>>97364986Now this is actually the cancer that's killing the board. I mean this dismissal of other people's experiences, which is way too common on /tg/. >>97365580Well, people who work on Exalted also tend to be fans of Exalted, and lot of them do post on various forums. Back when he was a dev, Holden visited here once or twice - once or twice while namefagging, that is, he may well have been around more anonymously. It wouldn't be particularly weird if some writer occasionally visited here, but I don't think there's any of them currently do so.

>>97367078>The Haltans have 53 light implosion bows>Damn monkey you scaryThey also have a 1.5 million strong standing army with six months training and 600k in reserve fighters. Of a population of 23 million where four years military service is mandatory. And at least two Lunar guardians with a bunch of cataphracts on top.Monkeys are really damn scary.
>>97367078>>97367250They're so scary, in fact, that their feud with the Linowan must be a national hobby they allow to continue on purpose, just to make life more interesting.
>>97367271Arson is pretty bad vs people who live in trees and can't go to the ground to e.g. build firebreaks. Also, the Linowan have Dragonblood and the Realm. This whole thing is, to some extent, two big local nations both supported by foreign supernatural predators stuck in a forever war.That said, you're not wrong.

>>97367296>likely Yuuki100% yuuki.I dont think unchained getting 2 sr/1 sec (my wallet died typing this) is a bad thing since he gets a "complete" deck off the bat. Sure others needs support too but they fucking frontloaded his set of shit at the "last" liberator set all at once so gotta complete it somehow. I wont say anything to defend the mc because i hate gallant.
>>97367241So the gameplan is to digivolve into a level 5, then hopefully play the other level 6 with assembly, digivolve the other stack for free, pass turn and DNA on the next turn?

does the CIA still recruit chess players?
>>97360345Thanks anon, I was wondering if this liver move develops bad habits and whether I should get rid of it. Analysis says it's fine though.I just googled it now and realized that originally you were supposed to mate with the queen, and not just fork with the knight. I'm sure I saw it somewhere before but I've arrived at it independently, more or less. Neat.

>>97364302No, thankfully they screen for that now. None of them make it past the initial recruitment stage.

>>97341698I have several figures that were made by sculptors who forgot about gravity+time, and ended up with their thin ankles unable to support the off-center weight above them, leading to leaning.Plastic deforms and continues to deform.
>>973670171) jap figures are usually ABS/PVC, kdm and other plastic models are PS, different plastics = different physical properties, in my experience anime figures are less rigid and more flexible than plastic models2) jap figures are solid through and through which makes them heavier and experience higher forces, plastic models are usually hollow inside and therefore are lighter and are subject to smaller forces
>>97367017
>>97367087>different plastics = different physical propertiesPlastics deform by essentially developing microscopic tears. Even particularly strong plastic resins, like those used as the matrix for carbon fiber/fiber materials, still suffer from this type of deformation, significantly reducing its lifespan compared to non-plastic materials . Even though the material may be incredibly strong, both continuous stress and cycles of stress can lead to the material failing before either a wooden or metal version would, with often the only way to detect the damage before catastrophic failure being the use of ultrasound equipment.Every plastic structure that is off-balanced and with a thin support will eventually develop a lean, which will in turn make it even more off-balanced, accelerating the rate of damage. Though, depending on the design and the material, this may take years or even decades, with factors including everything from heating-cooling cycles, ambient vibrations, and UV exposure potentially accelerating the damage.Depending on how >>97341627 is balanced, that support may be under very little lateral stress at all, and survive a century before toppling. But, one thing I've noticed is that larger figures are significantly more prone to ankle fatigue (which makes sense, because though the ankle diameter may be larger, the weight it is supporting increases following the square-cube law). The good news is that Painters's Scale is still well below the size of the larger figures where ankle lean becomes almost commonplace, but the bad news is that even figures that look fairly well balanced may be undergoing quite a lot of invisible stress. Let's just hope the designers didn't spend too much time in the digital world and remembered the effect of physical forces.

