If things go well and I can shake this cold off I should have a big Titanicus game on Wednesday.
Titanicus is great. You should all play Titanicus.

>>96493259
Why? Shit looks cool

>>96493066
Depends entirely on the unit. For example, most WE units are melee retards so of course the WE trait is great for them. Meanwhile, something like Huscarls or Suzerains don't really care.

>>96493145
That's honesty fluffier than the OC donutsteel rules. A warband made of former WE is not going to suddenly stop being melee ragetards

>>96491011
To add to >>96492581, you can built it pretty much entirely by doing the FF jump-in and choosing "Chocobo" and "Wild" a bunch of times
The drawback is that it became baby's second deck (after mono-white life-gain) so a lot of people are playing it

Posted this knight a while back. I did it with a chrome marker/black ink pinwash technique that I am developing and refining. Got a heavily armored landsknecht that I'm about to begin painting and I'm going to use that technique for his armor. Takes a couple days with a fair bit of downtime between some steps. The technique absolutely lends itself to batchwork, however. So if you are cool with waiting between some steps you can still get a lot of minis done at once. I did a rough overview of it over on /awg/ a while back. I'll take pictures as I go and drop the tutorial for it all at once when it's done. It's actually very easy to do, a beginner could even do it. Of course there are other things to keep in mind with the technique. You won't want Joe with the greasy hands pawing all over it smudging it just to see if it will smudge. But there are certain ways to mitigate wear and tear and I'll go over all that as well in the tutorial.

I find my phone camera always washes out colors for some reason. It will have heavy contrast irl but I take a picture and it just disappears.

This thread again? "ZOMG think of the children!!!!1!1!!" Not that OP does, he just wants more plastic crack than he has the budget for, and so he's gotten obsessed with the idea of being able to buy it all at what he thinks is eight year old's pocket money prices.

Corporations have figured out that people, especially men, in western culture nowadays gladly continue to buy and play with shit traditionally marketed for kids and teenagers as long as they can conceptualize it as "hobby" and they have way more money at their disposal than underages. It's more profitable to just focus 100% on them and adjust the price tags to what they're willing to spend (which is way more than more parents will for their kids). Same shit is happening to Lego, to a lesser extent and probably will spread out to some other brands as well - things that were traditionally considered "for kids" will become hobbies for adults

Still, that's certainly a dick move from GW, like how much could this possibly have costed them?

Best thing to happen in Legion in a long time, though these Generic Jedi seem like they could be somewhat overtuned depending on how they are costed.

>Ventress/Maul/Ahsoka
kek, confirmed to be Padawan/Inquisitor-tier forcelets.
More seriously I'm more worried about the Jedi Consular or Jedi Training (Force Adept) getting them to MOTF2 which would be crazy if not costed appropriately.
I'm surprised these seem to be so high-power when Rebel and Imperial generics are closer to the 65-110pts range. I suppose it makes sense with Republic being the Elite faction with expensive units.
>>96492333
For context

>They dominated all galactic commerce and still would if MYSTERIOUS shifts in hyperspace hadn't changed the primary terminus point from Nar Shaddaa to Coruscant
That's not quite how it went. The Ootmian Pabol, the hyperspace route that connects Hutt Space with the Perlemian Trade Route, one of the major hyperspace routes of the galaxy, used to see a large amount of legitimate traffic, with Nar Shaddaa, which is located at the terminus of the route, being a major trade-world.
However, a supernova in a nearby system rendered the original route unnavigable, effectively cutting Nar Shaddaa of from major trade routes until the Ottmian could be rerouted. By the time it was Nar Shaddaa it had already been superseded by other worlds and never really recovered to its former glory, instead becoming mostly frequented by smugglers and pirates.

However, Coruscant was always the primary nexus of hyperspace travel, due to it being located at the crossroads of multiple big hyperspace routes (which isn't a coincidence: those routes were charted by Republic explorers, so they naturally led to the Republic's capital). Had things gone differently the Hutts would probably be seen as a legitimate trade-empire instead of criminals, but they never were the major trade-hub of the galaxy.

>>96492984
Nah, Hutts have a natural disposition to criminality. It's like saying Biths could have been a nation of weapon manufacturers

>>96493248

With mechs there is a further complication of the man-machine interface, you don't have all the controls in the cockpit, there is supposed to be quite some automation behind this.
So where does the automation end and pilot skill begin.

Sounds like a great time anon. Wish I could get people to run a game like that.

alright, finally going to run that straya adventure

I ran Chariot of the Gods for my group and it went pretty well. I think I kind of mucked up the tension at the end since I was trying to keep it within one six hour session. The initial contact with the abomination was great and ended up with one dead player and the corporate stooge missing a leg. The second half was a little messier as the group began to split, leading to the Weyland Yutani guy sealing himself in the Muthur room and entering the cryosleep chamber there while the rest of the group ran off to help the other Wey Yu agent secure the black goo. They did, killing a neomorph along the way while the rest of the Cronus' crew got wiped out. One of the PCs got infected and, beginning to mutant, remained on the Cronus. I think my biggest issue with CotG is that while the first and second act have great looming threats, the third act is really just more monsters attakcing the players. Oh also, I cut the space pirates, because that's dumb. I'm going to run Heart Of Darkness next and have some ideas of how to better tie it into the ending of our first session. Has anyone run that before and what advice would you give?

