Alright
what class + race are you planning on being?

>>92723974
Champion Fighter is basically the tutorial class, you don't do much but move and attack, however that doesn't stop it from doing tremendous damage on the field and being pretty hardy.

other hubs i popped
>exterminated giants when lead an attack to the city that was planned by the DM but premature because the party turned on my PC
>opened a magically sealed container that had a necklance and a black pearl, which turned out to be an uncontainable plague that wiped out a town and keeps spreading
>tired to transport part of the plague (weaponization/research) but it ate through a dragon hide bag and travelled downstream to murder another town

i raised concerns to the DM but he preplanned and did the "ebin handcrafted campaign where everything is connected" so we are stuck with the only hub being a city which criminalized magic and is semi-hostile/trashed from siege from point one and before siege i destroyed the only "good blacksmith" there
fuck me i guess i am the problem
not even sure ill roll a new character for the game at this point, im demoralised from getting shafted for interacting with the world
"high risk high reward" he said but he pavlov'd us through "high risk low reward"

>>92724133
Ouch, did the sealed container at least have a "do not open" sticker on it?

If you do roll a new character just go all-in and call yourself the "bringer of calamity" or something, worship whatever the nastiest deity of the setting is and try to bring about the end of civilization.
Could be funny.

Important (non-combat) roles in an adventuring party? Realisticaly speaking.

I figure you'd want a superhero system. Those are the only ones that tend to cover the scope from a relatively normal swordsman up towards somebody flying around and shooting lasers but they can't swim.
Mutants and Masterminds and Wild Talents are the games I see suggested most there. I tend to find the latter is a bit easier to parse, though that's just me. If you want something much lighter, I'd suggest Truth and Justice since it's even less crunchy, though that tends to lean more heavily on some of the narrative tropes, so might not be quite as ideal.

i'd just try to build it with an universal system. Use marine ranks for stating everything. One individualized magic system for every fruit. Haki as an universal magic system. Haki could be interesting. Blocking/Attacking opponents with stronger haki fatigues you more severely while doing so with those on equal footing does so moderately while fighting weaker ones does nothing at all. Invoking haki on your attacks could make it linger as extra armor. Solving hp bloat. A stronger opponent is only tankier due to haki and if that runs out they're just superhuman or whatever.
Fatiguing completely leads you into some burnout state where you are super vulnerable or something similar.

The metal victory point tokens are shoddy and hard to read. The rest of the components are of acceptable quality. I wish the tiles were smaller though. They fill the bag so much that in the early game it can be difficult to draw from the bag without accidentally looking inside. Tiles collections also have a large footprint on the table if you're going heavy into pharaohs, rivers, or monuments.

That is an old monster. Mechanically it isn't too bad but when you're looking at all those maps it can be a bit of a mindfuck.
Classic wargame though. Victory Games was the GOAT.

Lately, I've been more interested in getting old classics than modern garbage. I am also getting old classics rereleased, like Ra, for example. I've been looking for these classics and my research is going on like this:

>Thurns und taxis
>The king is dead
>El grande
>Money (knizia)
>Broom service
>Elfenland
>Labyrinth
>Mississipi Queen
>Keltis
>Kuhhandel
>Beat the buzzard

I need your opinions on these ones I'm interested in get, ate they good? They aged bad?

Probably running away from clone troopers but it's hard to say.
>Where was your character when Alderaan was destroyed?
No idea.
Where was your character when the Empire's forces invaded Hoth?
No idea.
Where was your character during the battle of Endor?
No idea. If she's alive and didn't get snatched up by the Empire, she'd likely be retired.

For that matter, how long do people live in Star Wars? With all the sci-fi tech, surely they have a much longer lifespan than regular Earth humanity.

>>92720686
In the Dunwhich Horror shortly after the birth of WIlbur, there are periods where Levine and Old Man Wheatly are seen with sores on their necks just like the cows they ordered to feed him and the Horror.

You could naturally make a perversion of the typical infant suckling dynamic where a vampire intentionally comes across as child like to parasitically bond with a person affecting them psychologically as well as physically.

They do their best to maintain their host until their demands ultimately burn them out and then they just finish them off before moving on.

It also made me think of the HIve from Destiny and their parastic relationship with the worms that gives them power. The worms grow hungrier the more you feed them and will feed to the point of self destruction if you cannot sate them. which even facilitated a system of tithing up the ranks to regulate and maintain a steady stream of killing to allow the Hive Gods to keep feeding their worms while allowing their underlings to do so as well.

Add a bit of cocoa to it too, syrup would work best but it's hard to find a good syrup that isn't super sweetened.

If a group routinely kills monsters and sells their most valuable parts, then this is standard practice. Doubly so if the group knows a necromancer always in the market for stable remains to experiment with. "Loot" just happens to be whatever has value that the PCs are willing to cart around and sell. I know 2e doesn't encourage anything beyond mindless combat, but it's better to have a mechanic and not need it than vice versa.

My 3.5/PF group has saturated the market with lizardfolk hides, dire wolf fangs, and giant frog parts and refuse to throw away the remaining ~40lbs. They've lost more money in special containers than they'd earn if they sold everything at full price. At this point, it's become a matter of principle and they're certain they'll run across a traveling merchant that'll buy everything.

