ever played as a dragon before? like an actual one and not some gay ass half dragon or some "dragon" that isn't the type you wanted?i last played a dragon a year ago in an eberron campaign (red dragon) overall was fun and wasn't even broken since I made the homebrew myself
>>93248199Thanks for the suggestion. Happy 4th!
>>93248125>Council of Wyrms FINALLY mentioned.>post # 34it took that long for an anon to bring it up? utter proof this board is filled with infants who have zero clue about game historyso much content exists and these toddlers just waddle around cluelessly....i bet the oldest ones came on with 3.5
>>93248725>Easley kinoI love the old dragon stuff but I wasn't born when a lot of it was released. I'm learning.
>>93249005>that's ElmoreI'm learning...
>>93225338What about playing as a Dragonborn or a similar race, has anyone here done that?

>>93253083A bit more like this.
>PiratesCan we make piracy great again? I don't understand why people don't like the idea of freedom, wandering in search of adventures, glory and treasure, this is de facto the usual formula for standard adventurer campaign, but on the sea.
>>93253327Either way, that post was meant to outline the general skeleton points for what could reasonably spur a meaningful influx of pirate activity - chiefly, plenty of booty to go around, a surplus of trained sailors, and not enough naval/governmental power to truly bring the hammer down. The same conditions that allow for bandits on land would allow for pirates at sea. If you want to run a pirate campaign, it's an important place to start.
>>93227538
>>93227186>all while having the freedom to leave and go somewhere else whenever they please.That's a treatable delusion. Sea travel is fucking expensive, that's like letting a starship captain just up and ignore the most recent plot without jacking enough loot to pay the bills.
>>93227165Piracy and necromancy is an underutilized combination in my opinion. Imagine something like the cursed pirates from the first Pirates movie, but without a mind or soul to suffer, or undead sharks that can attack ships from below.
>>93253569Have you tried Pirateborg?It's pretty great. Classic Murdery OSR in a pirates of the Carribean style cursed ocean.

Looking for a cyborg on a motorcycle with a gun for an arm. It was a lead/pewter mini from the 80s or 90s. Anyone ever see it?
>>93243285/awg/ or /grog/ might be a good place to ask.The mini sounds radical and I want to know what it looks like too.
>>93243285They took Elmer Fudds gun? The fuck? Did they also disarm Yosemite Sam?
>>93243285Subject sounds Shodowrunesque; I know Ral Partha had some bikers in their Shadowrun line. Check the Lost Minis wiki.
>>93249571Yes, actually. Per word of artist Ryan Khatam, there were at least one or two shorts that were never completed due to them having too much excessive gunplay and violence in them. It was likely one of the contributing factors to the decision to remove firearms outright in later in development.

So I have a magic user character in this canpaing set in my DM's homebrew system.The system is a work in progress, very freeformish and focused on roleplay. He and another player posted in here a few times Everyone has a set of 20 generic skills, a class with special abilities and 4 hit points. It's fun, at least in my opinion not balanced but very lethal and action heavy.Magic in this system is broken, but intentionally. You create your own spells, with no restrictions but can only cast a number of times equal to your level (I'm level 4 so 4 casts) before resting unless you want to deal with a chance of miscast and very big consequences from corruption to unintended side effects in the spell.My magic user is focused on matter so I gave hom the following spells.-Moving things and people with my mind, typical tk stuff.Comment too long.

>>93247661He posted about it here: https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/92974963Elemental magic works like any other magic, you create a spell and it does what you say it does, there is no spell types or spell schools, there is just magic. All the differences are "men made" and arbitrary.Lore wise all magic comes from a chaotic everchanging energy but the details are left ambiguous on purpose. About your volcano ideia, that's cool but my mage has no connection to fire nor the castle is located in a volcanic region, and... Wouldn't that be more earth related? Since lava is melted rock?
>>93248141I was thinking more about the heat angle than pure flame. Thanks for the link BTW, I’ll keep thinking about your issue specifically, but the bonfire might work if you squint, since fire is the release of energy stored in flammable matter, after all. Just a thought off the top of my head.
>>93239418Is that a reference? It sounds vaguely familiar, but I can’t place it.
>>93237055Maybe you can drop something from high enough that it reaches terminal velocity and bleed off the momentum for a boost?
>>93237085Just make a big weak spot. Ask to go on a significant side adventure to aqquire a (non-combat) relicOr link the castle to like a Tree or garden that grows in the center. So long as the garden is alive the castle floats or fearsOr sine you're a physically matter kinda guy, find a big glowing rock or crystal you can supercharge like a magic magnet.

>>93227173I know nothing at all about OP but I hate the Fortnite artstyle used on the cover, and that by itself makes me despise this game and everything related to it.
>>93250289I won't but I understand your point and I concede that I cannot prove the quality of what I created. But let's be honest, if you've browsed /tg/ homebrew threads, at least 60% of what fa/tg/uys have created on their own, is better than this DC20 slop. It's all marketing.>>93251131No, Pathfinder 2e sucks and turns stupid shit like using your shield into an action that you have to track whether your shield is raised or not. My game will not be "slow as fuck" either and I've also put huge effort into removing bookkeeping from the game as much as I can. It's almost like a mix of 3e D&D and Savage Worlds in terms of how I set up the combat, where there are lots of options, and you can have a huge battle where you don't need to track health for most of the minor combatants (but no 1 hp minions like from 4e, cause i didn't like every hit guaranteeing a kill) but you still can have a meaty battle with a damage sponge final boss if you want to.

