What actually makes it different from typical D&D fare? I've heard a lot of good things, but seeing yet another d20 fantasy game made my eyes glaze over.

>>97832339
I don't know about Weird Wizard but do know Demon Lord. Here's some of the differences that improve the game
>You gain a level after each adventure.
>Max level is 10
>Previous two points make for short campaigns so it piss easy to actually finish a complete campaign
>Your stat modifier is your ability score minus 10, so a 12 in strength would be a +2 and an 8 would be -2
>All trait checks are a flat 10 to pass
>Game uses boons and banes mechanic which are situational modifiers. Each boon/bane adds a d6 to your trait check. Boons and banes cancel each other out.
>If you roll multiple boons, you take the highest value and add it to your d20 plus trait modifier to beat the TN of 10. Same with banes but you subtract the highest d6 from your roll.
>There is no initiative roll. Players act in whatever order they want then enemies unless surprised.
>Rounds of combat are broken down in Fast and Slow round. Fast goes first you can move OR take an action, then enemies have their fast round. Then Slow rounds happen where you can move AND take an action. Then enemies get their slow round. You cannot take a Fast and Slow turn in a round, it's one or the other.
>All damage is d6 based.
>Character builds determine damage not equipment.
>Game starts lethal and stays lethal

>>97820448
Not really.

In a way I think D&D is the best TTRPG for being a filter of the trend chasers and who actually are genuinely in the hobby.
Same with Warhammer for wargaming.

>>97820448
Nope. Where it does things differently, it's underbaked. Where it mirrors 5e, it's shallow. It feels built by committee from a group of people who liked some ideas but, somehow wanted to make them worse.

For example:
>I like the idea of a success/fail mechanic that includes a different axis such as advantage/disadvantage.
>But rather than make it follow rationally from difficulty and character skill (such as Genesys) let's make the likelihood of good/bad complication be entirely 50/50 and create a needless metacurrency
>We like PbtA moves and GM turns
>Let's tie GM actions to a random metacurrency
>Accessories like reference cards are super popular among hobbyists
>Let's design our game so that it's near mandatory to include tokens and cards

It's also incredibly shallow. Power levels scale wildly and challenges are fairly trivial. If 5e is "high" fantasy, DH is "coked out"

>>97832339
Multiclassing is essentially built into the system, and you get 3 major choices to mix and match what ability kits (called Paths) that you want, with no requirements needed choose them.

Lvl.1: Novice Path (Skeleton)
Lvl 3: Expert Path (Organs)
Lvl.7: Master Path (Skin)

Best way I can explain them is to image every single subclass in 5e wasn't tied to a specific class and you get to pick 3 subclasses to define your character, while still getting all the benefits those 3 subclass choices have to offer. This can make some wild combinations or something more traditional based on personal preference. Assuming we're just using the core book, Novice Paths are 1 of 4 choices between Fighter/Mage/Priest/Rogue (skeleton), but your Expert Path has a lot of different options that make up the bulk of your character's specialization (Organs), and Master Paths give you the most options out of all, and allow you to lean in on a specialized niche for your character to focus on (Skin).

Intuition. Comic writers are generally midwits, or worse, and they believe that high IQ is like a magic power level that lets people manifest magic items with the power of their super brains. This is often paired with a warped version of savant syndrome where the fictional super genius can pull complex formulas out of their ass, while at the same time being a moral and ethical trainwreck who doesn't understand human emotions or why their planet exploding laser was a bad thing to build, because they were blinded by the orgasmic thrill of SCIENCE.

Real intelligence is being able to understand and intuit new information, ideas, complex concepts with speed and clarity. This can be used for decision making, long-term planning, problem solving, and more.

now you're just repeating your conclusions while still not providing any meaningful argumentation as to how you've reached them
on the assumption that you were aiming to be convincing, you're not having much success so far
instead you sound constipated
tough shit indeed

I've still yet to see any reason as to why I should care about the success of "humanity", as in, the success of this particular arrangement of genes in spreading around.

If I lived in the Avatar universe I would push for mass conversion to Na'vi bodies. They are objectively superior to human ones, so why the fuck shouldn't I change over?

You just sound like a tool. The kind of person who would mindlessly do the bidding of literal demons as long as they pretended to be human.

Light spoilers, but even at page 291 we're still on the bug ship, so him focusing doing the 3d background for the scene seems appropriate (all the sketch pages have no background at all).

Hopefully it just means a short slowing of progress to get the background done before he speeds up again, but I admit I'm getting PTSD flashbacks to the beginning of the dreaded Shuttle Arc.™

>>97830103
I thought he was using AI for the backgrounds? Atleast for the umiak ship. Which I am totally on board with due to the glacial pace of this comic.

Theory:
Fireblade's post-combat shakes aren't PTSD or stress related or a whatever% adverse side effect to cyborg brain rewiring use only as prescribed.
Instead they are the result of Umiak experimentation and bio-tampering which also resulted in telekinesis, the exact opposite of the power they were hoping to instill (they wanted to make a farseer OR create something loyal to them I think).
Fireblade's brain chemistry is part Umiak because they know best how to work with that bio template and the rest of her brain and body behaves erratically when the nerves for telekinesis start pumping bug juice into her brainpan.

