What happened to RPG subcultures?
>>96583523>What happened to RPG subcultures?You got old.
>>96599489Most decent gaming groups are pretty insular. If someone's on Discord or loafing around the LGS begging to join games, there's probably a good reason.
>>96600722Agree, though one of my wisdom teeth came in retarded and had to be yeeted. That's just luck of the draw, though.
>>96583523Everything is a blend of mud nowadays, nothing stays seoarate and insular. Everything needs to include anyone, and anything not suited for everyone needs to change and cater to the lowest common denominator.

>>96601850Not normally, but the Flower Knight expansion has a piece of gear that lets you do so.
Down a player since one of our number left for college, but the rest of the gang got together to resume the campaign this week. Lantern year 22.
I sadly don't really get to play KDM much, but finally got this resin guy painted up for a skirmish warband.
>>96606605Ran out of steam a bit near the end, but I think he looks eye catching enough.
>>96606605>>96606608that's really good, care to share your method for the armor ? will you coat it in gloss to make it look like porcelain ?
Is there a market for a dark, edgy, horror-tinged urban fantasy game now that World of Darkness kinda alienated everyone?
>>96606694Make the rules free. Make the expansions editions to the base ruleset so they can't mix. Make the base ruleset compatible to each edition whenever you up the version (ex: version 1.0.1.2 -> 1.1.2.2)Let people play what they want. Add in flexibility whenever they want to do something copywrited like movies and such that you cannot supplement legally.

>>96606383That can mean a variety of things, you do know that, right?>>96606394TBF republican isn't necessarily wrong. It's a possible interpretation, though I admit it's a bit retarded to state that that's the ONLY possible interpretation.I'm surprised no one's made any comment on the schizo team composition for my character, but I digress.
>>96605515I mostly agree, but hear me out: Saliva < Ambrosia >This is better than Semen < Ambrosia because that is a "win more" ability, by the time you are swapping Semen all you are getting is less unsatisfied 'customers' while kissing the hand (with a drop of spit) can be an eccentric greeting.Semen < Mutate>This feels "symbolically right" because when the semen enters the egg the actual mutations happen, this just makes your sperm into nanomachines capable of changing life according to your will>Unless it's uncontrolled mutation, then disregard.Blood < Reanimate>This also feels symbolically right.

Does you're character battle with intrapersonal conflict?
>>96605379Obviously not.
>>96605379>>96605502Yes it was because people immediately started spamming it with the following replies>yes>no>maybe >I don't know >can you repeat the question
>>96605512Obviously not.
>>96604198That's quite a thing to say out of nowhere. Do you need to talk about it?
>>96600850Honestly, it depends on the character and if it even comes up. I have a warlock in 5e spelljammer thats pretty much just captain tyler, but over the course of the game has come to realise that he's only captain of the ship cause A) The bard, who probably would have been captain left to go fix the space elves and B) The fighter who is pretty much the party leader cant physically sit in the seat. But it never really came up drama wise as of yet. So he's just content to stand next to fighter when he talks cause the man has absolutely zero charisma despite looking like a mandalorian.My 2e Triggerbrand Gunslinger though, He's basically Solid Snake who, due to his upbringing, has no clue how emotions work so he's constantly battling between what he thinks he wants, what he ACTUALLY wants and whats the most rational thing to stay alive. Bro has started using "Need to pay rent" as an code for "I wanna go home and see my friend who i still need to figure out if im in love with or not", its kind of hilarious. He's hopelessly in love with her, he just doesnt know it and is terrified.

