I like how the Order of Hermes are so divided and so arrogant and so hubristic they couldn’t beat one of their former wizarding houses - yes the Tremere. It goes to show that even with superior magics you won’t win wars if you cannot organize yourselves.Was the Massassa War supposed to be a comedy?
>>96608207The Technocracy going full Team America and deciding to nuke a third of fucking India because they couldn’t grab their arch-scientists in time was even funnier.
>>96606395You'd need to go back in time convince early Whitewolf to fire it's retarded staff members and prevent CofD from ever being created.WoD would then exist when the big vampire and big-titty goth GF crazes of the 2000's hit, allowing WW to capture a good chunk of the gaming market and shelter them before the plague of D&D 5e hits.

>>96315518OP here, sorry for disappearing, am back. Was busy with work on some competition. Thanks for all the interest!>Elemental is an online 1v1 card game where players build their decks and take turns playing cards from them. Their decks start weak, but they can improve them by buying better cards or removing weak ones. Each player also has some mana (used to play cards), gold (used to buy cards) and HP (if it reaches 0, the player loses). Some cards give gold, deal damage or restore HP, while others provide various forms of utility, shielding or buffs. Seven elemental dice determine the strengths of various cards: Chance, Fire, Earth, Water, Nature, Gold and Magic. They are rolled at the start and stay as they are. However, some cards can change the values of these dice, thus changing how strong other cards are.>Elemental scaling is Elemental's core unique mechanic that sets it apart from other games in the genre.>Many cards' descriptions have an element symbol instead of a number, e.g. "Deal Fire damage to your opponent". This means that the amount of damage dealt is equal to the current value of the Fire die. We say that this card scales with Fire. Note that the die is not rerolled when playing such a card.>This mechanic makes dice control (using cards that can change the values of the dice) crucial, as doing this can drastically change the strengths of other cards. One player might have a deck that is on paper 2x stronger, but if all dice it scales with are 2s, while all of the dice the opponent's deck scales with are 7s, the opponent is still stronger.Did some more work on the AI opponent since a lot of people seem to be playing against it.New gameplay showcase is now up: https://youtu.be/F1p0CdXhxBUComment too long.

>>96601162Why did you alter what I said to something I didn't say?
>>96601251NTA, but I think it was a misunderstanding.
>>96596227More restrictions, instead of just copying abilities the character needs to see the ability or have it used on him/her before the ability can be copied. If the power is the ability to steal abilities than have it be temporary etc. Bonus points if you have a copy villain who fights a team of heroes and gets all of their powers becoming their version of Super Scroll from FF.

>>96608198No shit we're comparing art styles. That's the metric here. If the prompts are shit but the piece is good then the art is well received. You can jerk off to direction and design all you want, fact of the matter is that nobody else cares as long as it results in good final results.
HS and Magic both look like shit now, but HS is supposed to be gay and retarded. Magic isn't, and used to have the best art in TCGs. That's the real issue. HS doesn't even matter because no one here gives a fuck about HS but we all know Magic's art has declined.

about the gulag, does "hotness" even translate into sales? apparently there's all these cool new games and whatnot but the number one game in the bestsellers is flip 7 kek
>>96608176Hotness just means "most active page"; you'll often find games with controversies on the hotness because a lot of bgg's userbase loves giving their opinion on how using Harry Potter on your game is literally being worse than Hitler.
>>96606341Fair enough, if we're approaching it solely by mechanics then a good deal* of co-op games don't change all that much mechanically. I'd argue that a great deal of competitive games don't change all that much between different player counts either. The dynamics change, sure, (as they do in co-op games that balance for higher player counts for that matter) but mechanically you're doing the same thing on your turn.*Of course this excludes the numerous co-op games that have limited information like Hanabi, Sky Team, and The Crew to name a few.

