>started out having to roll a percentage dice to randomly determine whether a character is psionic or not, and could get massively fucked over if you rolled low on psionic points>then graduates to a full fledged class>never adapted into any of the video games>then gets replaced by mystic which apparently was so bad everyone bans it from their games>now reduced to subclasses of other classesWhat went wrong? Psychics are cool. It shouldn't be that hard to have a psychic class.
>>98315322>never adapted into any of the videogamesPretty sure the Dark Suns series had psionics in the video game. Its always been a mess though.
>>98315530Mystic also had a lower ceiling than wizard, as it never graduated beyond the equivalent of fifth-level spells.It definitely needed some work, but outright abandoning it always seemed rather absurd.
>>98315322OG psionics is just a bootleg version of the Force anon.
>>98316020Psionics got added in 1976 with eldrich wizardry. Star Wars came out in 1977. Check your facts before posting. Misinformation is harmful.
>>98321090People forget that Star Wars is extremely derivative of old pulps, psychic powers were a staple of 1930s fiction
what went so, so, so fucking wrong with The World's Greatest Roleplaying Game?
>>98292028Wizards of the CoastThere are good ideas spackled into the game, but it's predominantly corporate bullshit and it showsThere's a lot of material but not a lot of substance and everything looks like it was pulled off of a theme park catalogueAlso casters have access to a variety of resources that non-casters have no equivalent toFor fuck's sake, why is Bladesinger a Wizard subclass? Just make everyone run on the caster framework, you cowardsYou already stripped monster statblocks down to raw function, just pull the trigger already
>>98317977These are not investors as in people looking for ROI these are "investors" who get paid massive amounts to shape culture. A lot of non-profits and gov agencies (worldwide) participate in this, not just investment agencies. Its not JUST jews. Its like when media censors themselves when releasing in china because china has a censor office.You know how the american military pays hundreds of millions to game companies to maintain military propaganda? That is also an investment. Is it for money? Obviously not.
>>982977765.5e's core problem is that it had a design philosophy of "we need to change it because we're about to do the GSL again", so they just randomly shuffled class features around to try to make it distinct ENOUGH you had to buy the new books. Then they abandoned the "OGL" 1.1 but the books already had random changes to everything for no reason other than to be changes.
>>98292028Nothing I wasn't able to fix.
>>98292028DnD went mainstream and became popular among normiesAs a result people wanted a boxed adventure over using their fucking brains to make one themselves. Because of this, the game was dumbed down, "streamlined" and made more "approchable" IE taking out all the things that original fans wanted and enjoyed in the name of appealing to the lowest common denominator. It happened in DnD, it happened in commics, it happened in Sifi like star wars and star trek, it happened in war games, in computer games, in RPGs, in anything that goes mainstream. Pic realted, there are people who reee and say this is not true but its always been true and the rage against it is people upset they are being forced to look into a mirror.

If I wanted to get into this for the first time, what would be the best edition/book?
>>98318260It genuinely doesn't matter that much. Whatever's handy.
>>98318260It really really depends. Some like the more board-game / card game parts of later editions (Paranoia Red, Paranoia Perfect, Paranoia all new shiny edition).Yes, those are the real namesThose are all honestly fine, but I can't stand them. Especially cuz they change parts of the setting that I personally find essential.If you want something that seems pretty traditional and is classic Paranoia, then Paranoia XP is the way to go and is quite easy to find. (Paranoia 2004/2005, yes they did get copyright-striked by Microsoft.)
>>98314708Does anyone have some actual game stories to share?Also, a shame the CRPG was a buggy mess so we didn't get a resurgence in interest like Rogue Trader did.https://store.steampowered.com/app/858030/Paranoia_Happiness_is_Mandatory/
>>98321818I played a game in DunDraCon back in ye olden days and the GM used a bullhorn and gel lights to make you feel like you were being interrogated. Normally I don't really like prop based GMing but it was pretty effective in the convention setting. He also gave us all the secondary oles and made sure we filled out our paperwork . The hygiene officer trolled the fuck out of us
Went to my local FLGS today and still saw a huge pile of these boxes even 1.5 weeks later. I never remember this happening with Dark Imperium or Leviathan.Why is it flopping so hard?
>>98288348i still cant get over how expensive just buying the gravis apothecary is on its own, from £27+ on ebay.awesome model tho desu
>>98318873kek
>>98318989This. Between shrinking boards, bloating armies, boring ‘capture objective’ gameplay and reducing turns, the game as it stands is getting more like checkers with shooting than a wargame. GW loves it of course, because tourneyfags are the most reliable paypigs. Speaking as a long term garagehammer player, it has nothing to offer me now. It’s shallow and boring.
>>98319788Maybe I should start to sell my Leviathan sprues.
>>98287975Maybe if GW made cool Space Marine models.I'm not sure why they didn't go for Space Wolves or something with a little flair that's involved on Armageddon. Blood Angels are just generic marines until you get to the ones with fangs and blood cups.
Are these the greatest minitures ever sculpted?
>>98319739I didn't realise Diaz did that daemon prince as well, always loved that model.
>>98313740Knightmare Miniatures has a line of daemons based on art from Slaves to Darkness that was clearly intended to be Malal daemons.
>>98311568Surprising they still haven't done the 6e Dwarf metals. They'd sell like hotcakes.
>>98310951lol lmao not even close
>>98315259do you think...no...surely not...
How do you write alien planets or ecologies?
You ever heard of the game Blue Planet? A game kind of built around learning to survive, exploit, and understand and alien ecology on a water world with exotic resources? It's got a fun GM's guide just detailing all the xenobiology and how your players might investigate and interact with the unique ecologies of the planet.

