>Is another "99% of the world revolve around humans" caseNice "fantasy" bro.
>>97788866The universe acting antagonistically towards the protagonist is still revolving around him. Our place in nature is naturally at the center because we are the thinking beings who perceive it. Same thing with all that yapyap about how the universe is so big and vast and blah blah. The relevance of things is only to be found in their relationship to the observer.It's okay though, I'm willing to break versimilitude in Fantasy by giving Elves and Dwarves or whatever 1%. It's interesting to imagine a universe that was not created EXCLUSIVELY for my race by God, but instead for my race primarily plus a couple of cute sidekick species.
>>97753662When humans are in the setting, they make for an easily comprehensible focal point for telling a story, because they are the most relatable to the people engaging with the material on a base level. Are you so unimaginative that you can't try to view fantasy from the perspective of those like yourself, but in a world unlike ours?

>>97753793>I can't understand anything that doesn't revolve around me because my life as a low IQ single child taught me that I am the center of reality.
>>97798401As opposed to your rainbow humans with pointy ears and wacky features?You're still writing humans. You're just huffing your own farts about it.
Oh shit, Wizards of the Coast is being bought by Hasbro. And this was after Wizards of the Coast bought TSR and D&D. What will happen to traditional gaming now?
>>97793637My best player is a trans woman though.
>>97793591It'll skyrocket in popularity and undergo a new golden age first in the early 2000s and then, again, around 2020. By 2026, it'll be so popular that every friend you have will be willing to sit down and at least give TTRPGs a shot. You'll be able to take your complex-ass boardgames over for game night and even wives and girlfriends will join in the fun. The future is looking bright, anon.
>>97793591Back in the day WotC was swimming in so much magic money it started buying everything that was for sale. D&D, L5R, Ars Magica they were just gobbling it all up. Our local group referred to them as "Wizzards of the Borg".
>>97793918Don't WOTC ban anyone that isn't woke in their games?
Let's not be doomsayers. TSR was run into the ground by gamers who wasted tons of money on failed side-projects like Dragon Dice. Maybe we need the perspective of non-gamers with some financial savvy to keep the hobby afloat.
i need everyone to understand that i have been a fat black woman my entire life. every single day. and for years i have walked into my local GW and looked at those shelves and thought: not yet. not for us. the skinny elves. the chiselled space marines. where was i in all of this. where were MY people. at adepticon GW looked at the fat black woman demographic - the most underserved, the most invisible, the most quietly suffering community in miniature wargaming - and said: we see you. we see your curves and your melanin and we are going to put that in resin. i have not stopped shaking. i have been sitting here in the dark refreshing the GW store page just to look at it. just to know it exists. TOWbabies will never have this. they have their little game and their little community but they will never have THIS. they will never know what it feels like to finally, after all these years, be seen.thank you gw. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
>>97789824Don't worry Miss, GW has had you represented from the start.

