>>97819486Chinese people have a commonly held belief that being extremely rude and insulting towards supernatural beings (ghosts, spirits, demons, etc) will have the supernatural being flee. This makes Chinese ghost hunting videos pretty funny because the ghost hunter is clearly scared out of their mind while kicking open doors and yelling "Fuck your mother!", "Eat shit!", or other insults.So, with that in mind, Ip Man would probably be throwing every insult in the book at the Lovecraftian horror while fighting it and pissing his pants at the same time.
>>97828359>>97826582Within this framework, Bruce Lee's struggle against the Guandao-wielding demon in picrelated movie makes a lot more sense. What if, once you reach a certain level of martial mastery, you have to be very careful not to turn into fucking Lo Pan because of your ambition, and find ways to stay grounded and refute the otherworldly truths that you accidentally exposed yourself to? How do you cope with the fact that you will somewhat have to limit your potential in order not lose your humanity, and find a way work around your human limitations with nothing but strategy and technique to deal with the masters that choose a different, ghastly path and seek to either corrupt or murder you? Can your Kung Fu be good enough to survive duels against adversaries that went beyond human limits?Now, in my headcanon, Beggar So became a degenerate gambler and a drunkard for real as a way to cope with the fact he had to duel eldritch-powered martial arts masters out to get him with nothing but his bare hands for his entire life.

>>97828388Actually, I'm completely in favor of him beating the shit out of fraudolent masters that claim to have supernatural powers, and I laugh at how the commies get all pissed off about it. Fuck commies.

>>97827995Isn't the Not Cathay for AoS meant to be more inspired by the Yuan or Qing dynasty than the Ming-inspired army that Cathay is in TOW?
>>97827995>>97828280According to the leaks Not-Cathay are going to be evil nomadic snake worshippers.So it's actually "not-Khuresh"
>>97827995None of this is true, pretty weak bait.
>>97828366Other places in WF worship Snakes Khuresh is just ruled by Blood Naga they might not worship Snakes
The only Chinese snake “god” I can think of is Nu wa, who is *really* hard to paint as evil iirc. I also don’t know if she really has a relation to those two dynasties. Ngl though, having a Chinese snake deity has some implications when you also plan on implementing fucking Japan of all things in there. I mean, for Kami’s sake, Orochi is probably more famous than the hydra in Greek myth at this point.

How do I win Monopoly?
>>97827221By being the last player to ragequit.
>>97827221Play strict RAW, buy up as many orange and pink properties as you can, try and exhaust the housing supply by not upgrading to hotels
>>97827221>Buy every property you land on>Get as many monopolies as you can (preferably the middle properties), making bad trades is worth it if you can get a monopoly>Always bail out of jail earlygame, but sit in jail later in the game when all properties are bought>DO NOT UPGRADE HOUSES INTO HOTELS>There is a strict limit of 32 houses available in the game, once all 32 are used no player can buy anymore houses, use this to your advantage and buy up as many houses as you can so your opponents can't buy anyOther than these above tips the game mostly comes down to the roll of the dice. Get confortable too because games of Monopoly tends to take a few hours to complete.
>>97827774>>97827742I've tried this strat with my gf but whenever she realises she can't win she starts trying to distract me with a blowjob and we never finish the game.

>>97818057….why?
>>97827641You can support the people saying we need comprehensive regulation around AI including mechanisms to potentially arrest its development if it looks like skynet is around the corner without being one of the monkeys repeating the same claims about water usage.
>>97827641Yeah, but the same tends to be true of pro-AI arguments, so what can you do?
>>97818057No. I like AI.

