Hard to say, really. Written sources use a couple of different words that are often translated as "dark elf" and/or "dwarf" that might mean the same thing or completely different things. Doesn't help that by the time Sturluson and others got around to actually writing any of this down, Scandinavia was mostly christianized, hardly anybody actually believed in this stuff anymore and there's no telling how much may have been forgotten or reinterpreted since the height of the old pagan culture(s). Heck, different tribes and kingdoms probably had their own ideas of what dwarves were supposed to be, since it's not like they had a pope or anything to enforce a particular interpretation.

>>98302116
Nah, for me Dwarves should just be badgers
Short, angry, dig holes and even have a resistance to snake venom so you can spin that into the dwarven poison resistance in DnD

i'm not the kind of gy who consumes this kind of content or play games with fantasy characters, i'm a regular guy who enjoy LOTR, for me, this is not a dwarf, is an abomination, i would not like to play with a monster like this, for me, a Dwarf should totally look like a human but more chunky and short, thats it, i dont like this design at all, that doesn´t mean its a bad design, its great for a monster, the colors, the body proportions, all that is fucking awesome

Just shower twice a day, change your clothes everyday, change your sheets once a week, vacuum your carpets if you have them at least twice a week. If you don’t keep a clean house, the stink of the house seeps into your clothes.
Clean your undercarriage when you shower. Don’t ignore the underside of your gut, or other places the sun don’t shine; scrub your entire body, every inch, right down to the ankles.
Use deodorant most days, antiperspirant on game days.

Stop being fat, people can smell your low testosterone pheromones

So yeah, grqb some dumbelss and get some cardio u fat fuck

>>98335418
>spots of fat accumulate sweat and overtime kinda smells
Right, because the fat is on the outside of the skin. Retard.
The reason fat people smell is because they’re too lazy to clean themselves. Get fit to be healthy, have better stamina, get healthy because the excess weight of being fat grinds down the cartilage in your joints and spine and will cripple you. Getting fit won’t your armpits and unwashed asscrack stop smelling.

>This is like saying Christianity is misogynist because it only allows for men to become priests
People usually call it that because of it defining general gender roles outside of priesthood and it's patriarchical with saying men should be heads of the household and women should be obedient to their husbands.
Not saying that's a bad thing of course, I don't find it as such because it's in line with biological realism on that front.
Just pointing out male priesthood is not usually the reason people call Christianity sexist.

>>98335036
That letter from Paul to the Ephesians calls for wives to show voluntary yielding (actual translation of the original Greek ὑποτάσσω) based on love and respect, rather than the pagan Mediterranean's utter disdain for women. People also miss that Paul also called for husbands to love their wives like Christ loved the Church - in other words willing to suffer and die for their wives. Revolutionary stuff for the time and place!

>>98335002

>christianity only allows men to become priests
wrong, that's Catholicism
which also gets criticism for its stance regarding divorced couples and also abortion
evangelical churches have female priests

>>98335086
people also forget that there's a big discussion about which letters were actually written by paul and which were written by his disciples/followers
I might also remind people that it could be a case of appealing to the patriarchal structure of the Romans/Greeks

Sure, but still not in line with modern femminism so that's where the disagreement (Which I personally don't have ) comes from.

Obviously it's a product of its time and you always have to remember that with scripture same as with everything else.
Perhaps that was forthcoming back then, but obviously we should aim to be better than folks that were non-trivially closer to primitives in time and knowledge than we are.
>calls for wives to show voluntary yielding (actual translation of the original Greek ὑποτάσσω) based on love and respect
We should not use that as today's standard, way too easily twisted IMHO ("hey you are not my fucking slave because I'm an asshole, it's because you have to love me"), kinda resembles the "but the slaves were happy to be servants of the noble trad southern family, was totally a harmonious spiritual thing the way we treated them like livestock"
Our age should be sane enough to phrase "don't be assholes to each other" in clearer way. Of course, I don't mean to trash Paul, I'm willing to assume he meant it well.

The Ewoks should've been the Wookies as originally planned.
Jar Jar should've been a double agent, if not at first then later after Palpatine saw the possibilities in him

Yoda and Obi-Wan tell him not to go because it's a trap, and that while he might (key word: might) be able to help them, the future is always in motion.

Well shit, they were right. It was a trap, Luke didn't help them at all. In fact, Luke's friends had to rescue him after he fucked around and found out with Vader, and got his hand chopped off. They'd even already escaped at that point, and Luke was left hanging from a weather vane crying out for Leia to come get his dumb ass. Then he was so emotionally traumatized from finding out Vader was his father he never returned to Dagobah to keep training like he was supposed to be doing, leading him to be drastically less prepared when the time came for him to confront the Emperor and Vader.

