>>97390230it is to try and equalise step up, which used to be too punishing, but it does actually often make not charging better especially if you have great weapons or good armour so don't expect many casualties. Another reason why TOW needs a new thought out edition, though what it doesn't need is a GW™ edition.
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.

The reality is you aren't designing a perfect system because people want different things. VtM had had wounds and penalties in the 90s and some people hated it. Blue rose integrated a wound penalty track in to d20 in 2004 or whatever but no one played blue rose.What's ideal depends on genre and on player taste. People have been writing morenin depth injury systems for as long as there's been rpgs.
How would you humanize enemy mooks even if the players have to put them down at the end of day? How do you make it so that players leaving piles of corpses in their wake is not a trivial matter?

>>97393560No, they're brutal raiders who prefer hewing through the weak and helpless. It wasn't until Obould Many-Arrows, an orc who was divinely blessed to be less of an impulsive fucktard than most of his race, came along that they even considered the possibility of semi-peaceful relations with other races. Then they started the War of the Silver Marches and a dwarven coalition force had to step in and kick their asses.
>>97393560Orcs are shit. Entirety derivative. Elves are people with long ears. Orcs are elves with green skin.I almost always use Goblins instead because they're far more whimsical. Often I'll use them a misunderstood. One of my favorite things that I tend to stick in is the Kingdom of Flowers. It is a Goblin settlement, usually in a forest, where all the Goblins like to adorn themselves with myriad colors and types of flowers. It's usually fae related and sometimes I'll place it in the Fae Wild. They are chaotic neutral and may provide the party with info or safe passage in exchange for a story or a joke.
I am not new to playing DnD 5e but I am sort of new to trying to actually roleplay my character. I have such a hard time because its hard for me to actually get in the seat of my character without it feeling weird. I am sure our DM gives us good chances for RP and I never really engage with it even though I want too. I think part of the issue is that I feel my characters are always lack luster and not particularly interesting. I am a fighter and I have a personal code of honor of sorts. Like comradery etc. All that seems not unique at all. What are some good examples of good roleplaying and actually shit roleplaying?
>>97394089>looking at goblin men>buying their fruits>not questioning upon what soil they fed their hungry, thirsty rootsISHYGDDT
Tabletop RPGs tend to split up crafting into a high number of crafting subskills for every individual area of expertise. There's no question that crafting is still extremely powerful despite forcing you to go through this hassle, but what are your thoughts on which particular crafting subskills tend to be the most useful in the context of a TTRPG campaign, be it a medieval or modern or sci-fi setting?Pic related is from Legend of the Five Rings, where I'll be playing a crafter soon, and I intend to invest heavily into crafting. But feel free to talk about any game you've had experience with.

What software is everyone using for layout? InDesign?
>>97392678i just did all my shit straight into libreoffice
>>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
Would people be able to tell your character is a "tough guy" just from first glance?
>>97389925Depends on the DM. Some DMs have NPCs act appropiately to your characters appearance, (fear, negotiation, falling back and getting re-inforcements, surrender, hiding and avoidance, etc) while some DMs take the Fallout route, having two unarmoured 1st level mooks armed with sticks trying to take on your huge heavily armed and armoured character and escorting retinue, because the stupid module they are running says so.

