What are the essentials of a sword and sorcery setting? What sets it apart from other fantasy genres in setting and tone?
>>97022267>PNGSpotted the italian itt, kek.Anyways chatgpt is generally good enough if you know how to frame your requests.
>>97025377Hey, apparently OG Cimmerians were (likely) people in nowdays Campania (the mists being fog from volcanoes, Strabo says that much). The identification with steppe people came to be later.You are now imagining Conan singing Funiculì Funiculà
>>97025377Forgive a dumb anglophone, but what is meant by PNG in this case?
>>97028843Personaggio (character)NonGiocante (playing)
>>97028888Oh npc. Thank you italy friend.
Game Title:SHATTERFRONT: Wars Across a Broken TimelineCore Pitch>Shatterfront is a mid-scale sci-fi/fantasy wargame (40–60 models a side) with:>Simple core rules: 3–4 stats per unit, alternate activations, roll-to-hit / roll-to-save on D6s, no nested sub-systems.>High skill ceiling: The battlefield exists in three linked time-slices—Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. You win by controlling the war in four dimensions: position, firepower, and when you commit them.>Unique hook: Time isn’t just lore. The board is literally tripled, and your units, terrain, and objectives all interact across those boards in clean, physical ways. The trick is: the time rules are only about three pages and live on a one-page reference.>Think “Warhammer-size game” with the tactical feel of a skirmish game, but your “flanks” are Past and Future instead of just left and right.Setting & Tone>The universe fractured when the Shatterfront, a weaponized temporal storm, tore the timeline into overlapping “sheets.” Armies from rival epochs bleed into the same war:Comment too long.

>>97026517What sloppa creators don't seem to understand is that other people can create their own sloppa for free. Thus, they have no reason to pay for your sloppa.
With all due respect I'm not reading all that slop.I will bother to read your prompt and discuss that if you post it
>So anon are you ready to back my kickstarter?
>>97027664I wonder if one day someone could use an AI to specifically make knockoff sloppa of someone else's sloppa and watch them flail about screaming about copyright violation
>>97028769>to specifically make knockoff sloppa of someone else's sloppaIncluding making the AI look up how close it can get without legally counting as copyright infringement.
Instead of orcs. Rabbits.
>>97024636They also wear poop for boots
>>97026108Just like dogs during mud season.
>>96841495my dog once killed a rabbit merely by licking itI've also seen one dying from hailand another one died because the salad he ate was wet
>>97023209Not a fan of that version in the game, but paying through Odin Sphere made me start looking up if D&D never used "medieval scripture rabbits" as a race of monsters. Imagine my annoyance when I only found it as a 5e thing.
>>96841495So, rabbits should be kobolds.
What kind of rations does your party typically bring?
>>96985959You know that Grung doesn't actually make that, right? He's got some gnomes stashed somewhere that churn those little packets out.
Lembus Bread
>>96983630>What kind of rations does your party typically bring?Whatever fresh food was available at the last town we were in and whatever tasty animals weren't too far out of the way to collect for the potWhatever dry goods were available in the last place we needed to stock upA month's worth of iron rations, which are mostly what the party eats while delving because anyone dumb enough to cook in a dungeon deserves to get eatenThere's a pony to pull the cart and one of the hirelings does the cooking.
>>97020397See, Tolkien knew that even though Hobbits might have rich culinary culture, none of that matters out on adventure where you're obviously eating magical super-rations because nobody can be bothered dealing with logistics of securing proper food.

>>97024116There was a short one-shot back in the day, not sure where it was originally published (in B&W) but there was a colour reprint in the Warhammer Monthly magazine
>>97021346thats a real oldfag pic i remember seeing that on here back in like 2010. (i lost my harddrive that had all the old /tg/ images i saved on it) this is my first time back in years crazy seeing that.

>>97027235It surprises you that there are oldfags in the thread specifically for oldfags?
Wonder if this guy's gun was meant to be the Space Wolves' version of a Combi-Bolter (Bolter that can fire as a Storm Bolter once per-game)
You ever wonder how much of a difference, realistically speaking, a single individual can make in a war?

