On top of what the other anons have mentioned, stars are spoiled, entitled, insufferable man- and womanchildren who cannot have a discreet lifestyle or to avoid doing stupid shit to save their miserable lives. These are people who are used to having everything they want a snap of the fingers away and get away with their retarded antics with one phonecall to a lawyer. Embracing someone like that is a recipe for disaster.

That list was always more of a "would be cool" than a firm plan, they made that clear day of.

Still haven't settled on units of time and weight.
Probably will just keep most time units the same (seconds, minutes, hours).
Will intentionally keep vague about how long the day and nights are.

Months/years are totally different though.
Such time scale is based on the lunar cycle which takes around 400 days. So instead of months a cycle is broken up into the 8 phases of the moon.
The world doesn't have the same tilt or wobble of earth so the differences between seasons is very mild across the world, mostly taking the form of wet and dry seasons.
You generally will only see snow on mountain tops.
Debated with myself if I should make seasons a full lunar cycle long but decided against it and instead will just wing it for whatever best fits the mood I am going for at the time.

But yeah, really not sure on weight. Even if I transpose one from earth I am not really sure which one I should grab and if I should change the unit names or not.

Long in the future, some hyperadvanced civilization has constructed monstrously massive pylons. They’re hundreds of lightyears wide, billions of lightyears long, and they lattice across the universe like a gargantuan spiderweb. These pylons are full of entropy-defying engines, producing matter and energy in a universe where all the stars have long burned out and all the planets are cold wastelands. These pylons are home to septillions of people and… That’s where I get stuck because I have no idea what to do with this setting.

So, I wonder, how do you solve the problem of Mortals Ascending to Godhood?

In my setting, Aretta is the goddess of sorcerers. She was the last of the great Runemasters of the Argenthai, a dying race whose blood is the source of sorcerous power in the modern era. She was the last Runemaster whose ability to cast sorcery was not restricted by the bloodline failings which followed her, and her descendants are far weaker than she is. Aretta was worshipped as an ancestor after her passing, soon venerated as a household god. And as her descendants spread and rose to power, her worship was standardized and proselytized outside the family (though still only people who retain Argenthai blood are the only ones who see a need to worship her.)

How do you bridge the gap between Aretta's death and her ascension? Did her soul come back to become a god? Is it the same Aretta?

Pic unrelated.

>>97823450
There’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 mix

Second, 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.

I think the primary reason why is because IGOUGO is primarily part of GW's Warhammer's game's identity like how paint pots are part of Citadel paint's brand identity.

I don't believe alternate activation will magically fix the wargame, but it is a small improvement.

yeah typical "smart" hfy justification

>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

>>97821609
This.

90% of HFY stories create these laughably pathetic straw-man aliens for humans to dunk on. It’s always been this way. Every now and again something comes out of the sub-genre that’s interesting, but it’s usually trash.

There’s really only 2 stories from HFY that I ever found intriguing:

- Nature of Predators
- and one even older pair of stories that I originally found on the Creepypasta wiki that had humans not actually be anything particularly special, but because Sol is located in the galactic equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle (and a bit of a first contact fuckup) we have a reputation of being “spooky”, Like the Jason Vorhees or Michael Myers of galaxy (even down to the part where they’re not real, just actors playing a part). So we just play up the bit as much as we can as leverage, even having humans that are going to interact with other aliens wear this ridiculous power armor to look more intimidating.

>>97823368
Both of those are shit thobeight. The second one is literally just handing humans plot armor. It COULD be interesting if it was the plot hook for a larger story but the fact that it's the sum total of the story and hands humans a free massive empire makes it at best wasted potential and at worst just more masturbatory wank.

>>97823368
>Nature of Predators
The one where a redditor realized he'd done a heckin' bioessentialism midway through writing his really interesting sci-fi series and to escape the non-existent mob went "No, no, you don't understand, it's not that prey animals would be uncomfortable around predators, it's that the Je-I mean, the Protocols of the Elders of Veganism are engaged in creating a one world order government to enslave the goycatt-I mean, vegetarians."
The one where the writer actively cucked out on their own interesting concept?
That's what you're saying is more interesting than most other series?

