I really love hex tile games so I made one where cities are dice (to represent the size) and you draw tiles from a random bag like Carcassonne and place them according to rules (like you have to contribute to existing forests or mountain ranges on the edge until they're a certain size, before you can start a new one). The game was very visually and tactilely satisfying to me, which is important since it's being played in the physical realm. But the girls, as you can see, are a bit small. So I bought new ones. I haven't painted them yet but I am hoping to add some numbers to them, almost like Catan has. So therein lies my question (and I know I'm leaving a lot of details out, this game is very different from Catan, but it's basically a 4x tabletop hex tile game). My question being:Do people actually like rolling dice in Catan? I think in Catan it's a very elegant way of adding depth to the game. Currently in my game, you roll 1d6 per population of a city, and for each 5 you roll you can get a resource of the tile your city's on, and for each 6 you can get that or an adjacent resource. But that leads to a lot of dice rolling. By the end game you might be rolling 10 pools of dice each with 6 dice, and making decisions along the way. So obviously I want to simplify it. But the question is, do people even like the dice rolling in Catan? Or would they rather the randomness be removed from it?
>>97829096>Java's randomization is from tile draw.Do you think that's enough by itself as a random element for a game?Or I guess I would say, do you think that as a substitute for the random resources of Catan is good? Or would two "axis" of randomness be an improvement?
>>97831462>Do you think that's enough by itself as a random element for a game?Generally yes. I prefer board games with some but limited randomization. 2 variables is okay, anything after that makes it janky enough its less interesting to plan imo. But there's going to be some variance in that, might not hurt to ask /awg/.
You might be developing Clash of Cultures.
>>97825377>>97825007I'm really curious how you guys are incapable of parsing his post. It made perfect sense to me, he's talking about a game he is making that is similar to Catan, is using mechanics from catan, but that they have quickly bloated, and is interested in knowing if players actually enjoy ruling big pools of dice multiple times over. I strongly suspect you are reading skills are not potent.
>>97836349Do you build the board during the game?I've been looking up these board games on BoardGameGeek but I always prefer a QRD from anons as that tends to be better. It DOES look a lot like what I have in mind. I'm trying to avoid many auxillary pieces or boards. I considered having a deck of technology cards to add another dimension to the game, like the Catan development cards but they would be actual technologies giving you minor boosts in certain situations to shape how you play, but that would be my limit. I might have army tokens that move about the board, but actual attacking cities to conquer them will be an Illuminati-esque mechanic where you roll 2d6 and "spend" soldiers like money to influence your roll (and it will be against a fairly hard number, like 10 base, or +4 difficult for 14 if they spend stone on walls for their city), and so far the army has just been an abstract currency you spend to attack a city, and have to pay more resources in Food depending on distance between your nearest city and the city you're trying to conquer.

>>97838824>>97838836At this point he should just add a "strange skill" option for things like this. You can then make it stronger with Genetic Freak or the other ones if you really want to. Technically you already can have strange miscelaneous skills by being a Half fishman, but I don't think it's intended to use it to get hypnosis.However the cuttlefish is known to use its rapidly changing color patterns to entrance prey so...
>>97838819>>97838813>>97838836Man I was gonna put Hypnosis in the original one and discussed it in the 'cord when that was a thing and I just totally forgot.

Because last thread someone said that his genetic enhancement is what allows him to use the Black Leg style.
>>97838920The fire leg thing is because of his genetic enhancementsHis invisibility is because of his magic science sentai suit

>create a system>it's good>but have a huge ego and expect the system to become popular through word of mouth>do 0 PR for the system>do Pikachu face when the system tanksLiterally the story of every new indie system in the last 20 years. What's wrong with people in this industry? Does this industry only attract retards or what? It seems that way because only DND has created an official online service, while the rest believe that Internet is something secondary in the 21st century.
>>97829598I thought there was another one, but only kept finding the hellfire club thing. Still, that's 3 years after the first season, and then 7 more after that, while they were actively releasing the new not-a-new-edition version of D&D, no less.Also forgot about Baldur's Gate 3, which was so massively successful that it made people who exclusively play 5e stop and think>wait, why the fuck is the RPG this vidya is based on such much fucking worse than the vidya?You'd expect them to do some brand synergy, right? Like a campaign setting guide for Faerun like they intended to do towards the launch of 5e? Or maybe a tabletop-ified version of the BG3 adventure with maps and NPC statblocks, and so on. Nope. They made some minis for their dead on arrival VTT service. And then did nothing as BG3 gobbled up all the awards and told everyone how much they hate working with Hasbro and WotC upper management.
>>97829958Yeah, d&d is basically a zombie brand, now, after the ogl shit everyone was either fired or quit. They also didn't do anything for the 50th anniversary, and their "2024" edition wasn't fully released until 2025.
>>97830473>They also didn't do anything for the 50th anniversaryI recall them doing WORSE than nothing by releasing a book about its history that shat on the franchise's origins for being racist in the literal first page.
OP is a faggot as usual, but this is a genuine question: where the fuck is an indie RPG creator supposed to advertise at all?
>>97838501Podcasts. Tons of people listen to stuff like the one shot podcast and they seem pretty willing to signal boost smaller creators. It also helps if you do your own media thing (podcast, YouTube, etc.).

Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/They used to be split between the website and the discord, but no more.

Hey /tg/ I have a problem. One of my players is a genuine incel. He's 27 and I'm pretty sure he's never had sex. He definitely hasn't gotten laid in a while. He's not really ugly just kinda weird and awkward. I feel bad for him. But he is taking his extreme thirst out in the game. >every time his character, a human eldritch knight, comes back from our adventures he always tries to play up the angle of "we saved the town, where are the girls to suck my dick as thanks?">he constantly talks about how his character is 6 foot 2 (he's 5 foot 8 irl)>he talks out of his ass a lot about medieval times and says that peasant girls were way healthier than modern women.>says how farmers would be begging to marry their lithe 17 year old daughters to him>he talks about medieval demographics and criticizes the DMa works building (which is actually kinda shit to be fair) >you can just tell how excited he is talking about how there should be a dozen villages between these two cities on the map, like he is stopping just short of talking about how many nubile virgin farm girls are there for his fighter to fuckWe tried talking to him about it but he twisted it around to make the rest of us sound like we were fucking gay or something. Also his character is too important to the story to kick him, and running him as an NPC would suck the fun out of it since there's be a lot of the DM just roleplaying with himself while the rest of us watch. So....any advice? Its not worth ruining the game over by kicking him, and nothing is so blatant to be a clear social violation, but the dude is just oozing incel energy and I feel like I should subtly suggest to the DM something that will set his head on straight, and possibly help cure his mindset. Any ideas?

Not only is Yelmalio proven to get his ass beaten constantly in his own stinkin myths, he is portrayed as a proven enemy of the Storm Tribe afterwards.

Humakt is seen as a foreigner since he kut his kinship ties but is still a proper orlanthi god. I don't see why Yelmalio couldn't be written the same way.( in Sartar at the very least)
Give me a rundown because I keep hearing people complaining about two gods being the same in the new edition but apparently they weren't for decadesI don't feel embarrassed for asking because glorantha lore is fucking dense and hard to find in one single place
