>>97821455THE DIGIVOLUTION IS UP AND RUNNINGDIGI-SEE DIGI-HEAR DIGI-KNOW IT WAS COMING
>>97821019>Have you picked up anything from AD01?Not from the new cards, but i bought 3 lucemon cm and 1 yggdrasil 7d6 to complete my 7GDL deck, since their prices finally dropped.
>>97821475YOU RUN AROUNDI RUN AROUNDWE'RE ALL GONNA RUN RUN RUN AROUND
>>97821019>TQA bunch of reprints that I needed for several decks (like Mastemon, Lucemon Falldown, X-Antibody, BT14 Koromon, BT6 Tsunomon, etc.) + plus some of the new cards but as far as new SRs go, only Gaiamon Ace, Shoutmon X7 and the Hybrids. I wanted to buy Siriusmon as well but I'm not sure about it yet.The new SRs are way too expensive, even the fucking rares are more expensive than usual.
>>97821834>even the fucking rares are more expensive than usual.Packs cost twice as much and have half as many (new) rares
>I can fix her>she can make me worseWhich way, Terran man?
>>97818695I like the subtext that stillstorm, from taben, who lost one of her daughters in a previous battle, decided to send Talon away from the fleet. Ostensibly so she can train some new pilots, but if you notice talon has the same hair and eye color as stillstorm.. meaning talon probably resembles her late daughter.
>>97818876But she also sent Spiral, who doesn't.
>>97819309How else would she transfer the diral-seii? By post?
>>97815377I like how the Umiak bridge is vaguely retrofuturistic, especially with the monitors embedded in the walls compared to the floating displays of the Loroi.>>97818876A lot of the similarities might just be general features shared by their ethnic group like having a sharper nose, being skinny etc.
>>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. She probably experiences some form of survivors guilt when she sees another interceptor squadron almost die to the last Loroi, especially one from her homeworld.
I'm not much of a theorycrafter DM. I'm more of an action DM. I'll discuss build options all day with a player as I'm actually good at it but I'm ready to get playing ASAP. What about you guys?
>>97821401"Theorycrafting" was always cancer to me. I play loose with the rules on purpose just to fuck with autists with "perfect" builds. It's a ROLEPLAYING game, not a spreadsheet simulator.
>>97821859You don't even need to do that, just have encounters not happen in an empty room
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.
>>97821711>Massive tomeYeah, I guess having two 300+ books is so much better than a single, <250 pages book
>>97811115Even by this criteria, Risus is still a better newbie game than 5e, because 5e is just as much just a resolution mechanic and character creation, but it takes a shitload more page count to do it than Risus does.
>>97801119Here's one: while the long campaign is a noble goal and probably the ideal way to game, most tables should probably be focusing on shorter campaigns (like the 3-8 session range), and one shots, especially starting out.
>>97821809Got no argument with this one. Actually seems sensible and not bait.
>>97820170True!

You're emulating the idea of a character rather than reinterpreting it, in the same way a cargo cult makes a radar dish out of straw. >you are extremely mentally weak, and can't decide or distinguish on your ownWhat a bizzare accusation for you to make when you are advocating for a machine that thinks for you? Especially against me, someone saying they do everything manually. Im lazy and weak willed for... working harder? Because i want a higher quality result, even if it takes longer to achieve? okay bro>just follow artists on twitterIm not retarded so i dont have a twitter. Also thats not helpful for searching by art style, medium or content, and artstation is a bit of a mess that more often than not doesnt have the thing im reverse-searching. Call it a skill issue if you like, but it doesnt change the fact that our lives are now harder, not easier. Its an admission of failure that the technology has tangibly made every site you listed worse

>>97821769>No, by refusing contact with intentional media you deny yourself purpose in the first place. You're emulating the idea of a character rather than reinterpreting it, in the same way a cargo cult makes a radar dish out of straw.um no, purpose comes from the person, the ai emulates, the person uses it with purpose>What a bizzare accusation for you to make when you are advocating for a machine that thinks for you?this is your projection, i'm saying it's possible to use ai without allowing it to think for you yet you seem convinced that it's impossible, so the point stands>Also thats not helpful for searching by art style, medium or content,yes it is, you just follow a bunch of artists and filter out recommendations, then you have the art you want and never see ai art on it>it doesnt change the fact that our lives are now harder, not easierspeak for yourself, the adage that it's the fate of the stupid to have difficult lives applies to you pretty well here
I used AI to generate character tokens for an online game I had to prepare in less than 6 hours on a laptop where I didn't have my folder of saved character art. It did its job, the results were lame, didn't really matter.
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.
>>97814849You forgot one factor. Both the Beginner Box and Essentials comes with a paper code that gives you $20 for free for their store. It's only a one time thing so you can't repeat it or even get one from the other box, but that free $20 makes the beginner box a far better deal.>>97817532They've already revealed the changes and its functionally some stuff getting moved up to Advanced, some stuff moving down to Standard, a couple things getting errata'd.
>>97812390All hobbies should be free. Charging players to play your game is theft.
Blood and Plunder has a pretty good starter set.
>>97821224Especially when you don't actually want to arbitrate rules because "Math HARD," so 40 bucks for a hardcover book that just tells you "I dunno, figure it out for yourself" is asking a lot, especially after enshitifying the art...

