looking for the final version of 13th Age 2e, thanks
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.
>>97234943Even the absolute mess that was 7th, it was pretty modular and you could ignore most of it.And still you didn't get surprised outside of what a unit already had in their unit description.
>>97226259I would be down to have a gander at this
>>971861088th wasn't the best but it was the last edition worth playing. The accompanying edition of Kill Team that used a lot of its core rules and datasheets was nice for the sake of homebrew and modularity as well.
>>97223256That's why I said dial back the bullshit.
>>97186108It was the last time 40k was actually funIt was a long needed refresh especially after the clusterfuck 6th and 7th had become but it created a trend of dumbifying the game and making it all catered towards the "competitive" gameplayIt was the middle ground in between 40k falling into two extremes>6th-7th where the entire game revolved around cheesing the fuck out of it>9th-10th where the entire game revolves around buying the strongest list in the current meta that shifts every other monthMy younger brother and I still occasionally play it to this day

>In the game Werewolf: The Apocalypse, the Garou (werewolves) were made to defend the earth from the cosmic forces that threaten to tear it apart. The Garou fight against the Wyrm, the destroyer. It is a struggle against nearly insurmountable odds, especially considering the rivalry between many tribes. These rivalries make it almost impossible for the werewolves to present a unified front against a cosmic force that pervades reality.>From this morass of hatred and mutual betrayal, there is little hope that the Garou can emerge triumphant against a foe so well armed as the Wyrm. The Wyrm promises money, power, sex, and whatever else the heart desires to its followers while the Garou receive no reward for their striving. It drives them deeper and deeper into despair, or into betrayal so deep that they choose to serve the Wyrm instead.Main Rulebooks:>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Rulebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Rulebook>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Second Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Second_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Revised Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Revised_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_20th_Anniversary_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition Corebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_5th_Edition_CorebookComment too long.

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.

>>97237011Interesting info, anon. Now I hope we get Argos as a base of operation for sloth warbands. They start acting when they get around it.
>>97238545get around to it.*
>>97237344Sorry anon, as the other guy in the thread who got his order from them, they are at least responsive. I wouldn't bet on getting any kind of response today but probably tomorrow when a skeleton crew gets back to the office. I put in my ticket on a Saturday and they response in an hour
>>97237011Or maybe they were so devout compared to everyone in the area God chose to save them so that they would not suffer?
>>97238316Depends, if your definition of 'dreadful and sweaty' means respecting the setting or not.If you make some homebrewed faction/warband/rules, and they're made with respect to the themes/setting/existing rules, and you're being genuine with it, you're golden to make the Pit version of the Dirlewanger brigade.I made a TC warband based around pregnant stigmatic nuns, no one's criticized it yet.If you make a Pony/Steven Universe warband, you will be laughed at and sidelined. Same as a pinup warband, or a thinly veiled vessel for a political message everyone knows is bullshit when spoken honestly warband.Tuomas himself highly encourages altering the rules for fun, and /yourdudes/ are a staple, but you can't avoid the court of public opinion.

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.
a lot of the tips in picrel are neat, but they make me realise how much i hate 5E as a system. all these little hacks are things you just don't NEED in a better ruleset.one of the tips is something like>if the players are finding the dungeon too easy, put eight goblins in the next room instead of five, or add in a goblin warlord.and that's the kind of d20 shovelware shit i've always hated. punish the players for finding solutions. YOU know what's fun: put an anti-magic field on that locked door so the wizard can't just use a knock spell.i don't want a game world that 'cares' about me. fuck your quantum ogre, just draw a map and place things on that map.
>>97232374>>97232573>Yeah but almost all TTRPG YouTube slop is like this. Its some catchy title and the advice is the most obvious low effort shit imaginable. Nothing insightful or original is said. Ever.>>97232378>And that was it. 30 minutes that amount toI have no idea who that is however.....2025 YoutubersLook youtue is literally a retarded money extraction scam at this point1) Take 1 subject2) Take 1 point in this subject that you can say in 5 -10 minutes3) SOMEHOW MAGICALLY stretch your video where you explain a 8 minute point into 1h!!!!!!1111ONE!4) Include all the usual suspects>Long pauses>Not speaking for 1 minuteComment too long.

It's a shame this thread is made by some subhuman shitposter because there is a point here that I agree with. GMing, in a sense, is a talent. Not everyone can do it. Sure, it's also a skill that can be honed, but you need a certain baseline of capability to start GMing at all. I'm not entirely sure what that talent consists of, though I think atleast 50% of it is being intelligent. If you are stupid, chances are you're a shit GM. But then again, I also know some smart people who make for dreadful GMs, albeit for different reasons.
>>97232339So wait, /tg/ has MULTIPLE mod-protected redditors spamming the board?
>>97238028>You're telling a story together and everything the GM does should be in service of a more interesting storyMore to the point, it's more realistic. If the guy who's plans you've foiled all game crits you and the crit table makes him beef it it's lame. Inb4 "just decide what he does you're the GM!": No. I'm not deciding every little interaction. I'm here to roll dice and tables too, so whoever says this can stuff this line so far up their ass they burp its flavor.>>97235121Btw dramatic rerolls and improv mechanics are literally the two advantages TTRPG has over video games. If I wanted to play a fun world where anything could happen with my friends and it have near perfect rules, I could easily find a minecraft modpack that fits the bill. Or just play Terraria again.

