No. Got a blanket (hur hur) policy against it in my games.

Speed paints: yay or nay?

I ask because Stahly rates them as worse than contrasts.

I don't know who Stahly is but for me it's a yay, I've been using them for almost a year and they get the job done (sometimes two coats are required but that's not always the case).
Pic related is like the first proper set of minis I've painted almost a year ago, with no prior painting knowledge.
Keep in mind that I'm still a total noob when it comes to this hobby and that I don't have much time to dedicate to painting in general, so take my opinion with a grain of salt

>>96478410
And he is retarded for doing so. Contrast is one of the few Citadel paints that is just straight up subpar. Most Citadel stuff is good, not enough to recommend them over stuff that is just as good but cheaper, Contrasts, however, are not good. They are inconsistent in how they handle, some are thing, others thick, most don't cover flat areas well (pretty common with the kind of paint used, however, when your product line of miniatures features a lot of flat panels, you get dinged extra hard here).

Speedpaints? Handle exactly the same. All of them flow the same, pool the same, cover the same, so you don't need different techniques for different paints. Contrasts don't even perform the same in the same shades and it's infuriating. AK is also good from what little I have used of it. Vallejo is too varied in terms of opacity with some areas requiring multiple coats to get a good shade which defeats the purpose, though their intense colors perform well.

All in all, AK and SP are the best choices for knocking out gray hordes that look good but not art competition level.

I find it weird that WotC isn't more willing to ban broken cards in standard, let alone UB cards. If I was making the decisions, I'd point out that Vivi is definitely capable of seeing play in other 60-card formats, let alone commander (clearly its intended home). Banning Vivi likely wouldn't cause the price of the card itself to drop more than $10.

>>96478285
banning vivi would cause the price to go up because nobody plays paper standard and the banning would cause more discussion about how good the card might be in other formats that people do actually play in paper.

>>96478310
This, wotc should already drop the act of standard mattering at all. They could ban all cards in standard and it wouldn't really affect the prices of the cards because no one fucking plays standard anymore. Might as well try to balance it with properly if they want to keep up the charade

I've run an LGS for decades and it's more likely that two guys will stand beside each other, holding 40k boxes, and one asks you "how do I find people to play with" so you point at the guy beside him and say "talk to this guy, he likes 40k" then after like 5 minutes of them chatting you say "hey you guys should swap numbers and text each other and setup a game"

You gotta herd cats man, if you sit there reading a book in an LGS chances are nobody will walk up to you and say anything, they'll figure that you're busy reading

It's hard to say what edition this is because of all the LRB editions as well.

Technically, this is the third edition of GW's revamp. But I suspect it's going to just get called 2025 edition, same as most of us called it's predecessor 2020 edition.

Ah well... I was really hoping GW had forgotten about this one and another five years the community could have taken it back again and fixed it. I guess we'll have to see how bad it is when it arrives.

Attributes are definitely a weak point for gurps

>What attributes do your game use?
Pic related is an example
>How do you use them?
Point buy system, stats go from 1 to 10, but it's a d12 system. Initially you get 9 points to buy Mind Body or Soul (=), then you get double that available for (-) and (+) of every stat. In general terms:
> - : Passive i.e. Passive Mind -> Resisting Intimidation, or Passive Body -> Blocking an attack
> +: Active i.e. Active Mind -> Trying to learn something, or Active Soul -> Throwing a fireball
> =: Neutral or fallback value, for whenever you are not sure if something would be passive of active. It's also used for other calculations in the game
Items and magic have a similar structure, but with type of damage and stuff. Everything was made to be easily created with in seconds, I also have some scripts ready to make it easier.
>How many before it become too many?
Whenever you are unsure of which stat to use, it's already too many imo.
>How few before it is not enough?
If the game feels like a Power Point slide when it comes to calculations then it's probably not enough.

My system was thought for a play by post system but I've also used it in person just fine.

>>96476950
Good idea. I would recommend that skills should involve specific actions pertinent to what the adventurers will be regularly doing rather than comprising a comprehensive list of every conceivable domain of knowledge. Start with a small list of useful skills and add more through play testing.

>>96472190
Maybe so. Or I do as this poster says:>>96473706 and just accept that it's nothing like history and myth, kind of bugged about that though, since one of the strengths of fantasy when it works is you feel like you're experiencing something some what connected to our real past. I cope a bit by knowing that many things are more modern inventions than you think though and still feel "authentic" until you learn about that they actually weren't a thing before, like the modern conception of vampires as nobility was never a thing, even if it feels iconic. In other words the "authenticity" that I think is being channeled by certain authors who I think are informed by history and myth may be more bogus to begin with than I want to admit.

That's cool, but to make the fight feel more climactic instead of the dragon just getting weaker and weaker I'd give it some sort of enrage state or new ability once it loses the secondary heads to make it so that you're making progress but it's still the most dangerous it's been at the end.

How is my 5.5e divine soul sorcerer looking? Anything obvious I've missed or fucked up? I was thinking about getting shield/bless but don't really want to cut any of the other spells. I like magic missile because my DM regularly has enemy spell casters and it forces a lot of concentration rolls but it could go without too much difficulty. I have a lot of concentration spells but bless is still pretty amazing for a 1st level spell.

The party is a: dwarven battlemaster fighter, elf soulknife rogue, human oath of devotion paladin

Definitely pinning. I haven't tried the bendy technique from >>96477765 but if you have plasticard you can build up some thickness under the base (or on top of the base in the case of the flying stand for my gyro), so you can have a longer, sturdier pin.

Okay, but how does Scarecrow, or other mad scientist villains, get the materials and equipment they need, especially if they want to avoid the notice of the heroes and/or law enforcement? Not to mention if they're trying to avoid doing shit like robbing banks in public to avoid attention for something big.

>>96472009
What I said above.

>>96477502
How do drug cartels get their grubby mitts on the guns, lab equipment to cook meth with, and other stuff?
The answer is relatively simple — intermediaries. Everything from gun runners to "doctors without morals".
Any capable villain usually attracts a swarm of various fixers, logistic specialists, and even street gangs.

You're thinking too reductively. Villains don't exist in a vacuum.
Rather, they find or create a niche for themselves within the criminal "ecosystem".
Like any other ecosystem, it needs someone filling every level of it to remain stable.
From street gang plankton, and all the way to the apex predators — the supervillains.

>in the middle of an international move
I've been there.
It's a great opportunity to try some new techniques, therefore buy some equipment which you don't already have, so that you don't end up with duplicates when your crates finally arrive.
Another option: Depending on how quick you work, 3 months can give you enough time to complete a project. So, for example, if you only ever made buildings before, now could be the time to make a battlemap.
The materials you'll need for it will be mostly stuff you don't already have and which will be used up for the project.

>>96475755
NTA but it's been viable for a lot longer than that, since core it's been viable. Spellbinder is basically all you need on top of Rogue or Priest. What hasn't really been viable is mixing non-Power with Power Paths because of how badly it fucks spell progression. That's something that's been fixed in SotDL.

Why the fuck Schwalb writes basically sotdl adventures for weird wizard? They all have the same tone as DL ones missing only the stuff about no good endings in conclusion.
