The elfiest thread!Any system, setting, art or homebrew welcome. We might even tolerate things that aren't technically elves, but are treated and look like elves anyway.
>>96850488Good news: She gets out of Hell.Bad news: She ends in super-Hell.>>96860631At least put her in the funny pose.
>>96860631Fuck, isn't she the party healer?>speaking ofPaladin of my group said they are fine taking the healer role. We'll see how that goes... The class is a half-caster in A5E, even gets cantrips! But no healing word, no source of resurrection magic until Level 9. All healing items tend to be made for clerics or druids, but I could of course bend that a bit. But she's also kinda the party tank, too.
>>96860530>Tolkien probably did it best by giving elves some dignity, and that's despite the fact the man had a bad case of elfwank, to the point all of his works were just an excuse to talk about elves and especially their various languages.?LoTR has various races besides elves. There's no Elf "wank". Other retards which they could do the same level of complexity for them.
>>96860937>At least put her in the funny pose.She is in somewhat Yamcha pose>>96861000>isn't she the party healer?Nah, she's the party's glass canon and picture above is how well 13 AC performs against 32-to-hit and a crit>Paladin of my group said they are fine taking the healer role.Why not?>But she's also kinda the party tank, too.Doesn't base cleric fullfill that role too?
>>96861854>clericDepends on the cleric, not every sub-class gets heavy armor.
>be Imperium>ships never arrive on time>constantly losing planets>barely understand how tech works>made it to M40 only because everyone else in the setting is smaller>still think IOM can beat Galactic Empirewhy 40k fans still think they can beat Star Wars
>>96841267>Could anything in star wars stop the dark eldar raids that steal away whole planets populations?honestly eldar are just basically Vong when you think about it.
>>96857886Jurassic Park.>Life always finds a way.
Power scaling, especially cross-franchise power scaling, seems like the silliest thing. >This wildly different thing from a completely different thing, that doesn't even have the same tone as the first thing, would win in a fightYea, sure, but is getting into nerd fights with strangers on the internet a worthwhile use of your time? Shouldn't you be prepping for the TTRPG you've got scheduled?
>>96861360vong can be literally every 40k xeno, sadistic and race of knife ears running around the galaxy and fighting everyone with a living ships, and also have caste system
>>96861317Nexts are just ACs reaching late-UC power levels for the one time.The only really impressive parts are taking down arms forts (massive boondoggles that can't keep up anymore) and high speed blading (unintentional glitch that got patched out of every other regulation). Otherwise it's mostly just distinct because otherwise AC is a much more technologically basic mecha setting and no one's going to argue the merits of the other games being super duper overpowered or anything.Also ACs get their weapon tracking cut from strong enough ECM. Minovsky particles would be a huge pain in the neck for them.
This underrated and overlooked era (17th century) is ideal for mudcore.> baroque art> plenty of wars> knights with guns> age of sail & colonialism> Spanish Inquisition> mercenary companies> merchants
>>96860275>This underrated and overlooked eraAs an American it's only overlooked because the British colonies were still learning how to farm corn at the time, when I was in Germany it was one of the biggest deals in their history. The Thirty Years War only defined what a country was to them, and defined which German states had sustainable futures. There's a reason that was the basis for the de-facto main characters in WHFB lore and RPGs.

So, the question is - what game does each subsystem best? Alot of Fantasy Heartbreakers have come to market recently and I've been reading some classics like Hackmaster. Part of me wants to staple everything together DTD style.
>>96855008Yes. Nobody was willing to learn anything. It was awful.
>>96850678First five examples are all Victory Points with a different coat of paint.PF2e will always be dogshit for hexploration because you inherently cannot throw the players into an encounter where something vastly outlevels them, or they die.Mythic, "overpowered". Also not possible because everything must be balanced. That book was such a disappointment.Everything else are just bandaids or stuff other systems also have. But these are also the same faggot writers who decided the book that should have been focused hard on wizards, needed to have shit for witches, monks and of course hundreds of pages of their gay slashfiction instead of fleshing out a class they gutted in their "Remaster".
>>96852893Well?

Is CAIN a good system to run? I like a lot of the ideas in it, but the actual crunch on the system feels very loose. If not, is there a similar game to it that would work as well for the setting?
>>96852009This is largely a byproduct of not playtesting the games he designs. He goes off of vibes and what he thinks sounds good, which will get most designers through the basic framework, especially if they're just adapting mechanics from other proven systems. However, because he's either not playtesting, or he's playtesting with crowds of people who will adore anything he makes even if it's ass, he doesn't actually have a good sense for what works in a multi-hour session of gameplay.
>>mentally ill homo millenial's take on westernized jujutsu kaisen>Is this good??????gee idk anon what do you think the only award it wins is somehow making the most homoerotic mainstream shounen even gayer yet somehow managing to appeal to infinitely fewer actual women.

