>>97820465Thanks as always for the update.
>>97820684sure. i keep messing up the spoiler somehow, i used to be able to do it
>>97820156>Have you ever made a custom mount/vehicle for your character? how did that pan out?Not from Scratch but I've designed a Solar Dragon as a socerous-working-forged familiar/mount. Used the Sky Titan as a baseline for flying mount then added in bits from other critters like the Tidemare's ability to serve as mass transit, and a custom breath attack.
>>97821861Based. What did you end up using it for?
>>97822206Transport / battle tank / primarily for intimidating unruly Gods because its claws could pierce sanctums and it was a Solar working so it could fuck up even decently strong opponents
Which D&D canon setting do you like most? Which one would you like to try out? >Blackmoor? More like, Blackwhore!>Greyhawk? More like, Gayhawk! >Mystara? More like, Fagstara!>The Conan universe? More like, the colonoscophy universe! >Dragonlance? Not worth giving a chance!\>Forgotten Realms? More like, forgettable realms!>Spelljammer? More like, go-to-Hell jammer!>Dark sun? More like, No Fun!>Al-Qadim? More like, All-Cocks-In-Him!>Planescape? I'd rather plan an escape!>Eberron? I like it, the creator is a creep though>Ravnica? More like, Ravnigga!>Exandria? More like, Retardia!>Theros? More like, Lameos!
>>97808595A reasonable take on MY tg?! Heretic! Blasphemer! WIIIIIIIIIITCH!
>>97813540Massively underrated setting imo
>>97824206it's not even "science" fantasy, it has the concept of spaceships going to other planets but it's all magic, as the name implies, and space doesn't work like real space but like a fantasy realm
>>97805210>>97805231>>97805281You faggots need to go away and stay away.
>>97805205>BlackmoorA bit generic, but it's from like 1970 so that's forgivable. Charming but not a great setting overall.>GreyhawkThe other OG. Don't know a ton about it but from what I've seen it seems pretty cool, a lot more '80s Sword and Sorcery' than a lot of the other D&D settings and a lot of modern fantasy fiction in general, which is nice>Conan universeI wasn't even aware this was an official D&D setting. Kino, though.>Forgotten RealmsEasily my favorite and the one I'm most familiar with, but not without flaws. Probably the most fleshed out. It's the most popular for multiple reasons, even if half of those reasons are "Ed Greenwood is excessively horny">SpelljammerBasically a meta-setting that was literally intended to tie all the universes together. Therefore, not particularly unique in its own right, but neat concept.>Dark SunPretty cool and underrated, I like the concept, but don't find it interesting enough to invest any particular attention in it.>PlanescapeSimilar to Spelljammer. Most of the things it brought to D&D as a whole are no longer unique due to them being shared across most of the other settings.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

You lazy motherfuckers really let the old thread expire and even hours later didn't create a new one. I mean I like creating the pics but still.
Is there ANY miniature wargame that isn't insanely expensive? I'm talking about things you can buy in a box and play immediately, not "print your own minis" bullshit or things where you're forced to use proxies cause official models don't exist.
>>97823294>bonuses and compensation>minimum wageBest I can do is some pizza and maybe a gift card.
>>97822958>Most /awg/ are low cost skirmish games where younever find anyone to play with. That is the sad truth, and that is why there is no universal truth to questions like in the OP, because it varies from region to region, from town to town. Here people play Bolt Action a lot, somewhere else, you either have 15mm ww2 stuff because the scene is playing FoW, or you won't play ww2. Here might be a group doing frostgrave campaigns, somewhere else might be a strong necromunda club.. That's why one always should get in contact with whoever is playing locally, and see what it is they play. And then decide if those games look or sound fun.
>>97823816It's well known that GW employees can buy gw stuff at a discount
>>97824791>below industry average pay>...but you get a discount!Good. So all GW employees are "true fans", aka exploited manchidlren. Meanwhile paypiggies feed the system money that floats on top.
>>97824775Make two armies and demo it, smaller games are always going to be passion projects and run off local community organization. That's part of the regional context you're talking about.

I really love hex tile games so I made one where cities are dice (to represent the size) and you draw tiles from a random bag like Carcassonne and place them according to rules (like you have to contribute to existing forests or mountain ranges on the edge until they're a certain size, before you can start a new one). The game was very visually and tactilely satisfying to me, which is important since it's being played in the physical realm. But the girls, as you can see, are a bit small. So I bought new ones. I haven't painted them yet but I am hoping to add some numbers to them, almost like Catan has. So therein lies my question (and I know I'm leaving a lot of details out, this game is very different from Catan, but it's basically a 4x tabletop hex tile game). My question being:Do people actually like rolling dice in Catan? I think in Catan it's a very elegant way of adding depth to the game. Currently in my game, you roll 1d6 per population of a city, and for each 5 you roll you can get a resource of the tile your city's on, and for each 6 you can get that or an adjacent resource. But that leads to a lot of dice rolling. By the end game you might be rolling 10 pools of dice each with 6 dice, and making decisions along the way. So obviously I want to simplify it. But the question is, do people even like the dice rolling in Catan? Or would they rather the randomness be removed from it?
>>97824776nice table, can I take her for some uhh solo playtest in the back out back
>>97824776>But the girls, as you can see, are a bit smallBut that's the whole point, anon. That's what makes them cute. What would you want big girls for?
>>97825300To fuck duh. You stupid?
>>97824776I would play the shit out of this, also being a hex tile placement enjoyer since Gamrauders. The dice rolling is acceptable enough as long as it's not the main focus. You might be able to substitute tile draw for the randomization element. Best hex tile game I've played in ages is called Cascadia, very clever, might not hurt to check it out.

