An epic high-flying role-playing game about reborn god-heroes in a world that turned on them.
Start here:http://theonyxpath.com/category/worlds/exalted/

>That sounds cool, how can I get into it?
Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial:http://mengtzu.github.io/exalted/sakuya.html
It’ll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.

This is what i'm talking about it seems like lunars want to make sure people have to interact with them or can't be ignored. If lunars were present in all three different realms of Exalted that'd raise questions on why they didn't focus on saving creation. Also I thought sidereals had charms revealed to them at the right time to be made specifically to deal with ghosts. If lunars are somehow more knowledgeable or capable of dealing with underworld then do you want them to pretty much just take the spot of the Green Lady?

>>96472389
Sure. Well, not actually 'sure' because it's doubtful that Dragon-Blooded were evenly spread throughout Creation back then, but it's not really worth arguing about because it's not central to my point. I feel like you might've lost sight of what this discussion is about, so I'll just point you to the starting point: >>96461725 >>96468923.

The bard drifts absent mindedly to one of the houses on the inner side of the highway and steps through the front door. A good enough place as any for a cat house.

A few hours later. Venti smiles down at the pack of cats and one particularly house cat looking lion he was petting.
"Aww you're a good kitty." The cultivator grins rubbing the large cat's head. The beast purring contently
"You take care of your siblings okay?"
He sighs. Amused even if he was functionally talking to himself.
He adjusts his cloak, stepping out of the house. Well, that was most of the night spent on admittedly fairly minor things. but he'd made most of the core stuff already over the last few months.

It was going to need a lot more work. But he was happy with this place.
It sort of reminded him of home. From what he remembered of it at this point at least. He pauses and looks down. - Oh! that spot on a intersection looked a bit like how he remembered the street, a Mcdonalds in his hometown growing up. That could be a good next project.

The cultivator floats down to begin. Already beginning to plot out the shape for the building, But a familiar voice cuts through all of reality,as it begins to dissolve into something entirely different.
"Wake up! I made breakfast!"
He blinks, blearily orienting himself as he looks around the airy, wooden floored and walled room bedroom, light streaming through the window. to see his sister in the doorway. She had indeed made breakfast. Well dreamscape creating would have to wait until another night to continue.

Mmhm. I wanted to see how realistic or confusing a bit trying to play off the dream as reality for the scene but he doesn't have the development to do that yet.
The dreamscape can be a fun. Even if He'd never call it a toy. It's sort of the ultimate creative tool in a way.


>Or at least, the place where he came from.
Exactly. It's basically a amalgamation of his hometown and his new life in Hyrule. Though as time goes on hyrules obviously gonna dominate more and more elements of the dreamscape. I do have the mental image of one of his attacks in the late second stage and third just to be opening a portal and out comes barreling a tiger or semi truck though.

>Cooking gets much easier when you can use Ki for all the kitchen equipment.
Saves a lot of money on kitchen equipment to. Though given venti and midna live with her they probably have them anyway.

I want to try Andromeda's Edge as I had similar feelings after trying the Dwellings of Eldervale once when visiting my brother's gaming group. Not sure if it's something I'd buy, but I had a good time with it. I'd like to see how AE compares.
This might have been helped by the fact that I smoked them too.
Apparently no one had ever played the Centaur faction for whatever reason. I was already going to pick them because centaurs are cool, but once I saw their ability that lets you flip a die to 6 (or something along those lines it's been half a year) I knew it was going to be delicious.
They learned to respect the Centaur master race that day.
Thanks for reading my blog.

