How would you fix the crunch of Eclipse Phase?
>>98926633>How would you fix the crunch of Eclipse Phase?By playing a different game.
>>98929331It's interesting, but it isn't something that's incredibly gamable the way they want to do it.
>>98930624Correct. And the second edition tried to fix this, but did it in an incredibly stupid way (bodies only give you varying amounts of meta points).
>>98930624Agreed, I've never liked EP's crunch much and it wouldn't be the first setting / gameplay conflict. The main spat with >>98929159 was about the idea of de-emphasising beamcast and mind uploading. You can / should tweak it to taste but relegating it outright to an afterthought Vs conventional travel defeats a core premise of the setting imo.>>98930828This too. Even if you're on board it's a challenge.
>>98929306Funnily enough his Doll books are a decent point to work forward from as well, if you're interested in how biotech would warp society at the point before we're full-on "people are software, bodies are hardware" cybercreeps, there's a bunch of interesting stuff about how genetic engineering by [/pol/bot activation keywords] eugenicist capitalist slave-owner oligarchs would fuck up society by manufacturing a low-IQ labour class.i r8 PJMcA 8/8

>>98931061I like the guy, because he's probably one of the best at making upscale Grey Knight mini's that are modern in scale and technical detail, but also stay faithful to the actual design language of Grey Knights as a whole, while being so high quality.The guy actually has a fairly new youtube channel, where he posts some of his stuff.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqnyqgcLA8MHe's not a pretentious fag, is a skilled hobbyist, and makes cool shit. Would recommend.

>>98766564we actually saw the opposite of this last night. if you make your players roll stealth checks over and over, they are guaranteed to fail eventually.
looking forward to apereea coming back in the next couple weeks so I can finally stop watching this shit
Ngl, you can ditch entire Seekers table, move Matt to Schemers table and C4 will lose none of its value. All the best characters, players and main plot are in Schemers anyway.
Merry Christmas, /tg/.
>>98924730Only heard rumors of the sort that it's made intentional at least now, despite so many Admech players really wanting them.>>98924708This is true. But even Legends is really patchy now, now I can only see them through that stupid phone app and HH Legends in particular seems to outright no longer exist for any flavor of CSM.
>>98923965The fucking creature that took this picture needs to trim those talons, jfc
>>98923990To be fair I think it's more a centerpiece/display model. I'd definitely want one for my display, but wouldn't ever play with it.That said, I also want a stormbird but I could get a top end 3d printer and still have change instead...
>>98924730it's because the old "nothing changes, nobody knows how to actually do anything" portion of the lore didn't make any sense when Squats existed and knew how to innovate and make things, and the tech simply standing still for 10,000 years is dumbspace marines and guard work because they're zerg rushing a galaxy that hates them where the former major empires are in technological decline, not because they're the pinnacle of warfare, and the imperium is still losing day by day
Can standard 40k-scale BFG ships be far behind?
After a long time away (I last remember the first XYZ cards being advertised), I tried playing Master Duel recently and built a legendary six samurai deck because I played the original six samurai. I know about Yugioh power creep, hell every TCG has power creep, but this is just fucking ridiculous. Almost every single deck I went against could crap out at least 5 boss monsters from the extra deck, remove every monster, and spell/trap from my field in the process, and then do a one turn kill, even if the deck was non-meta like Synchro Diva. Or they could set up a ton of negations on their board that made it impossible for you to do anything. I thought the 20 minute turns were a meme but no, those turns actually take that fucking long to the point nobody plays trap cards any more.The only wins I got were against someone who auto quit and an Exodia deck who spammed a bunch of draw spells to get the Exodia pieces and failed.I tried making a meta deck. But then I found out I didn’t know any of the archetypes and the ones I did know were completely unrecognizable. Like the hero deck is literally 4 different hero subtypes put together. And then even the cheapest decks have like 15 UR cards in the extra that all need to be there to function properly. How the fuck did Yugioh become like this? I’m still used to using hand sizes to gauge how many cards my opponent can play.
>>98922390Anyone who plays ygo is
>>98921679That's why you run anti-meta. You run stuns, you run floodgates, and you run hand traps. You make the game as unfun for these metaslop shitters as you can, you learn what piece in their combo needs to be cucked to break their entire strategy down, and then they will ragequit and you'll rack up the wins and the salt.
>>98922269Comes with being a manga merch game that outgrew itself
Pretty much why I stopped playing the actual game since 2016 or so, and instead went back to the old ds and psp games. If anything, I went further by making a no effect monsters format since it felt like you weren't playing your fav cards anymore, and just played the most broken effects.Link here if anyone's interested:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KgoU3m__xcnEs2-6iGTkMb6fm4evzkFO/edit?usp=drivesdk&ouid=113353029518206139494&rtpof=true&sd=true

The genre is almost perfectly structured for a ttrpg (arguably better than western fantasy) and yet there are basically no games that use a Xianxia setting. What gives?

