We aren’t actually going to war anon. It’s a tabletop wargame and by skewing your list you deny the enemy significant output per turn. Like your opponent is playing with a hidden points handicap if you skew.

At what age do magic users start training in your setting?
40 replies and 4 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>97330092
magical aptitude usually manifests at around 12 but some prodigies manifest it at a younger age.
Some wizards take in students as young as 8 before they show signs of magical aptitude if any on their parents had magical ability, gambling on getting ahead of the curve and raising a powerful apprentice. Most of the time they just get a decent but utterly nonmagical helper but the 1 time out of 10000 it works out the extra years of early magical training pays off extremely well.
some wizards take on very young apprentices for other reasons as well.
>>
Depends. Wizards ideally start as soon as the kid has learned to read and write, while shamans and the like either follow whatever local tradition they might have, or get snatched by fairies and come back as raving magic lunatics two hundred years later. Priests begin training whenever, it doesnt really matter; if you can get a god to think you're his nigga, you get magic powers.

Puckee is a known redditor who has spammed his commissions for 4-5 years as the other anon has pointed out, his threads are all low quality with vague questions just to so he can post his commissions. At one point, he had at least 3 threads up at all times and posted his commissions weekly in various threads. See his "lich" commission he spammed throughout late 2021 to 2022 throughout that year almost weekly.
https://archive.4plebs.org/_/search/image/0uAsjic8baHEf61Jm2Wu6Q%3D%3D/page/4/
He has also spammed his commissions on other threads like the draw thread, trying to pass his paid commissions as fills.
https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/92628290/#92687500
Anons picked up on his spam in 2022 and he has also infested the character art threads since then, posting at least a few of his commissions in every thread.

Absolutely. Asteroid composition is anything but monolithic, as it were, but loosely falls into 3 categories, C, M, and S type. Those are easy to remember since they are short for carbon, metal, and silicate, or stony. C-type, carbon rich asteroids, are the most common, making up 75% of asteroids, while S-type, silicate or stony asteroids, comes in a distant second at 17% , M-type Metallic asteroids are much less numerous.

Now when it comes to mining that hardly tells the whole story, M-types are mostly nickel and iron, neither of which we’d particularly want to bring home to Earth, but which would be valuable for building stuff in space. For that matter there are also several sub-types of asteroids and two different classifications systems, and the asteroid belt is anything but the only place you can find asteroids nor the nearest place to find them. It also is not unusual for two asteroids of different types to blunder into each other and merge or to be somewhere in between these types.

C-types, the most common asteroid and also the ones that gets ignored a lot in asteroid mining conversations focused on impressing folks with the idea of mountains of gold, are quite valuable themselves. They contain lots of water, which is never a bad thing to find in outer space. But they also contain plenty of life-useful elements and particularly noteworthy is phosphorus. Something that is quite hard to find on Earth in concentration and a major bottleneck on agriculture, so if asteroid mining ever gets heavily developed and cheap, that is the sort of thing we might bring home since it is valuable. Not as valuable as gold or platinum of course, nowhere near, and these big space boulders have a lot of those.

It's still a cold as hell planet where sunlight is fleetingly rare, straight out of Ray Bradbury's 'All Summer in a Day' where kids need to use industrial sized tanning salons just avoid vitamin D deficiencies. It's so hard to see anyone coming out of this world with a dark skin tone.

That could be part of the reason why the Tau got grimderped the way they did. I also think that the client races were, in a great irony, looked at by sensitivity readers and deemed 'problematic.' Why? The client races might be second base to the Tau but they are clearly recognized by the Ethereals as furthering the Greater Good. They all have their own strengths and weaknesses that the Tau not only respect but find a way to fit into their burgeoning civilization, often united only by shared misery at the hands of the Imperium- even humans join the Tau Empire.

Still dystopian but it's clearly better than the alternative. This runs counter to DEI as not only are the Tau meritocratic, but the concept of separate species who have their own goals is a serious badnono according to the current fanatics in lower Blackrock management even with completely different biological setups. And again: a tiny nation with different values resisting a massive bloc more or less ran by obscenely rich aristocrats using a broken ideology to prop themselves up and actually succeeding might scare these people. Probably more than the Black Templars even.

I don't even like the Tau and I'm standing up for them. Way to go Blackrock.

Ah man. I know Geedubs was desperately hoping for Blackrock money but this is hilarious. Goddamn. The Space Wolves are the ultimate product of Nig@synthesis, even bigger than the Hateocracy of Fenrisian legend.

Fenris was a spaceship making factory settled by... Eh... Let's call them 'Zero-G Ball Columbians.' As Columbian industries were increasingly contracted out to third galactic Grot worlds, Fenris became a mega slum as all the... Hmm... Let's call them 'Golden Men,' left for better planets leaving Fenris, or as it was known at the time: Obama, in the hands of its now unemployed workforce. When the Eldar Empire fell, Planet Obama fell into further irrelevance as what was left of Aeldari investments dried up so the planet became poor as fuck.

Things got so bad even the Grot H1B holders weren't setting up scam call centers and the Stryxis 24/7 owners were tired of getting robbed so they took off. Then the Age of Strife happened and most of the population starved due to EBT and food stamps no longer being available resulting in a societal decline.

Loving playing Snotlings so far. I love having a swarm of the 'worst' players with the lowest strength, worst armor, and a only a sluggish 5 movement. I love being able to reliably dance through defensive screens, attempting fingers crossed throw team mates and bombs, and swarming downed challengers to mercilessly foul. You can call me an autist, but I love making little screams and death-gurgles when the little bastartds get smooshed.

