Vista edition>Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk RED?Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that focuses on simulation gameplay and has a black trenchcoat aesthetic.Cyberpunk RED is the fourth edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that is set after Cyberpunk 2020 following the Fourth Corporate War, focuses on more balanced gameplay and is more streamlined but has less content.You can discuss Shadowrun here too because I also feel bad for those guys.>Cyberpunk Rulesets (The Vault) (May not have all updated rulebooks, check official sources for updates):bit<dot>ly/2Y1w4Md>Resources for RED:https://datapool2045.net/Comment too long.

>>97222225High Tide was the single best example as to why powerlevel shouldn't be the only motivator behind bans.No, I don't want to watch you have a 30 minute turn and not even be able to concede because you can still faceplant at the finish line. Your deck takes forever and it often doesn't even win lmao.
>>97222955I would just want to build mono black discard.
>>97222970Sincerely playing against high tide was some of the least fun I’ve ever had playing magic. At least when affinity is raping me I’m feeling some sort of emotion, even if it is indescribable rage. Going against high tide in MTGO meant either a game where nothing happens at all or a game where I pass turn for 25 minutes and wait to see if I lose.
>>97222985you also have counterplay against affinity. against high tide you either snipe a couple of them with duress or you hope the opponent bricks

How do you run an all dwarf campaign
>>97213348>Why do dwarves use axes? Hammers I can get that's a derivative of forging, but why use woodcuts tools underground? Are they truly the best weapons to use in the close confines of a mine?Short spears would be more handy in tunnel warfare
>>97210535As in too tall?
>>97199654>I think I might run a short dwarf campaign>short
If scottish it too overplayed, what is a good accent for dwarves to have?
>>97223015scottish probably.

>>97218754law: kinda obviousgameplay: promblems with multiple core game mechanics, no mapplay, no objective play, no conceal, activation problems, weapon scaling (looking at something and jst deleting it is not a good mechanic if yor remember D weapons in bighammer befor damagenumbers over 10 was a thing)
>>97218754Impressive... but that guy would just be stuck in your starting zone because there is no way he can manuver through dense killteam terrain, so you would most likely lose on points
>>97221316>no way he can manoeuvre
>>97215105It’s the opposite. I don’t care that much about the lore but i likewise don’t want to play against some ballaching metafag which is the majority of people i’ve met in KT so far. To claim that you just want to “throw some dice” is absurd when metafags are the least casual players you can go against.My last game had my opponent go over the entire meta leaderboard status of the top teams and how the newest dataslate could impact the upcoming this and that other fuckin tournament. Who gives a shit. >>97216044I’ve never met the latter in my life in any game. I would find a /yourdudes/ autist pretty annoying i’m sure but i’ve yet to even meet one to make this observation. The most fun games are somewhere in the middle where it’s a good clean fun game where the rules are observed but both sides remember that we are trying to simulate dudes fighting eachother and not merely moving spreadsheets around
>>97222716>both sides remember that we are trying to simulate dudes fighting eachother and not merely moving spreadsheets aroundNot instigating anything, but what would this look like to you? And how would it impact the game or enhance the enjoyment of the battle? I ask because used to live in a place where our local spot tried to implement a sort of narrative campaign but it ended up just being limply implemented and mostly limited to a whiteboard map that got colored in depending on what faction (Chaos, Xenos, Imperium) won the most games in any given week.For me, KT has fun rules and good game design so just the act of playing is enjoyable; you could strip out the flavor of the teams and it still would be enjoyable on a mechanical level. Obviously the flavor is what adds the special spice to the game, getting to interact with the factions/setting you like and all that comes with that, but at its heart KT is still a warGAME to me.

>>97223005Small mats that function as the base for terrain, they're made by gamemat iirc. Helps to define the boundaries of area terrain like ruins. Storage space is limited, so the terrain bases don't have any base plate attached to them.
>>97223007Fuck off, none of the units that have heavy need a durability boost
>>97222943I've also played at least once a week since release, and in my experience the army that sits in a corner cowering and doing nothing but shooting generally wins.For context, we use player placed terrain (rulebook rules + allotment, so 6 impassables that we also treat as heavy, 4 6x6 medium area terrains and 2 10x10 medium area terrains)Most games end with both players at max primaries but the shooting castle scores Last Man Standing and First Strike which means they win.
I think the shoulders on tbe new termies and drwad would look cool with grave digger style art
>>97223158That sounds so much difference from my experience. How is the castling player clearing objectives and keep units on them without moving out of their corner? How do they deal with multiple units in Rhinos rushing in and charging them turn 1 or 2?Every time I've seen somebody try to do the sit in a corner and only shoot they struggle to get LOS to units in time, can't force enemy units off objectives and get their own scoring units on it in the same turn, and have one or two elite melee units that come flying into their ranks which start rolling up all the shooting units.
>CONCEPT: Neutral-aligned academic necromancer who views death as merely an optimizable logistical problem. His pragmatic and 'ethical' approach to reanimation (ranging from vineyard-pruning skeletons to city-reconstructing zombies) has earned him both recognition and a camp of Kelemvorites protesting at the gates of his tower. Unwittingly, his obsession with transcending the limits of mortality is slowly leading him toward a transformation into an archlich, a result he would, at most, consider merely a 'methodological breakthrough' in his post-vital research.