>It looks like they dropped alignment though so there's not even that reason for them to be different things anymore, and since they also removed the ones from D&D there's even more reason to combine them.
They wont combine them because each faction has completely different ideologies. Both devils and demons hate daemons and will team up together to kill both. In fact, Pharasma allows a demon and a devil to sit at the portal to the daemon afterlife to allow them to convince damned souls to come either to Hell or the Outer Rifts (Abyss) instead of going to the soul eating daemons.

Devils hate demons for being chaotic ruinious bastards with no sense for hierarchy or how a fiendish society should be constructed, and demons hate devils for ruining there fun and freewheeling cruelty. Not to mention they all come from very different realms. I get that many here are remarkably stupid verging on literal retardation, but its not that hard to remember the differences between these creatures in regards to D&D and PF.

considering that the metallics and chromatics arent going to be printed in any Paizo books anymore and all current dragon NPCs will be retconned as to their type, yeah, they did need more dragons. Paizo specific dragos like Imperials, Outer, Planar, and others still exist, but the chromatics and metallics are gone and will not return. Even Golarion's few tenuous lore connections to Tiamat are also gone, with retcons on Apsu and Dahaks lore and reason for fighting.

I should've been clearer in the post: *I* don't need more dragons. I don't care what Paizo needs. That post was me ranking bestiary content on an imageboard unconnected to Paizo.

Fantastic racism is a trait they ironically share with the Enclave, but the Enclave take it a bit further. The BoS doesn't care about radiation damage and genetic purity, their beef with wastelanders is cultural. The BoS have the superior philosophies and training and therefore no others deserve and can be trusted with pre-war tech, at least not without the BoS educating them first (based on now non-canon FO1 endings).

Friendly reminder that Harold got turned into something visually identical to a ghoul, if not an actual ghoul by the more modern definition, basically overnight by exposure to the same vat substance that created the Master.

I'm not defending shit from the show cause I haven't seen it, but what a ghoul is and how they actually work has always been kept intentionally vague. But there's clearly several levels of ghoulification, so it's probably best to be cautious about generalizing things to apply to all ghouls universally.

I may be misremembering but in the last episode I'm pretty sure at one point Cooper's wife looks up at a darkened observation window in the upper room, with the way her pip boy chirped first implying she was getting instructions from someone not in the room. So the Big Boss isn't House/RobCo or West Tek or Big MT or any of the others. Could be the President, I suppose, who was said to be missing from public eye in the first ep. That would suggest it would really be the Enclave, and I don't think anyone would be surprised if the Enclave was really advocating for first strike with contingencies so that they would later emerge to reestablish America proper and thus be the sole surviving nation of the Great War. I mean that's pretty much their history already. As far as I know the only thing we never knew was who dropped the bombs first, which all things being said and done didn't really matter. But now that it's suggested Vault-Tec does it, well, that doesn't really make sense to me. If they're already the biggest corp in the US it makes zero sense destroying their customer base. All their cash will be worthless. It just makes more sense that a different kind of jingoistic supremacist force is behind things, which is the Enclave all the way.

Unless they add yet another super secret shadow organization into the mix. Fuck, I hope not.

It's probably just the Enclave again since it explains why the Enclave had the cold fusion macguffin at the beginning. Presumably the reason why they didn't use it is because the tech was secured pre-war but Moldaver kept the secret on how to activate it.

While on that topic, there's still some problems with the plot to me. Like why the hell did Moldaver have a bunch of psychotic raiders working for her in the beginning as opposed to her remnant NCR troopers? Or if she did, why were her NCR troopers indistinguishable from raiders? Seems like it's just to preserve the fakeout that her faction isn't raider at all but a peaceful community with happy kids and equality with ghouls. Which was kind of a letdown if only because it meant the end of the first season mirrored the shit that went down in Vault 4 where Maximus comes in like the cavalry to save Lucy only to learn, whoops, there wasn't an actual threat and he made everything worse. And why is there even still an active Enclave faction in the west? And how was the NCR completely crippled? Sure the loss of their capital would be a huge blow but they are composed of five states and major population centers such as Vault City, Redding, The Hub, with Big Brahmin Barons to boot. Plenty of big players to try to claim the whole pie. They survived a BoS nuclear strike that took out their gold reserves which was a far bigger issue, I'd warrant, since politicians are easier to replace than the basis for their currency. The water standard didn't do them any favors. Their president can also die in New Vegas and not cause any major changes. And why does Vault 31Team Middle Management have access to a goddamn nuke? If they're working with the Enclave why wouldn't they have used it during FO2? And - oh hell, there's a lot of little things.

Makes me nervous they're moving in on New Vegas territory. What else can the writers with?

going professional but still cute edition

In my opinion, the way the World Championship should work is this:

Start out with #1 rated player as Champion. Then, there is only a WC match if the WC is no longer #1 rated and it has been at least 2 years since the last WC match. The challenger in the WC match is always the highest rated player who isn't the WC and who doesn't decline the match.

Are you crazy? China will do a series of closed tournaments until one of the players "magically" gets to 2900.

Your implication doesn't follow from your scenario. Someone is inevitably going to rank up in that situation, it wouldn't even need to be falsified like you're scaremongering.

This guy just broke 1900 rapid in less than a year from starting chess.
What's your excuse?
