A bit.

But how would it be adapted to be a game?

>>46771340
Have two different on states, red and blue.

game executes as normal when red and blue cells are not adjacent.

When a red a blue cell are adjacent, the one with the lesser amount of friendly cells adjacent to it is killed. This is cumulative for all enemy cells touching a friendly sell. (pic is example). enemy cells otherwise do not affect each other

Game is played on a 1000x1000 board, toroidal, and each player starts in a 100x100 region along the midline of the board and equidistant; they have 10/25/100 (whatever) number of starting cells.

A bit of background here for people who don't know what this is.

Conway's game of life is a "no-player game" that takes place on a 2-dimensional grid of cells. Each cell can have one of two states: "alive" or "dead". Whether or not a cell is considered alive or dead is governed by these four rules:
>If a live cell is surrounded by one or fewer other live cells, it dies on the next turn, as if by underpopulation.
>If a live cell is surrounded by two or three other live cells, it stays alive on the next turn.
>If a live cell is surrounded by four or more live cells, it dies on the next turn, as if by overpopulation.
>If a dead cell is surrounded by exactly three live cells, it comes to life on the next turn, as if by reproduction.

From these simple rules, remarkably complex situations can emerge. In gif related, each frame corresponds to one turn, strictly following the rules outlined above. Despite the simplicity of these rules, no matter how much mathematicians have scrutinized this game, they have found no simple way to predict what will happen n number of turns from now, except to play the game out for n turns and see what happens.

The creator of the game, John Conway, hypothesized that it would be impossible to create an ever-expanding universe under these rules; that any given configuration would inevitably give in to entropy. This was disproven by some MIT students when they developed the structure shown in gif related.

This is just vague enough to be meaningless.

Gonna need more detail, any observation right now would be too general.

Yes.

>Who are we?
Maka, an exiled noble Exalted as a Zenith-caste Solar. Queen of Gem, now ruling the western island of Tianna. You have gathered a vast amount of allies and friends, and defeated every threat to Tianna up to now.
You recently discovered that Tianna is actually an artificial island, built around a First Age Titan: an almighty flying fortress. Your forces have crushed the Bodhisattva Anointed by Dark Water, a Deathlord who tried to usurp its power for himself.
And now, on the day of your wedding, the Unconquered Sun Himself appeared to you and crowned you Princess of Creation, asking you to be an example for others in these dark times.

>Solar? Zenith? I don't know Exalted...
This quest is as newbie-friendly as possible, and I want it to work as a newbie's intro to Exalted. If you have ANY question, ask in thread. For the setting, google "1d4chan exalted".

>Archive?

>They better make gork/morkanughts superheavy walkers edition.
Hope is the first step on the road of disappointment.

Orks need deepstrike, like a rok that does large blast or small body depending on how many units are inside but makes you roll for wounds on everyone if landing on a enemy unit

Orks just need more rules for looted vehicles.

In the beginning, there was the world, and there were the ancient ones.

The Ancient Ones ruled the cold, dark earth and all that eked a living on it with the raw entropy. The act of survival was the only one, and many turned to these foul powers in worship to siphon it off for their own use. The three faces of the Ancient Ones were Death (the shadowy devourer), Black (The frozen end of all things) and Doom (the unquiet stillness). There were only those men who bound themselves to such powers, and those who tried to avoid and survive.

After some time, three paragons of these survivors arose. Through superhuman strength and leadership, they found that man has its own power and they called it Metal. These three scions rose to godhood, leading man against the Ancient ones and their servants. They no longer just survived, but flourished. The three were Power (the light that banishes the darkness), Folk (the warmth of the heart of man), and Speed (the wind that runs). They led man to carve out their own lands, and fight to this day.

Music is the spirit of Metal, no matter for good or ill. Men of both sides and the beings of the world all use music to shape aspects of their lives. Herd beasts bellow baselines the swiften their metallic hooves, predators stun their prey with distorted bellows, and man alone created instruments to mimic the power of the gods and creatures.

Given time, all things come to harmony; even the most discordant static of a Industrialite will sync with the rest of the electric whine of its hive. Because of this, some people finds those who meet their tempo, and an instant bond is formed, combining their individual skills and powers into something more... The Band.

Bands are the great adventurers of the Metal Realm. They explore, they create, they fight and they are hailed as heros or villains by those drawn and affected by their music. No one knows how these form, only that they are the ones most likely to shape the world, and that band changing is a monumental occasion. Wary are those who see a band break up, or changes in a Band- such consequences can be great...

Have any of you ever played in any alternate settings? Any of the Shards from Mirrors, or maybe the Chronicler's Guide options? Has anyone done Dark Era stuff yet?

There was a bit of talk last thread of fantasy WoD. How would you go about handling that kind of thing?

I really want to run an Innistrad/Castlevania/Van Helsing inspired Hunter game set in a fantasy world

>>46821470
i'm planning to do a sundered world one-shot when Mage 2E drops. It's gonna be about a circle of the wise fending off some spirits+hunter-cultists who figured out their god-hunting bullshit and are intent on making them pay for it. Also it's in the dead of winter.

>Emotional Urging also isn't the same thing as Psychic Domination.

Yeah, she could have argued that at the local Consilium, the place such disputes are supposed to be resolved, but instead she mind controlled a bunch of kids to brutally kill another mage.

Lucy seems sort of whiny and self-centered. She's not particularly impressive as a mage. A Gnosis 3 Acanus with only Fate 2, Time 1, Mind 3, Prime 1 and Life 1. More than sufficient to have caught her cancer early and been treatable (even without magic), but not a particularly strong demonstration of commitment to the study of the Mysteries.

Even without the murder, it's no wonder she's not liked by local mages , she apparently has no mage contacts out of the area, and no one wants to help her without something significant in return (and she was at first willing to do some *very* questionable things for help).

I can only imagine how the Lucy Sulphate stories might have been spun if she wasn't based on a favorite PC of Wood Ingham.

Her Wisdom 7 also seems a little fishy.

Yarb.

Azure Striker Reporting in:
You have gained the ability to project incapacitating discharges of electricity, ban enough to get someone to shit themselves. These discharges are quite close range, but can be focused through conductive equipment like a bat or metal bar. While you are discharging electricity, you enter a state of temporary invulnerability, allowing you to essentially leap on and shock others without fear. This a Striker ability supplemented by a Breaker ability. The Striker ability is a result of the source of pain being very close to you (in your body) and the Breaker ability comes about as a result of the stress of the operation.

Dimir would have to be subtle, probably incorporated with other tattoos. Boros looks like you're advertising that you're into fisting. I'm partial to Azorius and Golgari, with Simic and Izzet taking close second.

Also, dudes can get tramp stamps, too, though tramp stamps should be frowned upon no matter the gender of the tattooee.

Azorius: Illuminati confirmed.
Boros: "I am a white supremacist."
Dimir: Will get confused with Spiderman.
Golgari: Might be OK
Gruul: "I am a big fan of Survivor."
Izzet: "I regularly purchase dragon dildos."
Orzhov: Pretty neutral, but if you're even a bit superstitious, you can see how putting Orzhov marks on your body is a bad idea.
Rakdos: Kind of cool, but looks like a BDSM thing, which is not altogether untrue, so that's good?
Selesnya: "I am a new-age hippie. Also I'm Vegan."
Simic: As Selesnya, but a little bit less intense.