Is there a reason we have so few games with a Gothic or Victorian inspired setting but a trillion rehashes of medieval fantasy, science-fiction or some eastern setting with katanas?
>>97391891>Had built for himself. Horace Walpole was a limp wristed pantywaisted fop who never did a day's work in his life.Stop nitpicking, ESL. And walpole was far more of a learned and educated man than you will ever be.>The "Gothic" in Gothic literature comes from the Renaissance where it was used as an insult Gothic architecture.No, It comes from the 18th century when the term Gothic meant medieval or before the enlightenment you autist>Gothic literature is inherently GeorgianIt's a Georgian term for medieval times. Gothic literature is inherently set in the middle ages. Hence why Georgian writers such as Thomson, Walpole, Beattie and others used the term GOTHIC they used it to mean medieval.>Aside from disputing that as it was early Gothic that favoured the medieval and later gothic was more diverseThe Gothic Golden age from 1760 to 1820 was medieval/renaissance in setting from start to finish. You'd know that if you'd read any of those works>and aside from that extremely vague "great pieces" qualifier which you'd use to wriggle out of any counter examples of stories set outside the medieval, make up our mind.The Castle of Otranto, the Monk, The Mysteries of Udolpho and Melmoth the Wanderer are considered the big four of gothic literature by everyone who has actually read gothic literature. All four of these are medieval/renaissance, melmoth being the only exception with the framing story being set in the 19th century but most of the book being set in the 1600s>Why do people who probably have read some gothic literature pretend that they're experts and know everything? I mean you.I know far more about gothic literature than you do, autist. I guarentee you haven't read any.It's clear you're an esl nitpicker who thinks a term that meant medieval in the 18th century means 18th century. LMAO
>>97391891>“One of the most obvious traits of the period is its changing attitude toward the Middle Ages, and no one word better reflects that change than does the critical adjective gothique.” And before the century was very old, lesser men had begun to re-adapt Gothic ideas, and from the dormant seeds of Gothic tradition strange and unlovely flowers had begun to spring. There came a change in the overtones of ‘ medieval ’ and words associated with it. “ There was one literary connection, however, in which gothique was used without a sneer: coupled with the word tragedie it meant merely ‘ medieval ’, or as we might say, * pre-classical ’ ; so that tragedie gothique was a mystére.”>Richard Hurd, in his Letters on Chivalry and Romance (1762), not only claims recognition for Gothic art, but actually suggests that Gothic manners were superior. He fairly strews his pages with expressions like ‘Gothic ages’, ‘ gothic warriors’, ‘ gothic manners’, ‘ gothic enchant- ments ’, ‘ gothic tales’, ‘ gothic poems’, and ‘ gothic romances’. The word ‘Gothic’, with all that it implies, ceased to be a synonym for ‘barbarous’ and ‘ violent’ and became associated with the poetry and chivalry of the Middle Ages : thus ‘ Gothic’ assumed a second meaning, “the medieval’. “‘ The same term (Gothic) was used with both eulogistic and disparaging connotations.” In English the real history of “ Gothic’ begins with the eighteenth century, when “the word seems to have three meanings, all closely allied—barbarous, medieval, supernatural ”. A growing taste for Gothic was but one symptom of a great change of ideas, which evolved into the Romantic movement.
>>97391891>>97394046>It was left for Walpole to launch ‘ Gothic’ on its way as a critical term in prose fiction. ‘* This literary impulse, if anything, can be called the true starting-point of the Gothic Revival.” His archaeological studies fostered his medieval interests. “It is impossible to peruse either the letters or the romances of this remarkable man without being struck by the unmistakable evidence which they contain of his Mediaeval predilections. His Castle of Otranto was perhaps the first modern work of fiction which depended for its interest on the incidents of a chivalrous age, and it thus became the prototype of that class of novel which was afterwards imitated by Mrs. Ratcliffe (sic) and perfected by Sir Walter Scott. The feudal tyrant, the venerable ecclesiastic, the forlorn but virtuous damsel, the castle itself, with its moats and drawbridge, its gloomy dungeons and solemn corridors, are all derived from a mine of interest which has since been worked more efficiently and to better profit. But to Walpole must be awarded the credit of its discovery and first employment,” says Eastlake. The thought of ‘ Gothic’ brought to his mind not only “‘ the dark ages” of superstition and church domination, but also the days of chivalry and the Crusades. And he transplanted these ideas in The Castle of Otranto. “The castle was gothic; terror and superstition were gothic—chivalry and the Middle Ages were gothic ; ...and at the head of everything Gothic, with his ghost story, and the house at Strawberry, stood Horace Walpole.”It's funny how pseuds who don't actually read gothic literature and tracts on it pretend they know anything about gothic literature.
>>97388146I like the time period. It's neat, interesting and has a good look to it. Sadly most stories in media, specifically modern, are just romance/drama focused towards a femal audience.

>>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.

When did Magic players get so delusional? The performative outrage about UB has got to be some of the most faggy outrage ive seen in this game. If you bought/played with any secret lair cards or LotR cards then you have no room to complain about the current trajectory, this is your fault. If you are anti UB because they dont "fit" Mtgs setting, but purchased/played Neon Dynasty, Thunder Junction, Duskmourn, Aetherdrift, or Edge then you have no media literacy because they are all basicly UB sets without an IP attached. Stop posting like UB is the death of magic, I remember when we thought Mythic rarity was going to be the end and now look at this bullshit. Its going to keep going on until people are done playing the game and move to something else, and theres not a single TCG right now that could take its place. >inbf I proxy so I winYou are a faggot in denial, if you play the game in anyway, you are coupable in this. Thank you for reading my TedTalk.
>>97388673
>>97388673to be fair, even without UB, I think the bigger problem is having fucking 7 legal sets coming out every year, there's no time to appreciate any of them we're always 1 month away from spoiler season, it's insane
Haven't bought cards since UB first reared its ugly head with the Godzilla alternative art cards in Ikorea. I suspected it was a canary in the coal mine and my suspicions were confirmed with the walking dead SS bullshit. I dropped the game and haven't looked back other to sneer at the absolute state of decay it is in.
