Idk if solo gaming requires minimal investment. In a board game without hidden elements like cards it might be fine, but running an rpg solo with an oracle is playing with like one and a half games in some cases. The lack of investment is just in scheduling or dealing with "that guy"

That's not how that works. For most of human history most of us died in childhood, but if you could make it to 10 or so you had a good shot at making it to 80.
But this early mortality really skews the average and is a great example of how you can lie through statistics.

Everyone knows about Alykinder's book, Principals, but few have heard of his other work, On the Gwyntish Question

What exactly are the Tollyn Maeryn Pykpluckers? The name makes me think they capture enemy pykpyks with a butterfly net or something but there was some fluff blurb I read that made it seem they were like standard pykpyk handlers so I'm confused

>>98125579
Hot take; the Gwyntish merchant princes were always Crypto-Arnyarans.
Also the Arnyarans aren't the real Arynarans, but that's a whole other thing.

All three. The OGL debacle and wet fart of 5.5 pushed people into homebrew silos that don't generalize to other tables, 4chan's gradual decline was pushed into overdrive by last year's hack, and the glacial pace at which material is released means that anything new has already been talked to death.

So what do you think is going to be Season of Champions to round off the year?

You forgot a o in your last sentence but also the "two most distant permanent" don't always make a rectangle that includes all other permanent.

Yeah, possibly, I have no way of telling, but there surely used to be a shittonne of this, especially back then, especially in things marketed towards men (such as games), but often in completely ridiculous areas too. I really see no point in this revisionism.

All of them. The trait is what unlocks the apex detachment.

The only way "around it" I could see is a special assignment archmagos (not technically unlocking any slots) to give access to a detachment other than the one your actual archmagos unlocks.

>Altered Carbon
>EP
On another note, had you seen "interface zero"? The lore is kind of cyberpunk kitchen sink but it is interesting, the usual tropes, even has psionics. But EP's lore is way more rich tho, has savage worlds and FATE versions for the 2.0 edition.

>>98124709
>is secretly a prequel to Starblade Battalion
That's great, mine is kind of a prequel to a mix of AWN/SWN Mandate, pre-psychic scream, mixed with Iain M. Banks' The Culture and Mindjammer's commonality.

The bebop/black lagoon trope sounds great, I bet the party is fun.

Interface Zero: Cyberpunk-Themed TTRPG, it has the usual tropes and a little more, (.i.e. it has psionics), lore-wise it feels in between RTG-CPR and EP. There's a savage worlds and a FATE version for 2.0, but 3.0 is Savage worlds only. Can't say it has anything innovative or outstanding, but it is no low-quality either, it was made with passion and love, but still, it has nothing you can't find elsewhere. For me the advantage was having something cyberpunk with FATE stats that I could use to plug into my FATE campaign, same as with EP Fate edition. Another advantage I get from Interface Zero is that it has a more compelling use of psionic characters, which CPR lacks, and in EP they are cumbersome and very limited, in Interface Zero, psionics is important.

Otherwise it wouldn't had any advantage, since I consider EP's kitche-sink lore superior, and my favorite crunch-lite ruleset is Cities without number, while my favorite narrativist mechanics are from FATE.

It's not about what classes D&D "should" have, but about how the classes work.

>unarmed combat
Instead of a Monk class, it would make sense for every race to have its own ancient martial arts that incorporate their natural advantages, and characters start with "white belt" level basics.
Every unarmed move should reduce target HP, whether it's a push, an attempted grapple, etc, since HP is an abstraction of endurance, fighting stamina, and luck.
More investment would obviously grant better moves.

>weapons combat
Instead of a Fighter class, it would make sense for each background to have a list of weapons to choose from, reflecting both the racial history of weapon advancement, and the training of the character himself. Some weapons like clubs and spears might be common to all races, with some weapons being more unique; savage orcs might have jagged curved cleavers while dwarves might have heavy long-maces.
Weapons would definitely be better than unarmed strikes in terms of damage output, and an innate ability to parry depending on the weapon, but unarmed's utility would outclass weapons. Plus, weapons could synergize with martial arts, using disarming grapples, follow-up kicks or shoulder charges (spiked or enchanted armor can help this too).

