I've noticed that as I've gotten older and the people I know have aged is that the people who are the worst adjusted are the people who... I guess bluntly grew up on 4chan and don't know how to socially interact with people besides raging. There's no pushback with these people because they just crash out and that's the end of that, so you have to sift through the grime to find people you can actually talk to.

I'm so hype. My GM who was running am DH game for ~18 years but took a break due to life stuff has decided to pick it back up again. My other GM who was running RT for ~15 years is taking a brief break while the DH GM picks it up again (same group). We're doing a Deathwatch mini game to get back in the swing of things, and we had our first session today. The energy was really great in a social session while we discussed how the Cohesion system works. We have a Lamenter Apothecary, a Salamander Techmarine, a Space Wolf wolf scout, a Raven Guard successor assault marine, an Ultramarine tactical marine, and a Black Shield librarian

>>97392355
Every few weeks I see something here that makes me glad I only got on this site when I entered college and was decently adjusted to socialization.
I'm sure there's some cool people here too but honestly joining games seems like such a dice roll that it's not worth it.

>>97386923
You're onto something imo. You can think of most adventures as some kind of flowchart or directed graph of scenes. For more narrative adventures, that flowchart becomes more abstract. In a dungeon, the physical space is the narrative space, and you understand how the narrative branches or even loops back on itself (like a red herring) from the layout of the dungeon.

The dungeon makes this easy, obvious, and it's constrained setting of a location-based adventure helps give you guardrails so players don't do something totally outside the scope of your prep. If they come up with some clever idea, you didn't anticipate, they're still in the dungeon - whereas something more abstract might see them try to go into a scene that you have not prepared in the slightest and have to ad-lib, which usually means lower quality narration, a lower quality narrative, and more interruptions as you think on your feet.

>whereas something more abstract might see them try to go into a scene that you have not prepared in the slightest and have to ad-lib, which usually means lower quality narration, a lower quality narrative, and more interruptions as you think on your feet.
This is why flow chart style prepping is really bad. If you're thinking of your prep in terms of NPCs or factions with plans and goals, you don't run into this kind of thing. I agree with the rest of your concept, though, the dungeon as a space is an easy thing to run once it's built because you can effectively firewall all your encounter spaces.

>>97386862
>What is a good tabletop RPG that is easy to run and prep for someone who is a new gm but has experience playing in games before?
The easiest for new TTRPG players is FUDGE.
The easiest in general is whatever system everyone already knows.

>Inherent sanctity of life isn't quite the same as inherent value. The former is an idea that stems from respecting the opportunity (potential) that all living things have because they're alive, but also because death is still fundamentally an unknown domain. We can't understand it, so we should appreciate what we can grasp to some degree, that being life, and we shouldn't make light of it for ourselves or for others.
But inherent value is a troublesome notion, because value is subjective to the individual. You would have to agree on the definition of what creates value first and who the beneficiary should be. What one person sees as positive value can be negative value to someone else, and both sides can be simultaneously "true", because they don't agree on the same definition of value. This extends to traits unfortunately, because the traits themselves can be valuable, but that doesn't mean that the individual is creating value, or even seen as valuable within their community or peers. Value is a very messy word which has been twisted for different ends.
VALUE itself is an imaginary concept with no INHERENT value save what is ASSIGNED to it. And I ASSIGN as a CATEGORICAL VALUE that the ONLY value ALL life has is it's capacity to BTFO Gohan.

>Based on everything I know about you I'm almost certain you're pro-choice. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, and I'll apologize, but I'm pretty sure I'm not. And no one who is pro-choice believes that human life has inherent value. If they did they wouldn't believe that unborn children's lives mattered less than the mother's convenience.
Being pro-choice is BASED because it REMOVES potential Gohans from the GENE POOL. If those embryos wanted to survive, they should have been prepared to FIGHT for their LIVES in the WOMB

T>he greater and perhaps more frightening implication is that "life" is merely sophistry in the grand scheme of the universe. You are, in essence, just a collection of atoms and molecules within a sea of atoms and molecules.

>A person doesn't die, after all. Their atoms, their molecules, they all still exist. All that's truly real is change. When you die, you cease to be what you were and disperse back into the cosmic sea of atoms to become something else instead. What sets life and humanity apart is self-awareness.
BASED

>Humanity is not innately apart from the universe; we are as much a component of it as everything else. We are all made of exactly the same substances that the rest of the universe is. There is honestly nothing but scientific distinction that separates "a person" from the air molecules touching their skin. And yet humans are, as far as we are aware, the only component in existence capable of observing the universe objectively. We are the universe staring back at itself and realizing what it is. In absence of God or religious notions, the value of humanity is unfathomable because we are the stirrings of the cosmos itself awakening to self-awareness. We are atoms that know we are atoms and the implications of that, as the only observable beings which are ourselves part of a universe that is otherwise seemingly dead and unthinking, is incomprehensible.
BASED, BASED, BASED. And you know what that BASEDLY means? It means that Gohan DESERVES to suffer and SHOULD suffer because I, the UNIVERSE, have decided that skinnyfat glasses-using balding git SHOULD.

