On the spectrum of rubber forehead aliens to complete starfish aliens that are made out of silica and breathe methane, where are YOU specificially comfortable with. Does there come a point where an alien becomes too weird for you to "relate" to in order to include them in your games as playable races?Personally I am fond of aliens that look plausibly like they could have evolved in a different world and have no distinguishable lineage to earth life, even if they share some superficial features.
>>97242244Well yeah if I just wanted to fuck an exotic human I already have transhuman clades for that so the aliens need to bring in their A-game on tentacles, bizarre poses they can do and having a soft warm body to cuddle.
>>97241451The Kroot looks strangely ... compatible.
>>97240164Any sufficiently weird human civilization is indistinguishable from an alien one.On the rare occasion I wish to depict a truly alien life-form I don't give them speaking parts, because any dialog I write is informed by me being a human being with a human perspective; I literally cannot create anything that is truly alien to the human condition, because if I can experience it, then it is within the scope of human understanding.I just think there's more of interest when you take a human mind and remove it even further from it's natural context.Like a posthuman civilization composed entirely of space-faring cyborgs in non-humanoid bodies, that spend most of their eons-long lives drifting through space, eternally dreaming in low-power mode.I can imagine what it would be like to be such a being better, to get into it's "character" which is ultimately derived from humanity itself.On the other hand, if I try to narrate the internal dialog of an alien tubeworm that evolved clinging to a sea-floor smoker, I'm going to anthropomorphise it no matter what I do - humans can only think like humans."Truly alien" aliens are as such, better as inscrutable mysteries and nigh on forces of nature.If you want your aliens to be basically goofy humans in motivation and outlook, star-trek rubber forehead alien is basically visual code for just that.
>>97246364Everyone obviously has their own personal opinions, but as a general rule 1, 3, 5, Generations, and Insurrection are considered bad by the general populace, while 2, 4, 6, and First Contact are considered good.Galaxy Quest is obviously good; Nemesis is obviously bad, so inserting Galaxy Quest preserves a trend that had already been observed for decades by that point.Once you get to the Kelvinverse I think broadly speaking people will agree that the 2009 movie is a lackluster Trek film but a serviceable sci-fi action movie that did its job of getting people interested in Star Trek again.Into Darkness is 9/11 Trutherism: the Movie on top of the problems surrounding it trying to recapture the Khan magic with precisely the wrong actor cast as Khan. Benedict Cumberbatch isn't even *bad* as Khan, he just absolutely should not have been him.Star Trek Beyond is good, with the new actors all firmly settled into their roles, everyone getting a chance to shine, and on a personal note watching it literally made me a better person due to my overall relationship with Trekkies up until that point.Note that even though some of these movies are "bad", though, they can still be fun to watch. Search for Spock is great; I love Kruge as a villain. And I will die on the hill that Trek V has three good scenes, and while it's bad it is never *boring*, which is more than can be said for Trek 1 or Insurrection.Trek 1 is best described as a movie that wants very, very badly to be 2001: A Space Odyssey, without actually understanding what makes that movie a good one.

>it's another "face down cards as life total with optional possible effects when flipped and resource generation attached which also has an independent or codependent not-mana source that is guaranteed to ramp each turn and where attacks are declared by tapping" TCGIt turns out when you're trying to be MtG with the edges sanded down you tend to end up in pretty similar spots.

>no display names>no player cards >large groupHow do I keep track of the characters? It’s such a weird thing to ignore. Just throw a name and picture onto the screen like every other Channel does
>>97246919>i am unable to remember 5 (five) or 6 (six) distinct charactersdo you have retard? Also, they do show character cards from time to time.
>>97247954i've always talked about things, that's WHY we have message boards.but i get what you're saying. the worse thing is automation. stuff i used to do is just GONE now.
>>97247336>what the fuck is the pointThat game, it would seem, as opposed to "provide a chat room for lonely boys".
>>97248062its just another one of these threads. spergs react to critical role like flies to shit.
>>97248062They really named a character Tranny? Wtf
This is a second OSRG, seperate from the main osrg thread, where you CAN talk about 2e, retroclones, and any osr content you want.This is different than the regular osrg as due to rampant trolling from a handful of bad actors, discussion is impossible.PREVIOUS THREAD>>97206318
>>97247905how is night below? never heard of this before, do tell.
>>97247350>Your fun wronglol>>97247426If you don't have a lot of faithpoints and they don't regenerate on their own, they can be a great reward for completing the story, if that's the kind of play realy enjoed by players and judje. Fatepoints work even better if the consequences of falling to zero hp range from death to a scar, and with a Fatepoint you not just cancel death, but insteadjust increase the chances of becoming disabled instead of a corpse. In your case, you could probably make houserule? a simple wound system, that only worked when you spent a faithpoint. Ordinary mortals are guaranteed to die when they fall to zero, but heroes can survive this with a mutilation, gaining the opportunity, if they have too many mutilations, to end their careers by retiring, rather than going straight to the grave.
>>97245637>Also is it just me or are 2e adventure modules all linear railroads?It's not just you, every 2e adventure is dogshit.
>>97248044It's pretty great. Might be a top 10 adventure.
>>97248044The above ground section is pretty great if you change some names (like Toaster the wizard), but imo it gets real fuckin linear and boring once you get underground

