Does your character treat figures of authority with deference or are they a cheeky bugger?
>>97183492About one in five women in the United States experienced completed or attempted rape during their lifetime.Globally, an estimated one in three (30%) women worldwide have been subjected to either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. About one in 26 men in the U.S. have experienced completed or attempted rape. Nearly a quarter (24.8%) of men have experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetime.

>>97183368Depends on the authority figure in question.
>>97183368>Does your character treat figures of authority with deference or are they a cheeky bugger?As much deference as possible, because for me the metagame is to stop the other PCs from going off on wild tangents.It's exhilarating, I shut them down whenever they try and disrupt things. I WILL drag you across the finish line. We WILL have an adventure for a party of 4-5 PCs of Level 6-7. No, you don't get to ruin the night with your shenigans, because I WILL grab at every plot hook. You will NOT talk to the villain and try to change sides, I will scupper diplomacy by deliberately attacking the obvious BBEG so we WILL have the final battle.
>>97183368A lot of my characters have been either cunning schemers or idealistic young nobles, both of whom have good reason to be polite and deferential. The former because they want to cozy up to powerful people (and typically lack fighting prowess), the latter because they respect the importance of hierarchy (and will someday wield authority themselves). Woe betide the authority figures that my characters don't respect, however. The schemers will happily snark at or demean lesser authorities if they think they can get away with it, while the nobles will seek to tear down unworthy leadership.
I always found it weird that D&D was maligned as witchcraft, satanism, and anti-social. From what I can tell, TTRPGs just increase sociability, problem solving, conscientiousness, and probably improves self-concept through skills and self-esteem. Did any anons here live through Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons or the Satanic Panic? Sorry if this is boring or repetitive to others, but I want to study the social aspects of TTRPGs and how it exists as a subculture. I think, by and large, this is the best board on 4chan because people really care about this hobby and want to help others get into it. Despite the shitposting, I think the community is vibrant and the games I played through Find a Game threads were all filled with genuine, nice people. So it irks me that the Satanic Panic tried to paint subcultures as evil. Maybe it's because people think TTRPGs overlap with extreme music or just teenage entertainment in general.
>>97182337>Now we have to fear the evil Furries or Socialists hiding out in middle schoolsThey aren't really hiding, though. They post their intentions all over social media.
>>97182309If you live long enough and pay attention, there's always a moment of panic when the general populace stops being scared of whatever they're fearmongering this year. First it was brits. Oh, we need them for trade now. Irish! OK, they're pretty white and do a lot of the grunt work. Chinese and italians! No, one works even harder and the other cooks delicious food. Blacks! Oh, wow there's a lot of them and they're scary when they're mad. Poor People! It does double-duty since we've rigged it so most blacks cant's get out of poverty, we can just make poor people the villains and it's LIKE racism. Nooo.... that's not working, oh wait, all the other european nationalities! No, people sympathize with them because there's so many blended families making up our society. Jews! We can blame everything on.... oh.... uhhhmmm.... yeah, that's kinda not a good look right now. Let's put htat one on the back burner for later. But, hey, world war 2! VILIFY THE JAPS AND KRAUTS! Oh, they stopped being scared of asians and germans, so they made 'commies' the boogieman. Then we stopped being scared of them, at it was gays. Then rock and roll and car enthusiasts, then it was heavy metal and DnD, then blacks again, then they tried gays again but nobody cared so it was nerds, oh wait we need those, then it was the poor again, then it was ThE tRaNnIeS, and that's wearing off because everyone knows a transgirl or transboy and they're pretty normal, so... Illegal Immigrants! What do you mean nobody is scared of them? Uhhh. uhm.. .uhhh....Conservative cowards always need a villain. They have no plans, no policies, no actual processes to do anything useful. Just a list of grievances and buzzwords. And the thing that terrifies them most, is that nobody else is scared of the same things they are. But there's always a moment of panic when they realize nobody is as weak and scared as them and they have to try to identify what the next fad-fear will be.
>>97183412China again, probably.

>>97183360Look at this dumb asshole. Too stupid to even properly pretend being a DnDrone.