>I brought up Epicureanism before because I think its key concepts are strangely poignant in today's society where life is really a stress test of everything and people basically live life on high anxiety. Lucretius' On the Nature of Things and the Epicurus compilation called the Art of Happiness are typical starting points.
Epicureanism is FLAWED because it promotes STAGNATION. What if I find peace THROUGH pain and fear? What if I CONSTRUE moderation and tranquility as FAILURES of self-EXPRESSION? Because it sure FUCKING seems to be that EPICUREANISM sounds a whole LOT like it's a PRO-GOHAN stance.

>All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it, it grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came. You see, darkness is the heart's true essence.

I think it comes down to what kind of aesthetic you're looking for. If you look for the Kli-San on MMF you'll find a tank that proxies to a russ rather well, and I've seen people resin print those.

>>97369149
What tanks have you printed so far?

I'm looking to print one soon, just trying to work out hollowing, and drain holes for the mini atm. It'll be a week or so until the resin I want to use is in, but I'll post an update when I do.

There's an extremely non-core set of spells I adore called Breathball and Breathdoom, level 6 and 9 respectively, I believe. Breathball converts any breath weapon the caster possesses into a basketball size swirling orb of smog that hangs in place for a few minutes. Anyone that comes within range sets it off, releasing the full effect of the breath weapon in a Fireball sized burst. Breathdoom is similar but has fewer restrictions, higher damage cap, is permanent, and is invisible.

Command is pretty rigid in its options. Approach, Drop, Fall, Flee, and Halt is all you're gonna get. Obviously context can make those have more implications, such as "Fall" on a flying creature or "Drop" when the target is dangling from a rope. But this isn't Suggestion or Geas.

What happened to the JRPG thread?

>>97373930
Unironically D&D 4e, followed by FFd6 and 3D&T. Reskinning D&D 4e to YYH would be trivial.

>>97392082
I think they still want RP elements

>>97392195
RP elements for shonen anime style tournaments like YYH's Dark Tournament are mostly what the class powers assume their personalities are. From that pic alone Bui is a strong silent type, the Toguros are a powerful no-bullshit man and a scheming rat, Sakyo is a calm Yakuza type, and Karasu is a goth weirdo. I'd say you could easily play these characters, in character, as 4e classes, maybe a defender, striker, controller, leader and another controller/striker hybrid.
If OP doesn't mind the medieval setting he can use it right out of the box, with anime images from some booru for character and location art. 4e like this was by far the animest anime TTRPG experience I had at least (that didn't involve a clear main character), though I won't say I tried too many systems.
It does take some reskinning though, but if OP wants a more specific polished setting closer matching to his tastes he should just go after the official (or best unnoficial) TTRPG of what looks closest to his favorite anime.

>Isn't Mark 10 visually nearly the same thing as Mk 4 'Maximus' armour
Mark 10 copied the grille pattern from Mark 4 but the 10's face is completely flat (flatter than any armour mark) while the Mark 4 has a very distinctive "snout" that IIRC is only beaten by Mark 6's beak, which gives it a very different appearance to the Mark 10. I can see where the confusion comes from though, those Imperial Armour front profile views that you see all over the place don't capture the 3D-ness of the Mark 4 very well and make it look more similar to the Mark 10 than it actually is.

NTA, never seen GW ever lower a price of a box, but they have given permission for third party stores to skip the requirement not to sell less than 15% off before during Dominion (worldwide), Skaventide (worldwide) and Saturnine (in UK) all had price plummets because they were literally not moving from shelves and third parties were either gonna have to mail a mountain of huge boxes back to GW for full refunds of thousands of dollars or have GW give them permission to offload them 40-50% cheaper than normal.

Literally just go here and plug in the class and race. Jesus christ.

>you can cast this mid level spell once per day :D
Give a martial powerful spell casting features and watch as he starts to do far less martial stuff throughout the game. Same deal with stuff like the Wand of Fireballs.
>Do you treat every single class feature, spell, and item in the game with more than one usage in the game this way?
No, because that’s already working in combination with other options and trade offs that compete for a lot of those features, since they draw from the same pool of resources (spell slots). Enspelled weapons give a singular spell with its own resource with a pool that’s way too deep, and every single time I’ve been in a game or DM’d a game where someone had an enspelled weapon/armor/whatever, the flow of combat just became spamming that one thing over and over because why wouldn’t they? It’s an entirely different pool of resources that still regenerate at an exceptionally high rate (3.5 charges per day average, fully refilled with a modicum of downtime). The only thing I will grant you is that Summon Dragon isn’t exactly a spell that you cast turn after turn, but even then, once per day is more than enough.
