I was going to use the fictional religion of the story 'stranger in a strange land' called 'The Church of all worlds' and their thing with psychic powers. But I found out that psychics are illegal in the Island setting of the game. So is there any other fictional religion with an air of legitimacy or at least some sort of supernatural powers?
Does it have to be based on a real religion? You can use whatever as a basis to justify powers, from eastern cultivation to 1984 party powers that actually work.
>>97834539This is one of the stupidest fucking questions I have ever seen here. I genuinely cannot conceptualize what you're actually asking for. How are you not able to just say that the religion has those things, what are you actually digging after?

>>97836213>>97836094btw forgot to put it in the lst patch note but Cosmetic Improvement costs an extra 1 Beri if you take the Love-Love fruit.
>>97836230Yeah I noticed and I think it's pretty fair, the Love-Love is pretty much only as strong as it is because the user has the equivalent of that perk. Makes it cost as much as a Great without actually putting it in Great if you want that sort of potency.
>>97836248imo the Love-Love Fruit is a great fruit (you can still turn stuff to stone on contact and shoot arrows that can also do that regardless of the attraction). I think that the Love-Love fruit with Cosmetic Improvement is an Amazing-tier fruit.
>turn anything to stone on contact or with arrows>instant kill beamit's great, and any argument to the contrary is disregardedthe cosmetic nerf needs to be removed though, it makes no sense seeing how literally nothing else has that drawback
>>97836269>>97836304Yeah my bad, I mentally swapped the tiers around and thought Great was the highest because how focused I was discussing those tiers earlier. I do agree it's a Great, and my sentiment should've stated that its fair for Cosmetic Improvement to make it cost as much as an Amazing considering how much of a bonus you'll be getting out of it and I'd say it would firmly place it on par with the other fruits there.
How should Wizards fix and improve Birthright rules, so it wouldn't be a total ass to GM?
>>97836175Why is the detail of this image absolute dog shit? Is this AI generated, or is it because 2e is such a garbage game that it permeates even to digital files?
Given that anime and anime inspired cartoon styles have become pretty much the norm or at least incredibly common in most other forms of indie entertainment (TTRPGs, videogames, comics, animation, even miniature wargames). How comes it remains a relatively rare style to find in board games, an industry that operates almost entirely in the form of independent creators and small studios? How comes it still carries associations of being an art-style of games "for kids"? It was so strange when pic related came out seeing people "warning" others that even tho "it looks like a game for kids, it's actually quite difficult and heavy".
>>97829118>my dick joke in the year of our lord and saviour 2026Kek anon, can't get mad at you.
>>97828297To be fair UNO and Monopoly are not what I'd call "hobbyist games". They're incredibly mainstream popular products that essentially exist in their own bubble and respond to completely different markets and pressures, Hasbro would never consider publishing something like Sweet Lands because it caters to a completely different demographic than their games. Easily re-skinnable hobbyist games would be things like, idk, Love Letter I guess, tho that's a pretty simple game and it has technically gotten its fair share of licensed re-skins, none based on anime AFAIK.
>>97826974>Given that anime and anime inspired cartoon styles have become pretty much the norm or at least incredibly common in most other forms of indie entertainmentI think one contributing factor to why this is so is because anime is just entertaining so naturally people want a slice of the anime pie to try and mimic it's aesthetics to get sales and support. But maybe one reason it isn't very common in board games is due to not wanting to be go with what is more popular and try to stand out as anime might be too mainstream now?Just guessing.
>>97827637Even Transformers tackled that stuff when the studio censors allowed it to. Showing the violence in the form of giant robots blowing up allows you to get away with themes for younger audiences that would be frowned on if you depicted soldiers realistically killing each other, like in LotGH.
>>97826974>quite difficult and heavyIt barely hits the midweight rank of an eurogame.
Elves in trouble editionDiscuss elves.Post elves.Love elves.All elf lore, games, stories, and anything else elfy is all appreciated.Thread question:Do your elves get in trouble a lot? How?Previous >>97741661
>>97835533There was at least one person sperging in that thread. Him or the 2.0 version, it's hard to tell. Either way, don't try to reason with that level of autism. That way lies only madness.
>>97835559That guy to be fair was the 40K Eldar lorefag, not the Noldorfag. He stopped after an anon talked him down nicely.Noldorfag on the other hand can't be stopped.
>>97835569I get called Noldorfag all the time because people just throw it around every time anyone pushes back against smut and fanwank spam. Like I said in that particular thread, my source of annoyance at eldar x human romance shit is the fact that it goes against the lore of 40k, humanizes the eldar too much for my liking, and the people that like that shit insist on spamming it every time Eldar are discussed. I have literally never imagedumped into threads like Noldorfag does but I still get put under that label. I've lurked in these threads for example about the moment they were first made because I like elves in general. I just have a pet peevee about the Eldar and their lore.

