Literally who?

Whoever this is, I assume it's because people realized how much of a raging autism he apparently is.

so you only missed one video?

Didn't you hear? He literally went insane.

I almost never put a boss for the sake of a boss. The only times I ever do it is if my players seem to really want one and I don't really have time to set something up proper, in a campaign where battles against singular, overpowering monsters is the norm, or in a dungeon where it has been well established that the entire reason they are going to this dungeon is to kill this powerful monster. Usually, major villains really aren't that much stronger than my players, they just have considerably more assets at their disposal, and an (unstated) knowledge of the script. Actually getting them into a fight is the hard part. Once that fight has started, they usually die quickly.

I do sometimes work a "boss" monster into something, but usually not on the main, most likely path. It's usually somewhere where I predict someone might try something really dumb. Since my games usually don't give out xp based on monster-killing, there is really no incentive to go out of your way to fight one and waste resources.

>>53052153
Good bosses are not at the end, but arrive when it makes sense and control the scene.

>>53052153
I'd say if you're gonna make one, make it interesting. Have the room filled with traps, have the boss change targets, summon minions. If it's a really big creature, make the players climb it etc.
Just don't make it a nondescript, white space where martials stand in front of the boss and whack it and casters blast it from behind.

Flower/sun square in the middle is OP as fuark.

I had this game on some freeware in 1996. it was very fun. sort of an ancestor of modern backgammon. are there alternate rules sets? I always had a hunch this game was like mancala and had different ways of playing.

>>53051810
unbalanced/10, literally unplayable

Yugioh is Shit.
Magic is Shit.
Card Games are Shit.
Games are Shit.
Life is Shit.
That's the impression you're going to get from this thread.

Magic is actually less complicated than Yugioh, but more complex. The rules are better written, so there's less pointless bullshit and more meaningful interactions.

>>53049680
Magic has more interaction than Hearthstone since combat is dictated by the defender and you can act during your opponents turn. It also has very little RNG compared to Hearhstone. Yugioh is much more complicated than either, but not in a good way. Many Yugioh cards have complicated and long rules text printed directly on the card and there is no attempt to standardize card behavior and interactions like Magic does. However you can still have fun with Yugioh if you can tolerate its bullshit.

Sheev really was going to die without Anakin's intervention.

>>53048380
More original than the painfully standard human-dwarf-elf trio. Probably more interesting too if handled correctly, as this could lead to a lot more diverse cultures and temperaments than [insert your current culture here]-Scottish-Arrogant.

This thread will focus on world building and creating concepts for things based on terrain, climate, and how the Anonimi, being as small as they are, deal with it. Anything from homes, transportation and even clothing/equipment.

So, I'm thinking of mountainous terrain and think Aut/o/mans would be really great here as they can make machines and stuff from the minerals mined and scrap melted inside mountain strong holds.

Clan intelli/g/ent would probably fit in the mountains as well. Maybe they can all be mountain clans tinkering away, the /m/echanist too

5e:
Aboleths.
They need to be killed in the elemental plane of water to actually die.
Illithids could "easily" beat the beholders, who wouldn't even work together.

I get the idea illithids have the widest influence, so probably them.

>>53047771
3.PF:
Aboleths.
They have all the memories of all their ancestors, and anyone they mind control, meaning they should all be stupidly powerful wizards, which are quite broken here. Additionally, their Dominate Person SLAs along with their illusions make them superb at subverting entire nations to their cause in a way the other two don't really do.
