Premodern won.Pauper won.Brazil won.
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.

>>97276031You do remember, and you can check yourself since it's your post history. Pretending not to know means you're hiding something, and you deserved to be judged.

>>97275236Thrid group is what happens when some (adhd) players feel nothing is happening (and by that they mean combat/action). While i do agree that such types are subhumans that would be preferable to execute for the bettering of mankind i noticed that i get less of that using the right focus for the game in question. D&D (as i'm assuming your game is about) charoptions are 9/10 about combat and that informs the game expectations: imagine you're a midwit that just made a cool oc with lots of kickass abilities you're dying to try out... and the table is wasting hours discussing with imaginary people that don't agree about your excuse for moving scene to the actual fun part (combat with the bandits), you get so bored that at some point you just go "fuck it" and attack the annoying npc so something finally happens. After the shitshow they specifically asked you about making bandit pc because, to them, they seem the most straightforward faction to be part of that doesn't impair the (in their mind) game.As fun as watching players discussing sounds, part of your job as GM is regulating pacing. You noticed that 3# and 4# were doing nothing and probably you could tell that they were getting bored, that was the moment you had to wrap up the scene with a procedure and a time limit (the bandits are coming soon!).

>TQI'm looking forward to Oathmark 2e.
Hello /awg/Whats your favorite skirmish games?I already play killteam and want to try some other stuff.Been looking into 5 leagues from the borderlands / 5 parsecs from home to play coop with wife.Frostgrave and Stargrave are also easy to get around here, including minis.Bolt action sounds fun but WW2, even though i like the theme, is pretty boring.
>>97275538This is Not a Test -- extremely flexible post-apoc skirmish that also does sci-fi reasonably well. Can do pretty much anything you want, from "The Hills have Eyes", to Fallout, to Necromunda. Just got a new edition that shakes a bunch of stuff up, but 1e is fine. The force list does an excellent job of balancing flavorful, limited lists while giving you enough archetypes to play pretty much anything you want. The all-Robot lists, extra power armor stuff, and the Mutant Cannibals still haven't made the jump from 1e to 2e. No vehicle rules7TV is a goofy 1970s British TV pulp game. It's got a lot of randomness baked in, if that's a problem for you. Many, many plugin modules for zombies, hedge horror (think "Wicker Man" or "Dead and Buried"), spy-fi (Bond, Archer, Danger 5), sword-and-sandal, detective shows, post-apoc, dungeon fantasy, 1930s pulp, etc. Uses profile cards and a fairly basic dice system. It's very effects-based, so a miniature of Christopher Lee's mummy might be a "diabolical overlord" in one scenario, and demoted to an evil magical lieutenant in another. There are a lot of cool tools buried in the rules, like using a Cop's "Command" ability to corral panicking neutral civilians and get them away from the monsters that are attacking them. Decent vee rules.En Garde is my favorite fantasy skirmish system. Campaign system is weak and the fantasy element is low-key. I also feel the terrain rules are quite bland for something that advertises itself as a swashbuckling game, but it's still entertaining and evocative enough that I'll forgive it. The actual combat has a really cool bluffing/exhaustion mechanic that rewards swarming more powerful characters but still lets them buzzsaw through isolated mooks or make heroic last stands against the odds. Officially it's Early Modern/late Renaissance, realistically the rules pretty much work from Stone age all the way to the 1800s. Has unit and army construction rules baked in.
>>972755385 Parsecs is great for the solo campaign stuff. The skirmish battle mechanics are simple and serviceable - for my money it could use more crunch, but you can add that yourself.The X-Grave minis are generic but excellent. Lots of bits and all very interchangeable.I like Xenotactics, which is heavy on reactions. Probably sucks to play with someone that gets decision paralysis easily.
>gain traction from GW losing community goodwill>immediately start killing your own community goodwill before you even have a product fully outWhat is this business strategy called?
I just wanted based ww1 Kyven Rus, Tsarist Muscovy fighting demons and shit along with the other factions I kinda (and still am to certain extent) such as Poland and the scythians (im guessing their Alans). instead i get fucking reddit rug pulled by cynical cuck faggot shit about how God is still bad because >"muh hekin cannites and the Amalekites weere hekin genocides by the behest of your God and muh hekin gays sex WAHHHH If i cant paint my lovers intestines with my seed then im lterlly opressed"the only thing that saves this from being complete garbage is that thy still want to make the demons evil. I fucking hate mellinals and GenX so much its Unreal
TC's mask really came off when they added the Muslims who are all stereotypically peaceful, nice and super smart and way better than the Christian Europeans, followed with Discord rants about how "that's just like RL" and other reddit atheist talking points.
>Trench crusade thread>always starts a raging culture war debatewhat causes this phenomenon? even 40k wasn't this bad when GW caused their personal 9/11 by adding femstodes
>>97275017>what causes this phenomenon?Contrary to what brainlets will tell you, 40k's continued success and popularity rests primarily on the simple fact that GW design, manufacture, and sell the best heroic scale science-fantasy miniatures in the world.Trench Crusade, on the other hand, is in itself basically just a shitpost. And the "hobby" revolving around is shitposting.
>>97275017Because TC committed suicide to own the chuds while GW is still kickingGW has decades of old lore and rules to fall back on while TC is totally fucked

