>>97162394Man had the most retarded notion of how a command structure and loyalty should work, so his whole army worked on a conga line of sycophantic compulsive liars because nobody else would survive in a leadership position. Whole thing would've collapsed even if he won and would've left Europe as a bigger shithole than the ex-soviet states.

>>97158712>hero: A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life.I think you are mistaking hero and villain with protagonist and antagonist.

>>97184699fucking 500, what the fuck?This feels like on par with those stupid grading companies that would put the product in an inescapable plastic tomb with an arbitrary number on it and charge you out the ass for them to make some shit up.
>>97184254We did get them in one batch last year but yeah... No escorts bundle No rules for AoS beyond the belated SoG Chorfs
>>97184529Why is it in the box?
>>97184725He just picked a random number that was big anon, they aren't 500 dollars. But they are way way too much for an acrylic display that I could get off temu for 25$
>>97184890Yeah I looked up the article afterwards and it's neat, but yeah realistically pretty easy to just do it yourself.

>>97184465>Truth. Some Vigil compacts are so different in approach and philosophy that they can end up in direct conflict with each other.Case in point, let's talk vampires since that's what sparked the discussion.>Taskforce: Valkyrie wants to do the usual glownigger thing of keeping the status quo and the normies blind and deaf>Cheiron wants to harvest vampires to print money selling combat performance enhancers to NATO>Malleus Malleficarium wants them immolated with extreme prejudice except the few that get smuggled to the Vatican so their leader can continue living>The Lucifuge wants to police them and curb their worst excesses as well as stamp out the ones that consort with Strix or denizens of Hell>The Cainite Heresy wants to enact TVD right here and now, fuck the consequencesThat's just a handful of hunter groups, and only one isn't from core.
>>97184407Oh so it's even lamer than I thought. Still gonna check it out, if nothing else I can use bits from it for color in Vigil and/or Mage.

Vista edition>Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk RED?Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that focuses on simulation gameplay and has a black trenchcoat aesthetic.Cyberpunk RED is the fourth edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that is set after Cyberpunk 2020 following the Fourth Corporate War, focuses on more balanced gameplay and is more streamlined but has less content.You can discuss Shadowrun here too because I also feel bad for those guys.>Cyberpunk Rulesets (The Vault) (May not have all updated rulebooks, check official sources for updates):bit<dot>ly/2Y1w4Md>Resources for RED:https://datapool2045.net/Comment too long.

>>97181724Mike, Talsorian and CDPR deliberately left gaps in the lore to give players some leeway if they want to make a campaign about the corporate wars.
>>97181724Corporations in Cyberpunk use influence, economic manipulation and blackmail to get what they want. National governments can still lay down the law if things get out of hand, assuming they have the power to do so, but they're usually being made to look the other way. That's why Medias are such a big deal: they can expose the horrible shit the corps are doing behind the scenes and force the authorities to act through making what been going on undeniable.>I don't quite understand how the fuck the Fourth Corporate War got that bad though.Militech and Arasaka got away with amassing small armies for themselves under the pretense of being involved in the private security/military contractor business. They also had the backing of their respective governments.With that in mind, it's important to remember that the Fourth Corporate War didn't immediately erupt into open conflict. It was a gradual build-up of force as both sides pushed the limits of what they could get away with. Funnily enough, it was during the Hot War that world governments began cracking down.>Europe should have been dropping rocks.The Highriders staged a coup up in orbit and began dropping rocks themselves.
>>97179929sounds like an extra layer of potential roleplay. maybe counterbalance the increased visibility with some expat communities they'll have an easier time making contacts in.
>>97183699>ational governments can still lay down the law if things get out of handNotably, this is what happened in the Cybergeneration branch of the timeline: The Carbon Plague and corporate warfare weakened the megacorps enough that the US government was able to reassert itself.

>>97184794I dont think giants were ever particulary good.
>>97184868It does feel like that sometimes
Sup /tg/, wanna talk about Slavic, Steppe, and Siberian myth in TTRPGs. There's so much cool shit, from Cornflower Wraith to Bolotnik to the Hungry Ghosts. But it feels like this stuff is barely explored. What are some good resources as reading for my setting?
>>97184591Sure. I found a splendid module called Where The Wheat Grows Tall based around Noonwraith and other spirits seeking vengeance.
>>97184600>where the wheat grows tall Hey I have that one. Looked neat, the art and characterization has solid witch and spirit stuff but I find the wrap up or goal of the adventure a bit too vague. There's not enough treasure for an osr sort of adventure, there's not enough clear resolvables for a storygame adventure. I've found Osprey magazine's different bits about warriors, conflicts and eras to be useful as an overview of a historical period. Not always the best historical research, but fast to read, decent maps and pictures and easy to use.
The entire Hill Cantons series, less Misty Isles of the Eld but ymmv on that one, are aimed at eastern euro weird fantasy. I rather like them but haven't had players express as much interest in that area of the world so we haven't used them. Slumbering Ursine Dunes is a pointcrawl, Fever Dreaming Marlinko is a city and What Ho Frog Demons is a hex crawl that all link together.
>>97184510I looked up Slavic monsters on Wikipedia, but that was to workshop a theoretical video game styled after Blasphemous
>>97184510The people who "own" this shit are sick and tired of it, and thus ee no value to export itThe people who treat it as exotic stuff meanwhile have nothing to draw from, unless they can read Cyrillic.Truly, a huge mystery why it has low-to-none exposure

