>>97819348>TTBirnam Wood except it's Ents (Tolkien noted in a letter that he had created Ents in response to his "bitter disappointment and disgust from schooldays with the shabby use made in Shakespeare's Macbeth of the coming of 'Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane hill': I longed to devise a setting in which the trees might really march to war".)
>>97829052Damn, that's some top-tier fantasy cheesecake right there.
>>97829052Is there Anato Finnstark in here?
Tried out one of the patrick nagel prompts from last thread. Turned out surprisingly well for my bard.
>>97832553yeah pretty decent. Would learn Kamehameha from.
Is there ANY miniature wargame that isn't insanely expensive? I'm talking about things you can buy in a box and play immediately, not "print your own minis" bullshit or things where you're forced to use proxies cause official models don't exist.
>>97811190>a dice-less wargameneat.
>>97810889the trick is to avoid games with enforced monopolies. if they're just using their rules as a way to get you to buy the official minis, you are going to have a shitty time. fortunately that only describes like 20% of the hobby. it's the most visible 20% because they advertise and shill like crazy, but it's not all there is. once you get out of that bubble playing minis games becomes very affordable. most skirmish games can be played under $40 per army. some shit like gaslands or brikwars can be played for almost nothing.
>>97831664>Of the Cloaans, only Mega and Best-Lock will actually have minifig accessories, and one of the reasons I prefer 2010 is that Construction Points allow you to stat up things that are NOT Minifigures.Is that not covered in the 2020 MOC creature rules?
>>97827739>america is the best and most free.at this point i think we should stay on topic.This is GW, GW is doing this and it is a BRITISH company.England is unfree and gay, i don't know why you'd go out of your way to defend especially because i think it effects the end result.
>>97832341>Is that not covered in the 2020 MOC creature rules?I mean not as clearly, Mike wants to fit everything into Unit Inches...
I never realized how many players suffer from aphantasia and insist on using miniatures. Are you one of them, or do you embrace the unmatchable graphics of theater of the mind?
>>97832454Not really. I'm kind of average-to-above-average intelligence but based on talking to other people my internal sensations are far more vivid and detailed than most people.If we're basing the idea that someone's mentally better than others based on what kind of sensations someone can experience in their brains than I regret to inform you that most of you aren't actually human.But thankfully, that's kind of nonsense. Internal sensation is kind of a grab back based on a bunch of inscrutable factors.
>>97832445Problem with your theory, dumbass. I don't have aphantasia. I can picture everything fine. The problem is that when you boil it down, all of you are playing in featureless rooms with furniture and corners that you spawn and despawn at will.Either I missed the meeting where we all agreed that tabletop games are the world's shittest mental gmod server of you're all cheating.
>>97832397>Lot of assuming about motives.What did you expect from bringing it up explicitly as part of a highly emotionally charged railing against theater-of-the-mind with no alternative purpose offered? That the response would be accurate mind-reading of it being in a previously entirely unmentioned context?>But your visceral reaction to the idea that someone would actually keep track of what you're doing shows me what I need to know.No, my first post in this thread was >>97832187 in which I specifically mention the inability to maintain relative positions. The underlying point still stands, because you cited it as how you know. That statement entails that you didn't know before to full confidence, and by extension that you did not have enough confidence in your own mental model of the game-state for their divergence from it alone to result in calling out the inaccuracy.>>97832454How many tasks depend strongly on the ability to internally synthesize novel visual states? Even in outright artwork there's successful people with aphantasia, so I've some doubts about this qualifying for "retardation".
>>97832572>with no alternative purpose offered?I mean, the alternative is implicit but because you're a cheater who's upset at getting caught out, you're acting in bad faith.That or you're a moron.So in either case, I'll spell it out for you. The answer is a representational diagram. If you're playing Dungeons and Dragons specifically, this really should be a grid of 1 inch squares, since that's what the rules are based around. For other tabletop games where movement isn't as rigid and things are a bit more vague, I simple diagram consisting of a few stand in objects works, so long as everyone agrees what each object is representative of.A couple of dice that aren't being rolled and a sheet of paper for terrain makes for a quick and easy way to make sure everyone is on the same page regarding things like relative position and what the area looks like.But please, keep crashing out about it. You're really helping the argument that you're all seriously interested in the theater of the mind and aren't just cheating.
>>97832601>I mean, the alternative is implicit but because you're a cheater who's upset at getting caught out, you're acting in bad faith....The alternative PURPOSE of WHY YOU WERE TAKING NOTES, not alternative to theater of the mind. If your reading comprehension is this bad, I can only assume you to be massively inflating your own spatial reasoning competence out of a horrendous case of the Dunning-Kreuger Effect.

>>97831139I've had a good experience using AK's Dual Exo, they are not techincally primers, but work very well as them (or better).
Painted up a blight lord for as a thanks for a friend (hence the blank base), was expecting it to be a slog because nurgle but actually found it quite fun compared to when I started painting with Deathguard as my first models...Either another chaplain next or a Terminator captain using Evander Garrius as a base for the April /40kg/ collage
Been painting some Warcry minis with slight modifications to be Frostgrave thieves. Gotta fix the crowbar and then get to basing them.

