>>97563170>i think there's a better name for the settlement than New KogeSure.
Fussed with the wiki today, fixed the Eternal war dating on the timeline and added stuff from various sources to the Apeman page. It's a bit repetitive since some of the sources overlap so I'll go back in and prune when I can get time.>>97563170I can't think of a name for the British base but I do think it would look like a Palmerston fort. I like the idea of it being just off the shore with only a stone quay on the land since the British don't even want to deal with going on land and fighting off constant attacks. I couldn't find a period photo but here is a painting of one of the sea-based forts of the time (They date to 1860s-70s)It's a cool look.>>97564080It's not especially relevant, but a lore tidbit I've mentioned on and off is that the first Grímsvötn guards were originally Cuirassiers who lost their horses during the invasion due to weather or the terrain or fighting or some such, which explains their armour and relatively elite status. Having the invasion be haphazard and rushed in 1884 would explain that, although it's hardly crucial either way.
>>97564131I don't think the wiki timeline has the full update we did. For now, the wiki needs to update the timeline, all related to the Second Oriental Crisis and I'm sure other updates are not yet added.
>>97548085An anon ages and ages ago wrote some pieces of the Atlan religion. Didn't save them, you'd have to go digging through the archives.>>97554901>Heligoland to Great Britain.Is that OTL?I do really like the rest of the timeline though, especially their dogged (heh) determination to conquer doggerland.>>97556214>Maybe the Tsardom does not want the british to control such an important piece in the North SeaThat's something I've long been wanting to focus on, 2nd layer politics, alliances, etc. Going to be messy though, given how complex they were OTL, and Agarthan additions is only going to muddy things, especially the the resurgent catholic church down south, and the Ottomans, and I'm already getting a headache thinking about it all.
>>97564749Denmark then ceded Heligoland to George III of the United Kingdom by the Treaty of Kiel in OTL. >>97564749I imagine that, by 1884, the mounting tensions would be considerably lower than the equivalent OTL. Without french revanchism, one of the big reasons for WWI is out. With the Ottomans breathing down the Balkans, there's more interest in keeping the region stable, least the undead begin moving northwards. And with all agarthan lands ripe for the taking (plus Africa and Asia still to fully colonize), there's a long time for the powers to expand without any immediate conflict. There are points of contention brewing, like the anti-vulcanists movements, the excessively agressive british policy and the eventual competition for the agarthan borders (and maybe conflict with the agarthan empires as well), but for now a big war between nations is probably very far.
Freakshit races are ruining Dungeons & Dragons.
>>97565640No, its a single guy trying to push it here. I have play ttrpgs for 30 years and I have never seen this term in the wild like actual things like Railroading. Is only ever used here and strangely at one time range and between ban times.
>>97561203Qt kitty
>>97565719I feel a lot of complaints on "[insert thing you hate]-shit" on /tg/ are the same thing, cause I've never seen anyone sincerely use 'freakshit' outside of 4chan either. Even then, it's so nebulous considering I've seen people complain elves and dwarves are "freakshit" that it's pretty useless as a definition.
>>97560509>I mean, it's expected that DnD settings will be cosmopolitan and accepting so random villagers won't be scared of a half-orc or tiefling hero.Yeah, heavens forfend the players would actually need to roleplay.
>>97561203>>97565769I miss this style of catgirl, where they were something between a human with ears and tail tacked on and just a bipedal animal that only zoophiles would find attractive.
I'm planning to run a space opera TTRPG game with my friends in self-made setting and I decided to go with Traveller, as I found it to be quite what I'm looking for in a game. However, I'm confused as to which edition to pick, they seem to be pretty much similar with a few changes here and there but I'm still not sure which one is right for me. So far I'm stuck between>Classic Traveller>Mongoose 1e/Cepheus Engine>Mongoose 2eI plan to make my own alien species and to allow robot/android characters in it. Also, as I mentioned before, I'm making my own settting and avoiding Third Imperium, just because I want to create something myself. With that in mind, which one is better suited for a game like that?
>>97553048>>97509278Good thread on this.
>>97554403Cheers my dude.
>>97554403>>97554510An excellent suggestion as both are good resources. Add Imperial Squadrons from T4 to that. World Tamer's Handbook from TNE is worth also looking at. It's almost ACKS-like and covers setting up a colony from a high level perspective. Be sure to get the errata for Pocket Empires too, otherwise you'll have trouble running it. T4's shit tier editing makes Mongoose's institutional shoddy efforts look like the OED.