I got disillusioned with tournament play after 9th, because it turned me into a monster I didn't like.
All you have to do is play something that isn’t 40k or AoS. Those games will always be filled with the worst average crowds by virtue of them being the most popular. Comp shitters love 40k and AoS. Meanwhile you could play something like MESBG or Mordheim or Bolt Action and find a group who plays wargames for the love of the game and not to win.
>>97367100>drop 40k >pick up different tabletop games >playing games is suddenly fun again it really is that simple
>>97367100ITS gw you need to drop.
Douchemachine used to be the largest competition to GW. Now look at it and laugh
>>97354640They proved to be incompetent by not retaining people during/after the covid lockdowns. Most of those new customers didn't stay very long after the lockdowns lifted, and realized the model kits were extremely expensive. However, you're not wrong about their IP having reach, because even if they're not buying kits, they're buying games and eventually other media (when/if the amazon slop comes out?). GW still makes a ton of money from licensing and potentially bringing in more people into their product ecosystem regardless of how long they stay. Battletech does have games, but I dont know how popular they are. Corvus Belli is trying to get their trash aristeia game into vidya, and they supposedly have a movie being made.
>>97330812There are options at the large army scale, but all the games that ask you to bring more than 20-30 models are mostly model agnostic rulesets that are being sold. Outside of historical minis, most of what comes to mind is fantasy rank and spanks that exist fill in for Warhammer Fantasy being dead for a decade: Mantic Kings of War and Oathmark.
>>97334752>Didn't BT get discovered by the sjw's?The biggest thing culture warriors point to for BT becoming pozzed is an unofficial fan publication.
>>97366968Not entirely true, CGL has been pushing progressive stuff for years now. Which is pretty comical when you consider that BT is a setting that is pretty amazing when it comes to everyone and everything having representation without pandering and badly written LGBTQ+ characters/plots being jammed into campaign books and novels.
>>97331077>I can't believe it actually got approved for publication.Really?
I'm trying to write a campaign and have a good idea of where I want it to go, but I'm not sure how to get started. In your current game, what was the main threat facing the party in their starting location?
>>97364443Prison they were all in got ransacked by necromancers. The necromancers got what they wanted, and left the walking cadavers as a distraction. The party broke out of their cells and fought their way through when the initial chaos settled down.
>>97364443The party got their entire equipment confiscated by corrupt city guards at the gates as their first interaction and introduction to the setting.
>>97364443Shipwreck.
>>97366834Because if you had any sense you'd pick up on the meaning. You're not writing a novel. Tell your players what you're doing then do it.
>>97364443>what was the main threat facing the party in their starting location?two unrelated ones: one was a member of a minor branch of the huge and powerful Alibakkar merchant family that got it into his head that he'd rather be a robber knight, and the other was a sea hag controlling the weather to keep Amn's navy grounded for reasons related to the BBEG's overarching plot to ruin that nation because they're the only ones with Carrack technology to get over the Trackless Sea where his fortress is.
Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere. Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency. If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help: >n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0 >Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128 >Need a starter dungeon?

>>97366337Same answer as the last six times you posted this.
>>97365331>I'm not a fan of one-stop "tower of knowledge" structures, I think they're FOEGYGVery minor point, but I have here a hadith of sound transmission indicating that Gygax (pbuh) used such a structure:>https://www.enworld.org/threads/gary-gygax-things.669413/
>>97366059>by the book the only way for them to realise that they have is by finding contradictions in their maps, for example their position with respect to a known landmark, or a hex they've already been in seeming to have a different terrain than it shouldWhile this is true in most editions, it's worth noting that it's not true in OD&D, where it's clear from context that the players immediately know when they're lost (since the getting-lost procedure specifies that they're allowed a directional deflection as per the rules of Outdoor Survival).
>>97367158I guess it's similar, but it's less a cosmopolitan wizard school/wizard mecca in that case, and instead is just one powerful, dickish wizard in a tower who will cast spells and stuff for you in exchange for an exorbitant payment in magic items.
>>97367280Oh yeah, there are definitely good and bad implementations. Hogwarts School of Identification for a Flat Fee is ass.

>>97366623OP regularly played his gimmick on the Choose Your Own Adventure general frequently enough that the entire user base got wise to his samefagging and ritual posting, especially when he went into random philosemitic tangents. This is a little bit like being outran by a fat child, no one on /cyoag/ considers it an intelligent general. His whole deal is whining whenever people aren't obeying the most autistically retarded version of Clarke's Third Law (the one about magic and tech), and whining whenever jocks are allowed to win, and whining whenever nerds aren't able to kill anybody with their minds.https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/92251865/#92255551One anon defeated him just by posting a stanford.edu link that explained the whole philosophy that he was bastardizing, and telling him to read and respond to the counterarguments against it. No response was ever given.Eventually, anons started to ironically thirstpost over him (calling him a woman) and it pissed him the shit off, eventually they also noticed that he had the technophilia, Israel obsession, resentment of jocks, and 'izzat mentality' of an Indian, and they started to call him an Indian woman too. This was also effective because he's an eugenicist and scientific racialist (it rationalizes the caste system).

The Kill-Team met a Dark Age AI last week. It was actually very personable, if traumatized from having been in hibernation for over eleven millenia after shutting down to not get subverted by what we’re pretty sure was a C’tan.
