Ok, James I’ll bite.
I think most reasonable assumption is to see what kind of homebrew people like (since they make it, means they want it in their games) and then which parts of books are praised the most (since they enjoy it, means they want more of it).

I’ll admit. Most of the gaping issues are fixed by this point, we got FBCs, we got… hmm furries aren’t my thing, but we did got them, martial arts were greatly expanded, we got a shitload of weapons, vehicles, sometimes drugs, drones, net gear and shit.
Man, just thinking about it makes me realise how far we went the DLCs, sure part of the content is whack (it depends but it’s like 40% for me), but hey, it’s free.

Compared to the 2020 series, at this point we would’ve had like 5 books about entire continents lore (including space), multiple adventures (I don’t even count them because I dislike the concept of pre-made adventure).

For the love of god, stop with the adventure books. Personally I'd like a rules supplement, something like Xanathar's Guide to Everything or Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.

Also does anybody know if the NC45 is just a lorebook or if there's going to be any new rules, items etc

>Dwarves just Hobbits with beards

The first three, I get. But could you elaborate on these?
How are most Tolkien-inspired games doing Dwarves wrong?
I mean, sure, the Balrog in LOTR isn't described in tons of details, but imagining them as horned devils doesn't seem too far-fetched?
Aren't Ents described by someone on Saruman's side as looking like a forest that walks?

>>96908504
>How are most Tolkien-inspired games doing Dwarves wrong?
Dwarves were not ever described as being aggressive drunkard Scots for one thing, nor were they just short people with beards. They were hardy, strong, stubborn, but honourable people, designed to survive through the harsh times of the First Age. D&D first began the trend of Dwarves being axe-wielding morons, but the LotR films really cemented them as this slapstick idiot viking midget trope.
>I mean, sure, the Balrog in LOTR isn't described in tons of details, but imagining them as horned devils doesn't seem too far-fetched?
It's too Christian to think of them like that. Tolkien's pretty much only inclusion of his faith was having a single primary God in Eru Iluvatar, but the bulk of divine interaction in Arda was the Valar, which were much closer to a pagan pantheon style of deities than anything Christian, precisely because Tolkien was going for a native British mythology to fill the gap that Arthurian legend (polluted by French and Christian ideologies) awkwardly perched in. It's then fairly obvious to see that Balrogs would be less like Christian demons or devils in aesthetic, and more like fire giants of Norse mythology, since it's clear Tolkien used a lot of Norse mythology already. Less horned goat and more enemies of Asgard.
>Aren't Ents described by someone on Saruman's side as looking like a forest that walks?
That's the Huorns. They were what looked like a moving forest, because they were literally trees that could move. Ents (name derived from Ettin) were always described more as giant humanoids, similar to trolls, but with some traits that resembled trees (Treebeard, for example, had smooth brown arms, a beard that had some slight mossy and twiggy qualities, big feet with seven toes each, and what was likely clothing made of green and grey bark but potentially was his torso skin, though I lean more towards clothes, his arms were bare and not bark-like, neither were his feet).

>>96908867

>Stopped reading right there.
Then you stopped reading after I said "Tolkien's pretty much only inclusion of his faith was having a single primary God in Eru Iluvatar", which then renders your question pointless and dishonest. Tolkien did NOT equate his faith with his wider purpose of creating a true English myth. Which is why he never jumped the shark like his friend CS Lewis did when he included a talking lion version of Jesus, for example.

Which rarity issues, the fact that there are 42 epics in a set of ~290 cards? Probably never. Pull rate of individual epic per box is about the same as magic, when you account for this being a larger than normal set. And the Chinese love to gamble.

I just hope they can drive the value into the chase cards to keep decks cheap, which seems to be the goal of most recently launched tcgs.

>>96911369
No the issue that some packs are containing uncommons or commons in the rare slot.
They said that the overall rares per box are as intended so only single pack buyers are potentially getting screwed but still it's a pretty big issue.

>>96911010
>>96911369
Set 1 is designed to be huge so that there's room for each play design to breath a little

Set 2 onward are much smaller sets, closer to 200 cards

Without repeating my previous 'review' of it and the mechanics: Most of my whinge about WanG holds, but it's also managed to annihilate all the equipment variety in exchange for adding in keywords that you pay extra for, make even basic mooks feel like bullet sponges (I think a basic mook takes three lasgun shots to put down? It's been a bit, can't really remember, sorry), make combat feel almost random at times and somehow make psykers even less useful. Oh, and they need an editor desperately.