Not asking which videogames you enjoyed most. I want to talk about the ruleset itself: how well the combat system, skill framework, class/build depth, and underlying math translate into a good cRPG.
>>97796971I'd say 4th edition D&D is probably the backbone of the greatest cRPG that never was, for how many of its disliked design features were in service to the proto-VTT project that got canceled. 3.5 could have been used for a solid rival to The Elder Scrolls in the hands of a dev willing to trudge through implementing all that worldsim, jank very much included.
>>97796971Its a bad question- a crpg can handle way more math than any ttrpg, and it will have to for things like physics simulation regardless. Not to mention NPC behavior, environment design, an economy... you'll spend most of your time just writing new math under the existing mathThe real thing you need is worldbuilding, NPCs, economics, crafting, trade and dungeoneering systems. But no edition of D&D is good at that, so...
Literally doesn't matter. The best D&D cRPGs use AD&D 2e despite the system.
>>97797312>But no edition of D&D is good at that, so......No edition of D&D is good at dungeoneering? That sounds like an extraordinary claim, given how it entails literally no core rulebook writer has ever done their job even close to properly, and how there was a whole thing about going back to how older editions handled the subject.
When you play a bard, what vibe do you go for?
>>97797080Nice>>97797038I try to buck the quippy Marvel shit by playing an officer whose inspiration takes the form of barking orders and who has a natural aura of leadership explaining his knack for interpersonal relations - like a Patton type. That's a pretty standard subversion by now, though, so sometimes I'll run it as a mousy, fringe bookworm type - like Velma.
>>97797656>And I never fucking consult the lore with the GM. It's both his job and fault he put a giant target on his back that says "Abuse my game, for which I'm not prepared"I like your style
I'm currently playing a very vain bard who is basically adventuring as a traveling musician to grow his fanbase and ultimately get a record deal and become the David Bowie of the campaign setting. He plays nice but it's all being coy and placating for selfish reasons, he believes he's above the "riffraff" but needs to interact with commoners in order to get more popular. Of course, the rest of the party is fully aware of this and loves knocking him down a peg if he gets too big for his britches. It's very fun to play the extravagant rock performance stuff, but it's equally fun when I make shitty rolls and fall flat on my face, as if the universe is telling him to stop being such a bitch. Can do really cool shit, but can also be the butt of the joke just as often.

>>978005032nd edition codex states that the world spirit is a "complex psychic energy grid" connected to the outside world by psychically interactive standing stones which anchor psychic power into the planet. Considering the fact that maiden worlds are specifically plants terraformed by ancient Eldar, it stands to reason that this "energy grid" could be there by design and not some natural phenomenon.

>>97792273Well it's kinda the whole point of the season. I only wonder what the whole point of Masanori's taboo speech was, there's not enough time to show any consequences for his actions
>>97792812Post jk Tokoha swimsuit
>>97795170Masanori in general is a character who would benefit from 52 episode long seasons. Now he doesn't get to scheme properly because there's no time for that.Like the raid on Ryuzu's headquarters that happened back in G. There was planning, betrayals (Am/Ace), action and everything had time for itself. Good days.
Someone on Vanguardian said that he's tired of the Naoslop when it comes to Bushi shilling products. Thoughts?

