Why do people think the only possible alternative to "woke" modern fantasy aesthetics is brain-dead isekai shit or grey-and-brown mudcore? Is there some kind of all-or-nothing discourse I'm not aware of?
>>94424348Not that guy, but...I mean, the tide is turning. As the endgame for the woke movement was a candy-colored gay parade of mystery-meat mongrel, I feel that we have no reason to be magnamious in victory.If we're back from the brink, I want my ideological enemies crushed. Yes, it's spite, but I think revenge is well-warranted at this point.Forget the compromise of "Maybe just like ONE gay guy and strong black woman as part of the signature characters". No, now I want the signature party to consist entirely of white people, with a heroic male human fighter swinging a sword at orcs.Oh yeah, maybe two women: A demure Cleric with tits as big as her head, and a blonde, blue-eyed elf as the hero's trophy fuck.Now the other side has been defeated, I intend to really put the boot in. Really twist the knife, because it's our turn to punish them now.
>>94429903Basically this
>>94429903>>94430059Don't be stupid, you didn't win anything.The ones who won this fight were the anime fans.
Read stuff only from back in the day, watch films from the 60-80's era and play games that represent you yourself. A Caucasian Male who deserves an old school fantasyland with no verisimilitude-destroying DEI elements. Your ancestors did not fight for you to abandon eternal aryan archetypes like Aragorn and Conan.>>94429903Nice powerfantasy. I concur.
>>94429903You knowI never could put it in words like that, but yeah, I want this too.I don't just want pushback. I want revenge.
I'd like to hang some classic drow art in my office - the most sinister, sexy, BDSM-coded stuff you can think of. Preferably from an artist who sells prints. Anyone got any suggestions?
I dont know sir. This board is about games. Not artworks on your wall.
>>94429135No, but good luck with your search.
>>94429135What kind of office lets you do that, a tattoo parlor?
>>94429135I wonder if you can get prints of Warhammer book art.
Been years between responses with my old gaming buddy. I hope you’re playing games with actual friends and not just acquaintances. I grew up playing games with the same group of guys then I moved away. After that the guys I played games with were never guys I went to the movies or got a beer with. Except for pic related was the best friend I made as an adult. We managed to survive 2 years after my 1st kid too but the adulthood drift got us.
>>94423026I hope that's not the case. We were online friends, and a relationship would never have been realistically in the cards for us.Also, what's this about a 900 second wait? That's ludicrous.
>>94426854>Then they insist, no, I'm so sorry and then proceed to...do it againTell them you're sorry to not include them in your plans then. When they get pissy about it you can tell them to fuck off. Get some self-respect and find some people who are a net benefit in your life.
>>94423093Totally agree, but if I'm going to play it it may as well be digital. Sorry to keep refusing your batchall or whatever.>>94426393>, there's plenty of old farts on 4chan these daysSometimes the only way this place makes sense is imagining a handful of people who've been here for 10+ years and a million shitty bots
>>94426854I'm not saying you're bad you moron, I'm just telling you to speak to your friends.
>>94422920>I never got the 'They don't owe you anything' line. Because if you're friends surely you do owe each other something, a mutual respect and courtesy being a conservative estimateSame. A friendship is not a zero-commitment contract you can drop out of whenever you feel like it. Least one can do is say goodbye and acknowledge the other person.

>>94420751you can't be playing netrunner which is the literal definition of a tranny card game now and complain about pride flags
>>94429185Set 3 has ~3 playable legendaries, which doesn't help. Despite tripling the card pool, most meta decks are still a majority set one cards.
>>94429821I can definitely see that then. Granted, the starter decks for that cluster were really good and I even managed to teach my friend how to play the game with ease using those decks. But if they were optimized builds of those rulers you mentioned, especially Justice, I can see why they'd feel overwhelmed. Honestly, idk the best way to introduce this game either. You either have decision paralysis with the new stuff due to complexity creep and such, or you use older cards but then it's basically a completely different game.
>>94429258>Hard mana ramp game>Every card you draw is liveI've played before, so ?? Has the game changed that much?
>>94429215>Tattoo>Damn, that is sad.eh, i dunno, it's not like he's a random SW-obsessed fan. he's the game dev. if you're that guy, you've probably invested multiple years of your life in to this thing, living it every day. that project is your baby. he seems like they type who genuinely loves the work and the people, so most of those years are probably fond memories. and for him, that tat will be associated with those years even if the game crashes and burns next week. would be even if the game never made it to market.I've got a few old tattoos that are kinda dumb subject matter or poorly drawn, but strongly associated with specific eras in my life, old groups of friends, or loved ones now gone in some cases. can't say I regret any of them. with hindsight, I think I'd rather have a bad $75 tattoo that reminds me of an old friend I got it with than any big "cool" art piece that draws compliments. you're only on this earth as an adult for a few decades, really. you choose to give 5% or 10% of those precious years over to creating something, even if it doesn't mean much to other people it's definitely gonna matter to you.

