>>97835329You do know there are a bunch of animals that are named after the places they live in right?
>>97835358I think what anon is trying to say is that the fruit was named after a lake from Dante's inferno, and was framed as a mythical zoan that gave ice demon powers (ice generation and control like a paramecia, plus vaguely described demon powers) even though there's no such demon named like that, just a lakeHe could have just gone the Yamato route and take an actual mythical ice creature imo. Plus this is all leaving aside whatever is going on with Imu in canon

>>97834658The card has $10,000 on it, and gains $500 each month. This is 5% growth per MONTH. 5% growth per YEAR is decent or slightly below average growth in most stocks. I transfer all my money to the card and let it balloon rapidly. This is the most logical way for the card to function, both in terms of "that's just how money works" and in terms of "the money is just so laughably paltry otherwise that it doesn't make sense as a CYOA reward."The Pile of Booty is tempting. "You have no legal claim to it" doesn't make much sense. Assuming you own your home, I'm pretty sure resources on your land would become your property unless they were provably stolen, and nothing suggests that here. But between the government risk, logistics of melting it down and selling it, and wildcard pirate crew, I'd take the rapidly ballooning card.

Been thinking a lot about this>So the warp, as the realm of souls, originally was a creation of the old ones as a weapon against the necrontyr in the war of heaven. It allowed not only a means for the Aeldari and Krorks to use psychic powers, but also cheat death and allow them to respawn infinitely. >But after the war in heaven the warp is destabilized due to the negative emotions, death, and general usage. There's no more old ones to fix it either.>Now the "warp" sends those same negative emotions at the Aeldari who in turn start going crazy. They start doing their murder orgies, but it's not really fair to blame them as they are influenced by the warp. The same thing is known to happen to human psykers as well. The warp make psykers, especially untrained ones, crazy and emotional. In long terms it uses them to gain more power and access to realspace. REMEMBER THIS.>This creates a feedback loop where the the negative emotions make the mortals crazy and in turn have the negative emotions to fuel the warp. Ultimately resulting in slaanesh. khorne nurgle and tzeentch are likely started in the war in heaven, but finished during humanity's early era when human psykers start showing up.Con
I bring all of this up because when you factor in the Emperor's ultimate plan of "unlocking humanity's psychic potential" Holy fuck no! Being a psyker has obvious strengths, but apparently not so obvious weaknesses. Making all of humanity psykers is going to stir the warp up and drive the populace insane. It doesn't help that this same guy is also>culling his own kind for not agreeing with him.>making bargains with the same force he's supposed to be against.>giving radio silence to anyone about the warp. The ONE thing that might at least stave back the side effects of warp usage. Craftworlders have mental training and disciplined lifestyles and they're some of the best psykers (though it's not a foolproof strategy) Bare minimum start killing anyone caught using the warp (Ironically the inquisition that everyone hates is better at ruling the imperium than the fucking emperor.)NO!Instead of doing anything to actually fight chaos, he kills a bunch of humans for calling him a faggot, kills a bunch of aliens, and then fucks off to work on a webway portal. Y'know that thing that was broken and contaminated by deamons when the Aeldari fell? To avoid the deamons encountered in warptravel? When does this make sense? When does his actions actually benefit humanity that's not himself? People chalk this up to "Daddy issues", but there wasn't a need for primarchs in the first place! You didn't need super-generals for what the great crusade accomplished. There was no need to go that fast besides the obvious advantage of your enemies have it hard strategizing against you.Even without Erebus, Horus, Lorgar or any of the other characters that supposedly """"ruined everything""""" His idea was doomed to fail.

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?

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?

>>97828161it's a light game. not as elegant as knizias, but only a bit harder to teach. you go fast by matching a bunch of symbols together from up to three cards from your hand, plus one from a shared crowd card. there are a number of suits with abilities like cornering, healing, and attacking. whenever you take an action in a suit you advance its skill marker. depending on the crowd's whims you have opportunities to advance the skill marker double. once the skill markers start landing in the bonus zones, your speed when you take those moves gets much much stronger. it turns a game of simple hand optimization into constant tough value judgements of when to prioritize upgrades over your current position. there's not a ton of player interaction, but the mind games around when to shield from attacks and using whips to maximum effect based on position do enough for mevery timeless vibe and plenty thematic for my tastes

