Is it me, or are dedicated healers downright worthless in most RPGs? It's a waste of resources for very limited use under only specific circumstances.
Let's say we have a party of four players fighting an enemy. Three of them are on the offensive in the broadest sense of the word (which means attacking, but also buffing themselves or debuffing the enemy and anything that puts the party in an advantageous position against the enemy). The fourth player can then choose: heal, or also go on the offensive in the broadest sense of the word. Going on the offensive means ending an encounter faster, while healing only drags it out without harming the enemy. If your party intends to win an encounter it's much better for all players to go on the offensive and heal outside of combat. You don't need a healer for that: potions and magical items will often do the trick. Even if these are somehow unavailable (which would be arbitrary bullshit), "secondary" healers like the paladin can pick up the slack.
Dedicated healers are only useful under two circumstances. The first being a situation in which the party does not try to win. This could happen for example if they try to delay a vastly superior enemy. In that case buying time is all you're trying to do, and healing hurt partymembers is a perfect way to buy more time. The second situation is an MMORPG or comparable circumstances, where fighting is so fast-paced that a heal spell here or there makes an actual difference.
tl;dr: Healers deserve to be bullied because of how useless they are

Red Book Aftermath Edition
Khorne confirms new Halo game Sub-Edition
We're finally getting over the new Red Book and its effects, don't you wish your Breachers could be good like an assault marine, we discussed the timeline of the HH, it has come to my attention that these summaries have become lackluster as people view tictac marines, Phosphex Achilles sounds rather nice, Anons still want a pdf, and a debate on who was more skilled at arms was had plus much more in the last thread >>48288590

I'm currently (not) working on an adventure for my first (super serious not practice) time DMing. I want to make a world of my own, which is easy enough, but I'm still not confident building dynamic encounters.

You are a young group of nobles recently granted your own plot of land in the new country. Delighted, you and your families all move with A compliment of servants and vassal. Its not until your new fortress is well under construction you realize why you family got this land so cheaply. The damnable fae are everywhere!

Why does this happen constantly? Out of all the DnD and DnD variant games i've played only one has come to it's actual end, while games on other systems have almost without a beat ended only once the campaign has ended with only 1 or 2 people having to leave along the way.

>TFW you can never find a game that isn't D&D or a variant thereof
Anyway, I think it might be because D&D is basically everyone's first RPG, so everyone has to learn it if they're going to play RPGs at all. Most people are too lazy or dumb to learn something they don't have to, and those who aren't are going to be the kind of people that are better to play with.
>>
For the same reason that you will never ever get good players if you're accepting randos on Roll20, and why the Critical Role fans are so despised.
It's entry-level roleplaying, hidden behind a computer screen half the time.
Same deal with entry-level anime where the fans are obnoxious. It's accessible.
Also, you forgot that FATE and WoD in general both attract weirdos.
>>
>>48296725
RPGs are the equivalent of getting into engine overhauls and other car tuning, while D20 is the equivalent of tuning up a Honda Civic and nailing spoilers to the back. The first is just the sign of someone who enjoys their hobby, while the second is the sign of a freak who thinks that any niche activity would accept them better than the mainstream.

Antipaladin. He is literally unable to comprehend that people aren't inherently selfish, will kill his allies to obtain his own goals, etc.

Or just a fucking Fighter because not everyone who has some kind of moral compass is a Paladin.

Previous thread: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/48185231/
So last time a bunch of anons came together and made a cyberpunk setting set in 2077 where the Japanese economic bubble never burst. Here are some of the details for the world
>Japan is a major economic power in East Asia
>The South Koreans won the Korean War
>China is split by the Orange River with the communist People's Republic of China in the north and the Republic of China in the south
>The USSR has expanded to the Middle East and North Africa, taking over areas such as Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, ect...
>After WWII, the Jews were relocated to Ethiopia and fought a series of wars with the local Muslim population
>Germany is a major producer of tanks, luxury cars, trains, and firearms
>American corps have established many operations in the Banana Republics, exploiting them for resources and drugs
>Heavier reliance on sustainable and nuclear energy
>Some technologies in this new future are: robots for recreational use (as well as some experimental military ones), mechanical transplants, lab-grown meats, exoskeletion suits, smartguns, and augmentations
Here is the google doc for those that want to make suggestions for the world:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xVFbFnROjO4Tz1YOoX9SaiYO-PxBdNR9IBCd_1cCcjU/edit
Now let's start off with some questions:
>What's going on in Europe? How are the French and British reacting to the new strength of Germany?
>Let's figure out some corps. What are some examples of Japanese corps? American? German? Russian? Chinese?
>How far removed is South Africa from the Muslim-Russian struggle in the northern regions of the continent?
>Does the US occupation of Japan end earlier or later than it does in our own history?
>How common are augmentations?
>Does Japan only dominate Pan-Pacific trade or does their influence reach to Europe and the Near East? What about Germany?

I kinda do not like the how China is split up. I think RoC should just stay in Taiwan. Why? It would led to a far, far weaker China for my suggestion. So you have Russia expanding in Asia and Middle East, which China somewhat regards as its sphere of influence. China would absolutely hate this and probably fight some wars with the USSR over this. We can make it so that the wars cost both the USSR and China economically and socially. We can make it so that the Republic of China (Taiwan) has made revolutionary groups backed by Korea, Japan, and the United States of America. I feel like this can led to way more interesting social, political and economical impacts throughout the setting. For example on the news we can hear about "freedom fighters/terrorist" bombing some government building in Beijing. Plus it can led a war between Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and United States to restore the Republic of China. Or that can be the back story behind that.
>>
>>48262039
The revolutionary groups would be based in People's Republic
>>
>>48262039
So during the Chinese Civil War, the Communists fought the Nationalists but couldn't force them to surrender so the Nationalists sought refuge in Taiwan and built a new government there? I do think though that the RoC would try to retake some mainland cities, possibly the nearby Hong Kong. The only thing I don't get is why the majority of China (which is communist) would be fighting Russia (a major superpower). If it was the RoC with capitalist backing, I could imagine that though. I think the RoC would be too busy with the PRC to make attacks on Russia though.

Mobile Frame Zero is a fun mecha skirmish game, Brikwars is amazing even if it requires a bit of work and a lot of improvising. It's not the most balanced thing, but if everyone is playing along it can be crazy fun.

Rumors point to fall off next year. While it may not be to the level of aos, the rumors say gw recognizes how bloated and needlessly complex the rules have gotten, and are looking to streamline and slim it down, make it more friendly for new players and the like.
