>>97368871Not a balalaika if you want to be "historically accurate". Dombra / Dumbura would be the Tatar predecessor. Gusli is a Slavic harp, "The Piano" of the time: loved by both peasants and nobility, very fairytale vibe. Gudal if you want a Slavic lute and be pestered by the clergy as "diabolical". Kobyz if you want to be more mystical nomad. Kurai for flute if a commoner or Nay if high class. Jew Harp is you want to play the criminal and the outcast. Kuvikly (Panpipes) used exclusively by women. Kyl-Kubyz

Alright lads, I dug up my 3.0 Psionics Handbook from a box in my parents' loft and now I'm curiousHow bad/unbalanced/shit is 3.0 psionics compared to 3.5? I know I played with it back in the olde days, but I'm not 14 any more and I can't remember the details.The psionic attack/defense mode thing looks neat as a way to make psionics "different" but it feels like different for different's sake, especially the "attacker sets DC by rolling a d20 and defender makes a save", there are fuck all other places in D&D that have both attacker AND defender roll like that.
>>97370425The attack and defense modes are clunky, and the powers are just carbon copies of spells. The auto-scaling nature of augments doesn't exist yet, just some formally acknowledged "power chains" that aren't actually directly spelled out in the book (only the webpages). Honestly, even the XPH didn't really figure augments in fully, and it leads to some legacy issues because of it (Greater Teleport should really just be a Teleport augment and not a distinct power, for example). Because of the lazy rebranding of psionics at this point, it's just wizard but annoying and shitty, with bizarre rules that nobody likes such as each discipline having a different casting stat. Some people like to discuss the persistent power feat, but I see very little other reference to it, not counting the webpage content (sardior et al).

>>97370274That's similar to how birds work. They've got special air sacs that first gather air, then force it through hyper-efficient lungs, and then into a second air sac which can push it back through if needed. It's also apparently possible for birds to breathe through broken bones like snorkels.

Which 40K character's death has affected you the most?
>>97368702Konrad Curze because he was literally me
>>97369248Real
Daily reminder the anti-GW raid discord is hard at work trying to make people hate 40k. They're now trying to convince people that the 40k or HH lore isn't good, thematic, or deep. They'll conveniently ignore the fact that 40k isn't popular for its gameplay, it's popular for its lore and setting. GW has literally dominated table top gaming and is a household name of nerd culture PURELY because of its lore and stories. But ok. Sure. Let's pretend it's bad because discord raiders said so. Uh huh. This is the same group of twats that spam the anti-tournament terrain threads as well
>>97370266I still don't understand how the hell these discord raiders are supposed to accomplish anything by just... sounding like the average GW customer.
>>97370796The truth is >>97370266 is from the discord raider misinformation raiding discord that's funded by GW itself. Their whole mission is to convince everyone that 40K is a matter of GRAVE CULTURAL IMPORTANCE that's UNDER ATTACK BY THE LEFT and that you have to give GW money NOW to own the libchuds!

>>97370326Orc Boyz can get 4+ armor, so they do tank better than Gors by a lot. They will benefit from being 7 wide though cause they can fight back decently. Technically Gors fight back basically the same, but if they get charged too many if them die to make it viable. Gors with double weapon are better at both charging and being charged simply cause they get the more attacks and an almost guaranteed reroll 1s to hit. Boyz would get giga wrecked being double weapon on defense.

