Happy juice year!
>>97242760>>97241774Merry Juicemas, Riftsbros.
>>97239579Got super busy. Here is a combat borg. For people who played the OCC, do you want a drill arm? I ask because I'm being a lazy bastard and despite being super cool, I never see people play that mod.
>>97243552This one came out almost perfect. Half dome or no? It's the headhunter OCC, btw.
do you use character portraits in your game?how do you get them? do you use any websites\generators? do you use AI? how do you prompt it?
>>97242579You do you anon, but honestly it doesn't really look all that appealing to me. That's honestly the most indicting thing about ai art I can say, since I know next to none of the people obsessed with it give a shit about the sheer environmental waste involved so far (cause progress or whatever) or how most of it is ugly (cause it'll look better we totally swear), most of it mainly looks unmemorable and passe.
>>97242706>or how most of it is uglyActual human beings produce plenty of ugly art. Pic related (Paladin Alhandra, D&D 3rd edition PHB): Right leg's very obviously fucked, left arm's fucked, left boob's fucked, neck and back are fucked, scale mail looks like a texture tool, left knee is too low, what is that leathery flap in the back supposed to be, and everything kind of looks like it was drawn independently and then crudely assembled with clothing to hide the seams (bandana, collar, shoulder pads...)This was drawn in 1999 or 2000, way before AI art was ever a thing.
>>97242878Anon, I pointed out that ai art looking boring and unmemorable is imo far worse than any of it looking ugly, since I get that ugly is in the eye of the beholder anyways.
>>97230620>do you use character portraits in your game?I find visual aids help my players and myself visualize things better. Also we use Roll20 so I like to represent people with tokens when I can.>how do you get them? do you use any websites\generators?I get like 90% of my character art from here, though the character art threads have been poor quality - if high quantity - this year.>do you use AI? how do you prompt it?I try to avoid using AI images if possible, partially on principle and partly because they mostly look like shit.
>>97242058Muh climate change is absolutely right though, AI's wasting immense amounts of natural resources to achieve exactly fuck all. That said I still slop from time to time, most things I either crudely draw myself or just describe but there are e.g. certain playable humanoid types I make slop of to demonstrate

>>97237486Pretty sure they have an interest in protecting the gate from anyone ever. In fact. if we hadn't been teased the whole world within the snarl I'd predict half the members of the oots staying behind to guard the gate in perpetuity; namely V. Dorkun, possibly Roy and Undead/MechaBelkar.
What would be cool is if at some point Elan is in peril and Nale is the one who saves him, and he can go "I'm not the evil twin anymore."

>>97243205Yeah, I just lost interest in following all those elaborate design principles after seeing JotC flush them down the toilet.
>>97242171The quality of what was posted in the few last ones was very bad and there was very little feedback. I enjoy making custom cards but there is no point in sharing anything here.
>>97243285lets play mtg
>>97243412I mean it's kinda hard to post designs anywhere. Even in dedicated custom card groups, most people are infinitely more concerned about the art than any of the text on the card. Not to mention all the same issues plague custom card communities where it can come down to the blind leading the blind.

