MTG is unironically an IQ test. If you're bad, you're low IQ. If you're good, you're high IQ. This even applies to arena which had training wheels for triggers etc.

>>97833202Half right, if you're high IQ you already quit playing MtG

>>97818057What's the difference between using random art online without crediting it and using AI for your portraits?
>>97834353Far as most people are concerned, nothing. Far as information spread goes, the majority of people using free llm machines are basically feeding them more data with which to essentially dump even larger amounts of slop online that makes finding random art online that isn’t AI much harder overtime.But again, most people don’t care about that. Granted, I come from the era where people were mspainting celebrity photos and using those anime dress up games to use as avatars for their internet text games, so I really don’t see the arguments for AI being “free” being that persuasive, as though people haven’t been finding alternatives for paid shit since forever.
>>97818057I don't care about ai. Personally I wouldn't use it, but it is up to you to choose how to play the game. Making art is absolutely ok, not everybody can draw (or even if they can, an adventure usually requires tons of art, I'd prefer my gm to spend this time on making cool mechanics or interesting situations). Writing an adventure sounds lame, but then again why would I care how you made it, if I don't like it, it is not because of AI, it is because AI did a poor job. Generating a character is "why would you do it" tier, but also why would I care, it is your character, you choose who it is.
>>97827730I support the people saying we need to kill people saying we need regulations and expansion of government involvement in private life. Especially if their rational involves pop culture references to things like terminator or I have no ass and I must shit.
He did nothing wrong.Everything that he ever did was for humanity
>>97828047Not an unreasonable assumption, but imagine an Angron with no Nails. A Lorgar raised atheist. No Night Haunter, and all the rest. Would he have been a bad father? Quite possible. But would the end result be objectively better in every way had he had the proper chance? Absolutely.
>>97808417>Adeptus Custodes: PerfectHard disagree, orcs love a good fight, but a good fight is actually trading hits. They want a proppa scrap, not running headfirst into a wall made of blenders that you never get a chance to hit back.
>>97808630Lorgar was too eager to find actual gods, when he discovered Chaos it was close enough that he was duped and didn't figure it out in time.

Writing General: 'psychopomps' editionWelcome to /wg/, the thread for all /tg/ related writing. Whether you're plotting your campaign, trying to come up with a character backstory, or just trying to write some setting fluff, this is the place to post it. You don't even have a campaign, just an idea you want to develop? You're welcome here. While the rest of /tg/ is arguing over monstergirl mating and which way rivers are supposed to flow, we're here to help you turn your thoughts into an actual finished product.As the successor to the Storythreads, we're also open to /tg/ related fanfiction (D&D, Warhammer, Battletech, whatever). In fact, if you've written any vaguely /tg/-related short stories, you can try them out here. We also have flash-fiction challenges from time to time.There's a discord for writers herehttps://discord.gg/6AwKHGFThe previous thread can still be found in the archive here>>97133758And finally an archive of /tg/ fiction can be found here:http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Storythread (dead link, but may be resurrected one day)https://2d4chan.org/wiki/Storythread (page missing, wiki still up)Comment too long.

