How has a wife/girlfriend joining the group affected your games?
>>97233817This mirrors my experience with women at the table.Tends to buy in to the characterization and storytelling more, and less in to the numbers or the 'adventure'. However, the worst, most disruptive players I've had were also women, because they will go all in on psychotic concepts, but also fall apart when you sternly tell them to stop being such a fuckwit at the game table because they wanted to eat/rape an elf baby.
>>97229054If you're paying attention to games you are not paying attention to us. That's not acceptable.
>>97234561This.Most women, when they aren't drunk on radfem koolaid, really like being cute, doing cute things, and having cute stuff.Ask a random woman you are friendly with how many plushies she owns. 7/10 will have at least one.
Women just longhouse the group into avoiding adventure and doing retarded "comfy" rp
>>97234561There's a difference between liking pink things and doing what the OP pic is doing.
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.

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?
I've been inspired by Dwarf Fortress recently and like the idea of elves being the total nature related race (nothing new here), but part of that includes not using any metal tools or weapons; instead using magically formed wood or bone or whatever else. I'm just not sure if it really fits the "high elf" aesthetic of being masters of various crafts or if it's too unrealistic.
This thread makes me wish I had plans to play an elf pc at some point soon, but it will be months before I can do so.I have 1 human, 1 dwarf, 1 dhampir lined up, unless one of them dies.... anyone got a pic of a fire magic using elf? Not too flashy in garb?

Burning Sagas is getting digital version, is it any good or just baby's first war game?
>>97234730It is on my shelf, I do very much enjoy it for what it is.In saying that the answer to your question is complicated. Moeller was an mtg artist as a career for a long time and is still afaik a newer designer. His approach so far has been riffing ideas from minis wargaming rules and adapting them. Burning Banners was different but that's because it was riffing directly on Divine Right.It is overly simple to the point the base game would be unplayably boring if not for the artwork and scale. But take the rules system and put it on a normal map with normal art and no one would bother, it's wargamevault slop tier rulesNow add in the advanced rules and it becomes more interesting but also more clumsy, more chaotic and unpredictable, and much more slow. The game is unplayable at 4p because its just so dull and so slowCompare it to beginner wargames like Simonitich's Salerno, and you have something still very easy, still very rewarding if you practice and try, and has enough nuance to the rules that it isn't just checkers to other games' chessIf the price isn't right I don't feel its worth it. And honestly at the price I paid for the physical, I wish it was just paper maps and 1/4 of the price because it was like 150cad which was dumb as fuck considering the gameplay is 6/10 at bestDo I still like it and think its worth playing ,sure. And ill probably buy the exp. But if a competitor came along and made a version with an experienced designer who had a creative approach to getting a bit more out of the game, it would absolutely push BBs shit deeply in

To preface, I'm an MTG veteran. My first Precon was Coven Counters in 2021 and I've been an EDH player ever since.After years of playing, I think the WUBRG elemental may just do me in. Gimmick synergy, tribal, a real throw in anything somewhat related type of commander potential. It also has the most forced WUBRG ability to date: being able to pay WUBRG in order to keep an Elemental you Evoked is utter bullshit. It completely defeats the purpose of Evoke and is just a continuation of "drop a set, put whatever you want under 1 commander."I hate it, you hate it, and it's just a slap in the face of previous WUBRG Legendaries that tried to be something more than tribal or gimmick synergy, or just cram some WUBRG ability in last second, such as [[Atogatog]] [[General Tazri]] [[Golos, Tireless Pilgrim]] [[Jodah, the Unifier]] [[Jenson Carthalion, Druid Exile]] [[Morophon, the Boundless]] [[Najeela, Blade Blossom]] and [[Ramos, Dragon Engine]] . And I'm missing a shitton of other WUBRG Legendaries that could be Commanders.But let's look at the new WUBRG Legendaries that could be Commanders (hint: they're all tribal, gimmick synergy, or cram in a WUBRG ability last second): [[Avatar Aang]] [[Cosmic Spider-Man]] [[Hei Bai, Forest Guardian]] [[Heroes in a Half Shell]] and [[Infinite Guideline Station]] .As long as WotC keeps dropping cards like [[Horde of Notions]] , MTG will die very soon and for real this time.