So what are you working on?>Why should I homebrew?/tg/ products are fairly unique in that it's actually pretty simple to make them these days, with a plethora of products to assist in making and playtesting your game.

>>97824423It depends on how successful you want the players to be and how the other mechanics interact with the dice.>1d20You want modifiers to matter more than the die, because you have a 5% chance of hitting anything from 1 to 20. Otherwise, you want high randomness and low reliability in the outcomes.>2d6/3d6/2d10You want a system that leans towards averages with both the best and worst results being exceptionally rare. It's easier to balance the game around these because you can use the average for the Average Difficulty of checks.>Roll-underMainly with d100s or 2d6, the idea is that you want to emulate a percentage system where instead of adding to the roll modifiers increase odds of success. For example, for a fallout system, 1d100 roll under vs your Skill on a check would work out, and you can add a Complication system to prevent auto-success in all cases at 100 in a skill if you like.>PoolsThese are IMO generally best for combat, but for core checks you can add granularity to your checks. For example, using d10s like Exalted where a 10 is 2 successes instead of 1, and totaling your successes to see if you succeed, critically succeed, fail, or fumble.Of note, it's best not to have d6s for core rolls in pools as they lack the granularity to gain benefit of this type of core roll.I favor a mix of 2d10 + Modifier, 3d6 + Modifier/D6 pool, and in a couple of odd cases 2d8 + Modifier and d8 pool check options. The fallout example is right out of my currently being reworked Fallout RPG, where it's being changed to be roll-under d100.
>>97824985Elitist gamechud!
>>97824404Stop responding to such lazy bait. At least make them work a little.
>>97824985Uhm actually reading systems is really consumist so no you should not do anything you say and also you are being a chud when you tell people to read because tg cant read so stop being worldbuilderphobic
>>97824423Dont worry about the actual dice before deciding how you want results to behave and people to act. Randomizers are just randomizers, so the form they take or the method doesnt matter until you have the vibe decided.For instance, if you want to encourage players taking risks, make a blackjack-style mechanic and add whatever randomizer you think will work best for you. If you want something which makes more average results, use something that creates a bell curve. Et ceteraAlso try to think about what mechanics you want to see, and what randomizers help you make that run smoothly. For example, a wargame im working on uses d12s because of how i wanted to do morale rolls (roll over [half the number of models the unit lost] plus [number of models lost this round] to avoid losing a model). I could use all sorts of dice or tweak the mechanic, but a d12 works well enough for it

>>97821172Single player mode is a bit misleading. It's a very nice GM tool, with lots of premade d100 lists, random encounters and prep material.

>>97824802I cannot fathom why they think martials need simultaneously need to be simpler, forced to tie their abilities to off stats, and also hard limit them when they never ever apply this logic to caster abilities.
>>97825172They unironically think of martials as being for new players.
>>97825172The Hellknight feels like an interesting concept with a Fighter focusing on damage over time, but it really just ends up being X uses of Searing Smite per day. Especially when they already introduced a Burning condition in the 2024 PHB. Why couldn't the subclass be 'When you deal Fire damage with your Hellfire weapon, the creature you hit starts Burning'.1d4 damage wouldn't be anything special, but it also means that the creature has to use an action to drop prone to extinguish themselves instead, doesn't have a capped duration, and can't cure it just by regaining hitpoints.
>>97825212>>97825239>The cleric can spend a minute passively building up exhaustion on enemies and then if they die gets to blow them up and deal 3d6 damage to everything around them (of your choice) a number of times equal to their primary stat>The fighter gets to add 1d6 once per turn a number of times equal to their secondary stat to apply a debuff that can be ended by any healing or a single action, but if you get lucky and roll a 6 it can also explode for a handful of damage (which can hurt yourself/allies)What were they thinking lmao
>>97813902Would giving martials Musou-like attack ranges help bridge the divide with casters at higher levels? Basically multiply the range of melee attacks by their proficiency bonus and make all the attacks cones that cleave every other enemy in the area for partial damage. Flavor it as sword beams, air pressure from the strength of your swings, whatever. Ranged attacks instead just get a % increase in range = 10x the prof bonus or something.