How petty and cruel are the gods in your games?
>>97019505We got another seething bald person!
>>97023962Yeah, in a filthy, primitive age where people don't live past 50, I wonder where the bar is for "young". Whether they're 10 year old dumbass children or 16 year old dumbass teenagers or 26 year old dumbass men though, the guy still used his evil devil magic to murder a bunch of people for being obnoxious. Not a terribly christ-like reason to kill a kid.
>>97025963It's not your place to judge the creator's moralitynot throwing bears at obnoxious kids might as well land you in hell
>>97026036I'm gonna go ahead and just MAKE IT my place to judge middle eastern gods of the shit-dwelling sand-people. the superstitions of savages are petty and trite and reflect the meagre desires and vision of a people that don't know where the sun goes at night, so OF COURSE their god has all of the same obsessions and values, wisdom and maturity of a saudi goat fucker.
>>97019505So, they were just 4channing IRL?
>And then the Phyrexians invaded ALL OF THE PLANES all at once! They got their asses kicked by the nu-walker superhero team, not because they spread their forces too thin!>And then triangular portals started appearing all over the multiverse! Everyone decided to go to this uninhabited, barren desert plane to colonize it! And everyone dressed up like cowboys!>And then everyone decided to do a Mario Kart grand prix all over the multiverse! The evil moth demon house VALGAVOTH tried to eat the multiverse by sponsoring a team of demon-possessed racers, but lost! And the Egyptian Amonkhet guys won the race despite using only chariots!>And then there was a sci-fi universe all around the Blind Eternities all this time, with spaceships and FTL!>And then spiders were suddenly important all over the whole multiverse, with spider heroes and spider villains and symbiotes!How would you fix Magic's storyline?
>>97022245>clearly say Magic is worthless>"yOu LoVe MaGiC!!1!"Someone come get their bot, it's clearly broken and retarded.
>>97022270>m-m-magic is worthless I didn't collect 389 copies of one piece meets spiderman for my goon cave
>>97022358
>>97009575I know right. It's funny cause it was a a black nation beforehand just now it's this Turkish/arabian nation over black knights and all. Mind you, if you put a white guy in the armor or region they would make such a fucking big deal about it. However cry racism if they don't have a strong black and/or gay person in every plane, kingdom, etc.
>>97025154The funniest part is that the people crying racism are always the most pale inbred sewer rats who have obviously never been forced to associate with anyone but their fellow tribe members.
Anybody wanna show off their armies?Individual models get a lot of love, and rightly so, but how about a thread to show a cohesive vision of the whole gang of mydudes?I’ll post mine, I like AOS.
>>96964676Coolest army so far.
>>97026091Not really relevant to the rest of the thread but man do it miss forums. I know a lot of them are still technically trudging along but this place and mainly reddit centralized a lot of the discussions. Has its advantages of course, but I do miss the more widespread forum cultures of old.
>>96964676where are these doods from
>>97028487the skellies are Crooked Dice, the knight is Diehard Miniatures.
>>97028630thanks!
i am going to use a.i to develop an RPG in my spare time because I use a.i a loti use a.i every day so I can make around ten or so things a day, and refine them.it is called ROACH
>>97024441so is one written by op, might as well not waste time doing it and get his dopamine fix now
>>97026667He's going to waste far more time fixing all the warped text the AI spat out. Most of it looks like it got left too long in the wash.

>>97024332>>97024358>>97024391I really like your idea, and especially like the fact that it seems to use the d20 system/D&D 3.5e, but you should use actual tables rather than images for the class progression table. You can mostly accurately recreate the D&D 3.5e formatting using a google drive table or dandwiki's editor (which would also be a good place to publish your supplement). If you don't know what to write, just ask chatgpt or deepseek to give you ideas, but you should really only use AI images for art, and have all text be typed in order for it to be readable and actually make sense.>>97024937This confirmed a lot of my anecdotal biases, ever since middle school (my california middle school and high school were both ultra-pozzed, although AI only really emerged when I was in high school) the primary arguments against genetic engineering/AI that I heard were all made within an egalitarian framework that feared the creation of the ultimate specimen and claimed that statistics should be ignored to protect minorities. The only time when transhumanism was presented as good was when a troon was giving a tedtalk about prosthetic genitals (which was paired with more bioethicist propaganda about how we need regulations), which was part of what made me into a chud in middle school. Roko's Basilisk will send troons to the torment nexus.
What are fowlfolk like in your settings /tg/?
>>97025662oh my god

>>97025609mainly it became clunky when describing a female i.e. "Lizardman Woman"

>be me>DM makes shit up, point out what the rules actually say without ulterior motives of gaining advantage ingame>DM: REEEE STOP RULES LAWYERING!11Why shit DMs do this? I literally provided the page number, look it up. Pic AIslop of "fat smug nerd".
>>97025400Shadowdark, and similar indie rpgs are trying to recapture those early days of brutal RPGs, and have been widely successful. Mork Borg and DCC are also popular. None of these games comes with the sense of entitlement present in 5e.
>>97025165That OP pic is way too flattering to the true appearance of a FatSmugNerd. It doesn't capture the desperation, the dirty eyeglasses, the autistic stare, the social confusion, the chins, the questionable patches and pins on his bookbag, the bouts of uncontrolled rage. No, the FatSmugNerd is a product of our world. He belongs in World of Darkness or Unknown Armies, where he can be lovingly illustrated by an artist who understands what creatures our world has produced.
>>97027497>None of these games comes with the sense of entitlement present in 5e.Is there a single other game that does?
>>97015143>point out what the rules actually say>DMpage 6 of the phb describes the how to play as:>How to play>1. The DM describes the environment. [...]>2. The players describe what they want to do. [...]>3. The DM narrates the results of the adventurers' actions. [...]>Often the action of an adventure takes place in the imagination of the players and DMThe rules state thatt the DM's job is to make shit up, tell you, hear your input and make more shit up.
