By that logic, rightwingers and trannies are exactly the same, since neither want the other in their spaces. This is the best case for your argument, and it still doesn't work.

Reading this was a lark. You've noticed something that more extreme 'conservatives' have been writing about for centuries. This quote comes from a confederate:
"American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. ... Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. ... What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one of the accepted principles of conservatism..."

Today, people like Nick Land and Curtis Yarvin talk about this a lot.
What you are observing is the legacy of ethnocentrism and of lost battles against the tide of 'progress', which really meant the progressive dispossession and destruction of anglo-americans, mostly through immigration. It's interesting that the target of destruction transitioned from specifically WASPs to ethnic europeans as a whole.

If a black person called himself superior and referred to you as a 'yakubian ape', what would you do? Probably laugh, because it's funny, right?

As long as people don't get their panties in a twist and get overly violent over it, calling each other slurs can be fun. It's not about 'making others feel welcome' it's about not being an insecure pearl clutching faggot.

>>97183412
If you ever actually had any male friends of different races who had slightly more emotional resilience than a wet cookie, you would have shot the shit with them with casual racism over a few beers and laughed about it.

I also frequently talk to a trans person who understands that I don't believe they are a woman, and they don't believe in my God and think religion is for retards, and they somehow magically avoid going into conniptions about how my beliefs are equal to eugenics because they're an actual functioning adult and we talk about mutual interests.

It would be significantly better if emotionally mature people like that were the majority, but instead, you have histrionic faggots who want to word police and cast people out for not affirming their personal delusions (and what is considered a delusion will be subjective, because you believe that believing in God is a delusion, and I believe that a man thinking they're a woman is a delusion). It would be as retarded as me wanting to boot people out of gaming places if they don't believe in my God, and there would be way more justification for it because literally millions of Christians have been killed for their beliefs by atheists over the past century. But, because I'm not a histrionic faggot, I don't believe that the grown adult atheists I actually talk to on a day to day basis have any actual intention of murdering me, unlike the histrionic faggots running gaming spaces who think that using their non preferred pronoun is a dog whistle for mass tranny murder, instead of just referring to basic reality as I understand it to be.

I'm doing a deep dive comparison between Cyberpunk and Shadowrun for myself. Corps in Cyberpunk 2020 don't have extraterritoriality and blatant culture and identity shifting power to get people to identify with them instead of nations correct? They can issue passports and IDs but they're also not powerful enough to fuck around and find out since national armies still outnumber them and nations have wmds and space rocks. Corp troop numbers and equipment in 2020 seem to support this.

Under that framework, I don't quite understand how the fuck the Fourth Corporate War got that bad though. Europe should have been dropping rocks.

>>97181724
Mike, Talsorian and CDPR deliberately left gaps in the lore to give players some leeway if they want to make a campaign about the corporate wars.

>>97181724
Corporations in Cyberpunk use influence, economic manipulation and blackmail to get what they want. National governments can still lay down the law if things get out of hand, assuming they have the power to do so, but they're usually being made to look the other way. That's why Medias are such a big deal: they can expose the horrible shit the corps are doing behind the scenes and force the authorities to act through making what been going on undeniable.

>I don't quite understand how the fuck the Fourth Corporate War got that bad though.
Militech and Arasaka got away with amassing small armies for themselves under the pretense of being involved in the private security/military contractor business. They also had the backing of their respective governments.

With that in mind, it's important to remember that the Fourth Corporate War didn't immediately erupt into open conflict. It was a gradual build-up of force as both sides pushed the limits of what they could get away with. Funnily enough, it was during the Hot War that world governments began cracking down.

>Europe should have been dropping rocks.
The Highriders staged a coup up in orbit and began dropping rocks themselves.

Notably, this is what happened in the Cybergeneration branch of the timeline: The Carbon Plague and corporate warfare weakened the megacorps enough that the US government was able to reassert itself.

The issue is less in them getting strong and more in the fact they're already strong. Chattel slavery works when they're all roughly the same size as you and can be coerced into obedience with whips, guns, etc. However I'd imagine it gets a little more difficult when the slaves in question are all around 8 feet tall and 600 pounds of muscle. Unless you have equally big overseers, I'm not sure how long you could keep something like a group of minotaurs obedient before they decide to snap their owner/overseer in half like a twig.

>>97183730
there probably is a market for that, yeah. You could also do a major arcana deck.