TTRPGs are a social game first and foremost. That means there's unspoken rules that vary from group-to-group, but a common one is "acceptable breaks from sensibility" in the name of game experience or table cohesion. It's the kind of thing that keeps the bitter rivalry between the Elf and the Dwarf largely to amusing banter and not outright PvP. It's an innate instinct: nobody likes to spoil the atmosphere, because that's a large part of the appeal of a good game (alongside the freedom).That being said, there are also times when the group's course of action is patently retarded and you can't meaningfully push back on it without feeling like you'd cause a big fight over nothing (and then feel obligated to keep comrades away from the consequences), or something a character cannot abide has to be "sanded over" somewhat, or you as the GM don't want to cultivate the feeling that you're antagonizing your players by hitting them over the head with "you murdered someone because it was convenient and didn't even take measures to cover your tracks" or whatever unhinged misadventure occurred because something about the player position of the table cause human beings to lose IQ. Have you ever had that feeling? I think I see enough greentexts to think it's common.
>>97236850>As the players try to leave the tavern and exit the door they find themselves surprised to see the same exact scene before. Try as they might no matter how many times they go through the door the same sight stands before them and the Wizard stares at them.
>>97237225That's just railroading unless being trapped in the bar and finding a way out is the puzzle.
>>97238503You're right. The wizard definitely cannot have any agency or make decisions which influence the players. This situation is definitely railroading and not a consequence of the PCs actions. Nothing in the game should be able to take actions which affect the players without the PCs consent. How silly of me. Thank you for the correction, anon. I shall mend my ways forthwith.
>>97228087>How often do you feel you have to cater to party retardation?Depends on the group, when I play with retards it's only 80% of the time.If I played with better people I think we could get that down to a 20-30%, even if the party was made entirely of perfect players I don't think that number would be a zero, we're all retarded sometimes, even the Ref.>I think I see enough greentexts to think it's common.Two errors with this by the way, greentexts as a concept are innately exceptional stories, no one wants to read or remembers the vast majority of sessions, because most go normally & even the majority of good or bad ones aren't to the level of good or bad that a greentext post needs to be. Most are highly specialised to that group of individuals too, it's the result of multiple sessions of build up.The other problem is that you think most greentexts are real.

>>97238359You're ignoring the part where there is a check to actively turn people into fans.
>>97238359Outside of combat you may make a fan of anyone you meet that does not have a negative impression of you with a DV 8 check. This, by definition, means that the odds of getting someone you've just met (that isn't specifically excluded from being a fan) to do you a favor at Rank 4 is 36%.Surprising no one, your impression of Post Malone is bad and thus you cannot be made a fan. Congratulations, you're a perfect model of a Cyberpunk RED NPC.
>>97238396Which requires you to get the ability up to atleast 7 to reliably do so. If not it's another barrier to the Rockerboy being useful, having to pass two checks to convince someone to do something. Thing is I'm not arguing that Charismatic impact doesn't have it's uses and can't be strong, just that the Rockerboy needs more abilities since it's sole ability has alot of overlap with regular Social skills that are much cheaper and designed for the same kind of narrative encounters Charismatic Impact is meant to solve.
>>97238359Did you mean to quote my post here >>97237098 ?If so, then the reason why is obvious: to make the 3x skill worth the investment.A lucky crit on Persuasion could convince an NPC to help YOUR suicidal charge by f.e. leaving a door open or doing something distracting and safe elsewhere, but it took Charismstic Impact for the NPC to join or sacrifice themselves.I know one can argue about it, but fortunately nobody in the playgroup questioned that ruling because it's just an obvious conclusion.Another thing CI did that Persuasion couldn't was to use "small group" DVs to "presummon" NPCs on the location before the action started.
>>97238680Okay, but it's not just that it's a 3x skill, it's a 3x skill that has to be raised to atleast 6-7 to start being useful. Why can't Rockerboys have another ability to fill the void before they hit that cap?I don't think having any of the Roles having a singular ability is good design. There's alot of disparity between Roles in general. I think having Multiple abilities adds alot of utility and there's clear developer favoritism towards the Tech in particular.

>>97237596It's basically the late war variant of the same U-Boot type. The main difference is the removal of the main deck gun (since they usually didn't do surface attacks by that time anymore), an enlarged turret platform to support additional AA guns and the addition of a snorkel to give the boats prolonged underwater time. also, there are some radar devices on the tower that early ones don't have. However, not all boats were refitted, many remained early versions until the end.They also had a special minelayer version and an experimental, but unsucessful variant meant to be an "aircraft trap" with even more guns.But anyway, as i said it's a nice kit and i'm sure Anon will have fun building it.