>>97244905>How would you make your own porn game in general?What's the focus? For porn, the game (and by extension, the story of the game) isn't really needed. You could just release an FMV or gallery of images, and that's all the user needs to get off. MGQ has porn in it, and you can goon to that game, but I view the experience as a novelty rather than some standard to go by. If you want a game with pornographic elements in it, I think MGQ might fit into that category since there's enough mechanics and story at play to set the "game" part of the porn game apart from just porn.>What do you think of using AI tastefully With the current tech and culture, I wouldn't release a game with AI art assets. You can use them as placeholders or concept art, but by in large, most consumers want handcrafted goon material. At least for now. >Have you ever played Second Life and similar sandbox games? Sandbox? that's a wide net dude. I think I know what you mean, though, and no.>What was your experience erping compared to a normal MMO? I've not erped with anyone online since 2013 or so.

No.>Do you think a porn game should focus on the audiovisuals making you cum faster or should it be an anatomically accurate and realistic depiction of sex with accurate neurobiological interactions?Depends on what you want. Do you want porn with some game elements or a game with some pornographic elements? Figure out your focus and go from there.

How do we fix Steampunk?
>>97222026This. Peoples just don’t know it because in the woke era no one is making a game that involves colonialism and features a predominantly white society.In fact, I’m struggling to find a better example than the pic in OPs post.
>>97248704Who the fuck cares about whitoid shit anymore? Your 5% now lmfao.
>>97248704And to its credit, colonialism is a fair avenue of narrative within steampunk.>New (potentially unspoiled) land discovered>Not directly underneath the ruling authority's thumb, so lots more freedom and autonomy in this region (this is why the Wild West works)>Multiple new competing interests racing to put their stakes down and claim the land, offering multiple avenues for competition>All while dealing with locals and the exotic local culturesIt's a gold rush for new land and resources, all while meeting interesting new people from all directions, and that's reason enough for adventure.
>>97248721The main things that involve making colonialism unsavory to the modern public has to do with questions of racism and inequality. Essentially, as long as you're not racist and are catering to the needs of the locals, you might get away with being called the "good guys" in a colonialism story.

>>97248512You coulnd't be more wrong. Almost all of my miniatures have conversions on them, GW or 3d printed bits. I am just pissed because GW is just removing cool parts from their boxes to move to minmaxing profit to stratospheric levels. Which sucks a lot because we are getting mote expensive boxes with less options. But you must be happy with this. Bet you are one of the peoples here that were throwing shit at GW when the leak happened for 3rd edition, and then more than happily bought starter box, all the new shit stuff they spit out and playing 3rd happier then ever to have less options, customisations and soul. Your pointless insulting my person just cunfirms my thoughts.
>>97248639You're baiting or a fucking retard. GW almost never includes more torsos or legs in their kits than extrictly necessary to build units. In fact, they almost always are designed to push people to buy 2 or more to get all the options. Classic example: the old Devastators kits.
>>97248648I am not neither. You should be just a little bit confused. Cataphractii termies had 6 torsos for 5 dudes, same for Tartaros. Mk3 marines had crest for the head, mk4 had one more torso, helmet with crest and tabard. Those four boxes are ten times better than any shit that GW published for 2nd edition onwards. Instead of going i that way now we got 5 identical poses for all the marks, less options and shit new Cataphractii box. Just look at your bits box... Oh wait, there is NONE because you do not gaty any additional bits anymore. Well, glad you are happy, for sure it's better to be happy than to be sour.
>>97247864>But Custodians and Primarchs fucking 12 feet tall? Actually ridiculous.I always thought Custodes were around 9' tall, and Primarchs hovered around 10'>>97247871The bigger somthing gets, the less impressive increases in size gets. 8' is big enough that it feels scarily big to even people who are 6'4"

>>97248333in my country, it has been atypically warm this December
>>97248513Same here in the PNW. My wife and I drove to the famous "Christmas town" in our state last week, that requires passing over three mountain passes for us to get to it. Not a flake of snow anywhere, in a y of the passes. I've never seen that happen once in my entire life.
>>97211865how would a rogue prevent a monster from attacking a caster?

>>97243882So you can't answer the question?
>>97243940Can't force an enemy to attack you.
>>97243949Yes, games are defined by their rules.
I haven't played dnd in 12 years and the last thing I played was 3.5But here's some answeres for you fucking kids without imagination, i don't care if it fits the rules or not in your edition of choice:>stand between the monster and the wizard>run and tackle the monter>run and tackle the wizard out of the way, grabbing him (bit gay but you would use your body as a shield)>run and tackle the wizard out of the way, pushing only>spread your bag of caltrops between the monster and the wizard>spend your smokebomb between the monster and the wizard>move in an intersecting, but not crossing, the path of the monster, as to generate a threat of AoO>use the AoO