>>97564314Yes, which is where I'm having trouble.So the place is a bakery, and the thing stolen is a very unique heat regulator. It is small enough to be hidden and stashed anywhere.I'm thinking that the people work in shifts in 3 rooms of the bakery (the front, the back, and the oven- where the regulator is kept) I want to say that the regulator being stolen wouldn't be clocked until the bread coming out started to look bad, so there is more ambiguity on who did it There are no time cards so we have to go by witness testimony to corroborate who was where.What do you think? Could you improve on this?
>>97564324Worst part is, fantasy roleplay is just small-fry. If he can't even read a fucking non-biased textbook without warping it into nonsense, realize that these people also build little nests on X or Reddit or /pol/ and they just sit and listen to grifters and propagandists brainwash them. They do the same thing with news and current events. TTRPGs are just the tip of the iceberg, just a microcosm of a much bigger issue going on with our mentally ill populace.
>>97559591I don't understand why a company that employs maybe a handful of people is working on like 3-4 different game lines atm.Like who is Shadowscar or Fossilized Violence even made for besides the designers themselves? Working on a new Witcher game I understand, but why put your cash cow on the back-burner for these unknown lines?Who is the boss at R.Tal? Does anybody put their foot down and veto bad ideas?
>>97565242>it's not the big moneymaker so they shouldn't work on itwhat kind of bullshit wotc attitude is this?they had ideas, they made product. Maybe it succeeds, maybe it fails, that's the market in action.

>>97554113Seen, rightly, as an abomination. Party half elf was nearly lynched by the humans and they are keeping it a secret from the few full blood elves they have met
>>97554113With severe and massive racism
>>97555422Sounds like a mashup of Elder Scrolls and Interspecies Reviewers. Not a bad way to handle it.

>>97562864>>97564312Almost every wargame or RPG can be broken, some can be broken by accident. Reason why tournamentfags are such a bizarre thing for wargames, I can understand people going to an event and wanting some tournament format in order to play with a bunch of people.But the tournament scene that some games have evolve like 40k or Warmachine just look insane to me
When talking about generic fantasy skirmish, no one ever talks about Songs of Blades and Heroes. Any special reason or is it just generally disliked here?I can see some features being disliked. Like the activation method and the overly abstracted stats+traits.
>>97565688As far as I'm aware it's not like Andrea Sfiligoi has made a new edition for years, so it fades from memoryearly /awg/ days I remember it being recommended a lot, both regular and advanced

>>97563201I got into Exalted this year, and this is the way I feel about all of this. Maybe the lore and the art was the writers' magical realm. Maybe the rules were unnecessarily complicated and badly explained. But the 2k1-12 run, and the motion it had at that time was Awesome. Keychain of Creation from 15 years ago is a time capsule of that era, and I love it.

>>97562586oh geez i didnt think of that. Helfie average, taller than an elf, but short than a man.
>>97535783For the robot, the way he's roleplayed is the player SPEAKS.LIKE.THIS. and talks in third person more often than not. He also dislikes civil engineering(his creator forced him to read literature on it) and likes to use violence to slve problems. He very often obliterates doors by knocking on them and specifically asked a halfling to stay around while he was killing the boggarts so his heroic deeds would be noted down.Basically he's a very loud and very proud retarded combat savant. He also worships a god he made up called ''The Eternal Clay'' but he rolled that he was skeptical of its existence somehow, so I guess he's schizophrenic. Then you remember he's 12 feet tall and that sounds kind of scary actually

