As a reward for clearing the skeletons out of the castle, your party has been given nine thousand pounds of wheat.
>>90409776Clearly, we pay the bakers with a percentage of the breadThey probably know how to make profit out of it
>>90409571Is it siloed, or just sitting in a big pile like that?
>>90409571well that's a rather underwheatlming reward
>>90409571I dole out the wheat to the commoners, keeping just enough to make some small loaves for myself. Let the people eat.
>>90409571That's... 90gp worth of wheat.Y'know what? Let the peasants have it. It'll give us a boost in reputation.

>>90410037I've had these temptations and have ended up adding too much shit to my worlds, making them cluttered messess.
I used to have an obsession with scale, because I thought:>hell yeah galactic conflict, billions of lives at stake!but I came to see that that bigger scale would end up diminishing the stakes and make the conflict seem nebulous and distant. I realized that war is alot more interesting when it takes plave on a limited board. So I ended up limiting my story to just a single planet, which made it alot more interesting and easier to track.

>>90410045sorry, english-only bans*, I briefly forgot the rest of the world exists (common american habit)
>>90409834>>90409696basically. BSS looks too much like its for middle schoolers. WIXOSS at least has the pedo and coomer crowd.hmm maybe they should switch to BSS for the same reasons.
>>90410219>BSS looks too much like its for middle schoolersThat would be fine on its own (see: digimon), it's just ALSO so generic.
The BSS frames look cheap due to the formatting. an empty box with some off center text looks amateur to fuck. It's like they didn't even hire a graphics designer or whatever you calm the person who ensures shit like this looks good..

whats the knightiest character you've made yet, anon? I got revised class options cavalier with Knight of Solamnia background and Order of Crowns feat. If you have a level 1 feat I took shield expert since a knight should be a bulwark. I went Aasimar instead of human because I was trying to make the Heroes of Might and Magic Knight and in HOM&M 5 they can heal once or twice.

Honestly if they're doing away with all racial penalties, may as well let players choose their stat spread.>You can still give races with amazing racials worse stats, you just give them worse totals instead of making the bonus to str>You can still give "recommended" spreads for autismos that want what's canon
>this is what 99% of 40k games actually look likeWhy are 40kfags like this?
>>90405689>This is probs better than any other wargame out there?The 40k community is hopelessly ignorant.
>at least 1 army is paintedThis is already unrealistic.
>>90403915The mindset of 40k being a competitive game invades the thoughts of most of the player base. Even people who would scoff at the idea of going to a tournament are affected by it, and you end up with these games that frankly look unaesthetic. No regards to force theming or organization, bunching armies inside deployment ruin cover, subconscious attraction to power gaming, ect. It's not helped by GW actively pushing it, but the scale of the 40k community is also to blame imo. Lots of people just show up for a pickup game with strangers when they play, and in such a situation they are only interested in their own experience instead of elevating the game as a whole like you find with a game club running historicals. After all, 99% of the time you are just going to run into other people playing this way, so why make yourself the punching bag in a shitty game by trying to be different? It's an unfortunate case of crabs in a basket because you can't trust the wider community to have some integrity, or even care about game aesthetic at the end of the day. Only solutions are to have a good club or just take it on the chin until you find someone like-minded.
>>90404582>has an emotional reaction to X>spends significant amount of time discussing and following X>says X is too popular and therefore ruining YWhat is it with this mindset? I seriously don’t understand it. If a corporate product is bad I don’t have any desire to engage with it at all, let alone seethe about how I really really don’t like it. Is your entire identity just a list of products you like and want to be associated with?
We don't talk enough about games that aren't RPGs or TCGs. Anyways, what do you guys think of Jenga? I just found out it's the 40th anniversary this year.
>>90405954cheeky bastard
For me, it's High Frontier 4 All or bust.
Have you tried looking in the board games general where they talk about board games generally?
>>90407729I don't think it's very fair to dedicate the whole board to maybe three and a half games while banishing everything else to generals.
>>90405155Drunken Giant Jenga is the best party game. Beer in one hand at all times, if you knock over the tower you gotta take a shot or two of something strong.

Do GMs make bad players?
>>90395103From my experience forever GMs do.I have lived scenarios similar to these with them:>>90395242>>90400831My old forever GM (I don't play with him anymore because has the bad habit of abandoning his current campaign to start a new one all the time) the few times he gets to play always ask the GM to let him play a unique race, class, mechanic or start with some kind of McGuffin relevant to his character backstory because he never gets to play. These characters were joke characters 80% of the time that had not much interest in the actual plot of the camping and rather followed their self-made backstory plot hook.In different instances, I played with GMs who were the forever GMs of my friends, and these GMs as players always expended all their daily resources as fast as they could even if we were only fighting low-level mobs, and once they ran out of resources wanted to rest (we didn't let them obviously, we only got like 2 fights in since the last rest). They also pushed forward alone if they get bored of the party talking about what to do next (or the party was planning to do something they didn't want) knowing that if they triggered a fight or get into danger the rest of us would come to help because we are not assholes. There were also instances of metagaming mechanics but I'm not in the mood to write those.
One of the benefit of being GM before playing is that you get to see how easily players just fail naturally, so when you're on the other side as a player you accept the outcome of any action more easily.
>>90395103I sure do. Then again, I'm a bad GM, too!
I mostly GM, so when I do play I tend to not get quite as invested in the game as the other players because I know most of the tricks. GMing is a lot like being a magician, and it involves all kinds of misdirection and sleight of hand to create the illusion of a living world that also coincidentally provides a sense of purpose and excitement and all that other jazz. And, knowing how the tricks work changes how you watch a magician. It's less "wow, where did the rabbit come from" and more "that's a nice fluffy rabbit. Fluffier rabbits are much easier to slip into the hat because they look much bigger than they are."But, I can also sympathize with the other GM, and when he needs an assistant to make a trick work, I tend to be the volunteer. Spooky dungeon? Got it, act intimidated. DMPC we're supposed to love and be impressed by? Wow, he's so cool. Obvious trap but triggering it will add a lot of tension and drama? Whoopsie.
>>90403116Same. I was considering quitting one of my two groups and I realized it was because I'm not the DM. The DM isn't even doing a bad job but in the back of my head I am complaining about things.

>>90410006I'll argue that spike's true form is the paypig/whale. They don't care about how cool or interesting the game is. Just about having all the powerful expensive pieces.
>>90410139Given that they've added other categories over time, I'd say that whales are probably a separate psychographic or are a subset of Spike. They care less about the game and more about collecting or hoarding for the sake of reselling. Each one has subsets within it, like how Timmys are also the social players that see the game as a way to get together and have fun.The other two are on a separate axis and overlap with the base 3.>MelvinCares about specific mechanics and the interactions involving them. Typically associated with Johnny, but Johnnys aren't always purists. It'd be like if a player preferred playing Armor decks, Digi-Burst decks, self-discard decks, etc. They're married to the mechanical interaction, not the deck.>VorthosFlavor-focused players. They like how lore and mechanics intersect and favor strategies and cards that are evocative of what they depict. They'd probably get a kick out of Marcus decks because they simulate how Marcus behaved in the show.
Let's try something, /dcg/.Aside from the obvious stuff coming such as:>promo saberdramon with raid/retaliation>wisdom trainingHow would you fix/improve Ravemon? Why does Bandai fear the purple bird so much?
>>90404590As of today while looking for the rb01 box, I've seen those for Pokemon, MtG, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Metazoo. So I think it's just a way to deal with old/overstock and not sell everything in those cardboard sleeves that get stolen all the time
