it's not in games that already give you a lot of cards.
the "default" is magic and other draw 1 per turn games. they give you way fewer cards than you can use, so draw is very valuable. If a game lets you draw 2 per turn then draw is only half as good.

Also agree. Hammerers and Ironbreakers wouldn’t work because they get their gear from the hold itself, so they should be uniform and professional. But basically anyone that isn’t them could plausibly be wearing varying amounts of their own gear and especially own clothing.

What DG books should I read to get into the setting? Outside the core rulebook, that is. I know nothing about it other than a vague idea it's kike X-Files for Cthulhu.
>>
>>97831765
Handlers Guide for the big overview, Conspiracy for the Conspiracy Era, Fall of Delta Green for the sixties era. There is also the original DG book, Countdown, Eyes Only and Targets of Opportunity.

There are also the short story collections and novels. Basically any book is going to have some lore. The Handler's Guide had the most, but it's pretty dry.
>>
>>97831765
There's quite a few short story collections, but:

"Strange Authorities" has the novella "The Rules of Engagement". This is peak Delta Green fiction.

After that, read "Through A Glass, Darkly" to see how Delta Green transitions from The Conspiracy to The Program.

There is also "Denied to the Enemy" for WW2-era DG, but it's honestly not a very good book.

"Nothing good" my sire says:
-Werewolves are holed up in the north end.
-There are some Anarchs in St. Vital who oppose the Sabbat so they've been killing each-other on the south end of the city. The Baron goes by "Trelaine" and I think he's a Toreador.
-Camarilla from Alberta are trying to move in downtown but they've lost a lot of people to the Sabbat and the werewolves. Some Ventrue leading them, sire didn't catch her name.
-Sabbat almost everywhere else, no idea who leads them. Now that they're fighting a two-front war the sabbat needs more recruits who aren't shovelheads and they've apparently tried to recruit my sire (and by extension me) through familial clan ties. My sire has no interest in anything other than their own metamorphosis and vicissitude research however. I think their command center has moved to St. Boniface from downtown, since they got pushed out by the Cammies.

>>
>>97832813
DO NOT
Do not don't try to place it first
Okay. First rule of this stuff is to never internalize it outside of cursory stuff because that is asking to be trapped in it at worse.

It's not prophecy but it's something ajdacent. Like- Dejavu. Except too much all at once. With excess sensory information hanging on it. I used to be basically crippled by this stuff and the only reason I'm functional is I got a nice voice in my head that balances out all the fucking garbage and hallucinations.

Something will eat something else. But we can't- shouldn't try to get too much in terms of details.
>>
>>97832859
Aaaaaand this is why I don't pay prophecy any mind. Younpay too.much attention and YOU make it happen. Or drive yourself insane. You don't pay enough attention and it makes no sense until somebody eventually gets aroubd to convincing you it was about that thing that happened last week. Train. Drink Blood. Rip the heads off cammy licks. And never forget: Tomorrow never comes.

I see a lot of critique for Abnett does his writing get worse later or something?

>Not that he was afraid of change. Change was, he always insisted, part of his ruling character. ‘The melancholic humour is protean,’ he said. ‘It possesses the quality of autumn. It is transformative. It makes me the accelerator of death, the enabler of ends and beginnings. I was made to clear away this world ready for renewal. To change the order of things. To cast out the false and enthrone the true. This is my purpose. I am not afraid.’

My thought is that it would probably reduce thinking time. My IQ is 80, so it might just be me, but I think Hikaru would have done a bit better if he just wrote down all the possible moves and the different branches that could arise from them. Just to organize his thoughts, you know? It could have reduced his thinking time.

>>97831274
Yeah any basic healing would probably make a huge difference to this society. Well if hes past it hes past it. Or would necromancy be a temptation? It doesn't have to be full on turning someone into a vampire thing. It could just be like trying to commune with the dead for answers or resolution. Which considering how the magic police don't want people learning old things I'm sure its a massive taboo and they might be very serious about clearing out old battlefields and graveyards...I suppose dead at the bottom of a lake might be harder to find. Maybe a Ghengis Khan situation where they bury a warlord under a river to hide his grave.

