>>97826652>>97827779In magic terms, creatures enter tapped and with summoning sickness. Go Solo lets them enter untapped and with Haste.They could have worded it better, but its a solid mechanic.
>>97826573It'll never replace Magic as the default tcg people play, it'll never replace Pokemon as the default collectible tcg. Even if it was a stellar system with fantastic art nerds have too much sunk cost in MtG/Pokemon to ever branch out.
>>97827886How about creating your own thing? Oh wait, in today's stupid world everyone is chasing the safe option instead of doing something new and getting a market without competitors, it's too much risk for retarded modern investors.
I'm really not sure, but there's still some time to decide. On one hand, nowadays 50 bucks for 2 starter decks with dice included doesn't sound that bad of a deal, especially since they keep adding some bonus to all tiers. I do like keeping starter decks of different out of print games around like self-contained games just to see how rules evolve in card games though.On the other hand... it looks so incredibly boring. Art is boring, gameplay looks boring, even these extras that should be exciting look so bland, like the deckboxes. These companies really should take some risks with innovation before every experience whatsoever is slopified into purgatory.But what do I know? They make the big money after all. Maybe this is what people actually want.

>>97826409Mao had no problems with Kung Fu practitioners who were brainwashed into being obedient communist lackeys. Unfortunately for him, there weren't that many around. At least not as many to convince him that a purge was unnecessary.
>>97826423Cultivation novels are essentially about a bunch of guys using magic, alchemy, and violence to transcend to higher planes of existence, it doesn't take much to switch the Celestial Bureaucracy to gibbering idiot gods.
>>97826382>It's a well-documented fact that Ip Man used to be a copThat doesn't mean he kung-fu'd his way through riots or that he trained cops to use wing chun to fight rioters. You're conflating basic training, which all cops do, with the movies where this guy was an untouchable badass.

Do you prefer a ton of detail fleshing out an adventure module, or do you prefer only the most note worthy and explicit features required to run the adventure? there's two competing schools of thought on how one creates more work for the DM than the other. However they might be overlooking the effort that goes into summing and paraphrasing down a lot of fluff into actionable material to execute at the table, and how flexible the canvas is to do whatever it is you wish with the more straightforward template.

>>97815256I like DCC, and I pretty much agreed with what QB said about it.

So I learned about this obscure system called Dungeons and Dragons. Think it's worth trying to introduce my GURPS 5e group to it? Spell slots seem like a really interesting mechanic I've never seen before.

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?

>>97826233Where's being a completely incapable retard who needs to where diapers at age 27?Also, you forgot Obsession (Trains).
>>97823845The issue is that GURPS is a turn based rpg and doesn't really represent how difficult it'd be to carefully aim for the head or even retaliate against someone foaming at the mouth and wailing in you, which would be quite overwhelming. Except AoA just gives you a +4 to your own hit chance and in turn you're completely defenseless. The opponent just parries or dodges your AoA and easily attacks back.Ye olde zerkers had shields and defended themselves, they weren't completely careless and easily headshotted.

>>97739503What's wrong with enuncia? Like, have you even read the Ravenor scene where Tuxedo-wearing pysker Toros Revoke summersaults around the paired golden rhyming swords of a golden daemon Incunabula while blasting it with primordial un-words? Or are you just a secondary who judges Black Library authors by their work's wiki write-ups?
>>97827405Because, chucklefuck, I don't think 'alakazam' and 'open sesame' and 'expecto patronum' fit the idea that psykers are all one mental slip away from becoming demonic onaholes or enslaver gates. Magic words are a gateway drug to the final climactic battle between Horus and the Emperor being a game of fucking yugioh, and if you try to tell me that was good writing I'll know for sure you're just shitstirring.

>>97822221I'd kill to have a Vorazun model. She's awesome and I'd love to have her fighting beside Zeratul, they'd probably not get along too well on account of the whole "Zeratul killed her Ma" thing.
>>97822316Let my boy go, he did nothing wrong.
>>97827655Seconding Vorazun as the #1 pick, Selendis, Alarak and Talandar would also be great. Just give me more Protoss, I fucking love my Protoss.
>>97827655I support more big Protons titties, no matter how they get in the game.
>>97827655I'm pretty sure Vorazun knows why Zeratul had to kill Raszagal. And likely agreed that death was preferrable to being infested by whore-igan.

