Update on the plastic sisters.

THEY FUCKED UP THE REPENTIA.

>>422755

Meh. "Macro" incinerator? It doesn't require a titan or even superheavy tank hull (like Volcano cannon), it doesn't deserve "macro".

>>422897

+bad luck on exploding vehicles, maybe?

>Another card game with pozzed, out-of-touch developers

Glad I never started it then.

Bloody shame every developer has to push his pozz shit into my face.

Sorry to break it to you but interracial homosex couples aren't really that common and neither will they be in the future...well, maybe a dystopian one so it might fit with the setting :^)

>>421715

I get the feeling Leigh Alexander loves them primarily because NBN has always been good and it's easier to win games with them. I want to say NBN is my favorite, but I'm afraid it's because deep down I'm just a WAACfag.

>>421738

And you are completely wrong. She has stated that she is completely terrible at the game, with no interest in competition (as you would expect from someone like her...), and that it's the thematic elements she is in love with. No, it is actually kind of horrifying how she is, in a life imitating art sort of way.

This was many years ago, before the name became notorious. I remember listening to a podcast where she was a guest, wondering who this person even was, why she was a guest for some reason, and being kind of irritated that there was an interview with someone who didn't even like the game itself that much. It's only in retrospect that it became something so damning and painfully lacking in self awareness.

>called living card games

>but they're dead because no one plays them

also why would anyone designing one of these games not just make the rules so you have to go singleton when building a deck?

seems like the most sense to me

>>421715

>Pretty much this. Netrunner is set in a dystopian multiculti hellhole, so much of it fits. The cast consists almost entirely of powerful corporations and self-centered criminals in a bleak and shitty world all doing shitty things. Shit like Chaos Theory's BY THE WAY DID I TELL YOU ABOUT MY TWO DADS BECAUSE I HAVE TWO DADS AND THEY'RE GAY

Why couldn't it just say "parents" instead of explicitly "dads"?

I asked to elaborate because sometimes it is supposed to be degenerate. For example, the Brujah clan in VtM is all about rebelling.

>The Brujah's Compulsion is that the vampire takes a stand against whatever or whomever they see as the status quo in the situation, whether that is their leader, a viewpoint expressed by a potential vessel, or just the task they were supposed to do at the moment.

So [current year] activists and commies like Damsel aren't drifting too far from the original vision but I think that a non-pozzed writer would have fixed that by having a section of Brujah accuse those as being posers and I don't just mean the antitribu.

>>421690

Why don't you drill the pieces and pin them together? Afterwards you can fill any gaps with putty like greenstuff.

Joking aside, I recently picked up some first edition warmachine/hordes starter sets. I used a two component epoxy glue to get shit to stick together, in addition to the regular pinning. This will still leave some gaps, so I had to grab a tiny bit of milliput to make everything look nice, but it filled all the big voids very well. The models are now very solid, I ended up using the pin + epoxy method to get the very top heavy warbeasts to stick to the bases as well. And I only broke 1 drillbit over the course of 3 sets.

Keep weight in mind when constructing the base, metal miniatures like to break when they topple over. Heavier bases are sturdier. If you're not going for a tournament legal model, grab a bigger base as well

>>421716

Yeah base wise i'm certainly not using the shitty little square puck he overhangs. He comes with 3 Gnoblar minis you could use that are all either pushing him or exhausted because at least in 6th, i dont know if it changed later, these things are a walmart browsing tumblrcunts wet dream where their fat ass is moved around by slaves who in this kit are fucking exhausted.

Maybe a nice snowy cliff with a frozen waterfall.

waste of cash. same as warhammer.

>>421259

Trading card games are skinner boxes with the goal of getting people addicted. They are lootboxes before lootboxes were a thing in video games.

Its the most unhealthy hobby inside /tg/.

As someone who plays YGO

>no set rotation

>wide variety of tier 2-3 decks

>Fair-ish meta, most tier 1 decks involve back and forth interaction

<shortprints and few reprints of good stuff

<banlist can be stupid

<irl cards are expensive

<meta has been repetive the last few formats

Cost, power creep, and gimmicky set effects that never return.

>>421259

I like that its run by SJWS and tits are not allowed in their religion. but they will convert you to being gay as hard as they can.

