>>97822993>it'd be kinda weird if the last one is the first to be posted, right?Not really no.How's Nekomaru going to handle Kisui's brand of leadership where he wants to do everything himself?
>>97824770Nekomaru's gonna be really confused if Kisui makes a weird call, but he wants to make whatever Kisui wants work. He's fine with following orders, even if he thinks they're dumb, and he's not really gonna put up much of a fuss, but if the plan falls apart in some way he'll just go on autopilot. Nekomaru has a "fine, you're the boss" mentality in this situation, I guess. If for whatever reason Kisui puts the scroll in danger, or Kisui clearly can't make it through something Nekomaru could easily clear (like running over a small body of water or something), Nekomaru will step in just at the last moment, snatch it and clear the obstacle. Is he gonna get an earful from Kisui for it? Absolutely, but he's made peace with this, and Nekomaru will just give the scroll back when the team's back in a safe position.Given that I've offered to write that part myself, what WOULD Kisui plan?
Previous thread: >>97680129GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.TQ: what's your least favorite disadvantage for a player to take?

>>97824281Kill yourself puckee
Is this possible:>Rapid strike: Grab dude, then throw without letting go so he is now with his back to you and prone (assuming he failed the defense and then the throw contest)>on his turn he uses his action to escape, and succeeds but since that was his action, he can't attempt to get up>you can then stab him in the back with no defense since he is prone and with his back to you
>>97825065I think you're still allowed a step which can probably be taken as him rolling over onto his back. Also you can defend from an attack you strongly suspect is coming, just at a fairly stiff penalty. Also he can just turn his head to look through either his left eye or his right eye at the guy who just tossed him around.
>>97825089You're right now that I think about it. It would be a bit like a runaround attack, he knows where the enemy is so he should be able to attempt a defense.
Ever been called out for your shitty worldbuilding?
>>97791782Using your fetishes for worldbuilding just makes sense, it's something you're passionate about and relatively unique to you which should hopefully come through in your writing.
>>97822242Too bad my fetishes veer too much into magical realm territory to be utilized for worldbuilding
>>97822235>When players ask questions like "Is there an X nearby?", the DM frequently goes "I dunno, if you think it makes sense then describe it to me". Or the DM will pick a player and ask them to describe some feature of the scene or area.Gee, idk why anyone would jump to the conclusion that the DM is having the players do all the worldbuilding from this description of a DM doing exactly that.
>>97823739>When players ask questionsThere's an implicit presupposition here that the players ask questions when they want something to be expanded on; then, if the DM feels it appropriate, the player may participate in expanding on it. The fact the DM "frequently" does this implies the cadence is below whatever threshold they're mentally setting for "too much". The text doesn't support the assumption that the DM is entirely offloading worldbuilding to the players.
>>97824926>There's an implicit presupposition here that the players ask questions when they want something to be expanded on >when they want something to be expanded on Yes retard, that's the point. The DM going "idk, you tell me" is not an answer to the question the player asked. It is in fact signaling to the player that there isn't an answer, and never was. Why on earth would anyone want to play in a world that the DM knows so poorly he can't even answer basic questions about things nearby the playing area.

>>97825014I would go between - in general, millitary vehicles aren't exactly pristine clean when in use (like on actual campaign) ut when they get too dirty, it can actually impact their performance, so while some weathering is considered normal and okay, paint is freqently being re-applied, just like any kind of camo. I recall similar discussion on /toy/ scale model thread once, actual soldier mentioned how as soon as paint chipping would become too visible, they would be told to grab that spray can and at least try to cover it.
>>97823529Damn anon that’s sick. Real nice conversion. I really love the little heavy bolter sensor pintle mount.
Using GW metallics makes me understand why NMM tutorials are so popular. The difference in smoothness of finish betwen the Scale 75 silver scales and Warplock Bronze is so clear irl.Also 28mm minis are so goddamn small compared to modern marines.
>>97825050Very much depends on a military, vehicle, season/time of the year, and campaign. US/NATO deployed to some FOB duty sure does have a lot of time (and standards) to maintain even the paint. But with some poor fuckers deployed for a year+ on a line of contact somewhere in Ukraine, you gonna see some gnarly ass beaten up machines.
I'll start>D&D 5E is a heroic fantasy game (I didn't say good), trying to do anything else should have you using a different system.
>>97824032And this is precisely why newfags should be served variety. Which in turn means exclusively playing one-shots, so they can jump between things and try out different flavours and themes.

