>>96451137>>96451086Anyone who actually needs COMP//CON to handle their rolls and bookkeeping for them should've just played a videogame instead of a TTRPG in the first placeIt's a really pretty and nicely organized bit of software but I was all but done with building my character and mapping out my first 3 LLs (complex powergamey per-level talent/license swaps included) before I cracked it open in my first ever campagin
>>96444624If you're still around I am interested. Missed your post the first time around
>>96461941I dunno why people freak out over the discord like they don't have an entire page in the book ranting about how playing the game itself is inherently antifacist action, it's designed from the bottom-up to promote gay communism, and that they apologize for being unfortunately white, straight, and not retarded.They say outright, the game was made to "help people fight back". Not to be fun or anything silly like that lol"in solidarity" fucking christ. This isn't even a game, it's a communist daycare center with gay robots.
>>96462094It's set in the diaspora, predominantly in a colony I named Sterling, as you can see on the hex map overview I created here >>96444624The basic summary is: After Seccom collapsed, there were a bunch of holdover revolutionaries and random nobodies looking for work that IPS-N were keeping track of, as well as leftover colonists from a failed settlement they still had tabs on. Northstar decided to hedge their bets and think long term - they rounded them all up together and gave them an opportunity to colonize a valuable new earth-like planet they found far out there, sent a colony package with them and basically told them "Alright, you'll be on your own and in exchange for your own independent colony we get dibs on economic development in the system you'l be living in. We'll come back in a century or two, hope to see you making good development progress. Good luck!" While the corporate was handling internal affairs in the upheaval aftermath of Seccom.It's been a couple decades since then and they've established themselves, but the planet turned out to be really harsh: If it's name "Tempest" didn't give it away it's got quite the active weather systems, and even without that the wildlife is quite nasty and belligerent on average too. Thus, it's been slow going in terms of development, but progress is still happening, albeit slowly.Unfortunately, there's numerous other problems besides tempest herself: there's rumors of pirates lurking in the system, as well as a growing disgruntling in the colony. See, the two distinct factions: union revolutionaries and the original colonists don't exactly see eye to eye when it comes to independence, governance, community and whatnot, and a hefty amount of unrest is brewing. It's not gotten hot just yet, but a spark might cause things to start igniting.That about does it, anything you want me to elaborate on or give feedback for?
>>96462232I spent an entire childhood reading alt-sci-fi from 50+ years of literature where even having a functioning body or mind wasn't a necessary prerequisite to inclusion, I guess. Where utopia was taken for granted (or not) and entire several hundred page novels would be dedicated to exploring how someone might transcend the limits of the human form to more fully express themselves, cast off- Not "fight back" the eternal fucking FIGHT in these people -cast off gender norms or disability or human limits. Autist savants and multi-minds and full-body cripples and extreme PTSD survivors. Exploring new stars, fighting the good fight here in our own solar system, dealing with the complex calculus of possibly being the last possible living human colony and sharing a planet with giant moths whose lifecycle includes an existence as an omnivorous horde of unstoppable brainless truck sized murder slugs. I grew up fully ready to accept any damn fucking configuration of race, color, creed, capability, ability and preference imaginable.Those fucking FAGGOT GHOULS are wearing the skin of my fucking revolutionary scifi fantasy childhood with their militant (in)tolerance, clique bullshit, special snowflake cold war intersectionality victim contest- Every player I interacted with in a semi-private setting on that server turned out to be some kind of sex pest flayed one trans-enby nerd.So forgive me, if you would. I thought that page meant we should be empathetic and thoughtful and strive for a brighter future.Not compete in the queer-lympics to see who can be more marginal and get more attention and sympathy.The told me the world was a cold and cruel place, and I thought I was ready to be the shining light in that darkness- I never knew the world was gonna be this fake and gay, too

How many CYOA authors are using AI art these days? It seems like it's harder and harder to search for art that isn't AI in the first place, so, you might as well make your own, right?
>>96459700>As you can see, all of these WAIFUSYou fucking cuck, don't ever reply to my post again
>>96460221You can use AI art to make no cyoa no problem, BUT, generating is often as long as searching for right pics and often more annoying. Stealing is still faster, though you steal AI sometimes.
>>96460221
>>96460221There's not really a point, and I find it hard to actually generate anything good. The internet is saturated with a few decades worth of art to pick from.

