It all boils down to "God/Gaia/the writers made the World of Darkness a flawed and terrible place as a punishment, as a joke, because they're flawed and terrible themselves or because it would be a pretty boring game otherwise."
>>97393821>>97393919>>97393926Gaia is the spirit of Creation. As in the spiritual reflection of the world the Elohim made. Just like the spirit of a fox is a reflection of a fox.
>>97393926>>97394004This is however slightly boring and though correct I would just like to picture Gaia as a very irresponsible mother.
>>97393926Maybe Gaia can only make Spirits of such a nature because that's her own nature as the top Spirit? Thus it's autism all the way down
>>97394101You're welcome to, if that's your prerogative. However, the only real 'fact' that is known about her is that she is the spirit of the Earth and its Penumbral Realms. Whether she's a Celestine or something more, whether she made the Triat or was made by the Triat, whether she was the seraph Ziana before she became Gaia and the World Tree, whether Gaia dwells in Pangaea or the Summer Country or in both locations and possibly others simultaneously, all of this is speculative.>>97394312Only if you subscribe to the theory that she is responsible for the creation of all spirits, which isn't necessarily true. In the end, as a spirit, she's defined by her nature just like all of the others, for better or worse.
It's pic related. Peter Jackson tried to copy Blix's swag for a good reason
>>97290361Love Peter Jackson portrayal, although I think he goes a little to heavy on the armor at times. Dragon's Dogma had a nice interpretation of them, clearly visually inspired by LotR films.>>97328676>>97372937WoD's portrayal of the old Orcs was fun, but also demonstrates one of the problems with changing Orcs from a classic monster race to one that's capable of making moral choices. Cause if you do that an then try to keep all the fun barbarian raider orc tropes, you end up with something far far more problematic than just sticking to the classic always evil monsters. So yeah, kind of fun, but Orcs have been a mess since, I dunno, TBC.

Gee guys TOW seems like a total fucking mess
>>97394138It certainly seems that way if all you do is post on 4chan. Luckily the reality is much different and people are more often happy than not when you sit down to play a game. The truth of the matter is that rules have always been a secondary afterthought for the vast majority of people playing. Only the most degenerate tourneyfags whine about rules. Most people just wanna roll dice and move models with their friends.
>>97394138You should go back to not playing AoS
>>97394138it works fine but it needs an internal logic rather than the reactionary displaced rules it has ended up with, it doesn't need much more than a rewrite. The problem is that HH2.0 was in the exact same state, they made a nostalgiabait edition enshrining beloved rules, made new additions, had to course correct their new additions after leaving the rules on life support for ages, then proceeded to dump everything with a ground up rework changing fundamentals of the game and t no ones surprise cocking it up instantly. All they had to do was rewrit the edition as it stood at the end, but no that isn't marketable or exciting enough and doesn't give them the excuse to cut options.
>>97394138What do you expect from throw away rules made by people who "quit" already?
Any experiences with this? Any recommendations for it if you have played it?
>>97393206>shit tier product promotion for fallout 4 >mandated fallout 4 artstyle designs for everythingit flopped.
>>97393216Wasn't planning on using it with Fallout 4 stuff if I did run with it. Was thinking more classic designs for just about everything. If anything, would be more like the Enclave from OWB mod, but start out with the players unaware of who their employers/benefactors truly are until they've earned trust, probably have some intrigue that decides if they helped the Reformists win and the campaign would involve reuniting the Wasteland and having a solid reason to be traveling all over it.
>>97393206Played a few campaigns with it. it wants to be FO4 so you have to tear a lot of that out. I made an NCR Super Mutant Ranger that transferred Unity to his new home and was part of a scouting expedition to the East Coast to find out what the fuck was going on with the strange reports. The rest of the party was BoS tech that went AWOL and a vaultie doing vaultie things as our face.

>>97386873>would you solve this?You need to fundamentally change how successes work. Having "nothing" happens as a result is undesirable, having it be the most common result is painful. At the very least if you don't want to change things up too much set a minimum damage threshold. Something like>If you roll at least 1 success you always deal at least 1 point of damage, regardless of how well the opposing side rollsBut really you don't want to keep making each side roll roughly equivalent pools with a high success threshold, I don't think there's a way to have that which doesn't involve constant ties

Play Subterror.

>>97393070It's funny sometimes.>bringing cards in another language and claim they do things that the english print just doesn't mention (dead ever since neuron was implemented)>fake shuffling ie shuffling normally until you spot a good card at the bottom, then moving it to the top and not presenting your deck for a cut (my locals strictly enforces cutting the deck after a shuffle because there were a LOT of cheaters using this method, one of them being a fat spic who kept making it to top 8 in various YCS back when branded was popular)>using damaged/dirty sleeves to stack your deck>using a 40 + 15 card deck, but drawing from the modified 20 card extra deck so they'll always open full combo and crossout/called/TTT (this one was both the most brazen and creative one, now my locals enforces the rule that your main and extra must use different sleeves)I have only been sharked once. My opponent goes full combo, i raigeki the dude on my turn, he chains his negate, i send raigeki and 2 monsters with droplet to disable it and his other negates. He calls the judge and tells him that i'm cheating because i wasn't allowing him to respond to any of it. The judge tells him that he can't respond with monsters nor spells, and he throws a fucking tantrum, saying that he CAN respond to droplet IF you chain to it, huffing every time the judge tells him to please read the card. He refuses and just gives me the match, because he "can't stand cheaters nor morons". He gets DQ'd for unsportsmanlike conduct.Dude was sweating bullets, smelled like onions, was wearing a stained anime shirt and cargo pants, was a balding obese pube beard, the whole thing, he was a walking stereotype. This was back in iirc 2023? When dinosaur scrap had borreload savage and apollousa legal. I wasn't even playing meta lmao, literally 3 traptrix structures and 3 mismatched droplets i had just pulled from a rarity box.