How do you do it? How much effort do you put in to hide or justify or explain it?Did you get away with it? Did you players connect the dots?Pic related is Ed Greenwood who is the mastermind of writing with his dick. He got away with it. Even praised for it. It is amazing that he gets away with it.

>>98924274jej based retard
I once put a cursed item that turned one of the player characters into a woman and "Scythian" (race which encompasses medusas, sphinxes, lamias, etc.) via a legendary artifact held by an oriental shopkeeper. Both he and his girlfriend were NOT amused. Albeit his character bullied the shopkeep and would NOT listen to her try to warn him so he really had it coming.

>>98768442>>98768549The setting is shit. The game is just okay.
what can I make to debuff whole groups of enemies at once at ll2? no chomo
>>98930631Debuffing GROUPS of enemies isn't something that's all that common, and you won't really be able to do it well until higher levels. I would look at the Iskander and plan to load on grenades like the Mesmer Charges from the Minotaur. Lich has the Wandering Nightmare that can lock down a good chunk of battlefield as well. Going the minotaue's alt frame of the Calendula can let you create tar pit zones somewhat.
>>98930667>>98930631Metalmark's Flash Charges are just about your only hope
>plot hook is a classic fairy tale with dark/mature twistI used to sneer at those, but nowadays I'll happily take it over running coffee shop in suspiciously cosmopolitan backwoods village or playing part it pro-bono therapy session.
>>98919367That picture looks like a shitty copy of Frazetta's Ghoul Queen.
>>98919367I run my games as classic good vs evil. The orcs and goblins etc are vile filth who murder, plunder etc. Irredeemable villains who are made by evil gods. While the church is never actually le Evil Bad Guys, that twist is so overdone it's boring now. They're genuinely good and helpful. Fuck MUH MATURE TWISTs, globalist shite.

>>98917722Welcome to fetish town, slime vore ahoy. Brings back memories of a game I was in where the cleric girl got swallowed whole by some draco-frog and our idiot mage cast a fear spell that made it flee. We couldn't catch up to help, and she kept blowing her rolls to escape or cast anything other than a few healing spells that only delayed the inevitable. Her player, and the paladin's player, were both bummed because their little romantic side bit had just gotten to a tender confession of feelings when it happened. I was not the DM but I was diamonds under the table.
>>98917722Glad you all had fun.

>>98924910>really isn't, it's bloated with redundant skills and niche skills with no clear mechanical applicationI dunno. Just about every single skill has some use. I've tried to cut some for my table, but I couldn't justify getting rid of any. Maybe Personal Grooming.
>>98929176Is your argument that the game is too granular or that it easily placates people?
>>98930472You talking about the Easy Mode book? I personally haven't checked it out, but I had gotten my table into RED with the old Jumpstart Kit, and I'm guessing that offered even less. So I imagine it's fine, and if you're liking the system, I'd get the Core book, and then start looking through the DLC.
>>98930586Will do!
>>98929273>you cant even do dumb shit like host a slam dunk contest in this game because every player and your medtech is rolling a +14 on athleticsThat's more an issue with Red's math being too tight and relying on you rolling 1s and 10s.>>98930374Yes, but does that mean they need to be different skills?
Is HERO System worth learning?
>>98926130I'd get two docs, both free. The first, Hero in Two Pages, is a super quick primer that does what it says on the tin.The second is the Fantasy Hero Primer. While aimed at setting up fantasy games, it does a good job of walking you through using the system. Since the system is generic / universal, what you'll learn by going through it applies in 99% of cases to any other genre. It's got a walkthrough of how powers work, character creation, combat, etc.
>>98928853Do you have any good Actual Plays?
>>98924946Its bizarro GURPS (both are crunchy and use 3d6). If GURPS is the kind of thing you like you might like HERO, but if you prefer things that run more quickly I wouldn't recommend it - especially since some things WILL take multiple rounds of explaining for players to understand them (see: attack rolls)
>>98924946I enjoy it, but it was the first RPG system I ever played.I suggest if you actually want to explore it you should get the character design software.It makes shit so much easier.
>>98924946The last week I lived in that shithole L.A. I meant to not smoke anymore just to be clearheaded. Then I found this on the street around the corner from where I lived so whatchu gonna do. Felt like a sign. Thank you criminal nigs of South Central LA.

>>98928225That is the one with the Paratrooper OCC right?
>>98929959Them and the Hazmat troopers, if I remember right. Cool guys.
In whatever system you want. what would you do?
>>98909888Cool ass design
>>98910575Seething
>>98910865I remember the good old days of reading stat blocks like this. Memories, sweet memories.
>>98909930Reminds me of an idle idea I had for lion like creature that coats its body in stone.Collectors would gather rare stones for their newborn Stone Lions to roll around in so they could have marble and exotic gems embedded into their rock skin.
>>98926133Yeah, I used to like making mock monster stat blocks like this. It's fun!