>>97828254I picked Alpha Legion because I like their color scheme and I want to try painting with TMM colorsgameplaywise they're generalist legion, so I can just play whatever units I like, so that's a nice bonus
>>97828333Nice trips. SoH starting to like nice too.Transfers, bases, and then these guys are done.
>>97828393Where did you get those kneeling legs?
>>97828415From the 40k devastator kit. The updated one, released not that long before primaris marines became a thing.
>>97828420Oh, the 6e one.
Now that the dust has settled, is it the D&D killer it was hyped up to be?
>>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.
>>97820448What setting?
Not even its creators play it, that should tell you everything.
>>97825322Holy shit, that's so fucking weird.
>>97820505Started running pic related for the group who played 5e as a public pub event since the then DM ran into some life issues. I've already converted two of them to changing their home game, and the rest seem to be really enjoying it as well.
>Join open table night for 5E>Playing a monster expert ranger>combat starts >pull out monster manual and read the stats >DM accuses me of meta gaming This is a DM skill issue right? It’s a roleplaying GAME. Why is he upset that I’m just using all the tools of the game to be a better player
>>97820340knowing about what kinds of monsters and creatures are out there (especially ones that aren't specific individuals) is not the fucking same as knowing exact layouts and secrets of specific places and how NPCs will act
>>97821181Maps exist. People research other people. Knowing how somebody will react and what their weaknesses is exactly how spies work
>>97820328All monsters have a label that floats above their head listing their type, level and faction anon.
>>97818555It’s an OOC resource being used to know stuff your character wouldn’t necessarily know. If he was smarter, he might ask you to roll a Knowledge check as a free action, and give information based on how well you roll.

>>97828257I'm looking it up and I might have got my wires crossed somewhere. Nevermind.On the other hand, there's still the Fighting Uruk-Hai.
>>97828158That would require Russ Bullock to allow people who know what they are fucking doing to work and he can't have that.Just like MWO he never had any clear thought out plan for MW5 and just threw shit at the wall to see what stuck. Now PGI are back to life support mode and doing what they can to string out what remaining assets they have. I am frankly amazed they have survived this long as a company.

>>97827986This better?
>>97827200No, she's just 70 solar years old, which makes her the eldar equivalent of a 13 year old girl. That's why she's both infatuated by the human (because she's young and dumb and doesn't know any better) and shorter then him.

>>97825575Always hated the damn Lutheran triad, their aesthetic turned me off something fierce. They look like a bunch of hobos who just crawled out of the St. Vinnies clothing donation bin. Fucking awful. But I don't have a better idea for what their look should be, so fuck my worthless bitching.Glad to see some warzone talk, ended up cancelling yesterday's game that I promised to report on, couldn't pin down a scenario even after pinching ideas from Chronicles back issues and 40k2e mission cards and just stressing over it left me feeling burnt out and not wanting to play. So my mate and I have pushed it to next week instead. I did some painting today to clear my head and I think I'll just focus on hobby stuff this long weekend instead. Paint some more corpo soldiers and build some terrain.

>>97828367This but unironically
Long time MtG player (17 years?) and with what's happening to the game rn, i don't really have much interest in any of the new sets. Sorcery looks like it could maybe scratch that itch. The art is fantastic and reminds me of legacy MtG art. Anybody here play?I watched a few overview vids, but I'm curious how the actual gameplay goes. For someone who plays mostly EDH, are there any similarities? Is it usually a 2 player match?How long are the matches usually?Is it as much of a money pit as MtG?Convinced a few of my MtG friends to give it a shot based off of the art alone. Just need an idea of what I'm up against in terms of learning curve.
>>97821727If you don't mind a dead game, Mage Wars Arena is pretty dope and you can usually get the complete thing for a decent price.
>>97821717The water decks are pretty dominant right now, but there's still a lot of competitive builds, also people are still trying to figure out what works in general. Cards like Atlantean Fate can be pretty brutal.
Sorcery is based just for printing these two cards alone.
>>97820622play it. It's good, very intuitive. just get a precon set and jam it with a friend. it's good, polar bears and pudge butcher are still my guys.
>>97820809Considering every piece in this game is hand made (so not digital slop), that is great art.
