>Ok, I'm trying to make the maps with the icons in the file. They work well, but I have to make them with a white background. Either that, or I need to clean up each of the icons so that we could use the sepia background.
I don't know if that'll fix it to your liking, but what I've done is first place a white hexagon grid, then the terrain, and after that another black grid but with some transparency.
Otherwise that's a really cool idea. I don't see any problems with it from a mechanical point of view

1st quick setup instruction page for the TTS mod (I guess it could also be useful to add it to the main rule book at the end), leaving some space if I think of stuff to add to it, I'll be doing another one with the main Actions and mechanics (that one will probably be very useful as a quick reference sheet) and another one to guide players if they want to go beyond the very start, NPCs, Scenarios, Conditional Rules, Campaigns, etc.

WIP of my Saur Keshiq.
Saur is an old metal Cold One.
Legs are from the Dark Elf rider it came on, I greenstuffed the torso from a Kairic Acolyte, the head is from the barbarian chaos dude from the Silver Tower GW board game I've never got around to play. I plan on using the rest of his body for a Gorg once I find the proper head.

>>96591417
>Saur Keshiq
I've got one in the pipeline too! (which I'll start after the Saur Squire is done [sculpting scale mail to fill some gaps is not fun])

Mine will use a Perry Afghan head, wargames factory Persian bow, and a victrix armoured late roman rider with the cloak option.
Mount will be the same Saurus Scale Veteran Cold one with sculpted saddle I posted earlier thanks to magnets.

I've also got some sort of Kairic Acolyte from that eyes of the nine box I got on discount, I figured it would make a good Lemurian with the very sculpted muscles. It's cool to see how the same kit can go in very different directions and how the same unit can be gotten at from two different angles.

The genius of Mork Borg is the tables being compressed story generators. You don't find a "+1 Dagger", you find the "Vampiric Phurba". At first, you think you've scored a sweet lifesteal weapon, but the item has its own built in narrative: the hook is the d3 healing, and the rising action is that after stealing just 6 HP, you risk addiction. Suddenly the climax isn't a big battle, but the daily choice you now face: stab anyone with the knife before sunrise, or wither to ash. The item itself creates a perfect, self contained arc about temptation, addiction, and desperation that the player chooses to engage with. It's not a DM telling you a story, the story is embedded in the very mechanics of the cursed shit you find.

And that, gentlemen, is where games ascend into a form of art - a story that doesn't belong to the player or the book, but emerges from the space where they collide and become one.

>>96591246
Yeah that’s insane to me because I never heard of one piece until I walked into an lgs for the first time like 3 months ago and asked what games are popular. Several people I have chatted with don’t even know what gundam is, they tend to be younger though. I think gundam is possibly more just recognizable to the average person from the models in every craft store but it doesn’t have a huge following from manga/anime like one piece does.

Neither Bandai game is lasting 10 years.

And I pray to god no Bandai game breaks within the top 3 in my lifetime. Lazy company that don't deserve it.

my favorite avatar is waveshaper and i play all water. im pretty noobish but my strat is to let other player make the first move putting minions down then riptiding to drown them or other instant kill methods. Build up the mana for great old one or vatndraconis then finish him off with that. waveshapers ability to tap to flood a site and tap enemy minions there is really strong once you don't need to tap for anymore sites.

Sure, no problem.
This particular Prime has really porous borders with neighboring primes and other planes. The Earth equivalent world was purged of most life by demonic forces until reconquered by elves and their human slave-soldiers. There is a small, fractured population of Native American peoples scattered in the arid (safer) parts of the world, with their very active gods already. In this new world, they find aspects of the old gods of their homeworld to worship. The homeworld is a low-magic, early imperial Rome so they bring Jupiter, Neptune, Hera and Hercules to the new world. Other humans migrate in over the millenia, bring Norse and Japanese beliefs that affect the composition of gods worshipped. So, gods and spirit beliefs derive from the power of these beliefs.
In the century after the human revolt against their elven masters, the first new religion arises, that is the belief in One. One is not a god, One is. With the discovery of elemental magic, the Elemental Church also started. Neptune worship is rapidly supplanted into Njord worship. One nation has a goddess of their home islands that they created out of thin air, she appears as a shimmering light that heals and sometimes grants favors. Other spirit practices exist, such as summoning enormous animal spirits, again through the power of belief.
This is also the root of clerical or divine magic.
So, in this context (apologies for the length), the old world's gods are still officially worshipped by the major empire on the world. This is only done by state bureaucrats and the imperial family during festivals. It's just enough mana to keep the old gods visible as humanoid entities, except Njord who is worshipped by many merchants and sailors. This is how you end up finding Jupiter angry-drunk at a bar.

Can we get some more good art of deities please? What about angels? Also, what more can you say about angels in your settings? Mine essentially have a hive mind that allows them to act as one, at least for angels serving the same god.

Never been a fan of how often gods are just basic humanoids most of the time.

>>96537281
Gods are often used to explain certain questions that the monkey brains we have struggle to think of. For example where do we go when we die? Seeing as you said you used Greek Gods alot you are aware of Hades the ruler of the underworld who cares for the dead in the after life, you probably also know Thanatos the actual god of death. There's also the various psychopomps like Hermes who guide souls to Hades.
Keeping on with the Greeks theres Gods like Nyx, goddess of Night and Erebus Primordial God of Darkness. Used to explain two things that are essential to the world but further delving into the concepts of their domains makes the brain hurt.

