Wizards believes that players are solving the formats too fast and this has a detrimental effect on enjoyment. This is why they cut tournament results from MTGO I don't remember the story well enough to describe it but it happened.

That being said, the players are fucking idiots. Nobody actually plays a tournament format enough to get bored. They are only saying they are bored because their favorite streamer said so - and they are bored because they play every fucking thing to death. Players say they hate playing solved formats - those retards just want to take their dog tribal deck to FNM and have a chance and it is a convenient scapegoat to blame "boredom" with a format when they've never played a good deck in their lives regardless of how solved the format is.

My community has like 200+ players. I'd say 20 regulars for FNM and 60+ for prereleases. In all that fucking time since that time I've met ONE person who played Eldrazi Winter, ONE person who played Affinity, and ONE person currently plays Vivi. All those people bitching about the state of competitive Magic don't play competitive Magic - it's that fucking simple. Wizards is just fucking competitive players to appease a stupid majority, which is consistent with fucking competitive players in every way imaginable.

Probably as much Banality as the average person. You forget, the Imbued for all intents and purposes are supposed to be considered "normal" people. In the HtR: Urban Legends sourcebook, a bunch of Imbued got bodied by a single Unseelie Satyr, so it's not like they can weaponize Banality anyway.

A bit of a logistical question about the the Camarilla structure (pre V5), just to know if I haven't written myself into a corner with my new campaign.
Can a Kindred hold multiple positions at court? Can for instance the Tremere vampire be both a Prince and a Regent of the Chantry? Or is it too much of a powergrab? Granted, who is going to tell the Tremere no, but how does that work officially?

>Mainly in that it communicates to your players what their characters are seeing and what the enemies are capable of
Yes of course. But I just don't think it has to be a specific match, especially given that monsters might have modifiers that change up things. IMO, 1d4+1 and 1d6 are interchangeable if for the sake of simplicity

Also, the game don't really account for trashy weapons (afaik). That is - maybe a goblin using a *proper* scimiter would do 1d6 damage, but that's different than using an old, poorly fabricated rusty one

My point being is that I grew up not expecting exact numbers from mobs that the DM threw at us - sure, it should match to some degree so that you can act accordingly, but it didn't have to be precise down to the minimum details

>>96802479
>though arguably 2014 will be simpler on the player side
Probably keeping it as 2014 then, especially because I might be more familiar with it as well

>trying to walk new players through character creation often just ends up overwhelming them
Yeah, it's rubbish. I've been down that road (it was even worse on previous editions). Also, one thing I hate about dnd is how you can't really choose your stats - you must assign it based on class, otherwise your character will be rubbish. There is little option for real choices there, and it's the perfect way for new players to mess up their characters

Also, rate this idea for the group's 1st adventure:

Instead of choosing the adventure itself, players may meta-gamey choose their quest giver. All options will give the same 1st adventure, but their motivations might differ, and what comes next might entirely change. It also changes perks for the party

The quest itself is to clear a path through an old cave system

Quest givers are:

1. Local nobleman
>wants his territory to have a faster connection with a neighboring kingdom
>might be using this to forge an alliance of sorts?
>having him as their patron/quest giver grants them a more official role, as they are acting in the behalf of the nobleman's house (this can be used for RP purposes)

2. Merchant

>Also, the game don't really account for trashy weapons (afaik).
It doesn't, but 5e handles weapons in a very simplified manner. To the extent that improvised weapons just use the stats of a weapon as long as the DM rules that it's similar enough.
An old, rusty, crude scimitar still technically functions as a scimitar. The main difference is that the town blacksmith probably isn't going to buy rusty goblin scimitars off of you for the price of a normal one.

It's one of those quirks of the system, where 5e ditches granularity in exchange for simplicity. Instead of worrying about if a sword is copper or rusty or masterwork, you just worry about what type of sword it is.
You are correct that the players aren't likely to notice that the goblins with trashy weapons are dealing slightly less damage, but at the same time they also aren't likely to question why the goblins all have daggers instead of scimitars.

