/tg/ - Traditional Games

Begone, Brand. You're a pale shadow of the prior setting (and the original adventure) and your upcoming book looks worse.

>>77863134
It need not be so. How you play a game need not be the easiest mode, nor even the most PC friendly one.
You can have body horror, dread, brutality, you can really make people feel uncomfortable and push them to face the difficulty of facing against a near demigod.
You can force players to hunt clues on weaknesses, give them literally blood stained notes with strange ciphers they must crack, legitimately. You can provide them notes using invisible ink which are layered into plainly visible notes.
Have monsters that brutally rend flesh from victims, consuming of people's brains to puppet bodies, deal with the deaths of children, rape, the consequences of unsafe abortions on both child and parent plus their souls... Bring fear for one's safety into the game and make it creep outward.
The books are a starting point, not the be all and end all.
I have the old Ravenloft stuff at my disposal, and the Tomb of Horrors, and everything else... The world is mine to craft - as horrifying as I want it to be.
My shit is so racist with the Dusk Elves and Vistani, they're only a step away from being monsters, with the only thing separating them from monsters is their level of intelligence.

Instead of making up new words for combinations of multiple emotions that no one is familiar with, why not just list the simultaneous emotions instead like a reasonable person?

She looks at you, her mechanical eye flashing as she checks up on human interaction protocols via the noosphere, before turning away slightly and saying "Thank you. It is my duty and my honor to keep my wargear in top condition at all times, for the honor of the machine-spirit."
She's pale enough that the blush is obvious however.

>>77865016
no the first wave of primashits was definitely worse

I'm assembling this, and wondering if I should glue all the stories together or keep them separate and stack them when game time comes around

>>77865955
This. I don't mind how they're doing it now. You get more mechanical benefits for being mono, but soup will always let you get units that supplement your army's weaknesses. Of course, it's a fine line of balancing so GW will probably fuck up at some point.

That entire segment of the game, I was saying to myself I'm getting exp for this, right? Some super cool item? Some gil at least?" I was obviously disappointed.

If you do this awful thing, make it move the plot forward, be engaging, and last only 15 minutes.

I just pictured this with our own BBEG and I'm dying over here

>>77860966
Not exactly a quote but I have an oath of the ancients paladin who's like don quixote. We found the ring of the nibelung and I wrote his response:
>"This is a relic of a bygone era, forged in the belly of a great wyrm by three legendary dwarves. A band hewn of hellish earth and wrought of abysmal steel. For the war of the gods; to fight ragnarok. The end of days. Upon us all, the end of an era... The end of days."
And the geriatric man-whose moss kissed flesh sank as an ancient wind bellowed forth from his satyr like nostrils; whose once heavenward crown of brambled chitin drifted low and the curtains of his dew soaked eyes shut close- creaked low to the earth and pearched upon the grass, all the while his feet seemed to barely sustain the once statuesque body above them- as if his body weighed twofold. "Just once... I could kill the sun of this day and pull out the heart of old from it, restoring a moment in the past... But it would bring about an uncertain future."

Yo that was cringe as fuck. I'm verbose and wordy, but this excerpt is horribly worded and terribly banal.

Ive heard people here talk about the nu Thrawn ones pretty positively overall. I did hear the phasma book was much better and they did her dirty in film

Childhood is preferring Genndywars because TCW didn't exist yet.

Adulthood is still preferring Genndywars for being superior.

All flash, no substance

>>77860810
I liked the first and last arcs of TCW S7 more than Rebels
The middle is bleh
Overall TCW was more consistent (even if it had its lows) while Rebels was a quality roller coaster (high highs but really low lows)

If there's no player character as them, I'd call them "Them" to portray a sense mystery before the players meet them. You might see them all about doing various things, but as far as anyone is concerned, it's "One of them" until the players take enough curiosity to investigate.

Then based on their inquiry, build the background on that.

>If you have to go very far away you'll face an enormous amount of checks
Well, I roll checks on a day by day basis. Even if the players get extremely unlucky and face 4 encounters a day, That’s part of the fun of wilderness exploration. I don’t roll checks for multiple days at once, just one day at a time

>>77879465
Ok, I can tell you’re butt flustered about something and looking to drag me into some dead troll war. I’m out this thread. Peace

You were doing well until you outed yourself. Just woke up, huh? See you in about five hours as always.

>>77877313
I’ve actually combined both modules. I replace the Keep with Hommlet, and I’ve put the Moathouse in B2’s wilderness map, on the south area where it says there’s a chance to find a bandit camp. I’ve actually run two sessions of this campaign so I don’t know how it played to the players, but it actually does fit really well.

Lots of people throughout the world do stupid things. The fact that a few small, isolated tribes are able to survive by barely supplementing their food intake with meme hunting in the newbie zone doesn't mean humans are evolved for it.

