>>96911479ignoring this gay larp post, what kind of questions would you guys ask with frankie peanuts on the board?>are you going to counterspell me?doesn't work because if they just say yes then they'll do iti'm thinking:>will you activate mana abilities this turn?because if they say yes, they'll still have the chance to counterspell you, but at least they'll have to fully tap down by end of turn
>>96911591if they answer yes to counterspell you can play something else thats cheap and force them to use it. making them counterspell a 1 drop or flashback shit instead of your big combo pieces is worth it. And if they say "no" then you can cast it safely
>>96911591The problem is there's no consequence for not doing it, since obviously you could ask a nondeterministic question and force them to violate it (e.g. they say "yes" then you just pass turn). That in-turn opens a can of worms of things you can append when your answer is forced to only be yes/no.
>>96911666>The problem is there's no consequence for not doing it, since obviously you could ask a nondeterministic question and force them to violate it (e.g. they say "yes" then you just pass turn)you're not really thinking about it in the right way, the question isn't binding them to violate the rules, it's a promise to fulfill to the best of their abilities.If I say "will you counterspell my next spell?" and they say "yes", they have to counter whatever you play next, even if it's a shitty spell they don't want to counter. If they say "No", they have committed to not being able to counter you. So you can play a combo with impunity.Forcing them to violate it (like asking "will you attack?" and then goading them after they say "no") is pointless yeah but that doesn't mean its not powerful to lock in opponents to certain lines of play.

People always shit on 4e, but at least it gave us cantrips so spell-casters wouldn't be totally worthless at low levels, something that many future tabletops stole from it...
>>96909452It also had a set of Diablo and WoW supplements for it too.
>>96909321First, you need to understand that when people say it's like wow that's a metonym meaning "it's like a vidya rpg". Wow is just one example of a vidya rpg, though the biggest and best known at the time 4e was released.Second, I'm not your web valet. My goal was to show that the 4e designers themselves said it was like vidya contradicting the anon, maybe even you, who was implying that claims of similarities were invalid. The similarities are there regardless of the designers being aware of them. That the designers say this was a deliberate goal on their part just amplifies the anon's wrongness. If you want particular details of similarities that players have found over the years do a websearch.Dismissing those quotes as wishy washy is disingenuous when only one of them mentions being told what to do, and the first says "the lessons we learn from online games are going to be the most obvious". You're coming at this in bad faith and you're still asking me to provide sources for you. That's rude. Do it yourself.>>96909452>No that's 3E. Looked at Fallout and Everquest.Interesting. I very briefly played Everquest, well after it's original release, never played a single Fallout game so I can't comment on that, but I don't see 3e being similar to Everquest, certainly not as obvious as the relationship between 4e, wow and diablo.
>>96909669You said in >>96909253 that you played the game and decided for yourself that it felt like a video game. What exactly felt like a video game?

delicious brown elves have perfected an highly agile and acrobatic fighting style enhanced with magical protection and thus do not use traditional armor
>>96911576Reminder to jerk off BEFORE posting.It would make more sense for them to be aware of their "delicious" status and develop warrior culture that leverages aesthetics and elements of eroticism to gain advantage in combat.Something like developing an intentionally-sensual fighting style, which combines flashy blade-dancing moves with scant clothing to deliver performance that borders on being erotic.The result works to distract and confuse the opponent, making them prey to mistakes and hesitation.Or, if they lose, make seduction easier, convincing said opponent to spare them in exchange for submitting to the carnal desires that they themselves have caused.Which serves to give a second change to finish the job during intercourse with the help of the assassin training.Suddenly, this is no longer mere coomer bait, but a curious sort of people that combine sex and violence into a strange and exciting mix. Likely natural-born assassins, courtesans, and spies, or anything in between.tl;dr coomer bait can be made interesting, you simply choose not to make it such.

