Gibus, I just want you to know you ruined this thread. In fact, your reaction to others using your name to the point that you started tripcoding was the model I used for Wayne's reaction when others did the same.

You helped contribute to what became Wayne.

Since it has an AI, destroy it for being techno-heresy.

>>54733428
Would AdMech care if it has A.I? Surely they would try to reverse engineer it? O rtry to improve upon it in some way?

Hell might go as far as to try to induct it into the ranks of Tech Priests I could see that happening on the down low.

It'll get old eventually, but enjoy it while it lasts

That's probably the easiest kind of player to accommodate. If they look or seem bored, throw a fight at them. A bandit raid, a dragon attack, a bar fight, whatever.
I don't see why you'd want to cater to this type of player, because it will turn your game into nothing but a slog of combat scenarios with some light flavor text in between as you try not to go more than four sentences without losing the murderhobo's attention.

>>54732911
Given what you've told us about the setting, a cult dedicated to a god of death makes sense. Offering the souls of the slain to their dark master, seeking visions of the future in the bloodstains, etc.

>>54732951
well my concern is that I dont necessarily want the players to have to convert to join the assassin's guild. maybe i should have multiple rival guilds?

Why not go for a more gang like aesthetic if you want rival theives guilds? It doesn't have to be very obvious looking guild members they could just look like gruff commoners with a different color of paint.

> 'A' Greek/Roman god of dinosaurs
The entire pantheon, yes.

>>54732524
The biggest thing I think would be altered is that mythological monsters would be a lot more fantastical, and any animals used as symbols of strength or something else particular might be reflected by a dinosaur instead.

Other than that, the presence of large, dangerous wildlife would make things more difficult, but it also depends a lot on climate and how far ranging they are. The way to hunt a dinosaur would probably involve large spears designed to be braced against the ground and stopping the thing from pushing its way down it. Essentially, you need pretty solid bronze tridents.

Compared to say, an Elephant, it isn't that huge of a step up for many dinosaurs. You'd probably see more development towards siege weapons, poisons, and other methods to take them out safely from a distance.

I haven't played Standard since Origins came out. Is it good? I've heard it's been a total garbage fire recently.

>>54733383
It was a garbage fire.
The new set shook up the dumpster and ignited a blaze of RDW decks.
But the jury is still out on how the meta will settle.

>>54733383
RDW is stomping standard right now.
A friend and I won several FNMs before the pro tour with Monored Desert. Even if Wizards have the stupid idea of banning one of the pieces, the prizes were worth the cost of the deck (some cards has now skyrocketed).

Any idea why this would fail horribly or why it might actually work?

I've been working on 2 different wargame rulesets.

First is a skirmish game set in an apocalyptic earth after demons invade. Core mechanics are action point based alternating activation and opposed dice rolls which inflict multiple hits depending on the difference of the rolls. The forces are power armored Templars, demons, cultists and warlords taking advantage of the chaos, and radicals using the demons power against them

Second one is a platoon fantasy game set in an ancient/classical era themed setting. The focus is small groups of 4-8 models that can combine attacks to take on bigger targets. Resolution is an opposed roll dice pool mechanic.