>>77860727
The opposite actually. WotC is saying most differences will be cultural rather than biological.

>>77860578
so the erectus looks like like some random african with more hair and the neanderthal looks italian. nice to see that we let less developed species into society

>>77861330
I mean, for a good modern incarnation, PbtA based stuff usually handles "classes" pretty well (or at least the good ones do, which is a bit of a tautology but w/e).

>>77861330
I have a bad expiriene with classless sytems.
Only one I actually like is Chronicels of darknes.

>>77861322
I wonder why this is not mainstream. Sounds really good.

>>77876854
>Crucifix
We're talking 5e or at least D&D here, right? A crucifix isn't a thing in the official settings I know and letting any holy symbol kill or incapacitate them might be a bit much. I agree it should do something though, maybe give the Vampire disadvantage.

Decapitation and staking should just work on vampires that are already down. It shouldn't be an in-combat thing though.

>>77877168

>>77860076
I did a few things for my home game.
First, only make him appear once every 3 sessions at most. When he fights your players while they're underleveled have him be a smug prick about it, especially as they run away. Play him as if the players are nothing but a mild inconvenience to him (you know the whole hates not the opposite of love, it's apathy thing)
And lastly use the CR 27 Real Devil Strahd stat block.

>>77869897
I thought those were all common assumptions?

>>77869863
Wait, so Aizen killing Tousen was genuinely him doing his friend a favor?

>>77869885
>he just had to feed Ichigo some bullshit and he could probably get some captains killed for free
Yeah, no, that's never happening. Especially after the Aizen arc and/or if Isshin or Urahara get involved in literally any way.

>>77865922
>not handling communications/navigation support
>not suiting up and being a super cute battle couple
>not being the planetkiller weapon she inevitably has to use yet again because it's not a Metroid game until there's one less habitable location in the galaxy
You're probably right, but there's still ways to be there for her if you're willing to make the effort.

>>77869897
It's not that Taylor is worthless. It's that she's a colossal fuckup who makes life harder for herself. You could absolutely make something worthwhile out of her, if you're willing to deal with her bullshit for a bit until you've smacked some sense into her. Reed Richards absolutely is a worthless fuckup, though.

>>77859908
Being unaffected by your own attack is not a nuissance, it's a convenience.
And if it's not persistent, you don't need the safespot - the Aura already covers it.

Little girl pls send nudies

If they have any backstory then yes

I'm not being antagonistic when I ask this, why does it matter?

hmm where do you think these npcs and antagonists exist?

Depends on how they fit in the world. If they reflect the culture, system, politics, or religion of a area, they are reflective of the world. some loner who lives out in the woods by choice has less chance of doing that.

>>77859624
If you're populating a location you've created, then yes, they're part of your world. I'd argue that making NPC's isn't directly a part of world building, especially if its just for a random encounter table or an offshoot idea like "What if there was a human king who allied with chromatic dragons to protect his people, but all the other kingdoms are being ransacked by these dragons?". I feel like character creation is more of a part of creating the story and quests for your world and campaign since they're the vehicle that lets players progress and interract with the world you've made.

>>77864245
Bitch the ENTIRE concept of the STC is that there is NO POINT in NEW technology admech wants to stick to the OLD technology.
If you can't even recognize THAT basic concept, I HIGHLY doubt you are can be right about anything else
> ... reads your post
Oh great so you really don't know anything.
Show me the Ynnead models and faction in pre 7th 40k. Oh? Its not there?
Show me Daemon Prinarch rules and models, IN A FUCKING CODEX, not Angrons one off rules from a white dwarf, and how they have been used in 40k before the end of 7th.
EVERY FUCKING ELDAR CODEX has been with blurbs stating the ekdar are a dying race. Since literally 3rd ed. But now we have an entire Ynnead faction.
As for Tyranids, they are a side show are best at this point. Oh noes Devestation of Baal... yet the entire threat of Leviathan attacking from beneath the galaxies plane is forgotten. Ghaz is now this super ork and the reincarnation of "the Beast" which has been ginned up out of nowhere.
The traditional 40 "teb minutes to midnight" has been thrown in the garbage. The Eye of terror is broken. The imperium is split. Primaris and Carl, which you even ADMIT you can't account for, are here.
There is zero point trying to say "oh this is still traditional warhammer."
They dont give a shit about lore when it comes to making money (see 40k, the fucking birth of Age of Sigmar).
There is no reason to say oh well its always like this when they PLAINLY have changed things as needed and as desired.
So there is no reason why they MUST keep some retarded "the LRL are brainwashing people!!!!" Subplot because "oh its grimdark and thats warhammer"

Anyone know good paint schemes for the current daemonettes.

Alternatively a good place for recasts of the classic ones.

or extra alternatively a good (reasonably priced) 3rd party daemonettes? (the only ones I can think of are raging heroes which look nice imo but are $25 for 5...)
