He can't keep getting away with it...
It is what it says in the title, lads. Talk about it. Post art. Share stories. If you're a DM, tell us about your Eberron. Is it more of a pulpy adventure, gritty noir, a bit of both, or something else entirely? If you're a player, tell us about your character. Yeah.
>>72871150My least favorite aspect of the setting, by far, is the precise way the quori of the Dreaming Dark, the aberrations of the daelkyr, the fiends of the Lords of Dust, the dragons of Argonnessen, and similar supernatural conspiracies are handled. Do not misunderstand me; I absolutely love them in overall concept, and the quori in particular are by far my favorite antagonist faction. I simply think that the setting shills these supernatural conspiracies *too* hard, by fluffing them up to the all-powerful masterminds who can, despite their limitations, effortlessly play vast societies of pathetic mortals like violins. The 3.5 Eberron books are especially guilty of this, particularly the class levels of the Inspired and the epic CRs of many dragons and Ashtakala council members.Too often, I find myself looking at the politics and power groups of the mortal societies and thinking, "How have all of these not been compromised by one of the many supernatural conspiracies?" For the benefit of myself and my players, I have had to produce lengthy paragraphs explaining how, in my Eberron, the supernatural conspiracies are not *that* strong, their power levels are nowhere as high as advertised, their numbers are extremely limited due to a number of factors, and so on and so forth.I prefer a version of Eberron wherein mortals are still the most powerful factions on the block, and there is definitely room for more mortal conspiracies steering things behind the wheels. The supernatural conspiracies can still exist and be important, but I prefer to couch them as operating in the shadows because they would be completely annihilated if they were to be exposed.That is one of my major peeves with the setting, anyway. It is most likely an unpopular opinion.
>>72871161To put it another way, I like having Eberron's supernatural conspiracies around, and I think they should be heavily featured in the setting. However, I think that they should *not* be couched as so all-knowing and all-powerful; I would much rather see them be *forced* to work in the shadows due to significantly limited numbers and relatively limited power, like in some urban fantasy series. Mortal ambitions should still have a very strong place alongside supernatural conspiracies.
>>72871176I like this- you could also do a "gambit pileup" plot: have the players hired by one faction to do a job, only for them to run into two or three rival groups hired by other factions to do the same thing. Better yet: it turns out the other adventuring groups have run into each other many times before and become adept at scamming the various factions. They give themselves minor cuts and bruises and smash up the location to make it look like they had a fight over the mcguffin, actually winning it in a quick dice game unless someones client has been threatening to fire them.
>>72870640OP here. As much as I like Eberron, I gotta agree with you on the planes anon. Dolurrh and Mabar always felt to me like they're basically the same place, same goes for Syrania and Irian. It's also weird how there are planes for fire an ice, but not earth and water. And how the hell does Thelanis actually work?
>>72871134Yeah, the prophecy is intentionally vague and cryptic, it's up to the DM to decide how to use it in the campaign, what it's significance is, and where it's going
In the interest of hosting quick-paced, single-session games in the 4chan boards without dice, has /tg/ made any systems over the years that use post numbers to determine rolls? Something that takes the last, maybe second to last numbers, dubs, with skill modifiers adding or subtracting to the result?
You'll get shut down for running a quest, because the mods consider actually playing tabletop games to be against the rules.
>>72873695Why? That's fucking gay.
>>72873695It depends on the board. Aside from /qst/ itself, /bant/ once had a healthy pesudo-traditional games community that played stuff like RISK and a simple RPG that used a script to convert posts into stats.>>72873724Whiny faggots gonna whine at them until they do something. It's just /tg/ that gets hit with this, even though /tg/ is one of the few boards with actual dice abilities.
>>72873695I think if I could throw something together on /b/ or /bant/ I'd be fine. Like >>72873760 says, /bant/ used to run games all the time during its golden years.
>>72873724Because they were so frequent it was making the pre-catalog 4chan a chore to use, not to mention the sliders trying to bury quests they don't like with spamming.
"Augmentations you probably don't want the magos knowing about."/tg/ Whose Line is it Anyways thread go!
>>72873343Do you reckon orks paint their dicks red to go faster?
>>72873420Considering Orks almost definitely don't have dicks because they're fungus, there's nothing to paint.Some smartass runtherd has probably wandered the fields the youngin's crawl out of the ground at spraying red paint everywhere bellowing "GIT UP YA GROTS THERE'S CRUMPEN' TA DO"
>>72873149See, there's a reason you don't see Coglasses sleeping with non-cogs.They're dicks aren't stylish enough for them.
>>72873170Listen if you don't have the 34th Litany of Reactor Repair written in neon electoos directly above your crotch don't even fucking talk to me.
>>72873528Orks don't need dicks, but they have them anyway because they believe in big dick power.
I don't want damnation that a succubi would give me but am a sucker for chicks with antlers and scottish accentsWould a fey/fairy queen be a step better?
I think having nature shit like dryads, fairies and nymphs actually be nice and friendly is underrated. I hesitate to even say fey because that brings up such connotations of dickery if not near-evil.I'm not saying don't include neutral or evil shit, just having a nice ent that wants to chatter at you like an old man sounds comfy, or naiads that plead with passing adventurers to drive away a camp of bandits that are throwing their trash in their river and afterwards leap out of the water like mermaids to give you a quick kiss before diving back in with a giggle.
>>72870027>Would a fey/fairy queen be a step better?Not by much, but at least your doom will be a little more creative and interesting>>72870310>they also usually only take extremely charismatic or attractive people as a rule, so you're probably out of luck already desuAlso this. Most of us aren't cute or fun enough for fairy love>>72870781Fey are meant to be fickle and whimsical, meaning sometimes they should be doing something they think might be beneficial, sometimes just trying to squeeze entertainment out of people, and sometimes they should be dicks. The norm should be that you don't know what to expect.
>>72871183But not everything nature related has to be fey.
>>72870315Give source you absolute faggot
>>72870027Fey are just as bad if not worse then devils and demons
I'm drunk post your Elo score and discuss chess you fags.
>>72870939You're right, I didn't think it through, white can only defend on one side of the board and whichever side he picks the black king just goes to the other side of the board and wins thereI hate endgames it's why I'm bad at chess
b ump
How to get better at endgame? These kind of puzzles are fucking infuriating.
>>72873906>These kind of puzzles are fucking infuriating.yeah and you wont figure them out properly EVER if you only keep solving puzzles on lichess. read the first few pages of capablanca's chess fundamentals and youll be able to solve these types of scenarios in your sleep.