Truth. In addition to being more MAD than the Bladesinger, War Magic is just fucking pathetic. Eldritch Knight should be able to replace one attack with a spell of any level at least once per turn. Trading four attacks, or three attacks and a bonus action, for a spell that is only a measly 1/3rd the level of what the full casters can pump out, is almost never worth it.

Here's the thing: I LOVE that kind of creativity and engagement from my players.
I definitely don’t want to shoot those ideas down, but giving them a small rules framework can go a long way toward keeping things balanced and genre-consistent.

Are there any systems I could borrow ideas from, to handle this sort of thing? Has anyone here tried house-ruling stuff like that?

>>96797043
It depends on what you want more:
- Easy mechanical representation of gadgets
OR
-A proper crafting system with all the bells and whistles

For the first one Mutants & Masterminds has extremely robust effects system. You'd need to prohibit indestructible materials and so on, so that players need to work with what they have, but otherwise it would be easy to slot it in. Though the invention system itself is just a couple skill checks.

The second part would be way harder. The closest, while also actually a decent system, would probably be something like Ars Magica with its magical research and spell creation system. You could probably adapt it for steam/clock punk setting gadget creation, but it would be a decent amount of work.

>>96803131
Indestructible items are fine in M&M where you have 99 ways to work around them. Since it's a supers game. It's way less fine when you make indestructible power armor or airship in a setting where you are more limited in your approaches of dealing with it.

Plus crazy inventors breaking each other's toys is big part of the fun.

I feel like any game can be low or high IQ depending on which rules you use and how much effort you put in.

Like even the most obscure conflict played with bits of paper with the units name written on them, using a system of "Roll a D6, on a 4+ your unit dies" would be low IQ.

WW2 for example, you could be playing the latest edition of FoW with parking lots on the western front in 1944, or you could be playing some esoteric ASL game set in Madagascar where the British are assaulting the Vichy French and it's a map campaign with some light logistics thrown in and double blind with a referee.

1858 is the definitive end of the Malcolmites, their crushing defeat at Greenrock. I remember someone saying that we should push Malcolm's origins back to Crimea, but that conflicts a bit with the idea of him fighting in India for the British. It does scrunch down his time in the sun a bit, but I think that's fine. The Malcolmite rising can be a short flare up.
There was some discussion that there should have been an existing Scottish movement that Malcolm became the leader of, I think we can safely put its origins some time around Crimea.

As we move forward toward Doggerland (intro doc later on today) I will be rushing some much needed updates to the participant books, as well as the main Rulebook.
Here is what I'd like to modify for France. The Envoy Hero traits may be undercosted, a bit, but its not on a survivable model anyways, and it has an LP cost.
Upon rereading it the Belt-fed mod could use an additional -1 Acc to Long or something to balance it out.
Added Terror to Enfant Perdu because otherwise sacrificing models for it won't ever be something you'll want to do. Still harsh, but at least its something. Maybe add Critical Instability or something so that shooting it may blow it up?
The Cannoniere is just a floating artillery piece, the missing one for the French book. Garnier will very much appreciate its inclusion. Its pretty bland as far as big units goes but I figure it'll become a modded monstrosity every game it's fielded.
If there is no huge outcry over this I'll be uploading the book tomorrow.

Don't get a Mars printer, it'll be too small and you will come to resent printing on it
Get a Saturn, the 3U is a good choice depending on how much you save
The 4U is nicer but it doesn't actually offer anything you need over the 3U
If buying the 3U saves you a bit of money which you can invest into a grow tent, DIY wash and cure, brew belt for heating, exhaust fan, respirator and more resin then it's worth it
If it's not really that much more then maybe not the best buy
You will need to learn to replace the FEP though because the 3U comes with ACF which sucks, but then you will need to learn to replace it anyway
Get Sunlu ABS-Like Resin, dark gray preferably
Good luck

I own this (previously had a Mars 3) and I've tremendous success with it and not a lot of headaches.

