Requesting the following Drakkenheim adventures by Ghostfire Gaming:The Blood of Kesselholm -Horror of Ash Bay-Terror in Tierhaven-In Search of the Smuggler's Secrets-Revenge of the RatlingsSmuggler's Secrets I think was D&D Beyond exclusive, not sure if there's a rip out there. I'm not sure if Revenge of the Ratlings is out to non-backers as I didn't see it on the official shop. It was a free pdf that went to people who backed Monsters of Drakkenheim.Please and thanks!

>>97813659>>97813683It started as the northernmost Greek colony on the Italian mainland, and the Greeks didn't care about large navigable rivers near their settlements, they generally just wanted a sheltered port on the coast, some farmland and a few springs nearby, and would let the landlubbers do any of the possible overland trading. Shipping by sea, for example grain from Crimea to Athens or Corinthian pottery from the Greek mainland to Etruria, was cheap over massive distances. The freshwater situation in Naples was so shitty the Greek colonists already in the 5th century BC constructed the 10 km long Bolla Aqueduct, partially running underground, to supply the city from a marshy aquifer area on the foothills of Mt Vesuvius. Sebeto was the only river of any importance flowing nearby.
Think I finally nailed my units of lengthBase unit is a foot. There are 5 feet in a standardized pace. 3 in a step. Used in the same context of yard. So something is such and such paces away. Or two paces long. etc. The hole is 3 steps deep. The stone slid 4 steps to the left. etc. Strides are 4000 feet. Based on the average distance someone can walk in the wilds in one hour. So its not uncommon phasing to describe directions as being a hours stride north west, or 2 and a half hours stride east. It is around the middle distance between a mile and a kilometer and used in the setting's context in a similar way. So a person used to miles can think of strides as similar to miles in their head. While someone used to kilometers will think of strides similar to kilometers. Anything smaller I use comparisons or fractions rather than smaller standardized units. I doubt I will meaningfully need larger units so those too can be handled with comparisons to get scale across.
>>97784855Quick question - is there any fantasy or urban fantasy equivalent to the Space Marines? They're made by implanting various extra organs with some genetic modification from the geneseed. I can't think of anything else quite like that in other settings.
>>97818348Oh wow. Just thought of a secondary measurement system for one of the particular people groups. Because it wouldn't make sense for them to use such a human eccentric measurement standard even in their own settlements. So in my setting the Guyin people use Yins as their length measurement system. One Yin just so happens to be exactly one meter. Can add prefixes to yins to go up and down in scale similar to meters. centimeter/centiyin, kilometer/kiloyin etc. So the foot based system is called the Walker system of standardized measurements, also known as the Walker System (WS for short). The yin based system is simply called the Guyin standard (GS).

>mimimi, humans don't have their own feature, mimimi, we have to invent somethingNecromancy right here. When was the last time you saw non-human necromancer, lich or vampire? That's right, they practically don't exist because other races are simply inferior when it comes to necromancy and those non-human undead are so pathetic that everyone forgets about their existence in 5 minutes . Except for that one orc, but even he understood that he was worthless and therefore got himself a human body to finally become a full-fledged lich. So yes, here is your feature humans - necromancy, you know that I am right, you can't run away from the truth forever.
>>97816598are you retarded? Without bothering to look it up:BaenlornDracolichBansheeThe Golgari Swarm (undead elves and medusae)AlhoonsYou're just poorly read
>>97816513>When was the last time you saw non-human necromancer, lich or vampire?Warhammer Fantasy, where dark elves used necromancy to keep the souls of dead slaves working, simply out of spite.
>>97818430He probably means settings that didn't flop so hard they got taken out back and shot.
>>97818436Yeah, Warhammer Fantasy, which still exists unlike AoS who's about to watch the Old Yeller movie.Oh, also Eldar in 40k put the philacteries of their dead people into mechas so that kinda counts.

>>97818285But we if we include Hogwarts Legacy characters then we have Sir Ryan as an example of a trans character. So it's not as if JKR is against letting troons into her IP. Honestly, at this point worc would be able to check every DEI box without needing to invent new characters or change existing characters. Hell, the main villain is a white man leading a race supremacist group. You'd think wotc would love to get their hands on Harry Potter.