>>96462073the Crossbow Expert feat mention both so noAnyway, any ideas on the rest?
>>96462109The light crossbow doesn't have the Light property. Ignoring Loading and Firing in Melee work with all crossbows, but Dual Wielding only benefits hand crossbows. You want hand crossbows (plural) or a heavy crossbow (singular). Light crossbow is what a character uses if they're not good at crossbowing.Your gloomstalker is fine and functional and hits the main points. Get dex to 20 with ASI or two more half feats.Dex Fighter is probably the best ranged weapon user, but not by so much that you shouldn't play a ranger if you want to. Fighter gets the most from Great Weapon Master with longbow/heavy xbow (Crossbow Expert feat tax) to boost damage output, though Dreadful Strike and spells help the gloom stalker up keep with the extra attacks the fighter gets.
>>96462218Sounds good, I'll stick with the Gloom Stalker if the damage difference isn't too bigWhat do you think of Hunter, better or worse than the Gloom Stalker with ranged weapons? oh it depends on the situation
>>96462064Goose.
As a 2024 5e human fighter, do I use my second origin feat to get Magic Initiate (Cleric) so I can cast Bless once a long rest, Magic Initiate (Mage) so I can cast Shield once a long rest, or Magic Initiate (Druid) so I can cast Goodberry once a long rest?Bear in mind that druid spell list does not include Light cantrip so you're still stuck on relying on teammates or carrying torches or lanterns.

People bitching about -4 STR should realize it's actually pretty forgiving. Things could get so much worse.
>>96459065>According to articles I've read, woman are also better at resisting heat difference and have greater virus immunity (part of the protect the baby package).>>96460033>Women having a better immune system, which makes them less likely to die of parasitic and infectious diseases;This actually leads to insanely bad autoimmune problems. Women suffer from autoimmune problems at 4x the rate of men, POTS at x4 the rate of men, MCAS at 3x the rate of men, and EDS 2x the rate of men The capability to carry another growing life inside you comes with some really fucked up drawbacks.Tell the ladies in your life to get checked out for this shit, because a strikingly high number of them just accept that shit sucks and don't realize these are treatable conditions.
>>96458470>Int (they don't even make decent chess players)What does Chess show about IQ? It's a solved game with a very finite number of opening moves. Bobby Fisher himself said so.
>>96456131Children aren't weak just because of their size, and strength doesn't scale directly to height or body mass. If Halflings existed, a male adult Halfling would be substantially stronger than a human child of the same size. (though weaker than the -2 penalty issued by D&D)
>>96462223While I agree that chess performance isn't objectvie metric of general human intelligence, it's not a solved game and Bobby Fisher was deranged lunatic.
Why would you use a gantasy setting to punish an irl gender for being?Theres fucking goblinsand shit.Unless your setting has Futa who mog both men AND women in terms of ST(by a lot) why would you even think that hard into it.

>>96462254One could argue that Halloween is already saturated and ruined, so ruining it further isn't really possible. It exists in corporate awareness mainly as an excuse to sell candy, pre-fab costumes, and risque "costumes". This is just to jab the crowd that thinks there's a "War on Christmas" and thinks that Halloween is "Satanic". Because they have it coming.
I updated this Pentex Ferectoi picture! I improved her environment suit, and the designs of her fomori handler and Nephandi "teacher". I also refined the design of her centipede pet.
>>96462254You should be more nervous. Halloween is the only fit rival to Christmas, animatronic Santas would already be here if Halloween costumes weren't occupying the shelf space, so what is Christmas planning that's provoking Halloween like that?
>>96462273>so ruining it further isn't really possiblePeople said the same about anime. They were wrong.
>>96462254desu I haven't seen any "major" (i.e. Disney tier) corpos get in the Summerween trend.I've mostly seen: goth pool parties/luaus becoming popular and one independent goth musician drop a Summerween album this year.Plus three gacha games doing summer events about "summer vacation, but this time we have ghosts" this year for absolutely no reason.