One problem I have had that I don't think I really have the correct solution for is with the spring "auto-leveling" I've had mid/large prints not adhere to the build-plate super well. The best solution I could find was to increase the bottom layers to 10 and the bottom layer exposure time to 30 seconds. This is definitely incorrect and leads to a little warping with super precise prints, but I never have anything fail due to adhesion anymore.

2nd this 100%. It's night and day compared to shitty brands like Elegoo. I drop minis with fine details like swords and spears all the time and they're perfectly fine, while with Elegoo they'd explode.

vat heaters are cheap. i live in vermont and print in my basement year round. i don't even use a vat heater, if it's cold i just hit the resin in the vat with my heat gun and have a ceramic standing heater next to my print tent to keep the temperature up

So the Saturn 4U/3U is the move? Currently just waiting for their black friday sale to drop soon to see the prices.
I dont mind dropping an extra 100 on the difference between the 3 and 4 as long as it causes less headches.
Planning on getting a good bunch of the extra shit too and since I live in the cold shithole north a brew belt sounds like a really good idea.
I was just going to get their standard resin so the recommendation for the sunlu stuff helps.
Thanks anons

Do you like him? Hate him? Why? I noticed some general animosity against him on this website, but I can't imagine his content being offensive to anyone. Maybe he's "reddit" or "woke" or something, I don't know, but I listen to his deas.

Why shouldn't you have an airship in every game?

>Jeez is he really that old? I guess that's why he's so weird looking, he's obviously trying to look younger and not quite pulling it off.
lol, yeah he is (I mean maybe 59 but something like that). But check this out. With public databases EVERYONE who's not an illegal but has a credit rating, earned a W-2, rented an apartment, etc has their age out there in public. I'm positive I could find it quickly but I not care enough to even spend a couple of minutes. If someone knows the city he lives in, it'd be particularly easy.

no, retard. The idea is that you should see it as
>I'm allowed to skip some cool stuff this time
instead of
>I'm allowed to have some cool stuff this time
Don't save the things you like for games you'll never end up having.

Hello /tg/ once as a one shot I made a very rudimentary and barebones system for a one shot where the players were a tank crew piloting a single tank against multiple enemies, it went something along these lines

>Hexagon map
>Tank base and turret are independent tokens, each with a turning stat (How much they can turn around during a turn)
>To turn the tank or the turret simply rotate the unit to one of the edges of the hexagon
>Fire with a 1d20 + your shoot stat

>Players are divided into 4 jobs: driver, gunner, loader, Commander
>Driver moves the tank obviously, gunner controls the turret. Loader loads specialty rounds aside from just being on reloading duty (Smoke rounds, AP rounds, etc.) and commander has 2 units of infantry they command over the map to assist

That was all I had for it since it was a one-shot. HP was based on Lancer rules so a tank had 4 levels of structure, when the HP of the tank depleted one structure was spent and complications in the tank would arrive that one of the players had to exit to fix. in the end the session wasn't that bad for a first try at a completely homebrew thing. which leads to my question

How would you run a game where your players are all part of a singular tank crew? or perhaps vehicle crew or the like? I've tried to look for systems that replicate the feel of total coordination in a cramped tank and found nothing, it's either too rules lite and narrativistic about it. or the scale is simply too large to translate to a cramped tank (Stars without number/Starfinder)

I almost want to get a teaching cred just so I can run that for a high school history group.

I know the Battletech RPG has rules for playing a tank crewman instead of a Mech pilot, but I dunno if you have one tank for the entire party. The way it handles crew sizes and roles has always been kinda fucked. The designers never put much thought into it beyond paying for multiple crew members being a tax in campaign play to balance out how much cheaper they otherwise are compared to mechs.