How come people never use spears as a weapon when making their character? It seems to be a weapon reserved solely for Town Guards for some reason. Spears can be cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxXD7LTAVIQ

>>97565442>I'm not saying that at all,>what can swords do against this?>well they can try to do something>no you cant do something, the enemy will do something else
I just saved that comic because it starts arguments and I think thats funny.
>>97542171I always take a longspear when I play cleric or similar in 3.pf, it's as good as it gets for simple weapons.
>>97563753>They were effective, yes, but in the polearm arms race, there’s always an advantage to having a longer spear.Except when a spear is more than twice your own height, it becomes an incredibly awkward and unwieldy weapon that requires special training to not fuck up with. Pikes (and sarissas, the Macedonian phalanx equivalent) were entirely based on creating walls of spears, like hedgehog spines, and essentially daring your enemy to try and break it. It works especially well against cavalry because their own momentum will kill them on a line of pikes, which is why pike squares became a critical component of medieval forces to deal with the otherwise supremacy of cavalry that could very easily crush most other formations. You could put a pike square on the field for a fraction of the cost of raising a good company of cavaliers, and they were 'good enough' to deal with other infantry so long as you kept them out of the way of crossbows and handgonnes. But it is significantly less effective against heavy infantry (that is to say, well-armored and elite fighters) who were equipped to force their way through such unwieldy lines. One of the better examples would be Romans, who had some of the heaviest armor of their era but more importantly very, very good shields, although they still took heavy casualties against the elite Greek armies. But their casualties were nowhere near as severe as what the Greeks took.

>>97561284It’s less outright manipulation and more herd mentality based on retarded assumptions about growth, as >>97561351 points out. I remember this being a regular occurrence in /vt/ whenever Cover released its quarterly report. Essentially, investors who know nothing about the industry pull an arbitrarily high number out their ass and punish the company for not hitting the mark, even if they’re hitting their own, more reasonable and well-informed, internal targets.

>>97565323>I've lifted your ban.Thanks.>Create an account, post your username in the off-topic thread, and I'll get you appointed.Over my dead body.But seriously, I did mean the question I asked in >>97565189The rules are:3. Try to keep activity here under the auspices of Jumpchain. Tangents are fine.4. Respect the thread rules set in the OP post.And the general thread description says "A thread for general jumpchain discussion and chatting."Given that at any point a lot of the thread's posts are arguably off-topic, there needs to be some guidance for what is actually ban/deletion worthy so Jannington doesn't delete random stuff when he gets bored. Outright ban politics? Fine. Allow more or less all off-topic stuff (the default right now, really)? Also fine. Push all off topic posts to another thread? Also fine. But purely vibes based moderation without any actual rules except "idk keep it vaguely jumpchain related (literally every single topic in the world can be jumpchain related)" is not it.
>>97565383Damn you for not enabling my laziness.But this is basically a "damned no matter what you do" situation. The simplest solution that comes to mind is demodding everyone and just dealing with reports myself. The vibe-modding will at least be more consistent in that case.
>>97565465It would also make sense because the whole reason I added volunteers was to handle the spam while I was AFK, but keeping the board under means no spam.
>>97565465>>97565470That's why I'm saying there need to be actual rules so the jannies can't do whatever they want with no repercussions. You can do a poll or something for a day or two in the thread to see what people prefer.If the current rules stay, that's also fine, but the jannies need to stop deleting "off-topic" stuff beause essentailly nothing is off-topic. Personally, I think most people want to use 1 thread for literally everything - jumpchain, blogposting, lewd stuff, shit that has nothing to do with anything. People are eternally horny but the thread for it is still basically dead because people want or need an audience. But again, this can all be decided democratically, and probably shouldn've been done a while ago. I remember the original lewd "ban"/spoiler mandate was kind of pushed through in a few hours when a lot of people were still afk. Personally I don't mind either way, but it was still weird.