I need an idea for what (non magical) class would best embody a childish or autistic characterexample:a homebody type personality who is not retarded or unintelligent but is ‘simple’ and while fully capable, prefers childish hobbiesMy idea is either a non-flashy swashbuckler or prankster type Rogue who enjoys simple childish pranks and is able to weaponize that spirit just enough to become an adventurer
>>96911593a tardo personality has nothing to do with any of that and anything could apply to such a person.>quiet but competant guy with strange hobbyis not a class.
Is there even a way to do romance with an NPC without it being cringe as fuck?In my experience, it worked fine between players, but every attempt to do that with an NPC was dropped pretty fast.
>>96908629Make it then.
My best experience with it was when I was a member of a game who's storyteller (yeah it was WOD) ran side sessions for down time activity. We'd have a main session that was full of action and fun and a Side session that was mainly dedicated to fun. It was in one of the main sessions I met the character of Ruby. A wonderful changling woman who had such a zest for life... I would only interact with this character in the side sessions, Me and My storyteller basically treated it like a dating sim.Then that character Died while his Girlfriend was kidnapped by unforseen forces, and after that The Dating Sim went to 3 fat chicks of which my Story Teller said "You don't get to Roll." and I ERP in my leisure, so I traumatized everyone because I couldn't get my classic romance story, because I am Top 50 Retard

My friend group is picking one of each of the legion starters tomorrow. Is there a way to build each for recon games? Do they have set lists included in the box or is there somewhere I can see some type of demo lists for the contents?
>>96872188Nah that would be Rey Mary Sue
>>96911107All the new Starter sets contain a list fit for an initiation game. They are not perfectly balanced for a "real" recon game as Empire and GAR are both above the 600pts limit while Rebel and CIS are below but they are matched well enough in power level and activation counts. What's cool about these starter list is that they use all the model in the box and gives most of them upgrades which helps with grasping the rules.>>96909561Your minis should mostly be good (except for Palpatine and IRG, rip in pieces) but you may need to print new cards and you'll need:>circles with a diameter of 2 inches for objectives>range ruler or measuring tape for the 3-inches contesting distance and some other rules

Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.Thread question: What do you want there to be in the additional 27 pages of the new Basic Set?

>>96911451Not the other anon but I really like what's going on there
>>96911451Dall-E actually reads the style portion of your prompt; you have to ride herd on it to get the characters and action you want though. Kind of a funhouse mirror of GPT.The fun thing, with Dall-E (and with perchance's generator), is you'll sometime get slightly different styles from the same prompt, and with (up to) 4 gens per prompt, they're right there for you to pick and choose.
>>96911517The bottom style is particularly striking. If I knew what I was doing, I could write a longer, more detailed style description to consistently replicate it. But it'd likely take up half the prompt box's character limit.

How do I write a villain who is always two steps ahead?
>>96910674>>>/lit/
>>96910674In RPG terms, you do realise you can hear the poor fucking players planning, right? Just make up some bullshit about your villain reading body language like a bene gesseret or picking up bullshit clues like Adam West Batman, or whenever they announce an action, go I KNEWWWWW YOU WOULD DO THAT! like Stallone's Dredd.
>>96910782Does every thread on this board need to require the words "in my ttrpg"?>>96910674Anyway, this is a difficult thing if you're stupid. I mean that genuinely, it will be hard for you to write smart characters if you yourself aren't smart. But assuming you're the GM, which you should be, you probably already have a rough idea for a story outline written. If this is the case then congrats! Your villain should now know more about the steps they need to take than the players do. The problem is making this seem fair to the players. You can't just have your evil Black Knight go do the plot without your players, but you can have him subvert their expectations from time to time.While I'm begrudging the retard who is immediately directing you to /lit/ because he cries about half the threads on here, he is partially right, read a few books to gauge characters or their methods that can be similar to what you want from your villain. Have your villain be smart, have them slight the players in tricksy ways, have one dungeon where they found out the important artefact has already been taken (but assuage the players by ensuring they still earned loot of some sort). I'm not sure how to fully help you, because I don't know your game system or story, but I'll believe in the best for you & guess you can glean some ideas from this already.
>>96911538> Does every thread on this board need to require the words "in my ttrpg"?It is admittedly different preparing a villain for an rpg as opposed to writing them for a a book, if only because suspension of disbelief regarding “villain was prepared for that exact thing you just did” is a mite harder to pull on a person sitting in front of you compared to a passive outside observer like a reader