>>97183109>>97183346The meteor hammer.
>>97183109What sort of Monks are we talking about? Because Asian Monks could use all kinds of weapons. Meanwhile, Western Monks only used staffs because it was a good way to defend themselves without killing the person.
>>97183453Yeah, I was using BG3 rules that allows you to add your str modifier to attack and damage twice to improvised, thrown, and unarmed attacks.Pair that with Monk's unarmed bonuses, magic attacks, and such? The total attack value per hit gets pretty fucking nutty, especially when you got strength augmenting gear and potions.

>>97183222Temperature isn't as important for resin printing as it is for FDM, but the window might be a problem, since it cures with UV light.
>>97183262So should I bring it outside? I'm worried about the fumes. And there are curtains. But I still need to get the fumes out somehow.
>>97183274No, you must keep it from UV light. The only UV light that must affect your resin must be the one below the machine's vat.The printer I use is in a room with a ventilator thingy in the wall that take the gases out. We still use a mask tho.Maybe that's the reason I've never had troubles with fumes. Or maybe I'm just exaggerating and they aren't a big deal, as everyone in these threads keeps telling me.

>>97182241That makes sense. I mean I don't mind the PCs being a significant force in battle as the heroes, but I don't want it to be like they can face 1000 enemy level 1 guys and not even get hit.>>97182142Not an OSR experience, but less of the high-power optimized DPR retardation builds like PF 1e.Or even 5e. I've heard PF2e is better balanced than both.
>>97182267Oh, yeah, then the game is good for that. Even the hyper-autistic Human Fighter-fag posting, that doesn't even hold a candle to the nonsense you can get away with in 5e.>but I don't want it to be like they can face 1000 enemy level 1 guys and not even get hit.Eh, by design you will outlevel things and you add your level to your AC by default. So there will be a point where Level 1 guys can't hurt a significantly higher-level opponent. The game expects any encounter to max out on a -4/+4 Player Level range, so do be mindful if you make areas based on level ranges.But realistically this shouldn't be a problem. Just part of why 2e is a Heroic Fantasy and not Low Fantasy.
>>97182305so what level would be the maximum that the characters would want to take over another barony and need to recruit at least a few dozen men to defeat the lord's army?
>>971828817 is the earliest and notable powerspike that every class in the game hit, with 11-13 being where game's meta particularly shift and everyone is most comfortable. 12 is the level you are expected to have 16,500 Gold for the party (Pathfinder had a major economic deflation between editions if that seems low to you), so these are good expectations around when the players start buying their way out of problems while keeping up with their treasure and gear. At least in my opinion.This should give you some good degree of expectations. You can also look into the Kingmaker AP (and corresponding homebrew adjustments because the 2e Kingdom Management rules are legit untested and poorly designed) for additional resources in large-scale bastion management. You can also look into the Captain archetype for scaling humanoid companion rules, in case you want some guidelines on building officers.

yeah one of my kids likes robots so we use some battletech minis and just do a straight-line moves only thing. every mech has some armor bubbles and the number of armor bubbles also determines how many times they shoot, so a light mech gets 2 bubbles and shoots twice. hit on 5 or 6.

>>97179974"Steal Life" is a lv8 Necromancy [evil] spell from Book of Vile Darkness which only has full effect when cast on a humanoid target in a descrated/unhallowed area on the night of a full moon.For each round you concentrate, you inflict 1 point of ability drain to the victim (rotates between Str/Dex/Con) and de-age yourself by 1 week without losing any abilities. Normally your target will reach Con 0 and die before you've even drained a year's worth of life... but there's a magic bed in the Stronghold Builder's Guidebook which casts Restoration on its occupant every 3 rounds. Have your target sleep in the bed as you drain them and you can keep it from dusk to dawn without permanently harming them, easily loli-ifying yourself in a single night.
>>97180706It de-AGES you, it doesn't de-GROW you, aging and growing are two different things for most creatures. De-aging a dragon would be to its detriment for example, but a boon to an elderly human.