>>97821093>>97822579Nta, but try playing next time a character that's greedy. It's the easiest thing to pull, and makes idiots like you still think they are "perfectly rational impartial observer making optimal decisions", rather than a character in the game.

>>97825023>namarti have always been shit and eels have always been greatThis type of shit has annoyed me forever, this is literally what happened with Glaivewraiths. Were shitty from launch and were eventually just hotfixed out of the game. They pulled this exact same shit with underworlds where despite completely having the opportunity to redo the entire cast of warbands and all the garbage ones, GW seemingly thinks it's part of the identity of some things to just be worthless.
>>97825023SCE are the most susceptible to change, because they are literally corpo garbage, artifical and alien to the setting faction invented by people who didn't give a single fuck about the setting, just were dreaming about space marine players buying another sigmarine army. Now they are desperately trying to figure out their role in the setting without squatting them. I have my doubts if they can be fixed. I mean, can you even invent lore of the army of demigods without sounding like a bad fanfiction?
>>97822460we are sigmar kirk
>>97824953Amazing intro to liggers and easy 2x buy since you can build scar vet on carnosaur as skink oracle on troglodon, can have warriors with spears or clubs and normal krox or warspawned. Cosmetic and functional (sans weapons) variety
>>97825048i guess but by the time 3e rolled around they gathered a good amount of fanbase and original charactershonestly I'd reinvent how they play on the table and just make them insanely elite like custodes. Always bothered me that they came in similar unit sizes to slaves when in lore, chaos warriors are manlets compared to them. Underworlds is the only game that gives them the right amount of reverence.

>>97823450There’s two ways to have this go:First, the god Aretta is a new god based on memories and tales of Aretta- The woman’s actual soul isn’t anywhere in the mixSecond, Aretta’s soul became a god while in the afterlife, griwing in power and importance until she popped out of the afterlife as a super-duper soul that qualifies as a god.The real question is how the afterlife works in your setting.
>>97823450How about making them two seperate entities, but both thinking they're the same.Like the worship created an entirely new goddess in the image of Aretta with all her memories, while the old Aretta still remains in her afterlife.Like how Heracles in Greek Mythology after death became both a god of Olympus, while his mortal self remained in the underworld to be later visited by Odysseus.Or how in DC Swamp Thing was originally believed to be the scientist Alec Holland turned into a monster by weird chemicals and a weird swamp, but then it turned out that Alec Holland died in the swamp and the chemicals gave birth to a new creature with all of Alec Holland's memories(the monster also ended up being the planetary avatar of all plant life).

>>97823957>Can i evolve the megidramon and then immidiately kill it to play chaos gallantmon?Yes, EX4 Chaosgallant triggers at EoT regardless of whether or not an appropriate target is on your on board it just won't be able to do anything if a target isn't there.
>>97823957Anything that is not part of a trigger event/condition is only relevant on effect activation. Just like Megidramon's effect, ChaosGallantmon's effect is pending once you hit "End of Turn", then when you chose to activate it, you have to decide either perform the "By" action or not (assuming you are able - if you can not do it in full, the effect will resolve without being activated). As long as you can do it at that point, you can activate the effect.>Can i evolve the megidramon and then immidiately kill it to play chaos gallantmon?Not what you meant, but technically no. Megidramon's [When Digivolving] and any other effects triggered by that digivolution have to resolve first, but then afterwards you can chose to activate ChaosGallantmon's effect next (assuming the card is still in the trash of course). There are effects officially called "immediate-type effects" (aka "interruptive" effects), which is why I bring it up.
>>97822673i am convinced that ouryu digipolice is the most difficult deck to pilot. In this format what would other digi-anons say contenders for this title are?
>>97824293in second place I would put the mexichink purple hybird build - you can pool so many resources in your hand and blow them all at once.
Galacticmon doesn't actually kill all that quickly, does it? Decks these days just sorta shit out bodies like it's funny. You know what that means? We should get a Vemmon floodgate to stop the opponent's on plays.