In your game, do you treat bows as strength- or dexterity-based weapons?
>>97223103Like all weapons in my game, the quality of the weapon, the user's technique rating associated with the weapon, and her strength rating, modified by the skill used, determines effectiveness.
>puckee spamStrength requirements, Ranged skill.You don't put more strength into your draw, that's some video games bullshit. Once you hit the strength requirements to reliably draw the bow, all that's left is hitting more precise. And that's governed by hand-eye-coordination, perception and your skill with ranged weapons.
>>97223129>>97223130>>97223140its a puckee spam thread why are you replying>>97223154why would a captcha stop anyone? if you're mentally ill enough to set up a spambot you're retarded enough to just buy a pass for a couple of dollars a year. its what the GPT4chan guy did
For every 2 points of Dex above 10, add 1 to your roll to hit. For every 3 points of Dex above 10, make an additional attack per attack action at a cumulative -2 penalty. For every 4 points of Dex above 10, increase the crit range of the weapon by 1.For every 2 points of Str above 10, increase the damage of the weapon by 1. For every 3 points of Str above 10, you can reroll 1 damage die per attack. For every 4 points of Str above 10, your melee attacks may cleave to another target within range and your ranged attacks gain 50% of their base range in additional range.

>>97218509thanks a lot! any other games you would recommend for solo play?
>>97221074Think I've already given you enough recommendations for a few dozen hours of play but oh well. For solo make sure to stay away from Card-Driven games. And again chit pull is your friend, after Reds you could play more Ted Raicer games like The Dark Sands. Ambon Burning Sun might be another good one, with the invasion mechanic you're not controlling enormous unwieldy forces which you struggle to forget which counters have moved, it's self-contained beach heads.Non-hex games I've recently enjoyed are Operation Bollebank and Habsburg Eclipse, which are dedicated solo only.I see that you are in a terrible timezone so I'm not going to offer any multiplayer with you but maybe someone else in this thread or in /bgg/ might.

>>97221042Consider implementing the following detail: the actual doom diver has the launching pad streaked with some kind of black grease in order for the goblin to slide without too much friction during the launch, there's even a small bucket of the stuff on the model
>Setting Basically late medieval to early Renaissance Europe >Magic Not really available to players, expect in the form of extremely rare high level magical weapons and items. BBEG should possess magic abilities >Player characters European presenting male fighters only, maximum one low level hedge wizard or shaman>Races All NPCs and PC should be human, finding a non-human village like elves should be extremely rare, unlikely, and magical experience
>>97223072Oh no, how can a game possibly function if the geography isn't realistic?
>>97223078You must be a faglord.
>>97222512Close but no cigar. >basically renaissance to wars of religion and early colonialism mashed together as needed to maximize cool stuff in game >Magic available at cost with clear mechanical risk & reward combined with social mechanics over time>Classless, everyone can learn spells if they have the stats, everyone can fight if they have the stats. Backgrounds are important context for skills but remain inspiration rather than dictation. >Races starting as predominantly human, adding in other races as they are encountered and become allies in a living world that engage with player decisions and blends in the odd in gradual ways to create both a sense of grounded world familiarity and wonder as exploration proceeds
>>97223088The world map is one of the most visible and evocative parts of your entire setting. If it is derivative, uninspired, and lazy, there's a good chance that everything else in your setting is as well.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere.Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help:>n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128>Need a starter dungeon?

>>97222508As a side to the aforementioned disneywood problems, the original Wormskin Zines are well worth looking at and using various parts to add to your campaign. They have a lot of useable material that has a more earnest approach and tone than the newer stuff and more direct use with b/x.
>>97222859FWIW, doing it 24 miles per hex would put it at the size of Italy and Norway and roughly half the size of France. So yeah, arguably too big, but not that big.I know you were probably being hyperbolic, but I did the maths and wanted to share.
>>97223125I was being hyperbolic but the main reason was that my autism is just about weak enough that I couldn't justify doing the maths myself, so well done and thanks.

>>97222115Nah, 3E as a whole, for all its flaws, is definitely Exalted and obviously written by people who care a whole lot about Exalted. The worst parts about 3E, setting aside the mechanical issues of the core, aren't ones where the writers seem like they'd want to write something else but ones where they half-ass things due to obviously being embarrassed of something from the past editions but simultaneously too fond of that something to really let go and change things. I mean things like Raksi being sort of a cannibal monster still but kind of not, or Lilith, or Lover, or, to a lesser extent, Ipithymia.

Any problems you have with Warhammer 40k/Games Workshop over the past few years, anon? Do you see it getting better or worse?
>>97222984It would get better if you would psot your models.
>>97223139I'm poor :(
The focus on competitive tournament faggotry has made 40k one of the most bland wargames I have ever played>Do you see it getting betterNo, luckily enough older players felt the same and there's a couple classic 40k rulesets hanging around. Not to mention being able to go back and play whatever edition I want, it's just a shame I miss out on the huge player pool of mainstream 40k.
I haven't bought a model since like 2023 maybe early 2024. When I bought Dante he was like $35. What the fuck happened? This is legit robbery.
>>97222488They are all vastly different games. Blood Bowl isn’t a wargame it’s closer to chess with variance and many sets of unique pieces.
>>97222553These are British prices, Americans tend to pay at least 20 bucks extra for all Warhammer stuff.
>>97218744GW likes to cover production and design costs of new models and storage cost of older stock by increasing the cost of 40k units. This keeps the profit margins positive even if not every unit sells.
>>97222443Metal is premium.
>>97221959You can get a full old world army for ~300-400 bucks
