Back in AD&D there could be only a single high level Druid. Nobody else could advance until the one holding the title passed away.These weird tidbits of lore reflected in rules are like fragments of a soul that nu-D&D is missing.
>>96689917I do think it might go too far though. Players should inherently want to do the things they made their characters good at, because generally people want to be competent. If a player made a rogue that doesn't want to be sneaky or deal with security, rather than depriving them of experience, I'd ask if they're sure they want to be a rogue.
>>96667414could be worse, could be futanari aasimar warlock
>>96668530Everything is D&D. It happens to have a vast amount of flavors.
>>96679721Not the guy you were talking to but I'm going to rape you cause you sound like an obnoxious twat who no one would want to play with.
if you want wacky rules you want the first printing of hackmaster.
What's the most self-indulgent thing you've added to your world?I love world building, I've done various settings that are all wildly different from each other. The only thing they all have in common is that my Phobia doesn't exist there. It makes me happy to imagine a world where what I fear the most doesn't exist.
>>96598317It'd probably have to be that I added what is effectively the unholy spawn between YuGiOh and Adventure Time's Card Wars to my world as an in universe card game.Though I could probably think of a few others
>>96598317Everyone has access to powers/magic. No muggles.
>>96598317Colonization. Not the libtard way or the coomer fetish way. An Empire that rules over conquered people. How much does it respect those people? How much do the conquered respect the Empire? Have Imperials gone native and embraced the conquered peoples culture, art, or lifestyles? How 'Imperialized' have the natives become? Has intermarriage created hybrid peoples? I could go on and on. A giant continent spanning Empire also allows for me to have familiar elements in all my games.
>>96599589just embrace the fuckery and make it convoluted and confusing as fuck no one has to understand it.
Arcane spellcasters are utterly detestable people 95% of the time. Typically this also involves them being persecuted and oppressed, and rightfully so. If a player wants to play one, they are warned ahead of time that they will both have to keep their abilities secret and also be prepared to deal with persecution.The reason why arcanists are so hated varies from setting to setting but in my most recent one, all magic is based on manipulating the "bonds" between things. Psionics are based upon your own bonds, basically power of friendship magic, Primal magic is based upon natural bonds, like the connection between fire and wood or water and air, Divine magic is based upon collective faith, and Arcane magic is based on subverting and corrupting the bonds between others.
I think Trazyn's irreverent, Deadpool-esque personality works perfectly in the context of what he is. People hate him for being immersion-breaking and fucking up the tone of the setting, but given that as one of the few high-level Necrons who's still more or less in complete possession of all his faculties, he's so powerful he can actually afford not to take things seriously. Him and the Orks both work as comic relief from different angles. The orks because they're so absurdly violent that they're perfectly adapted to a hostile universe, Trazyn because he's so absurdly powerful that the universe is profoundly inadequate to him.
Lore doesn't really matter in the whole female Space Marines/Custodes debate. What is really important is that the Imperium's elite troops being sex-segregated religious orders helps to reinforce the theocratic fuedalism of the faction. Fem-marines are not bad because they fuck with the lore, they are bad because they fuck with the entire identity of the setting's primary faction.
>>96683091>. As far back as Damocles the Imperium committed 5 companies of Space Marines and multiple Titan Legions,The only notable thing about that is the presence of the titans. You don't normally see multiple legions running with an otherwise small crusade.
>>96688590Can you name a major engagement that humans and necrons have one that didn't require overhwhelming losses on the human side in order to win?
>>96694688What really matters is curbing the infinite entitlement of real-world feminists, who desperately need to be taken down about a hundred pegs.
>>96694716There's roughly one Space Marine for every planet in the Imperium and single Space Marines are noted to be capable of quelling entire rebellions by themselves. If 500 Space Marines are being sent in any conflict, it's a sign things are fairly major. And the Titan Legions reinforce that.
SHEEEEEIT

It's finally here!>what is curseborne?Curseborne is the newest Onyx Path Publishing TTRPG on dark urban fantasy genre. It's about being unapologetic monsters in a world where being monstrous is the least of your worries. In Curseborne, you play as Accursed, descendants of monstrous Lineages lurking in a modern world that closely resembles our own. You rebel against the ancient feuds between these entwined families, as well as against the web of curses that bind you, while fending off inhuman antagonistsseeking to claim — or reclaim — your power.>early access download (it's a zip, and the folder is in alphabetical order so go search for it)gofile <dot> io/d/O6yTIy>official websitehttps://www.curseborne.com/>OPP forumhttps://forum.theonyxpath.com/forum/main-category/curseborne>Thread QuestionNow that it's finaly released for early access, what's your opinion?
>>96694677it's requiem 1e confused writing/tone/identity with slightly better mechanics
>>96694811hidden
>>96694778It's probably not you but I don't think it's too bad on that front. A lot of the book is in-character (which I don't love) so there are different characters talking so there isn't a single voice but I think they're playing towards a lot of the same themes. >>96694811Neither. There isn't a masquerade and the supernatural is more out in the open but it's not a fully accepted fact of life where everyone gets along. There is a cultural shift towards belief in the supernatural, and people tend to be much more superstitious, but it's not absolute and there are plenty of things that do not want you to know they're there. There might be an openly practicing witch and she might offer her services, and her customers might think she's supernatural, and people aren't likely to to call you insane for believing it, but not everyone is going to immediately go "ah, yes, witches are real". I think it's hitting a good balance between hidden dark corners without everything being a secret society, and also having enough difference from our world without feeling like it's a full on fantasy world.
>>96694982Honestly, it feels completely toothless and out of shape. The art doesn't help.
>>96695298I think most of it is pretty good. I don't love some of the photobashed stuff but most of it isn't so I can't complain too much. How do you mean "toothless" though?