>>97790091Isn't subsectorials just fireteams?
>>97791615It's more about themes between units. Sin-Eaters are Observancy unit even when they don't link with anything.
>>97790948Who's more careful with their human "recruits", CA or Tohaa?
>>97794546Does Tohaa even recruit humans now that their mercenary company is bust?
>>97789545What's the meta with Sartroids? You could give one to Dr. Worm.
The evil cabal that owns DnD is putting YOU, yes YOU in charge of redesigning the class system for their next edition. You have total freedom, what changes do you make?Hard Mode: Make it so it's still 12 classes total, because 12 is a very good number that is pleasing to my brain.
>>97791591It was Cleric subclass in the 1975 Blackmoor book, though.
>>97751524>Barbarian>Ranger>Fighter>Rogue>Monk>Paladin>Musclemancer>Warlock>Druid>Wizard>Cleric>Bard
>>97771650One take on Clerics I've seen is making their divine abilities passive or context-based. No spells or spell slots, instead your God has a list of blessings based on their Domains and a set of Commandments that grant greater abilities when conditions align so the Cleric is in direct alignment with their God's goals.
>>97797317hmfeel like I'd want a table for how to measure the limits for that for most thingsCould be really funny though>elf cleric of Shevarash>god of hating drow>offensive spells against drow can be cast at will
>>97751141Personally I'd get rid of sorcerer and warlock and replace them with pugilist and gunslinger.
Anyone remember this? I remember having it as a kid but had no clue how to play.
>>97794616Isnt that Age of Sigmar?
>>97797288Age of Sigmar is much gayer
>>97794616They are reintroducing historical/fantasy figures. Next sets have samurai, the Nuckelavee, the Krampus, among other things.
>>97792579Same. It's baby's first wargame for zillenials
>>97797851More like the only wargame worth playing>No endless editions>No new units completely invalidate old ones>Community run, for the most part>Unique blend of tropes, done well>Simple, easy to learn rules that, through the units, allows for mechanical depth.>Customs welcomed and encouraged.>Mother. Fucking. SOULBORGS.It's literally the only wargame I play. I would play Infinity but it has both no scene were I'm at AND my friends are fantasy fags, they can't get into a game unless there is magic involved.
Why are merchants always portrayed as fat?
>>97789948Untanned skin, being fat, long nails, hell getting gout is all seen as noble/rich stereotypes especially for the time and setting.
>>97789948Merchants will eat more or fuck more
>>97789948>Why is a profession with more money to spend on luxuries (including good food) and that does not rely on lots of manual activity to suceed be depicted as fat?I don't know OP, that's one for the PhD graduates, it's far beyond me.
>>97789948But they literally aren't though.
>>97789948My merchants are always happy
>they didn't add alternate activation>again
>>97796373Play one of the countless dead games that uses alternate activation.
>>97796373Who cares? If you're actually still playing this dogshit in 2026 you deserve it
>>97796373Well yeah, it's not their turn yet.
of course not. they need more time to cook up an alternate activateing system good enough for thier 'bread a butter' game. thisll turn 10th into exactly what it was always ment to be; 8th-9th part duex. 11th is just gonna be to 10th what 9th was to 8th; a 'hey, we noticed all these rules ideas needed changes/tinkering. now, get super excited, as we have these changes thatll make this seem fresh for 18 more monthes till jan 2028, while we then chugg along for 2 more years. finish re-releaseing all codexs by march 2029, then spend a year in the new 'end of the edition' event, over 3-4 books, and 9-12 months as needed."i suspect that 12 will be the "holy shit alternate activations guys!!! its going to be so exciteing, cause theyre releaseing indexs again!" right in time for mid to late 2030. calling it now.the real questions; are they gonna give us free rules in 11th, or wait till 12th and try and wring out the old codex model for one last edition, befor even they are sick of it? and will they go back to points per model, and pointed wargear by 12th, or keep the current points model rideing; it obviously wont be changeing in 11th. the more things change, the more theyre gonna stay the same.
>>97796574>Heart of the SwarmGoing for the "look at me, I'm legally harassed by big corpo" publicity angle, I see.>are they gonna give us free rulesAnd let go of a way to fleece retards? Lol, lmao even. Not until free rules become the standard, and even then they'd fight tooth and nail against it all the way.
>"I'm gonna draw aggro">"Hey GM can we respec?">"Can we fast travel to the location?">"You gotta check out these three different builds"Video game culture has done irreversible damage to this hobby.

Not everything has to be a roll or a big event.
>>97794125>What route do you take during travel? Let's see if we get lost, see if things happen during our travel, see if we find other locations or shortcuts. Let's figure out how to ration and if we need to forage or hunt"Doing this for every minor trek is retarded. We are not going to get lost, we can just get enough food beforehand, and there isn't any point to "shortcuts" if we already know a road to say, a dungeon. If you're trying to FIND a place, sure. But if you're going to a dungeon whose location is already known or walking towards a king's castle there is absolutely no point in wasting time and effort filling the space between two points with rote bullshit and chores.
>>97794114Why?
>>97794155wow, you're really bad at games.
>>97775734Wait!Is he playing dota 2!?On a controller?!?!!?!?
Which one works better? The femme-fatale who keeps stringing a PC along and sometimes 'rewards' him, or the dashing cad who does the same thing for female PCs?
>>97797590*starts humping your leg*
>>97797590The latter, if you can pull it off. From my experience, female players enjoy this kind of thing. Not to rag on them, but it's just that while guys will get frustrated, women enjoy the slightly 'deviant' feel to it since they like character interaction over the tactical parts. Of course you actually have to be charismatic, you ladykiller you