Finally got to play my first game the other day. I brought all the terrain and rules needed for the full game but I realized pretty much instantly we would stick to the starter set cause damn there is a lot of shit to keep track of. Still was a ton of fun.

>>96906305"Oh boy, another castle team"Area tokens were a mistake.
>>96910687I was thinking that maybe the tac ops that force you into enemy territory to score them would be enough to counteract this... but there's only 3... (5 if you include plant devices and plant banner)and they're spread around the archetypes meaning you're never forced to take onealso the two security ones are more like toeing into enemy territory as far away from danger as humanly possiblenot great

There are tons of ways to react tactically, but you can still be hosed strategically by them never cohering at the right times. I still do pretty well even getting focused like that anon, but it's usually pretty apparent at the end game by how shitty my network is or how spread out my points were.>The art is good.Agreed. Well executed, but ugly (to me).>>96911155>Casino games aren't abstract. See: >>96910865Oh, I thought the retards were done. See >>96910887.
>>96910899>people target me too much>I quarterbackYou're doing it wrong, explain the rules, give some basic strategy advice (try get Actions +3, don't displace people out of a fully claimed route, don't forget to actually score points), then shut the fuck up and let people play. If someone makes a bad move that's their learning experience. I've had newbies blow me away with unorthodox tactics that win them their first game. If I quarterback, I rob them of that satisfaction.Also if you're making your moves so obvious that people can target you that's your fault. You have yet to learn how double bluff people into wasting their cubes blocking you on places you have no intention of finishing. Instead of broadcasting your intentions, just put a single cube down on a few different non-meta routes and leave them guessing.
>>96911248>HT at 5Though obviously the advantage of being the target can wane if you are forced to take office or Coellen and lose cubes you would otherwise be able to commit to flood positions, you should still eventually be able to get the upgrades or bonus tokens needed to force a route completion on keys or actions or to pinch key office majorities. If someone else wins and it has been feeling like coordinated musical chairs with upgrade routes perpetually filled and not completed and you don't get displaced all the time that's probably just a well played game and not really getting targeted. When I get targeted by newbies around the second or third game I find it can be fun to hit a double redeploy to the 2 man completion routes and threaten to cut those off suggesting I'm going for the largest network. It always makes for interesting behaviour and a lot of thinking about the game for them. If their play is hyper focused on you then you can scaffold their learning with your play. If one bought, played, sold then rebought the game then it suggests they really like it and it's better to consider one's own play as a means of instruction over selling it to rebuy it again later, or search for a alternative that does not exist yet. Another way to shake players out of weird play patterns is with the alternative maps. >the artThe customer is always right in matters of taste. I generally quite like it most days, but some days it's low contrast enough to be fresh Teflon to my egg eyes.
>>96911366Yeah. The extra action bonus markers can be used to ensure you're able to do what you need to do when you're getting targeted hard. It'll require even more skill to use them at the right moment, but I've had games where I fought very hard just to be in my last place position, and then in a single turn grab Colleen or keys 2 or 3 times and lock down the win (because I laid out a ton of cubes on previous turns, had upgraded move, and moved them efficiently with the +3 marker).>>96911391>that's probably just a well played gameFair enough.>Another way to shake players out of weird play patterns is with the alternative maps.A good suggestion. Another thing I like to do if I feel I've had too much heat on me, which has the same effect, is to stop trying to win so hard at that point and try weird shit myself. Both amount to my initial suggestion though:>The solution is more Hansa Teutonica, not less.
