You know in hindsight the funny b8 name I used to get people who wanted to fight me into Loup country might have been a poor choice. So... Last night when we were staking out the Hunter Clan? Gün vanished and came back with a kid.'Regular' human kid. Age 13 with a remarkable tolerance for resisting Loup terror. Among other things. Gave us some intelligence on his familial group of hunters. A trio of brothers, a 'great aunt' not related by blood, as well as an orphaned cousin of the kid, and the kid's mother. We're calling this kid Five-Eyes, as that was the cognomen Mèo assigned her. She's been driving the Hunters up the wall as while she hasn't 'lied' Mèo has been creative. Also kind of broke down Five-Eyes' worldview that all supernaturals are all man-eating abominations. Our captured fledgling who has requested he never be forced to the name 'Dustin' ever again will also get a cognomen; 'Sorcerer.' The Hunter kid's testimony got him screaming about the housing market and that he hate's mankind more than even the 'Pyromaniac's flee-bitten Groupies' and had a full on breakdown when he realized we aren't even with the Camarilla. Ignis eventually showed great restraint and was 'the better woman.' After several creative curses such as 'you dress like a cattle baron and act like Tremere himself pissed in your Cheerio's.'Still don't know what we're doing with him as Ignis 'consigned him to exist rather than grant him an easy escape.' And the plan Five-Eyes and Mèo concocted is a stretch. Even for me. But clan have things that counter Obfuscate apparently, along with a frankly distressing amount of guns, emergency Vitae, and silver dust explosives. Attacking them directly is not an option, so, we'll see if they bite for a 'trade.'
>>97795371Just don't get too comfortable, you are in a cold war space and vulnerable.>>97795972Ironically the best advice also applies to regular horses. Diligent training, routine infusions, stress practice, ensuring they get enough space and work they don't just start killing small animals out of boredom. I'll admit though where I've walked the practice wasn't used much. Horse and Cattle ranching up north aren't easy.>>97798428There is an active competition for worst mistake of the Sabbat in the past century. Letting Trems in and letting them keep shitty tumorous fiefdoms is up there. House Gorgon was barely compliant with the Sabbat doctrine and two steps away from starting up the Blood-Bond human-centipede. It's real easy to run into dipshits when some people crank them out at record pace. They're most of Portland and half of Seattle. They just happen to be in competition with the 'let me make the Camarilla but shittier' crowd who I detest more.
>>97791350Live long enough and you eventually just find ways to keep yourself busy.Most of which make your neighbours want to toss you in a mine shaft.
Imagine being a kine, bold enough to capture a cainite, and you end up nabbing a Malkavian.It would be like winning the lottery and you receive a live crab for your fortune.
>>97798669This sounds like practical advice, I wasn't particularly trying to change the horses nature. I didn't want a new animal, just an improved one. Then again, I haven't considered the speeds possible for the Destriers that the stripper mentioned. Either way I don't have the privacy I really need to do the work and I want to do the work.

Rafael refusing to use the Orichalchos seal meant this entire duel was pointless from the very beginning because if the Seal isnt in active use this is literally just a duel which means Yami doesnt even need to win or lose this duel because it doesnt matter. He could have forfeited mid duel and nothing would have happened since he would have called Rafael's bluff and they both would have went on their separate ways. I get that Yami doesnt want Rafael to escape since he needs information on where to find Dartz hideout but what should have happened is Rafael should have used the Orichalchos magic to make it so when Yami is forced into an Orichalchos duel he permanently has a copy in his deck that will be destiny drawed into his hand. That way it creates a scenario where Rafael can truly test Yami's devotion to not peer pressuring himself into evil temptation and create drama where Yami has to consider if using the seals power is worth it to avoid being sent to the Shadow Realm.
>>97802648Dartz is stupid because he should've just used his Orichalcos magic to put the cards in everyones' decks so that he could collect souls on a massive scale instead of leaving it up to his small number of lackeys. Why didn't he just use his Orichalcos powers to put the card in everyones' decks so he could collect souls on a massive scale?Oh yeah, that's right. It's because the anime never once insisted that they could just make the card randomly manifest in peoples' decks, and you are fucking retarded.