You can detect its jump signature for a few weeks after it leaves, but it doesn't tell you where it went, and isn't so unique that you'd be able to pick it out again if there's a lot of traffic. If they went to the middle of nowhere and your pursuing ships also got there in time, they could pick up the signature again so you at least know you're on the trail, but it's going to be a crapshoot every time. It's not perfect even if you do find a signature since it only tells you roughly how large the jumpship is. Great if you're after something uniquely small or large, not helpful for everything in the middle.

To be fair, third world, Middle Eastern and Islamic culture and the religion itself IS actual sexual dominance and rape culture. You are especially allowed to be a sexist rapist woman hater in Islam if it means raping and or converting non Muslim women. Hence why, how come not enough porn games or "dark fantasy" that is Muslim based and Islamic themed?

Running Ventangle, and have the slightly awkward situation of having to DM a "bad end" for someone wayyyy kinkier than me. They are having a good time but it does feel like I'm not entirely kinky enough.

Do you know for a fact that is the case or just a feeling? You could also present options to let them go as far as they want

What is the counterculture of 2020s, that could be used as the basis for a contemporary countercultural tabletop game?

Take the World of Darkness for example, which was so grounded in the the counterculture of the 90s that it comes across as dated and strange today. How would you update the World of Darkness so that it better represents the counterculture of today?

Yes, I don't blame you.
I'm even surprised that the thread transformed like this.

None of which still have a unified cultural identity or particular aesthetic (beyond liking anime).

To even make it begin to be worthwhile for casters like Oracle, Animist, or others that get either a Legendary Save or Medium Armor scaling, it would have to be like Path to Perfection: a way to choose your own boosts so that you feel like you have stronger opportunity cost. Furthermore, this gets a bit fucky with Cleric and the Doctrines: would you still get Shield Block and Deadly Simplicity on Warpriest, for example?

This all runs on the idea that a generic gish build is even a good idea in the first place. When a core aspect of the gish fantasy is having UNIQUE ways of meshing the distinct system mechanics together so that you actually feel like a full fantasy and not just a tool. Otherwise just play a martial and grab the spellcasting feats if it just about having valuable options to do on your turn.

For example, because Magus and Necromancer are confirmed to be in the same book, I'm hoping (huffing hard on the copium) that there's a distinct Death Knight CA that combines the two. A Magus wouldn't normally have room in their action econ to be commanding thralls nor a Necromancer have the sturdiness or weapon score to be on the frontlines (inb4 magus defenses, it's still better than playtest Necro). Anything that combines the two would have to make up unique synergies that enable their features, like sacrificing thralls to reup Spellstrike as a free action, or letting anyone standing next to a thrall count as flanked for your magical strikes. These can't be generic powers that a universal gish option can allow, it is most reasonable to be a thing that specific classes can engage with.

Barbarians are really fun to play, although I haven't tried one with the remaster, and grappling as a combat tactic isn't just cool but also useful and goes a long way if properly used in combo with other melees there might be in your party. I'd go for that and

I second the other Anon suggesting barbarian. It kind of sucks that you'll be playing an unarmed barbarian but not using the dedicated unarmed instinct (Animal Instinct, which is incredible), but it's not the end of the world. Animal instinct gives you access to damage dice up to two sizes larger than your d6 jaws, which is about +2 damage on average, increasing another die size at level 7, but Dragon Instinct's flat elemental rage damage is reliably higher than Animal Instinct's rage damage bonus, so it sorta evens out. The thing that catches my eye about the Dragonblood ancestry is Tenacious Jaws. Barbarians are good grapplers, especially in a free archetype game where they can easily steal fighter feats, and Tenacious Jaws allows you to blast enemies that you have grappled with your breath weapon and force them to take a result one step lower than their roll. Not only is that incredibly heavy metal (pic related), but it's something you can build around.

For ancestry feats, you're pretty much locked into Draconic Aspect at level 1 to get your jaws, then Breath of the Dragon via the Ancestral Paragon general feat at 3, followed by Tenacious Jaws at 5. Because we're building around the breath, you also 100% want Formidable Breath at 9 to increase the damage die size, and I'd round it out with Deadly Aspect at level 13.

Class feat-wise, I feel like the progression for your free archetype is fighter (to immediately grab Combat Grab and Reactive Strike) into Martial Artist (to grab Follow-up Strike). Key barbarian feats are Dragon's Rage Breath (might as well double up on breath weapons) and Thrash (something to do with your third action when you've got somebody grabbed). Not a bad idea to grab Snagging Strike from fighter at some point too.

I figure the basic idea is Strike/Snagging Strike > Combat Grab > Thrash (on hit) or Follow-up Strike (on miss). If they haven't escaped by your next turn, blast them, then Strike them again. Rinse and repeat.

They mentioned in a post that the Hellfire Crisis logo shouldnt be on the mockup, its not tied to the whole thing. Just Lost Omens: High Seas.

Not gonna lie, this whole group has been fantastic for translation from the initial lore into PF, the basic guidelines I was given for this one was basically: girl falls into a portal in a cave somewhere, ends up near the River Styx, gets drafted by Psychopomps to guide lost souls to the afterlife.
Like, the build practically writes itself with how it matches up so well, which is a shock since apparently the streamer in question has never done tabletop before.