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?
Take one for the team irl.
>>97833928Sex helps.t. 37 y.o. forever GM incel, running games for my happily married and young normie friends.
>>97833928Do any of your players know any single, moderately desperate women?
>>97833928Just ask him to stop bringing up sexuality in the game for your sake. Tell him "Hey I'm not comfortable with your bringing up sexuality so often. Would you mind stopping, for me?"Just make it a request that's about you. About how you're feeling. And that you're asking him to do something for you. Don't make it about him. Make it about you and a favor you're asking him to do for you. Don't make it about accusing him of anything. He'll get defensive and start arguing w/ you and trying to "turn it around." That's how anyone responds when they feel attacked.The problem is you're asking him to recognize a character flaw and grow as a person. Don't do that. It's too much to ask for. Make it about asking him to be considerate of you, so that his choice is to say "ok" or intentionally be an asshole.
>Also his character is too important to the story to kick himThat just means the character's death will be a significant turning point of the story.
Recently I found some Humanity Fuck Yeah YouTube videos that use AI voice narration on my feed. After using them as background noise while cleaning my apartment I found that that most of them are more or less the same. Humans are the only ones who know how to fight/love sex/survive/etc. How can we save the genre or reinvent it so it isn't so stale?
>>97834230What this guy said. Preserving humanity's existence is worth the deaths of entire solar systems worth of Navi.
>>97834230>>97834231>>97834236For most of human history there was an understanding that it was better to die for a just cause than it is to live in obedience to an unjust one. Avatar is meant to be one of those stories... kind of like that movie about the American Indians that's oddly similar to Avatar. I think the existential angle they added about human extinction undermines the narrative because you have people hyper fixating on that one specific aspect of the worldbuilding and flattening their engagement with the rest of the story.We are also only told that humanity needs the resources on Pandora by the company invested in harvesting those resources. Apply your critical thinking faculties to that.
>>97834214that entire post in turn is repeated "Why didn't he do X?", which is still not criticism of the actions he actually took, but rather armchair strategizingit is ironic you should decry his character, considering you sound impatient and emotional yourself
>>97834251>We are also only told that humanity needs the resources on Pandora by the company invested in harvesting those resources.I am pretty sure there is a lot of extra material that confirm that it wasn't just a giant psyop. Let me try to check on the wikiHoly fucking fuck. >The article starts saying that Unobtanium is a rare earth compound that has the position 120 on the periodic table>Everything only goes more retarded beyond thatOok, I can't fault you for ignoring extra material
>>97834282You expect a person who's an experienced hand in their field, to know basic things about their field.One of which for anything combat-related, is that recon and intelligence is really fucking important if you want to win.Tough shit if you don't like it, but given what we know of Qualrich and his actions, he was deliberately taking the dumbest and most mission-destructive actions he could, fucking himself over in the process, so he could RP as a 'Nam GI.Cry about it as much as you want. Write a gay fanfic of him if you want to. But he consistently makes and takes the worst possible choices he could, as a commander, for almost all the first movie.

>>97833625>what's the best cyoa-related use you all have found for AI/LLM so far?I've asked it to expand / clarify vague options.

>>97834541Even if you don't ignore death points, Find Steed doesn't have a time limit, so as long as you have one free day of downtime you can just cast it and have it for later.Feels like the best option is to go for Eldritch Knight Fighter so you have extra spell slots to use the spells alongside bonus feats so you have more room to spare for the feat chain.
>>97834541>I'd rather cast fear for one point.For me as the DM fear must be the single most frustrating spell in the game, along with confusion. I hate it so much I'd consider banning it altogether but it'd feel petty and fortunately my players don't use it that often.
>>97834568>Feels like the best option is to go for Eldritch Knight Fighter so you have extra spell slots to use the spells alongside bonus feats so you have more room to spare for the feat chain.Personally, I'd use a spell slot fo the steed and save the death point for wrathful smite. You have to take that feat first so you're going to have it as an option, and you don't get the extra disadvantage without using a death point.>>97834569The spell does does have a few limitations compared to hypnotic pattern or web>30ft cone vs 30ft cube with a 120 range>fear grants extra chance to savebut holy hell, a good fear feels so damn good
>>97834584It's the dash away part that makes me seethe relentlessly, and the disarm part is pretty annoying too though it rarely matters for me because I always remember to give enemies sidearms and bosses can cope with legendary resistance or outright fear immunities. Fear is just annoying to run for me, I think I'd rather it paralyzed enemies with save each turn, which arguably would be stronger, just to save myself the headache of them running away.

