I do know someone who played a warlock in d&d 4e and wants to play one in pathfinder 2e. I don't think your post about people liking warlock applies to him.

>>97830736
Obviously this talks about the 5e version, my 4e knowledge is unfortunately quite limited. But I wouldn't think there are that many people like your friend, who have memories mainly about the previous variants and think it was 2e needs or should have. There's so many 5eWarlock fans because the fantasy of "Unholy Powers At A Dirt Cheap Price" meshes well with the absolute glutted hog that is the Warlock chassis.

As shown, if it was just the fantasy or specific mechanics people like, they have options. But none hits *everything at once* like 5e Warlock does.

Speaking of warlock, any pointers for my very WIP brew? I feel I'm happy with the chassis now, still needs a ton of feats. https://scribe.pf2.tools/v/WHmHfolp

>"Intelligence or Other" would be faster to write out and leave you a bit of wiggle room in case you want to do something else like CON casting
>I don't quite get the lore of From Within and From Without schemes. I kind of get why From Within has Medicine training, but Without having Deception is strange since it isn't like you are draining other people magic or power. It would probably be better to just give the whole class scaling Occultism training and word the lore clearer.
>The lack of a Patron or enough lore to justify having/not having one is concerning, given the point of Warlocks in D&D.
>I'm personally not a fan of Eldritch Gambit or Strained as an idea. I get that it presses them closer to Oracle and properly adds the Power At A Price idea normal Warlocks are missing, but essentially them all being Wild Magic Mages, down to even summoning an additional foe, reaaalllly makes them risky to actually have. If we are shitting on Daredevil for being worse at every role it's trying to be, I can't see anyone being impressed with a whole class that is detrimental (even if the odds of such aren't high). This might be better as a feat, something to opt-in over a core part of the class.

Because modern games starting with 5e back in 2014 didtched the fun part of exploring to only focus on combat and maybe some social encounters and you need 4 third party suppelements to barely get somethign working.
So I made my own and it was so much fun, considering that often people suggest new things to add or can make their own adventures to share, which is also the point of the game

>Also, Female Knights have been a thing since 1e ffs
Don't care. Femnoids are inferior. Ladyknights are gay and so are shitlibs like you for putting them in your games.

I'd sooner have ladyknights over kniggas in my games, to be honest.

Black knights are a thing in Arthurian legends, anon, such as Sir Moriaen and Sir Feirefiz (who, admittedly, is half-black)

Drafting, my dude. I love both booster and cube draft, but I get it's not everyone's cup of tea.
I made a gauntlet of pauper decks some years back, tried to get a spread of archetypes and roughly equal power level. I didn't get the play out of them that I hoped for, but that's due to moving to a tiny town. The couple of times I've played them have been a lot of fun.

>>97830123
That is basically what cubes are for.
One thing I did was basically repackage the some Jumpstart packs since those are pretty easy to slap together for quick kitchen table games.

I have been experimenting with Wizard's Tower, and it's great in that you just sit down and start playing, minimal prep. The draft aspect is still there thorough the entirety of the game with the face-up cards. However this format has a flaw where 2 cards per turn floods your hand. On the other hand, if it's only 1 card per turn, things stall fast.

Battlebox seems kinda unfun and Jumpstart requires physical cleanup after game ends which is meh.

>>97830630
No I don't have them anywhere online, but they were basically the meta some years ago tweaked a little bit for balance and cost.If you want to do something similar I'd recommend just making a meta you liked (or think you'd like).

It is a setting before it's a narrative. As its popularity has exploded GW will be incentivized to tell more canon/official narratives, but at its tabletop roots it will always come down to being a vehicle for your, the player's, adventures, whether that's through the wargame, the various RPG's, fanfic and quests, or what have you.

Just to clarify, I'm not denying cape comics' issue with being incapable of escaping decades-old status quo and just retreading the same ground ad infinitum. I'm saying it's completely coherent to criticise that in comic books (a non-interactive narrative medium), while still saying it's fine for wargaming fluff (something which exists first and foremost to give flavour to an interactive game) to remain largely static. Two standards for two things which do different things for different reasons, like

You're retarded. If someone has an MTG group and spent money on MTG cards, they will naturally be disinclined to buy a new product with no guarantee that they'll have a group to play it with. For them to cross over they'll have to find the game not only as good as MTG but significantly better in many ways. If the game was just AS good as MTG, why buy it when you already bought MTG?

