Wrong, retard. I didn't post anything about the actual reason he got kicked until you fags forced it out of me to try to turn this into a /pol/ thread.

I was asking for advice on how to possibly give my friend some enjoyment without hurting his feelings or seeming like I was rubbing it in. I like brainstorming with him and I have no one else to brainstorm with who cares or knows that group. I was hoping he could help me develop some of my NPC villains and flesh them out. And he would know what those people would react to.

I used to post my gamelogs here but then some fags tried to harass me over it so I stopped.

As someone who really fucking tried to do that I can attest that it's far harder than it already sounds. It is in fact so hard and it requires so much time and resources that only a die-hard romantic would ever consider it a worthwhile effort. And they will still fail 9 times out of 10.

Though with Warlords, they did take it back to the Noble Savage thing and even had some of them just be violent assholes even without the demon corruption. Like Kargath, Blackhand, Killrog, and Grom, all leaned heavily into the savage aspect. Durotan got more of the "noble" thing, but he's the protagonist for Horde players.
I particularly liked Gul'dan. Just plain evil for the sake of it and loving every second of it. Fucking smug bastard.

I just got the biggest brain idea
Instead of racial bonuses, what if the advantage was baked into rolling for stats?
An elf rolls 3d6 down the line but for dex they/them get 4d6 drop the lowest
A dwarf gets his 4d6 roll on con, an orc gets charisma to show that they are a proud people who are trying to become better men, a human gets to swap two stats ect.

It absolutely does not. All it does is encourage the player with the worst rolls to keep killing their PC until they get a new one. Which, y'know, is only conductive to dungeon crawls.

I have posted all my stuff on my DA page, but I hesitate the share the link since I originally made the page for NSFW art and only later co-opted it for also posting my worldbuilding project, and I still switch between "serious" worldbuilding stuff and unrelated NSFW stuff depending on what I feel like and how much my followers pester me.
I should probably set up a wiki or something to dump all the lore into, but the amount of detail varies a lot since I haven't really followed any consistent plan. The setting is for a space wargame, so I've written a lot about different warship classes and space travel (the only time I've gone through the effort of collecting all the lore into a single document is a "technical readout" about the ships of the main factions), with anything else being done based on what I feel like doing at the time. Now that I think of it, I focus on different things with the different species: with the Ni-hir I've written mostly about the society and culture, including coming up with a numeral system, basic grammar rules, and pronunciation guide, while with the Seirans I've focused more on biology, detailing different animals on their homeworld and coming up with an evolutionary history and cladistics for them. And with the Demosians I've mostly focused on the military stuff, but since I've done that to some extend for all the civilizations they've ended up with less written for them.

I can dump some pictures that actually have the text included and which might be interesting.

Hey anon. Sorry, I forgot about this thread. I think understand better your situation… and I still stand by my point that therapy can help. There shouldn’t be anything you can’t speak with a therapist about. Any that is worth their salt won’t judge you and actually try explore with you why are you feeling like that and why you were reticent to tell them. Therapist are humans too, but good ones will try their damn best to disconnect their own shit to your’s. I’m any case, best of luck.

What even is the /tg/ approved way of playing things? If we are to believe that storyshitting is bad, then why the fuck can't I just be an ogre cleric that bashes people in the head with holy books for a gazillion damage or some other gimmicky thing but then again you can't play freakshit either because...it goes against the verisimilitude of the world, but if that's the case then why is storyshittery so bad then? I don't even think you can even play OSR games without having someone shit on you for your tastes because that's for cringe uncs or whatever.

>tourist shitposter asked question based on shitposts from other tourist shitposters
there's generals for the shit you've been told /tg/ hates. Clearly /tg/ doesn't actually hate those things.

DnD is bad to shitposters because they think it's the thing /tg/ hates. In reality it's just mcdonalds of TTRPG. It's everywhere and popular, and if it didn't exist something like it would. It's not great but it's not as awful as the shitposters say.

"storyshitting" is a fake term one guy keeps trying to make a thing out of. It's not real and doesn't actually mean anything. There's entire generals for lengthy worldbuilding and lore for homebrewed shit. There wouldn't be if it was actually hated by more than a few never-GMs and nogamers who don't understand TTRPGs at all but want to fit in by pretending to judge how others do things.

>>
>>98666194
Just keep the fancy designs with dynamic poses and tonnes of detail to commanders and other super special models and leave the basic units relatively simple and fast to paint.
Maybe you could also make the miniatures for skirmish games somewhat more complex, since much less of them is needed to play

This is a thread for the discussion of Bionicle tabletop games, both in terms of the setting and the mechanics of it all. There are three links below, in order, Masks of Destiny, the Red Star Games site with multiple systems, including a war game one (among other things), and an in-development system called Kanohi & Cryoshell. If you’re familiar, what are the pros and cons of each one?

Thread Questions:
>What was your favorite arc of Bionicle and why? And do you prefer G1 or G2, and again why? I’m a fan of the classic original Toa designs so it’s the original setting’s Mata Nui arc for me.
>If you heard that they were making a Generation 3 of Bionicle, what would be your hopes for it? I’d like to see if the Generations exist in the same multiversal framework as each other, just imagine the crossover potential!