I'm glad theres good chemistry. It was pretty damn funny to hear shenanigans of Arrianne's party tho.

I wonder if it will really be a straight up negotiation and hunt to talk with other nobles. Or if it immediately goes to shit with some noble attempting to murder another in the hunt.

I think I already know the answer to this question, but I just want to verify:

In a hypothetical scenario where, say, a chromatic dragon were to have an item in their hoard that they, genuinely, had no idea what it was or what it did; this would not matter in the slightest. As far as that dragon is concerned, that thing is it’s… whatever it is… and it will fight tooth and nail to keep it.

Sound about right?
>>
>>97832934
Depends on the Dragon. A red dragon might fight you simply because it belongs to him and you dared to take it. A green would probe the party to find out who it belongs to and why they want it so badly, if it didn’t already know from its animal spies, negotiations have begun. A white dragon might try to lure the party over to the item and to eat one of them. A blue could try to recruit the party in exchange for the item, considering daring adventurers a greater treasure. A black dragon would probably pretend to be sympathetic to the party and then destroy the item to see them suffer.
>>
>>97832934
Probably. Some of them like Green or Blue dragons might hypothetically be open to a trade, but they're also probably going to assume that if there are people seeking it out specifically enough to request it, then it must be more valuable than any of their other treasure, and so they'll likely charge accordingly.

Even then you need to be dangerous enough that the dragon doesn't just decide it'd be easier to kill you and keep both the item and whatever you brought as a bribe.
>>

depends what the dm decides the personality of the dragon should be

That is most of the nu-sr games. Kind of a fun thought exercise wrapped in a premise. They're not unplayable but they have the stamina of a boardgame.
I'm of the opinion that people should play lots of different kinds of games. Once you have a good base you can look at something and know whether or not it's worth your time.
I like a game with a strong spine.

I get that, I read a ton but get to play few and run only a handful. Still many have interesting ideas.

I always hear about the stir this caused, and recently about how bad or redeemable it is. I'm not certain about it myself because I dabbled with 3e and then got into 5e, never paid much attention to the scene during that entire era. What does /tg/ think of the system?

It also suffers from treating wilderness as a minigame.

Bitch, 3e gives you the entire setting of Saltmarsh because why the fuck not have a grand example of a town with shit tons of potential for adventures. 4e clearly just wanted to be a platform to keep selling you supplements so you could actually just fucking play. It will always be an example in what not to do with your brand and game.

I went through the PHB a bit and it read like a mess. Though I read tons of 2e, then 3e, so it's coming from both of these perspectives.

Thank you. I had been collecting monster creation rules (sort of) from different editions and was curious about how well figured out it might be in 4e.

I was also curious if 4e would have at least a marginal take for hypothetically running Council of the Wyrms.

>3E came out after TSR went under and there had been no new official D&D for years.

In 1995 through 1999 TSR released 27 box sets, 8 hard covers, 84 adventure modules and 121 accessories for D&D. That's an average of 48 new items every calendar year for 5 years. That's not bad for a company that didn't make any new D&D for years before 3e came out in 2000.

The last big revision to the rules was years before 3e, in the form of Player's Options in 1995 and 1996 which was very much new D&D, and there was a whole new campaign setting in 1999. 1995 to 2000 without a new edition would be years but there being no new edition can't be what you mean because that's a hollow statement that has been true for most editions of D&D, starting with 2e's release about 5 years after BECMI. The only time it really wasn't true was the first few years from OD&D to BECMI which included AD&D and B/X and Holmes.

TSR didn't go under in 1997. It was in severe debt with no means of servicing that debt but it was acquired by WOTC and its debts assumed and settled by WOTC before TSR went under.
