>>97270692Extra parts for mechs tend to be better used to make more mechs. It only matters when you have a severe shortage of pilots and an excess of materiel, which is simply not the IS's problem.
>>97270222Wheeled option for quadvees are already there in the rules, though I forget if they've made any canon examples yet. Wheels for quadvees are bizarrely heavier than tracks but you get an extra cruise MP out of it.
>>97270651Metal Core Collectibles miniature line.
>>97270750It's actually a training and doctrinal limitations which make Omnis a side grade outside of the Clans.
as much as I love my fucking hunchback, or the wolverine... I still am unable to get the notion that the best medium is actually the griffin out of my head. its just great. fast, mobile, decent armour, a fat lrm tube and a big fucking lightning cannon. simple to pilot really, you can focus on the move and shoot and fundamentals instead of juggling 50 different weapon systems. its literally 'stinger / wasp, but bigger and better' so PERFECT for any kind of unit, since the stinger or wasp is like THE mech every fucking cadet learnt to pilot in.

>>97247081I wasn't intending to do this one, but I just kinda stated sketching the face as a warm up and I knew I had to finish it.
>>97269590Reminds me a bit of Butch Hartmans artstyle. In a good way.
>>97269590 "Please....sirs. Be...welcome in our lands, We will endeavor to do our very best to aid you. "Yes! Yes!" (claps hands and gestures) "Please, this way."
>>97269590>>97269736You can just tell that he'll be the most hospitable guy, but his manners will be atrocious in the most manipulatively polite way possible. He'll call the dwarf party "moles" with full affection, and state that whatever he's showing off, involved with, or describing may be just a bit too complicated for them to fully grasp. Any combat will be full of condescending remarks in the vein that violence is beneath the party, and especially beneath him when you compare altitudes.I almost feel bad for drawfriend, all of that perfectly smug warm-up sketch face is gonna turn concave.
>>97269590not OR but "thanks a lot I wanna punch him in the dick" comes to mind as what I'd say if I was the OR lmao
Thoughts on this man?
>>97252432He's a chubby, middle-aged manlet who wears nail polish. You've got to have a pretty specific kink to find him attractive

The stink of California is all over his work and storytelling. It was tolerable but has been getting stronger over time.
>>97150745He seems like a nice enough guy. I marvel at his patience running games for people who still don't know how to play after literal years and multiple campaigns.

How is it? Looks bretty fun
>>97265462I've seen people run Mario Kart with it. Ironically, I think races are what Gaslands is worst at, because rarely does anyone actually finish the race. It's a huge collision clusterfuck right at the start, then weapons come online and the idea of actually racing goes out the window. I much prefer deathmatches or some of the arena types with goals to accomplish.
>>97269328What's the best mode to teach some new players (including myself) and let them have some fun? 1 car each and deathmatch?
>>97269808the official kids ruleshttps://planetsmashergames.com/sdm_downloads/gaslands-kids-mode/2 pages!
>>97269328I largely found the opposite. Races had several viable approaches including smashing everything immediately, dashing to the first gate and opening fire, and racing off into the sunset. Deathmatch games don't give much hope to light, speedy teams. Flag Tag mostly went too far the other way as a couple of buggies could usually rush some flags while a heavier team had barely got started. And Saturday Night Live was hugely sponsor dependent.
>>97254792Realistically you wouldn't have a missile poking out (if it's clearing the door, it's mid launch), but a Minuteman style door wouldn't be too hard to make; just a hunk of foam for the door and a couple of pieces of sprue for tracks.

>>97270652This, but unironically.
>>97270652trvke
>>97270586>most of the waacfags having been filtered out of the game during its 1st edition launch where the rules werent really concreteI don't think that actually mattered TOO much, they would've started slipping back in over the editions.But on the whole you're correct, aos filters out most of the weirdos. I think probably the worst you'll have to deal with are actually the waac, or waac-adjacent types. Yknow the guys that'll stomp a newbie during a teaching game or something. But even though they're the most common type of weirdos in AoS, they're thankfully still quite rare on the whole.

What's with AoSissies and the wannabe-grog larping kek, your game gets mogged by fucking Kill Team and Nucromunda.

