>>96767498I don't know if people actually read a general from the first post onwards and give up if they don't like the first 10 or so posts.Generals usually have people popping in and asking or saying something, getting replies, and moving on. Side discussions is the point of having a general.>>96767597then maybe the osrg shouldn't be a thread permanently maintained, it doesn't change things about this one
>>96767498>the previous threads were fine lmao how many years in a decade?
>>96767461speaking as a lurker here, that is somewhat interested in nsr systems but doesnt have much experience i am sure there are more people that lurk the general like this.My personal experience is reading from the first post but skimming over troll posting and all the ACKS arguements.Don't let the general buckle under the weight of the osr puritans, ACKS shilling and they will eventually tire and leave, at least if people stop engaging them
>>96768412>greetings fellow kids >I'm just a regular passerby but my opinion aligns with the troll by sheer coincidence
>>96768412I don't mind random discussions about whatever, I don't think they ruin the thread. But they hide how little connection there is between the actual on topic posts. In the 3 threads we had I had small exchanges about Mothership and Black Sword Hack, and ignored posts for 4 or 5 other systems. It makes sense, no one has to run the things I like running or would like to run, but that comes from having so few actual posters that there's barely any common ground itt.

>>96767486I play only bad colors
>>96764836Anyone got an updated one?
>>96768381I mean i would say its not, it was just a misunderstanding that they got very heated about.>inquire if they have certain cards and price etc as they dont post singles on their site>they call me a couple days later saying to come to the store to pick them up>go down, they pulled like half the list, charged me $100.>said sorry but I was just seeing what you exactly had and what the price was>guy gets quite heated, says why did I ask then? I wasted his time>find out they dont have any kind of tracking or record keeping of their singles so they only do pick lists and expect you to buy it once its picked>apologize for the misunderstanding but I won't be buying the cards due to price and only having half the set and none of the essential cards>next time I go in a different guy at the register mentions I have a note on my account, doesnt say what, but literally looks at me and goes "oh..so you're THAT anon huh?"So yeah my fault i guess for not understanding what a pick list was but it was never explained to me that thats how they operate
>>96768248It doesn't matter its an enchantment deck
>>96768417I highly doubt any of that happened and you were just fun posting IRL during a game which made the other players uncomfortable.
>Player whines about not having a major role in the story>He's playing a generic human fighterHow do you deal with players like this? I let already let him get drunk and pick fights when he visits taverns, what more do martial players want?
>>96766873>>96766916>>96766926>>96766931>>96766939>>96766936Male human fighters can have a ton of backstory and flavor. I've made a human fighter that is the son of ancient royalty for instance, and has a hint of a romantic pairing with a mysterious girl he's had a crush on ever since he met her when he was six. But even the classic "farmerboy turned soldier" male human fighter can have excellent backstories. I mean hell, look at Luke Skywalker from Star Wars.>>96767018Naw, I can confirm from playing said male human fighter, who I've given around a millennia of backstory surrounding the circumstance of his family - I've only had the story been engaged with once. I found them pretty fun to play out of battle regardless, since that's just personality and character, but once you get into a fight it's mostly just spamming the attack button.
>>96768295>Male human fighters can have a ton of backstory and flavorKey word "can"Guess what doesn't happen in 9 out of 10 cases.
>>96768295Besides, I don't give a flying fuck about backstories, I want a player who isn't sitting by the table, doing fuck all and having to be almost forced to speak up or participate. Why even occupying the spot, if you don't plan to play?
>>96768310This, what most male human fighter fags don't realize is that the stereotype "fighters are boring" doesn't come from the class. It comes from years of the most boring people you know playing fighters.I'm not even talking about a lack of backstory, because that really doesn't matter. But a total lack of attention, initiative or involvement. Mostfighterfags just exist at a table to bloat the enemy CR limit and nothing else
With this type of playoid you have to basically prompt them for specific plot details/input which will either nudge them to get proactive or admit they're just being whiny for the sake of being disruptive. Ask them to fill in a plot detail - eg tell the group that the ragged beggar they encounter looks familiar and then ask the player in question who he is(eg they could say the beggar is their former fencing instructor or long-lost brother or whatever). Then you're off to the races. This is also something I do with the muh realism/anti-metagaming/lone wolf faggots. EG I'll ask the players in session one to explain how they became adventuring companions and what their first quest pre-campaign was like. This just totally heads off the people who want to whine about how their character doesn't trust the others yet.