>>96462106Surely you're familiar with Konosuba.
>>96462194I don't think it can be done. The bare necessities for saving and companioning the character I'd want already come to a total of 1350 CP without offering any guarantees or power and drawbacks in that jump are actually harsh.

Am I getting paid to save the hostages?
>>96462180depends on the setting.

bump
Is it okay to use AI yet?
>>96455278Dammit, that is hot
>>96462352At least use models trained on fantasy and rpg illustrators instead of this shit.
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.
>>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?
>>96457847Hologram principle. Shatter a hologram and, if the pieces are large enough, each would contain the whole image.Since you can't quite shatter reality itself, you single out a portion of the element from the whole, purging the other elements from it.>individual elements are all just facets of the all-encompassing "element"I'd argue said element should not be available to PCs, at least not without going to great length to acquire the means or knowledge of how to manipulate it.
>>96458509Good taste anon, also the objectively correct answer
>>96457852I do agree with that. The space yiffs get giant wolves they can ride on. Where are the cybernetically augmented giga-nigga horses with adamantine hooves to stomp the enemies of the imperium with?I know we have gimp horses with the mechanicus but there is plenty of room for more "living" mounts.
>>96457852>Something that makes you say "OH FUCK, THEY'RE THE HOWLING GRIFFONS!"That's the exact effect the quartered colour scheme has in the fantastically rare event of actually seeing an army of them in person.
>>96406719I've never liked swiching sides fags.
>>96406386My dudes.
Which is best:>Vampires are weak to crosses>Vampires are weak to any holy symbol>Vampires are not weak to holy stuff>Vampires are repelled by perpendicular lines, which crosses happen to look like
>>96455049Fucking literal retard consider the noose
>>96455291>because of your faith>only for the pure heartedthat's protestant shit (vanity), though it's better than jewish shit where you just have to be born into it. You're putting too much focus on the person being special, whereas with catholicism the point is nobody is special - everyone's shit and a sinner. In reaching for the cross in their time of need that is a tacit submission to God and a plea to his mercy, regardless of whoever that person was before. Even the person returning to sin after the fact isn't a barrier to that (frankly it's expected). >>96455515Where I see shintoism sorta overlap with vampires (aside from touhou of course, but let's ignore that) is the general central tenent of the separation of the divine or pure, mundane, and profane into their own specific spaces. And that lines up with a lot of the traditional "anti-vampire tech" out there, if not all of them. Stuff like being unable to cross running water, having to be invited into homes, even garlic as a ward - it's very easy to find parallels with that and Shinto traditions such as Shimenawa or Ofuda (or even like setsuban if you want to stretch it). So in that hypothetical, I think that if you are running with the premise that shintoism affects vampires at all, warding and sealing are definitely within their wheelhouse. Killing Vampires however? Less so. That's more within the realm of what gods would potentially do themselves than anything a priest or priestess would be doing.
>>96453882>>96454979>>96455049>>96455337You are a ultra retard who think like a third party cult lost in the ass of a tiny country with a weird name that nobody knows. Please dont post anymore
>>96457133>Probably SHOULD NOT include a cross however, unless Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour in Forgotten Realms (or whatever) as well.Fun fact: Nobanian is Aslan is Jesus Christ.Ed Greenwood himself added him into Forgotten Realms in an old Dragon article and straight up called him Aslan in it.

>>96459703It's like being caught in a plastic fucking pyramid scheme.I bought a model that forces me to buy more models to use it. Not even buy the models I need, I need to go out and buy TEN models I don't need for the one model I do. I need to go out and buy bags of crackerjacks, throw out the crackerjacks, and keep the prize inside.The extra disgusting part is that they've announced it this early not for consumer benefit, but to create a panic boom in their sales as people rush to buy up old stock.
>>96454934>Iirc the reason they axed specialist games was logistics.How do you mean?
>>96456975So is Frostgrave, but it still offers branded models for easy entry.Having to convert models from kitbashed medieval and WW1 kits or ordering prints from scattered STLs is for people who are already in the hobby, not total outsiders.
