>>96647284>>96719984Wasn't there a WoD game which was basically: superheroes start appearing at the beginning of the millenium, but it's a grimdark world, so they are very low powered?Called "Aberrant" or something like that.
>>96722383Aberrant is neither tied to the WoD nor particularly low-powered; individual characters can be, but the game scales. Aberrant also takes place in the near future.Having looked into the setting, I would use something flexible, like OVA, Prowlers & Paragons, or Mythic d6. Based on the gameplay I watched, I think something like Fabula Ultima might work.BTW, someone looking for low-powered supers should check out Dark Times or Watchdogs of Killcade>>96664055I agree with B&B. Shoot & Loot should also work. Both games create random weapons and have cover systems. B&B is crunchier, S&L is based loosely on PbtA but isn't as structured, so it plays faster.p0jk0
>>96721100That's annoying, how long are they going to keep it like that?
>>96728179Probably forever, since it's less work than actually fixing the problem.
>>96728650Of course. What exactly 'happened', BTW? I never looked into the details.

>>96727839>Tomb of the Serpent King is great for showing examples of things that come up during gameplayIt's not good for that either. It's pedantic, soulless, boring, railroady, and it does that in attempt to offer a solution for a problem that doesn't exist in the first place: People can just learn by playing the actual game, no need for training wheels.
>>96728128>the way it handles attack priority/parries is poorly explained Indeed.>and gets messy when there are multiple combatants, and especially when individual fighters are fighting as multiple "men".Agree, the part on the effects of weapon length/speed was meant to be used for 1vs1 combat. But you can still use the 2d6 tables for weapons vs armour while ignoring weapon length.
>>96728128Sorry, missed this part.>I also don't like how it shits all over spears and makes Flails OP as fuck but it's easy to tweak the numbers I guess.Yeah, there's a couple of things that could be tweaked, but remember that spears can be used against charges for double damage, thrown, and used with a shield, so they get lots of compensation for the crappy attack thresholds.(And if I remember correctly, they also get a big bonus against prone targets in plate armor.)

Finished the coat of arms of Leopoldville. I've used the structure of the Free Congo coat of arms, but changed the central part with an iguanodon on a jungle, blue background with two lines representing the King's River and a yellow star as a "bright future". I may have to add a new motto, though. Any ideas?
>>96732740Kek that's gorgeous. > Motto? “Il suffit d’oser pour réussir”? All it takes to succeed is to dare. > picrelBit of a representation of how the Antagonist sides would look like, probably at least 5~6 turns in. In this case from the Protagonist's PoV you'd want to dig Secondary Cave 2 right on your next turn, unless you are 100% convinced its a Trap for some reason. Despite having two unrevealed Encounter that could potentially hurt a lot, the Antagonist has only 5 Silver available, so its not impossible that he'll be even completely unable to reveal them if they are more expensive than that. Even without the Followers necessary to avoid or discard those Encounters, Digging on your first action as the Protagonist would be a good move, at least if you have 4~5 cards in Hand. Even if you faceplant into something you can't avoid, odds are at this cost the Encounter steps are going to be End the Dig. You then have the rest of your 3 Actions that turn to figure out how to go through (although, Digging last Action is always a bad idea).
>>96733123>“Il suffit d’oser pour réussir”? All it takes to succeed is to dare.Neat. Something like this, then.

>>96732918>had a Session 0 and set expectations for the gameI had thought I did that? I told them the world was mostly "horror" (and we've talked some about "temptations"), so they'd be pitted against liches and demons and hags and devils. The swamp-hag is just one of the minor main baddies.I guess I expected 1 or 2 of the players to be like "Oh we totally need armor and this is easy" and that the other players would be like "Um.... easy because it's killing a baby?" But instead all of them landed on the first one.Maybe they are just fucking with me because the next session is next week. I just don't know how to be ready if they are indeed NOT fucking with me. >>967329415e 2024 mostly, though players have been taking 2014 spells too. We just said everyone is "a good guy" because eventually the campaign is goinig to deal with a devil wanting the players to help conquer a good kingdom. Players are an evoker, a ranger/fighter, an assassin, and a war cleric of Tyr.
>>96733039Did the new 5e edition remove alignments? Because I'd be tapping that sign if it's still got them. Even if the players are retarded and are totally buying this chick at face value, their character's morals are probably gonna be a bit conflicted. Hard to imagine murdering an entire family for personal gain without hesitation as anything but an evil action. Especially if the baby is the only one who's supposed to be the BBEG.
>>96732957That might be the best "out" if they actually go through with it. Add to the "horror" element, the "beautiful magic woman" fashions a necklace out of the infant carcass and wears it around her neck.>Sleep with her now, incels!Maybe it also causes Fear on them anytime they think of harming the hag.

Weren't there design rules for custom 'Nids?
>>96723173Smaller bases mean easier to hit with template weapons though. It’s not all good. I find that most modeling for advantage works the same way, kinda always a double edged sword. The cheese would happen if you tried to pick and choose, for instance, you put all your space marines on 32mm, but then put the power fist sergeant on a 25mm hereby making him easier to squeeze around. You could go the other way too, using one large base to block movement or to make deep strikes easier.
What're some fun, comfy, noteworthy, or epic moments you've had pre-5th Edition, lads?>>96721118>>96723383Word, thanks guys. It's been years since it came up.You also remind me of one of my first tournaments where That Kid "mounted" his Emperor's Champion on a 40mm base (as in ALREADY HAD THE MODEL ON A 25) glued the 25 to the middle of the 40mm, and slapped on some static grass the night before. The LGS guys judging the tourney handed him a pair of clippers, told him to fix it or fuck off, and he almost cried right then and there. >picrel MFWGood times, good times.>>96721966Checked for comfy table arrangements. We didn't count scatter, just added it once larger terrain was placed. But using your larger table measurement, it makes a lot more sense. Still baffling that WarmaHordes players spent so much time looking at felt blobs. lol

Mork Borg has spawned a plethora of spin-offs using the same system. I was thinking about buying a book and running it, but my first book would be Cy Borg because cyberpunk is my favorite. That aside, what should I expect from the actual rules that run the game, and your own experiences with it?