The chances that you naturally just happened to be wanting a brettonian team and a khemri team together at the same time that GW announced a joint release of them is so vanishingly small as to be negligible.
So the reality is you only want one of them at best and any illusion to the contrary is your FOMO deluding you.
That being understood, if you really must have one of these GW teams then the best option (since you show a willingness to wait) is to wait for them to be sold individually or for someone to buy the box looking for the other team who then wants to sell off the team you are interested in.
>>
>>96472563
I understand your point, but here's how I came to it
>Want to get into BB
>Hmm Second Edition has everything, but I don't want either team
>Also figure new edition and set is coming out sooner rather than later
>I'll just play learn if I like the game on BB3, get Blitz Bowl to get friends involved and then buy Norse or regular Orks to play with friends at LGS
>Oh shid new edition with two badass looking teams, including Bretts who would be a contender for my starting team based on rule of cool
I still think I'm going to get Norse or Orks and see how I like tabletop. Haven't played Blitz Bowl yet with friends (I know it's really not the same game)
By the time I figure out if I want to invest and have friends who want to play, the new box should be out and hopefully available
I guess my question is about whether there is so much value in Second Edition that it's worth getting it and trying to sell the teams. I think my current course of action is good though
>>
>>96472621
I'd advice you to get team from non-GW source. If you want the GW norse or orc get them now, next month they're gonna increase the price, probably 5-10USD.
>>
>>96472621
>Second Edition
"second season" is the GW branding, this is more like 13th edition?
And no, people are only playing 2020 (and will only play 2025) because it's the current gw product, and it will live only so long as that status is maintained.
the 6th community edition (Living Rule Book 6) is the latest edition of the game that survived on it's own merit of being a good game that people wanted to play.
It is also the last version of the game to be designed with the involvement of the man who invented the game, as well as the last vrsion of the game to be released as a complete game all at once AND is the last version of the game to be playtested with a goal of making th game balanced and fun to play.
You say you are getting your friends into the game, so you aren't relying on the existence of an already established group, which means you can buy whatever team miniatures you want and play with whatever rules you want, so the free and complete LRB6 is a valid option here, you can play that and still buy whatever minis GW makes as they come out.
>>
>>96472652
That's a good point
>>96472669
Sorry, I'm talking about the 2020 Second Season Edition box and the 2025 Third Season Edition box
I will most likely mainly play at my LGS. I'm not sure whether or not yet I can get my friends to come along

2/2

It can also search through entire folder trees, so if you have a folder called like "02_arms", and then download a compressed folder called "space soldier builder" which contains another folder called "02_arms", then as long as the contents of those two folders are the same it'll flag them as a duplicate for you to choose which to move/delete.

You can then give it rules for which ones to mark for moving or deletion, or manually mark them yourself. Oldest file in each duplicate group, newest file, folder paths starting with "C:", folder paths containing the word "X", largest file size, smallest file size, mark only one file in each duplicate group, mark all but one file in each group etc.

You can also tell it to ignore entire file types or filepaths which is handy if you want to make sure it doesn't check or touch a certain place or thing.

It takes quite a while for it to scan terabytes of files (like, hours), but of course you're not tied to the computer during that time - so yes, massive time saver.

At the risk of being a shill, the one I used is duplicatecleaner dot com. About $50 iirc. Hope it's helpful!

I feel like making something, ideally something OSR-adjacent. This is kind of an open-ended question: what RPG supplement or other cool thing does /tg/ want to see? Think something you'd pay between $3 and $5 for.

I've got some game design and writing experience. I can handle graphic design and illustration (and sound too, if relevant). I just want some input on what you think might be cool. Trying to decide what to put a little time into.

Every time I search for a cool "barbarian" in some RPG, no matter if it's dark fantasy or not, it's always the half-naked dude or chick that looks like he / she has just wake up after an university party.
It gives the same vibes that you get from watching an historical film and for some reason, the filmmakers hate natural colors and must put a filter that ruins your immersion.

Is it there a good RPG with proper "barbarians"?

>The best fix I see imho is to rebrand Ranger as Barbarian, and give the current Barbarian bag of tricks to Druids. These are cultural discursive categories though so it's not actionable. If you want a "lore accurate" Barbarian however he needs to be a jack of all trades (explicitly besides magic) and yet forced to do odd jobs due to being an unspecialized yokel.

It would likely be better to rebrand the class "Berserker" and then have "Barbarian" be a culture or origin for any class to cover cultural outsider aspects. This would allow the class to focus more on the wild uncontrolled fighter rather than needing to deal with the cultural baggage.

