>>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.

>>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

>>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.

>>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.

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.

>the player is a red dragon is the groupsoo how do we play now? also can we ride the dragon player too?
>>98317985Fireborn. Literally everyone plays a dragon.
>>98317898Is the dragon player's character also a dragon?
>>98317898what's the problem? The dragon is the hammer, while the rest of the party is the anvil. The strategy is now how to best maneuver everyone into the most advantageous positions. It's only slightly more different than regular party play. Maybe something more modern, like infantry supporting a tank.
>>98317898>>the player is a red dragon is the groupso the players are controlling individual elements of the dragon? like one player is the head, another the wings and another the limbs?

I've been thinking, hot off a long combat session. Most systems use dice rolls to resolve uncertainty in a manner not involving human judgment, and that includes "if you punch the guy in front of you", right? But what about making that a given instead of a wonder? What if - extrapolating from the "hit points are exchange of hits, not necessarily your health bar" interpretation - combatants are assumed to be guaranteed to hit each other outside specific circumstances (say, only rolling if you're shooting a projectile involving your friend in melee)?Is it mechanically viable to design around that? What implications would it have from a development standpoint (would such a thing contribute to the "HP bloat" math trap to offset the reliable damage, for example)? Do systems that pursue this method actually speed combat as a flow (as I'm certain there must be a few and that fa/tg/uys have played them)?
>>98317987Of course you can do that. You can have combat simply be deterministic grinding down each others' numbers if you want. It won't be exciting and heroic, and you'll probably want to have mechanical uncertainty in some other part of the game instead. Like if your game is about cool 90s computer hacker guys then your computer hacking rules should probably be the focus, but you could probably boil physicsl combat down to some really simple subtraction.
>>98317987Monkey brain gets highly excited with gambling.If the game mechanics are similar to gambling then the game is exciting.If it is not similar to gambling then the game mechanics become boring.This is part of the secret sauce that made dnd and with the d20 mechanics so great.Your level 1 adventurers are gambling with every roll to kill the orc band and not get killed in the process
Panic at the Dojo does it pretty well. You roll a dice pool as soon as your turn starts, and you spend the resulting numbers on your abilities, with higher numbers usually unlocking stronger degrees of success. You always hit and are always doing something, even if it's not as strong as it could be.
>>98317987Battle Century G does that, you have a defense stat that subtracts for the enemy's damage to determine how much damage you take, the system also uses a tension system where attacks inherently scale stronger the longer the fight goes on so everyone is increasingly on edge/in the zone. The system also doesn't really have an HP bloat problem either it arguably has a reverse where everyone is too fragile against good offensive builds and unless you're properly using your very limited cheat the basic conventions of the system points properly, you'll have half your HP or more cleaved off. Great System though would recommend for a Magical Girl or Mecha campaign.
>>98317987It is viable to design around that, and it coincides with how combat usually shakes out. In HEMA, if you pit two untrained amateurs against one another, what you will never find is two fighters wailing against one another and only hitting air. Instead, they will hit each other instantly, often at the same time. The difficult portion of combat is not attacking, it's defending, and most of your training will revolve around learning how to defend rather than offend. But if you do have a system like this, you cannot leave defence without some sort of test. If you do, the system is just a math equation and a comparison of stats. I have designed a system like this (well sort of, there is still an attack roll). The reason you roll dice is because it increases tension. It's essentially gambling, and any system you do implement needs some level of gambling to function as a game. If you remove that portion, it had to be swapped for some other system. Cards perhaps, or some other mechanic that makes it so the combat isn't simply a question of looking at static numbers and then deciding what the outcome is. My experience is that it only speeds up combat if the players have no agency, i.e, ther are no attack manoeuvres, no special abilities to add, etc. People adding their bonuses together eats a lot of time. I'd also say that without such things, the game becomes kind of boring. Players tend to enjoy the gambling part.