What's the worst -punk aesthetic? Steampunk, clockpunk, what?
>>97802365Brutalism is from the '50s-'70s, part of the post-war reconstruction. That's a little outside dieselpunk's window, which - need I remind you - loves art deco.
>>97802680Proto-brutalism had its beginnings in the 30s into the 40s with buildings like the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, the Auschwitz prison (particularly the distinct fence), and German flak towers whose design features would all serve the basis of what is generically called "totalitarian architecture" that the 50s' contributions would continue mostly from the Soviets before the UK codified it into the form we know today.You see works like TNO (both the HoI and Wolfenstein version) use it because it's an easy shorthand for "villain lair" in contrast to the racy excitement art deco wants to evoke.
>>97802721Proto-Brutalism is Futurist. >>97802365It was inspired by Italian Futurism used by the Italian Fascists specifically.
Good thread, folks. Lots of genuinely good discussion and introduction of ideas.
One last video for the road. Since the thread started with steampunk, may as well end with it (or at least something in its ballpark).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2h1Mtcn9VQ
Simple rule to improve and balance wizards in OSR games: they can only memorize one casting of a given spell per day. You have 3 third level slots? You can cast one Fireball, not 2 or 3. Don't know any other 3rd level spells? Better go find some spellbooks. Hope you make your % chance to learn spell rolls (I won't bother addressing faggots who let wizards automatically learn new spells). God forbid you have to get more creative with your casting.
>>97801387>>which systems do you dislike?Way to rephrase his question man. He didn't ask you which settings in palladium you didn't like he asked you which rules you think are dog shit specifically. nice avoiding his question though, and proof you've never actually read the rules, you sound like a college leftist saying mien kompf was poorly written but cant name a turn of phrase or any part of its contents that they actually don't like.we you programmed to hate Rifts by a youtuber or reddit or some old forum post that you thought was funny?
>>97802354Nta but I dislike how you move slower the more actions you have
>>97802451I also don't like that 4 missiles is flat out un-dodgeableI don't like that ap is somehow worse vs armor I don't like the "hit on 4+, then they roll to dodge" system, especially combined with AR
>>97793766Misguidedly pursuing flawless, tournament play balance is how D&D ended up how it is today. Wizards are overpowered and believed to be rightfully so because the designers thought that was more "balanced" since Fighters can't run out of attacks or Rogue's can't run out of backstabs per day. D&D, but less consumed by a need for "balance" would have weaker wizards, but with more exploitable spells.
>>97800879Weird so how'd they solve it? >looks at general, doing greatoh by kicking your ass out.

>>97799543>Little ninjas, how have you been spending your downtime so far in between classes? Midterms are right around the corner, so you better have been forming friendships!Nana's sure been busy these last six months!Socialization, subterfuge, and stealth training are all a constant, and I think Nana's made good improvements since the start of the year. Hell, she's finally been able to invite classmates to hang out... without Momika there (results may vary)! She's still introverted, but she's learning enough from her mistakes to start to act like a regular shy person most of the time instead of a turbo autist. A far cry from being the charming socialite Momika is, but it's progress. Ayane is Nana's most regular socialization training partner, with Kosshi being the one Nana goes to to try to put her training into practice. Very likely to little success.Aside from that, she's also started on her drone work for Dogen in exchange for his help with learning how to deal with her summons. It's like an internship since she doesn't get paid to do it. You can often find her running messages or fetching things for Dogen when she isn't doing the more monotonous work since she's surely been taught how to properly read and write by this point.And then there's her own dorm room. Being the sole cleaner in the three person room likely takes a good chunk of her time since Momika and Ayane want to be treated like nobles.But when she finally has time to herself, Nana can spend her time fishing at the beach. Rest and food.>>97801755Do you think there'd be any give during the last 6 months from Kosshi in regards to friendship assaults? Is Kosshi less or more suspicious if it's just Nana instead of Momika and Nana?>>97802250>There will be a phase where he starst asking strange questions about normal life and sometimes chakra and energyA collection of random questions he asks people would be fun, could be a prompt people could give in character answers to if they wanted to.

>>97800738Well, usually I’m the GM.So… yes, it’s basically part of my job at the table to find creative and fun ways to completely fuck up PC plans.I mean nobody wants to spend 4-hours every week of “your characters set out to do a thing, and they do it”. I mean, the players may think they want that, but they don’t. It’s boring.So somebody’s gotta throw the odd unreasonable murderhobo, pillaging Orcs, or spiteful BBEG with a personal vendetta to complicate the fuck out of PC plans.

