IMO he knew how to hedge his bets. A lot of it was more than luck.

>>96910674
Write a villain who is three steps ahead. Then, remove one step.

>>96910674
Write the adventure around the villain's plan. He should have all the pieces almost lined up, with a back up plan in the event of a setback. This way the villain can fail forward, still moving on with his plan, just in a reduced or more arduous capacity. Stealing some mcguffin or killing an important npc will still feel like a win to the party, just not a victory. This also leaves room for the party to fail forward. The party might not have stopped the current phase, and the end might be harder, but they can still stop the next step with what was learned.

>Does every thread on this board need to require the words "in my ttrpg"?
Nah, it would just be nice if more of them were about tabletop games.
Any answer to a question about games should boil down to "that's how the game works" not "that's how I wrote the outcome".

Every now and then make the guy show up, kill someone or something and say some cryptic phrase.
The players will come up with an explanation that's likely better then yours. Pretend that was always the case.

I'm sorry some of your players are shitasses, anon. I only play that game through Foundry these days, so we just use the VTT sheets. But way back before Comp/CON I ran the game live, using paper sheets, and it wasn't bad. Maybe you can insist on going analog again, if the screens are becoming a distraction.

>>96900061
Sometimes, it is because saying "this thing happens" will prompt an argument about "but I should be allowed to roll!" And the GM would rather not have that argument. Maybe this isn't even railroading! Maybe the players are just babies. But it is usually about railroading or protecting some pet NPC.
Sometimes, it is because the GM's best friend has been pouring his heart and soul into the session, but the dice keep kicking him in the nuts. The GM wants to give him a win when things are at their most dire. But it is vastly less memorable, less fun, if the GM just says "nah, you hit him because you're cool."
I have never done either of these. But I can understand the temptation.

I use maptools.

There were mentions of an appointment with the powers that be to introduce me, but that's it. I've yet to meet any kindred beside my sire, and there's no convenient notebook listing the name and contact details of the local personalities, of course.

What now? First priority seem to be making myself known to the city ruler?Should I try to find other kindreds and hope they're willing to help rather than murder me? Lie low, wait for some acquaintance of my sire to knock at her door and hope -they- are willing to help?

Congratulations on your unexpected bonus lucre. If you ever pass by St. Augustine I should introduce you to Baron Christopher: he always has a job or two for morally flexible Kindred with particular sets of skills like yours.

Hope you continue to have fun. I use a combination of characters and events taken from a tabletop chronicle and a LARP I played in for inspiration.

I'm curious if you can expand upon the first and fifth insights you presented, Monsieur Brainclot.

>>96912770
I recommend you look for a haven of your own and gather whatever you can take with you from your current location. If your sire met an untimely end at the hands of an unknown party, they may be trying to find her haven and you don't want to be caught alone. After you've secured a new shelter, you can begin looking for the powers that be to introduce yourself.

I prefur to not kill but uh if something goes wrong driving out of the city to your local evil pig farmer with a couple thousand in hand and asking for a little privacy so you can make his hogs some slop has been effective in the past. Also don't keep the clothes even if they fit learned that the hard way and I had to make 2 trips to the pig farm in as many months. Feels bad. Also I'm new here are puns allowed?

>>96912493
They’re based on the og mining suits that terminators were built from and require a lot more effort to pilot in exchange for a lot of bulk. Vulkan upgraded them with better reactors and shielding to handle more energy intensive weapons. In game they primarily wield large disintegrator cannons or mechanicum style plasma bombards which are basically plasma artillery guns. They also wield short range particle shredders which I imagine are horrific warcrime weapons. Additionally they commonly have deep strike beacons built in so all but their base variant has an easy time ds

it truly was the craziest case of a cancellation I have ever witnessed.

A lot of good content was lost because of this shit show.

Watching the Dispatch one-shot and it actually feels refreshing with only four players and Jasmine as a DM. Had some actual laughs, too.

Still don't give a shit about Dispatch or Daggerheart, but there's maybe hope that smaller tables will work in this campaign.

It's in everything he does. I didn't start watching him closer until I realized he was constantly fudging rolls and cheating abilities/spells. With Picrel same as >>>96886800, it's the same move (left) and clearly not a genuine reaction, or he forces physical scenes (right) to fondle her where she has to play along. I only remember a few times touching Marisha as being aggressive, like when he literally wiped her face with his hand like he was putting shit on her. So about those defending him...

This is the correct answer. It can be broken down into several steps that happen in an instant with little to no interaction. And there are a lot of cards that use it as cover to force their effects through without fear of handtraps.

started maining 3x Ghost Belle in Advanced, what targets should I keep an eye out for? is there anything it doesn't hit that I might think it does?