Do you play tabletop games with your kids?
>>97177224Kek are these the type of guys in /awg/?
>>97177224do the words choking hazard mean anything?
yeah one of my kids likes robots so we use some battletech minis and just do a straight-line moves only thing. every mech has some armor bubbles and the number of armor bubbles also determines how many times they shoot, so a light mech gets 2 bubbles and shoots twice. hit on 5 or 6. I've been slowly adding elements as his brain gets more wrinkles
>>97177310No, but I have played MYFAROG once. It wasn't great, I ended up usurping the GM chair after the first game and I ran Hyboria using an OSR rule set.
>>97181599checked and guilty as charged>>97182590>do the words choking hazard mean anything?that's what she said>>97179081Damn. That's horrible.Hang in there my dude. You will find someone more sane, who will be happy to have your baby tomboys.Yeah the transition from university to the professional world is brutal when it comes to dating. Try attending social events with 50% girls or more, but which you still enjoy doing. Like dance class, for example. That's the best way to meet new people organically, when you have a job. That, or traveling and staying in youth hostels.
Post franchises you think should be or should have gotten tabletop RPGs or war games.Considering how wild the 90's was, I'm legitimately surprised this of all things didn't get one, frankly.

>>97183422I remember this being a kickstarter shit show mixed with standard Kevin Siembieda problems, making it at least 5 times as fucked as kickstarters can be. Did anyone actually get their miniatures and play the damn game?

>>97184344I recently got into it as a board game noob. It's pretty addictive. I'm thinking of getting myself a physical version

>>97184617Yea it's my favorite co-op card game. Probably have played each campaign about 4 times at least.
>>97184659Which one do you recommend aside from Dunwich and Carcosa?>>97184646idk, I usually post in /vg/
>>97182563>there are three desks that stand slightly above the restLying through their teeth to calm the plugged in masses. When three decks make up two thirds of all decks at a tournament I hardly would call that "slightly." Furthermore I think the passive aggression about being asked to do something to fix this proves they don't respect their fans at all. They wish you all would shut up and accept what they feed you, even if it's the same boring shite year after year.
Why was XP for gold largely abandoned as a way to reward players?
>>97178186I’ve been running AD&D myself and my experience could not be more different. If you’re strict about the money sinks your players are broke ass bums all the time. I’ll be showering them with money but levelling up and identifying items is so ridiculously expensive. I wanted to play this game to see if people here are just talking out of their ass about it and they are but at this point I think every table is so different that no facts can be agreed upon so discussion is almost impossible.
>>97161391Because the people who replaced it were a bunch of preachy Mormons who wanted you to instead be rewarded for following the rails and acting Wholesome and Christian in line.Not even bullshitting, Dragonlance is basically a Mormon fapfiction and the stated goal of the Hickman manifesto was 'Get those retards to ingest our too-shit-to-publish-on-its-own-terms fantasy lit'It's not that games didn't have overarching stories before Hickman, it's that post-Hickman the game became about the story, as proven by the number of people cranking the hog in this very thread over "hurr durr, your characters are boring and we need a big story to keep things interesting"No.Your metaplot is boring and the characters are the ones the game should be about, they should be inherently interesting people and if they're not then ask your players why their characters aren't interested in adventuring off their own bat, you frustrated failed novelist.
>>97161553>went out of popularity about 40 years agoYes, OP knows this. It's why he asked, WHY?
>>97184311Maybe because the answer is obvious (players want actual stories and not just dungeon grinds) and the OP was just an argument starter?
>>97184308Dragonlance hasn't been relevant in decades, the typical D&D player today probably hasn't even heard of it.
How to make a setting feel like it's not a not!x setting?I recently got some of my friends into GURPS. They wanna play a fantasy setting for their first experience. I want to make sure the setting feels like it's own and doesn't feel like the characters are exploring not!europe or not!england. I've been told this was a bit of a problem in my previous pathfinder campaignHow do I make the setting feel like it's own thing without the players feeling like they are just going through the real world?
>>97174889Arthur is, canonically, Cymric (basically Welsh).
>>97174921WeirdAlways thought he was english too
>>97177680He is supposed to have been born in what is now England in the 5th century. He was written about as a military commander who fought the invading Saxons. Camelot was supposedly in Wales
>>97167813Use the real country
