That said, I'm fairly confident that true love don't matter for shit, babes, blood bond's the blood bond.If you love somebody like a mother, the blood bond might focus on that, and if you want to fuck them, it'll probably be romantic and sexual instead, and there's a lot other angles, even hate-fucking and rivalry as blood-bond fuel.

Dedicated Drizzt Do'Urden EditionDiscuss and post elves. Elf lore, gameplay, and art are all appreciated.QOTT: What drove you to elves specifically?
>>97224306I don't know if any systems give any bonuses to elven ears. In real life, heightened hearing means being able to listen to frequencies and tones that are above or below what most humans can hear, but typically tones that are in normal ranges are roughly the same since sound is a physical phenomenon. Here's a video to demonstrate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM4WSBZanQQ"Hearing age" is a bit of a pseudoscientific term, but it does reflect the range of noises you can detect with the naked ear and kids tend to hear higher frequencies.
>>97224585Nevermind, that video is just trash, here's a better one that doesn't literally cut the audio for engagement baithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAsMlDptjx8
Any obscure systems with good elf gameplay? I've only played mainstream RPG's (D&D, Pathfinder, WFRP, and GURPS)
>>97224306>Their ears are good. But in what way? >Do they just hear everything louder? Would suck massiv ass in an city and elves would whisper to each other in their cities.I would say yes. Larger ears would catch more noise and channel to the ear canal, meaning they would hear things as louder. (you can simulate this by cupping your ears with your hands while trying to listen to something). Also, likely, like dogs, they'd be able to pick up on frequencies of sound beyond human hearing. This is why most elves eschew city life and prefer to live in forests or other remote locales.>Or is it meant in a my ears can distinguish noises very good like you can count e.g. 25 gobbos by their footsteps alone through a door?I would say also yes. If they evolved (or were created) to have ears that collect more sounds, their brains would be similarly developed to interpret and distinguish one sound source from another.>Is it just very sharp eyesight or can they see in the dark or whatever?I like to think of them as just sharper, without any better vision in the dark than humans, barring elves that live underground.Also how high can elves jump considering their are basically weightless (like in lotr) and how far can they fall until the get hurt (if they get hurt at all)They'd have weight, just lighter of frame and better agility for landing on their feet like a cat or tucking and rolling to disperse the impact like a young (still with all their knee cartilage) parkourer?... person who does parkour.
>>97224585heard the video before. reminds me of a joke of what colours animals can see and what we can see and it was the same twice. also would apply for sound since i don know whats afterYou think elves would hear more in the lower and higher?>I don't know if any systems give any bonuses to elven ears.well not specifically a rule in game or setting but i just want to know what they could do. For example my elf player wants to hear whats going on on the other side of the door. And i want to roughly know what i can tell them. Completly aside from rolling dices and rules. Just on a basic level>>97224614> Larger ears would catch more noise and channel to the ear canal, meaning they would hear things as louderwouldnt that be terrible for combat which is terribly loud and noisy normally? i mean you could definetly stuff yours ears with wool or something as a solution but still. Basically they would have to do that all the time when talking to other races aswell no?Also some elves also live in cities. (considering in the setting "high elves" exist which build and craft stuff (loud) exist.)can fit the rest of the answer well into my stuff.

>>97224478very solid new antioch paintjob, also like the mix of mud and dirt on the base for variety
>>97224478Needs some weathering to go with the rust, like the other anon said you'd expect it to have holes and for the rusted parts to be thinner, especially at the edges, if you want to sell that rusted tractor look. I think the paint job and color scheme are both really well done though
Dear Anon, thank you for the wonderful gift! The weird Stirlander has been enlisted into a free company and will be supplied an appropriate livery. The Kriegork will lead a Kommando squad, they have been lacking discipline lately.The squigs are adorable, I'm thinking about substituting my bomb squigs for them for the upcoming holiday game. The plushie is going to live on my bedstand guarding my books.As for the Leviathan, he's perfect. I'm working on one right now and wonted a second for symmetry. I'll try some freehand on his large front armour panels.The sweets will likely be gone by the end of the day. I'm very fond of panettoni!I hope you have a warm and cozy Christmas and wish you a Happy New Year in matters of hoby and otherwise!