Or you could get with the way the majority of people think about the barbarian for decades and cease autistically caring about how the ttrpg/fantasy archetype of the wild raging warrior in little armor who may or may not have ties to nature spirits doesn't line up with old stories of Conan or what the Greeks/Romans called "uncultured" foreigners.

Even then, you can still have your foreign barbarians while still having the barbarian class because only retards will confuse the two. Are you a retard who confuses the two?

I'm really glad WGA managed to fix the thicc shield problem their dwarves are plagued with, but unholy freak on a lich those skellies aren't looking dead at gaming distance.

>Maybe this is nothing new, but I don't remember ever seeing this ten years ago.
It's a very old thing that came back in fashion because it got cheap. Early on, you needed more money to print cards. But think Warhammer 40k 2e, Clan War, Deadlands, etc. There's always been a trickle of games with cards, Kickstarter and Chinese slave labor made it a flood.
>Pros
Cards always use a dependent probability (what comes next is influenced by what came last) and the designer can skew them as they see fit
Likewise, wargear cards automatically place a limit (in theory) on duplicate items. Can be a balance thing
Hidden information and resource storing. Kensei did this particularly well. Cards can also be used as objective markers, pre-assigned treasure stashes, and the like
They add feelies and another place for art or story elements in a game, and can increase a box's perceived value. Even if the game only uses a regular deck of playing cards, custom decks are a common impulse purchase (see: Blood and Plunder, Deadlands, et. al.)
Quick reference to rules without opening the book

>Cons
For scummy creators, they're a great gacha/chase element. It's one of the ways Xwing and Armada pumped sales numbers; put critical cards for one ship into another box, especially cards you "need" multiples of. And of course that ship works best with some stuff from box #3..
Cards physically degrade very quickly, especially if you need to shuffle them multiple times per game. They're relatively easy to lose and often difficult to replace
It's extremely hard to effectively errata a card without a new print run, and using errata with them interrupts gameplay constantly. You might as well just have a table at that point. This bit Xwing in the ass.
Cards inevitably slow down setup and teardown: they usually also drag down gameplay, especially if there are a lot of rules on each card. They add a lot of "churn", so people can feel like they're doing more even with a shallow set of rules

I noticed some shadokesh models on the WGA release schedule. How many different boxes of shadokesh did dreamforge games produce back in the day? I like the sleek and lanky look these guys had.

That really sucks bro. My LGS has people playing Halo, Trench Crusade, and some other skirmish games. Along with a healthy amount of Old World players.

Unfortunately I'm now moving to another country, so that's probably all going out the window.

>Everyone
• PLEASE BUMP THE THREAD IF IT REACHES PAGE 10!

>Requesters:
• Provide good, detailed references (pictures are better than verbal descriptions), so the artists know what you're looking for.
• If you have a WIP quote the Anchor Post, and attach the WIP so your Drawfag can find you.
• Do not reply to other deliveries with a request that the artist fill your request next. This is called 'piggybacking'.
• Do not make multiple requests in the same thread and do not serially request multiple characters after a delivery. Suggesting several concepts for artists to choose from counts as making multiple requests.
• If you're unsatisfied with your completed request, please wait at least one week before you re-request. If someone follows this rule, don't waste posts by complaining about it.
• No furries allowed.
• Stay on topic.

>Drawfags and Drawfags-to-be:
• Drop your tumblrs/websites/commission/etc information, but if you're dropping your commission info, please consider filling a request beforehand instead of just advertising.
• Please keep AI deliveries to the /slop/ threads. This is a thread for human-made art.

Honestly a perfect description. I gave up trying to get something else than everyone but the noble being a clone, as well as the mess that's the "food"

Hi, i want to try new systems for a low fantasy/no magic medieval game, and im interesting about the ones that only use D6s. Can you help me?
I want to know the name and something positive and something negative of it. It doesnt matter if its simple or complex. Many thanks.

Same here. Mine uses a dice pool of no more than five and no less than two.
I also don't want the rules to make anyone who doesn't own a battlemat or want to deal with graph paper have to buy into those things, so I'm taking a page from Index Card RPG and suggesting they use playing cards or index cards to represent different locations and ranges during combat.