Then, since D&D is so magic-heavy, various forms of gameplay could be dedicated to the schools of magic. The "master spell list" would have to be discarded, and it would be better to have each school be from a different supernatural or unnatural source, so while it's all "magic", each form could have different ways to use, different costs, and different consequences.
More importantly, things would need to be made so instead of having one correct answer, each power would be viable in its own right.
Of course, the different forms of magic should be able to synergize with weapons and martial arts the character can use, too.

>It still amuses me they avoided Tom Paris being Nick Locarno simply because they didn't want to pay the writer.
Unsubstantiated rumour spread by the actor himself and he even added that others didn't believe this. When you have facts that show this is true, do tell, in the meantime, it's rumour and hearsay.

>>98124619
There is so much unsubstantiated bullshittery around some of it edged with some vague sense of truth that it is hard to tell what is and isn't correct. I decided to look into this a bit more detail and the best "evidence" I could find was some unreferenced quote on imdb saying that they didn't want to use Locarno due to potential legal issues.

What I did find which seems to be backed with some sources is that the reason for not using Locarno was creative differences, mainly that some thought his character was irredeemable and preferred to make a new character but they really liked the actor and the concept. Apparently Locarno was on the production notes for Voyager early in development as they did consider his character but I can find no reason referenced for dropping him as being due to have to pay licensing.

>>98124619
>Unsubstantiated rumour spread by the actor himself and he even added that others didn't believe this.
According to this guy, who is generally pretty knowledgeable about Trek, Jeri Taylor, who wrote up most of the characters and initial episodes, believed Locarno was too irredeemable. Others say that the character was Locarno almost right up until filming and then changed for reasons unknown or unrecorded. Other people insist it was actually a rights issue so they wouldn't have to pay the First Duty writer. Interviews say he was going to be Locarno, but there is no straight answer or concrete explanation recorded anywhere.

>>98124548
/stg/ belongs on /tg/

/trek/ belongs on /tv/

>>98125293
given that they've since reused both Paris and Locarno on different shows I doubt it was ever a rights issue; as far as character creation goes, "The First Duty" was credited to Naren Shankar and Ronald D. Moore, both of whom were still on staff at Paramount in various capacities at the time and would continue to be for many years after Voyager's first season; it's unlikely that script doctor Peter Allan Fields or staff writers Braga and Echevarria, who are also credited in those capacities, were holding out for more money for appearances by a series main cast member, especially as McNeill was cast anyway

the most likely answer is that Locarno, who was utterly unrepentant to the point of delusionally suggesting to Wesley that they commit even more bullshit together, was simply not Starfleet material and wouldn't be seen that way either in-universe or by long-time fans, but the concept of a fallen officer redeeming himself was seen as appealing and McNeill's performance was preferred, since he already knew how to do it and, absent obsessive TNG fans, audiences wouldn't hold it against McNeill that he'd already played a separate similar character, just as they'd already accepted Marc Alaimo, William Campbell, Denise Crosby, Robin Curtis and someone named "Majel Barrett" among many others doing the same

>>98125630
it looks like some variant of poker that explicity relies on card-counting and deceit; players seem to have a hand of their own, add hands to the wheel and pass the wheel-hands around while raising the stakes each time; the D4s are either alien tokens or introduce a separate element of randomness (either in the sense of determining how much the pot must increase by, or how many turns the wheel must make, or potentially both if the dice have different markings)

it's complicated by what appear to be both square and round decks of cards, and I don't think was ever meant to have real rules

Question regarding Hail Caesar Epic Battles.
I bought a Roman division to dip my toes into the model making etc, but I can't tell which unit is which.
There are two units wearing lorica hamata, and one wearing robes. They have differing helmets, but I still can't tell who's who.
The options are Triarii, Hastai and Principes.
Anyone able to help?

>>98125993
You have a fourth option: velites. Make sure the robes aren't wolf pelts.

I think I remember their hastati were the same as their principes so I wouldn't be surprised the triarii are the same too.

So if I'm right you'll have your lorica to divide into three (well triarii are supposed to be half the number of hastati or principes but I don't know if Warlords bothered with that) and the rest being velites.
