>Tables of the 50 largest settlements in any given region. Tables of typical/most common family and given names. Tables of typical flora and fauna in a given region. Tables of local festivals and holidays. Tables of local laws and the fines and punishments associated with various crimes. Tables of random encounters. All the tables.
Tables aren't crunch.

Yeah, they should have included a ritual or some other magical component to it to explain away such inconsistencies. Starfinder does it a bit better by having Mnemonic Editor alter your brain to do it.

>>92622167
the alternative is like people throwing out their character sheets to make an almost identical character with 1 minor difference.

>>92622853
I think he is probably talking about major changes to characters not just changing some minor feature. Like sure changing fighting style via changing your feats makes sense but learning and forgetting how to craft over a few weeks is just retarded without some form of ritual or journey to do it.

>>92623237
Eh makes more sense to me than being at the peak of all your skills all the time without reinforcement.
You should be able to have your character camp out in a toolshed for a month in order to produce a mcguffin, but then they neglect some other part of their capability.

......... I'm becoming more and more tempted to make my own ttrpg. I mean, I'm sure a big reason these succeed are due to activists and perverts... but man, after looking at a couple of pages, that level of quality for 37k is absolutely nuts to me. I bet it cost them a fraction of that to actually make this.

It's not "Soulsborne" as the other anon pointed out.
Why do they have large bulbus noses. What are they overweight and chubby? Why are they intentionally designed to be unattractive and unappealing. There supposed to find each other attractive right? Being a lesbian means you're attracted to women.
Why is their art always like this?

Coyote and Crow made slightly over a million and it's also crap. Apparently all you have to do is convince people that they're morally obligated to support your game and then shill the fuck out of it.

Her family forced her to dress and act like a man and she was able to marry a woman because of it. When she made a connection with another man she was reminded about being a woman. If anything she was forced to be a troon and is just used to it now.

Strong Cleave magic is nice and all but it isn't appealing to me personally be it as an investigator, a mage exploring it's potential, or even as a clan given it's NPCs. It isn't very helpful for solving cases with any degree of subtlety. Even leaning into applying different laws and properties to them to detect something by having an expanding barrier push it away, the spontaneously flying anomaly disguised as your neighbor is going to be just as visible to the normies as it is to you. Sure if you go into Rogue Hunting, SAT, or Magic Anomalies you can sword good or set up a forward base but most every other clan has combat potential and utility besides.

From the angle of magic the only development potential I see for it is focusing on applying laws and properties using multiple overlapping internal barriers. Since by definition you can't leave the casting area of the barrier the immobility problem becomes a non-issue. Since we know you can prevent aging and death as one example there could be under-utilized options here. For example barriers to push away fatigue and strain from projection magic making it a viable long term use magic while using a series of barriers to direct it like a projectile to an opponent so that they grow more tired the longer the fight goes on instead of you. If it's feasible then with careful thought you could potentially get a much wider range of effects than just block good.

As for in-clan companions you have sad girl auctor, justice fag kin-slayer archmage, archmage's #1 fan with little to no chill, yuri ntr bait glowie who is definitely not geh just trust me bro, and Germany's professional groomer that probably hangs out with Grace to trade tips on how best to raise their latest batch. As much as I'd like to personally generate a nation's population of Aryan mongrels with Hagia, I probably wouldn't be able to put up with my own clan's 'tism for longer than 10 minutes before it goes to drawing swords.

I think that central ocean would actually be much warmer than the rest of the world since the water largely remains there. Being close to the equator, it will just warm up and couldn't travel that far up north to cool down, cycling back into the central sea. The far western side of the western continents are probably going to be much cooler than expected, and I'd imagine its northwestern side to be one of the colder parts of the world. Remember that, on our planet at least, water at the equator is warm because of constant exposure to the sun and it will be warmest on its most western side as it takes time to travel on the equator, continuously warming up. It only begins to cool when it travels up north away from the sun.

So this isn't 100% complete, and it probably sucks, but how does this look? Assuming that the planet's equator is a little further south, does everything look okay for the most part? Also, does it make sense for the circled area to be a desert? Or too many lakes?

>>92623048

No one argued that. The card we're talking about is a different one.

>>92623260
Nah I'm with the judge on this one. It's awkward because there's a card with that explicit name. If the original Borborygmos had some sort of title after his name then sure I'd side with intention, but alas he named a card explicitly.