>>94430219The merger with Skydance was only announced July this year. I wouldn't confuse the negotiations process, which was conducted with several different entities interested in either merging with or outright acquiring Paramount, and the deal as inked and signed. This doesn't negate the fact that Paramount+ definitely has the appearance of downsizing right now. What changes the merger brings are unknown quantities right now.>...but this happens before the Hobus exploding right?Probably. Time is iffy right now given the nature of events and Sela is, to my knowledge, dealing with the threat to Romulus in the Defiant series. By the time they get back and set right what once went wrong it may be too late, assuming Sisko would even try to use any knowledge he gains anyway. Temporal Prime Directive and all that. I don't think the specifics of how Spock wound up there were fully touched upon.
>>94430266The comic is also non-canon as fuck, but that's more or less beside the point given /stg/. Games sure as shit ain't canon no matter how much the GM may try to keep things as canon as possible. I'm all for embracing the crazy, myself, and going all out, like these comics tend to.
>>94430266Im including the negotiation process with other entities since those probably lead to them needing to make themselves leaner to be more appealing to buyers. The number of shows downsizing was inevitable once that started happening.>>94430362True, though I assume that the current Trek Beta canon wants to not contradict main canon too much right now. I think they spun off the books into their own universe and started over because of Picard being so incompatible.
SHAPE WAR!
>>94429961An Earth-Romulan War movie could be cool if it was made by people who actually cared.

Dm mentioned that an upcoming monster will "share hit points with the group". How are we supposed to kill it without dying?
>>94430188Neither do you have penis.
>>94429070Restrain the monster. Grapple it, tie it up and just drug it.
>>94429573You are gay now
>>94429070If it mirrors just HP total and not exact specific injuries, dismemberment might be the way to go. You'll easily earn both you victory and complementary fucknugget.
>>94429070You're not supposed to kill it, you're meant to disable it without affecting its HP.
I took the woodcube pill for terrain and decided to paint them. >Way cheaper than buying anything online, period>they’re sturdy as hell.> it’s way harder to get consistency with them. This is a matter of how skilled you are with a glue gun. At the end of the day you’re stacking stuff and there’s no snapping/magnet mechanism to hold them in place (though you can do this)>More expensive than using cardboard or printable things, but a lot less work. >You can’t really communicate things like rails or walls without using other things, but that’s a given since they’re just cubes. Overall, highly recommended if you value your time/workspace but don’t want to fork over the kind of money modular terrain (like Monster Adventure terrain) or set pieces (dwarven forge) can run you.

Pioneering the limits of boardgaming? Pretentious art? Faggotry?
>>94430162Only if you have a functional brain. The majority of this general can't handle a game like it unless all the tension is diffused by putting effects on VP cards and adding anime tits for their ADD riddled brains.
>>94430162Eh not really. At the end of the day all decks do the same thing (get a lot of coin, buy provinces) so it kinda feels samey to me, even if theres attack cards messing you upMaybe I just don't get it though.

>>94429327Herman was arguably better designer in his youth too. Even if you hate wargames the fact that Pacific War didn’t turn into another Campaign for North Africa is impressive, to say nothing of Gulf Strike getting him on major news networks.
>>94427931>>94428077>>94428165I've played several games of this in person so far and have 8 or so people interested in more.

Thread title.Battletech is a creaky old relic now, and Lancer is for faggots and commies. Other than that, it's like there are no other notable ones.Even Gundam never made a successful jump to TTRPG.
>>94429713>accidentally reinforces the other anon's point with examples of exactly what they're referring toPeak midwit post, typical of a lancerfag
>>94430118Reminder that the Lancer devs specifically bragged about not consuming mecha media so they could "bring fresh ideas and much-needed originality into the genre"
>>94429713Wrong, nigger. 08th MS Team is about how Norris Packard is Zeon's top shooter since Ramba Ral and the realest one to ever live.

Trench Crusade's Kickstarter finished with over $3m in funding.And the only thing that was FOMO was the rulebook being hardback whilst the retail version will be soft cover. Everything else will be available at retail.Other companies like Westfalia Miniatures have also graciously given out free .stl's in collaboration with the creators.Finally, here's the rulebook art. By the legend Paul Bonner.I won't lie, it's not completely my cup of tea, but at the same time it's refreshing to see such a fan-friendly approach to miniature wargaming recieving such interest.Every game of Trench Crusade is a poke in the eye of nuGW and their way of doing business, and their honking and squealing paypigs.

I like collecting pictures of it for inspiration for characters and modelling. So post cool realistic fantasy armour! Include sources if you don't mind doing soRealistic fantasy armour doesn't necessarily have to be practical - it can be overly decorated or even use fictional concepts that don't exist in real life, like enchantment or other aspects. However, it should feel like it's made using processes that have logic to them - someone who has at least a basic understanding of how real armour works
That feels like enough for now. You're on your own op
>>94428120Games?
>>94430468Any fantasy games where your characters wear armor, obviously