>>93250901Yes. That’s a mechanic in CoC in fact. When you take enough Sanity damage to induce insanity, you can roll intelligence and, if you fail, you suppress/don’t fully understand what happened and don’t lose sanity or go crazy. In Lovecraft’s original The Call of Cthulhu, Cthulhu’s psychic messages only took hold on artists and academics (and that latter group less so), while common folk suffered no ill effect. In other words, you need a level of intelligence and abstract thinking to go crazy.
Everything Memento Morigofile (DOT) io/d/NFlWLYIt's really depressing I'll never get to run or play this as everyone is so busy with 5E.

Been Through Hell Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo dieselpunk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?https://www.trenchcrusade.com/Grab the playtest rules and the lore primer here and check the FAQ for any other basic questions you might have.>third party sources for making trenchers:https://pastebin.com/YzXPVUAcComment too long.

>>93250846Not him but rule of cool. Same reason why hell knights have suits of armour. To be honest, any aesthetic of Japan prior to WW1 or WW2 is far better than how they looked during the world wars.

>>93249815>allowedNo one is going to stop you from being a lame faggot and painting grimdark WW1 muddy trench soldiers in bright faggy 'eavy metal style with meme edge highlights - you're allowed to have bad taste! Most opponents probably won't even call you a prancing lala homo fruit out loud when they see you put those models down across from them on the table, we'll just think it quietly in our heads out of politeness! You can make your models as inferior as you like, it's all completely up to you buddy.
>>93250846Other anon pretty much said it >>93251514I had the thought of "Sultanate" but Japanese with Youkai/Oni as the Alchemical abominations, and these minis looked good. I was pretty torn between these or pic related, but the latter felt a little too Imperial Guard-y. I also felt like the Tanegashima were a good Jezzail equivelant.

>>93251889More of a gay WIP writing exercise than a properly developed setting for a tabletop but>Why does YOUR setting have Mechs? Cold, highly mountainous planet with extensive alpine terrain; tracked vehicles find their niches depending on the local terrain (tanks, APCs and the like remain a mainstay, just not nearly to the degree they do in our world) while wheeled vehicles are almost exclusively restricted to purpose-built roadways, urban zones or rare flatlands such as cold deserts and coastal regions. Hence, mechs became a go-to.>What technology made them practical?Mechs developed naturally with the technology of the times due to their sheer usefulness and nigh-necessity, but the degree of articulation possible was limited to slightly-above-forklift-operation levels by existing control interfaces - the breakthrough development of invasive brain-machine interfaces allowed a pilot to exercise far greater control over their mech's movements, and installation of an ECoGI2 ("e-cogito" in unofficial, butchered parlance) became one of the distinctive signs of a mech pilot.>Who made them?They first showed up in the agricultural sector, developed by private corporations as specialized equipment ("agrimechs") for tending to terraced farmsteads. The mining, construction and heavy equipment industries proceeded to create their own versions, and variants for military use would come not too long afterwards.Very basic proof-of-concept 'walker' designs lacking specific use cases, the ancestors of the modern mech, existed even further before then.>Where were they made/are they made?Across the globe, greatly varying in quality, purpose and design. Generally, 'new' designs are innovative iterations of preexisting models due to a wider global technological decline. The practice of "garage-chopping" civilian mechs for warfare is widespread for a similar reason, especially among less well-off countries, paramilitaries or unsponsored mercenary companies.
>>93252662I like it! Seems to have a natural development cycle, fits the world that made them and has an application that is believable. Neat!
So I was thinking about making a new RPG that is basically a dice pool system.The lore is interesting however I want to know if the combat is OK so what does /tg/ think?I start posting character archetypes since [REDACTED] [CENSORED] [CENSORED] [CENSORED] Basically the game has every player have a human character(summoner) who also summons and controls a Yokai (magic beast).Yokai combat basically happens at the same time and here are some basic classes/archetypes you can wrap into whatever fluff you made up for your character.

This old fart is not a good writer. he's a fucking setting thief. Every time he's offered to write a 40k book, he doesn't decline it because he wants to explore his own material, he accepts the offer, takes the money. And writes his own material. Every time he ignores the gigabytes of established 40k lore to insert his own ideas that are completely alien to the universe, be that enuncia or perpetuals, and makes them central to the plot. The actual 40k lore serves as window dressing to his original novels about original concepts that have no place in 40k. And he's not a good writer. he writes light novel action schlock without any themes to it.
This dude took expectation subversion to a whole new level and basically killed a lot of the myth that made the Horus Heresy cool.
>>93243391Personally I like Abnett's long drawn out descriptions of stuff.

>>93248214Abnett played the end of the series completely straight, how is that subversion?
>>93246540>>93246552Couldn't he say no? Delay a little and say "look we got 40 more books to go, maybe I should use only 2 of those ideas now and go back to the other two in the next book". Is there some unwritten rule that writers cannot go back on what they offer to editors?I got the impression his editors said yes more than once, problably always. No wonder his books got weirder as they went to the point we got fucking Erda at the fucking eleventh hour.