>>72872876I can't imagine a GW to be super competitive. The one in the area had a tournament that was dominated by our LGS top player who was undefeated in the last league we had. Like, it wasn't even a contest. GW stores in general are pretty casual, and I mean that in a positive way. It was refreshing to see these two newer players banging out 1k-1.5k games last time I was there.
>>72872876>How likely am I to find someone who wants to play campaign style kill team in a random GW store?Between Covid and the campaign system being terrible that's unlikely.Read the actual rules then read the FAQ, you are likely to be able to get plenty of pick up games, and stores may do leagues, but I don't think anyone plays campaign.Campaign rewards you for not playing. If you and your friends decide to play campaign, and you only play one game, but the rest of them play twenty, you won.
>>72872876>sorryNo worries, its just a good resource for newbs. As for competitiveness, that varies from store to store. In my experience though store regulars aren't that great at the game, even if they take themselves seriously.Campaigns are a signficant time investment so probably not but casual games can definitely be had.I would still suggest not leaning too hard into the Caac/Rule of Cool side of roster building if you can avoid it though. You can build lists that autolose. 20 guardsman might be fluffy but it will lose and be no fun for you or your opponent while it does so.
>>72872876consider tabletop simulator
>>72872818>It's a tourney-focused rule for the most part.That seems a little reductive IMO, the roster system is kind of a cornerstone of the whole game regardless of whether or not you're playing tournies.
someone tell me, what was it REALLY like in medieval time?
>>72873749Remember we are talking about 1000 years, the very few witch trails in 100 years are nothing
>>72869941The group hears rumours of a dungeon in the wilderness. Louis asks around and finds that the area is owned by Baron Greenfield, who is an ally of Baron Summerland, but whose seat of power is far from the dungeon. The players safely loot the dungeon and return to town with 100gp each. They spend the loot on meat, horses, and donations. Baron Summerland hears that his vassals have far too much money during peacetime. He shows up with a bunch of knights and interrogates them. While Louis and Albrecht are spared torture, Honorius is beaten nearly to death (below the waist, because he's a wizard), and Gwendolyn is hung from the nearest tree. The Baron finds out about the dungeon and the looting. Fearing war with Baron Greenfield, he revokes Louis' grant and title, and sends him with an armed escort to Baron Greenfield's seat of power to be tried and executed as a commoner. Honorius is kept as a battlefield mage and never trusted again. Albrecht is dispatched to the Bishop of Six Falls who severely chastises the poor priest and threatens to defrock him.
>>72873508>They weren't killed for being witches, they were killed for believing in witchcraft!No, they didn't. The church prosecuted only heresy, and even then it had to be n active and poignant kind of heresy, like a nobleman constantly trying to spread some different cult even after being told to stop. The people who killed witches were the townfolk, and the church commonly had to intervene to stop the madness and remember everyone that witchraft didn't exist and anyone accusing a fellow peasant of practicing it would be put in the naughty list for spreading baseless rumours and terror.
>>72869941Fuck of realism fag.im gonna tell you something from the middle ages:People didnt sit on chairs, they sat on chests.Chairs were too simmilar to thrones so only important people go tthem.Also, there were no permanent tables.There, you just learned something faggot.Somehting from the middle ages that youll also never use in your games, because it isnt something to fuel your superiority complex.Dumb realismfag.
>>72873418I've never had a professor tell me that shit was facts.No, the problem is that students believe it's facts even though the professors try to get through their heads that taking a single semester of psychology doesn't make them experts in the field.That's where the dissonance comes in. People take one or two classes in something, figure they know everything there is to know, later find out it's complicated, and then blame their professors, the ones telling them this exact shit, for the shit happening.This is not to excuse those professors who do preach like this, because they do exist and they are a fucking blight.Teaching people shit is complicated and nuanced is hard, teaching them to believe in absolutes is easy. One bad professor ruins the hard work of dozens of good ones.