>>97832971>he's never had a girl booty call him, no strings attachedSad!
>>97832971I lost my virginity because I mentioned to a girl who I worked with for my first job that her hair looked nice in a ponytail, because one of the few social skills I could remember was 'if you notice a girl has changed her appearance, say something'.Apparently she'd had a crush on me and thought i was cute - to this day I can only assume she was blind and had terrible taste, because a joke i used to tell was that i looked like i sold drugs to kids but didn,t because kids didn't have the cash - but never said anything because I had serious flat affect going on and she found me intimidating. My autistic mumbled compliment was all it took for her to get the confidence to ask if we could hang out, and I somehow fumbled my way into learning what carpet burn was. I got seriously lucky because I'd probably still be a virgin if not for her having terrible taste in men.I had little money to spare and didn't buy her presents or go out on dates, though I could and did cook. We just hung out, had fun and had a lot of sex. If that was a transactional relationship the transaction was 'I will give you company and sex and food, and in exchange please give me company, sex and an excuse to cook'.
>>97833365You have to have the looks for that thoughI'm reasonably good-looking or at least used to be in my 20s, I don't think anyone would have ever given me the time of day without my looks
>>97825349Autists lack the social filter to suppress the biological urge almost all female creatures have, to be choosy about mates. It's why mating displays and competitions are done by males almost exclusively (I'm sure there are exceptions but they are by far the extreme minority). It's female nature to judge males to see who is worthy of reproducing. It's the core of why women hate each other, they don't share the same male standards, hence any woman who deviates too much is potentially letting males reproduce that "should not." Why do you think women are so eager to criticize their friends' boyfriends and husbands?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh4MLTY82kcEVERYBODY knows it's true, but not many are willing to admit it.

>>97827927Literal retard take. Clonemasters using forbidden technology and kicking off a series of destructive wars is kino. Lucas's faggy "lol palpatine was the puppet master of both sides the whole time" is something a 12 year old would write and think was super edgy and cool. You're not a 12-year old are you anon? You have to be at least 13 to post here.
Test
>>97834064Even Lucas's ideas for the Clone Wars seem to have changed somewhere between the OT and prequels. In an earlier script of ESB, Lando was supposed to be a clone, and he mentions how there's not many clones around after the Clone Wars and implies that clones have a bad reputation because of the war, which would suggest that the original idea was that the war was against clones (which would also fit with it being called the Clone Wars: the PT conflict would make more sense to be called the Separatist War or the Droid Wars, since that's what the Republic was actually fighting against).
>>97834064Bad bait nigger>Clonemasters using forbidden technology and kicking off a series of destructive wars is kinoNo it isn't. It's generic sci-fi slop which appeals to the lowest common denominator. The kind of shit you'd see in a subpar sci-fi comic series in the 50s. "Oy vey le misterious evil dude has clones to invade le galaxy" bleh.>Lucas's faggy "lol palpatine was the puppet master of both sides the whole time" is something a 12 year old would write and think was super edgy and coolPalpatine is the TRUE villain of Star Wars. You're just such a fucking retard that you take Sheev to be a bog average villain that gets defeated and replaced in a week. Palpatine is Satan, his conquest of the Republic using political manipulation and fearmongering is TRUE kino, it's realistic and not just pew pew nonsense. It also requires thought to understand unlike Zahn's trash. Chances are you don't even understand the PT and think the politics are boring lmao>>97834478>Lucas's ideas for the Clone Wars seem to have changed somewhere between the OT and prequelsNo fucking shit retard, Lucas' ideas for the OT changed between movies. That's how stories go>Lando was supposed to be a clone, and he mentions how there's not many clones around after the Clone Wars In early ANH publications Stormtroopers were mentioned to be clones, which was what Lucas adapted into the Republic Clone Army. In the novel Palpatine was revealed as the manipulated Emperor and that was tweaked in ESB, RotJ and the PT>which would also fit with it being called the Clone Wars: the PT conflict would make more sense to be called the Separatist War or the Droid Wars, since that's what the Republic was actually fighting againstNo. This is retarded. Is WWII called "the Axis War"? Is the American Revolutionary War called "the British War"? It's called the Clone Wars because the conflict heavily revolved around the new Clone Army which got mass media coverage.
