What is your favorite Hive City and why? You can include homebrew ones.
>>
>>96470481
Vervunhive is a hive city that doesn't go up, rather it's just a huge metropolis with a voidshield over the top and curtain walls at the edges. I just like how different it is, this metropolis sprawl that's just nearly as dense as a normal hive city just going out instead of in.

And unlike necromunda there's no SURPRISE GENESTEALERS.

In my games there are as many niggers and jews, as there are pariahs in 40k. Slightly more gooks and latinos though.
Seems consistent with the frequency of portrayals.

that's not the point- people were insistent "bandai locked all card draw to blue/white so every other color will always be bad" when that's clearly not true

>>96470761
blue is the card draw colour, effects aren't exclusive to colours but you pay a heavy "tax" to get those effects (white discarding cards on draw is supposed to be a downside)

as the power creeps blue will just passively draws a billion cards and have unmatched consistency, purple mills its entire deck and can grab back whatever piece it needs as it pleases
OP and digimon have already been through it, people can see the writing on the wall

That flag is inexcusable. I don't care at this point though, the playerbase deserves it for putting up with WOTCs practices for so long, and kudos to the artists squeezing out a few last paycheques before WOTC goes full open AI by using AI themselves.
>>
>>96465681
>>
>>96470756
I think that the flag is not AI, it's just deformed in photoshop or even a 3d program in a very weird way then photobashed. Maybe in a first draft it took to much real estate, and the artist decided, or the art director told him, to make it smaller. The background, mostly the vehicles, is just sloppy. With AI it would be far worse.

>>96470997
Early thirties dude here. If you're looking for a digital card game, Slay the Spire is miles above the rest. It's a deckbuilding game, which means you build the deck while playing. It's a very different game from MtG but it satisfies my cravings for card play.

Shadowrun 4/5/6e.

Agility
Body
Reaction
Strength

Charisma
Intuition
Logic
Willpower

Splits up Intelligence and Dexterity from being god stats, undoes the vagueness about Wisdom by splitting it between Willpower and Intuition. Also makes Luck (Edge) and Magic its own ability rating so that being intelligent or charismatic - two things that are already absurdly good in the setting - doesn't also give you wizard powers.

The modern internet zeitgeist is that AI art turns you evil and poopybadpoop and also literally ripping organs out of artists' chests, so... no. Even if they're retards, they're retards who'll badmouth your work and keep you from getting more people interested in your stuff.

Technically speaking, it was never not okay. Practically speaking, the benefits it'd get you isn't worth the cancellation. At least if you intend on selling it. If you're just making something for your friend group, nobody gives a shit.

The most important feature of a set of attributes is that they spell a word with their first letters. Like SPECIAL.
>>
>>96465923
>What attributes do your game use?
12, a sacred number, 4 physical, 4 mental and 4 special.
>How do you use them?
As base% for skills and a lot of derived stats. Abilities like magic are more affected by attributes: Mag for safe spell 'level cap' (can go beyond it but so do the consequences of failure) and damage, Cha for spell aoe/# targets, Per for spell range increments, Spi for fueling spells and spell defense, Int for spell repertoire and research, etc. Want to dodge? Use Agi. Want to parry? Use Dex. Want to block? Use Str. Ranged weapon skills use Dex+Per, bow# determines Str required to properly use it, Str also determines throw range. Want to move fast? You need Agi and Str. Want to do a lot on your turn? You need Dex and Int. Luk affects your crit rate, the ability to gamble against your odds and special defenses. Cha and App divided, high App will give benefits either if it's good or bad, Cha mostly for being social and that includes worship of gods and bargains with spirits. Int also for bonus skill points and faster learning.

>>
>>96470888
NTA, but both should go. But they won't do any of that because they want you to "omg i love raye, buy sky strikers."
>>
>>96470941
Both won't go because both don't need to go. Engage was at 2 for years-- 3 for the entirety of the last year-- and did nothing. The thing that shook that up is Lemnisgate giving them infinite recursion, which makes a much stronger argument for Lemnis either going to 1 or getting banned, and Engage *maybe* going back to 2 just to give it a little consistency nerf in non-Sky Striker decks.

The only objectively problematic card from Sky Striker right now is the card that's been at 1 for almost its entire lifetime in every format. Hornet Drones getting killed would be fine. Pure Sky Striker players wouldn't miss it, and Yummyfags that relied on it can cope and seeth as they add Ace Zero and Roze to their builds to do the exact same thing that Hornet Drones does.

I'll be running my first campaign as a DM soon. Can someone please explain sneak attacks? I remember a bunch of creatures being immune to them in 3rd/3.5th edition, which I've only experienced through video games. How does it work in 5th edition? My plans include a lot of constructs, elementals, and undead, which concerns me because one of the players is planning on bringing a rogue.

How do I run a campaign like that without accidentally screwing the rogue player over hard?

>Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack roll if you have Advantage on the roll and the attack uses a Finesse or Ranged weapon. The extra damage's type is the same as the weapon's type. You don't need Advantage on the attack roll if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the target, the ally doesn’t have the Incapacitated condition, and you don’t have Disadvantage on the attack roll. The extra damage increases as you gain Rogue levels, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table.
Nothing is really immune to sneak attacks anymore.

you trigger a sneak attack as long as you have advantage on a target
or, for melee attacks, if there is a friendly creature next to it when you attack
so no more "you cant backstab a slime because it has no back" moments

Okay, so there's no sweeping rule like "gray oozes are immune to sneak attacks because they have no vital organs to stab" or anything along those lines, if I understand correctly? Thanks.