Welcome to /wbg/, the thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art. Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have, cunt!Last thread: >>96999149Worldbuilding links: Post someFantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator
>>97273621Ok. My point was that blatant Biblical themes work mainy in "our 19-21th century" type of urban fantasy. Even if you find theoretical justification to add elves and orcs, it would be organic only in the formula>(N)WoD + KULT setting + Tiefling and Aasimar + Bright (2017, film)
>>97273721>(N)WoD + KULT setting + Tiefling and Aasimar + Bright (2017, film)+ Hellblazer + Hellboy
>>97273529I'm drawn to Cain because of several elements:The Mark of Cain.City of Enoch.Destined to Wander the Land of Nod.Founded the Fist City.Also, making Tiefling symmetrical to the Aasimar is compelling and gives a much needed myth gravity that normal Aasimar lack because they are less my grandpa had sex with an angel, I won the lottery, and more my grandpa were great heroes but also tyrants.
>>97273529As for elves = indistinguishable from actual demons for longer than people remember.
I'm making Magitek that runs off Rei Ayanami bondage.>To elaborate, magic can only be harnessed by human thought in my verse. If you want to create Magitek, you need to somehow figure out a way to get some human to run it forever and ever.>Their solution was simply to take a particularly excellent female Mage, clone her, and use the Clones as the main component in creating magic using Spaceships/Airships and Mecha.>The clones are usually young girls that are engineered to be emotionless, submissive, and highly intelligent so that they can be turned into sapient tools. The real controllers (ie captains) are usually normal young male soldiers that subdue these clones to their will.>The mechanism that harnesses the clones' power is designed to literally bind them and turn them into passive objects for the human controllers. The usual design is just the clone bound to a cross while dressed in a white jumpsuit (barefoot, of course) while the pilot sits in the seat and does all the actual fighting.You could say the girls are basically just U.I. slash concubines for the male pilots. It's dirty business, but it works. And more often than not motivates pilots to fight harder so that their Core doesn't think they're cowards.
Is it a good advice for game masters who want to run campaign in the "exotic" place instead of generic "coast of swords" clone?
>>97270237I can barely comprehend what it's trying to say, it's such a meandering wafflemouth piece of writing that's only legible to people who communicate exclusively in highschool word padding essays.Charitably I can try to parse and convert to a concise TL;DR as "Don't boil down other cultures to just exotic stereotypes, there is logic and history behind those stereotypes that is lived by its members. Let exoticism come from what other cultures find normal, not what yours finds strange".
>>97274840>Let exoticism come from what other cultures find normal, not what yours finds strangeI'd argue these are mostly the same thing
>>97270237I feel like it really takes away from your message when half the people reading it can't even tell what the fuck it's trying to say.
>>97270704Oh...Fuck that, I'd rather play opressive cops in a cyberpunk setting
>>97274840Sure, but this is only brought up in relation to Mwangi. The phrasing makes it clear that it is not reciprocal to other areas' peoples or cultures, only to a region of a fictional Not! Africa. Therefore, the message is quite clear: it is not okay for you, whitey, to find these areas exotic and try to exert any sort of control over them that your roleplay may or may not require, but they are allowed to do so in return.>inb4 "It has nothing to deal with race or real-world politics and history!"Yeah, tell that to WotC, since they clearly can't or refuse to understand this themselves. Though they are certainly not alone in this mindset, unfortunately.

How is it? Looks bretty fun
>>97257046In my experience it was hard to set up a side to side collision, but that was only 1 car. You'll have to take suboptimal moves and ignore other players just to keep them in pinball range of each other, all just for an extra move every turn. If it works everyone else cooperates in smashing you. Sometimes I find loophole combos like that and think they didnt balance it very well, but the self regulating in Gaslands works very well.
>>97247524I genuinely love this game. Mike Hutchinson has made some bangers but this is probably my favourite. Solid ruleset and a kitbashing wet dream. As others have said, there is something uniquely satisfying about customising old Hot Wheels cars too.
>>97249677>first lap is weapons-lockedusually just the first stretch between start and checkpoint 1. Also if you car can't survive a collision and then abuse the "go through whatever you collided with" rule, you deserve to be buried in the pileup.
>>972698081 car 1 buggy, put some front rams on the bug and front gun on the car, place 4 checkpoints so the fastest path is a king of criss cross x| thing, put something in the center, and just let your players loose at the mostly open terrain.