>>97270610>>97270623>>97270669Communityfag is autistic and obviously started in third edition. He never has any real play anecdotes. He is incredibly sensitive about infernals and yozi. He doesn't care for solars. He will start insulting everybody when he's cornered instead of simply peacing out. This is an unc
>>97270706It is weird to see somebody do shaming tactics in an anonymous image board.
>>97270706Brother I just got here the fuck are you talking about. Also it's not my fault that Infernals are the best splat and puts all other splats to shame especially Solars.My opinion on the Realm is that fucking around on the Blessed Islands is probably a bad idea unless you have a solid game plan and are higher essence but it also just depends on what you're doing. Reaction time is measured in days instead of weeks or months for those places really far from the Blessed Islands. A solaroid who thinks they can't lose is just setting themselves up for disaster. Depending on where on the Blessed Islands the reaction time could be measured in under an hour if not immediate, like if you fuck around in the cities.It's the place for spy games or the end game, although you can do plenty more with it. I personally think a Suicide Squad or Tournament arc would be interesting but that's me.
>>97270732>daysFaster, if they're on the ball and an instant message went out. In 1e/2e, airships are something the Blessed Isle's chapterhouses might still have access to and the Realm's more common models can go up to 200mph with a Dragonblooded sailor piloting them. With the spacing between the two chapterhouses they could get anywhere on the Isle in hours. In the case where astrology is in play, response time could actually be negative - and astrology is much more likely to pin you down on the Blessed Isle, because the Convention on the Center employs every Chosen of Secrets it can get it's hands on (and Chejop can get his hands on a lot), and because it's much easier to arrange thaumaturgic astrology when you have control over the locals.In 3e the Wyld Hunt isn't an overarching organisation, just the name for 'when Dragonblood group up and hunt Anathema', so reaction speed on the Isle is anywhere from nothing (if nobody cares) to negative (if a Sidereal cares).
>leather armor>studded leather armor
>>97256133idk dude I open up my 1eAD&D PHB and see studded leather in there, too.
>>97265418My favourite example of stuff like this is the whole clips vs. magazines thing in firearms, especially since there's a photograph from the Vietnam war of some soldiers who clearly have "CLIPS" printed on their spare magazine pockets/pouches. Shit gets mixed up all the time and modern day military autists who have all the information they could possibly want at their fingertips and the desire to spend hours upon hours looking through it all tend to massively overestimate how much the average historical fighting man actually knew about his equipment.

humans are boring nuff said
>>97266615>Humans are the ultimate la creatura>That's why they can rape everything and make their offspring half-human, forever connecting their bloodline with mutt human dnaBueno
>>97246374This is always meaningless and reductive. You can easily say humans are just uppity self important shaved apes and not much else in reality. You can then go on and on about how special humans are, but deep down it's just monkey shit dialed up. In the end, it is nothing but goalpost moving and posturing.Every sapient species is going to inevitably share common traits. Or do you throw a fit too somehow, that most animals have sex? Most living beings have eyes and limbs? If something not human dies when it is injured enough is that also ripping off humans then?