They're the white scars but awesome-r. FOR SAIM HANN

FOR SAIM HANN
FOR HONOUR

Short version, they have listened to their farseers once: To abandon the empire before the fall. After that they decided that shit was for little girls and the word of a farseer has slightly less weight than redlining your jetbike - fucking awesome, but what if you can go faster instead? They spend their time getting their cocks out to wave at Ulthwe farseers, picking fights with Necrons who are bothering exodites (or bothering literally nobody because fuck the Necrons) and going F A S T. They're sort of like buddhist biker maniacs, actually. Ascendance through wisdom, speed and violence.

Also they seriously can't stop poking Necrons. It was a big thing in.. I'm pretty sure it was one of the ynnari books?

Wild Rider, that's the book. The Ynnari wanted something, and one of the potentates of Saim Hann wanted to fuck the Wych that Yvraine had sent as a diplomat, so naturally the potentate immediately signs up the entire craftworld FOR HONOUR and also seggs.

Depends on edition.

>1e
It depends on your Storyteller's needs for the game. The scale of power used for Allies is almost entirely arbitrary in this edition.

>2e
The power of Allies depends on what you're playing, as Allies scale directly to how strong your starting characters are / what splat you're playing. That being said, because you can build a starting character who is a sorcerer as almost any splat, it would be unreasonable not to allow one dot of Allies to get you a sorcerer ally.

>3e/Essence
One dot is a 'very minor supernatural ally', which could be a sorcerer who is just starting out and hasn't learned more than one or two spells yet (and probably doesn't even have five dots in Occult or Intelligence, gasp!), while three dots is 'a supernatural ally at least as powerful as a young terrestrial Exalt', which could be a serious, experienced, and committed sorcerer with somewhere in the region of two dozen spells or more (which is more than a young terrestrial Exalt could start with, but a mortal sorcerer doesn't get Excellencies or the variety of native charms terrestrials would get).

>Demake
They'd be a two dot ally almost always, the exceptions being when they've either done something extreme to break beyond the normal limits of mortals or have near-zero grounding in the occult to the point where it's laborious and risky to cast even basic spells or workings.

>>96909790
Depends on edition. 1e has the strongest enlightened mortals (Boost physical attributes only, up to Essence+5, Player's Guide 120), 2e has the most level and consistent presentation (no excellency, but a wide array of thaumaturgy and martial arts to exploit), and 3e has the most variable and ad-hoc version (do whatever you want, Storyteller characters only).

That said they've never actually had a dice limit set anywhere like everybody else does, in any edition, and if they got access to an uncapped 'add X dice where X is motes spent' type Excellency then theoretically they can pump as many dice as they have motes into it. Most Storytellers would cap them far below this though, usually based on whatever magic it is that gave them that ability - for example, giving them the Solar dice limit when they've been given power through Power Awarding Prana.

Working on an Abyssal antagonist for an upcoming campaign, and I made some Evocations for her Resplendent Shadow Blade. Was just wondering if anyone felt like looking them over and giving some feedback.

Though 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 art
The 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.

>>96911366
Yeah. 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 game
Fair 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:

Spell Speed 3 effects (Counter Traps) can only be responded to by other Spell Speed 3 effects, and can be activated during the Damage Step.

Future History has a section about determining a society's TL through methods other than raw "what's the most advanced tech available," instead looking at things like rates of energy consumption, degree of urbanization, global per capita income, etc.

Anyway, by those methods, modern Earth lands at around TL5 overall, with certain areas (US, Japan, northern Europe, etc.) having High TL and higher Wealth as common traits, just as there are certain areas (rural inland China, parts of Africa, etc.) where Low TL and lower Wealth are common traits.

>2 ps5s have the same processing speed as a 2000 super computer
How does one properly represent technology being significantly more powerful, but somehow being able to do far less?

>>96911675
Depends on what you mean by far less.
If you wanted to play 2025 CoD in 2000 you would have needed to get your hands on one of these super computers. Conversely, our current super computers can do shit the 2000s couldn't even dream of.
Current day gamedevs are certainly less skilled than 2000's cutting edge computer scientists, but the same is true today, and they're probably less skilled than 2000's gamedevs too.
Perhaps you could represent this by accomplishing things being easier, thus the tools' users' need to be less skilled. If this was a societal trend then advances in Tools could lead to stagnation in Skills, leading to relatively the same outcomes.

As much as people like to complain about how bad videogames are today I don't think we're there yet. Yes modern day videogames are bloated beyond belief, but they're also, as a whole, significantly better than 2000's vidya.