dead before bump limit edition▶What is Kingdom Death?Kingdom Death is a tabletop miniature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.Prologue Narration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLc8dHv0AcThe Game is broken up into 3 phases:1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97368322Rather than compliment you on your ability to type coherent, albeit criminally stupid, sentences while suffering from oxygen deprivation from choking yourself on cock, I am instead going to attempt to engage in a good faith argument with you. This is going to be a waste of my time since I clearly talking to a professional at fellatio, and clearly I need some lessons. Harvester:This event cannot be rerolled or avoided in any way.~flavor text~ All survivors gain 1 random disorder and must spend 1 survival or be devoured whole. If any survivor has noisy gear, the Harvester is drawn to the sound and they are instantly devoured. Nothing can save them. ~flavor text & no death principle~So, this event is the only event in the game that has no ability to be avoided through re-rolls and has "Kill a survivor if they *specific type of gear*". There is no other base hunt event with text that expressly reads this way. All other kill events (Feet, 63) have some other stipulations associated with them. For event 63, the kill only occurs if all survivors on the hunt are insane, and if you are *not* playing SotF. In terms of punishment, I would say that this drastically out of line and is a massive outlier in terms of design and balance.Noisy Gear Core Only:- Whisker Harp: 50/50 discard a mood is pretty dang good, but arguably more productive stuff to do- Drums: encourage everyone and 1ins on arrival is fineHow are either of these two pieces of base gear worth the 1% risk of instant death? This event design is limiting for future expansions, 1% chance to lose a survivor whole sale for the next hunt is ridiculous, and if you're playing with scouts you should NEVER bring anything noisy precisely because that pillar incentivizes very safe play. The design space of the game is indirectly telling you to not play with these things because it is an almost instant hunt end.If you can pick the pubes out of your teeth, please tell me how I'm wrong.
>>97370641The game is not supposed to be fair. Yes, Harvester is unfair, and that's fine. The game is supposed to be punishing. The game is supposed to have things in it that feel unfair, because life in the Kingdom Death universe is unfair and cruel and uncaring. That's what this event is supposed to represent, and without things like this the game is worse off. The edge disappears.Kingdom Death is not some incredibly well balanced pristinely manicured gameplay experience. If you want that, go play Gloomhaven, it's also very good in its own right. KD is supposed to be raw and uncaring and unfair. But if you just handwave all that away because you want something super balanced, in my opinion you're playing an inferior game. I have better games. I can, and do, play them. But when I play Kingdom Death I want Kingdom Death.
>>97370747>The game is not supposed to be fair>The game is supposed to be punishing>The game is supposed to have things in it that feel unfairNot that anon, but if I game can't balance the amount of unfairness in a way that prevents you from not having fun, then the "game" (Game: noun1.an activity that one engages in for amusement or fun.) doesn't existIf there are more "unfair" things than fun things in your "game" then it's not a game palYou can absolutely have fun with majority unfairness in a way a masochist have fun being beaten with a stick, sure, but that doens't make being beaten with a stick fun, you are just abnormalIn my opinion, the vanilla game is NOT fun, so I houserule a lot of unfair stupid shit to make it more fun (while still having some unfairness, which the game has plenty off)
>>97370835And that's where I get to mock you for it, because the reality is the game is not that hard. Unfair elements like harvester are one of the few things that can actually screw up a campaign once you know how to play the game. You complaining that there are tons of unfair things just reveals how bad you actually are at the game.
>>97370641NTA, what’s also ridiculous to me in terms of the Harvester event is that instead of noisy gear being some kind of rare situational sidegrades that (as a concept) isn’t really expanded upon, it’s in fact the opposite and there has been a significant amount of new noisy gear in the expansionsHell, GCE adds a quarry SPECIFICALLY focused on noisy gearAnd what’s the current intended fix for the noisy gear that Poots came up with? That’s right, two 60 dollar white boxes (one of which is also seasonal) that provide bandaid solutions and add SOME counterplay to harvesterImagine if you were playing Monster Hunter and each time you went on a hunt wearing a helmet, there was a 1% chance that you would instalose and get your save deleted instead, unless you purchased a 20$ once-per-character mcguffin that takes up another armor slot and prevents this from happening