You like kobolds? Meepo is the best kobold
>>97801467The one with the dragon who nerds out over weapons? Where the main character is some kind of knight in a slavic or at least bohemian nation? And there's a brothel full of kobold chicks with a kobold matron, that the knight visits with a lecherous bard?It was called Trash Knight. It's been dead for ages. Didn't make it much farther than the brothel being burned down by what appeared to be invading mongols.https://imgur.com/gallery/trash-knight-dump-1-67-V9xpDnt
Meepo really is a much more koboldy looking kobold than any of the D&D kobolds. WoW kobolds are a close second.

So, I'm playing wizard in 3.5 for the first time, and I am still trying to get the whole preplanning thing down.The issue in the future that I'm planning for is what seems like an inevitable space voyage to blow up a giant death god's head as it rockets towards the planet our setting is on.What I'm looking for is spells that would be helpful in space, and/or a vacuum, I already know about create air, but are there spells that can:- Help project our melee fighters forward like thrusters- Help drill a hole down into the insides of the head- Be used to make a giant bomb to blow it up like in ArmageddonIt should be noted that positive energy will not be useful, since something with the giant death head is interfering with it.Also, my name and the picture are in memory of Ralph, my late familiar who died in the line of duty.
I guess to bump the thread, I'll talk a little about the campaign so far.My wizard, Russel Wellbrook, is a Sun Elf magic college student with crippling student debt(to the point that it passively been acting as a mind-reading deterrent) has been traveling with an anthropomorphic moth, Astarri, that cannot speak proper common.We had a Dwarven Paladin(Baul-mail) and a Kenku Sword sage[Hue](one of the members wanted to play with the book of Weeaboo fighting magic), but one died from an incident involving an exploding obsidian and a magically trapped chandelier, and our Kenku was utterly destroyed by a couple Yaun-ti after he got spiked into a green goo pit that just ruined his constitution score.They have since been replaced by a underdark pixie thing we saved from the Drow(Oneirus Novox), and a paladin of a neutral death god(forgot the god's name, but his name is Ken).>>97800029My build is currently on the Keeper of the Cerulean Sign class, AKA the fuck abberations mage.
>>97799738is this giant head a creature or an object?
>>97800812It's the decapitated head of a death god, so it's probably a creature?
Honestly, I'm stump on how to proceed with my research, the Planar handbook had nothing of value, and I don't know if I should try and see about translating spells to 3.5, seeing as spells are the easiest to transfer over and 2nd and 5th edition has spelljammer stuff in them.Honestly, any ideas for magical items to purchase or create would be helpful too.
>>97799738>Help project our melee fighters forward like thrustersUse an amulet of flight or whatever, those never mentioned needing an atmosphere to work>Help drill a hole down into the insides of the headSunbeam deals 1d6 per caster level to undead, your death god probably counts considering he's decapitated. 60 foot line, repeating lines>Be used to make a giant bomb to blow it up like in ArmageddonBook full of explosive runes and/or a shitload of Delayed Blast Fireballs

>>97797418I've always liked this simple Yes/No oracle. I also have a "Random Adjectives" table that I really like that I got out of a Mutants & Masterminds book.I also have a "List of Desires" oracle that I use to generate ideas for quests.

>>97801637>when I get a plain "no" answer I go "Well, now I don't know what"This used to bother me a lot when I was first starting out as a solo player. But then I realized that just like that sometimes happens in real life, it can happen to our characters too. If an oracle leads you to a road bump, you should take it as a moment where your character has run out of options or where the story has come to a temporary conclusion, and you should explore, "Well, what would my character do if they ran into this block? What would they do instead?"One time I was running a detective game and I ran out of clues and ideas. At first I was like, "Well, what the fuck do I do?" But then I let it play out as a failure on my investigator's part. This was a case that went cold... Then in-game months later, after several other cases, he was allowed to investigate it again with fresh eyes, and it was kind of exciting, because it was like a cold case being brought back into light.Turn a weakness into strength. Turn writer's block into a character analysis.
