Awesome Cold War concept art thread?

This is the most autistic shit I've seen in a while.

The fastest way to make combat faster is to get rid of initiative. It is a garbage idea that only serves to slow down combat and hurt tension.

As a game designer, I immediately discard any RPG I see that uses an initiative system. It is outdated game design and it is time the RPG community accepts that and moves on.

It got an article on Wired a few years back so it's probably at least somewhat legitimate. However, anything they give you for $27 (to start with) you can get for free by reading online and asking people for advice. Anyone who pays for this is a sucker. I feel bad for anyone just getting into the hobby that might actually be sucked into this shit because they don't know any better.

Also the man at the bottom of the page has almost no chin.

Make sure people are familiar with the mechanics of their character.

Seriously make sure people are familiar with the mechanics of their character.

Make sure you are familiar with the mechanics of the monsters/NPCs.

Cut down on idol side chatter

Punish people taking too long by skipping their turn.

>Thanks to ever more deregulation, corporations are more akin to countries than companies. They run their own PMC that are more armies than security officers. They use those as an extension or their might and an armed fist to protect their interests and seize resources in unstable and politically weak countries.

Isn't that already a staple of Cyberpunk?

Oooooo.

I like using redevelopment and civil archives to get a sense of what places were like in past eras.

Here is one for the Norfolk, Virginia area.

When you play it the way you want to play it it's basically the same card. In exchange for Surge being less flexible than Kicker the body is more relevant without the alt-cost. The rest is just the lord templating stuff.

he slowed down for his friends so they can catch up. That way all his ally friends can go into the red zone with him

It can't. Said deity doesn't listen to people. Fortunately, a bored demon is paying attention and helps him, without the my monk knowing, of course.

There's a voice in his head. It speaks words wise and divine. And it has never steered me wrong so far. Not even when commanding to kill. Especially not when commanding to kill.

The PC is basically Joan of Arc except male and not French.

1) Performapal is one of the best tourney decks right now. Look up PePe.dek.

It's Performapal/Performage, not the frog.

2) If you're trying to do competitive, save your money and buy singles instead of packs.

3) Yes.

>>44511005
I also have a bunch of performages, but many more performpals.
how does the deck work?

What exactly do you mean as "space opera system"?

I enjoy the WEG (Star Wars) D6 system. And its freely available online:

>They can't have a hunter-gatherer lifestyle if their civilization is supposed to be reasonably advanced.

Depends on the elves.

High elves and other kinds with an advanced civilization for a setting could might have used magic, the blessing of a deity, or something else to take care of resource production.

Wood elves and other kinds that don't have an advanced civilization for a setting could still be hunter-gatherers. If their native environment had abundant plants and animals to eat and very rarely had disasters and other ecological threats, it could work. Given the long life and low breeding rate of typical elves, they would not use up all of the available resources and have centuries old elders who keep information.

This is assuming no 'hard' anthropology or ecology, and just providing enough of an explanation for verisimilitude.

There are magic items for dragons in 3.5's Draconomicon, with stuff like claw-gauntlets and stabilizing flight fins and whatever.

I don't think there's any art of a dragon actually kitted out like that outside of the individual little art pieces in that equipment section, though.

>>44509760
I've seen a variant where dragon is connected to his hoard and is considered to have all the magical items from it on him. It night've actually been in Draconomicon.

>>44509595
... They do? As with all magical items it is an option.

and finally Onix, Lairon, Lairon, Steelix, Aggron for badge 8.

My last Shadowrunner, Montecore.

He was flamboyant, he wore a Liberace coat with electrified fur trim for use in close quarters. (The Distinctive Style drawback). He spoke with a camp german accent and flirted with basically anything with a pulse. His contacts included former lovers (including an in-the-closet arms dealer) and the owner of a drag bar he used to perform at.

Montecore was also an 9-foot tall troll and the team's heavy weapons specialist.

A filthy rich, stupid young man vampire with a penchant for blue suits, cowboy hats and pearls.

He had an elderly manservant ghoul who spoke in a hoarse, posh accent "Very good, young sir" and spent his off time in drug fueled orgies with prostitutes in his mansion.

The game was set in 80s Miami.

Pic, not related, but fabulous.

This kind of Chaotic Randumb shit is why nobody takes Shadowrun seriously.

Also the fact that you need to roll a shit ton of dice to resolve a single attack.

But the tacky setting is almost as offensive as the overcomplicated RIFTS-tier rules.

Like Sean Connery singing to that lady in the movie dragonheart.

GURPS

Make your own apocalypse world hack

>>44502091
Exalted is a bit of a bad choice at the moment, since the new edition is the first to be not complete trash, but at present the choices for characters are Solars and dirty peasant mortals.

LotW handles mass combat in a weird way: a group of people is statted out as a single character, and given a rank similar to the rank used for PCs. Of the two, I'd suggest LotW.

GURPS might work, but it puts a lot on the GM to look through splats for the rules they want to use, so it might not be best if you're new to the system. Other generic systems tend to be a bit lighter on rules, but that may be a selling point.