Besides, the pull of Discord is the same as of Facebook; easy community. Most sane people use them the same way we used to use group text chats, or private AIM lobbies, or irc channels.
>>97829226https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIvPWwtnOjEGoodness. This follow-up video earnestly, unironically posits that most D&D characters are bad because they are allegedly like Superman. Supposedly, the way to make a "great" D&D character is to deliberately give them a dumped ability score at 6, then constantly attempt tasks using that score, leaning into the failure to highlight the character's flaws.This video and the "le ebin flubbed secret checks" video seem tailor-made to appeal to the crowd who loves to watch other people play D&D and fumble.
What's the appeal of evil women?
>>97827871Because it's all they really got socially. The internet put bullet holes in the mystery of either sex and from what I can see, the men are definitely coping better. The women's lonliness crisis will be sung from the rafters and rooftops while the men's lonliness "crisis" is really only being parroted by women and influencers.

>>97832552>if both formats designed decks with the other in mind.maybe but Urza's block would crush in a straight up head-to head of the best meta decks. current Standard has as many cards as fucking Extended used to, they have a massive pool to choose from if they wanted to hate out one specific block deck so it's kind of a moot point.
>>97832633>maybe but Urza's block would crush in a straight up head-to head of the best meta decksPeople really don't respect just how inconsistent and fragile the Urza's block combos were. Most of the time you play them, you are relying on regular ass hard draw step ass drawing multiple combo pieces to go off. All a deck needs to beat them half the time is a consistent, fast clock.These deck's aren't the menaces people make them out to be. They're fast, yes, but not at all reliable.

>>97831982>>97832000It is like Rakan Thulio, they gave him the "revenge for being cucked" aspect of Azhrarn, despite it making Rakan come as an incel.
I’m Azhrarn! You’re Azhrarn! She’s Azhrarn! Are there any more Azhrarns in the room I should know about?!
>>97829030>general opinionIt enthused me enough to get back into the game re-learn the painstaking, agonisingly asinine mechanics, did enough right I was profoundly relieved from the impression Essence gave me of where they were taking them, and has enough lacking that there's just a little bittersweet aftertaste to it all. But god, in my entirely subjective and profoundly biased opinion it is by far the best thing 3e has ever put out both in terms of lore and mechanics.>whether they're above or below parIf I had to sum up 3e Infernals in a nutshell (based on my own kinda flawed understanding of combat resolution), it's that they take Abilities to extremes that often give them unconventional edges at the cost of absolute mechanical supremacy that only rarely becomes a detriment. Brawl is the best illustration of this imo: If you look at Solar Brawl you get to do shit like stick people with persistent onslaught penalties, yo-yo people you punch into the horizon and just reset your rounds of control on demand. Infernal Brawl is NOT that slick, but it DOES do things Solar Brawl can't like give you scenelong permanent bonuses in exchange for penalising you stopping the fight early, sic grappling gambits out to short range, give you an Brawl-compatible heavy weapon that can inflict disease with a bite (which is...debatably useful given how long interval takes and there being no way to intensify syndromes, the best use case I can think of is sticking someone with Jigsaw Puzzle for a free Crippling effect mid-fight) and throw people hard enough to inflict fall damage. It also has what to my knowledge is the FIRST Solaroid Charm that flat out inflicts uncountable damage if it hits with enough successes, unless you count Heart-Eating Fist. Punching stuff falls far short of Solar and even Abyssal equivalents simply due to lacking anything like Fivefold Fury Onslaught or Rampage-Berserker Attack but it doesn't matter because the wrassling is that fucking sweet. 1/?
>>97829030As for the other abilities-Stealth, Thrown, Linguistics and Athletics are legitimately the best I've seen in any splat so far. Presence, Socialise and Lore too although those are kind of cheating because Presence has VEE (now with an upgrade to affect entire nations!), Socialise has the replacement for Black Mirror Shintai, and Lore has Mind-Hand Manipulation/Principle-Invoking Onslaught (now with Agg damage!) which continues the trend of Infernals just cheating in compensation for falling short in pure arete.>loreI'm of two minds about the lore in a lot of ways. It's much better than what I feared it would be based on the devs describing it/Essence and Pillars, but I also miss the storytelling from previous editions, and Infernals being too new to write anything meaningful about their impact on the setting feels like a copout. I'm glad it's not the Green Solars angle from the 3e Infernals preview, but I also wish it did more to stand out and make it's own identity other than "revenge" and "not that". Hell is as gritty as 3e is willing to be but still more sanitised than Exalted should be somehow; Ipithymia continues the trend of baffling me with how the effort to whitewash certain characters is going, though closer to my grudgingly positive takeaway from Heron than my complete rejection of 3e Lover. Also I don't like how they made Ligier a more blatant Azhrarn expy. Plus his writeup feels a little underwhelming for what he is in terms. It's strong, don't get me wrong, it just feels weird the Green Sun does more sword/spear stuff than actual sun stuff. And I'm still waiting for the devs to reconcile the humanoid 3CD statblocks with their celestial forms.2/3
>>97829030>build-your-own formLooking at how Blasphemy keyworded Charms work and how the preview described build-a-shintais, it's clear that Keys were definitely meant to be more than what they currently are (organisational shorthand). I definitely prefer the ExWoD approach of permanently adding to shintais rather than just letting you activate certain Charms at the same time, and the "avatar of a Yozi" thing sounds like a unique addon I would've liked to see incorporated somehow.As with many, many things in 3e it really does feel like they threw out the baby with the bathwater and called it a day. Still, there's a surprising amount of fun to be had once you accept Devil-Bodies are less strong in and of themselves and more meant as a sort of chassis for your other Charms.Also not amused by how they made a lot of the inner world-using Charms kinda undertuned, although the fact that you CAN bring things out you made with your own effort low key solves this. Just Introduce a Fact in there that enhances your Crafting (or sorcery, or VEE, or whatever), and you'll be mass producing Karvara in no time.