>>96644454What happened to the blue girl?>>96644491I loathe my glacial reading pace, does anyone have tips for increasing speed while also maintaining comprehension? I find when I turn off the internal narration in my brain I'm not actually reading.
>>96688538Savor. Just keep reading. Look up words when you don't know them. You will get more developed in your ability to comprehend as you go. Don't rely on speed reading techniques.
>>96644491I visited the library often this year while unemployed. but I'm about to be shackled again so that gets harder to do. I have three bookshelves I share, latest find is Welcome to the Monkey House. I'm currently reading All Quiet on the Western Front, The Crystal Shard, and last book I bought for full price was Monalisa Overdrive since it's impossible to borrow, looking forward to starting that next once one or both of the current ones are done. I have a hard time chewing on only one story at a time.
>>96688538>does anyone have tips for increasing speed while also maintaining comprehension?Well, if anyone ever invents time travel you could go back a couple of decades and make yourself read more as a small child. That's definitely crucial. Although I suppose if time travel existed you would already have done that and we wouldn't be having this conversation.Honestly, like so many skills the key is just repetition. Don't overthink it, don't confuse things with fancy techniques. Just find things you enjoy reading and let yourself pick it up naturally by just immersing yourself in it.That said, if you have undiagnosed dyslexia or something like that, there are specialised fonts that can help. It also sometimes helps to get your eyes tested; if your vision is a little off it might be forcing your brain to do a bit of extra processing to work out what the words say. It's quite easy to have vision that's good enough to get by in day to day life but could still be improved with glasses. (likewise, if you already have glasses your proscription might be a little off). I mean, it's probably not that, but it's worth checking. >>96689346All Quiet On The Western Front is one of those books I've always meant to read but never got around to. Is it any good?

>>96694051This ain't it, chief.
>>96694051I like the page overall, but the princess' artstyle looks off compared to everything else. Does not really look much like her V3 version. I think it needs another pass.The bottomless Dream Loafer is nice, Ram Knight is cool, and the Musimon is cute.

>>96688113I finally got it.Gilgamesh
>>96695109Cid
>>96695167That's a recurring character, not one that canonically travels between the different FF worlds.
>>96695359Is there a canonical point of origin/timeline for Gilgamesh's travels?
>>96695404He's from FF5, and is caught in a dimensional portal at the end. I think his next appearance is FF8, where he gets Odin's sword, but he seems to have already traveled a bit after that. No idea on any strict timeline.
How do you come up with fantasy names for elves and dwarves and the like?
>>96694198>>96694300>>96694631>>96694659>>96694764kill yourself bumpfag
>>96639621I make them up
>>96639621East Asian elves, Mesopotamian dwarves, Germanic beastfolk, Mediterranean humans, South Asian planetouched or setting-equivalent
>>96695391Oh, and Celtic orcs
>>96639621For Dwarves I just try to make Tolkien sounding names. Thoroun, Snoli, Thuriz, Nilni, Thanuz, Fundig, Boriz, etc. Then I give them a patronymic surname, ban (son of), bar (daughter of), or fro (wife of) something or other. So you could have Thoroun ban Thanuz, and his wife might be Umili fro Thoroun. And they might add their clan name to that. And this full name would be their secret name only fellow dwarves know, and other races would know only their first name and a nickname. So Thoroun might be Thoroun ban Thanuz Nainazar to dwarves, but Thoroun Steeltoe to humans

>>96695249It is one reason for why the Solaroids aren't good splat foils to Solars.The writers are writing the splats as characters instead of classes or castes; which may explain Exigents.Abyssals whitewash their future.While Infernals whitewash the past.And 3e!Infernals replace them as "good guys with bad reputation".
>>96695287>They need to lean harder into being theoir own distinct things.Why?They are all Solars.They reflect each other:>The passinate hero>The nihilist hero>The fallen hero
>>96695345I just feel that Solars are easily able to be all three and the Abyssals and Infernals should lean harder into being more of Death and of Hell instead.
>>96695345Not really, it was vanilla Solars who committed those atrocities during the first age.
>>96695369Yeah they all have different powers accentuating their themes Abyssals having powers that bring death to all they don't grow things they destroy.While Infernals likewise corrupt creation.>>96695380They did just like how Solars also murder.So Abyssals and Infernals are exaggerated caricatures of those extremes.
Summon the clans, inform the guilds, and pop the casks, it's dwarf time.
>>96677432I'm still curious about the answer to this, if anyone has one.
>>96690673Dwarves don't natively smoke a pipe, that's an imported surface dweller thing.They do smoke certain minerals though. Cracked-rock that make them obsessive and compulsive, usually channeled into an artisanal pursuit for weeks at a time, locked away in their workshop, refusing to eat or bathe or comb their beards.

Any suggestions for a Dark Masters decklist?
>>96694932I don't play mastemon but I don't think its very noob friendly.Its very stall oriented and has a lot of moving parts and combo pieces. Try something that is less combo reliant, you won't get overwhelmed and you'd be interacting with the game more.
>>96695320I picked mastemon purely because there's a large volume of big juicy titties. Is there a more noob friendly mammary centered deck?
