>all the nice tutorials you use
I've got a problem. I've got pretty good tutorial for making "random" shore, but I can't fucking make anything else than the shore.
And I need to divide the map to hexes, paint it in colour and most importantly make it in such way that all hexes will be later swiftly filled in with player colours (it's for a builder game)

So here is the tutorial and I'm gladly trading it for some help

I'm pretty sure everyone was saying Fatcaster was a great Standard card when it was spoiled (emphasis on Standard)

Price spike due to the pro tour is not indicative of anything

>>49856029
>5/6 flash that either counters a spell, kills a dude and ambushes another or does scry 2 draw 2 is not indicative of anything

I found the one that said that vehicles and fatcaster were bad and green Gearhulk and Chandra would be Standard staples

People said it was the worst after Red one, and often even under the Red one.

Is it really that hard to come up with a reason?
Are you /co/-folk utterly devoid of imagination?

Training. Personal Relations. Magic curse. Promise that must be upheld. Some particular specialty. Nanobots.

It's not like big name heroes don't team up with benchwarmers all the time in the comics for one contrived reason or another.

>Why would Batman hand around with a group of inexperienced noob heroes.
>Never watched the Static Shock cartoon.
>Never saw Batman work with Static (a rookie street-level hero).
>Never saw Static help the Justice League take down Brainiac.

Get out, scrub.

I never knew this was a thing. Don't play with idiots.

>>49855025
Sorry anon, I'm at a loss.

>>49855025
All the monsters are leaving the forest because of the fire, obviously. And the bandits hiding there.

Druids were there for a reason maintaining a careful balance between nature spirit shit or something, since they've peaceful out spoopy shit occurs and the forest get angry or something, cue leshens or living trees or something else cool you can make up, now the players can decide whether to instead help the druids save the forest and not die to Mr Count and friends or just get out of dodge and be morally ambiguous about the whole thing.

That's what I'd do anyway

There's a group of people that keeps masturbating over Dogs in the Vineyard, I'm amazed you missed them.
Then there's Deadlands if you don't mind some magic, weird and steampunk.
And GURPS Old West. Or GURPS Deadlands too.

>>49854845
There's a ton of western RPGs. Aces and Eights, Boot Hill, Sidewinder Recoiled, at least four of them indie story-games. That said, I find it kinda telling that none of these are actually talked about ever. Generic is probably the best way to go.

Gunslingers and Gamblers.
The system uses poker dice (using normal d6 is no problem you only need to roll doubles or straights the numbers or images don't really matter).
You can start as specialist or generalist, defining your number and value of skills.
The higher your skill the more rerolls you get to try to get the best possible hand.
Each character gets a few quirks, that either gain them chips if the quirk is a hindrance or specialise the usage of chips in a skill but also better the result.
Usually one spent chip raises your hand by one step (four of a kind become a poker) but if you have a beneficial quirk it raises by 2.
Weapons raise your hand as well, the difference in your shooting roll and the degenders reflex roll determines the amount of wounds the target gets.
To not die you have to roll a grit check with a higher hand then your wounds determine.
It's easier than it sounds, you have a table on your character sheet.

Muh superior but arrogant elder race is easier to translate than ye wacky drunk midgets.

>>49854651
That's pretty much it.

I know Star Wars has elves too, in the form of the Nagai (more like dark elves, but same shit), but I don't know if they have dwarves.

In the collective mental architecture of the human logos, elves represent something transcending or post-human whereas dwarves represent something beneath or pre-human, making elves more easily translatable into futuristic terms since we're all pretty much on board with the forward progress/improvement of the human race at this point.

Is it . . . SeaQuest DSV?

Wow that looks like it'd be a really cool game...

>d20 roll under

...for me to run with a different system.

What's the matter with d20?

The Old Ones are not manifestations of destruction. They, too, had a universe, and while it was beyond the comprehension of any mortal man, it was good. Yet all things die. They seek after this world not out of hatred, but mere survival instinct. And when our universe is dying, our gods will have no choice but to do the same.

The largest tribe on the Northeast Coast, The Giants, hold dominion over the last remnants of one of humanity's largest settlements. Though the Gaian Plague has reduced its largest structures to rubble and collapsed a majority of its old transit tunnels, the Giants have thrived. Metlife Castle, home to the Forefather and his army, stands as a symbol of strength to all those who come to trade with, serve under, and live among the people of the concrete jungle.

Origins was good. 2 was shit and inquisition had ups and downs.

Does anyone have Dread? I really want to try that out.
Have a random .pdf in return.

>>49853228
Depends on which genre you're planning to run.

>>49853245
I would like to run a campaign related to cyberpunk or space exploration(multiple planets, starships, etc)

>>49853287
First of all, you're going to want to choose a system. If space travel is going to be a major part of your game, I'd recomend Traveller 2e.

Also, what other movies give a good supernatural horror opposed by modern military vibe?

Sicario isn't explicitly supernatural but it certainly has a possibly illegal interagency government program doing questionable things to fight a threat foreign to most Americans.

I'd play chess more, but it's just embarrassing being beaten by my phone every time.

>>49851219
Don't worry about it so much.
I still can't win against most easier levels without backtracking, and yet I have around a 50/50 win ratio on freechess.

AWE is defs worth taking a look at now more than ever due to their showcase of actual historical techniques. Starting with their Kill Bill katana, and most recently with their Ulfberth viking sword, they've had some really cool demos of how much of a fucking pain in the ass smithing used to be.

Also they're from Bal'mah, so I gotta rep my homedawgs.

>>49851193
I liked the show before it was bought out.

I have a high suspicion that there is some shilling going on for this vid.

There were 3 diff threads yesterday.

It's alright, but they should have made a scale one that could be swung around by a normal human.

Wasted opportunity.