Whilst the pantheon can be as you want you have to remember not everybody will worship a God. Your average pleb isnt committed to Hephestus for example because they arent a smith of any kind, famously Sparta worshipped Ares alot because of their war centric culture whilst other places rarely worshipped the guy mostly cause Ares was the unfun parts of War to many cultures.

My pantheon is broken down mostly into stuff that explains why a piece of nature is there and stuff that comes about from mortals, example I have a God of Life called Life, he is the flow of life itself his followers depict him as an eternal wanderer as even when someone stands still life still walks on, an example of a God that comes from mortals is Morok the God of Philosophy and Enlightenment a very mortal centric God seeing as Philosophy and the search for Enlightenment are things we as people invented for various reasons and each have a want for in our own way.

Basic is like 1/2e but soft caps at 14.
3.x and 5e soft cap at 20 but has no actual upper limit due to Epic progression rules.

>Megatraveller introduced an Imperium wide Civil War,

Does anyone know where I can get the Megatraveller books or at least more info on the civil war?

How the fuck do you pronounce "Ihatei"?

>>96589932
According to google:
The name "Ihatei" is pronounced ee-hah-TAY. This phonetic breakdown suggests the "ih" sounds like a long "ee" as in "see", the "hat" sounds like the word "ha", and the "ei" sounds like a long "ay" as in "day" or "say".

I understand the MT and TNE eras but what is the setting for T5?

>>96589829
The Imperial Encyclopedia is a Megatraveller product and is still considered central to the setting, and is quite literally an encyclopedia on Traveller concepts as well as the overall timeline.

You can find it just by searching for a .pdf.

>>96563274
Terminally online goobers have devolved all lore discussions into "neo-gnatzee chud templars" vs "commie big titty blue tau GFs". The hobby is dead and all that is left are disgruntled nerds desperate to be seen as "cooler" than the other nerds by arguing over minutiae and crapping on everyone else. Nobody plays for fun anymore and competitons are just meta chasing fatasses who you'd think would have enough time to do an okay paint job with all the time they save by not showering but you'd be wrong. You're about 3 decades too late to enjoy the hobby because everyone in it hates themselves for still being good little GW pay piggoes and (you) for not wasting 40 years if your life hoping the stories would focus on anyone but the "humanity" team with a smattering of elf teamups as they mow down endless waves of green dumbasses, murder crabs and misguided evil rebel humans.

Shillelagh and dual wielding is actually kind of interesting. It functionally gives you a d8/d12/2d6 light weapon. And using Strength you'd be mostly SAD, because the best light/Nick weapons are finesse.
>>96590945
So why are you WIS? 5 levels of ranger are way too many to be an effective druid.
Anyway, you should clearly respec as a STRanger X / Fighter 1 / Druid 1. TFW and Defense fighting styles, Shillelagh from Druid, club&scim and then a longsword/rapier attack when you pick up Dual Wielder for that sweet +1 DPR.
Or be sensible and do as >>96591094 suggests.

>>96591120
nta but hes probably not minmaxing

>>96591223
Asking why WIS ranger wasn't supposed to mean that's an unoptimal build so don't do it, just asking what the concept is. I DM for a player whose 2024 Ranger's Wisdom is higher than his Dexterity and it's to focus on Wis skills, like Survival, and his Beast Master companion's effectiveness. I'm curious what this anon's concept is. Saying "way too many to be an effective druid" probably came off as shitting on the character though, my bad.

Yes. They've had constant support since the synch up of bt20-21 and we're at bt23 with them getting ex support as well. It' exhaustion. I tried watching the show, didn't care for it, but really I just am tired of it getting more support than agumon and veemon recently

Dead Man's Hand of he Emperor session:

Crackolytes had one sleep and rejoined the Arbitrator in charge while the Proctor-Laureate is stuck getting ambushed in the deserte. Seems like having killed Seth ruined someone's huge plans and whoever's in charge is just fucking the most shit up they can.
Arbitrator says we can possibly get one squad, the one "the regiment wants to get rid of", if we convince them enough, to go help the siege. We ask how do we convince tthem to help more and the possible answer is going into the Administratum HQ and talking with the Adept-Intercolutor bitch.Kms myself.

Tech Priest clutches the diplomacy rolls and makes good argument to let the mockery of a human let us borrow her astropath.

>astropath is a 12yo boy
>our gm sure likes child labour huh
>callidia gets called a sad girl

We are nice to the astropath child and engage in conversation, since he's kept locked away only able to hear everyone's thoughts. He sends the message since the guard is nearby, he tell them to send a forward squad to reinforce the abbey while the main force lands on the port and meet with us.
Hopefully this is all enough to convince whatever general or colonel on the way, to go fight the Fratelis Templar even if we have to directly spin it on being about the tithe.

2 days left since their actual landing on the planet. Time to vox the Abbey about the good(?) news, if the Abbey doesn't have a long range vox then Callidia is using Haxta's riding crop on the Canoness.

>>96554616
Well, despite the lack of responses, we did it. Just. The point system turned out to be mostly unused and keeping Forcyz at a holographic distance helped. I had some problems getting the Inquisitor into things without him beating the players over the head with his rosette until they decided that they could squeeze an inquisitor on port wander with the information of what they've done in Modren's defeat. I wish them the best of luck on that one. It was actually a lot quicker than I thought it'd be - we plowed through it over the weekend. Their big reward was a dune knockoff planet to settle, but they've already got a station and colony so we'll see how that runs - or if they bother at all.
