>The Skaven are an incredibly numerous, widespread and fractious race>The Skaven all live under the authority of the Council of Thirteen and worship the Horned RatMake it make sense.
>>98840996Wild rats apparently also tend to live in groups of about 13 individuals, which I don't think is a coincidence here.
>>98827777It's Warhammer. Nothing in that setting makes sense when you poke it with the slightest bit of intelligence. It's a wargame, and any 'setting' it has has to be shoehorned in, so it will never make sense.
Maybe it's like how a lot of real dictatorial regimes like Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union deliberately encouraged infighting either to promote survival of the fittest or to prevent the lower ranks from uniting against the leadership.
>>98840979>>98841800OTOH, there were some Germans who resisted Nazism because they opposed the ideology rather than simply wanting to be the ones in charge.
>>98827777it is only through great treachery and cruelty that the Great Horned Rat and the Council of Thirteen are able to exercise anything so much as resembling authority over the numerous, widespread and fractious skaven.>>98840996>itself link to the purge of the Knights Templar by the Papacym8 it goes back even further than that, try counting how many people were at The Last Supper sometime (hint: there is 1 Jesus and 12 Apostles)
If the Eldar are so worried about their souls being taken by Slaanesh, why don't they just devote themselves to one of the other three Ruinous Powers? Are they stupid?
If Khaine can't protect them what makes you think other gods can?
>>98830783No, well, they kinda are, but in this instance they are not stupid, that’s why they aren’t making deals with the other ruinous powers.They already know that the other 3 are still offering shit deals that might, MIGHT, offer short term gains or momentary relief, but in the long run, serving any of them will leave them in a worse place than whatever shit they were in when they made the deal, but with now with no “out”.And to be honest, I kinda question your own critical thinking and reading comprehension skills if you haven’t figured it out yet that out yet yourself.
>>98840195>The Emperor doesn't save peopleI have bad news for you, because thanks to the many, many years of publishing, yes there are things that say he does in fact save people. Albeit "saved" is a euphemism for "their souls are absorbed into the blinding pillar of shining golden souls that is the Emperor within the Warp" but they do get absorbed by him, not just eaten by daemons.
>ITT: people responding to an obvious shitpost like it's a legitimate questionI knew a lot of autists liked TTRPGs, but goddamn. I'm literally autistic and I saw this for what it is.
>>98843547Some people are bored, see something tangential to what they actually want to talk about, and dive in. Taking the bait has no consequences.That aside, I have only skimmed eldar codices, so i have no idea why craftworlders, exodites, and outcasts are damned when they weren't directly involved with the creation of slaanesh. They have moral culpability for not tardwrangling their cousins, but how can slaanesh claim them if they didn't participate?

>>98826707I feel bad now for not giving this more credit, this is a great design with an appropriate name and role, Tripod Mech C3 gangs could really do a lot of damage and this is the leader type of that setup.
>>98838851This challenge made me reevaluate tripods honestly. There are some good ideas here and the rules, unlike LANs don't cripple the idea and make them valid and interesting. We really need a quad centuar now as tripods prove you could do it.
>>98838892It would be neat if tripods avoided the refire penalty as well because three-leg stability and whatnot.

I think everyone has seen yugioh is basically dead and a ftk complete mess, this sounds like they are going nuclear. 34 bans 8 limits, basically unhead of in any card game Will this be enough to get anyone to try playing it again, riftbound seemed like the last nail in their coffin in market share in the west
>>98842715>Droll limitedLOOOOOL fuck this shitty ass game, there goes one of the best forms of actual counterplay and interactivity!
>>98842715>Droll limit Tomorrow's part better be massacre because killing droll does more harm then good
>>98842882The problem with Droll is that the player that goes first can use it. It stops Charmies and if you don't use it on your turn, you can use it on your opponent's turn. It should get banned and a new version that has restrictions similiar to the Mulcharmies should be printed.
>>98842882>>98842892Droll is a bandaid fix that allows Konami to indefinitely put off confronting their newer cards' bad game design. Limiting Droll means that they'll be forced to actually confront the problems with the way they design cards. It will be a net positive in the long run.