I always hear about the stir this caused, and recently about how bad or redeemable it is. I'm not certain about it myself because I dabbled with 3e and then got into 5e, never paid much attention to the scene during that entire era. What does /tg/ think of the system?
>>97780412>Is combat heaviness REALLY D&D?Yes, since late AD&D2e, absolutely.>players would be rewarded for ingenuity, leveling up from the loot rather than the killing of monstersThis is kinda OSR revisionism and creating a modality of play from the first principles and systems-based thinking about the rules.By the early 80s, especially after Dragonlance, many tables gravitated toward a combat and narrative heavy approach you would recognize today. The OSR style was frankly a bit of a blip that was not the dominant style of play for the vast majority of TSR D&D's publication.
>>97831152No version of D&D is actually built for Council of Wyrms but 2e has some adjustments made to maybe do it, since it was written for 2e.>>97830877It also thinks that Strength is inherently more important than other assigned or rolled Ability scores when the cleric and druid exist.
>>97833944I'm not sure we're on the same page, but I meant like Council of the Wyrms had rules for dragon PCs, and 3e got adaptations in Dragon Magazine, Draconomicon, Dragon Magic etc.
>>97833891>By the early 80s, especially after Dragonlance, many tables gravitated toward a combat and narrative heavy approachYes, we call that storyshitting, and just because you and them played wrong back in the day, it doesn't make you any less stupid, or somehow correct.

>>97836209I'm gonna be real, Filoni-slop has been my guilty pleasure. I do wish he would develop new characters though
>>97835775Holy nostalgiabait.TCW was largely an attempt to unfuck the epic plotholes that gaped between AotC and RotS.It may have succeeded to a degree, but if it take half a decade of cartoons to unfuck the movies then maybe, just maybe, the movies had a slight problem with their plot, focus and pacing.And that is exactly what the PT had. AotC wasted roughly half the screentime on utterly irrelevant shit had awful acting and even worse dialogue.TPM was even worse with the waste of focus and time.
>>97836266>le films are BAAAD, TCW FIXED THEMGo back to plebbit Filonifag>the epic plotholes that gaped between AotC and RotSNo plotholes exist you fucking retard, every plothole I've heard is insanely retarded and kveching. Just admit you don't like the movies because they aren't the OT again which is exactly what you wanted (and go back to watching JJ slop)>AotC wasted roughly half the screentime on utterly irrelevant shit had awful acting and even worse dialogueLike? I've already covered the dialogue before but pretty much everything in AotC is essential. What else is there that is superfluous and irrelevant exactly?>TPM was even worse with the waste of focus and time.Like?
Some of you fags seem to have a terminal case of Lucas/Filoni derangement syndrome. These posts range from insane to pathetic.It's nice to be reminded that a lot of Star Wars fans don't actually deserve to live.

Patrick Rothfuss based his novels on his experiences playing D&D as a child.https://blog.patrickrothfuss.com/2008/03/end-of-era-2/
George RR Martin may have had his career as a writer bud before D&D came onto the scene, but he was an early gamer and even transitioned to GURPS for all his games with friends. https://youtu.be/DoIb62THIT0?si=EuB-CWwprb_mR-hi