What's your theory for why all the talent is leaving Leder Games?What’s your worst/best board game break up story?
>>97369851>there's no special roles for any ship like in TI, right?Aside from what >>97370327 said, you can absolutely make your different ship types fill specific roles. A favourite of mine is getting interceptors with really fast drives (ideally an early ancient tech) and filling the rest with missile launchers. Combine it with neutron bombs, you have very cheap terror units. Assassinate cruisers with 3-4 of them before they can fire a single shot, and when you can't destroy them immediately, just run and/or glass all worlds in your way. It's a fun system and I have no idea why it has never been reused in another game
>>97370434You can buy sleeves by the 1000s from temu for cheap. It takes ~5yrs to get delivered, but I stock up

>>97370739Needlessly angry, but I agree with the essence.Now to be fair; from what I know the inclusion of VPs was forced upon the game by leder. But to be even more fair, if cole got his will games would probably take 7h and end only when all players unanimously agree on who won

I could use some help in writing up a mechanic properly. This is an extended skill check mechanic for a system I am working on. The actual mechanical description is written terribly and it relies on the example for an actual explanation.Any suggestions on how to word it out as a mechanic without the example?
>>97366815I tried.EXTENDED CHECKSAn extended skill check consists of a [NUMBER of STEPS], a [CHECK DIFFICULTY] and a [CHECK DURATION], all of which can vary.[CHECK DURATION] is uninterrupted and undivided time spent on your project, it can range from 10 minutes to 12 hours to a month of working time.[CHECK DIFFICULTY] represents how hard the steps of your project are, taking skill into account. Refer to the chart provided.[NUMBER of STEPS] represent how much work a project requires, there is always at least 3, without an upper limit..To attempt work on a project a PC must spend time equal to the project's [CHECK DURATION], then then make a relevant skill test vs. the project's [CHECK DIFFICULTY] and mark [PROGRESS].A project is completed when a PC's [PROGRESS] exceeds a project's [NUMBER of STEPS].
Currently toying with the idea of a low fantasy RPG set in the Wild West. The main premise would be a Luck mechanic; Every character has somewhere between 10-20 HP and about up to 50 Luck, most shots from a revolver up close can one shot a character's HP but the damage first goes to Luck. Luck can also be used to add or subtract from rolls, it is a finite resources that can only be replaced during down time (Don't have a clear idea about how yet, I have been toying with having to win a hand of poker or just get drunk).Thoughts?
I give up.
Any examples of tabletop wargames with good character vs character combat?Im adapting a setting where its very much pulp heroes being badass and doing a tabletop version of it. I want hero vs hero or hero vs squad to matter. Just looking for inspo. Thank you everyone.
I know /tg/ had a pretty active Space Station 13 community way back in the days of yore, and now that the open-source modernized Space Station 14 is coming along nicely i was wondering if there is a SS14 /tg/ community kicking around. It would be fun to get stuck in with the old robust grey tide crowd again. Otherwise, general Space station 13/14 thread i guess.
>>97370205Different kind of experience. Barotrauma is a coop game.

>>97367313Is it still full of control freaks and homosexual drama queens?
Whirling dervishes, magical orders in the middle of the desert, guuls, djinn spirits, and the like?
>>97370156Ars Magica has a splatbook called The Cradle & The Crescent which deals with middle-eastern magic through the ars magica lens. It's not particularly detailed, since it's totally different to the core european hermetic magic that the game is built for, but it's interesting enough. I played a guy whose shtick was summoning djinni and asking them to do stuff in a one-shot game and I have no idea how the rules worked, the GM handled most of the stuff under the hood.if you want more info I can try to find some.
>>97370397Very interesting! I've never looked at Ars Magica before, but I guess I shall now. Thank you!
>>97370719it's very clunky in some places, but it has something very positive for what you want.The "metaphysics" of the game is that things work how people think they work. That is, the majority belief holds true and this can vary from region to region (someone who has learned a magical practise in one region can carry it to another and use it there, but the reigning metaphysics will change). That means you can have characters from one region turn up in another and go "wow this place is strange, even the magic is weird, why are there so few djinni here? why are their mages so strange?" and have mechanical backing to that. Since world travel is difficult and slow, it's not a setting and era where people can easily compare notes and do that "unified theory of magic" thing that happens in some modern D&D games.