>>97393699You the anon from the other thread? If so I answered most of that. But limited has a decent scene yes. A draft is like 10 bucks. The prerelease's are always packed, one I won those from had 70 entrants. Yours might have one today if so I HIGHLY reccomend you go. Its very fun, like 35 bucks and is kinda the lowest barrier to entry for any player.
>>97393721lol yeah, I am, thanksI might go check it out, but I'm still not really sure if I even want to bother with paper at all
>>97393741Prerelease is probably your best test then. Its very low skill and fun. Other main idea is to simply play with a friend. Theres a few 60 card premade boxes on store shelves that are cheap. The FF one was like 20 bucks. Grab it with a friend and play. The main thing you get from paper is talking to and interacting with other humans. Either as friends and just chatting, but also talking about WHAT you want to play. You dont always have to be armed to the teeth for the standard meta with some hyper efficent deck. You can agree on things.

>>97393805well i agree, dont know whats going on there. Do people hate arena? Powered cube is such a cool format, completely revived my interest in playing it again>>97393637After a horrible 0-3 with a shit draft, the arena gods have been kind. I thought at first this pile is kind of mediocre (barely any fast mana and not that much control), but boy I already have gone infinite turns twice and am 5-0, so I wont complain
What do you even do in a ghost rpg?
>>97390580>>97390530iirc Orpheus was after Paradox took over and they weren't sure what to do. It's sort of like an attempt to make the Wraith setting more playable which sort was a half and half in terms of success. Wraith is fundamentally too baked into its themes, settings, and mechanics.

Have any of you ran your players through the Theater Kid Wood Chipper? How many of them tried to stick something in Acererak's mouth?
>>97374144Everyone who answered before me is wrong.The original reason was Gygax's group had become so powerful and munchkiny that they smugly told him nothing he could do would challenge them anymore."Bet."He made the Tomb of Horrors just to fuck them over, specifically players who think they have enough power to just faceroll everything. It kills you by getting past your HP, features. If you get 8d6 damage by a boulder you can live if you have tons of HP. But if you get teleported into the sun, it's over. You need to start using your brain again.AFTER THAT, they started using it as a tournament module to see if other players could be just as smart.
>>97391851I haven't told them anything, they're going in completely blind.The only thing they do know is that it is horrendously dangerous, but in a different way to Tomb.If they manage to get through and still want more punishment, the next one is Throne of Bloodstone.
>>97392270How do you play in a module after having run it?
>>97392326Were they retarded? The DM isn't bound by rules.
>>97394254Otherway around. People who played in it wanted to run it or possibly wanted to see how they could have won.

Little suprises editionLast time on /bgg/: >>97360696Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/h8Tz2ze8Survey results: https://pastebin.com/YJPZ44rqTQ:>What game did you expect to hate, but ended up really liking it?>What game did you expect to love, but endet up hating it?
>>97391584>TQ:>What game did you expect to hate, but ended up really liking it?TfM - played it late, thought it would be like Ark nova. The map part is pretty boring but I love the massive amount of cards and just building the engine up. It's sort of a calming game for me, where I just build my engine in peaceFor sale - old, boring filler game. Besides it's betting which I'm not a fan of. Turns out it's great, all time goat. Love it.Dominant species - people said it's long and mean. Hard to get things done and others ruin your plans etc.. One of my favorites. It's not that mean imo, st least it doesn't feel that way to me, maybe because of the theme. The domination calculation is simple math, no problems. It's longer since it's also best with more players but it doesn't feel long.>What game did you expect to love, but endet up hating it?Ark nova - animals, lot's of cards, heavy, everyone in the group loved it. It's not that interesting, slow cycling through the cards. Even more solo than TfM but with no engine building fun. Spirit island - everyone loved it, heavy coop with asymetry. Maybe because it's coop but it's very boring. Like pandemic, enemy spreads and you play a couple of cards to contain them. The cards are also not that exciting.
>>97391673I don't see how anyone can say this game looks good yet it gets praised for it.
>>97393711The average brain is so fried they need extreme stimulation to register anything. Shit, we were talking about radlands still yesterday.
>>97393261>>97393597I don't mind it all that much, but it depends on what kind of downtime.This all opens a very interesting topic relevant to disagreements in game evaluation, "How do you approach [game]?". Like in the example, if you play Agricola Gaia Project just from your gut, you'll have a bad time. Similarly, if you overanalyze and try to strategize Diamant or Resistance, you'll have a tedious and frustrating game. That is not exclusive to weight, I'd argue Ra gets worse when you math out probabilities and Chinatown sucks if you go deeper than only roughly crunching the numbers before taking a deal.And it's hard to approach a game you've tried and found shit once again from a different angle. Time is too precious for most of us.Very interesting topic
>>97393814downtime can be very interesting if you know you're against a competent player, on the other hand if you're facing a dude who's only possible slowplay reasons are he needs to remember the manual... not that interesting
