>>97219978>getting triggered by something all sane people consider blatantly obviousIsekai is slop for manchildren, how is this a surprise to you?
>>97221828Good. Don't make progress reports devolve into WIPposting though, it's bad for your soul
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?
>>97221102Is this less than ninety degrees? Because it's looking pretty a-cute.
>>97213989same could be asked of other species with respect to humans, since they(humans) in fact are the apex of the pest races
>>97213993Which one?
>>97214004>Consider: Why can't modern states exterminate the nazi populations within?Because they are cowards.
Who on Warth would want to exterminate this? Anyone who would is a monster.

>>97165346Based on >>97165495, what about water magic that isn’t just miniature waves or shooting ice spikes at someone? My best idea is ice/water constructs, like golems but made of H2O.
>>97220083controlling the water in peoples bodies to like explode their blood out of their orifices
>>97220083>what about water magicIce lenses for laser arrays. Pressure cutters. Steam explosions. Ice bombs. Δp. Ice floor. Ice mirror maze. Sinkholes/quicksand. Aquatic creature command. Mirages to create position offsets for attack/defense. Flooding the area to slow down attackers. Coating the area in a thin layer of water to track movement. Coating the area in a thin layer of water so you can vibrate the surface at different positions to create audio illusions. Skip bombing if we're combining it with projectiles. Multi-arms if we're combining it with weapons. Saturating the air around someone so they can't cool off with evaporative cooling and slowly cook to death for invisible assassinations. Being able to turn any vessel into an assassin's teapot with fluid manipulation. Super hard rain/hail. Acid rain. Blinding fog. Ultrafast rusting. Water jetpack for flight. Ice skates/skiis on ice/water+jet propulsion for high speed ground movement.Honestly what can't water do?
>>97165495Diamond armor. Obsidian blades. Obsidian mirror maze. Ruby laser focuses. Golems. The floor is lava. Sandstorms. Quicksand/sinkholes/fissures. Ultrafast erosion/compromising structures. Rapid construction. Tarpits. Hiding and releasing poison in porcelain/ceramic. Sandblasting to tear shit to shreds. Salt in all wounds. Mudslides. Pitfall traps. Floor spikes. Plant manipulation including symbiosis, poison, pheromones, medicine, and parasitism. Toxic gas releases. Extra rock arms. Earthquakes. Sound detection/manipulation/amplification by vibrating or shaping the earth. Nukes, lmao.
>>97165495>>97221769Oh, and marbles.

>>97220919They did a decent job of hightlighting him as part of the League of Malevolence in 5E in the Witchlight adventure. He's a toy figure that never gained any popularity in the 1980s, how much can you expect of him? >cool Horned Society reference though

>>97221567When did they add that?
>>97221591Sometime after 2013's 4th printing and before 2019's errata v5.1, so probably the 5th printing in 2018.
>>97221591>>97221664Sometime after the first print, but by the fourth. Errata v4.4 lists:"Movement Restrictions: Whether or not the battle armor is equipped with magnetic clamps, no vehicle may expend UMU, VTOL, WiGE or Jumping MP while carrying mechanized battle armor, and no ’Mech may expend UMU MP."This was changed to the text I posted here >>97221567 in the 10th printing. (That's likely why it ISN'T in CI, as that box released before the 10th print, and never got errata'd.
The only way Battle Armor can move underwater is with UMUs, right?
>>97221711They can move under water just fine.Just not fast, so they count as out of the game for the couple minutes a combat encounter lasts.

>>97218151Hollow men and su-jian are also HI. The cutoff is that human-sized REMs or remotely piloted suits of armor are HI, which is also why the zond is a REM and not HI as it's not a suit of armor, despite transforming like the su-jian
>>97220278Also K2 Auxiliars(though it's the weeniest HI out there)
>>97220106>Excellent fighters?>No! Wound Incapacitation!
>>97218151Because stats. They wanted to stress it's a combat-oriented model, without the penalty to dodge and other shit associated with REM classification.

Didn't the Alien RPG actually have you analyzing and exploring planets and doing actual miner work like in Outland 1981?
>>97203181All the information in the world cannot help a tiny mind that cannot contain it. Maybe you need cartoons to keep yourself entertained
Anyone here could spruce it up a little. Most of the info is barely 2 pages long at the beginning, middle and towards the end, excluding the little story that's just the same thing at the middle but in a much longer story format and not that good, I much prefer the raw info.
I roll d20 to wear the perfect organisms' skin like armour. If above 10 I wear it succesfully, if below 10 I get raped by it, if 20 I get to fuck the suit.