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?

>>97819162The rider watches his charge depart, then visibly relaxes; his shoulders drop and his posture loosens."Busy day, huh?", the man asks. "Battles always are.", the rider replies sombrely. "But yes, this one was a rush. Men scattered all over the place, dying every which way and what.""Fancy a rest? Plenty of room under the tree, I could use some company now that he's... ", he nods towards the corpse, a sentence that unlike some things does not need finishing. The rider looks like he's about to reflexively refuse, but then he holds and thinks for a moment. "You know, I think I shall. Not for long, there's still plenty of work to be done. But the horse could use a break." The rider came and propped the scythe up against the tree, then slowly lowered himself down beside the man and leaned back. "Ah, that's better."They sit in silence for a few moments, then at length the man ventures, "I don't suppose you'd happen to know who won? The battle, I mean.""You know that even if I had been paying attention I couldn't tell you. Not my place. Besides, from what I've seen it looks like everyone lost. Except the ravens, of course. But then, that's what most battles look like from my perspective."Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97819172The man seems to think about this for a few seconds, then mentally shakes himself and moves on. The conversation continues, mostly about travel; the man had journeyed far and wide in his military career, and the rider... well, the rider had been *everywhere*. He knew the best tavern in every city the man had ever been to; he didn't know them quite as well as the worse taverns, but he could still talk at length about the quality of the cooks, the beer, and the clientele. He appreciated quiet drinkers; less work for him. Being rushed off his feet with plague victims, and then having to hurry over to the other side of town because some fool had started a bar fight over nothing but spilled beer... well, it wasn't his place to judge, but sometimes he had a few choice words for the participants. The man keeps his mouth shut at this point; now that it was all over and there was time to get some perspective, he wasn't entirely sure this whole battle was, in the grand scheme of things, any more noble than your average tavern brawl.The rider also knew the castle out in the hinterlands where the man had taken work for a while, and the streets in the southern ports where the streetwalkers walked said streets in only gauze dresses, and the stretch of river just outside the man's hometown where the fishing was always good and the willows gave shade on a hot summers day. The rider manages to get a laugh out of the man a couple of times, with memories of places they know, common acquaintances; former acquaintances, in the man's case. Eventually though the conversation peters out, and finally the rider says, "I think the time has come for me to make a move. There is still plenty of work to be done. But I thank you for your company, sir.""I suppose so.", the man says grudgingly, and then he stretches, and gets to his feet; the rest has done him good, he feels a lot less tired now. "Probably time for me to be going as well."
>>97819182"Yes. Yes, I think it is.", the rider says. The man looks at him, puzzled, then back at the tree. His body still lies there, propped up against it. "Oh.", he says. He looks back at the rider and sees the scythe in his hand; he hadn't even seen him pick it up, he was that quick with it. "Yes.", the rider says simply."Well. What now?"Without saying anything, the rider stretches out his arm. And looking in that direction - the direction his friend just left in - the man does see a light in the distance, like a ray of sun coming down through a break in the clouds. "Ah. I don't suppose you could tell me... you know, where I'm going."Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97819194The man nods in thanks one last time to the rider, then steps away, and raises a hand in farewell. And then he turns, and sets out on the road once more; a journey he must make alone, but one that's now a little less lonely, thanks to the rider with the pale horse. The rider watches in satisfaction as the man heads towards the light. * * *After about ten paces the man stops and calls out loud enough for the rider to hear, "Those ravens are going to eat my eyes, aren't they?""I'm sorry, but yes. I'm afraid it's generally what they do.""Bugger." The man pauses. However, after a moment he shrugs, and with a lightness in his step he continues on his way. The ravens watch him go, staring at his back as it gets farther and father away. Maybe it's just curiosity, but they have the decency to wait until he's out of sight before they return to their work.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>Perfect setting don't exi-Tyranny is perfect in vibe, aesthetic, tone, lore, and history. I might port it into GURPS Dungeon Fantasy.
>>97792105Man I loved that game, shame about the third act though, or rather lack of it
>>97794453Tyranny explicitly was early iron age though, the evil empire is a mix of Neo-Assyrian and Achaemenid Persia
>>97816282EH either or.
>>97792105>Settings that should be TTRPGsLiterally nothing prevents you from picking any given setting and run it on any fucking game that isn't custom-made for specific setting.Games that exists solely so a setting X can be done in them are one ofthe dumbest design schools in existence. It achieves fuck-all and is just a shitty marketing gimmick to sell the game based on the fucking wrapper, not the content>b-but setting is contentOh really? So I guess it matters not what crunch I'm going to add. Guess time to write a 2d6 hack for Tyranny and sell it to morons like you. Should take about a day to do so. And it's going to be perfectly lore-accurate. Never mind it's going to be only lore