>>97818167I thought Biotechnica can only bring back small extinct animals like rabbits and birds. Anything bigger like a bear or a dinosaur is probably beyond their current ability.
>>97818298The pet dlc shows they can bring back bears and bigger creatures just fine
>>97818298>>97818308One of the adventures has a corpo with a pet lion or tiger that has a few neurons twisted in its brain to be a guard animal. I forgot if it was in 2020 or RED but Biotechnica has the capacity to do so if they can do all that. Especially that 2020 pet list that has underwater creatures too.
>>97816323>know it's not all multicoloured transgender anime catgirl orgiesThere will be fox girls too
>>97816647>>97816893half the problem with DGD is that it existed to sell bad miniatures so at least we won't have that. in general it seems like the twee is going to be more contained, and they're using the wider region to zone off different tones. It seems like the island will be the most twee part. we will see

>>97818057If a player generates a portrait or the GM generates some one-off NPC with imagen software, I don't give a fuck. I go into fuck debt if they actually set up a local stable diffusion thing and customed tuned their shit. Disposable material is wholly acceptable. No one should have to pay for a comm just to have a visual representation of their character.If the GM is generating the entire campaign and doing rules look-ups with AI and not actually writing or creating anything, they should be removed from the GM seat and then beaten over the head with said seat.

Is there ANY miniature wargame that isn't insanely expensive? I'm talking about things you can buy in a box and play immediately, not "print your own minis" bullshit or things where you're forced to use proxies cause official models don't exist.
>>97814744Because the rules in TW are virtually the same as in the Battletech Compendium. I do not trust Catalyst to not """"streamline""" the game for """modern audiences"""" and making it just Alpha Strike 2.
>>97816644That was just our local ban evader nicedaemonette getting obliterated. The mods nuke him from orbit whenever they sniff him out, regardless of what he's talking about. IDK what he did but he has their eternal enmity.
>>97817532They already summarized all of the changes and they're a lot less than what's been changed between Compendium and now. They didn't remove an entire phase of the game, for one.Although honestly, I don't know anyone who is actually going to use this new core book thing since it only has the BSP rules for non-mechs. Everyone's going to wait for the actual full rules.
>>97816722>I have no standards: the Post
>>97816576Oh no, at 10,000 you would never be able to bring more than a Star. A Kit Fox with a green pilot (3/4) is something in the range of 1500. Five Kit Foxes will of course effortlessly crush a Freebirth assault lance, but this is to my point: Not a whole lot of miniatures. Elementals, maybe, you could round it out with Elementals.

>>97818220>>97818250just take a companion on the prisoner pathway, make them reach sequence 0, and they can just give you the sefirot and make it accommodate you using their authority over it

Prostitution is the oldest profession. It has always existed and it will always exist. The presence of prostitutes and brothels is crucial for making a game setting and world feel realistic and lived in. Otherwise, it will lack all verisimilitude. So, tell us, how have you incorporated prostitution into your game?
>>97818352>FUCKING WIDOWS would get remarried instead of turning to prostitution.That had often more to do with laying claim on the wealth left behind by the late husband than concern about the woman's future.
>>97818352>FUCKING WIDOWS would get remarried instead of turning to prostitution.Well yeah, I imagine most women back in ye olde tymes didn't want a bunch of foreign, unwashed, and potentially diseased [ugly bastard] dicks in them.It isn't like today where the promise of STD treatments and abortions make women feel better about spreading for money, but the smart ones have figured out they only have to do that with a couple guys, have the babies, then extort alimony forever while also getting paid on Twitch and OnlyFans.
>>97818387Syphilis was not a thing until age of sail.Aids was not a thing until 20th century.Contraceptives know at the time were allegedly pretty reliable (most notably Silphium plant).For large part of history whore's only risk was not getting paid.
>>97818418Yeast infections had to still be a thing, though, right?Sorry, I'm actually strangely interested in this topic now.
>>97818458Presumably it was, though not bad enough proble to get mentioned in historical records (perhaps partially because most scribes were men and that's rather private female issue).
