>>92698676Energy being a side deck is already an improvement honestly. The additional mechanic of being able to use your bench at the same time as your center opens things up strategy wise too.
>>92698885That sounds very much not like Pokemon.
>>92697050Stop deflecting, the fact that Bandai went with cheating memory now is a disgraceDigimon used to be fun
>>92696135Magic is slipping, but Yugioh is slipping faster. We're going to see Pokemon as the undisputed king, with One Piece, Lorcana, Star Wars, and Magic fighting it out for the remainder of the top 5 in the US until one or more falls off. And in Japan, it'll be Yugioh, Duelma, One Piece, and Weiss doing the same.Rather than Japanese dominance, the countries are just moving further apart.
>>92699091I mean it's bandai. you know what you're getting with them. their games only ever run a few years, and if your job is just to milk as much money out before the game implodes then this kind of design only makes sense.

>>92699117I am not here to educate people. I am here to give them ideas to simulate their world in a more historically authentic way.
>>92699142The historically authetnic way being something you misundertood about a pop-his youtube videoSee: le town guards didn't exist meme
>>92699142>I am not here to educate people.Correct. Because educating someone would require some actual knowledge about the thing you are talking about. All your doing is parroting some shallow talkingpoints on the level of pic related while not even specifying the period or country you are talking about. You sound like a child that just learned a new word or a teenager who thinks he's deep for whatever the fuck reason.
>>92699161The town guard meme of fully-kitted out anonymous soldiers being employees of the town and being paid to patrol or stand watch the entire day to catch criminals is historically inaccurate as fuck and even worse than that it‘s really boring.If you actually know more about this topic and like how Ancient Romans had a patron, who was in a kinda of mafia-like relationship with them, so basically they had their own gangs, who would protect their own turf or merchant guards or the bailiff being able to sort of „draft“ men in the town as needed to catch criminals or all of the other ideas in this thread. If you already know about that, then I am happy for you. We are on the same side.>>92699167Do you expect me to actually give you university-level lectures about history? Of course I am not going to put such an amount of effort into my posts. And no one should expect this in a 4chan thread. The very topic itself necessitates that you paint with very broad strokes. Because we are not discussing a specific era in history in a a certain cultural region. We are doing the reverse. We are talking about a vaguely medieval-inspired fantasy world with and criticizing it for it‘s shallow portrayal of that world, while giving better ideas from many different places and times in history.That‘s all I am going to say to this kind of criticism.
>>92699197>Do you expect me to actually give you university-level lectures about history?No. That would be far beyond your abilities. You also ridiculously overestimate the quality of most such "university-level lectures".This just goes to show that you've never seen a university from the inside.

>Dwarven society is essentially quasi-communist>Living in mines encourages communal quartering, everyone sleeps in the same big hall>Lack of resources means that everything has to be rationed>Children are brought up and educated in the mine creche >"Our mine > our society > our selves">Organise themselves based on which area of the mine they work so you have three basic groups, Miners, Administrators and Security.

Disclaimer and I can't believe i have to say this but this is Current Year /tg/ this is in no way and endorsement of communism, I'm just trying to think up ways to make my fantasy races different
>>92699144What the fuck did you expect when immediately, and I mean immediately mentioning communism in the first post? Clearly just (You)s and nothing else, so why are you bitching about getting them?
>>92699116>clans>autistic flashing of wealth>arbitrarily hard to acquire social status>kings and queens and high nobility>Gigantic fortresses of unparalleled craft in order to achieve glory>etcI mean dwarves as they exist in the vast majority of things is basically antithetical to your situation.