>>97221761if you don't care about the hoppy aspect then just play on TTS>>97221766poorfags need not apply
>>97221777I care about the hobby aspectI don't care about your perceived greater fun paying 200 bucks to paint a mini over paying 2 bucks to paint a miniIn my opinion, you are being insane and copingThat's why I ask about actual gameplay time
>>97221810go play it in TTS little nigga and decide for you are self like a grown up boy
>>97221824welp, I may try that then, thanksJust to see how it's likeBut I still hold that you coping if you think paying 200 bucks to paint a mini is more fun than paying 2 bucks
>>97221654you just miss black friday where everything gets great discounts but yeah the game is expensive, its a full time hobby.
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.
>>97219469>Here is my dumbest take on the subject, now shower me with (You)sIndeed, top quality thread it is
>>97219487I means nothing.It's an argument starter about a total non-issue.
>>97220563>I always like having the moon be damaged and falling apart.How do you feel about no moon at all? When I've searched online for what other people think of the idea, it was often met with genuine confusion as to why anyone would do that. Some thought it was fine. I was really surprised by a lot of people's gut reaction being quite negative.As for why, I just want the nights in my games to be really fucking dark. That, and it fits with the MO of a lot of the rest of the world, including its ecology.Also what the fuck is this new captcha, jesus fucking christ.
>>97221736You're a salty fucking thing, aren't you? The generals recycle the same damn content; the same discussions constantly repeated for years on end. So much so, I wonder if there's a human voice save for the jannies running a business ad. Not that you would admit it, if you even could.
>What elements would you include?Lighting, Ice, Void, and Metal.
Alright, if NOT 5e, what should be babby's first tabletop in 2025+1?
>>97221283>homosexual projecting his fetishes on strangers
>>97219177NTA but this is honestly how I feel about DnD (5e exclusively): it's too complex to be a simple game and too simple to be a complex game. With some of the rules it feels like they want to be a proper wargame, and with other things they really lean into the "storytelling first" philosophy.
>>97221795Translation:>I am highly contrarian and dislike the idea of agreeing with a majority of people, so I will seek out something to dislike even if I'm contradicting myself.
>>97219177Both.
Dedicated Drizzt Do'Urden EditionDiscuss and post elves. Elf lore, gameplay, and art are all appreciated.QOTT: What drove you to elves specifically?
>>97221248WoW would go on to ruin them but I still like WC3's seven-foot tall grape-flavored savage amazon elfs.
>>97221475It's a worthwhile sacrifice
>>97163705Meanwhile the pseud who wrote this wall of garbage nobody reads and the fags that screen cap/post it look like this irl
>>97200255Depends what your definition of prude means, but the ideal elven characterization when it comes to their sensuality is that: elves understand and readily accept they are the most physically attractive race and they take pride in their beauty. Flowers, sunsets, and rainbows don't hide themselves away behind layers and neither do elves - but elves also aren't rampant exhibitionists since they aren't whores and won't show just anyone the goods. Light elves would wear form fitting and thin clothes that show off a lot of skin but ultimately would leave everything but the curves up to the viewer's imagination. Dark elves would show more skin but they too would keep covered up since they're not common street walkers to be oogled at by their lessers. IRL examples would be women who wear yoga pants and tank tops to the gym (light elves) vs women who wear spandex shorts and sports bras (dark elves). You basically already know what their bodies look like but there's enough left covered up.
>>97217575No but its common in fantasyslop that there is no real difference between fantasy races beyond superficial features. Unfortunately 99.99% of post-1991 fantasy is fantasyslop including whatever garbage you're consuming.

I seriously cannot even begin to care about proshitters in this clown game
>>97221040I'd care a little bit if there wasn't rampant cheating in every single paper tournament. Arena is the future of the game.
>>97200112Are we playing the same game? People run this in ugin decks and I see it pretty often.
>>97220149I mean it's only been around for 2 years, but with the recent influx of cards from cube and bonus sheets it looks like it's going to start being better supported.I mean I don't really care much about it from an aspect of competitive viability or a healthy scene, but it's a lot of fun and I'm glad to see it growing.
>>97221756I'm so glad they do so, 100 rares + 100 mythics crafts the entire format due not that many cards being viable. And they stick forever, somehow an insane budget format. Unlike Standard eating 40 rares every 3 months.
How do we fix Steampunk?
>>97207230>If it's forgotten then it ain't tradition.What are you on about? Do you also believe that if culture is forgotten then it isn't a culture? What about language, or art?
>>97219174If referencing and drawing inspiration counts as ripping things off, then yes, an AI can only rip things off, but by that logic, the same should be said of human beings. Art is built atop art.
>>97221835Tradition is by definition a living thing. It is cultural continuation, the passing down of cultural elements from one generation to the next. If such continuation doesn't exists anymore then we are not talking about tradition. We are talking about history.
>>97217321>go pray to Harry Potter, plebbitI pray to Odin. The true god-wizard.
>>97196423>>97196434Whereas cyberpunk was an aesthetic but also a social commentary on unrestrained hedonism/corporate greed and the consequences thereof, steampunk is just an aesthetic, which is why it's so hollow and why it mostly appeals to cosplayers. There's no substance so it's nebulous and vague, which makes it easier to get into but less poignant.>tl;dr it's shallow

Finally saw this, it was basically the prequels if they were actually good