Should Space Marines be made more common? These mythical warriors of only 1 million or so total spread thin throughout the Imperium does NOT match up with what we actually see, which is the Astartes showing up in large numbers to even minor conflicts and dying in large numbers as well.

I haven't messed around with any of the newer Water stuff. Is there anything among it that could work well in Gishki?
I seriously downplayed the importance of this card for a Witchcrafter kit until I got back onto the Witchcrafter grindset. It should be no surprise that a card that gives you instant access to your main deck bosses in response to getting ash'd is good, but just being able to put Haine on the field to insulate you from stuff like Imperm and Veiler while you're setting up is pretty freaking amazing. I can probably stand to make the Witchcrafter parts of my deck a lot more compact because of this card.

I am curious how an appearance build would work. From what I can tell if you had the Black Claw martial arts you could get it up to 8, at least for a single action. You'd probably want to go Dreaming Pearl instead though...Totally useless but...Outrage-Kindling Cry - 1 appearance for the rest of the fight, 10m 1wpAwakened Carnal Demiurge - 1 appearance, -1 enemy resolve committed, 5m 1wp.Thousand Courtesan Ways, 1 appearance, 5m scene long.How sexy can we get I wonder.
Picking Resistance as Supernal is tasty because it's advantageous in a combat situation, but it strikes me as pretty boring and niche otherwise. Am I wrong in this? Can Supernal Resistance be cool and flavorful?

>>96766499>>96767322>>96767675Thanks, this is helpful. Follow up question: is there an obvious perceivable difference between arcane and divine magic, or is that more of a hyper-specific backend information kind of thing? Basically, what I'm asking is if the average uneducated peasant, or the average middle-class show-owning merchant or skilled craftsman would see someone cast a spell, would their response be...>That person is dressed like a mage, so they must be doing mage stuff.>That person is dressed like a priest, so they must be doing priest stuff.>That person is wearing normal clothes, so I have no idea what they're doing but its some kind of magic.Or would they be able to kind of instinctively distinguish between a person in plain clothes casting arcane or divine spells, kind of instinctively based on how the spells look or feel? Even if they are not necessarily able to identify the spell itself.
Do we have any updates on when the Swashbuckler Subclass for the Rogue will be reprinted? It was in the Playtest UA before 5e.24 came out and I thought it was pretty neat, but I don't recall us getting any information on how it scored before they decided to put the Psionic Subclasses in.
>>96768221That's up to the DM, but it's standard fantasy fare that the distinction be apparent. But ultimately even beyond arcane/divine, each individual spellcaster could look and feel different, or at least subclasses. The illusionist whose spells all look like purple translucent cards vs the sorcerer doing draconic stuff full of runes and sigils or his skin tatoos glowing etc
>>96767322>the Eldrtich Blast spell could only be obtained from a Pact.And that isn't even true, because lore bards, Magic Initiate and Spell Sniper exists, and the later doesn't necessarily involve a pact of any kind.>>96768221It's very individual. The same spell may look different even with the casters of same class, but I would assume divine magic would involve actual prayers instead of nonsense words, and most likely holy symbols (because who even uses actual material components anymore?). Similarly, bard spellcasting may involve music, and sorcerers may use less elaborate components than wizards.Warlocks and clerics may be amusingly similar in their casting, though.
>>96768354>And that isn't even true, because lore bards, Magic Initiate and Spell Sniper exists, and the later doesn't necessarily involve a pact of any kind.Right! I forgot that those were options in 2014 D&D, so yeah that muddies the water even more in that game. 2024 ***so far*** its not possible to get Eldrtich Blast without being a Warlock.