>>96605645OP here, if you want and if I am around for the next one, I'll try and add it to the OP post, and keep it up to date.
I bought a couple of 3D printed retro Land Raiders and that gave me the idea of playing Rogue Trader. I've already played it a few times over the years, but I'd like to get more into it. I own the main rulebook, the Compendium and the Battle Manual (I bought them years ago).Any anons here play RT in 2025? What's your view on the supplementary material, do you think it adds to the game? The way I see, there are like three versions of the game, right?>Vanilla: Main book + Book of the Astronomican>With supplementary stuff: Main book + Compendium, Compilation and Realm of Chaos>Proto 2e: All of the above plus the Battle and Vehicle Manuals, and the Ork booksIs this a fair assessment?The basic vanilla system is not very difficult to run, but it gets unwieldy fast once you start adding White Dwarf stuff. Army lists, vehicle and battle manuals, yay or nay? I don't own beakies, but I've got enough middlehammer Eldar and Space Marines to play pretty big games using the White Dwarf army lists, the two Land Raiders alone are like 1500 points according to the Compendium.So basically, what's the best way to enjoy the game nowadays?(Reposting from >>96607026)
>>96608117Is this one yours? If so, where have you bought it? I know sellers on Temu selling retro LRs but they are PLA prints so the print lines are so extremely visible they sting the eyes.
>>96608228I bought if from Temu, the lines are visible up close but at tabletop distance the Land Raider looks fine imo. And the two Land Raiders costed me 15€ with free shipping, it's a steal.
>>96608254Do you mind posting more pics of yours? I need some encouragement before buying more PLA prints since I was very disappointed with the scenery I bought on Temu some time ago. I'm still waiting for a retro bastion to be delivered tho.
exactly as the title says, please bitch about Retarded Players. this is a No Retarded Player Zone if you are infact a Retarded Player I recommend hanging out in the 5e general
I once played a neutral evil ninja in a good aligned group of demon hunters and the DM tolerated me for some reason.
>>96606254Many things, honestly.A lot of selfish things were said by her almost all the time, behaving like a 5 year old at 35 with 2 kids, the usual.I also been a listener on one of her campaigns and her style was "Drama roleplay with 5 dice rolls for entire campaign, really word heavy with no substance whatsoever."It all started with my friend calling DnD fans shitheads, as a comeback from her calling all GURPS fans some other slur (She was mainly DnD GM).He made me involved.>Didn't exactly prove you wrong with the reaction there either.The only bad thing I did was collecting a fuckton of personal info on her, in case I'll need to retaliate. But after she left, I deleted it all for good.
>>96601492One step at a time. Master what's relevant to your character first. Bring cribnotes/cheat sheets to help you actually put the correct steps in order during play time. Through structured practice, you'll learn and get it. Then, branch out and expand. Make a new character, one with enough similarities you can manage it but also enough differences that it gives you the opportunity to experiment, grow, and learn.
>>96582009in aesthetics you have the term "aura" for the random feelings a work of art produces even if you can't point out what it is that you feel or what's producing it, like an independent level of communication happening there.
>>96605591It depends heavily on how you transmit those issues.I sometimes have explanations for stuff that I won't include until needed because who cares, like how androids work to justify not having to constantly recharge them or relationships between competing factions that aren't active for that particular game. Having someone ask me helps me check if it makes sense and is fun enough to prompt new ideas, but I won't bore people with pointless data.But if you interrupt something like a room description to question meaningless shit I'll ask you to shut up for a minute.
I want to get into pathfinder 2eR, and I really like playing wizards, but Vancian casting perplexes me to no end. Is there some sort of strategy guide? Like... How many fireballs am I supposed to prepare? Combat can come at literally any moment - how am I supposed to be prepared for the hundreds of spontaneous 'roll initiative''s?Am I just supposed to load the fuck up on panic spells and fireballs and use spell substitution to cast everything as a pseudo-ritual when needed? How the hell am I supposed to account for this shit without having 9 mega lethals in the chamber just so I'm not the most useless babyboy in the world during any surprise combat? How do I go back in time and kill Jack Vance to stop Gary Gygax from reading Dying Earth and copying the stupidest magic system available?
>>96606521It annoys MAGA cultists by poking fun at their duo of 'Holy Ones' that should not be mocked or questioned, Trump and Vance.
>>96605539just play prowlers and paragons.
>>96606521Lefties think it owns the chuds. Chuds think it's funny as fuck.
>>96605539In the case of Pathfinder 2E, you will want to get your hands on scrolls, wands, and staves. These items are to wizards as +1 swords are to fighters - they are essential. If you take Magical Crafting you can craft these yourself during downtime (especially useful for scrolls because you can make them in batches of 4). Your int is already high, so crafting is a sensible skill choice. Scrolls, wands, and staves allow you to be prepared for a wider variety of situations and cast more spells in a day. And don't forget that your cantrips are automatically heightened, meaning they are a valid baseline option at all times. Lightning Arc is a popular choice in PF2e, but all damaging cantrips are viable.As others have said in this thread, part of the fun with playing a wizard is planning ahead and trying to predict what tools you will need in the near future. You might also consider spending downtime with your party to gather information about a group or location before trying to tackle it. Playing a wizard well is supposed to make you feel smart, lean into that fantasy and have fun.
Holy fuckin YIKES lmaooo
Why are most wargamers against the idea of playing en plein air?
>>96602089I wouldn't mind playing Little Wars in the garden on a nice day. Moving soldiers around, shooting at them, maybe have a few beers and a cigar.
>>96602089You could somewhere temperate, which isn't the case for me. Oklahoma has roulette weather, so we play inside where the sky won't kill us and the wind won't blow away minis, tokens, terrain, or books. The sun can be hateful here, as can the bugs. Currently there are crickets and bagworm catapillers everywhere.Secondly, if it's nice outside there's other priorities. I'm partial to Pétanque or Skeet/target shooting if it's pleasant out. Tl;dr: not everywhere can be France or Italy.
>>96602871I live in a desert at the base of the mountains. The weather here changes quickly, even if it's a clear calm day, the wind could come up out of nowhere, and I'm not going to risk losing any of my shit like that when I could just be playing on the porch or in in the sunroom
>>96603100War games and role playing evolved out of Wisconsin because people didn't have much to do, and it was their best form of entertainment and socialization while still stimulating their historical predilections. Wargaming is quintessentially something you do to fill your time, not something you revolve your schedule around

Here's another fun one that's being passed aroundCreate a special edition borderless full art galaxy holofoil trading card with holo embossed line art of the character in the provided picture, in the style of an ebay sale photo, 4K, photorealistic, in a real environment. The card features a mana cost, abilities, stats, and text descriptions written in japanese. The card has a base and is placed on a desk. Next to the card is a BANDAl-style toy packaging box with the original artwork. The packaging features two-dimensional flat illustrations. The focus of the image should be on the card. The card is lit so its foiling can be seen.