>>97835092Firefly was based on a Traveller game Whedon played in college.
>>97835115This is what I came here for.
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?
>>97836042That’s not a bad idea, just want to say that, but it’s not 100% true. Anything can potentially set fire to the imagination, sometimes it’s stuff you wouldn’t even think of. But you HAVE to be in the right headspace. If you’re stressed, or feeling particularly sorry for yourself, nothing’s going to ignite that spark of creativity to fuel the imagination until you get your head on straight.I mean, you wouldn’t expect someone to run a marathon on a broken leg, would you? That’s why seeing to one’s mental health is so important.
>>97836071You are objectively correct. But I still say "books."
>>97836178Because one’s a real, long-term solution.And the other is just being an ass.
>>97836219You gotta keep at it. I'm not suggesting picking up a book and reading forty pages. I'm talking getting to a place where you read 200 pages a day, or so. It takes work and time. It'll get through the depression. It really will. Your suggestion about therapy is correct--no question. But that's an easy thing to say and not necessarily an option. If we could get the help, we prolly wouldn't be in a position where we needed it, anon.
>>97836227True. But which is which is not what you believe it is. The only long term thing therapy is is a payment plan. How many depressed people do you know that went to therapy and got cured of depression instead of the usual "yeah I am going to therapy once a week since I was 15, it's been thirty years and it really helped me"

It's simple. We, uh, make content based on the response that these guys furnished via their agents about wanting to get paid for making content about your content.
>>97835873This isn't about politics though.This is about the absolute size of his gigantic ridiculous man-tits.The reason he said "Diet-Nazi" is because implicitly, he believes that you are not allowed to make fun of fat people.Making fun of fat people however, is universal, because being fat is undesirable, physically unhealthy, and unattractive.And when it comes with a pair of gigantic pendulous man-tits, the hysterical laughter cannot be stopped by moral posturing.
Is OP going to post the module? It at the very least would give OP the attention he requires.

>>97829277I'm wondering if spending my money going to OP15 Pre-release tourney is worth it.. 6 booster packs for about $41, so far that price was good last week.. But now every card dropped AT LEAST $5 because they're more widely available.I'm unsure about actually making back the money I spend with those boosters. Though there's prizes for the top 4, I wonder if I could make it there.

>>97831038First mistake is thinking 300 dollars is a buy in price to play a game. You're acting a collector, own it.
>>97826573>V's face isn't censored like in the game
>>97826573That depends, did the people buy it because they are interested in playing it as a game, or are people buying it because they hope to be able to resell it somewhere down the line>>97827082Ah.

>>97836055>no circles have been necessary thus farat least in lion rampant its not a physical circle, just a hypothetical 6 inch blob centered on a single model. It just makes it so that distances are roughly regular. a half of an inch this way or that doesnt really matter if you arent doing facing shenanigans where you incorporate units turning their front.
>>97836190There's facing insofar as if your articulation can't point at something or position a weapon, you don't have a valid shot or melee, but differential armor or anything complicated like that. The mediafire does seem to work, since I'm seeing one download of the rules, so the doc might provide more insight. I suppose the rule for determining reach sort of acts as a roundabout imaginary blob with different sizes per unit?
I'll start>D&D 5E is a heroic fantasy game (I didn't say good), trying to do anything else should have you using a different system.
>>97833615I think you have to prepare some things. Folks like discovery and learning about the world they are imagining. If you are improvising every detail it can become a little unsatisfying. I do absolutely agree with you that prepping "situations" rather than "plots" is meaningful. That, and letting whatever story is being told change based on the actions of the characters. Like many things in life, it ends up being a moderation of improv and planning.>>97835150>>97835186NTA. I think there's merit to preparing some things that players can choose to interact with or not. Secrets about the world for players to discover (or not). As well as preparing - in advance- for what characters encounter based on their prior actions. I agree that preparing an expected outcome or limiting the player choice to solving any given problem is bad GMing.
>>97835369Wow, this is incoherent. What the fuck are you even trying to say? Do you even like 5e?
>>97801163and the worst for gms
>>97835566That merit is in premise of the game. Anything past that is reaction to the events in said game, along with outcomes of the rolls (or whatever other resolution mechanic the game uses).Also: any extra prep is pointless work and wasted time & energy on GM side.There is a reason why this kind of shit is a newfag-specific problem
>>97835566I didn't say anything about not preparing stuff. I said players can choose their own goals.