>>97268332A lot of higher CR "creatures" are smarter than 99% of NPCs. Most demons, devils, a lot of aberrations and so on. >Besides, DMs who thrown NPCs with WBL at their players will be screwed when the players win and just take all that WBL for themselves from a single encounter.To be fair I have personal bias, our DM was in the "as long as it makes sense it goes" camp. So we got shit like if we got into a ambush it wouldn't be 2-3 guys, no, it would be fucking 12 orcs with bows and spears. At level 1. And if you gave NPC/monsters time to prepare? They actually would prepare for you as much as they can. Getting their magical items was a minimum requirement to survive.
>>97268332>>97270111I mean NPC WBL is lower than players so it's not THAT bad. And they'll have some of it in expendable items that they may use a few charges of in the fight.
>>97263659I love how ITT anons live and die by the FAQ/Erata when it says things they agree with and denounce/ignore the FAQ when it doesn't. Yes yes I know probably different anons. Probably.
>>97269066if they dont barter they have a fixed price decrease based on the merchant's disposition against the party. Hostile pays 10-15% of the price, unfriendly 30%, indifferent 50%, friendly 70%, and helpful 90%. This is based on most merchants being indifferent and buying at 50% according to the base rules.If they barter it is usually around +-25% of the base price. merchant uses appraise and tries to undercut them and then an exchange of either knowledge local, bluff, or some other social skill ensues. This is for mundane items and not for magical items.
>>97270227>>97270111the supposed dnd loot economy is built out of expendables and a large part of the encounters are supposed to be non human and therefore not drop any loot besides some hard coin or valuables at their lair
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.
>>97266250I did exactly that thing because I didn't have anything of interest to say about the topic, and I like the questionsNone of the arguements present here were very interesting, and I see no reason not to post the 7 questionsUsing a thread filled with inane nonsense to engage in amusing nonsense shouldn't be a problem?
>>97267078Honestly also clicked out of pure boredom. I scrolled the thread not caring as random idiots shouted at each other. That question is the most "engaging" thing ITT.
D&D grew out of the wargaming scene. A lot of games from that era featured options for long running campaigns with primitive RPG mechanics while still remaining inherently adversarial. Like e.g. Circus Maximus was a racing game that allowed players to carry their chariot teams over from race to race while investing xp to improve their drivers, chariots and horses. Players were strongly encouraged to do things like wreck opposing chariots and run over one another's drivers to reset their opponents' progress. That was the gaming ecosystem that produced the first generation of dungeon masters. They simply took that mindset and carried it over to D&D and other RPGs.

>>97258193fuck I wish we had crossover games like this
>>97264219How does CRGE compare to Mythic GME2?
>>97266273The chance of rolling a 14 or lower on a D20 seven times in a row is approximately 8.24%.Here is the breakdown of the math: * Chance per roll: Rolling a 14 or lower on a D20 is a 14/20 chance, which is 70% (0.7). * Chance for 7 in a row: You multiply the probability by itself 7 times (0.7^7). In other terms: * Percentage: ~8.24% * Odds: Roughly 1 in 12.So while it is a streak, it is actually not statistically rare. It is about as likely as rolling a natural 1, 2, or 3 on a single d20 roll.
>>97267101I wouldn’t call Scarlet Heroes OSR per se, there’s no real threat of instant death or high lethality
Tried creating a campaign for Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate, and unfortunately, this one is a very bad game, despite the stellar reviews. His worst one I tried.The structure is way too uneven, the mechanics are half-assed, there's semblance of cool ideas and powers here but a bad mix of what you're supposed to randomly generate and what is already there. To make a proper campaign of this, you'd be required to use a lot of supplementary material from other assorted system-agnostic works.And then it has the classic problems that this guy's games all have have. The stupid natural 1 and natural 20 stuff being widely pervasive in every single element of the game doesn't make for good long-term campaigns and then there's a bunch of random tables where getting a 1 just kills you. A lot of this stuff is fun to read but worthless to actually engage with mechanically.This guy is spreading himself too thin. I don't have much faith for his extraction shooter game.Very disappointed.

I'm toying with the idea of making a Tamerlane-equivalent a Tiefling figure. Would that be appropriate?
>>97267934just play gamma world with them and tell them its dnd
So, I'm thinking of giving various races more Biblical-inspired and mythological origins, or at least that's something people belief in-universe. Let's see if it works:Humans: Children of SethElves: Children of LilithTieflings: Children of Cain.Wanderers of the Land of Nod. Bearers of the Mark of Cain.Aasimar: Children of the Nephalim. The descendants of the giant/heroes who ruled and tyrannized the world. Destroyed by the Flood.Dwarves: The Line of Tubal-Cain. Or Golems. Orcs: The Children of Ham or descendants of beast-men. I have to decide.Dragonborn: The Children of Leviathan.Does this work?
>>97270742Consider making Orcs the Children of Ishmael (the "wild donkey of a man" whose hand is against everyone) or, more mythologically, the Descendants of Nimrod. Nimrod was a "mighty hunter" and the builder of the Tower of Babel; Orcs could be the remnants of the culture that tried to storm heaven and were "scattered and broken."
>>97270742How about? Halflings: Line of Abel. Gnomes: Line of Naamah (Tubal-Cain's sister)