Guys, I want to talk about HELLPIERCERS. I bought this game a bit ago because I thought it looked cool, and I've read it, and I don't know enough people weird enough to play it with me, and I can't stop thinking about it, and I just have to talk about it with someone.>First up: what the fuck is Hellpiercers? And why do you spell it in all-caps? Do you have autism?HELLPIERCERS is a tactical tabletop RPG developed by SandyPug Games alongside a few people who did some dev work on some of the Lancer supplements. It casts the PCs as gnostic demigod heroes and veterans of the War in Heaven, who aided the forces of humanity in regaining their stolen gnosis and slaying the Demiurge, his Archons, and angelic generals. Having conquered Heaven and liberated the mortal plane from the tyranny of false divinity, they now cast their eyes downward, into Hell, where countless human souls remain enslaved by the demon lords below. Hellpiercers, armed with their god-slaying weapons, clad in armor forged from the corpses of angels, lead a war of liberation against the forces of Hell, to free the enslaved souls of every human who has ever lived.I spell it in all-caps because it's title is rendered in all-caps. I'm pretty sure I'm not autistic, but I've never been tested, so who even fucking knows?
>>97242444It is certainly a wordy game. I will be the first to admit that it frontloads a lot with a lot of in-universe jargon and buries the lede in terms of what the actual structure of play on the campaign level looks like.ICON and Gubat Banwa are better points of comparison, yes. Yeah, STRATCOM is spent with the players and the GM taking a couple of turns (as many as is necessary between tactical combat sorties based on strategic map movement and other factors) moving about the map, encountering shit on the overworld, spending resources, constructing buildings, performing rituals and other actions that affect the pace and the standing of the ongoing conflict. And RECON is, in fact, the unstructured, "narrative layer" play, mostly for exploring Dis, pursuing personal objectives, and finding cool shit in the Chambers, Vaults and Caverns under the city. It's kept deliberately loose, and most of the points of interaction relate to the tags you assign to characters and gear during chargen. Like, with Lancer's pilot-scale gameplay, it's probably going to be the most controversial part of gameplay for players who don't jive with something like Blades in the Dark.Also, notable is that you never roll to attack during TACCOM. The forces of Hell are overwhelming. Everything around you wants to kill you. The air you breathe? The microbes in it want to perforate your lungs. The ground beneath your feet? Would love to open up and swallow you whole. You can't swing a stick without hitting something that wants you dead, so why bother? Damage is still randomized, and enemies don't roll to attack either, so careful positioning and risk management matter even more than in Lancer and ICON.
>>97235095Why the hell is Gnosticism so popular?
>>97242679Because it's meaningless. It's a word to prove that you're not like the other girls (male).
>>97242679Gnosticism posits that the secret truth of the universe is that we are trapped in an illusion/simulation/prison, and the deity responsible for this is evil. So by rejecting this twisted reality and fighting against it, you are a heroic rebel. It lets you be iconoclastic, rebellious, but also be the good guy because you're aligned with a greater cosmic good that exists beyond the demiurge. You get to have a punch-up with god, but like, without having to go full fedora about it.Which does kind of boil down to what >>97242687 says, I admit
>>97235095I'm not sure that setting makes sense: gnosticism is still totally monotheistic, just that the demi-urge is larping as the one true god when he's not. Using terms like "god-slayer" is completely antithetical to the beliefs of gnosticism, as the protagonists would inherently reject that the things they killed were gods. It might sound like a nitpick but it's a critical distinction. It's a red flag that there's no reference in the text to there being any sort of actual god in the setting, plus "free the enslaved souls of every human who has ever lived" from hell? Really? Even the rapists and child molesters? Would the devs want Hitler to be "liberated"? The whole thing reeks of an edgy atheist power fantasy.

Is it autistic to have chatgpt write little stories about my most memorable legion battles?
To preface, I'm an MTG veteran. My first Precon was Coven Counters in 2021 and I've been an EDH player ever since.After years of playing, I think the WUBRG elemental may just do me in. Gimmick synergy, tribal, a real throw in anything somewhat related type of commander potential. It also has the most forced WUBRG ability to date: being able to pay WUBRG in order to keep an Elemental you Evoked is utter bullshit. It completely defeats the purpose of Evoke and is just a continuation of "drop a set, put whatever you want under 1 commander."I hate it, you hate it, and it's just a slap in the face of previous WUBRG Legendaries that tried to be something more than tribal or gimmick synergy, or just cram some WUBRG ability in last second, such as [[Atogatog]] [[General Tazri]] [[Golos, Tireless Pilgrim]] [[Jodah, the Unifier]] [[Jenson Carthalion, Druid Exile]] [[Morophon, the Boundless]] [[Najeela, Blade Blossom]] and [[Ramos, Dragon Engine]] . And I'm missing a shitton of other WUBRG Legendaries that could be Commanders.But let's look at the new WUBRG Legendaries that could be Commanders (hint: they're all tribal, gimmick synergy, or cram in a WUBRG ability last second): [[Avatar Aang]] [[Cosmic Spider-Man]] [[Hei Bai, Forest Guardian]] [[Heroes in a Half Shell]] and [[Infinite Guideline Station]] .As long as WotC keeps dropping cards like [[Horde of Notions]] , MTG will die very soon and for real this time.
