change is... le bad!!!!1!!

RQG sucks and Glorantha sucks when played outside of HeroQuest because the lore is incompatible with the rules. I like Mythras a lot but TDM doesn't seem to care about vanilla Mythras at all, only Mythic Earth and Classic Fantasy. And at some point they errattad the rules so point buy is only 75 points which is extremely crippling to most character concepts. And doubly odd because again they love pushing Classic Fantasy where you get 91 points which is way too many. Very odd decisions.
>>96590765
Suffers from Call of Cthulhu syndrome where a bunch of the numbers don't do anything, and it uses the old confusing version of Initiative. I would just use Mythras with the magic systems stripped out for a generic d100 system.

Damage immunity relies on a lot of assumptions or what sort of damage a Krak missile deals. And a Lascannon is also of similar threat. Shaving off d6 of a Fighter's dozen wounds is gonna sting all the same.
Slaying arrows don't really affect anything at all, because I was already operating on the assumption that we're talking about a standard 1 wound marine infantry. The Fighter is already assumed to get the kill if he's able to get past a 3+ armor save. It's getting into range that's the main hurdle.

Speed enhancements probably help more than anything else, since even just doubling movement is enough to decrease the 3-4 rounds of heavy weapons fire down to a mere 2 at best. And outside of some very good rolls that's not going to cut it.
Again though, I already agreed that a Fighter had good odds even if both of them had the most basic toolkits available, with just mundane weapons and a standard bolter marine. Bringing up heavier weapons was mostly to illustrate that the Fighter class by itself, while good at taking punishment, isn't some sort of unstoppable force.

You're talking about results that could, again, be achieved by 20 chaos cultists on a good day. Adding magical gear into the mix and it's more akin to a squad of Howling Banshees.
Which to be clear, is still very good. But it's not so good that a Fighter would want to run across an open field into multiple enemies with heavy weapons. Nor would he really want to fight any army single-handedly, because attrition would still get him.
Keep in mind 40k is a wargame where there are stats for Daemon Primarchs, which are absolutely as close to demigods as you can get within the tabletop, and even they can get taken out by sufficient volumes of fire.

>>96589304
Easily.

>>96587329
>For instance, a level 20 fighter would not know how to maintain and wield an arm-cannon or a repeating crossbow. A level 20 Fighter would not know how to throw knives.
I don't think I'd want to play a game where a level 20 fighter can't do something that I could reasonably do in real life with 20 levels worth of practice. Yeesh. This is bait, right?

Oh wait, you must mean your ability score is +2 (14 or 15 DEX). Duh, because your PB alone is +3.
You're fine. Your attack bonus is +5 when it "should" be +7, but that's not drastic. My L6 sorc has +5 to hit with Booming Blade and it doesn't feel like shit when I do so on occasion.

don't use the rebake NPCs, they fucking suck ass
Kai "Retard" Tave wrote them with the intention they'd be balanced, but actually made a bunch of them way stronger, as well as not knowing a thing about any of the NPC identities because he doesn't fucking play Lancer at all
Kill Kai Tave, behead him, fire him, boil him alive in oil

>>96590672
>but actually made a bunch of them way stronger
sort of. paradoxically, while being way more punishing with debuffs, conditions, etc., he turned down the actual damage output of the mechs a lot. so you end up interacting a lot less with the main source of attrition: structure damage.

>>96591016
Kai just doesn't fucking play Lancer, I hate everything he touches and he's a fucking huge asshole in the discord that can't take criticism
every mech he designed officially is an overpowered piece of shit except for the kutuzov, the gilgamesh by itself is fine but the license is insane
his other homebrew book, suldan, is full of grossly overpowered bullshit
unfortunately, since he's like the only massif dev working on shit right now, he's practically the face of the game
Can't wait for Miguel to finally get off his ass now that his wotc contract is over and drag Tom's dumb ass kicking and screaming back to do Lancer instead of yet another dogshit new system nobody fucking plays

Its only really one person I've seen on X who makes it apparent they only read the ADB Night Lord books which whilst are decent reads I've slowly started to dislike them.

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.

The Single Most Boring Campaign Setting or RPG?

This is a subjective ass question that's mainly being responded to with
"Forgotten Realms."
Which I feel is unfair to some extent because the setting has been going on for decades, which I believe can allow people to run into a type of fatigue with the setting, and its tropes that because of its popularity everything around it just yoinks freely and ganks randomly. It's something I've noticed in many ttrpg settings. You can't be mad at Michael Jordan because now everyone in the NBA tries to be THE NEXT Michael Jordan.
If we're gonna sit here and do that we may as well shit on settings like Lahnkmahr.
Now watch me be a Hypocirte.

The Marvel Comics Universe from the Marvel D616 game line.
Yes this setting in my head is seperate from the Setting found in the 1980's Game.
Now you may say "Take your shit ass opinion to the comics board." No. They Made it a TTRPG so I get to say some shit. You want to hate on a setting that is so painfully generic and assinine it hurts? Look no further. Ever Since they created and killed the first Ultimate line Marvel's Base Homeworld Has gone to SHIT. The Setting is so FUCKING boring, they're making YOU do all the work of making good stories because THEY fucking can't. That's my top pick, because I could say some shit like "Any superhero setting that isn't the big 2" but that'd be a lie. the Marvel Found in the D616 TTRPG is Utter DOG SHIT and if it requires YOU to make a good story in it, it's a dog shit setting.

I'd put Earthdawn at upper medium crunch. It is VERY bound to its setting, mostly from a metaphysics standpoint. It goes into depth on how magic works and how it interplays with Disciplines (the system's classes all of which are explicitly magical, even the "martials"), magic items, and so on. The metaplot can be ignored beyond the initial set-up, and like most games with a metaplot it should be ignored beyond mining for ideas.

You can play with every model as an individual character, it's lots of fun. But you can also have small regiments of a dozen or so guys fighting alongside the individuals if you roll a large enough warband. There are advantages and drawbacks to each; a regiment will be better able to seize and maintain the advantage in combat because of their rank bonus (which requires at least 8 models in two ranks of four) but individual models will be more maneuverable and won't be affected by difficult terrain.