>>92699159It's a quick description to put people in the picture as fast as possible. Look, maybe we can try and salvage this. There's aspects of communism you clearly dislike, how do you think they would apply to this society and how would they play out?To me communism is a stifling and claustrophobic system, so it can work as a metaphor for the mines themselves.
>>92699116>but you can never leave>PCs are most likely to come from groups that leaveSomething doesn't add up here
>>92699116>It can't be an anarchy and you can't trust people to know which is the best way to do things so society is very highly regimentedWouldn't magic solve that issue?Like have a core structure in society be the guild of divination.
>>92697331magic isn't different from any other power source
>>92697528Some systems have magic or sorcery as a separate power, in particular FASERIP and a couple others. Basically you spend a turn to "cast a spell" which temporarily gives you whatever power you want, then you use the power during the next turn. >>92697521I used to be in denial about this but all you need is to look at the likes of Flash to see all the ways in which it can be broken. Higher end speedsters can time travel and move between dimensions and travel the multiverse and that IS broken.
>>92697610>Higher end speedsters can time travel and move between dimensions and travel the multiverse and that IS broken.Only if you read shit by retarded writers.
>>92697770Why do writers wank death stroke? Is it because he fucks kids and writers like self inserting as him so they can live out their dreams?
>>92697610of course, we're talking about games, so whether it's retarded in authored fiction irrelevant.
Thread title.This is a Lancer campaign, No Room For a Wildflower. Our group is basically in space Vietnam, fighting against guerillas who cosplay as aliens. We've finally turned the tide and got the upper hand on the enemy, but people are arguing on whether to accept a surrender or to finish them off. In true mecha-cliche style, the lead enemy machine comes forward and the enemy ace (a girl) reveals herself and says:>"If you still want revenge, if you still hate and fear us, you can kill me. Just spare the others."It's a big martyr moment and the other players are all for it, but one PC goes:>"I march my (flamethrower-wielding) mech forward and burn her alive." So the group started arguing that it's not in the spirit of reconciliation of this story, but the PC refuses to do anything else and one of the other guys sided with him. How do I go like, "This isn't the mood the campaign is going for, you can't think like that" is what I'm saying, I guess. It feels like everything is going off the rails because half the group consistently wants to kill the enemy and treat them like Viet Cong
>>92698821Also if its like a 2v2 with the GM leaning towards one side they you need to come to a group consensus.If its a 3v2 then you need to have a table wide discussion about it and keep those two on a short leash.If its a 4v2 then you give the offending player a personal talking to and a warning, optionally walking back the action if the majority want you to, and then if he or his buddy steps out of line to the same extent again remove them and continue on with the 3 other players who you clearly gel with better. They will be better off with a different group and your group will be happier.The key is to listen to the players since as the GM you have a tone of power over the game itself mechanically. If push comes to shove and your not having fun with those guys take a good look at how many more sessions the campaign is going to take, truncate it down if your not having fun and just don't invite those players back next time.
>>92698416ThisThe "I am a total dickwad but feel kinda bad about it now that I'm about to die, pretty please don't kill me" swing that fucking plagues media these days needs to die.
>>92698312If you want to railroad your players into playing ball with your OC, cool, I just know from the snippets I've picked up, it absolutely makes sense to fucking glass this asshole and be the voice of reason who doesn't feel like listening to a mass murderer and war criminal who is, by all common sense, trying to weasel their way through to tomorrow. Friends don't let friends get into the car with the wanted kidnapper, no matter how yummy the candy looks, and whatnot.If you or the other players are more upset that a villain who just killed a few hundred people died than you are in listening to another player who did something that absolutely makes sense, that sounds like a table dynamic problem. If your tone is such that a mass murdering war criminal is given more respect than hundreds of bystanders, or a player, to the point you're considering throwing a fiat tantrum over it, then yeah, you need to do a better job establishing fucking tone and minding table dynamic, otherwise your games are going to keep breaking like this.Lesson for the future: Do not invite your players to take an action if you will turn around and complain about it immediately if they do it. They will do it. Every time. And, colloroy lesson. NEVER threaten players with movie cliches on why the villain shouldn't die, unless you want the players to kill them immediately.
>>92698312>How do i stop other PCs from ruining the momentWrite a book.
>>92698325Played it a bit and it seemed like 4th ed dnd with the build variety filed off. There were a lot of mechs but each one basically had a single 'build' that was optimal. Some mechs had reasonable combos like 4e characters (The star player in our group was a mech that performed better while at high heat, meaning the player had to work to keep the temperature high) but not all of them did and so they were kind of dull as a result. The pilot combat was also nonexistent, I had to import equipment and rules from other systems to make up for that gap. Should have gone full titanfall I'd they wanted to be that kind of thing and had the pilots able to jet around and mount mechs.
>go to wizard tower>he dosent have stairs for you to get up>you need to get teleported up but can't>be a smug fighter and decide to rope climb up>the wizard sees you climbing up from his window>he fucking wind kicks you in the balls throwing you off the rope to your deathwhat now fightan xhes chuds?
>>92699124I merely punch the tower until it's nothing but rubble.I'll see you at the bottom with the rest of the debris wizcuck
>>92699124Provoke a tribe of hill giants into attacking you. Then lead them on a marry chase to the dick wizards tower so the can tear it down. If that does not work and the hill giants all get blasted with fire balls and lighting bolts then you try for Stone giants tunneling in the underdark. You have the stone giants sap and undermine the tower so it falls into the underdark and then have the stone giants bash the bastard wizards tower to pebbles. If that does not work somehow then you just keep going up the ranks of giant kind until you win. First you go after the frost giants of the far north and drag them and there ice dragon mounts to the tower to freeze the stupid mage to death in his own home. Or at the least force him to burn his own spell books for warmth. Then you get the fire giants from there burning hell like realms and have them wage there hell fire war on the wizard with there monstrous war engines to burn him out of this world. then you get the cloud giants to attack him and see if there cloud castles and other magics can counter the wiz master in his piss tower. Your last chance at this point with the giants is to hope you have gotten so many giants killed at this point that the storm giants get pissed off that so many of there kin have been killed that they get up off there lazy assess and smite the evil warlock themselves. If that does not work then i do not know? Maybe try the dragons next see if they work out better?