How many Chinese riots were put down by one man wing chun-ing his way through dozens of people? Chinese martial arts masters are almost always con-men who usually get their shit rocked in any kind of real fight and then go slink off in shame and pretend they didn't lose. the CCP loves holding up these guys and pretending like they're super legit because they play into China's fictional history of being a mystical, super advanced nation of highly disciplined warrior kings who lead armies of kung fu soldiers who can all kill a man with one touch.

>>97822953
The 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.

>Sure, each human is individually weaker than the giant they serve, but that's always been the case for slavery, a Spartan hoplite was stronger than his helot slaves but he wasn't going to till the fields.
It was roughly the same amount of work for either. Farming was an actually meaningful amount of labor for a Spartan that he didn't want to do. For a giant, the labor the slaves can spare them is utterly negligible. Digging a pit or filling buckets of water should take minutes. It's like getting slaves to tie your shoes. Ridiculous and stupid.

>>97797671
Most TTRPGs are focused on combat and adventuring. Slavery generally only has utility in getting menial tasks done (or, in some cases, like Roman slavery, niche skilled labor as well). The only point of slavery in most TTRPGs would be having extra bodies to throw at the enemy, but you'd have to somehow justify why those slaves don't rebel, run away, etc.

The most practical "slaves" in your traditional TTRPG would be magical creatures that are forced by their nature or some even greater threat to be loyal to you, like a genie or some NPC whose choices are "be a loyal slave to these adventuring autists or get smited by an angry god" or something similar.

>>97797671
My PC has a psuedoslave in one of my games. They're a techie who helps fix up gear my lowborn ganger wouldn't have access to and in return they live a life that's nominally more free than if they were to get captured by the authorities and returned to formal slavery.

>>97820399
If you guys are playing relatively RAW, it is pointless. The transitions in the succession campaign are very poorly balanced (what a shock!) and moving from Cinderak to Temenos you guys should all just reset gangs, or at the very least do something like rehiring gang members ar 1250+400c. Despite your outlier scenario Cinderak isn't deadly enough to warrant the 2000c starting lists, and any new gangs joining in Temenos start with 1000+400. The gang rating and even crew differences will be in the 1000s for just standard gangs, not even considering new joinees or your situation, or the characters randomly joining up. The move from Temenos to Jardlan is much smoother as those are both 1000+400, but even then if you play RAW any continuing gang will just be radically higher rating compared to a starting gang.
Why a continuing gang also gets 250c on top of everything else when joining into the next campaign is beyond comprehension.

In 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.

No worries. Dreamscarred tended to put out a bunch of small single-topic books and then later collect them into one proper sized publication. Highlord came out just before they died so it never got fully incorporated into a larger product; it remains fairly unknown. I really like the class and it has a lot of overlap with my actual favorite (Vitalist), but it's a Cha caster and the powers I want from it stipulate that you have to actually BE a Highlord to know or use them.

I 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

>>97818204
>The AI is nice for that. I hate it I really fucking hate it. But it helps make up for the gaps in my creativity sometimes.
It's making those gaps wider every time you use it.

It doesn't have to, but using AI in place of your own critical thinking will ensure that it does.

>>97820969

Anon, do you really think most employers are going to let people randomly decide to install a program that the employer has never heard of onto a work machine? And that's not even getting into compatibility issues--sure, Word files are pretty straightforward, but Excel's competitors are notoriously inconsistent about which operations are and are not supported and whether or not they translate properly between programs.

>then wouldn't getting an art comission for a character you play be equally impersonal?
I take it you've never commissioned an artist before. You have a LOT of conversations and get a lot of input, assuming you're working with someone half-decent. It's a pretty personalized experience, and I've made more than one friend through commissioning pieces. Unlike an AI, an artist can actually understand and retain the concepts you're getting at.