>>97181266would recommend solo games as well. I don't get to play much at all, partly because most poeple only play 40k and most people also are insufferable but also because I usually only have free time to play at like 10 at night. 5 parsecs from home, weasel-tech and hardwired have been fantastic. When you're playing solo, it's so much easier to get into the "narrative" of the game. I just got in a game of hardwired, which is a fairly simple cyberpunk skirmish game, and it was the most fun I've had in a while.
>>97182585I dunno what other people do, but when I play solo games, I tend to write down a report of what's happened in a turn so I can keep track. I find myself getting more descriptive as I get into it so it ends up feeling like I'm writing a story around what's happening instead of listing off moves. It's a lot of fun. I understand why text based battle reports and wargaming blogs used to be popular.
>>97179954You have Voidfighter, strictly for cinematic dogfighting with small ships. Made by the same guy who designed space and sword weirdos.
>>97181610Victrix would be perfect if it wasn't for them overloading their minis with details lately. Still, I see them as the market standard.
Why is it that so many fantasy writers make their evil cults unjoinable by anyone with a functioning brain cell? Like why would you worship Orcus, whose goal is omnicide? Why would you worship Tzeentch if he’s probably gonna screw YOU over as part of his grand plan?What makes it so bizarre to me is that, firstly, it’s not like they need to be so off-putting to be evil. Orcus is a demon of undeath, his followers want to turn their enemies into the undead. Tzeentch wants the world to be in a constant cycle of chaos, his followers are gonna be masterminding world wars.Secondly, it’s not like we don’t have plenty of examples of real-world evil cults. A lot of cults in the West don’t follow Super-Duper-Mega-Murder Satan, but are fucked-up offshoots of Christianity. Historically, goetia was practiced by people who would’ve still called themselves Christians, while committing rituals to summon and get boons from demons. Plenty of human cultures used to sacrifice humans to their gods, not to summon them to kill everyone or some shit, but to honor and/or appease them.Like to use another example from Warhammer, I think Nurgle and Khorne present more “approachable” evil cults. Nurgle is toxic positivity, and his love will take all the pain away. Khorne is wrapped up in enough language about honor to lure people in.Like to rework an evil deity, let’s pick Lamashtu. Instead of “We love ugliness and miscarriages and also you get to die in childbirth”, the cult targets vulnerable young women and lures them in with divine feminine language (“You have the power to bear and raise great beasts”), while promising the young men of monstrous races frustrated living among humans that what they’re scorned for is what makes them powerful (and also they get to have sex with pretty girls).
>>97180373Marxism came to be in response to organized capitalism.
>>97182525Even then, who would give a fuck if the peasants were trying to organize up and unionize.Local nobles might just kill them for trying. Or they hire some adventurers to go find and kill the organizers.
>>97160877Have you seen American "christianity"? Death cults suck in the weak willed like nobodies business.
>>97182606>who would give a fuck if the peasants were trying to organize up and unionize.Except they did, often.What do you think guilds were?You think nobles are just going to butcher their skilled workers?What kind of clearly American educated hands wrote this post?Shit, even the Japanese during the Sengoku had rules about killing peasants because they needed their labor.
>>97182480>It's just every one of those socialist agitator typesThose socialist agitator types are born from the idle and lazy portion of the (upper) middle class and not from the actual lower class. Without the existence of a middle class there is no one to really come up with the idea of "lets make everyone equal on (my) level so I don't need to do as much work.">>97182525Which only came to be through industrialization. Prior to that Merchants were forced to commission skilled tradesmen for finished goods or perform tasks such as transport. Industrialization changed it so that merchants (now capitalists) owned machines that produced finished goods and performed those tasks and then hired others to man those machines.>>97182649>Except they did, often.Peasant/Slave revolts happened but those were more the result of local mismanagement rather than active attempt to organize as an economic unit.>What do you think guilds were?Guilds were more a Town/City thing and were tradesmen trying to control their local industry by forming a local monopoly.

First batch printed. Saturn 4 Ultra 16k, Sunlu ABS-like in ‘solid grey’, 0.025mm layers @1.6 sec exposure. Very happy with the result. I forgot the machine armor engine and one of the quillions on the shocktrooper’s flamberge didn’t print properly but otherwise excellent.
Can't do any actual model making due to moving this week, but here are some rough mockup mini's for my "Mothers of Saint Mar-Garet" warband (Stigmatic nun (going to get a proper face), War Prophet, Castigator).They were an idea I had a while ago in these threads, but I actually started quite liking the concept, and how it fit into TC.Already built the Castigator, and a couple malformed Pilgrims.