>new Terra Hypnagogica chapter is out
>starts with Klaus finding out that Necrium can apparently subvert and infect machinery, subverting robots Mephitior once used called the Hammers
>Ingrid and the Obzan are exploring more vastoplanes, which they've since confirmed to be a type of "proto-plane"; still in their early formation due to the action of organic elements similar to the earliest days of Udraiken - the more primitive their state, the greater and purer the concentration of Fluxium present in them. Obzan further speculate on encountering a "proto-Fluxium", a primitive state of Fluxium with more pure and pristine qualities compared to Udraiken & Orepirrus
>the group gets confident enough to start exploring planes even beyond the vastoplanes
>their first excursion to one of these lands Ingrid in the middle of an endless dark wasteland, featuring only mountainous monoliths and nothing else - no Necrium or Fluxium present at all, not even miniscule amounts of Fluxium
>Ingrid suddenly gets jumped by something with an immense and overwhelming Necrium presence (based on its appearance, it's either an infected Hammer from Klaus's timeline or whatever was infecting them) and it hits her in the face with this
>Ingrid survives (barely) and manages to either destroy or drive it away after a minutes-long exchange
>chapter ends with Noelle & her companion confirming the weirder looks for some of the more peaceful creatures in Udraiken (and possibly the other Planes) is due to Necrium/Viralborgian influence

The biggest things I can take from this jumpwise are a technology-corruption perk for the Necrium background, MASSIVELY raising prices for the Traveler background, maybe a portal generation perk to traverse vastoplanes for piquol sorcerers and maybe a drawback based on going too far beyond the known planes/vastoplanes. Also Ingrid upscale but that's obvious.

I'm gonna use a perk sharing perk to share that perk from Powerwash Simulator that makes people autistic

If an update is in the cards, I would be grateful if you added the option to keep the devils chosen for Contractual Obligations as Followers post-jump. People bringing out random devils to basically use as a Stand is my favorite part of CSM combat, and I'm not really interested in the autocontract part of the perk, even if it is probably more exploitable. For similar reasons, if you have enough interest to change their items, I think a "subordinate concept" group Follower option for Devils would be really cool, similar to how War has Tank and Gun.

No time. Prep is noob trap.

Been playing one shots lately, because of schedules conflicting and because I like trying new systems out to find the good ones to base a campaign around.
I tried several methods.

An Only War campaign that was mainly a series of combat encounters linked by a war movie plot that was just the ongoing conflict. One small starting operation against insurgents and then a longer conflict with Orks, that got sidelined after we couldn't manage to get together to play anymore. It's always there ready to continue if we want. Prep wasn't that deep, after I put together a few operation maps to give context during mission briefings. I probably spent more time cropping enemy stat profiles in a nice little sheet I could print out than getting sessions together.

L5R was the next big thing. I put together the basic premise, named a bunch of NPCs and gave them personality, ambitions and all that stuff, most of them aren't even statted beyond "generic+1" . I put together a small conspiracy plot in case the PCs needed a nudge, but they soon went in another direction and I rolled with that. Prep work gave me all I needed, I just had to come up with the details. I had another subplot ready just in case, and it's turning out to be the main plot in the current second campaign arc that we just started.

Between L5R arcs I GMd a cyberpunk 2020 campaign. It was supposed to be a sort of open table limited to our group but it soon became a regular campaign after a few players became unavailable. City map was done with google maps, a few factions with objectives and again a bunch of NPCs. We did keep the option to have the players change PCs between sessions, turned out pretty useful in some cases, like when the party had to interact with a zeppelin hijack from three different locations.

Next thing I'm going to prep is Exalted, still have to think how to tackle that because I want to study the system first and boy, is there a lot to read. Then maybe a classic fantasy using GURPS.

If you prepare big stuff like factions or big mover and shaker characters with clear goals, and also prepare a lot of "adventure sites" (dungeons, bases, things like that) then the improv will flow a lot better.
