I still think this book was the best way to manage martials. 4e's "daily" powers etc for fighters made them all feel samey (at least on the surface). 5e's battle master has no scaling.I'm sure at this point we can all agree the Tome of Battle got too much flak.
>>97097426That isn't weird at all.
>>970926814e was literally just taking TOM:Bo9S to its logical conclusion.Most of its systems are IN tome of battle, just not so prolifically.>>97096588>Like sorcerers gradually transforming into a dragon as they run out of spells, shifting from blaster to bruiser over the course of the day.that was 5e playtest iirc.>>97097426that's on players for never dipping wizard 1 on their fighters. No D&D character should ever be a total non-caster, only not primarily a caster.
>>97097510i mean, i keep seeing people post P&P stat sheets to unrelated questions, so maybe he's onto something?When did the game even come out, i'd literally never heard of it until like two months ago.Even their book covers just look like knockoff Mutants and Masterminds.Is it actually worth playing and has players, or is this just all a weird astroturf marketing campaign?
>>97097699what questions?
>>97093251Nah I got that, it was their damage tanking mechanic where they put all the incoming damage in a pool. Except iirc the pool ended up being way more deadly than just taking the damage because you could get double-tapped by damage from the current turn and damage from your pool. And then iirc they also got a boost to their damage output based on how much damage they had taken in the pool, so you're perversely encouraged to make that double-tap as deadly as possible.
Lets have a thread on big weapons. Any systems where this is possible? Do you prefer a "realistic" approach or do you prefer anime shenanigans? Are PCs even allowed to use large weapons on foot, for that matter?
Why would anyone use ludicrously sized swords if not going for an anime/jrpg feel? I mean, I can't think of any in western fantasy. The most is perhaps Warcraft's war hammers, but I bet it's more of a case of not doing math than wanting REALLY big weapons.
>>97097497because it's cool you lame faggot
>>97097497>>97097219Western Europeans thought huge swords were cool enough to spend shitloads of money having them built.
>>97097497It's a practical weapon for anyone who's abnormally strong, and anime/jrpg heroes often have higher stats than western fantasy heroes.
>>97097497In a horror campaign, it could accentuate the feel of being powerless against an inhumanly strong killer

You have been installed as a Planetary Governor of your very own world in the 40k universe. What laws do you pass?
>>97085811good point about the tits, loads of societies have warrior castes and artisans that aren't admech. even planets that can make their own baneblades without being a forgeworld.That means if necromunda can make their frankenstein forge giant gangers, a dedicated and clever governor can make their world a large breasted paradise, easily at least have the palace populated with large breasted servants of all types.

How petty and cruel are the gods in your games?
>>97095231We can absolutely discriminate. Some races aren’t nearly as productive or as capable as other races in areas. That’s just how it is. If you’re a Jew you’re going to be better at abstracts and maths.
>>96950726The reigning Goddess of Healing, Medicine and all things adjacent killed three separate people who discovered separately discovered sterilization, before she just decided to instead ride the wave and granted this secret to her followers.She on occasion curses medical instruments sterilized without her blessing with mild disease.
>>97065141That's like asking a Greek pagan why he wouldn't stand on top of a mountain in a rainstorm in copper armor and scream "Zeus takes it up the ass" as loud as he can. If you're a Jew, particularly a Jew from ground zero of the must ruthless smiting God has ever laid down on the Jews to that point, it's sort of on you to know not to flagrantly violate divine law.

If you were taking bets, when do we officially hit peak oversaturation in the TCG market? When does the bubble finally pop again?
>>97097596>peak oversaturationI feel like 2025 is it, man. I don't know where we go from here, but the forecast and reading the tea leaves right now says all classes of collectibles are declining. The pop comes when the illusion is shattered that all this cardboard isn't actually worth what collectors are saying it is. However, as time goes on, things get rarer and rarer, and by sheer fact of not that many sealed boxes of Ex Yi Zed existing on this planet, it makes some of these card games valuable as a piece of card history. Not everything gets to be equally cherished and respected though, so you'll have your flat 'who cares?' belly flop titles and then you goated innovators that left their indelible mark on the hobby.

>remaking chaos warriorsReally? Not any of the other kits far older than the SoC warriors? Helf infantry, fucking skeletons?
>>97094585>Alt-right>>>/reddit/>>>/bluesky/is that way you dumb fucking faggot retard fucking dipshit. which faggot E-celeb or gay nig subreddit gave you that opinionor nice bait if your baiting idk and i dont care
>>97096137There will be new chaos warriors, why are you being a salty bitch about it?Hopefully we get a new cavalry and infantry refresh for other armies like TK and Brets, both need it pretty badly.
I wonder if they'll do a proper chaos MTO run alongside the new warriors. The second hand market price for some of the metal chaos champions and sorcerers is so crazy high that buying from GW might end up being cheaper.
>>97094668>they've said multiple times they aspire to be the biggest sloptube cretins humanly possibleVomit-inducing behavior.

are there any D&D novel series that track the main character from 0 to hero?I've ready half way through Gord's novel cycle, looking for some more.
>>97096481You'd honestly have better luck looking for one of those LitRPG novels instead.
>>97096185>likely not omniscient I've heard that they are but they pretend that they aren't so that nobody expects them to work very hard.
Never really bothered to download and read any of the FAQ before but there are some nice gems of wisdom in here.
>>97097695Unfortunately, There's also a lot of complete bullshit. It doesn't help that it often said the exact opposite of customer service on any given question.
I want to talk about these little lizards. My current game has one running a thieves' guild, who the players have nervously interacted with time and time again.
>>96916401in my settings and character concepts i've started leaning to the idea of making Dragonborn culturally German/Germanic
>>97084051>They are distinctive yes but they look a bit silly.I can't stand the heads. Or the general neck-less-ness.
>>96906495in germany they still use their word “Kobold” for “goblin in ttrpgs,”; they typically use the invented tweaked-word “Kobolt” for the modern DnD lil’ draconian mobs. I found this out when playing in Stuttgartsome games also write them as Drachenkobold (dragon-goblin) Schuppenkobold (scale-goblin) Minidrache (mini-drake) or Klein-Drache (i think the best translation would be Dragonling?)
>>97095855>DrachenkoboldI don't speak German, but I think this one's my favorite out of the terms you listed.
>>97095855>Kobolt>changes the voicing of the consonant I guess it would be like english speakers calling kobolds "Koblins" or or "Goplins"
I am solodeving a tabletop roleplaying game with a unique and novel system... yada yada.Alright, let me get to my question. Pic related is the current state of my rulebook. As you can see, there are no images in it. I am too poor to hire artists. Is it worth using AI art? or should I keep it blank and try to improve the formatting of the book content itself?>nb4 just crowdfund it bro
>>97079123Recruit an artist with a contract that includes profit sharing and a guarantee that they have all ongoing work on the setting because they are helping you define the style of that world. Don't be exploitative, try to have something that you can provide immediately that isn't money.
>>97094961>try to have something that you can provide immediately that isn't moneyGet an artist gf op so that you can provide your dick.
>>97095274>get an artist gf op so that you can provide your dickWorst possible advice but funny. You want to incentivize an artist, not scare her off.
>>97093824>that drawing is more than passable for a rulebook.why would you lie to OP like that
>>97096934In terms of rulebook art, it's better than average. Which means, yes OP it looks like shit, but less like shit than the other shit I normally see.
