>>96461835That doesn't sound very radical.>>96461849
>>96461863Did they overcharge the fixed rate of the HPG pulse or all the fees and secondary services? Did they ask for 2 c-bills for a short message one station out?
>>96461872I don't know the details, just that they did it.
fire falcon!
>>96461878Well, the C-bill is fixed to the standard price for a standard transmission, any other services don't have permanently fixed prices and nobody would really notice if their prices were off since they're "market price" in the first place. If the standard transmission cost went up, that's something people would notice, because that would directly inflate the C-bill. Maybe if they were using dark banking wizardry to take .001 C-cent off the top without it actually showing up on accounts or something, but that's not going to fund much even if you're getting thousands of transactions a day. Much easier to just change the price of the lattes on the lobby cafe sign and assign new transaction fees where company policy doesn't include them.
Rokugan is saved /tg/.
Just got the Children of the Five Winds. Pretty okay, better than the shit in Writ of the Wilds.Super Natural Encounters are pretty good addition, and does represent the inhuman aspect of these beings when you fuck up etiquette on them. Meishido is also pretty good.Kinda sucks that they're still focusing on Non-Rokugani schools, and they're still kinda unimaginative. I can't really see their uniqueness or flavour unlike the earlier schools in Path of Waves.Plus side I really like the elemental gimmick for Kitsune Naturalist. It kinda sucks for a master ability, but I do like how you have to rotate your stances to represent seasons changing. One more book left and hopefully we have enough fa/tg/uys working on it to reverse engineer the system.
>>96460770Fuck l5r. Let it die. AEG was a shit company full of assholes.
>>96461348AEG had some good blood, but I generally agree.L5R should be a memory.....especially with the chinese in charge of a mainly japanese game....I can't offer more, but I am planning on making the next samurai fantasy game.

>>96461509>what does she doMostly run at people for hand-to-hand combat, though some are capable of creating an energy bubble that slows down anything passing through it in order to support other Invem (though this is a concentration ability).>what is her attitudeThey have a chipper and clingy demeanor, but, like most Invem lifeforms, they only have animalistic intelligence.If offered as a companion, it'd be an unusually intelligent specimen, and it'd have... interesting implications for the setting, since they're created by a series of events that Jumper is capable of preventing.Also, she's technically a nugget, since the slime-arms are disconnected from the main body and the legs are cybernetic

>>96458379>Yes, i know, now shut the fuck up.No
>>96458379no, it really needs neither that shit nor yo fag ass
>>96457151>You'd still need to answer the question of whether or not the BFF-1 containers are detachable from the drive section. It seems like they should be, but I think X-Wing implied otherwise.X-wing didn't say anything about it, but the ship is seen with four Type A containers every time it appears. i'd say there is an airlock to climb into the containers for exactly the reasons you mention.>I was always unclear about whether the BFF-1 was a properly engineered ship or something a second-tier manufacturer built from recycled parts that ended up being a big success despite that.I decided that this freighter was more like the IRL 'class' of Panamax ships. Built by various shipyards across the galaxy, with varioous reactors, engines, etc., but to a standardized set oof docking ports and dimennsions.If you get one of those, you will be able to carry 4 containers around, fit into berths of a known size etc.But you may have wildy different types of reactors, thrusters, navcomps, cockpit layout, etc.I came up with this because my group wanted to fly in on something inconspicuous to blend in, but ended up on the 'oh no the city is full lof riots and fire' end of the inconspicuously blending in spectrum on the way out.So they ran up the ramp of 'their' freighter, only to find out that the HowalWorks ship they had flown in on was very different from the Dawon Heavy Industries one they were to leave with.
Is there any mechanical difference between Edge of the Empire and Age of Rebellion?
>>96461774not particularly. there's the Duty/Obligation mechanic, and some equipment has slightly different rarities and costs depending on if you're running strictly only material from one set to the other, but races, classes, and talents are all cross compatible
What's the problem with having a combat wheelchair in your d&d games? It's fantasy, after all.
>>96438839It just does, chud. Check your privilege.
>>96437497I'd let that player have the chair. He earned it.
>>96438796Is there any reason not to use a combat wheelchair, even if you're not a cripple? It just seems like it's so good that you'd be stupid not to.

Why does the art look like it's AI generated?
>>96461757because AI art steals its style from other places
>>96461757Because you've been buckbroken by slop.
>>96461757it is. the flag in the spidermanUK card is so obviously AI generated I feel sorry for anyone that thinks that shit was made by a human. zoom in on the details, the scale is off, the cars have no rearview mirrors, its ambiguous which direction some of the cars are facing, theres a left turn guideline paint that leads to nothing. Everything about the card just feels off.
The only acceptable magic element are Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Aether.These elements have been a staple for thousands of years across every civilization in history.From the americas to Europe to Asia. Using anything else stupid.
>>96451809What exactly IS “Heart” in this context? I never really watched the show.
>>96455172Empathy, cooperation and spiritual connection to nature. It gave the power to communicate with animals but not control. I recall one episode they're all in the ocean and Mati (kid with Heart) tries to talk a shark into helping. The shark understands the situation but is still hungry so he's gonna eat them anyway.
>>96446457>you can't round out the fundamental components of the universe with an all-encompassing aspect
>>96457331>part of the whole is also the whole
>>96455544>The shark understands the situation but is still hungry so he's gonna eat them anyway.I thought that sharks rarely attack humans? Was it just a jerk?