Moloch's Fun Park Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/Comment too long.

>>97230424FUCK!
>>97229581Okay think about it like this. Charismatic Impact is one really expensive skill that's limited in application and unless you get it to a high level grants middling benefits. It's a similar problem to the Lawman and Backup.
>>97234045If you cannot see how useful a skill to turn groups of people or individuals in your fans, and then having those fans do shit for you, you're bad at rpgs, full stop.
>>97234045Alright, so lets talk about what Charismatic Impact does realistically, using the book examples: DV 8, DV 10 and DV 12 are standardized across the board and are both for making fans and getting stuff from them. The GM is instructed to auto-fail requests that are out of scope, so we'll try to match the descriptions to the letter. We'll assume the maximum rank for a given bracket, just to not calculate things too many times:Rank 2:DV 8 - Individual - 40% chance of doing a small favor; providing a meal or transportationDV 10 - Small Group - 20% chance of showing up invitedDV 12 - Large Group - N/ARank 4:DV 8 - Individual - 60% chance of doing a large favorDV 10 - Small Group - 40% chance of hanging around and providing food or transportationDV 12 - Large Group - 20% chance of... to be honest this one is kinda vague, but following the initial pattern, it seems they'll show upRank 6:DV 8 - Individual - 80% chance of doing minor crimesComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97234206Yeah so looking at this list Rockerboy is pretty useless until level 6 and even then you only get an 80%-40% chance NPCs will do something meaningful for you. Compare this to an Exec who at rank 6 will have two useful NPCs work for them permanently doing whatever they say along with everything else the Exec gets by that point.There's no description of what fans are actually like, what their stats are, what they can realistically achieve. Again it puts onus on the GM to figure it out, which can lead to Rockerboy being either really good or really useless depending on how these rules are interpreted and implemented.>If you can't see how to use that there's no point in me bringing up how ludicrous is to walk up to 6 dudes and say "hey, I want you to go rough up some cops" and have them go "rock on dude" and do it sometimes without question.Yeah so I can convince a bunch of retards to go get shot. For what reason? Are they going to be capable of actually downing the Cops? Are my fans not just civillians with little training?Also anything the Rockerboy can achieve through Charismatic Impact could be solved with other skill checks. In my experience players aren't sure how to actually use Charismatic Impact and use it as a catch all social check. Like you could probably just give Rockerboy's a bonus to a few social skills instead of Charismatic Impact and you wouldn't lose too much utility. They're nothing in the rules to say you can't convince a group of people into suicidal fervor with a high enough Persuasion check.

>>97232721Other things you might consider:>If your melee and ranged attacks use different stats, then shotguns give ranged builds a close option>If ranged weapons normally take penalties against close targets shotguns could bypass that.
>>97232721>>97229990don't know how mekton works but, the way I built shotguns on my PF2E hack is that they can hit multiple targets due to a scatter property, and they can deal good damage but they don't gain stat bonuses on said damage, meaning a rifle has lower, but more "consistent" damage while the shotgun can deal between 3 to 18 damage in a shot. They also all have recoil so you can't run and gun with them. Some of them also have "Razing" which makes them deal more damage when hitting structures.From what I read and what you described, for mekton, you could probably add an area effect damage to them, give them a "critical range" where they deal a bit more damage or making them deal low amounts of damage to multiple parts (which add in total to high damage).
>>97232619>Logically, shells full of scattering shot are a much better weapon for attacking NOT armored targets... and mechs ain't that.Have them fire sabots/flechettes
does this look like a cool mech weapon

Also, wouldn't troons be ideal candidates for game design? I mean, they very rarely have kids or other obligations and their autistic brains are perfect for designing competitive games. I mean, compared to the days when GW games were made by middle-aged British dads who just took it on faith that gamers would behave like reasonable people.
