God bless America.

Spooky.

So what kind of thing could justify a message like this happening?
I guess evil alien parasites would be the only justification for such measure

I'm interested in /tg/'s thoughts on the relationship between attributes, physical limits, and rolling. I'll use the horizontal jump as an example.

Many games state that a character can jump a given distance determined by the relevant attribute. Sometimes you can roll dice to increase the distance you jump.

An alternative approach would be to give a gap the character is trying to jump a set DC, with no reference to specific distances.

Although the second approach seems more elegant due to reduced math it's also going to result in fewer automatic successes, characters may be required to roll on actions that wouldn't require a roll under system 1.

I'm sure there are alternative approaches I'm not considering at the moment.

Are there any problems with having a card game where everything is instant(in the MtG sense), including the combat actions of creatures?

It should make the game more interactive, right?

Distance per successes.

Basically a Mind-archive.
Souls are recycled after death, full of energy and vigor from having lived. However minds are not, and if they don't pass into the afterlife waste away into nothingness.

So the God Enn carries each soul to the afterlife upon its death, at which point the mind shapes a part of that realm for itself dependant upon its self-image. Then Enn carries the soul off to rejoin the world-soul.

So really, the afterlife is what you make of it, deep down.
If you know you're a fucking monster and you think you deserve to be tormented until you've repented, that's what you'll get.

Essentially, minds separated from their souls are a person, stuck in time, unable to really change themselves, and contented.

The INTERESTING stuff is what happens when you divorce a mind from a soul before death.

Warlocks are either debtors, or sellouts. They bargain their soul away to a celestial power for claim either upon death, or immediately. The former merely gain a kind of power, they their minds are devoured by the god, and their souls entirely incorporated into it upon death. The second have their soul devoured immediately, replaced by a roiling ball of celestial energy.

The undead are either artificial minds without souls, who are tortured beings (zombies, skeletons). Or souls and minds attached to dead bodies (Liches and Vampires)... Esh doesn't come to collect those minds, as they've already died, so upon their final death, the soul flees its tortured existence in agony, and the mind is left to rot and die.

>>51196046
So the minds are the source of consciouness ?

there is none, other than some artificial things similar to afterlife constructed for thralls of very powerful wizards on occasion, but it's more like a sort of virtual immortality.

Party head is a five-centuries out of touch Elven aristocrat, party tank is a mentally handicapped Cleric, damage-dealer is a Goblin with a pseudo-railgun, then there's a Lamia sorceress-apprentice and Elven tree-hugging ranger.

God help us if they go in with the aristocrat.

>>51195329
My character manages a business ingame and the rogue is at least good at pretending to be foppish.

Those two would probably be able to survive in a high society environment. The rest of the party, though...

>>51195329
Current party?

>Female dwarven gang member that chain smokes, sounds like a scraggly-voiced man. May or may not have crabs.
>Pyromaniac female elf alchemist. Specializes in bombs, poisons, and setting things on fire. Possibly a slut.
>Huge buff guy, all brawn and no brains, raised in the wild by lumberjack automotons. His only drive in life is punching bears, and learning to punch bears in new and interesting ways. Also cursed to shapeshift into a bear when mad after punching a Druid when he turned into a bear.

Yeah no, not at all.

How will Creed escape Trazyn's tesseract? Ideas pls.

He wont, he's being written out of the game.

And before anyone says anything, yes, i know.

>3.5

Its what my group is using for right now. If there's a method for this kinda thing in shadowrun, though, i'd take that too.

So are they planning to do the new year = new ruleset every year? Seems kinda annoying.

Also, does anyone think this game will eventually need something like X wing modification or title cards to make underplayed stuff be more playable and to prevent model bloat from happening?

>>51195823
I think the plan is to do a rules rebalance every year but not a major rules change. They recently hired DC from Warmahordes to work on their rules and it has a lot of similarities with the clarity.

So every year should be a small rebalance with the characters based on feedback

I just picked up the Brewer's Guild starter the other day along with Spigot, Stave and Scum to fill out a full team. Got them assembled and planning on starting on painting tomorrow. Really loving the aesthetic of this game. What all teams do you guys play? I'm planning on picking up everything eventually, but I think my next buys are going to be Harry the Hat and the Fisherman's Guild starter

>3 years and theyre still at it.
These people dont seem to understand the phrase fuck off do they?
[sighs]
Whelp better get the fleets ready to form a line and let those Glorbulans know they cant cross it.

>>51193799
Obviously we must enact sanctions against the Glorbulans immediately, but I'm afraid we can't stop there. Our laxity has caused grievous harm to the Zorblaxians, and we owe them reparations. We must provide them reparations; preferably in the form of ammunition and weapons technology.

>>51193799

Excuse me, but were we not at war with the Zorblaxian Empire but a standard decade ago, in which they tried similar slimy diplomatic tactics to degrade our standing and nearly got us into a two front war? We cannot support our bitter rivals over what was no doubt another diplomatic baiting attempt!

Congratulations on laughing at the crippled kid when he tried to hobble down the track, I guess.

>got defeated at the nick of time and when the Imperium was on its last legs.
>by an Imperium at the height of its power with no possible rivals.

Have those giant guns so many Warbosses have stashed on their backs ever been more than cosmetic

If they all have it wouldn't they all black out at the same time? Just forget about it until the next full moon and have them all wake up in the same naked pile

Full moons now happen only during overcast nights of non-stop rain.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I have to vent about the Storyteller for my Werewolf game. How do we get across that we want grounded stories about establishing territory for our pack and dealing with the alienation that comes with our characters' condition? He just keeps dropping leads about tombs full of gold for some reason.