>>98780920Forever Winter still has all national governments fighting amongst each other on autopilot. In this setting the survivors are essentially stateless, with city-states that did rise up starting to collapse as the freezing temperatures spread down from the poles. Everyone is migrating to the warmlands around the equator, or to geographic features that might let them survive better. I sort of envisioned it as a combination of Banner Saga, Battlestar Galactica and The Road but with giant robots. One of the conceits would be that the players are each members of a clan within a larger tribe that has been surviving up in Canada for a century or two, and now are being driven south by renegade drones under a malevolent AI and the creeping permawinter. Each clan has its sort of totemic war-mech, and the player is really more playing the mech than their actual character, who might die or age out. The mech can almost always be salvaged and repaired, but pilots can get slimed pretty easy in Heavy Gear is something goes wrong.That said yeah it'd be hard to have missed Forever Winter while having this idea. Always a bit miffed that the vidya doesn't have much winter in it though, also it runs awful. Bit too transhuman for my taste as well. Also imagined the robots being a bit smaller, like post-apocalyptic VOTOMs.

How do you create that JRPG feeling for your games?
>>98839838Play Anime 5e, which has no actual relationship to 5e D&D.
>>98840711>THAT is when you reveal that the whole thing is an illusion made by an evil god to keep people complacent, none of the people you've met are strictly speaking real, they're all extensions of the illusionSounds like /tg/.
>>98839838Well, you have to pick a flavor of JRPG. A Final Fantasy is not the same as a Dragon Quest, and so on. They might seem similar on the surface, but they have different tropes and tones and formulas, and if you mix and match them you'll just end up with a mess that doesn't feel like anything at all. Pick a recipe you are trying to follow, and then put your own spin on it.
I dont because people that like "japanese thing" as a genre are braindead.
>>98839838I don't. I never liked the feeling JRPGs have. >awful UI design always decades behind every other game genre>overly focused on overly tacky costume for gear with the illusion of variety because every design is equally busy looking and costumey.>extremely mid classes, spells, abilities, etc. Everything cliche or common to RPGs is poorly implemented, and everything novel is only superficially differentJRPGs seemed to have souls up to the 90s, but everything from 2000 onward is soulless. >>98840711this here.

>>98778021Its over priced for what they offer by a wide margin.GW has always been expensive, however in years past it was justifiable due to the fact that GW models were 1 Highly detaild2 Very easy to build3 High durbility due to being made of plastic. Most other model companies about 15-10 years ago could not match GW in all three of those catagories, at best they could get two of them, so when you paid those premium prices, you got a legit premium product. However, this is not 15 years ago, model creating technology has caught up, and GW has lost quality in some areas. Now GW models are still highly detailed, but they are not longer the easiest models to build in some cases they are a royal pain in the ass for no real reason. They still have durbility on their side as well, however, so do other companies now.Many other companies have detail, durbility, and buildability, for a fraction of the cost of a GW model, just look at the Pro gundam models, FFS some of they come printed on sprue able to articulate.Comment too long.

Can anyone explain how Dungeon Fantasy Companion 2 got it's value for the Bulky disadvantage?>Bulky: Your SM +1 gives enemies +1 to attack and Vision rolls against you. You need five times the usual amount of food (meaning $30 and 7.5 lbs. of rations daily). If you get armor made, body and leg protection cost and weigh double (head, arm, and hand armor are unaffected), and you cannot have foot armor. The GM may rule that if a horse couldn’t negotiate a gap, tunnel, bridge, etc., neither can you.I'm trying to make a big fat harpy (also SM +1) template, and I'd like them to have their own version of bulky.
>>98840369The effects seem to just be those of SM +1 made a bit more explicit.The centaur has 70 points in ST (including lifting and striking ST) and SM +1 would usually give a 10% discount on that, but that's far from the -35 in the template.Possibly they just made it up, based on the notion that size is actually worth more than the zero points GURPS usually charges for it.
>>98840915In that case I'm just gonna port it to my Harpy template with a few alterations and leave at that.I am using the Dragon's Crown harpy which is more like a birdtaur anyway, they just got the torso of a human, everything else is bird.
>>98840369These two are for sure part of it: >Increased Consumption 2 [-20]>Horizontal [-10] (has Hooves (aka Claws) [+3], so the damage penalty doesn't apply)With the 10% discount for the ST >>98840915 mentioned, it would be close enough to the [-35] for DFRPG work
