How do you avoid weirding out your players when inserting your fetishes into the game?

>>96796070Nah, the most important thing with void body is to bring everyone down to your level except you're stronger than them at the same level, so you have to maximize that.>>96796076>She doesn't find materials. She finds full blown artifacts like Spliced Tree. All. The. Time.You don't need to buy materials either. Also you're just pulling the rate out of your ass. It undermines everything you're saying. She might be your waifu but she's not god.>You really think "high-quality" = "peerless"?Yes. Well, more like "very high-quality". That's what it means in xianxia lingo. It doesn't matter what it means outside this context, because we're in this context.>>1 drawback = 1 Blessing = 0.5 GINope. You can't equate them. By comparing their power, a blessing is significantly weaker than a grand inheritance. Furthermore the opportunity cost of grabbing a grand inheritance is a lot stricter, as you can only get three of them. I'd give something like Heaven-Blessed 0.2 GI at most.
>>96796076>You really think "high-quality" = "peerless"? Have you looked up the actual definition of "peerless"?By that logic peerless prodigy is also grand inheritance tier and makes you most talented cultivator there is.
>>96796118A lot more than just grand inheritance. If you're being an overly literal dumbass like anon, peerless prodigy means that there's no greater prodigy than you in the infinite mutliverse.

How do you prefer your magic, and how did you design the system for your setting?

The science fantasy world of post-apoc cyborgs, wizards, dragons, ninjas, giant mecha, super-nazis, robot ninjas, vampires, underwater kingdoms, remnant human supertech civilizations and everything you can imagine all rolled into one setting where interdimensional RIFTS have pierced Earth's fabric and turned it into a playground for aliens and monsters!Plus other Palladium Games about superheroes, zombies, classic fantasy, supernaturals investigation and more.

>>96775943I think the idea that it can run out of energy is a fun penalty mechanic. That if its attacked it can only hold out for so long before it depletes energy for weapons so for any threat its up to players to decide if they can take out the threat before the forest runs out or if they need to engineer a retreat.
>Mystic Knight wants to join the party>He's from a rare sub faction of not evil people.Do you ever think the writers of these books bait people with the lines about the rare <0.1% group of a class that is not hideously evil? Because I think in this last year I have seen more players going this route than ever before.
>>96785835Even the official mystic knight rifter says most of them are greedy bastards as opposed to baby stranglersThat said, yeah, evil classes tend to have more flavor than good classes so people want to play them, even if that means being the 1% of non blood drinking ones.
>>96786226It's straight up bait, I think. Players love being the rare one.
>>96786226I'm more drawn to the "4% to maybe have this really rare advantage" like Aerihman Atlanteans being Master Psychics
Is there a knock-off of Catch Phrase with more phrases? Like maybe 50k instead of 5k? Or maybe a game that keeps track of used phrases so you don't get a duplicate after just five minutes of play?
>black & white evokes an old-timey feel better than photo-realistic color art>old-timey is also why irl medieval, or simply pre-20th century art, is more evocative for a game set in the distant past>more left to the imagination>realistic proportions and actions.

>>96790647Wow, so many falsehoods in one image! Nice!There is no tablet with that specific complaint. That quote comes from the 1950s ffs. And the date makes no sense because the Assyrian empire wasn't a thing at that time!

>Elemental is a 1v1 card battler deckbuilder. Its core unique mechanic is elemental scaling: all attack and restore cards scale with one or more elements, whose values (strengths) are randomized at the start of each game, which makes each game play out differently. Then, various cards are able to change (reroll, increase/decrease, flip, swap) the values of these elements, thus changing how strong other cards are. There are also special Relic cards (somewhat inspired by roguelikes) which (once bought) provide ever-present passive or active effects. Additionally, the game features a fairly unique for its genre shop mechanic, where you pay to refresh the set of purchasable cards, which is however shared with the opponent. There are also new twists on classic mechanics such as face down cards and interruptions, which provide interesting tactical decisions. Lastly, with its two win conditions and multiple possible deck archetypes, the game really rewards adapting to what's available each game.>Game page: https://indjev99.itch.io/elemental>Discord: https://discord.gg/6279KfA9qu>Video showcase: https://youtu.be/F1p0CdXhxBUI've been organizing a tournament over the past 3 weeks.

>>96793327Jinete and Dragoon are both medieval cavalry, the first a light skirmisher that used darts and javelins to harrass enemies, and the second was an armored skirmisher that used muskets to harrass enemies. They're names that fit the job but they're not 40k-coded.
>>96785994Actually, what I found worked really well was to first piece together a new hull in Photoshop or Paint from the pieces that I want. Sometimes I would also draw my own lines in as well to add more detail. But I wouldn't touch the resolution.Then I would run Stable Diffusion on my PC and just tell it to upscale the image with a few additional style prompts. Since the images are sketches, it works pretty well as long as you keep it at a resolution where you don't need tons of detail.>>96788036I have CS2016 and there's an issue with the most recent Nvidia drivers where it flickers whenever I do anything. So I'm sort of transitioning over to Canva but I haven't done a lot of image editing in it yet. And of course, there's GIMP too. It's easier to learn GIMP if you don't know Photoshop.