>>96606048You still plan on the Wonderswan games jump at some point?
>>96606089All at once.>>96606104I plan on lots of things, but fewer and fewer of those things are actually happening as I get older.
>>96606575Stop fossilizing! Stop fossilizing! Stop fossilizing! Stop fossilizing!
>>96606679Fossilizing is based.
>>96606679Believe me, I'm trying.
Summon the clans, inform the guilds, and pop the casks, it's dwarf time.
>>96539933That one's going in the book.
>>96555736I kinda did this, with a little bit of goblin sprinkled on top, but they're not dwarves because it's a furfag setting.
>>96606216It's either Khuzdul or Khazalid. Of the two Khazalid might actually be more "complete" since the dwarves in LotR were notoriously secret about their language.
>>96570544Ganon-Dorf
I really like this hairdo for female dwarves. Also it is a pretty nice solution to the whole dumb "Female dwarves have beards" matter. Nah, it's just a traditional hairstyle but I get the misunderstanding by you tall'uns
Now that the dusk has settled, what did we REALLY think about Dungeons & Dragons: 4th edition?
>>96601071You're the only person that uses that term. Please shut the fuck up. It's a wonder you haven't been permabanned from /tg/ with how insistent you are on shitting the place up.
>>96601418NTA, but:> Ivory Tower DesignIs how Cook described the 3.0 practice of not telling players what each ability is good for and leaving them to figure it out and optimise.And> 4rrieHas been used regularly on this board for 4e fans since at least 2010.https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/8284419/#q8284419Both terms are pretty old and known, though a lot of idiots don't know what Ivory Tower Game Design means, and clearly never read the article. >>96594954
Ivory Tower of Game Design> There's a third concept that we took from Magic-style rules design, though. Only with six years of hindsight do I call the concept "Ivory Tower Game Design." (Perhaps a bit of misnomer, but it's got a ring to it.) This is the approach we took in 3rd Edition: basically just laying out the rules without a lot of advice or help. This strategy relates tangentially to the second point above. The idea here is that the game just gives the rules, and players figure out the ins and outs for themselves -- players are rewarded for achieving mastery of the rules and making good choices rather than poor ones.> Perhaps as is obvious from the name I’ve coined for this rules writing style, I no longer think this is entirely a good idea. I was just reading a passage from a recent book, and I found it rather obtuse. But it wasn’t the writer’s fault. He was just following the lead the core books offered him. Nevertheless, the whole thing would have been much better if the writer had just broken through the barrier this kind of design sets up between designer and player and just told the reader what the heck he was talking about.>To continue to use the simplistic example above, the Toughness feat could have been written to make it clear that it was for 1st-level elf wizards (where it is likely to give them a 100 percent increase in hit points). It’s also handy when you know you’re playing a one-shot session with 1st-level characters, like at a convention (you sure don’t want to take item creation feats in such an instance, for example).>Ivory Tower Game Design requires a two-step process on the part of the reader. You read the rule, and then you think about how it fits in with the rest of the game. There’s a moment of understanding, and then a moment of comprehension. That’s not a terrible thing, but neither is just providing the reader with both steps, at least some of the time.https://minmaxforum.com/index.php?topic=13812.0
>>96598574>what -actually- pissed people off.Are you writing D&D? If not, it really shouldn't matter because your game will be sold to a very niche market and will liveHowever if you want the real truth of it:1. People didn't like that Martials and Casters played similarly2. People didn't like the way the game was presented and how it was gamified3. People really, REALLY didn't like healing surges, and short-rest mechanics are still one of the most bitched about things today even though short rests in 5e are 20x as prohibitive.4. Skill challenges sucked.5. Grid-mandated combat cut a lot of people out.
>>96603533Ironically almost no games have ever actually learned from OTGD's mistakes properly. The two paths I've seen have been>Make something so simple it cannot be misunderstood>Make something so single-use it cannot ever be misusedWhich just result in increasingly less fun mechanics to toy with. The solution all along was to simply write a guide. Most designers suck stunning amounts of ass at understanding their own games, but even then you can just hire some autist who can figure out the most optimal way to beat a given encounter within 30 seconds of seeing it. Hell most of them do it for free.

>>96606050>>96606096>>96606304Are they really necessary for Omega? I'm asking because I wouldn't know what to take out to include these. Besides, the deck already works pretty well.
>>96606379I don't know. Introducing the chance to brick on a black EX3 rookie from one line and this champion of the other seems like a bad idea.
>>96606379Niche uses really. Raid Greymon could be used to hit floodgates but BT17 already did that while keeping the rookie's name and already nobody runs that. Jamming Garurumon might be useful if they ever lose their bullshit option that replays any rookies they launch at security. I think Date is the best Omni support this set.
>>96606399I will never understand how digica players think about consistency and bricking. It's irrational in a way I didn't think was possible. You can literally force feed the most brain dead top-tier deck in existence to them, complete with rolling waves of support any other deck would drool over, and they'll go "EW NO WHAT IF PUTTING THIS INCREDIBLE CARD IN MY DECK MADE ME BRICK WITH THESE THREE SHITTY BLACK ROOKIES I PLAY???"
>>96606548When you get this much support your main concerns shift more towards consistency of effects rather than abundance or even power levels.
Would you rather be a Tiefling or an Aasimar?
How do you pronounce Aasimar because when I read it, it sounds like ASMR
>>96605047Az-ih-mar.
>>96593107Neat, definitely saving that. Though I also tend to tie how an Aasimar looks based on where the celestial bloodline comes from. There can be some downright Be Not Afraid looking Aasimar in my world.
>>96598167Good question, better start a harem with three Tiefling wives to find out faster.
>>96601817They made Aasimar too dweeby and removed all flavor from them for 2024Which is funny when one of the biggest pieces of D&D media recently was BG3 with the rip-and-tear-smite-evil Dame Aylin, like why not lead with her instead of the scrawny nerds in the rulebook
Tell us about the minions of choice of your BBEG.
Bio-Robots
Smelly, ugly, dumb porcs.
My BBEG's Demogorgon, so he has a TON of minions.
>>96606444Ultimately the BBEG of our campaign is a Fey Queen who's pissed off that we helped her daughter escape an arranged marriage, and so far her minions have been the most Sailor Moon spread of fey pretty-boys and turbo-bitch monsters. Before you ask, yes, our DM is a woman.Not gonna lie, for as faggoty as it sounds on paper, it's worked surprisingly well so far. You can make some pretty unique and fucked up henchmen from fey and their chimeric "pet" monsters.
>WOTC says evil races are no longer a thing>2025+>still no official Gnoll raceWhy? are they stupid and lazy? i need it to be official as a lot of DM's are allergic to anything homebrew (unless they do it to fuck over players)
>>96573830Do you REALLY want gnolls to get massacred the same way minotaurs were?
>>96573830>>2025+>>still no official Gnoll raceOrcs of Thar is from 1988Complete Book of Humanoids is from 1993
>>96583149>all black people are violent, sadistic, backwards, inhumans at times descended from literal hellspawnSo where's the lie?
>>96587273well, art imitates life
>>96606637D&D orcs were more Norse than black anyway.
How realistic is your waifu?
>>96606361Not canon.Also, black eyes makes it difficult to reflect their desire for human males like canon eldar here: >>96598825