Yeah we're talking about a better Necropotence because it doesn't make you skip your draw step.

So….do all the different factions of Chaos God-worshippers all consider their side the inevitable winner / greatest? Like how the Nurgle-followers are super fatalistic about everything because obviously of course everything will end up with Nurgle. Do the other Chaos factions look at it the same way, just with a different emotional impetus?

>>92623049
No to both, but for different reasons.
Considering them the eventual winner implies they know, or believe, the gods are in active competition, which some might not. As for considering their god the best, I imagine most do, but not all.

>>92622845
Alternatively they'll be huge with multiple rats.

>no faction battle tactics

And the fluff just keeps on getting cut.

Ironically, the old way of releasing content for games was the best way from an economic and commercial standpoint.
Way back when, the overwhelming majority of supplements were soft bound adventures with three hole punched sides, a few pages long, and could be run with zero prep. Monsters came in loose leaf three hole punched stacks that you tossed into your own ever growing binder of baddies, the same with spells, trinkets, etc.
The result was a steady supply of content across the board, cheap to make, cheap to buy, and easy to swing by a shop to pick up the new stuff that dropped that month.

>>92622765
Also cheap magazines with mini modules and stat blocks that were often written by people who actually worked on the game, or at least were involved with other games. That can sort of be replicated by drive-thru rpg, but there's a deluge of it with negative editorial oversight, so it's not as useful.

Only problem I have is that the shilling is super hardcore. Everyone's trying to sell you shit. Same reason why Shadowdark vibes were off.

>>92621717
Fellow gun combat tinkerer here, and I think this is a pretty good idea; but that you should probably not make it a hard 50%. Use it as a guideline instead. For example at close range maybe you always ablate, but at long range you don't. GM fiat.

Ideally you want combat to have as few conditional values as possible, so you never forget any of them. You could easily say that weapons with Xd6 always ablate, while weapons with Yd6 don't. Plate rating abstracted to a level that doesn't require you to continuously monitor numbers, instead just relying on broad archetypes.

speaking of Trauma Team, do they all follow the same outfit design? I could had sworn they are technically a franchise of sorts so people could meet factions with different but similar-in-the-same-vein outfits in some 2020 book. I could be misremembering, but I remembered reading something about them used to be yellow.

>>92622576
Idk, they’re kinda funny in a creepy sorta way. I’d probably hang out with them out of sheer (dangerous) curiosity (killed the cat).

>>92622576
They're plenty creepy with their weird (translator-muddled) language, but I think the game didn't portray the true horror enough. I mean, Star Control has creepy sentient fungi planet-killing "terra"formers, spider monsters who worship literal gods of evil, horrifying blob monsters whose idea of good fun is trolling others, creepy Greys who have meddled with the humankind before, speak in riddles, and know a lot more than they actually say, not to mention two species whose philosophies are either "fight for us or be shut in on your planet" or "die".

>>92622884
>creepy Greys who have meddled with the humankind before
It’s for our own benefit

>>92622884
The Orz aren’t supposed to be obviously evil. We still can’t be sure. It’s subtle and ambiguous horror.

Economically socialist, but with right-wing views on family, culture, and the ethnic makeup of society.

>>92596275
I think some form of distributism is the answer personally. The core problem with late stage capitalism is that company ownership is divorced from the health of the company itself.

But now it is. Now new hobbyists are recruited into a context where The Lore is A Thing, they're taught that Canon Matters, and so most new hobbyists will conform to that culture. Further these changes are being made as part of a wider context in which political actors are intentionally trying to shift the Overton Window of the hobby space so that the old
>Hey man it's fluff, ignore it if you don't like it or make up your own
mentality is replaced instead with a baseline of
>Erm, ACKSHOLEE I think you'll find that [faggy change] is in fact Lore Accurate and the only possible reason anyone could have to reject that is if you're a hatemongering istaphobic bigot!

If you can't see how that harms the hobby, I don't know what to tell you. Like seriously even a decade ago people were taking literal actual Nazi-themed Krieg to tournaments. Was it cringe? Sure. But despite getting a broadly negative reaction and a lot of proto-poofters screeching it should be barred *that wasn't the consensus view*. Now you can't even deride shittily-painted Pride Marines outside of this shithole without being branded as Senor Mengele Trump-Hitler esq. and run out of town.