>>92696965>>Sure enough, that store's ebay page selling that miniature for $25The shyster who owns my LGS would always do this shit. Any kind of demo/promo supplies or tournament prize pack just got priced and put on the shelves.
>>92697017I currently work at a game store that my friend owns, just to have something to do in the evenings.We're not super huge, but we have a good enough crowd and do fine- but we get a lot of prize/promo goods that we actually can't use for events......so my friend, the owner, his policy is basically:>"If it's for [INSERT GAME], when those guys come in on their game night- just start handing those things out to everyone. Leave the rest in a basket on the counter."I seriously handed out the Warhammer promo minis to people who just had an interest in the game but hadn't bought into it yet- "Here's a model you can practice painting on, and get an idea of what they're like".

>>92699058I mean, its a basic concept: a mortal hero that would have qualified for any Exaltation from an unused destiny becomes a new dude with a Getimian Exaltation. I don't know where the confusion stems from other than a refusal to actually read the relevant material on how the Loom works in 3e Sidereals.
>>92699083Getimians never existed in the first place, nothing was stolen from them.
>>92698997>The bit regarding Nirvishesha does not imply in any way that it affects anything within Creation.It does though. Nirvisesha and many other Shinma define exactly how Creation work - because they define how the concepts work -, and it's only in the Wyld that they're mutable (because there's more than one Shinma and they're not equally powerful across the universe). That's why Nirupadhika can allow people to be in a location before arriving, because it's mutable.>Sure but not Creation.In 1e, the only thing beyond the Wyld is Creation. Yu-Shan, Underworld, Heaven, Autochthonia are considered 'Creation' within that book. Oramus' 'Beyond' was not defined in the same way 2e did it too, so it's not talking about that location either.>barring the application of Essence and sorcery.This is what Shinma are, patterns of Essence.>The idea of things being different from one another is part of Nirvishesha. The fact Creation has this, for example, means that Nirvishesha is part of Creation. >The shinma Nirakara defines shapes. He is the gateway between world and Wyld — between the place of defined form and the place without. To take on shape, or to change one’s shape with Wyld energy, is to “pass through Nirakara.” For creatures of Creation, this means acquiring Wyld mutations. For raksha, it means acquiring both shape and form.This once more furthers the idea the book presents that the Shinma are indeed part of Creation, because they're part of everywhere - it's just a matter of how strong their presence is, and it's only in the Wyld where we see the six main Shinma get stated to have limitations that make certain events transpire to reflect themselves rather than reflect what they define.
>>92698997>sure but not Creationlil bro thinks that it's referring to World of Darkness. get real.
>>92699089I think I'd be a little mad if I was going to have what seems like a pretty cool and fulfilling life until the most corrupt bureaucracy ever decided that it'd be better off if none of the cool shit I did ever happened (via making it so I was never born) so they could do more corrupt shit instead.>>92699126Again, you seem to be misinterpreting things because you want to arrive at the conclusion that the shinma are provably the laws of Creation. You have not provided anything that definitively states such. Creation having identity does not necessarily correlate to its foundation of identity stemming from Nirvishesha; its like saying chickens are humans because we both have two legs. Likewise, you appear to be interpreting the sidebar on what entails being Creation-born for the mechanical purposes of charms that use that keyword very liberally; the Underworld, Autochthonia, and Malfeas are always described as different planes of existence. They are separate from the Wyld and stem from the same source (the Primordials), but Creation obviously differs radically from Malfeas and likewise the Underworld is not close to Malfeas. Nirakara is a gate into Creation, but where does this imply that Nirakara is also of Creation? The space outside my house is not part of my house simply because there is a door connecting the two.