>>97224145So I've been writing and writing, got world a lore and everything but I can't decide on a what system and/or ruleset use. Labyrinthus caught me attention, has anyone here given it a try? How is it?
>>97224834>has anyone here given it a tryIt's one of the most played systems here so, that would say something about it. If you like to come up with things and like the flexibility of the random generation it's pretty good. Takes some time to lean but it also has the pre-made Adventures which sort of teach you how to play. Plus the author is pretty fast at fixing things or is always welcoming towards suggestions or homebrews
>>97224834It's the bestest most wonderful game ever and does everything effortlessly. You will never need another game ever.
This is a second OSRG, seperate from the main osrg thread, where you CAN talk about 2e, retroclones, and any osr content you want.This is different than the regular osrg as due to rampant trolling from a handful of bad actors, discussion is impossible.
>>97224903i think the monster manual is better tbdesu, really satisfies almost all of my needs
>>97224698Zero surprise.
>>97224812>the Carin fixes linked by the creator are all deleted as are any comments in the reditlmao
>>97224920The Monster Manual is also great. It may seem like a minor thing, but I think that it has both the % in lair and Morale score figures is absolutely great, I miss the first one in B/X and the second one in AD&D.And the encounter tables are SO well made. They're really an improvement over the ones Gygax made in the DMG... and I already thought of the Gygax tables as the best in the hobby to begin with.
>constant dramapostingfishfag, PLEASE, talk about games, not your discord drama.Anyone else use tiered reactions like this? It helps me adjudicate modifiers based on initial reaction, without using fiat. Helps keep things a bit unpredictable too.
How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?
>>97224342That's the most reasonable explanation I can think of. Goblin threads are pretty common there but I don't think I've ever seen them moved here before. If anything they're usually just left to hit the bump limit.
>>97221079To contribute to the "us vs them" tribalism that distracts the unenlightened masses from the underlying problems that really plague the world?
>>97221977That's different, because the government spent the last 5 years actively trying to get more and more of them for cheap labour.Which could make for a fun fantasy setting, importing the greenskins for convenient workers, goblin girls trying to snare a humie husband so they can stay in the kingdom...
>>97220810Did you see the "ai makes dream games" thread on /v/? It's not unreasonable to make images of minis using the new models.
>>97213989>the word "goblin" gets posted anywhere>thread immediately becomes about pornI hate current year Internet.
Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy? >A world rocked by cataclysm>landscapes filled with chaos and wonder>mage storms>An enduring mystery; what happened, and what happened in the intervening centuries?>An atmosphere of hope and renewal, as heroes rise, and mysteries are investigated.>Darkness and evil await in corners and ruins, like pools of dank water waiting for the sun>the brink of a New Age Interesting setting? What elements would you include? I'm just gonna throw zombies at them.
I run a post apocalyptic mecha setting and it's pretty comfy. There is still civilization in a few places but the world is ravaged after a huge world war and people mostly band together to fight monsters. There's a lot of introspection and solitude that lets characters really take a breath because they visit a lot of places that were once clearly filled with people everywhere
>>97224732Certified "I learned about TTRPGs through Critical Roll and theater class" opinion
>>97224765Okay, let me try a different angle to get your weird broken brain thinking a bit: what games do you play?
>>97224772B/x
>>97224798Okay, so how did you gain levels in B/X?
What the fuck was the Emperor doing during the DAOT and the age of strife?
>>97215204>>97216068...It's literally written there in black and white in Realms of Chaos: The Lost and The Damned, page 174-175>The Emperor is over 50,000 years old.>The Emperor is the collective incarnation of every one of the ancient Stone Age psyker-shamans, who committed suicide to pool their entire power and collective wisdom, honed over millions of years of reincarnations, into a single being that could stand against the rise of Chaos.Retards.
>>97210942BVILT FOR BIG BLOODTHIRSTER COCK
The emperor being immortal and responsible for humanity's progress since pre-history is spin written by a fanatical church. He wasn't 10 feet tall, the most powerful psyker ever etc. that's just how his legend has grown over the 10k years since he fell.Next you'll act like the primarchs were actually his "sons" and not just warlords he recruited and put in charge of the legions during the crusades. Probably with some obviously bullshit, overly complex backstory involving teleportation and time dilation to explain the hundreds of years difference in ages of some of them.
>>97221845Tau hands wrote this
Why did 5.5e drop the ball so hard? Everyone I know who likes 5e is staying with 5.0e. And more than a few of them have moved to 3.5, OSR, or other games entirely.Is WOTC just stupid?
>>972244124e's sub model was hilariously successful and you'd know if you weren't getting made up infographics from PFG
>>972244894e's online tools and plans for a VTT and further products fell apart because of a murder-suicide.
>>97224529lol, you have zero info on anything that happened post release. 4e's sub model included tons of magazine style micro supplements being released all the time, feeding into the most robust character builder at the time. The online tools also served as a much better resource than the old SRDs, including easily printable monster cards that auto-calculated and scaled to level, which were also easily customizable. Every new book also fed directly into this model and so you have this vast repository of things to easily reference and create if you were subbed Like, people loved the crazy convenience of the system and it was a hell of a deal for the average guy. You don't have to like the game, but fucking know what you're talking about.
>>97224577D&D insider was a decent idea and it was the blueprint for D&D Beyond, more or less, but "hilariously successful" in terms of money making is not remotely true. This /biz/ routine you keep doing just leads me to ask one thing of you: Post hands.
>>97224605NTA but DDI could be tracked on the lowball by the D&D Insider group in WotC's community. This was a lowball because you also had to have a community account registered to it (not necessary). In 2013 at one point it had grown to a 81k userbase, with a monthly sub of minimum 10 bucks. Calculate that over a year and you have over 9 million, and 2013 was a slow year because literally no new books came out. I don't know what to tell you except that's crazy revenue on an off year, totally unseen in the industry before that.
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.
>>97213017>Nu40kDo you mean units? Because many of the units are foul.>>97186166>There will never be a definitive editionBy design because they want to milk you for $If for some reason I didn't want to play OPR any more, I'd play the fan SRD for 4th. But that would only be if OPR shits the bed and I didn't like Xenos Rampant or something.
>>97205175Rate it how and for what?
Speaking of 9th, who the hell thought Combat Attrition was a good way of getting people to buy more models?
>>97217289>>97223192Unironically the best part of 10th was when marines had Armour of Contempt. It made marine armour feel significant against small arms fire. That being said, too many attacks, too much AP, too high strength for basic cheap troops in 9th was a nightmare. Orks were balanced good though.The sad thing is the core faction identities were well done,with interesting and varied mechanics. It was the inflation of the basic statline that was a major issue.8th ed statlines with 9th ed faction rules could do the trick
>>97224795Meant 9th, not 10th. I'm retarded
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.

He was probably one of the most conventionally attractive, hygienic and personable players there.However he WAS short, is the only upside I can report.His MO appeared to be roping you into a false sense of pleasant-gaming-ness and asking for little things in the spirit of a "good game" but they'd get to be progressively more ludicrous asks. But because you gave the last thing to him, and this other thing wasn't that much worse, and the guy's nice, why not?He just overplayed his hand against me by claiming terrain doesn't exist unless both players agree to it or whatever