Spiral was Maiad, not Tabeni.
Stillstorm is the other Tabeni.
Talon dying because of Stillstorm's orders will give the comic narrative reason to explain Stillstorm's backstory.

>>97833804
idk if he's said anything about it but I think Arioch's plan is to use AI for the background of interstitial scenes like the boarding action where the characters are only in a room for one or two pages. While rooms the characters will be in for long stretches (like the bridge of the bug ship, which the characters seem like they'll be on for like 100 pages) he'll 3D model them. Which I think is a sensible decision.

I'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.

>>97835873
This 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.

Shut the fuck up, faggot. Mai is best girl and one of the better-written characters in the show. She represents what a true competitive duelist has to be to become great. She’s confident, never gives up, and helps her friends and rivals improve so she can improve as well. Nothing wrong in wanting to be better at what you love doing. Some of you fags in this hobby need that kind of character, especially considering how quickly you quit or give up on ygo the moment things become too complicated.

Now, Konami seriously needs to announce better Harpie support now that Feather Storm has been banned. I unsleeved my max rarity Harpie deck last week and it felt bad. Full art Harpie support announcement would be amazing.

You should be looking for a gun to put in your mouth and preferably use buckshot because you might miss with how small your brain is.
Slabs are a scam to anyone not in the loop of money laundering. Where they throw around bullshit values like "$30,000" for a card that's maybe worth $30 because it's an asset with "no set value". There's absolutely no reason these cards, even in mint or 10 condition, should be worth that much. You'll also notice
Meanwhile rubes like you are used as a sort of cash out to make a final buck off these money laundering tools or someone else trying to get you to hold the bag after they realized they were retarded.
You will not make money. The best cons are the cons where they make (you) think you're going to be the scammer but in reality you were played the entire time by a bigger group. Go read any con artist book. You will quickly learn that you are not the guy who will make out good.

>>97835941
>You'll also notice [ ]
Shit, accidently cut that part.
You'll also notice that slabs of the same or similar grade of the exact same card are wildly different in sale price. This should be a red flag to you that what you're buying is a bunch of bullshit.

If the Salamanders are the nicest Loyal chapter who is the nicest Traitor chapter? Who causes the least problems when they invade?

>>97834347
An invasion is a pretty big problem. Also note that Traitors don't have chapters, they have warbands, which are almost infinitely less organized and usually consist of whoever the hell the man in charge can bludgeon into following him.
If I had to make a guess, though, I'd say a very particular type of Word Bearer, one which lands on-planet, conveniently fails to mention his treasonous behavior or attitude toward the Emperor, and basks in the adulation of the local populace that one of the Emperor's Angels has arrived. They will then slowly convert the populace and undermine authorities, or convert the authorities and sacrifice the populace, or whatever the hell they decide to do with a planet. Probably try to fortify it against Imperial forces, likely as a staging point for future actions.
All of these possibilities do still count as problems, though. That kind of comes with being invaded.

>>97834347
Maybe Alpha Legion? Their usual tactics involve a single squad to infiltrate a planet and then begin a cult. This is only nice in the sense that it's on a much longer scale and starts out much smaller. By the time the cults in full swing though, all hell is breaking loose and all manner of sacrifice and debauchery is being carried out in the name of Chaos.

Just play games with them. Here is me playing HeroScape with my 4 year old yesterday.
As for hobby time, I have a 4 year old and 1year10month old and they have never taken from my hobby time. I do my painting and crafting in evening after they have gone to bed, or I set them up with paint supplied next to me while I paint at my desk and let them paint toy army men or pictures, so they get to be just like Dad and it's good bonding time.
When they were babies it was even easier since they just sleep around and lay all day, but at this early age they should be on their mother almost 24/7 unless you're a millennial dad married to a feminist

>>97835135
I mean that's kinda something they were already getting at in SC1 and Brood War. The Conclave had failed and was a broken ruin, the Overmind could only be beaten with the power of the Nerazim, and those same Nerazim were the ones who ended up saving the Protoss as they fled from Aiur. The whole point was that the current ways of the Protoss weren't working and needed to change.

>>97835164
I know that, I just feel that the change was achieved way too easily.

>>97835185
Because Artanis is the Executor - YOU - from SC1. Of course he gets shit done.

>>97835185
It sorta just happens between games since that's where BW leaves the Protoss at. Their society has essentially collapsed twice over, first with the Conclave being destroyed on Aiur then with Raszagal being killed in Brood War. Hell one of the Zerg missions in BW has you more or less blow up the biggest city on Shakuras.
The Protoss basically didn't HAVE anywhere else to progress. Artanis was their only big leader left, with Selendis being his only significant lieutenant if we consider her as the BW Executor.
Protoss kinda got written into a hole by getting slammed hard in their SC campaign and then being the first campaign in BW, letting the Terran and Zerg campaigns walk over them.

>>97834477
Or just don't take him. Unlike most wargames, Starcraft doesn't require a hero or leader model for the army.
