>>96598068Currently running a Mystara game going on 11 years playing twice a month with 10 different players. Usually have 5 on average at the table. We were playing every week for 4 years until one of the players ip and decided he wanted to try his hand at DMing 3.5 after reading up on for a few weeks.But anyways we're running with oh no Rules Cyclopedian and oh no Skills and oh no Weapon Mastery and oh no Glantri magic specializations + magic research system and oh no point buy character creation and oh no the Shadow Elf + Dwarf have progressed well beyond their basic classes with the gazateer rules.The Wizard has been peering into outside worlds and even came across The Nexus. Which at some point I'll convert the 3.5 material to Becmi. Oh no.>>96598136I've had this conversation with a Mormon that I lent the 1st trilogy to. Legend of Huma is pretty good though.>>96598930Get back to your Birthright game DD.

They were basically the TOTALLY NOT DRACONIANS GUYS WE SWEAR draconians.Taladas was evidently what they were planning on focusing a lot of work into fleshing out before everything went tits up. It would have been pretty interesting imo without all of the Ansalon BS mucking it up.
Writing General: 'summer days' editionWelcome to /wg/, the thread for all /tg/ related writing. Whether you're plotting your campaign, trying to come up with a character backstory, or just trying to write some setting fluff, this is the place to post it. You don't even have a campaign, just an idea you want to develop? You're welcome here. While the rest of /tg/ is arguing over monstergirl mating and which way rivers are supposed to flow, we're here to help you turn your thoughts into an actual finished product.As the successor to the Storythreads, we're also open to /tg/ related fanfiction (D&D, Warhammer, Battletech, whatever). In fact, if you've written any vaguely /tg/-related short stories, you can try them out here. We also have flash-fiction challenges from time to time.There's a discord for writers herehttps://discord.gg/6AwKHGFThe previous thread can still be found in the archive here>>95441002And finally an archive of /tg/ fiction can be found here:http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Storythread (dead link, but may be resurrected one day)https://2d4chan.org/wiki/Storythread (page missing, wiki still up)Comment too long.

>>96042773Perhaps this is a bit out of pocket for the thread but theirs no other thread for it, can you recommend any good books for world building?Recently I lost all my stuff so I need it all, from how to make a star system to erosion charts.
I guess my batteries are empty. Can't put words down.But taking a break from writing… the guilt will consume me.
>>96589964I just read random visual novels and stuff and use that as a basis for my own ideas
>>96595385Even if you don't write much, or don't like what you're writing, it's good to write a little every day just to stay in the habit. Maybe start another, smaller project, then go back to what you were writing when you feel recharged.
>>96605316Wrote an article for my blog that nobody will read.I know what the issue is: finished some milestone, important pivotal scenes that mark the start of the real conflict in the book. With a lot of mental fixation on these scenes, and them being finished (and hopefully good), all that mental energy is spent.Tension, build-up, release…Yeah, will force myself to just write a bit each day. The energy comes back.

>>96604500If they didnt just introduce a new literalwho in the anime id unironically say we were gonna get another reboot for VG. I super think the games just either really close to EoS or a reboot just by how it plays. Its almost like YGO where a shitload of stuff has kill capacity really early on if you dont have the right out.Bare minimum theres the banlist. Bavsarga will probably be completely dead after it. Maybe theyll share some of the new Lyrical set.New game would be nice too but god dammit I dont want to play as Yuki again. Bring back the ocdonotsteal customs
>>96605403>id unironically say we were gonna get another rebootyou are stupid if you thing vanguard its gonna get another reboot, the game die in the very moment that happen
>>96605403>I super think the games just either really close to EoS or a reboot just by how it playsA reboot? I doubt it. Closest thing to that is that I think DivineZ only has 2 maybe 3 seasons left until another timeskip/cast change and with that they'll probably introduce new mechanics into the game. (like energy and divine skills were)
>>96605403>Bavsarga will probably be completely dead after itI'm from the future and I will tell you that you are wrong
>>96605403Game can't survive another reboot, I'm expecting another jump like DivineZ where we get a brand new mechanic to try and patch holes.

