Easier to balance a game than remove a basic human emotion.

It's not balance that's the important bit, whats important is that every player must feel that they're contributing an equal amount to the game, instead of it being the story of Lord Powerton and the four guys who hang around him.

In theory, if the GM is good enough and the players are good enough there can be enough situations to go around where everyone can be useful even if they suck at combat, such as social situations, detective work, sneaking around and bashing skulls.

In practice, a very large portion of the time in a game is spent during combat and players who can't contribute to the combat get left out.

Thus, balance is not that important in theory, but in practice its extremely important to everyone's enjoyment.

Most of the complaints about balance seem to be less about being able to contribute at all, and more about simply dealing less damage or being less pivotal to a fight.

It's the nature of competitiveness.

Yeah man, same here. I still made these after trying for a long time though.

Try another hobby. For instance I write music instead of miniature painting since I'm not very good at it.

These aren't gonna win Golden Darmon but they are absolutely 100% tabletop standard and I would rather play against an army looking like this than an unpainted or only just primed army any day of the fucking week.

OP - pick an army that you can basecoat in three colours and then dip. Tabletop standard is all anyone should ever shoot for unless they truly enjoy painting.

Shaven are shit

if you have a printer you just have to do a little math and you can print your own labels.

>>51076687
Oh yeah and the point I forgot to make was that you can just invert the colors to white text on black ground and just glue and varnish it, so it blends seamlessly into the base or print it on decal paper so you can just transfer the name.
Because I'm completely nuts I even considered setting up a document and sending if off to be brass etched, but I decided that was a little too much even for me.

Put the idea to do some etching of my own at home into my head though.

Great, cool, just stop talking and pick up this Lasrifle. Cadia just fell you know, so everyone's gotta do their part to push back Chaos

Look buddy we got our quota filled already so fuck off.

Subtlety isn't our forte. On the other hand we can probably bring it down without knowing about weakpoints.

>>51074044
Sure you could, champ. We all think your group is super cool and badass. Really.

We have AI, an powerful android, powerful adventurer with glowing swords and her magical sister.

Propably yes, maybe we could have even done it quietly and survive.

Heartwarming story of robots learning things about parenthood they were not programmed for

human rights groups go mental at the idea of effectively sending children to be brought up by bots without parents without any consent.

>>51073855
? but they were

>>51073456
Then you are doing it wrong.

Dredd was Lawful Lawful.

>>51073526
>implying he's not lawful^3

>>51073456
Dredd is clearly Lawful Proactive. Lawful Neutral is just not breaking laws, but Dredd actually goes out and arrests creeps and law breakers and enforces the rules.

It's already dead dumbass.

You can't kill what's already dead.

Well at least it's clearly a chick, finally ends that debate.

Thank god, a new thread.

From its origins in a small island nation, the strange yet exciting sport of Keijo has taken the world by storm, and despite some resistance from older and more conservative members of the Wulin the strength and passion of the women involved has earned them a place amongst the throngs of martial heroes.

While the feats accomplished upon the Land by the trained athletes of Keijo might mystify some, to Xia it is entirely unsurprising. To dedicate yourself to something, mind body and soul, is the essence of Kung fu, of cultivation and personal refinement. And even as some Keijo stars seek ancient knowledge and strength to improve their performance, some Xia take their first step onto the Land, to test their strengths in this strange new form of combat.

The rules of Keijo at their core are very simple. A group of women (Or men, in some amateur leagues trying to break into the female-centric sport) battle upon a floating platform known as the ‘Land’, forbidden the normal unarmed weapons of fists, knees, elbows and feet, instead relying upon strikes with the rear and chest. The aim is to force your opponents off the land or to knock them down, as touching the Land with any part of your body other than your feet is considered a loss.

Despite the obvious elements that appeal to a crowd, Xia who participate find the sport an interesting and unique challenge, requiring them to rethink their approach to combat, to more carefully consider positioning as well as having to create entirely unique forms of offence and defence. Keijo players who enter the Wulin, meanwhile, adapt to the rulesless nature of combats outside rather well, but only a fool underestimates their ability to bring some of their signature Keijo tricks into the battle.

Keijo Battles mostly use the same rules as combat in Legends of the Wulin with a few tweaks and adjustments to capture the unique flavour of the sport.

All Internal and External styles function as normal. While physical Weapons may not be used, it can be assumed that all competitors have taken the time to adapt their particular style to the sport if they are going to compete, thus retaining their Weapon benefits. However, the improvisation required is a weakness that may be exploited, allowing those with Keijo specific Externals, Unarmed styles or Unarmed special weapons to make use of a +5 Action Bonus against opponents not as comfortable as they are with the unusual mode of conflict, with appropriate description.

While fighters may suffer conditions and be Taken Out in the normal way, falling to the ground or leaving the ring has its own special rules. When struck by a Knockback, the remainder after defence is compared to the defenders Chi Threshold based on the type of Zone they are in at the time of the attack and the conditions they are currently suffering. If the Knockback equals or exceeds the Chi Threshold, the defender is automatically Taken Out via fall or ring out.

The Land is split into zones as normal, but each Zone is one of three types- Safe, Stable, or Edge.

Safe zones are close to the center of the Land, large areas with little risk of being forced out of the arena. Within Safe zones, a Knockback must exceed three times the defenders Chi Threshold to achieve a Ring Out.

Stable zones represent the majority of the field, with good footing but an element of danger. Within Stable Zones, a Knockback must exceed twice the defenders Chi Threshold to achieve a Ring Out.

Edge zones represents the very brink of the Land, or other areas of extremely uneven footing and great risk. Within Edge Zones, a Knockback must exceed the defenders Chi Threshold to achieve a Ring Out.

In addition, the degree of Condition a Xia is currently suffering affects this threshold. Those suffering a Minor condition reduce the Threshold multiplier by one, and those suffering a Major condition reduce it by two. These modifiers only apply once, no matter how many conditions a Xia may have suffered. The threshold is always a minimum of the Xia's base Chi threshold

An ordinary Keijo Land consists of three Zones- A Safe zone in the center, a Stable zone around the center, and an Edge zone adjacent to it, representing the typical circular arena.

Some variant Lands might simply lack one type of Zone- The Curved Mountain Land for instance has only Safe and Edge zones, while the constantly wetted Fountain Land might lack a Safe zone, having only Stable and Edge.

More complex Lands like the Road Land require more Zones, the Road Land consisting of alternating Stable and Edge zones representing the platforms and the bridges between them.

Some, like the Seesaw Land, will require special rules. Upon a Seesaw Land, a fighter may use a Shaping Wave to decrease the stability of all Zones- All Safe zones become Stable, all Stable zones become Edge Zones.

The GM is encouraged to come up with interesting Lands and rules for them, taking inspiration from the Land seen in the original Keijo manga, listed at http://keijo.wikia.com/wiki/Land.