Welcome to /2eg/, a thread dedicated to all things 2nd Edition D&D related - including settings, lore, modules, and derived systems (Alternity, Buck Rogers XXVc, For Gold and Glory, Hackmaster, Myth and Magic, and more).Since 2e draws heavily from earlier editions, older modules are welcome too. Other media derived from AD&D (such as Infinity Engine video games) also has a home here.It's what you play, not how you play it. RAW or homebrew, as long as your table is having fun, there's no wrong way to play.There's a surprisingly complete 2e fan wiki for rules stuff, it's excellent for quick reference:https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/Advanced_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_2nd_Edition_Wikiad&d 2e archiveaHR0cHM6Ly93ZWIuYXJjaGl2ZS5vcmcvd2ViLzIwMjUwMjA0MTczNzUwL2h0dHBzOi8vdGhlLWV5ZS5ldS9wdWJsaWMvQm9va3MvcnBnLnJlbS51ei9EdW5nZW9ucyUyMCYlMjBEcmFnb25zL0FEJkQlMjAybmQlMjBFZGl0aW9uLw==Remember to keep things civil.Thread Question - why the 2e hate?
>>97821765Take any single OSR game and seperate it from the /osrg/, and I can guarantee you with mathematical certainty it would be even slower than the near dead /osrg/.
>>97821765>the fact they want in OSR general proves that 2e cannot survive on its own, just not good enough of a systemI disagree. There's shitloads to talk about in relation to 2e, mainly the settings and fluff side of things.I mean let's be frank, 3.5 is mechanically dogshit and that's got a general going that's been here since day 0.
>>97821719I mean, as I said before here (>>97821046), I run a classic-style OSR sandbox using 2e. I'll be honest in that I've never really been especially convinced for any of the arguments posters in /osrg/ give for the existence of a hard line between 2e and the OSR. I also understand not wanting to change the thread back to its previous, arguably more permissive OP, because that would feel like capitulating to a troll.I agree that most of 2e's products are intended for a very different play style from 1e, but that's not a hard rule. 2e does have adventures that work quite well in the classic style (read Kingdom of the Ghouls or Mud Sorcerer's Tomb and tell me you don't get excited about placing those as locations in your hexcrawl). A lot of those great 2e settings are also well suited for the classic OSR style. I ran a killer hexcrawl in Dark Sun for a few months!In my eyes, there's enough permiability there that more emphasis should be placed on what can be shared rather than drawing a hard line in the sand. The setting emphasis ain't a bad idea though. In an ideal world, maybe we'd have something closer to a /old school dungeon crawler general/ and an /old school setting general/, but that's not going to happen with everyone dug in like they are right now.
These trolls putting on a play is pretty pathetic, because, at the end of the day, no matter what they say in their posts or how hard or much they lie, this board doesn't care.There is no singular entity that opposes them. There is no committee, no leadership, no communication beyond what is said on this board. Just individuals seeing what the trolls did and do while those trolls expect people to believe anything they say despite everything they've done to try and decieve people in the past.It's like there's always a new low to them to be discovered.
>>97821774>I've never really been especially convinced for any of the arguments posters in /osrg/ give for the existence of a hard line between 2e and the OSR.See, now this is an actual discussion we can have (So long as we both ignore the screeching of the autist who is going to get very upset about us having it), I posted here >>97819768 about gold for XP and how 2e changed it.Yeah I know it's an optional rule, but I do think 2e incentivises dick punching and story crunching too much, to the detriment of the more flexible structure of a traditional OSR campaign.For the record I'd absolutely leave a setting like Dark Sun up on cinderblocks to get parts for an OSR campaign.But you can't look me crooked in the eye and say with a straight face that anything in Beyond the Prism Pentad, Black Flames (Lmao, enjoy your poison shitheads) or the design approach to Valley of Dust and Fire is a good fit.Which is a shame because from where it stands, I can see a version of Valley of Dust and Fire that'd fit perfectly, concept wise, in a classic OSR sandbox, a high level dungeon that's meant to require months, years even, of preparation if you're going to even get to it, let alone face its master.But it's focus lies elsewhere, even insisting right at the end that no you shouldn't let the party take on the Dragon no matter how well prepared they are because that'd fuck up The Story of the setting.I just think they're different enough to need separate threads.But I can at least respect where you're coming from anon and I'm glad to hear the argument being made by an actual human being rather than queefed out of a cunt for once.