If you created an Amazon setting, what would it be like? By Amazon setting, I don't mean a single society among many where women are primarily the fighters, I mean a setting where every society is this way.
>>96859795>I'd have amazons be a third gender,My best amazons have been like this, I find it actually does a pretty good job of removing some of the inherent cheesecake to the concept, to take them a step away from standard human reproduction cycles. My favorite have been arctic amazons that reproduce, literally, via spores. Focus on archery, hunting, and cold weather survival, and go temporarily sterile if they enter high humidity environments, because the spores get wet. A combination of magical nuclear waste, and an old as fuck, paranoid dragon did it, mostly.
>>96856476>How do the female only races reproduce?With human men. There's no "half" races as a result.This does lead into a lot of conflict between the various groups.
>>96819143What kinds of magic do your Amazons use? Mine mainly stick with healers and priestesses of their goddesses.
>>96860573I remember a long time ago someone posted a battle report that was Amazons vs Beastmen, under the pretense that the beastmen needed wives and the amazons had snubbed them when the beast king proposed the idea to the amazon queen.I remember thinking about how that might work out, if beastmen always sire beastmen and amazons always birth girls, then what happens when they combine? Monstergirls, of course.
>>96829489That something I find interesting is cattleya's husband, Owen, is a huge Conan-like man>>96832094It odd thing that people gloss over, but that not surprising, since queen blade mostly focus on the tits and ass.
What's the better TCG? I only know yugioh because that's the card game everyone in my generation (zoomer) played. I thought MTG was like "the more serious fantasy TCG" and yugioh was for kids but apparently it's just about cowboys and spiderman and gay pride now? So I guess I'm sticking with ygo.
>>96846982Mechanically MtG is the better game, you have no other card game with as much depth and deckbuilding option. But since wizard went full retard and decided to turn it into the fortnite of card game the only way I would recomand playing it is to proxy the cards and make a cube.
>>96847069This desu. But Edison format in YGO is kino. I prefer FAB regardless
>>96847069I mean, the current state of the game can either be Advanced format, where in the most recent banlist they decided to kill a bunch of unfun floodgates that were resulting in non-games, or Genesys format, where people have minimal gripes with it since it does its job and wrangles the game by a hell of a lot and enables people to play some of their older (albeit not ancient) decks. We have a format that insulates people from the worst of the meta, Konami actually paying attention and listening to the community, and the guys handling Genesys being fully (or at least mostly) transparent with their actions in regards to the point list. I would say they're pretty well-off.
I don't know about Yugioh but magic is so fucking unfair. Remove blue from the game
>>96860691Every deck is a little red and a little blue. We have a very direct parallel to blue decks in the form of the Runick archetype, since that's a control deck that likes to exile its opponent's deck with instant speed effects, but other than that it's "a little bit of swarming, a little bit of control" with things leaning one way or another on a deck-by-deck basis. Our Extra Deck (which I'm told is like a 15 card commander zone where you can bring the monsters out as long as their summoning conditions are met) bridges that functionality to an extent as well.And like, make no mistake. Things get homogenized to an extent when you're talking about high meta, but there's a hell of a lot of diversity for everything beneath that. Some decks like to coombo off, some like slower and more methodical control-based setups, some go for beatdown, and THANKFULLY a lot of the hitler-coded stun decks are going out of the game entirely since their cards can easily be abused by all of the above.

Ideas on how to run a folk horror/dark fantasy one-shot set in Eastern Europe? Perhaps set in the times of the bogatyry and the Kievan Rus or Piast Poland (like Baptism of Fire)> inb4 mentioning baba yaga, everbody knows about her> don't give me the vague answer of sending me to read a book on folklore because it's freaking one-shot> not looking for fantasy settings based on Slavic Europe like the Witcher but actual Eastern Europe with a fair degree of historical accuracy
>>96852219>hey, I'm a fucking idiot and have no background knowledge in the subject I want to run a game in, spoonfeed me what I need!>but don't make me actually have to learn anything, I don't want to know about it, I just want my hand held!You're cancer.
>>96856241Honestly, that's a good question. I do have some ideas and knowledge about Eastern Europe, Kievan Rus and Folklore, but I'm not an expert.Idiots like the ones on this thread miss the point. They give you the smug answer of "go read X book" (which they didn't even do themselves, they just recommend what google says), which demands weeks of reading, days of shipping and money... all of that for a one shot, in which I have no confirmed attending players.Someone who actually knows about folklore can explain it to you in clear terms, and point you to specific stuff so you can work from there, like these guys did:>>96853505>>96853563>>96853576>>96853954>>96854016>>96854018>>96856424
A lot of Slavic folklore and culture was intentionally destroyed (or perhaps "sanitized for mass appeal" if you prefer) by the Soviet Union, so a lot of what passes for an understanding of "Russian Culture" is superficial. There was a game released in 2021 called Black Book that might have a vibe you can borrow, but it's set during the final years of the Russian Empire/
>>96852219Play Black Book for a couple of hours and you should probably come away with plenty of ideas.
>>96860559It would take you weeks to read a single book? I'd just quit, dude, you aren't cut out for games.

>>96848419Seladon still needed to sacrifoce herself for all her bullshit.And I guess they were hinting about something big with Deet. Maybe they should just have tied a few loose ends instead of counting on a next season.
>>96858165>And I guess they were hinting about something big with DeetThat felt like pointless sequelbait. I doubt they even knew what they wanted to do with her. Being a prequel, she can't do much with her powers
>>96861161They clearly wanted another season, dunno if they even planned to get to the genocide.I guess no one saw the one executive getting fired (?) and netflix going the rest of the way to shit.
>>96861161I'd hazard that the point with Deet's corruption was to link it to the Emperor's own. I'm not sure why they particularly felt a need to show that the reason the Emperor was dying ahead of the others in the film is because he'd burned himself out on Dark Crystal sorcery. Given the ongoing corruption was shown to be the result of the Skeksis sucking the crystal off to sustain themselves, I suspect (but it's only speculation) that the story was going to show that it wasn't simply reuniting the crystal shard that fixed the Dark Crystal. What cured it of Skeksis fuckery was that the shard they found at the end of season 1 is presumably Gelfling purified as part of trying to fix Deet. It's logical enough, to me, and it was really the most reasonable way I saw around explaining that it wasn't just cracking the crystal that screwed it up.

Rin Anon, If you are around I require your input:Would she try and keep Alyona's idea of an expanded smuggling ring going with the supply she has left with her as the boss?
