well-balanced against each other)
curse those insane, unreasonable player expectations!
it has fuck all to do with design intent, cmon. GW not playtesting sufficiently isn't a new phenomenon. in 40 years they've released a grand total of zero games where the internal balance wasn't blown to shit. (which isn't to say they have made no great games, but you usually need 10+ years of post-oop community patches before you have anything that could be called "balance" with a straight face) they don't care now and they didn't much then either.

It's more that military hardware in WoD is no joke. Either the were-thing will bounce uselessly off of the tank, or the were-thing will be so absurdly strong that it will take a plot device to kill it and prevent it from mincing the players and everything else before they can even get near the tank.

Though you can always come up with your own stats for the tank, so it's got less soak and less armaments.

i think it's also implied that owl messed with his rank as well because Wepauwet was THE leader of the silent striders in the war against set, but despite being millenia old (books are actually Inconsistent about if he is 2 or 7k years old) he is only rank 4 (rank 5 in revised)

Different anon here:
It sounds to me like the early game might start off a little slow, or poor luck in your opening hand could cause the equivalent of being mana screwed in Magic. To combat this, you could have a generous mulligan rule, or as an option, you could let players 'go gravedigging' on their turn, sacrificing all other actions to, for example, turn the top 5 cards of their deckinto their graveyard. It kind of reminds me of the 'Exert' rule from the old Highlander TCG. Alternately, you could always just start the game with X amount of cards in your graveyard. I dunno, just a few options to consider.

>Looking for setting influence.

Nausicaa Valley of The Wind, specifically the Manga.
And for several good reasons:
-One is that they actually had several apocalypses because the first one didn't stick. The first "day of fire" wasn't enough for society to completely collapse, so they ended up having 2 more to really cement it in.
-The "hand-me-down" junk yard world has created a believable situation where mixed unit armies of traditional warriors, riflemen, cavalry, and modern artillery and firearms, is a practical response to conditions. High quality ceramics are basically indestructible, but they can't be fabricated, only harvested and recycled, so they make them into high-status armors and weapons. Literally every plane that gets blown up is a permanent loss for a country and a lot of what regular people have to depend upon is based off of low-tech organic resources and cottage companies.
-There is magic, technically, in the form of psionics. The series never goes into length about how it works, but it seems to be based off of pro-longed exposure: you hang out with someone who has it, you get attacked, you mutate, etc. It feels more like a muscle or a sense people don't know they have because using it is so uncomfortable.
-The only "old high end technology" that's still replicable is the bio-tech stuff (which is a little true to life. Biotech is extremely cheap once standardized). Either because they've become naturalized, or alchemists & chemists of the time earnestly just know how to cultivate those components. There's a Homunculi-type warrior called a Heedra and they literally just grow them from clippings, feed them slop, and control them with a special dog whistle. The Dorok Imperial Family tree is more like a corn stalk: the father made several clones, transplanted his brain in several over 120 years, and raised the extras as sons.

Palladium's Rifts setting is pretty interesting. Basically humanity entered a technology golden age via a scientific arms race, then a minor nuclear exchange caused magic to re-enter the world along with atlantis which was hogging it all. The sudden magical surge caused portals to open at ley line nexus points that let all sorts of aliens, mystical creatures, and alternate universe humans pour into our world.

>>97260012
As stated, it's not really open enough for general use. You could dedicate a part of the map for bulkhead/base and have them littered with corridors tho

/po/ is so toxic that it killed itself, is what happened.

I like it personally and making a map with a few papercraft objects and character stands is much easier done than figures. It's a lot more delicate though and if one of your players is a IRL Ogre with meat-clamps for hands you won't play long with your stuff.
>>97263756
Wooden or paper wouldn't be much difference in "sustainability" since a few sheets of paper can yield a lot of objects but wood figurines are much more durable.
That being said, proper woodwork is an art in itself and you are probably hard pressed to find people able to craft something half-decent as a figurine. I'm not half bad at diy projects and love working with wood for desks, couches cabinets etc but making a beautiful sculpt is really difficult and takes a lot of time.

>>97263675

I don't really have a preference but some papercraft terrain look pretty nice. I used to have a pretty decent sized collection, haven't looked in /po/ in an age. There were some pretty impressive creations there.

One thing about papercraft was that they don't stand up to handling in the long term. I remember seeing someone running a home brew game at a convention ages ago, she put a ton of work into a card/paper town and I'm just imagining the state of those buildings now, if they're even still around.

>>97263738
Certainly not me. Can you imagine the paper cuts?

I bought journals for note keeping. Now I need a format and layout for keeping my notes.
I'm thinking:
"A Quest Name" followed by
"Details about the adventure for later context" and then "bulleted objectives" underneath. It's not original but it should work.

I'd love to know how you solo Rogue Trader. Seems like it would be a bitch and a half.

Whats the fastest way to start solo rpg ing? Is there a plug and play type pdf or bundle which I can just download and start playing? Without any journalling or ai or none of that gay shit. Sort of like CYOAs and the theatre of the mind roleplaying that comes with mixed with mechanics like fallout the boardgame or slay the spire boardgame solo. Well it doesnt have to be like that, I just want to get my ttrpg quick and I havent found a crpg that scratches that itch

>>97263898
If you want a primer on solo-rpg, I'd recommend CRGE.
If you just want an all-in-one system you'd probably want Ironsworn or one of it's hacks.
If you want something a bit more fast, loose, narrative-based, and setting agnostic Miso RPG or Desired Scenes might help you.
If you meant something a bit more structured you could try Hints and Hijinx.
If none of that appeals to you you'll have to be more specific.

Is Gurps a good system for Solo play?