>>96912797
Wait, so you're maining the card but you're not sure what you're trying to hit with it? Maybe take a step back first and ask that question before running the card in your main.
I'll teach a man to fish here with you. Go to a meta deck list and results aggregation website like yugiohmeta or ygoprodeck and look at their deck lists. From there you can determine what cards are being played and then form your staples list with it in mind. You'll also see what they're playing in order to play into such a meta too. All assuming the lists are public.
As an aside, we're still waiting for results after the recent "emergency" list they dropped so it's a bit up in the air at the moment without data from any big events yet.

While the decks not meta, against Lab this is a second copy of Ash for Big Welcome because it also pulls from grave.

The Raven box would just be a set of BFS cards for airstrikes and orbital bombardment. No point giving them mechs when they should never even set foot on ground.

>>96913101
>>96912473
>For Empire Alone, we looked at doing a Wolf OpFor for that box, but Catalyst had already planned three ForcePacks of Wolf-related miniatures, and we all felt it was enough. So I looked at what else is in the sourcebook and decided I would really like to see the Capellans as the opposing force. This box set is called Wrath and Reprisal, and it’s set in Capellan space along the border of the Duchy of Andurien.
>The third box will be based on Dominions Divided. There are two big chunks in this sourcebook. One is the Federated Suns/Draconis Combine border and the taking of New Avalon. The other big chunk of that book is the Ghost Bear Civil War in the Rasalhague Dominion—the dispute between the Joiners and the Deniers as to whether they’re going to join Alaric Ward‘s new Star League. So we ended up with the Snowblind box set. You get inserted into the civil war and have to deal with trying to keep the peace between two different sides of the Ghost Bear touman. It’s a nightmare contract full of ethical gray areas, and I love how it’s turned out.
>And finally, the fourth one is based on IlKhan’s Eyes Only, which is brand-new if you haven’t read it yet. Fantastic sourcebook—lots of really cool stuff happens in there. One of the new players that takes a bigger, more center-stage role in lKhan’s Eyes Only is the Raven Alliance—the Clan Snow Raven/Outworlds Alliance mashup. Box four is called Controlled Burn. You’re defending a planet on the border of the Federated Suns and Outworlds Alliance against a Snow Raven invasion.
So CGB gets 3 boxes then

Because SDS is only allowed to release a specific amount of plastics, you fucking fool. They have limits precisely BECAUSE they're sharing the same production capacity of the rest of the company. They cannot make Necromunda sprues 24/7 while endless marineslop needs to be made.

What are you even try to argue about? they have their fucking machine, and the production was being hogged by the new game, which require a fuck tons of sprues, that's why the release was ass. No marines were affected by this. In fact, they released warcry which is the single biggest side game launch in GW history, 1 single release equal to 2 years of Necromunda release.

Cool to see the chorfs get their promised rules and battle traits and blessings being added to matched play properly rather than being hidden away in some random expansion book and WD issue as optional rules. Not a fan of the nerf to universal abilities without an accompanying balance pass to faction abilities though, there are too many warbands that are stuck with just absolute trash faction abilities that are basically forced to rely solely on those universal abilities.

>>96910790
Making variations on ItO's Arcanum that are still light and work with the system's design intentions is an interesting exercise and way to adapt the game back to a more traditional fantasy dungeon crawl without having to go full Mythic Bastionland levels of involvement.

>>96910694
for me, it's the nail element
see you next month

>>96910823
Ok...Well I'm going to tell you straight up, "occult" is not an element, it would be more of a description or category that elements fall under or the means of using soul/spirit/life and flesh/blood and darkness/shadows in a way that is different than divine, or the method in which the "energy" is extracted.

How are you even differentiating soul, life, and spirit? You might be able to distinguish life in some way, but soul and spirit are going to be very hard to differentiate in any meaningful way. All of them are the "supernatural" aspect of life, where is the physical "Body" besides blood/flesh (no bone?) or "Anima" aspect?

Same with darkness and shadow, unless you are meaning to say darkness takes on malicious properties and shadow is more deceit, stealth, or possibly illusionary.

How is steam distinct from, as opposed to combined with, water+heat? Where/what do gasses and mist do if not under the domain of air, with smoke really being carbon particles (usually caused by fire) in the air? Fire and oxidation are really processes, not actually "things". Fire and rust are typically what happens when things are oxidized, fire being it's own element and rust usually being considered either part water or metal element.

Idk man. I like elements too, but some of these imo just don't work well.

Hi anon, sorry was in bed.

I'm not familiar with NAI's interface but from what little I understand it would be closest to one of the more "on the rails" interfaces like RedForge, so I would tentatively recommend that for NAI veterans.

Comfy is a different beast, being node-based rather than menu based. But if node-based programming interests you I can give you a nice tutorial and a sample workflow to get you started. The upsides are that Comfy is a bit more efficient on resources and the nodes make for very flexible, near unlimited variations of workflows.

Sorry ReForge, not RedForge. It's the follow-up to Forge and I recommend it because I think Forge has stopped receiving support

All 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.
