What about kobolds that are also warforged?

You've got to remember the context of the Cold War. France had been withdrawing from NATO since 1959, being fully removed from NATO integrated command and all foreign troops removed from French soil by 1966. Involvement with Vietnam was just as much about trying to keep France from becoming further isolationist in the event of a war in Europe. Also you have to remember that the USSR was just as willing to mess with internal politics of other communist nations for the own benefit, be it the direct military interventions in WarPact nations to keep them under heel or the economic and development requirements that came along with Soviet aid, to even just playing kingmaker with local politics.

>ensure they stil hate the US 50 years later, thats a thing as well.
Vietnam has an incredibly favorable opinion of the USA.

The objective as to stop the spread of communist faggotry south of Vietnam, it worked to some degree. Anyway "farmer with rusty AK" is a terrible meme and needs to die.

Using magic accelerates the heat death of the universe. Necromancer big bad hasn't been seen in a while because he built a computer out of skeletons, figured this out, and became a depressive recluse. He will explain this to the party and they will have an existential crisis if I have anything to say about it

The BBEG has won two centuries ago and unknowingly killed every person living back then. Every person right now is just a shard of the BBEG pretending to be a person. No one knows about this, even the BBEG remains ignorant and thinks the missing part of him was the result of the last attack of his old nemesis. The only clue is the fact that the population remains always at the same number, never shrinking or increasing.

>>77856783
The world is a dream/rewritten reality meant to satisfy a goddess’ specific fantasy. Most people aren’t actually sentient anymore, but are rather puppets of the goddess’ will. Her logic is that if she controls people’s lives then no actual sin exists. The people who have been aware of this and regained their sentience are powerless to stop the goddess.

There was a point in time to reverse the damage, but the PCs chose to live and become part of this fantasy world of hers.

You realise that's an actual thing right? Poles can be easily switched from fixed to rotating, but fun fact doing a proper pole gymnastics routine (not the half assed shit strippers do) is actually much more taxing since core muscles need to be constantly engaged to fight the inertia.

Is this really so bad? This hypothetical swordsmith elf has been living in a human city for centuries, and has always been crafting some of the best swords in the entire world. The swordsmith may have innovated multiple new methods of swordsmithing, and may have enlisted several apprentices. They are an extremely valuable asset to the community, and could have single-handedly placed the city on the map.

This is not that bad, either. There are benefits to being a Renaissance man, and someone who has mastered so many skills over such an incredibly long lifespan surely has a great many insights on interdisciplinary synergies. If they live in a human city, they are probably legendary for their skills as a polymath.

>>77856478
>But how do such urban elves not become the most skillful, masterful, and highly-respected savants in their respective human nations?
Who says they don't? Maybe the writers are retarded. Then don't continue their retardation and make these few elves the master of their craft like they logically should.
>Do these urban elves suffer from the same unspoken "learning disability" that afflicts elves tucked away into elven communities?
That does not exist and should therefore not be factored in.

But true, sometimes it feels like authors are afraid of the elfish potential of their sophisticated and skilled people coupled with their long lifespans. Such authors should be ridiculed.

Interesting how little bitching Time Spiral Rerun has caused. This is the first time they have straight up reprinted an entire expansion, name and all. People who shat their pants when Chronicles came out are strangely quiet now.

>>77857238
>This is the first time they have straight up reprinted an entire expansion, name and all.
Except that is literally is not what Time Spiral Remastered is. TSR is a mishmash of cards from the entire block, excluding any of the original Timeshifted cards from Time Spiral, and with a bevy of reprints from modern frame sets in the old frame instead. It has only a passing resemblance to the original Time Spiral set.

I also chose to include entire peopls and racial groups being ruthlessly exterminated.
i also chose to include slavery in all its various forms up to and including "meat being worked to death under the cruelest conditions imaginable"

I do a lot of kitbashing for our PCs whenever we start a new campaign etc. Sometimes it's extravagant, sometimes it's pretty minor like pic related.

>>77866607
These krugg are fantastic and a really good example of what I do with a lot of my old MK minis. I wasn't wasn't big fan of the krugg as a younger kid but these pics have got me interested in using tjem as some orcs/trolls/troglodyte kinda foes.

>>77873430
I worry about losing a character after all the hard work of customizing a mini for a pc, but that's also a huge part of the fun. I did a putty job on this guy, who was conveniently an old prepainted Draconian miniature.

My group is a bit better about it than most, we like to have a figure that at least comes close to matching the image in our heads. I know a few of us have been inspired by our choice of mini in how our characters look.

>>77873430
PCs also have a tendency to change equipment more than wargame units, with the possible exception of games like Mordheim.

>>77874874
>>77874831
Maybe that's more of an old school thing, in modern DnD I find it pretty rare for someone to trade out if theyre a lonsword kinda guy to an axe or crossbow kinda guy, or a plate armour kinda guy to a leather kinda guy. Periodically I've done "redos" of some of the more drastic stuff but it's pretty rare in our games?

