Sidereal master race!

If someone has to make up an entire philosophy about how much they love shitting in other people's cornflakes, I see it a moral obligation to mock them mercilessly forever.

So fuck off. Life is absurd and always has been.

I don't understand /btg/'s hate against the Republic of the Sphere. They are almost a carbon copy of the Word of Blake, except the "muh evil faction" thing (and even then they are very gray with their "let the Republic ideals survive at any cost")

If people are interested in the story of how this game came to be:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D%26T

Also, if anyone has access to scans of the main rulebook or any of these Capcom based supplements they would be willing to share, I would really appreciate.

This is great! I was wondering if there was anyone out there still working on an English translation of this.
By the way, is this translated from just "3D&T", or "3D&T Alpha"?

>>46174914
3D&T Fastplay, which is the simplified version of 3D&T.

I have a line on the Alpha game.

How can I make an all-skeleton list work?
Would Undead or Empire of Dust be better for it?

The biggest problem seems to be shambling, requiring a heavy investment in surge casters.

The second problem is limited Height 2+ units, Large Infantry and Cavalry.

Anyone tried Varangur?

((Welcome to the Mecha Mercs Skirmish Campaign.

This is a tactical turn based collective game where each player takes on the role of a mech pilot. As the campaign progresses the players will accumulate a supply of resources which can be used to build up a persistent pool of mechs and equipment, but watch out! If your pilot dies you could lose it all and be forced to start again with an inferior mech.

Right now we are currently in a Hanger thread where the players can talk shop, ask the QM questions and take time to upgrade their mechs before the game progresses.

We are currently not accepting any new players.

A few little patches:

Increased the sensor range on the Squire because there's really no reason for it not to have it at 10.

The penetration the squire's electro pike has been decreased to 16, so as to make it more distinct from the Batman's electro bat.

Decoy drones now have mobility 5 so that they can actually emulate Knight Lite mechs properly.

The last mission made me think a lot about Decoy Drones and how they interacted with other aspects of the game, so I'm putting forth the following clarifications:

Decoy Drones do not trigger mines.

Hacking a Decoy's hightech systems will cause it not to act that turn. All other hack actions will do nothing but the hacking effect will still appear over the drone.

Decoys can perform fake attacks. These attacks are completely convincing but they always miss.

Enemy decoy drones do not necessarily appear as the same unit as their controller.

Getting cards in the yu-gi-oh world is incredibly hard. While you can easily get pathetic monsters with 300-900 attack points, anything higher than that is rather rare, with cards above 2000 being all but impossible to find for sale since only a handful were ever printed.

We're talking about a world where only 4 blue eyes white dragons were ever printed.

>lives in a world where card games are played almost universally
>there is no comprehensive card list online so people stop exclaiming they've never heard of a card every other game

Try going for something aesthetically pleasing. Continents made of majestic sweeping lines with nice concave bays, and strings of archipelagos around jutting areas.

I haven't checked but there's probably a ton of generators on the net too. Gen up some for inspiration.

Do you have the game Civilization? Or any 4x game that makes a map of a planet? That's something you can use too.

This is what I use to knock up a country/continent map on the quick. Probably better methods (and if anyone wants to post them I'm all for it), but it gets the job done.

As for making the shapes plausible/pleasing? From what I've tried and heard from others, it's more or less a combination of trial-and-error teaking and sheer dumb-luck. Sometimes something will look hopelessly shit but then you'll gently fiddle with one pointy bit and suddenly it's fucking LUSH.


Since we're talking worldbuilding: Has anyone ever done a setting where a nonhuman race is the dominant/main species and humans are comparatively rare/exotic? If so, how'd it go for you?

>>46316688

This room is remarkably comfortable friendly. It's got a hearth, comfortable benches, a fountain.

It's a bit too friendly. The room starts following them around, 2 rooms behind them.

>If i want to simulate plate armor`s deflection bonus against cuts (like swordstrikes) ,
In my opinion a proper depiction would be that if the plate armor and the sword are made of materials that are roughly the same strength, then there is no cutting, period. Instead you can offer the player to aim for an unprotected area and give him an appropriate penalty on his to-hit roll (depending on the quality of the design of the armor).
If the blade is of a superior hardness then you subtract the armor rating of the plate from the damage that the cut would normally do.

>>46315124
with a strike hard enough and a weapon with enough mass behind it , it would at least dent the plates i guess. Poleaxes and bardiches existed for a reason

otherwise , i really like your idea. maybe i should split the damage into cut and impact? it would allow to beat someone unconcious through his metal helmet even if it dulls the edge.

>>46315571
>Poleaxes and bardiches
Hacking and cutting are two different kinds of attack. Late medieval swords weren't balanced to hack anything much. Axes and bardiches were top-heavy and thus give themselves naturally to a hacking motion.
Of course, for swords no one should forget that halfswording and mordhau exist.

Know that feel OP, I think that the last session that I was genuinely and thoroughly prepared to was like a year ago or something like that.

Quick, steal everything you can from other people during the last 3 possible hours. If you don't have all the necessary stuff for the campaign beforehand, try to write some notes as the game goes on as you improvise stuff.

>>46313000
Schedule prep time blocks for the next few days. Stick to that schedule, and you'll be prepped with minimum stress.

>>46312304

Try Morrowind. It was the right balance of familiar and outlandish. In fact, things that lean towards the "Discworld" type of fantasy setting tend to run the just right amount of outlandish and "standard" fantasy components as to allow freedom for unique stuff without being something difficult to grasp like say, Flatworld.

fill it with memorable regions, kingdoms, characters and events

>One of the arguments by people that are happy with the end of WHFB is that the setting was generic.
those people are just using generic to mean "thing I do not like"

>>46312304
WHFB wasn't generic at all, taking place in the Early Modern period including the Age of Exploration and an Americas analogue in its setting.