>>96793559Got any links to easy setups for stable diffusion on the pc with data? I've never bothered, but I've got piles of images I never use that I wouldn't mind having touched up in a way that isn't so labour intensive.
>>96795190>Got any links to easy setups for stable diffusion on the pc with data?https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/indexIn the examples here, it still needs Internet to pull the weights, since for things like SDXL they're HEFTY. Check model cards if you want slimmer models fully local.
Honestly I'm tired of muh eldritch cults and the lovecraftian mythos in horror. No one is genuinely scared or creeped out by them. People may gloat about how much of an intellectual idea cosmic horror is; being overwhelmed by the vastness of the universe and feeling powerless, blah blah blah.Satanic cabals, witch covens and pagan cults do give people the creeps. Voodoo dolls, human sacrifices, blood rituals, hidden groves with celtic ruins, secret societies, actual ghosts and demons instead of otherworldly beings who don't give a shit about mankind. Horns and blood scare people more than tentacles and ooze.
>>96793224>Again, another word you stole from the right-wingers.No. Are you stupid? Based, as you all use it, originate from some time in the early 2010s, when Lil B started using it as a positive. Dude used it to mean being bold, positive and kind of impudent. Like you didn't give a shit what other people said about you. This itself was an inversion from Based being a negative - it was preexisting term before he used it. While the exact usage of it before hand is a bit fuzzy, you were basically calling someone a crackhead if you called them based. Since based was derived from the term "basehead", which means that you were someone who freebased crack.
>>96793121>Congratulations. You have sinned. You have presumed to know the mind of God.And you presume that perfection could be cruel if it felt like it. > "That person is a saint"> "Ok, but what if that person told you to murder your mum?"> "Wtf anon?" This is you. This is the level of argument you are offering. > "Here are guidelines from which you shouldn't derail, btw, doing so always hurts you in the long run, I am giving you your entire life to do as you please, but I will judge you at its outcome."Holy shit a real fucking tyrant.
>>96793224Right-wingers stole it from black drug culture. Also, Tolkien would hate your stupid Nazi ass.
>>96758937What has given you the impression that all the pagan cults and horns and blood weren't eldritch and Lovecraftian??? Like how did you even get that idea?You have no fucking clue what you're talking about. None. Oh my god. Go actually READ some shit.Guess where the term "eldritch" comes from. Hint: it was related to fairies and witchcraft.
>>96758959And he was only about as racist as literally everyone else in the 1920s was...

>>96771671A while back, before I attained my autonomy, my Sire took me and some other Childer out to the Rockies for a fairly complicated, prolonged ritual meant to let us tap into what was, apparently, a long-abandoned werewolf place of power.Actually finding the place was fairly difficult, as it from all accounts migrated - and maybe still migrates - around a large, mountainous terrain by means unknown. It was certainly not the wolve moving it, because that's not how their places of power normally work, plus the tribe that clung to it was long gone, and Garou overall did visit the area, but not very intently. So, we basically had to loiter around national park territory, making do with risky lodgings and local wildlife for sustenance, all while hoping that we'd not run into any Garou.It was on the night three of that expedition that I started to notice a fucking mountain follow us.It was subtle yet impossible to miss once you knew what to look for. In the clearest nights, there was nothing; but in the foggiest, the dimmest, it was a cragged, sharp peak, 'circling' us, a mile or two away at all times, using other mountains for cover. For all of its absurd size, it was utterly quiet. It drew closer and closer as the fog turned heavier, and retreated as it turned weaker. As is the law of such things, the fog got the thickest around the place of power. The thing got close enough that some sort of switch flipped, and we could hear it - the absurd weight of millions of tons of rock scraping about, groaning of the earth underneath it. It got very rowdy when we started the ritual, but that is more private than I feel like disclosing.
>>96792878I don't mind a loose thread topic, Im still just going to post a detective malkavian as usual and leave. Perhaps a challenge or a character request type thing would be interesting? Making a 'a day in the life of kindred at Halloween' might be okay.
>>96794937what do you mean by a challenge/request?
I’ve been using the Greek and/or Norse gods in my own campaign settings, but I want to start making my own deities and pantheons going forward, if you have any advice, I’d love to hear it please. Same for anything you’re willing to say about your own gods and goddesses, or any art of gods or related entities like angels.
>>96768148Yup, he's the only one. But there are some saints that inspire songs and stories too that are male. Just not actual gods.

>>96542635How about actually answering the question?
>>96537281I wouldn't worry too much about it. Lore for lore's sake is pretty pointless at the end of the day, and expounding on your setting's religions isn't mandatory.

Is it a good idea to ask the player to come up with a achievement list for their character to peruse ?
