Recently I found some Humanity Fuck Yeah YouTube videos that use AI voice narration on my feed. After using them as background noise while cleaning my apartment I found that that most of them are more or less the same. Humans are the only ones who know how to fight/love sex/survive/etc. How can we save the genre or reinvent it so it isn't so stale?
>>97821566You just encompassed the core concepts of this narrative trope.I wouldn't really call it a "Genre" because technically, it can slot into many genres.The trick is to bin the whole "HFY" conceit, and just write scifi or fantasy.
>>97821609I liked one HFY idea that did have humans as the physically weakest race in the galaxy on an individual basis, and had all the aliens as giant super evolved predators like giant tiger people or super fast snake-like aliens but it hammered home the persistence nature of humans and how little we sleep compared to a lot of other animals. So the super badass warrior alien who killed hundreds of aliens was recounting how fucking scared he was of going to sleep and simply never waking back up again because he needed to sleep for 16 hours a day while humans could get by on 4 or just stay up three days in a row
>>97822994Why does that even matter when you're a space civilization that can afford things like "alarms" and "rotating schedules". That's completely fucking retarded.
>>97821566You can't. It's inherently self masturbatory trash, and is thus bad.
>>97823121yeah typical "smart" hfy justification >duude what if humans are the only species in the universe to invent mirrors so all the hyperintelligent superpowered aliens are scared shitless by their reflections wouldn't that be so badass?!?>dude what if, like, humans are so special because we have thumbs?? all the aliens have ray guns and shit but can't use them because they don't have thumbs xd

Seriously, what is it?
>>97822226Is this some post-modern meta-spam thing? I'm pretty sure I've already seen this thread recently.
>>97822226Puckee is a type of off-topic spam threads on /tg/. These threads are spam made by someone who only comes here to spam images he either commissions or finds on artstation. He doesn't play any TTRPGs. He doesn't care about them either. He will only occasionally glance at 5e for ideas on how he can hide his shameful spam under the guise of actually playing a TTRPG. He is a pest that feels entitled to shit up /tg/ and then pretend that he's just trying to talk about worldbuilding, and for reasons beyond our control, the mods have not permabanned him.

>>97821720No it's doesn't.
>>97821736It does THOUGH
>>97821337Oh this is an interesting ruling. Makes All-Out attack less of an suicidal move.I think I'm gonna use that.
>>97823028>>97821337>>97820980In the same thread as this, Kromm also says>No, it was thought out at great length. In fact, it was the subject of two hours of phone calls and a lot of playtesting. It's fine as it is. People might not like the fact that going fully on the offensive means you either kill your enemy or he kills you – and boy, he had better not have pals – but that's death for you. The real issue here is with Berserk, not All-Out Attack, and whether it's fair to get +4 all the time. I tend to agree that it isn't . . . personally, I think that switching Berserk to Committed Attack would be the fairest tweak. Which I think is actually also a great ruling.IMO either double the number of points berserk gives or change it to committed attack.
>>97823062Doesn’t the Elder Thing/Deep One (whatever its called) in the races book have IT (Homogenous)? It might be an option in Power Ups, if not.

>>97822957So it's bad for art and bad for writing. So what is it even actually good for in a tabletop environment?

>>97822981I'll kill you, obviously. Were you not paying attention?
>>97822466I populate my NPC tokens with degenerate jojos extras, but yes. Wherever possible you should make your own stuff. If you're taking maps you're at least appreciating something that was (hopefully) laid out intentionally by a human to be interesting to play within. A human artwork is at least a human's creative contribution to your game. More than anything though ai art is just... not very good. It all looks the same. Please keep using it though, it costs openAI $2 per prompt and i want you to cost them that as much as possible so they go broke sooner

>>97822592I think your time is better served arguing with that retard who doesn't think RPGs are games.
>>97823064Nice inspect element rajesh. kek
>>97822479This is completely nonviable for so many reasons. It takes time and mental effort to learn how to play a game, and about three times that amount of both to learn how to GM it. Unless you're pirating everything you play or are exclusively playing obscure free RPGs like Risus, almost every system you can play costs money, as well. Only the kind of autist who actually cares about this hobby to spend time on a board like this are actually going to be doing things like consistently seeking out different RPGs, buying them, learning them and then trying to find people willing to play them, and all of that is much harder than convincing people to go play a new video game or something with a lot less mental effort involved instead. Playing a campaign is often the only way to get people to stay invested in an RPG in the first place without immediately dipping out, because playing a campaign maximizes the amount of time spent actually playing as opposed to all the other bullshit that learning to play an RPG entails.

>>97822238NTA but is resin's fluid physics capable of just making a suction siphon? Run a fluid line from your vat to your destination container, prime the line with the syringe and then it should empty it all out on it's own, like siphoning a fuel tank? Or is it too viscous?

I think that more games aught to feature ducks. Post ducks to remedy this
A duck inspired Kang the conquerer which in turn inspired Spider-Man and the Hulk being created. Also Ming the merciless and Genghis Khan irl. This goes all the way back to Adam of Adam and Eve fame. Ducks are behind every great human moment. Think about it. God has a bill.
>>97793175never saw a rabbit move like that before

>>97809004someone said sci-fi ducks?
>>97816303>Ducks make orcs seem civilized.ducks are wild animals and thus completely unfamiliar with the concepts of civilization, so it should come at no surprise that intelligent beings, even if savage, are more civilized than them

Solo RPGs are a lot easier to play than I thought. A lot more fun too. I did a test run scenario the other day where I was a mech rampaging in a city fighting police and the military. Now I just need to figure out how to make quests lines and stories.
>>97819395tbqh, I find combats really easy and fun. non combat is the harder brain power part that can easily fall into boredom if not done well.
>>97819607what system do you play
>>97808942I don't own a d20. Now what.
>>97821392Systems*I have noticed this broadly meant. Recently I have been playing Barbarians of Lemuria and Warhammer: the Old world RPG, but a further bit ago I also Played Scarlet Heroes (OSR DND with careers specifically more tailored to solo play) as well as a few others. And through out all of them combat seems to be easier to do. maybe because you have a clear procedural order and usually clearer goals and you have to make up less shit on the fly. Its like setting up a game board and playing out the factors involved with only one or to surprises in store. While I find social stuff and exploration a bit more nebulous and less clear cut, which is made so much more challenging without having someone else to play the part of the behind the scenes, knows all the major factors involved, game master. You have to make up most of the factors on the fly rather than getting a rough sense of them before hand. Maybe using timers and Solo tools would help, but I find that they often feel a bit forced and unintuitive. IDK maybe I should try them again. All and all just takes more creative juices without all the inspirational factors and ability to fall back on procedure that is involved in combat.

I like this modelThis looks cool
I'm guessing it's supposed to be an un-orkified War-Trukk, like how a lot of AdMech vehicles are uncorrected versions of Chaos Daemon Engines.
>>97820501Perhaps, I kinda forgot about the Half Trukk that FW made years ago
>>97820355It could have made sense, in a parallel dimension where GW had long established that different guard regiments with clearly defined equipment and vehicle restrictions exist. There, it could just happen that a regiment simply has no access to chimeras, so they need a transport and for whatever political or logistical reason, they are supplied by a forge world with an STL for that particular vehicle. But GW never bothered to flesh their regiments out like this, so this will just have to be your head canon, or you ignore the new transport. I'm certain guard is playable without it just fine for years to come. In regards to the command vehicle. I agree that it looks nice, but a chimera chassis salamander command tank would have done the trick as well.