>>96603145i think that they layout is too clean and tidy, with the river cutting through being way to straight and of equal width but that is a very typical problem in city mapmaking these days because the very programs used arent good for approximating the incredibly close and meandering architecture of medieval, renaissance and age of sail cities and the different physical features found in them like small hills, rivers etc
>>96601553I don't know why but the farms in the south east and what appears to be a small patch of wood attracted my attention
>>96603670Thank you, perfect. You got two of the spots that are supposed to draw attention. >>96603514Yeahhhhh it's not great. It's a commission that I'm paying for from my doodles (pic related) so I'm gonna tell the artist to actually lose the straight-line banks of the river.
In a medieval/fantasy setting, I was planning on having a nation that had an abundance of metals at their disposal, and were supposed to be higher "tech"/quality compared to the others(even though magic and stuff exists).How effective or capable would an army be if the main weapons of their troops were crossbows instead of swords, maces, etc? I don't want them far enough along that gunpowder weaponry is the standard loadout, so just how viable *are* crossbows? I'm trying to imagine them like a more modern military, but obviously guns, engines, and the like don't exist and its just armored men with crossbows, ballistae on wheels, deployable cover, repeating variants.
>>96605744Crossbows (which in this case were functionally much more similar to bows than later variants) were used heavily in ancient China, but after the advent of not completely shit armor, crossbows fell out of use as a primary weapon of war in favor of bows since ranged warfare became a numbers game. There was also the repeating crossbow which was more of a personal defensive weapon analogous to a derringer since they had crap range and penetration.Later European crossbows were used as a way to offload the cost of training soldiers onto weaponsmiths since they took less skill to use than bows at the cost of being much more resource intensive to produce and maintain and having a lower firing rate. At that point they were mainly a weapon for sieges, instead of open warfare, where you're going to be dealing with emergency forces with less training and a lot of protracted firing from cover to make up for their low firing rate and incentivize their range and accuracy advantage over bows.Magical weaponry enhancements/magic as an alternative makes any analysis I can offer conditional, but to be frank, absent armor being behind the times or magic making them fire faster or shred armor, specializing in crossbows doesn't make much sense. Like maybe you could sell it if it's a wealthy nation especially concerned with national defense, but that would be it.

She left the server soon after.Honestly, biggest win by blunder.
>>96606152That's a happy ending. Didn't exactly prove you wrong with the reaction there either.What was the initial sign the GM was fucked in the head?
I'm so sick of this one guy in our group. His self-esteem is completely in the gutter, and whenever the dice fuck him over he starts vocally moping about how bad he is in the game. Additionally he's dumb as a sack of bricks and always has the worst understanding of the rules. Similarly if things go his way he starts gloating about how he finally got things done. When he runs games he always undertunes encounters and then mopes about the players being too powerful. And he's the kind of a player who's main interest is in combat and getting things that make his character more powerful, but he's just the worst at it.The other people in the group (who are excellent to play with) don't have nearly as much of a problem with it as I do, and he's one of the founding members though.
I once played a neutral evil ninja in a good aligned group of demon hunters and the DM tolerated me for some reason.

>>96605789I thought of a Cathay expeditionary force led by an old magistrate with libertine tendencies, named Goa Tse Tung. In an effort to recover his lost youth and vitality , the magistrate is on a quest to hunt and kill the most dangerous animals in both the old and new worlds. So that their genitalia might be rendered unto powders and elixirs to increase his potency.Not sure if it's compatible with current Cathay fluff, but I think it is in the spirit of the setting.

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 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?

Vance had nothing to do with RPGs and Gygax left TSR fifteen years before spell substitution was a thing. Blame modern game designers being obtuse about magic-users not being able to "just win">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?Welcome to playing a magic-user circa 1973.

>>96605892Making a low-hanging fruit joke while asking a question that has nothing to do with politics does not actually imply that the person in question thinks about nothing but politics, anon.
>>96605539I don't understand why people have trouble understanding Gygax's implementation of Vancian magic.I personally don't know what kind of system later editions use, but it seems perfectly normal to me that you copy the spells you want to use today into your spellbook and then if they work out, they work out. If not, the dungeon/adventure becomes more interesting.t. 1996 zillenial