I like the fun graphic design. Don't know how it would play. Looks like it would turn into those parts of Monty Python movies where mucky peasants are being comically miserable. Still that's a fun setting. I'd probably port all the funny tables into a different system and play the setting that way. Though the MB system seems fun so long as you are ok with making shit up on the fly
>>96705828>picrelWell, guess what. Just like with that leftist cyberpunk game where there was similar retarded bit "corpos and police are enemy, you should not play on their side" (which i think comes from the same people as well) there is literally nothig that can stop you, other than other players not allowing it. Stop treating shit like vidya where everything is hardcoded according to what designers want. You can literally take a marker or corrector pen and delete the passage you don't like from the rulebook, and they cant do shit to stop you. Only thing that is important is the crunch, and basic idea of the setting. fluff is purely matter of consensus between players. game provides framework, not holy scripture. Especially considering that you are provided only with generic descriptions and are supposed to make your own shit, its not like you have dozen splatbooks describing every city, npc and quest. You are filling in the details anyway , so fill it with what you and your group wants. Only thing that really matters in this game are rules and general feel of it. rest is up to you. Setting details are supposd to be timesavers for shit you dont want to make up yourself rather than hardcoded set in stone things you are not allowed to mess with. That being said crunch and setting details in borg are nothing to write home about the shit is throughly forgettable. Only think enjoy from them is the last war, because its a ww1 skirmish, and im a sucker for that shit, especially with wga cheap ww1 plastics together with shit from warlord 28mm sprue sales .

I would like to talk about Draw Steel, a grid-based tactical combat RPG, loosely inspired by D&D 4e.I just played some combats at level 8, and I really have to say: the Silencing weapon seems a little too good for its ability to shut down a plurality of level 9+ leaders and solos. Between the soulraker hivequeen, the fire giant chief, the war dog taxiarch, Aurumvas, Strategos Alkestis, the meteor dragon, Count Rhodar von Glauer, the lich, and Ajax the Invincible, only the fire giant chief and Strategos Alkestis are not reliant on magic-keyworded abilities. Everyone else here suffers an unceremonious shutdown from a Silencing weapon.https://steelcompendium.io/compendium/main/Rules/Chapters/Downtime%20Projects/#stop-right-thereIt feels a little silly for Ajax to be unable to swing his Blade of the Gol King just because it is magic-keyworded. Yes, he has more turns, but losing even one turn is bad for tempo.https://steelcompendium.io/compendium/main/Bestiary/Monsters/Monsters/Ajax%20the%20Invincible/Ajax%20the%20Invincible/#tactical-stance-ajax-featureVictims of a Silencing weapon cannot even free strike because their free strikes inherit keywords from their signature ability.https://steelcompendium.io/compendium/main/Bestiary/Monsters/Draw%20Steel%20Monsters%20-%20Unlinked/#creature-free-strikesTier 3 results are not that uncommon at 3rd echelon and above, due to simple dice math. (This is to say nothing of the level 9 tactician's Grandmaster of Arms, which can get out of hand with the Rapid-Fire kit's Two Shot.)https://steelcompendium.io/compendium/main/Rules/Classes/Tactician/#grandmaster-of-armshttps://steelcompendium.io/compendium/main/Rules/Kits/Rapid%20Fire/#two-shotComment too long.

>>96729973You're the one whose irrationally angry about the truth, desu yo.
>>96729473I think that Draw Steel and D&D 4e are both decent games. I would not call one outright better than the other. I play and run both nowadays.Draw Steel has better out-of-the-box, non-house-ruled game balance than D&D 4e, I think. Draw Steel has a more constrained optimization floors and optimization ceiling, and characters are significantly easier to build. Draw Steel's minions and solos work better than 4e's, in my opinion, and I find the Malice mechanic interesting.
I find the Bloodbound Band strange from a mechanical perspective. First of all, it is technically treasure "armor" in that it grants a non-stacking +6/+12/+21 Stamina; there is nothing wrong with this.https://steelcompendium.io/compendium/main/Rules/Treasures/Leveled%20Treasures/Other%20Leveled%20Treasures/Bloodbound%20Band/Suppose a four-PC party has Bloodbound Bands, all bonded to one another.If one PC gets pushed 1 square into another PC, both take 1 damage, and then the splash triggers on three PCs twice.If two PCs each get pushed 1 square into one another, both take 2 damage, and then the splash triggers on three PCs four times.On the other hand, I have found the Bloodbound Band very popular at level 5+ simply because it grants a global damage immunity 2. The metagame tends to be equipping a Bloodbound Band just for that, unbonded. Indeed, when I ran Draw Steel at level 5 for four players, three out of four them wore a Bloodbound Band, unbonded; the only reason why the fourth PC did not have a Bloodbound Band was because they were a talent with Steel Ward.https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96497917/#96497917Atop all this, the 9th-level benefit seems too situational to me. One PC still ends up dying anyway, and the party has just lost a 450-project-point treasure. It would have taken only a 90-point consumable to resurrect a dead PC during a respite.https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96497917/#96497917Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>96732877Aside from the "just use the Bands only at level 5+, unbonded" strategy, maybe it is better to bond only the highest-Recovery-value PC and the lowest-Recovery-value PC. This way, they can still gain some benefit out of bonding, while not being as inconvenienced by 1-damage splashing from collisions and other little damage pings.