>>418851

Despite e-celebs being retarded and stirring a bunch of shit over GS, the series is relatively popular and is getting a lot of speedy work when it comes to localizing the manga, the light novels, and the anime. If we're lucky, we could get a translated version within the next year or so.

>>418854

I'm not so sure. Dark Souls is far more popular and I don't think any company is translating the TTRPG.

>>421685

>make new threads

>post more often

Feels like you're going against the very thing you were against earlier this year. What makes our board worth sticking around for is the slow pace, quality posts, and long lived system specific threads. That's all sorta died over the last couple years, and now due to our popularity, we have a bored(board) cross poster who appears to attack any board that's more populated, and attempts to derail any discussions. I'd rather we were never on the top board list, and have our old quality over being fast and furios with toxic memes and bullshit fake dialogue. Our numbers can't stop an bot attack every time. First time, it was basically just three anons who saved a few threads. I wasn't even aware there was a second attack, as I've stopped keeping a tab opened since the glow niggers started settling in. Thanks again to unrelated shooters who dropped in to give us a plug before doing their thing.

>>421778

pretty fucking cool, anon. Good detective work.

and better still for not flagging our board for yet another piece of shit with too much time on their hands

>>421773

Earlier this year, we didn't have most of our catalog scraped clean of images. I'm not demanding that /tg/ shifts into low effort shitposting for the sake of speed, but if anyone wants to fix things and refresh the catalog, then we'd need an active effort to make new threads and post enough to naturally cycle out the old with functional replacements, and hopefully encourage more of that healthy quality instead of hemorrhaging users every time things break.

>>421778

I'll put this information in the next meta-thread and we can use the meta or make another thread for a mass reupload spot for anyone who has the images missing from salvageable threads.

>>421336

The fact that you bumped this after 15 minutes tells me that you aren't from here, and your whole post and system are worthless.

>>421346

Thanks. Ive been here since before gamergate. I just dont care to follow customs

>>421362

Nobody cares about how long you've been here.

>>421363

I know but you stated an assertion and im bored so i made a respond psot like im doing now

It has potential. I prefer the idea of there being little rhyme or reason for the matchups. I have a few questions, though.

>How do you get new cards without drawing? Do you start with a full deck? How big is a deck?

>What do the different card types actually ""do"" in terms of affecting the game state?

>How does a player lose morale, life, or cards?

Please help me understand the intricacies of the game, anon. Your idea doesn't stand on its own without substance.

>>420868

not impossible, maybe something with a strong draw/redraw mechanic to make the decks perform consistently and land's replaced with promos. Lay promos to play moves later, organize moves into types (Agi, power, giant, technican and heel). Have lots of the promos be named (so you can play a named deck) but lots also generic/to type. set.

Dammit now i want to write it

>>421160

You sound like a mutt who got triggered.

It seems the thread has come to an end. I hope the fuck boy gets back in contact. I want him to talk more about respekting whamen.

>>348794

>What's your favorite game out of this franchise, /tg/?

Republic Commando.

What I do hate is that you are only limited to the 3 variants of your blaster and cannot pick up a DC-15A or DC-15S blaster even though you can pick a trando shottie and some heavy repeating cannon thing. I hate it that you cannot pick up and use the lightsaber in one of the levels where the trandos highacked an acclamator. And there are no large B1 droid formations that should be standard. Kinda understandable as to the tech level at that time. Bacta stations scattered all around the map is bullshit. Droids do not use bacta. The voice acting is sucked. They should have used Morrison's voice and only Morrison. Giving different voices killed the concept of clones being clones in the first place and ruined the immersion.

They did nail the SBD though, it is mighty tough and slow while in combat as it should be. The boss droid fights are also noice as well.

>>414675

Well, in the time since I made that post, it's clear that I was sadly wrong. Oh well.

>>421049

>Indeed. I haven't yet met retards who would insult someone for having different food preference, though.

They aren't insulting you for your preference, they are deriding you for insulting theirs and then claiming you have superior taste because you would be willing to go to an extreme. It's more like saying

>why do people like pizza? Pizza sucks. You are wasting your money. Only numales like pizza. If you weren't a numale you would be at the very least handcrafting your own pizza, turning a one to two hour meal into a day long endeavor every single time you want pizza. If that isn't worth your time, why bother with pizza at all?