Death is more likely, but hey that's when they either join their player's collection or the Big NPC Pile I guess.

So you're telling me you've been exposed to the tabletop gaming world since 17 years ago, but it took a podcast 11 years later to find out about role-playing games?
Or are you just doing a crossover gatekeeper bait?

At boarding school, wander into a temporary portacabin, get invited by the gremlins within to play HERO, become portacabin gremlin.

>>77855774
In middle school some guy forgot his Tau codex in the lost and found and never picked it up so I kept it.
Seeing the Tau enthralled me, the figures, the aliens, the sci-fi. That's what got me into miniatures. When I checked the site, games workshop still had the old site with battle reports and articles which was a hell of fun to read, and I was so close to playing Warhammer Fantasy. However there was an article of the Tau vs the Orks, whom have "slugga boyz" and that fucking name alone made me start Orks.

Mine came from wanting to get away from screens. At first it started with some board games and then from there I found a love miniatures when I started playing x wing several years ago. I lost the group that I used to play with but it fueled an interest for miniatures which also came from a love model trains. I got into killteam, then 40k and now im hoping to some day play historics with someone and make use of the models I got. Until then ill continue learning advanced squad leader to play solo.

In your pic I thought he just made the coin into gold. Really he was a dumbass who caused inflation all over the place because he didn't want to actually participate in the economy the way mortals did.

In your example the world probably would either do well because economies are based on the idea of scarcity currency or they move on to thing they can make themselves as currency note.

You think that Genghis Khan actually looked like John Wayne but slightly squinting don't you? I can't believe we've gotten to the point where actual racists like me are the only ones who see that humans are a diverse bunch rather than the amerigoblin 56% face corporatized racial slurry twittoids like to pretend we are. Asians actually do have squinted eyes and yellow(ish) skin, Africans actually do have ceremonial lip discs and wear grass skirts, as tribal people would on a hot ass continent. If you can't handle that people who live hundreds of miles away from eachother look vastly different then be a genocidal white supremacist, at least then you won't fall into unhealthy self loathing.

>>77879783
I think anon means that they know that you are angry, and they know the cause of the anger, but they don't know the WHY of that cause leads to that reaction.

>>77879969
They started acting guilty before we knew to be mad at them.

>>77880111

Pretty normal actually: IF they knew why you'd be angry (seeing poop on floor) they would NOT act "guilty" before they knew you've seen it. Fact is, they act "guilty" before of that because they don't even know you're angry because you've seen it, and certainly not because they get that "oh now master has to clear the floor".

>>77880164
They may not know exactly why, but they certainly understood that pooping on the floor made us mad, they’d act guilty before we discovered it because they knew they were going to get in trouble. It was also why they only did it when we were all out of the house, (we had a dog door) they did it because they were mad that we left them alone and pooped in the house out of spite.

>No DM ever sensibly goes around and checks,
Yes, that's my point. Most games ignore encumbrance rules because they're dumb. But if you WANT that sort of game, the rules are there.
>slot-based inventory limits
How would you do that in a way that doesn't feel like a fucking vidya?

Variant encumbrance mostly just punishes STR characters because their armor is heavy as fuck
While people who dump strength have light gear anyways and enough overhead to carry whatever else they need

>>77863659
Just because rules are there doesn't mean the rules are good or user-friendly or anything. And why does
>Just list all your items in one long list and honestly nobody ever is going to check if those items even have anywhere to go as long as you list them down and have the carry capacity
>Also just eat food every 4 days it's not like characters care about being hungry at all
feel less like vidya than
>Have kits of items in bundles that can be assumed to be camping bags, pouches and shit
A strong guy can simply just carry more bags. I don't think any one way is inherently more vidya-like than the other.

So you'd have a camping kit which includes all the basic comfort supplies and X days of water/food/etc supplies. Then you can have kits like:
>Ammo
>Extra food/water
>Thief (Caltrops, ball bearings, smoke bombs)
>Custom(Clear it out with DM or keep the weight system and specify it can't have more than, say, 40lbs of weight)
>Spare set of armor/clothes/whatever
>Weapon holsters (categorize weapons as big(3), medium(2) and small(1) and allow 6 points worth of weapons, for example)
>Clergy/priest/spiritualistic pack (Holy water, wooden stake, holy symbol etc)
>Medic pack
>Tool kits
>Scholarly pack
Yes, kits sort of do already exist but like this it'd be easier to organise and you can say that DMs can assume that a kit contains stuff on the fly rather than having to look it up (but failing that, there's always a hard list of suggestions the DM can't deny the kit has)

Heard from a friend of a friend that Dan got fired for feeling up the CEO’s husband during one of the Twitch livestreams

Did they retcon the do-it-yourself terrain rules? I can't find anyrhing in that stupid new terrain book. Because of the old rule that makes the cover better when you use more personal items to built them, I spent a shitton of used condoms to build a tower that's exactly 37,6 cm high, so my men are exactly unchargeable from the ground and exactly too low for a strafing melee attack from flyers. It took almost two days to jizz that much, and now there are no rules for it?