Did he succeed? Yes. But it takes nothing away from Luke's choice in ESB being wrong. Yoda was right, he should not have gone. He was not ready for that burden of knowledge in ESB.

There has been a bit of powercreep but it's just that the shield mechanics, or therelackof, 120% benefitted the aggro weenies. The biggest sin of the aggro weenies is just a lack of interaction, really.

Happy weekend /btg/

Next game, I'll be trying out some rules for concealed information I'm calling Half Blind

>Play on a map heavy with LOS blocking, ideally either a city or jungle
>Players play with record sheets concealed from each other
>On first setting up, rather than placing miniatures, you place markers that indicate the unit type. Probably just labeled paper hexes or printed unit indicators.
>When you first get line of sight on an enemy unit, replace it with its proper miniature. Getting line of sight allows you to vaguely ID that mech as a Warhammer, or that tank as a Bulldog, etc.
>Exact variants are still not revealed, only the general chassis, so you can't tell the difference between, say, an Archer 2R and and an Archer 5S at this point.
>In order to positively ID the target unit's exact model, you have to Scan it using the Scanning rules (in the new Core book). Once you have a positive ID, the record sheet is revealed for the rest of the game.

Should be neat, will post results.

Maximum metal has provided rules for use of anti-tank weapons against character sized enemies where a player can roll LUCK+15 over a successful attack roll to reduce the damage to 5D6AP.
As for the HLAW being prohibited, I'm referring to the recoil rules from Solo of Fortune 2. HLAW does 11D10 damage so 110/5 = 22 BOD required to wield the weapon effectively. Even assuming your pc has a cyberarm (effective body of 12) thats still -20 to hit with an additional base -2. HLAW is likely intended to be a mounted weapon, otherwise wielded by APCA's and maybe Borgs which is fair because otherwise its obviously broken as shit.

if RTal had any fucking business sense they would put production into overdrive to release the 2077 book with Edgerunners S2 after it reignites the hype for the setting

but they won't do this because Rtal is a bunch of impotent dumbasses who let every sensible business opportunity slip out of their grasp

Player has come to me with an interesting request and I'm not sure how to handle it. The players have acquired enough cash to buy an alpha class and the one who wants to be borg'd has asked if he could get the speeding bullet cyberlegs installed during the operation instead of regular ones.
On the surface I don't see why not, but this seems to be a grey area in the rules because I'm not really sure how to handle the differing limb and humanity costs, and how that would factor into the cost of the borg body.

it's the same thing. that titan legions game in the piccy is the second half of Space Marine & Titan Legions, which together make up Epic's 2nd edition. each one was originally a box set fully playable on its own but compatible with the other.

NetEpic IS 2nd edition, it's the same game. from the OP
>Rules: netepic.org/core-rules/

that's the game. if you just want to play it with titan cards only, then you're playing "titan legions". the xenos titan cards are in their respective army book pdfs.

>>98329754

Turn number tracking is empty design space currently, rightly avoided I think. Similar realm of busy work to Day/Night, though I could see it working in limited as the set's main mechanical gimmick.

Great idea with the only attacking on extra turns thing, very thematic.

>>98335209
>but, if you had to give this creature static P/T, what would that be?
Extra turns are a huge ask, but you have to hedge for "loses all abilities" type effects which it would almost certainly be used more alongside extra turns, if it was egregiously large. U for a 4/4 or 1U for a 5/5 or 6/6 is probably fine.

Your first mistake is assuming that different types of people produce the same sort of work, and to the same quality.

Your second is assuming that it's not the lack of quality they are reacting to.

Star Wars: The Old Republic for instance, bombed because it was shite.
If it had been written by and starring a white man, it still would have been shite.

The only face-saving maneuver the idiots at the studio could think to pull was declaring that "The audience is wrong".
And that is an arch-sin for anybody who would call themself an entertainer.
But they don't realize they are entertainers.
They think they are here to "educate" us.

>>98334355
NTA, but there is a loud minority of people who will hate or defend a work because of its perceived "wokeness" (or lack thereof) regardless of its actual quality. Like I'm sure if Alien was released today you'd have certain people bashing the film on the internet because the main protagonist Ripley is female and is the only member of the Nostromo's crew that survives the film while all the male characters die. And there definitely are people who like to act as if no work of fiction written before 2000s had non-white or female characters in a major role, as well as people who claim the only reason people hate the Star Wars sequels or the Ghostbusters reboot is because they have female and non-white protagonists (and not because those films are just terribly written).

>>98334362
I mean, saying SWTOR bombed because it was shit isn't wrong.