So someone from 40k, probably someone of noteworthy importance, gets dumped on the Warhammer Fantasy world (assuming End Times and AoS is not canon to this situation).

I see tons of complaints about the current state of GW and 40k in particular. The writing style has changed, game designers kowtowing to investors and ocd tournament players rather than fleshing out a good universe etc.Why is this? Quite simply the original creative people behind the game are long gone. So instead of complaining about it let's talk about what those people are doing now. What projects and teams are they working on?
Someone needs to bring up Spectre. The guy designed it to be as close to a tabletop representation of a real life firefight as possible and I always felt he did a great job.

>>72872819>Stimulating imaginationBad goy, just buy the models and assemble it exactly as the instructions say.Then get excited for more models.
I don't pay the closest attention but I have not seen one single person complaining that GW is somehow pandering or submitting to the whims of so-called "tournament players"

>>72873218Yeah normally it'd just be Equipment but I figured "weenie" artifacts might work since blue tends to tutor and white seems to put things out from the hand. Maybe I'm off base though. >cardsThese seem fine for what they're intended.
>>72873218Artifacts from hand to battlefield is secondary in white (and white has artifact friendliness at secondary as well).

What types of things is it going to put into play?>>72873211Install Beleren. You don't need a color indicator since its mana cost is right there. First ability needs to be a "whenever" since it happens multiple times. Wouldn't make the second ability a "may," just have it be obligatory. I assume this thing is made for commander? Seems very nasty in a multiplayer game.>>72861505I like that the blocks are distributed now, makes it a lot more interesting when you can't just slam everything onto one creature and hit for lethal.

I don't know what the powerlevel of the set is, but that ability isn't very good for 4 mana plus the mana of whatever enchantment you put on it, then you have to have both the Reclaimer and the aura survive until your next turn and the card you reveal might not even meet the criteria. Maybe make it cost less or make it trigger the first time Reclaimer becomes enchanted? As-is, it's pretty weak for a rare. You could also make it go crazy and have it trigger for each aura on it and then give you the option to put the revealed card on the bottom if you like. If you want to make it cost way less you could make it only bring in nonland permanents.> NegotiationDoesn't really seem like a mono-black draw spell, despite the discard effect.