>>421082

you're right, sorry. I concede my point.

>>420888

>their respectability as a hobby company!

I thought Geedubs had already established that they were 'in the business of selling toys'? At that point just sell prepainted models, or have each faction come in a particular matte colour plastic. Hell, just put together a 'combat patrol' board game and slowly switch over to selling expansions/spinoffs to that.

>>420979

Dude, even as someone who enjoys wargames that sounds cringy as fuck. You don't think that 40kiddy is anywhere near 'military and tactics' do you?

>>421147

As I understood it was the other way around, that people asked them why they don't sell prepainted models like X-wing, and the marketing rep said that selling prepainted models would mean they are a toy company and not a model company, though I may be confused.

Dread is good game for a seasonal one shot. It's a bit of a meme, but it really works.

>>396081

Your pc wakes up on a battleship. After realising you can speak japanese fluently, you find out it's 6th April 1945 and the ship is Yamato. cue droning of 300 torpedo-bombers

>>410276

This would be amazing to do and then at the end have a illusionary Al Calavicci comes out and you play the quantum leap themesong.

One-shot sniper mission.

Heh.

>>420483

This reminds me when I successfully recruited the most freverant minion of my diety (and me by proxy).

Playing a priest, lawful still deciding on the direction to take it when low and behold bandits are there. We butcher a few and the remaining two beg for their lives and being lawful and needing bodies for my church I do the honourable thing and tell them it's time to convert from their wicked ways or perish beneath my cudgel. One guy buys it, who hog, sense motive shows that he has converted 100% the other guy was iffy but really didnt want to die.

Deciding to keep one of them as a pet/minion/gopher I do the wicked deed and condeem the other one lawfully to death for banditry about a dozen times over, but I get their names mixed up and kill the devout one and keep the iffy one.

Gm gloats for a second before I tell my newfound iffy companion that the lord has saved his companion but sent me to guide him to the right path (as I was liberally splattered with his friends brains).

Good minion, bit of a nervous tick. He went on many adventures and eventually died in the mirror realm (with full rites performed by me).

Companions and NPCs are all disposable tools. Treat them as such.

>>417828

>Is the dreaded DMPC ever justifiable?

Always.

Always justifiable.

It depends on how you can remain detached from it, however.

A good DMPC can help with plothooks, can push the adventure forward, can let you explore other things about the campaign that the players didn't explore.

Hell, a DMPC doesn't necessarily need to be one that constantly fights, provide supports with spells or any of that shit, it could even be a squire that tend to the player's gear and it could start a nice mini-quest about finding an high quality armor polish from the exotic lands of fate, which would ensure the player's armor is always in best condition.

Don't be afraid to throw DMPCs to the players, in a way every single NPC in the game is a DMPC.

My suggestion is to subtly steer the plot the way you want, while the players still remain at the helm.

>>420560

You're just talking about NPCs.

>>419060

I want to fuck that mouse.

>>420444

That only means more stimulation.

>>416654

Is airbending in the atmosphere op?

>>416683

>>416654

>>409306

This.

Water is so much denser than air. Imagine underwater weather, any ambient (wind?) speed of more than a few inches for each second would make movement by anything without fins impossible without being pushed in the direction of the water.

>>416684

So you're saying Earthbending is OP

>>398234

Setting things on fire is not an option, so yes, a lot of uses for plants, coral and stone.

If you want ready examples, find Sea of Falling Stars in TSR trove.

>>416685

Yeah actually it is. Nobody uses it properly because nobody thinks the "bury somebody in sand"t time on the beach can be a viable lethal weapon when you can just move dirt around like it's nothing, that you can shove earth down your throat and fill your entire throat and lungs with it, you can open fissures and sink holes with the sixth sense to know when it's feasible, create blades so sharp they go through any modern protection but are so brittle they leave crippling splinters that retains the sharpness as they shred your flesh, stub people's toes every other step in total darkness cause you're a dick head. The potential of earth bending and similar powers is huge for killing people when you aren't just cutting the middle man out and simple creating poisons and toxins aligned to your element to kill everyone.
