>Earther ramparts
On an obj game it does have a strong use case against armies like empire with large unit size. A single spell turning off rank bonus is pretty amazing when you want to be charged.
Hard to say which spell I'd drop in your position... How many times did you get the mystical pathways off?

>How many times did you get the mystical pathways off?
Just once, but that was all that was needed to plonk my gor block on the objective and make it hard(er) for him to get it.
The rest of the time I viletided his unit since he needed to redress the ranks to even charge my unit since his group was pretty wide.

Recently I was thinking about alternative combat systems.

I remember someone talking about instead of HP the payer has a Jenga tower and he needs to remove peaces once hit, the skill is to remove peaces without the tower collapsing


So I started thinking.
For example what if the combat somehow involves cups and balls?

Instead of a D20+modifier nonsense why not change it up? Why not give a player 10 balls or legos or whatever and to win an encounter the player needs to land 2 balls in 1 cup?

There can be variants of this like a super hard encounter demands the player lands all 10 balls or what about reducing the size of the cup with the difficulty of combat?

What if we implement a fate system from Talisman for the players? What if legendary bosses have something like that for themselves? And can negate the players victory?

What if different monsters use different "balls" like for example some bone golems will be you throwing legos into cups and zombies are aluminum balls while naga can be gummy bears? That actually makes the monster feel different and not a copy pasted set of numbers. Also the different aerodynamics of these "balls" are part of the fun.

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!

>>97253160
seems reasonable but the categories are kinda vague and overlapping. if you fix that then it's a decent classification for warships.
>>
>>97253160
I might steal that for some of the factions in my space game. Rules-wise ships are split into size classes 1 (destroyer/other subcapital), 2 (cruiser) and 3 (battleship), and the human navy uses the destroyer/cruiser/battleship classification and uses the same terms for other faction's ships of similar size (with the exception of obvious carriers being referred as such), but internally other factions could use different classifications.
>>
>>97253209
And here's my take on ship classification based on factions. Game rules wise, ships are supposed to be split into battleship-sized and cruiser-sized capital ships and smaller subcapital ships that operate as squadrons, so the classification is designed to roughly match that regardless of faction (though lorewise for the Collective Fleet only the core ships are in their terminology equivalent to capital ships and everything else considered to be escorts).

>you do know that they put in the slime, goblin, and skeleton options among others specifically because theyre easy to recognize and understand, and also have some of the most fleshed out possibilities for what they can become right
So what? just because they're recognisable doesn't change the fact that they're generic and boring as fuck. And its not like every monster evolution cyoa has a different unique take on them, they all have the exact same bigger slime/skeleton/goblin middle evolutions and ooze/lich/goblin king final evolutions. Its the most uninspired shit imaginable.
>what do you expect theyre going to put in a monster evolution cyoa as a basic option, humans
Unironically yes, imagine a sci-fi human evolution cyoa where you can choose between a bunch of mutant posthumans evolutionary lines each with their own weird quirks and abilities. There, I just gave you a better premise tham 99,99% of recycled monster evolution slop.
>of course theyre going to use the monsters that everyone recognizes and understands like goblins or slimes

Is this ragebait or are you retarded? They lose a lot. only notable thing besides "le gundum" they have is that they ae young and that's used to make the Empire look like a eldrich horor. I mean that's literally their most iconic scene. Kill a dreadnought and find out he is older than the entire civilization. Models are gay asf. Exposed to be the alien race yet only have kroot and one unit of vspids.
As u/CraftworldSarathai said, "T'au are held to an unrealistic standard, there are tons of stories in which the highly elite, advanced, super-old T'au die like total novices in droves to Space Marines, For fucksakes etherals die like nothing. Kelly hates the T'au. The Farisght books are written at a 2nd grade level, are poorly plotted, and contradict themselves pretty frequently. Shadowsun is the pinnacle of randomly deciding what is or is not tau lore. We have so little of it and he contradicts literally everything. Hell they lose a plant to the Dark Eldar like it's nothing.

I still say there should be an "Original Generation" setting with no humans or other generic fantasy things like elves, just stuff made up for D&D. Kinda hard to balance a set of playable races around that, though since most of the OG stuff was made with being random shit for players to fight in mind. I guess Drow and Giths are distinct enough from generic Dark Elves and goblinoids to count.

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.

He's not. He talks a big game and loves to say things that sound intelligent, but in practice he runs games with a lot of blunt force railroading.
>In videos: Be flexible! Improv! Put the spotlight on the PCs since they're the stars! If they come up with a cool idea, just use it! Player choices matter!
>In practice: Talks over the players. Spews obnoxious drawn out exposition dumps instead of player-NPC interaction. Gets annoyed when players don't immediately follow the exact things he planned from start to finish for the entire campaign. Whenever they go outside of his plans, he just forces them back on rails. Cutscene narration as often as possible.

1 is basic combinatorics. There's 8 options for the first school, and 7 options for the second. That gives 56 total pairs, but it's actually 28 unique pairs as Abjuration/Divination is the same as Divination/Abjuration. That gives 26 remaining after Enchantment/Necromancy and Conjuration/Divination are spoken for.

2 you're gonna have to just sit down with an excel spreadsheet and start coming up with words.

I’ve been reading the ASOIAF books after reading the Dune series, since I like the great house culture of it and it reminds me of Battletech.

If the Great Houses of BT were in ASOIAF as noble houses, which kingdom do you think each would fit in with?

I’m think Davion in the stormlands due to their militarism, Steiner in the Reach kind of because of their high standard of living relative to the others but also because they seem more pragmatic than others, maybe Marik in the Vale since they tend to mind their own business and be forgotten.

Which kingdoms do you think match which BT houses?

The autism to combine two fandoms together... I once had such autism...
Steiner would be the Stormlands, I have no reason other than it makes sense to me.

Fuck matching houses to houses. Lets cut to the chase. How hard does Tywin win the setting as Lord of any of the five houses.

Easy. By not fucking up his relationship with Tyrion.