>>96492089
I'd like to request
Alarmingly underweight researcher wearing hover-suit prototype, high-tech metallic full body harness that glows faintly, she's hovering inches above ground, picture of perfect mental health - shaved head, bags under eyes, sickly pale, burn marks/track marks/scars on her arms.
She's either naked besides the harness or is some minimalistic underwer (in either case, straps of the harness conveniently do the necessary to maintain basic decency).
Her expression is absolutely triumphant after radical dieting and some serious tinkering she managed to get just enough lifting force to get off the ground, validating tremendous effort she put into the project, didn't even need to cut any toes - which she absolutely would do if that made the diffirence getting the liftoff.
Hell, if you can be bothered doing a background, throw pair of industrial bolt cutters in the corner and whiteboard scribbles estimating weight of toes.

Backwards hand.

Labyrinthus has everything covered. Consensual Sex, Non-consensual Sex, Romance and such. it even has its own oracles, random npc generation and rules for exploration

>>96492576
It doesn't cover different classes

>>96491511
My idea with Wardens was that their bonuses were weaker, while being more universal (because you nearly always go through forests), but perhaps you are right (and ditto Peakstriders, to a lesser degree).

But the objective was to be able to get the ranger fantasy (light armoured fighter that is not a rogue of some sort), so it's fine if there is some loss of power.

Anyone know of any good AI chat models that allow for lewd or semi-lewd role play on the internet? I need something I don't have to run on my computer...

for example, picrel is every single Violet vector (movements between Air and Fire element). These were cut out, and assigned once to each of the 3 Violet card type.

So for every color, there is exactly 3 instances of any given board movement across a section of a color pie.

>>96490974
>Because then I have to have a different way for damage rolls to deal multiple wounds and it becomes more difficult to balance. But maybe not, and that's something I really should consider.
Standard for a single roll vs TN (in this case 2d10) is to use margin of success to determine things like amount of wounds and so on.
For dicepool style rolls you just count successes as normal.

>>96433220
I sometimes look at these threads and see all the complex mechanical frameworks people come up with, and I wonder if that's what's needed to be successful these days.

>>96491665
true. but then damage would have to be capped by huge modifiers in a range of 20 numbers, instead of maxed by the number of damage dice rolled. I suppose that is more realistic though. Even a goblin's dagger could rip a terrible mortal wound in an ogre if rightly placed..

>>96491972
No. What's needed to be successful is to be a D&D clone written by a popular YouTuber and have a flashy Kickstarter and low-info normgroids who will think any mechanic that is different from D&D is mind-blowingly original. It's fucking sad really but it's how things are.

>>96476261
But if you fully submerged that same 10th level fighter in acid, he would take much longer to dissolve than a 5th level fighter

>>96478279
Consistently though. A high enough level fighter will always survive a fall of any height, just as long as he's spent enough time resting to recover his luck/will since his last terminal velocity impact

Sure, I played a Circle of Wildfire druid who was the mother of one of my other characters, and came out of retirement to beat up some mindflayers down in Halaster's little funhouse after her husband (Abjuration savant wizard merchant's son) had been kidnapped for his juicy noggin (DM's idea), and that was fun. I try not to do the "unreasonably tragic backstory" thing just to pre-empt some shitheel DM abusing it - the kidnapped husband thing was fine for motivational purposes.

I did end up playing her because my other character (Wild Soul Barbarian with an echo knight dip because I thought both sounded interesting to try) was indisposed for a bit.
Said barbarian also adopted the party Warlock as his new Witch (given he was K-Mart Minsc) and fell in love, despite her being capital E evil, and I like to think they could've had a relationship continue and become something more later on

>>96479283
Mind sharing?

>>96476838
I've DMed for a party where all three of them ended up with spouses or fiancés by the end of it. I basically ran the significant others in terms of giving each a special ability that the party could activate at the start of each round. So they could choose to have the priest husband could heal someone OR have the esper wife teleport someone OR have the old war buddy romantic partner shield someone. It worked pretty well.

>>96476838
Back in like 2015, me and my friend played a married couple. My character was a paladin and hers was a cleric. It was actually kind of cute.... It was fun to roleplay and come up with what our characters would do in their downtime. It created an interesting dynamic where our characters were usually united on decisions they made, and would spend most of their time together.

My current PF2e character for Season of Ghosts, my tanuki rogue, has a husband and two adult children. They haven't seen a lot of screentime right now, with her husband out-of-town, but she dotes on her children sometimes during downtime.

Do you guys have a favorite sci-fi setting that you like to play in?

I learned a bit about this game. It's really simple, which is good. I must have these acorn dice when they're available.

I should have never switched from solo to playing with a group... My solo games and campaigns were so fun and consistent. Playing with other people complicates things way too much. Even when things are going good they have a tendency to whine and argue with each other.