>>97835066This seems like a good skeleton to build on. I think reflavoring the vestiges to be various elementals might be more in line what I'd imagined (Fire, Water, Earth, and Air) and then granting abilities along those lines would be the way to go. Thanks for the input.
>>97835127I did experiment with rules for rolling an injury if someone went to 0 HP during a fight. Though I did limit it to a single roll once the battle was over, justified as the adrenaline preventing them from noticing the injury until afterwards. That did require some tuning, like changing the lose an arm/leg results into just breaking an arm/leg. And it's something I haven't had the chance to really fine-tune. I'd likely want to add Con mod as a bonus to the roll, and possibly implement a penalty for each time they went down. But it did ultimately accomplish the goal of making the players far more wary about going down to 0 and playing more cautiously as a result. Doing something similar with exhaustion would probably be less punishing, but still quite effective. I wish the game had more enemies like the Giant Spider that basically countered 0 HP healing by themselves. There's more enemies that just outright kill a PC when reducing them to 0 compared to those that would just incapacitate a PC for 1 minute on reducing them to 0.

I have found most systems for armor and defense unsatisfying.I find pure damage negation doesn't represent that armor doesn't just reflect but also reduces a lot of damage too, a hammer to the helmet won't just plink off its going to have some significant concussive effect, if less than against an unhelmeted head. But on the other end, armor as pure static damage reduction often doesn't illustrate the other end, that many attacks SHOULD simply be negated, a knife thrown at a breastplate won't just deal less damage, it will ping off harmlessly.And Barbarians of Lemuria, Specifically the Mythic version, I believe addresses both those concerns for me.This is done by a. health and damage being kept rather conservative and relatively equal, not becoming exponential as levels go up and b. armor being a die you roll for damage reduction rather than a static number. The range of damage that armor protects just so happens to align with the damage most weapons can do. damage being 1-6 + strength and armor protecting 0-5 damage. meaning that a low roll on most attacks and a high roll on most armor saves will have the armor totally negate attacks, while a high attack roll and a low armor roll will totally bypass armor, and a medium attack roll and a medium armor roll will deal reduced damage.This is all modified by the fact that 2 handed weapons you roll 2d6 and pick the highest damage, medium weapons you roll straight 1d6 and light weapons you roll 2d6 pick the lowest. And armor ranged from light reducing d6-3 damage (0-3 damage), medium reducing d6-2 damage (0-4 damage), and heavy reducing d6-1 damage (0-5 damage). This means a dagger has the potential to deal as much damage as a great axe if situation permits (like dagger to the eye slit), but is less likely too, and that light armor could fully protect you from a glancing blow like heavy armor, but is also less likely too.
>>97829011Yes you do. I have never seen a person not love it when they roll a wound chart.
>>97817261I'm gonna be real, I ran half a dozen sessions of it and rolling armor was really tedious. Does it simulate reality well? Maybe. Do I want to do it 30 times a combat? No. There's also the problem that a couple of unlucky armor rolls will completely fuck your players.
>>97825641Meant that it's pretty dumb to say there is a "universally better" armor system because every game has different aims, and you should ask yourself if that way of using armor (or anything) works within the specific framework.
>>97832349OP said favorite, not perfect though. So the one you have the most affinity with rather than it working in every instance.You can have a favorite very complex armor system, but acknowledge that it might not be good for a specific rules light and non simulationist kind of game. Or vis versa you like a very abstracted armor system, but it might not fit your current game of GURPS THe Armored Autist expansion. Or your favorite might be a balance of complexity and simplicity.
>>97817261I think old fallout's DR/DT system makes the most sense. Some armours just reduce damage (eg. Nonrigid armours like mail or kevlar) and any significant hit will still injure the person behind it to some extent. Other armours can largely or outright prevent the wearer from suffering any injury (generally rigid armours like plate or ceramic inserts) up to a point.Of course limits exist, as the example given of a hammer to the helmet, but those could be done via weapon rules and modifiers.
>mimimi, humans don't have their own feature, mimimi, we have to invent somethingNecromancy right here. When was the last time you saw non-human necromancer, lich or vampire? That's right, they practically don't exist because other races are simply inferior when it comes to necromancy and those non-human undead are so pathetic that everyone forgets about their existence in 5 minutes . Except for that one orc, but even he understood that he was worthless and therefore got himself a human body to finally become a full-fledged lich.
