What'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?

>>97827405
Because, 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.

I'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.

But 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.

The 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.

The 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.

Did 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.

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

>>97827306
>There's a problem with pic related and it's not that the blue-grey spinosaur is featherless. 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

>>97827395
They probably did, there's a lot of pushback against feathered dinos on 4chan as part of the whole anti-modern-[blank] thing. /an/ in particular has a schizo who thinks that it's a secret plot by the jews, trying to turn dinosaurs gay, lol

>>97827395
Great 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 help
Genus Allosaurus lived 155 to 145 MYA
>65 million years pass
Tyrannosaurus rex lived about 80 to 66 MYA
>63 million years pass
As a taxon, Homo appears about 3 MYA
>3 million years pass
You today

Early hominids lived closer to T. rex than T. rex lived to the last allosaur. T. rex is at the midpoint between you and the allosaurs.

The Zahn take on the clone wars is so much more kino than what Lucas did in the prequels.

>>97826106
>"Large group of planets and companies who are sick of the Republic" was around long before he was. There would've eventually been a war even without all the Jedi and Sith meddling and fighting in the background.
Not really. The companies were fine with teh Republic's corruption. It was Palpatine who actually pushed the first act against the TF via taxation of routes and at the same time pushed Gunray to power, setting up the Battle of Naboo and future separatist sentiment. Palpatine was the first real Chancellor to not bow down to corruption as Valorum took it up the ass. Planets not under the Republic generally didn't care that they were ignored until after Dooku convinced them
>>97827665
Retarded. Zahn's take is extremely lazy and unoriginal. Lucas' PT is absolute kino, clone madness and Spaarti bullshit is so fucking boring. Honestly I wish the Thrawn Trilogy got reworked to actually fit later media but I know a lot of OTcucks would go bonkers that their sacred books got reworked. Honestly if you don't like the PT you don't even like SW, you like an incomplete idea of what you think SW should be.

>>97826614
>>97827099
Wrong. That's why everyone liked 4e so much. Because instead of describing what your character was doing, you just declared the name of your best power every round and stated the mechanics clearly and concisely.

If you aren't playing your game like 4e, then you're not playing at all.

>That's why everyone liked 4e so much.

Washington’s War, and while I own the game physically most of my many, many plays have been on Rally the Troops.
I have like a 80% winrate, though to be fair a lot of people just flatly do not know how to play.
>dice or fixed values for combat resolution?
I lean towards dice but it’s a difficult conundrum. Deterministic combat doesn’t feel like combat to me very often, it’s far too mechanistic. However actually mitigating the problems of dice combat usually require a significant amount of rules overhead that most people don’t want to deal with.
>>97825524
>Dice should either have marginal impact or there should be some serious luck mitigation mechanics. Most times when people cope that these mechanics exist, the mitigation mechanics are the marginal part, not the core dice luck aspect.
Making dice combat *acceptable* is actually a very simple calculation: you need a wide variety of possible outcomes while also tightly controlling just how many of those outcomes are actually possible within a given dice roll. In other words, you need a humble wargame CRT. The problem is that CRTs are a lot of extra complication and not practical for anything but wargames and their autistic fans.

Good question. Will probably play a goblin girl myself to fit with the theme. Still in the planning phase but I'm considering just using Forbidden Lands as the setting, repurposed for everyone being cute girls. I've skimmed through it a bit already they have goblins and halflings technically being the same species, with 50% of children born to one coming out as the other and being raised by the same kind. That's a fun idea I can work with as an excuse. Maybe the males are rare, and they're all orcs or something, I don't know. I'm not sure what system I'll be using for actual play, but getting pretty adept at boostrapping systems together. I've been a bit obsessed with Mythras lately, and its grittiness does match the setting. I dunno if it really matches the tone of goblin adventurers though, anyone know of some other decent systems I can check out?

Forbidden Lands probably isnt a good idea for this sort of game, but I don't really feel like making one up myself and it already has a ton of content to explore with enough randomness to make solo play fun.

>>97825665
Play Labyrinthus. It already has the rgular goblin and the "good-looking goblins" you want. Also if you like exploration it actually has better rules and more variety