If it's your art then it depends on how marketable your art is.
If it isn't your art then you can't legally sell it.
Also home printing cards is kind of a pain. Sleeves work okay, but otherwise you need both decent materials and to cut them really precisely.

I don't think you need glowies to kill /tg/, it was just a result of normies infesting the internet and "hustle/grift culture" preying upon the previous culture of free, creative collaboration this place had. Neckbeardia and his copycats did far more damage to this board than Mossad or the CIA ever could.

Hell, I've seen it happen firsthand. I had a friend who made a thread for people to describe their favorite TRPG PCs and NPCs that held a special place in their heart abd was actually bothering to discuss and elaborate with anyone who contributed. And within 24 hours Neckbeardia had made a video about the thread that slandered all the posters as creepy waifu obsessed incels via cherry picking and bad faith commentary. He swore off the board for good after that one.

The funny thing about Dark Heresy 2 specifically is that the humble Longlas is one of the best weapons in the game outside of extremely rare, overt and difficult to acquire kit, due to how sniper weapons give you a massive bonus to hit and almost double your damage (in a system with flat DR) if you aim them and overcharge them. A bad shooter hits reasonably consistently with a longlas, and a good shooter does around a plasma shot worth of damage on each trigger pull (up to almost a melta shot against certain unnaturally tough targets).

>>97178552
>You need a player that is pretty good with the system, to simulate a character that is pretty good with a weapon
To be fair, simply reading the system is not the same as being "pretty good" with it.

Good. Low effort players don't deserve to have fun.

>>97170048

7th Sea first edition is probably the most engaging combat system I've used. It's by no means perfect but the way initiative works keeps you on your toes from start to finish - you have on average from 2 to 4 actions and each action is rolled as a die that sets initiative for it, meaning even if you have more actions or were winning for multiple rounds there is no guarantee opponent won't be able to get some licks in.
>2
For an adventuring game I'd say it should be around half an hour, unless your group is heavily into wargaming. Switching activities in 20-40 minutes chunks helps to keep people engaged. You should break this rule mostly for big set pieces or finales.
>3
7th Sea is really good on this part, since it uses Roll'N'Keep - you roll X dice and choose Y of them, giving you decent stability in rolls, but still with some variance. Having native ability to underperform, choosing lower die results, is also very much on brand for the swashbuckling genre when you need to throw the fight and see if you can make it believable.
>4
7th Sea is all about maneuvers - parries, lunges, binds, even grappling.

7th Sea is not ideal by any means, it has a tendency to fail on point 2 with newer groups, and maneuvers and swormaster schools aren't really balanced properly, but it works good enough and is really good at supporting its genre - Zorro, Three Musketeers, Captain Blood and so on. Emphasis on supporting the genre cliches mixed with robust combat system really helps to sell the battles to the players and make them engaging.

It really would have been nice to have a proper second edition that works out the kinks, and reshuffles some parts, but existing second edition is absolute shit both fluff and mechanics wise.

So, OP, I've been thinking about your questions
>What systems have you found that have made combat engaging?
For me, it's being able to bring out outside elements to push the balance in my favour. "I cast fireball on the ceiling to try and impale the monsters on the falling stalactites" "While the punk is distracted, I sneak up on him to shoot him in the head point blank"
That kind of stuff. It helps immersion and investing in the fiction and gives a feeling of tactics. And it's the kind of stuff which would be impossible anywhere else except TTRPGs.
It may seem obvious, but not every game can accommodate this. D&D is notoriously bad at this (I'm thinking 3.5 and Pathfinder, which I both played extensively. Can't say about other editions), because trying anything without the right feat is bound to fail.
For a game to have this kind of open-ended feeling, you need:
1- To be able to attempt random stuff without too high a risk of you failing to do it (it's ok if it backfire, but at least you should be able to do it)
2- Contextual elements should be able to significantly alter the odds in a fight. Fighting in mud, on an unstable terrain, being distracted (for sword fight) or being behind heavy visual cover, or very close (in a gunfight), need to bring significants modifiers, otherwise there is no point in trying to be clever.
>2.
>3.
>4.
Duration of the fight doesn't matter too much, as long as you feel like new things are happening every round. I guess that means I prefer short fights.
Binding of dice doesn't matter.
I really like Mythras' maneuvers and the ability to do additional stuff on bonus success, for obvious reasons.