>>98324436I am 100% certain there is lore somewhere that most Astartes vehicles are just piloted by servitors. At most it's one single techmarine with a few servitors assisting.
>>98324427It's not. It's about the 500 Worlds Project, which is very recent and current
>>98324436don't techmarines do that? they don't count as astartes so it's fine
Besides Bridge, what other games that require playing cards are there that are more based on skill than luck?
>>98314147The only strategy in Poker is the ante.That’s it. You have no control over the strength of your hand or the opponent, all you have is the bet. You fold if you’re fucked, bet if you’re fine, and bluff if you’re a good liar.The strategy is a matter of managing your money.There is no strategy in the card play. You Have a good hand, or you don’t.
>>98312429actually MTG sure you can absolutly get fucked by your draw or by getting flooded, but the decks are so consistent now and you got sideboarding so you can react to the opponents deck after game 1

>when your rules read more like a cease and desist order rather than a game
>>98312254I accept your concession.
>>98310854Well?
How mysterious that it's always a case of trying to abuse rules to make yourself an overpowered broken build. Never have I seen any player desperate to rules lawyer themselves into a pathetic worthless retard. Even the biggest program like autist mysteriously gravitates towards the broken build.Must just be a coincidence really...
who is bro talking to lmao
>>98321964It's just victimhood signaling. Reframing himself as the virtuous aggrieved party because someone knew the rules of a game and he didn't. It's what a waacfag does when they're also fucking stupid, also called being a sore loser.
Need some helpI was challenged to make a game and I decided I'd give myself a week, because A. I'm busyB. That's how long my interest lasts usuallyYesterday I came up with the rules, now I need to figure out the setting and the actual content of the game, like enemies and items. Here are the rules• The Gauge: goes from -6 to +6. Reaching either end is game over. Spells change properties and become more powerful the closer you are to the max. You can move towards the closes end to add extra dices and power up spells. • Rolls: Roll d6, 4-5-6 is a success, gain extra dice from bonuses, more successes= better results.• Attack: roll Xd6, one damage per success. Defense: roll Xd6, One less damage per success. Normally can’t roll more than 3d6, but moving towards your closest end let’s you go further.• Players pick two things they are good at and one thing they are bad at. When you do a thing you are good at, roll an extra dice. Can invoke their weakness to move towards the farthest end. If you do, roll one less dice. If you are already at 1 dice, roll 2d6 and pick the lowest.• Players pick a In power and a Yo power. In powers are more powerful when the gauge is in the negative, while Yo powers are more powerful in the positive. You add an extra dice to your action for each two points in the gauge. • Positioning during combat: field is divided in 5 sections. Melee only reaches in the same area. Each turn you can move one space or gain one point to move two spaces. Ranged attacks hit anywhere, but you need to gain one point to use them usuallyIn the next post I'll write down what little fluff i came up with
>>98297125>trying to marry senran kagura, kingdom under fire, and dynasty warriors>Also it's in a fantastical prehispanic Mexico.I'm listening
>>98320392The idea is that the system is designed to be played at my table only and is tailored towards my players and me. They will make their own powers and we'll work together to figure out the mechanics, so all the things you and I have come up with will be used as samples. That said, I really like the mimic idea. I haven't been able to test yet but the mindset I'm going in with is to let stuff be broken and let everyone have bullshit powers to face against equally bullshit enemies rather than try to keep everything balanced
you just made a laser vs feeings hack
>>98321117I didn't know it was a thing but I can see that, I don't mind though
>>98321088>let stuff be brokenBest mindset for this kind of thing. Mimic kinda balances itself by limiting what the user can do to exactly what other characters would be able to do, it's more quirky than it is anything else, and frankly can get cumbersome to use if the enemies know what they're doing, but two particularly cooperative players can also abuse it in fun ways.

Just primed up the Custode Terminators. Hopefully I'll finish painting them by friday.
>>98323903a wash helps pick out details that aren't to scale. for example a crevice that's an inch deep on a 6' person would be .015" deep on a fully to scale 28mm figure, but on the actual plastic model it's probably not even half that. edge highlighting is a stupid meme that people blindly use without understanding, but it's basically like outlines on a cartoon.

Why do they keep their forms looking fresh and young? It’s totally missing the point. They aren’t rot maxing or cultivating the scent of carrion. It’s like they don’t even like undeath or something. They powder their faces with the souls of unborn children to stay looking “good”. They actually panic when their jaw falls off. I don’t understand it.

I promised to run every edition of D&D if my country moved to the next stage of the world cup. Where should I start? Chainmail? Or was it too distant from D&D in practice? Holmes or is it noticeably different?Also, recommend me modules or scenarios that would work for one shots. They don't need to be contemporany, it can be an OSR thing that matches.
>>98321191ThanksI though I understood this stuff enough but once I started actually looking for something to play I started mixing up authors, colors, acronyms, re-editions. I think I'm a pussy and I will start with Basic, and leave CM as a coda at the end so I have time to run a couple simulations before getting players.
Depends on how you define an edition. There are many distinct editions depending on how you define it. You could just go with numbered editions but you could also go with a list like this.
>>98321281I like the joke, but I don't get the picture. Why does it start counting in only .5s for a while? I get Basic counting as a half edition, but there's a much bigger difference between it and AD&D. Am I missing something? I'm very tempted to take and it and change the numbers but maybe there is another level I'm missing.