>>97827791Thanks for your input anon.
>>97827549>>97827666armor mixing was also a very established thing because supply issues had soldiers pilfering corpses for any undamaged components they could find.first anon is being facetious i think
>>97827842What was the nu-lore regarding beakie armour being mass produced again?
>>97827791But it isn't realistic scale at all. In real life, helmets always make someone's head look quite a bit larger. And those helmets aren't even made to stop bullets like power armour. Even considering marine heads being proportionally smaller because they're suppose to be huge, nu-mark marines would need to have baby heads beneath those helmets for them to be able to fit.
What's the appeal of evil women?
>>97815505To be fair, why the hell did women decide to be a fucking enigma?

>>97816639Well, considering the jump from "this guy", singular, to "why are they all" I suspect it's largely due to you being a smarmy little shit with a narrative to push because you got butthurt over not getting the free publicity you thought you were entitled to.

>create a system>it's good>but have a huge ego and expect the system to become popular through word of mouth>do 0 PR for the system>do Pikachu face when the system tanksLiterally the story of every new indie system in the last 20 years. What's wrong with people in this industry? Does this industry only attract retards or what? It seems that way because only DND has created an official online service, while the rest believe that Internet is something secondary in the 21st century.
>>97821411>ragebait greentext>look in thread>full of ESLs, food analogies, and bileIt checkout.
>>97821411The problem is more complex than that. It's not just that they don't advertise, but most don't really have any place to advertise that isn't out of their price range. Instagram is the only place I ever recall seeing ads for TTRPG stuff and most of them were either D&D slop like Obojima, which ran ads for months, or they were for high profile kickstarters that had already made millions anyways like that one witch game.The only other ways to get exposure seems to be giving handjobs under the table to D&D youtubers during the brief windows where those faggots feel like making more D&D content will be bad for their career because WotC fucked up again. Unless you've already got an in with that clique, that's not going to be an option either. Likewise for any other version of "get an e-celeb/newsites/popular blog to promote the game"They could go to some indie RPG communities and servers and try to promote there, but then they're shilling in a sea of shills.If they're lucky, Indie Press Revolution might pick up their game, but those retards don't select for quality. They select for vibes and queerness. Even then, the most they'll do to promote your game is leave a stack of the books on their table amongst about a hundred other random, barely curated games.What else does that leave? DrivethruRPG? Itchio? Both of those places are infamously bad about discoverability, let alone ease of search. Putting a game up on either is best for ease of access, but the odds of anyone finding anything you make organically are slim to none.The RPG industry has been suffering with these problems for decades and no one wants to make anything better that would actually help. RPGs need something equivalent to Steam, and instead we've got some retarded storefronts and a bunch of useless niche communities.
>>97821830>You will be retards who ignore reality to live in a fictional world.Yes...that's why I play traditional games.
>>97826705The World of Darkness had free publicity in the form of a bunch of popular books series in the 2000s that openly ripped ideas from the setting (like The Southern Vampire Mysteries). What did White Wolf do? Nothing, literally nothing, just sat on their asses and no lawsuits, no demands to convey to readers that the books are based on their setting, just 0 activity. Honestly, I don't understand how you can do nothing when life has given you a one in a billion chance.
>>97827818Did they rip ideas from white wolf, or were they both ripping ideas from other shit (mainly Anne Rice.) I like WoD but it's mostly derivative as fuck.
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/9fzM6128Comment too long.

>>97827306Wait, so, tyrannosaurs had feathers but not the morphologically near-identical allosaurs? How does that work? Freakishly convergent evolution? Tyrannosaurid carcinization?

What's the problem?Just guessing here, but some possibilities:>the parasaurolophus was a swamp/shore dwelling animal and wouldn't be fucking around on a dry plain of some sort>I think it's supposed to have a ducklike bill rather than a deer muzzle?>for all I know the two species were separated by millions of years and/or existed on separate continents

>>97827395Great question. Carcinsation doesn't apply as they both shared the theropod body plan of claw footed biped, those are inherited rather than convergent traits. However, increased size, enlarged skulls, and having at least some forelimb reduction are convergent evolution.A time line might helpGenus Allosaurus lived 155 to 145 MYA>65 million years passTyrannosaurus rex lived about 80 to 66 MYA>63 million years passAs a taxon, Homo appears about 3 MYA>3 million years passYou todayEarly hominids lived closer to T. rex than T. rex lived to the last allosaur.