So I'm making my setting for my Beyond the Wall game, and I'm just curious what do you guys use for inspiration. Myself, lots of Conan, Tolkien (not dunedain, rohirim, the orcs) Dominion 6 (my principal inspiration at the moment), lots of real world folklore, tales and stuff (like the Narts, Spanish folklore, Tibetan bon) and this or that stuff of different books (I love tribal stuff and making tribes inspired in different stuff, like I have a tribe of skinners than wear the pels of the Tribe of the wolf,wich are locked in cosntant war in the not-siberia). But what about you guys, what are you using? Anyone has a good recomendation for tribal stuff, or resources to make a city-state/tribe/village adventures?
>>96455327Dominions Ctis, if you like Lizard egiptians.
>>96455327Unironically the movie Gods of Egypt.

>>96398357I've been advocating for scrapping the Mu invasion (a Mu raid could work maybe). Like why are we even adding the empire of Japan into the game if we're going to cripple it and make it sit on the cuck island instead of doing their rapid modernization and shit. But I don't like anything you propose in place of Satsuma, because of how severely it lacks with the same kind of pizzas as a bunch of angry amurais getting Isekaied into Agartha like an anime parody of Paris and because it creates the messy Franco-Italian-Japanese overlap.Satsuma, while it's kinda tight on the timeline, has the samurai aesthetic going for it and I kinda liked the idea of the Empire reconciling with them by letting them have their autonomous frontier samurai paradise underground.But if you do want to scrap Satsuma and just give Japan an entrance - fine, but if you insist on keeping things simple, why not just give them one damn entrance and call it a day?>>96399094>One thing I really do not want to erase from the game is the possibility of Agartha spilling forth on the Surface howeverAgartha already did a shitton of spilling, that was my point. And every instance of it except for Mu has something going for it that makes it worth it in my eyes. Lemurian India works. skeleton Ottomans have to kinda warp reality around themselves but they work aesthetically/thematically, HyperTaiping is laying it on a bit thick, but even it has some redeeming quality. Mu Hokkaido is just lolrandum. Like, all of the ideas are lolrandum initially, but I just don't see the "potential" (meet the potential lore,jpg) that some people insist it has. Even Mu Hawaii that I don't particularly like, still has a kind of vibe to it.
>>96457349I still don't see the issue with the Mu takeover of Hokkaido. The thing is, Japan would struggle with keeping control over the island after a successful Mu raid, at the time of the attack Hokkaido was not that well settled by Japan anyway, and something like this could make the ainu move closer to New Mu, even if only a handful of tribes do so. And if it's an attack small enough to allow Japan to keep their control, it could led to a "Long March to New Mu" situation, but much bigger, and I don’t think Japan would have the resources to a full on invasion of the underground (plus would clash with the satsuma lore, and besides, it would be somewhat redundant). But if Japan loses the island to New Mu/ainu coalition, that could motivate them further to modernize, to one day retake their island and defend it from the New Mu (while at the same time creating a dilema with the Satsuma, who don't want to attack the Mu because they are still settling in). >Mu Hokkaido is just lolrandum. Like, all of the ideas are lolrandum initially, but I just don't see the "potential"So if we could somehow fit together the Mu with Hokkaido somehow, would that solve the issue?
Watched The Time Machine (2002) this evening while painting.Pretty good film. Their version of Morlocks are what we could consider Neanderthals, or maybe devolved deepfolks. Is there a clear divide? Lot of rough patches and points where it feels like they jumped ahead a few scenes, but I liked the time travel effects.Did we ever get any version of the Eloi rules put down in a book?
>>96452189Just finished it tonight after about two months of brief on and off reading every few nights. Very well done!I like that Wilhelm is characterized so that you can see him eventually kicking the Great War hornet's nest OTL before all of his adventures really sink in. And that was a no-notes perfection representation of how I've imagined Morlocks too.

im getting in a tournament at my locals, what can i add to get it bettermost of them play royal knights, omnimon nokia,and some sakuya, diaboro and gallantmon and im trying to counter them with armageddemon bt5 and 21 scatters to look for italso any tips
>>964612411v1 me. If you win, you're ready for locals. If you lose, you have to start over your training.
>>96461241Most Abbadomon decks I've seen run like 12-14 Scatter Modes, the full playsets of SoundBirdmon and Eyesmon, and some Trainings/Memory Boosts. Armageddemon hasn't seen play anywhere in years so I'm baffled as to why you included it. I don't like Zenith or Cyberdramon either. You can run some other level 6 Aces since Black pretty much has the best selection of them, but Darkdramon is fine if that's all you want to play. If you do run more I suggest Laplace's Demon and/or EX5 Etemon.
>>96460322How the fuck
>>96461566>Armageddemon hasn't seen play anywhere in yearsIdk why you’d run it in anything that’s not diaboromon but it does completely cuck Omnimon.