He was in his prime during the 1920s.
>>97822953The guys right, though. There are thousands of cops and soldiers that train other troops in hand to hand combat and riot tactics, but no one would consider them legendary masters. They're just dudes who can kinda fight better than the average dude.It is stupid when MMA nutriders claim every trad martial artist was a fraud, but it is equally dumb that trad ma enthusiasts get outraged at any suggestion that their heroes were decent fighters, as opposed to unstoppable crawling machines.TQ; A martial arts master would be a great pc in CoC.
>>97822953Ip Man famously got his ass kicked so hard, twice, that he stopped telling people he was a martial artist.China has thousands of fake masters leading massive cult-like kung fu organizations who make McDojo tough guys look like world class killing machines. If they ever get conceited enough to believe the lies they tell their students about how powerful they are, they usually end up in an exhibition match with some low tier wannabe pro fighter and then they get their shit rocked so hard that the Chinese government has to step in and run a demoralization campaign against the fighter for daring to expose some retarded fraud who is otherwise good for tourism and PR.
>>97819486>He was in his prime during the 1920s.Try playing Feng Shui instead. There are still horrifying monstrosities to fight.
>>97822953Imagine being a tcmcuck in 2026
>>97823800>Ip Man famously got his ass kicked so hard, twice, that he stopped telling people he was a martial artist.Yeah, when he was a teenager, by two accomplished Kung Fu masters that would eventually become his teachers.Look, the fact that the Gracies exclusively invite China's biggest lolcows to fight against people that have actual training so they can promote their sham of a fighting system at the expense of their competitors doesn't mean that each and every single chinese martial artist ever is or was an incompetent Bullshido dealer. Especially since there's plenty of MMA champions (such as Anderson Silva and Tony Ferguson) that have incorporated Wing Chun in their personal fighting styles. You can't really say that a dude that quelled riots for a living and taught other dudes to do so "didn't regularly fight people", nor you can affirm that "he wasn't a good fighter" despite him having managed to come on top of 1950s Hong Kong fighting circles. Ip Man certainly wasn't the invincible superman the chinese propaganda movies based on his life describe, but he was by no means someone a run-of-the-mill modern MMA jobber could have a go with in a street fight and expect not to be put into a coma before he can even think about tackling him to the ground.

>>97821058>A lot of the similarities might just be general features shared by their ethnic group like having a sharper nose, being skinny etc.Which probably remind Stillstorm of her homeworld.She is old by wartime Loroi standards, and has seen generations of warriors die.

Now that the dust has settled, is it the D&D killer it was hyped up to be?
>>97824302It really is inspired by dnd!
>>97820448My one curiosity about this game;Can someone explain to me why it's bad?Every review Ive tried to look up has boiled down to>Its bad>Its goodBut nobody gets into stuff like mechanics or how the game is played or why someone would prefer Daggerheart over something different, or what it does better or worse than 5e or other systems.
>>97824851Daggerheart sold itself as character and narrative-focused, but is actually just combat focused. The damage system is more restrictive than you'd expect with a clunky damage threshold system. Nearly all abilities and cards characters have are focused on combat and combat alone. The arbitrary restrictions placed on what cards people can have, because you're not allowed to have two characters with the same domains, even though you can print more, just introduces completely arbitrary game-y-ness to the logic of the game. So instead of being narrative-first, it's mechanics-only in ways that are often baffling because many actions and rational extrapolations of what kinds of abilities and features your character has are tied to the cards they are allowed to hold. And since combat is the only thing that really matters or offers any kind of threat to players, you're incentivized to run combat-heavy card loadouts with the highest chance for broken combos that trivialize battles anyways.And then there's the hope and fear system, which is just a totally arbitrary meta-currency that controls when or if you are allowed to use many cards. The GM can't really do shit unless you build up some fear, but the loose initiative system usually means the players just do whatever they want, killing everything in sight, until they accidentally roll enough fear for the GM to retaliate. And if you're not rolling fear, that means you've got tons of hope to activate and trigger tons of abilities and synergies on each other's turns, allowing you to snowball harder. Because Initiative order is whatever THE PLAYERS want it to be, they can freely set up the most effective combos.As for the parts that are seemingly roleplay or character focused, most of them aren't much deeper than D&D's backgrounds, except it's up to the players to make up whatever they want and then choose when they get to give themselves a bonus or when a connection with another PC matters.
>>97824951IME, the hope/fear dice isn't actually nearly so one sided, unless the entire party is rolling hot nonstop.It can lead to some curbstomping situations, but as a GM, I am actually fine with the players having a glorious victory every so often.
>>97824851>Can someone explain to me why it's bad?No, because it's pretty good. The mechanics are pretty superfluous. You have hope and fear metacurrency that players and dm get. You succeed and fail with hope and fear, and you're obligated to describe some "yes or no and" on the spot. Nobody is an actor with lots of experience so most tables will just ignore that core conceit of the system. When you ignore that stuff, you think why aren't we just playing D&D.
