After a 10+ year hiatus, the NetHack DevTeam is happy to announce the release of NetHack 3.6, a combination of the old and the new.
Unlike previous releases, which focused on the general game fixes, this release consists of a series of foundational changes in the team, underlying infrastructure and changes to the approach to game development.

Those of you expecting a huge raft of new features will probably be disappointed. Although we have included a number of new features, the focus of this release was to get the foundation established so that we can build on it going forward.

Here's a synopsis of some of the changes we've made in the past year:

1. Personnel Changes
2. Infrastructural and Procedural Changes
3. Gameplay Changes
4. Other Changes

I think you are being too blunt with these insults.

If you think about it most racial slurs come from appearance.

"Nigger" = Black, "Chink" -> Eyes are narrower, like actual "chinks" in stone or metal.

When you try to make up fantasy slurs make the slur a simple one or two syllable word that describes an aspect of physical appearance that wouldn't normally be considered particularly insulting outside of context.

The hatred and aggression in slurs comes more from the history of their use rather than the word's stand-alone meaning.

Dark elves could be darkies, pig-like orcs could be tuskies or snouts or porkers, etc.

But our decade was nearly up. We had stopped marking calendars or scratching walls to tell the time awhile but we were always aware of time's passage. Mairwen's internal clock ticked away across our shared consciousness.

So after one more visit to Whiterun we made our way south, telling our trade partners we were returning to the deserts of home and thanked them for their business. We pulsed the Dragonborn once more with the item we hadn't used in years but they did not respond. Some say he was off in Solstheim, so he might have been out of range. It would have been nice to say goodbye.

When we set 'camp' on the eve of our expected transfer; Mairwen, Chardent, and I took first watch while the others retired to their rooms in the haven bag. We talked for a time, chuckled at flittering dreams passing through one friend or another's mind. Then sleep came, slow and drowsy as we fell asleep under open sky next to a crackling fire.

When I awoke however it was to ice and steel. A small floating geometric thing floated in front of me, it was rambling something but I paid it little attention as I reflexively tried to draw in breath and found I couldn't. I looked around wildly, then caught sight of myself through one of Mairwen's case cameras. A robotic figure with no need to breathe.

That was going to take some getting used to. However I was also relieved that Mairwen had the quick thinking to revert to their laptop form in this airless environment and warning the rest of our friends to stay inside the bag and for someone to seal it with a barrier spell before all the air escaped.

A second sigh of relief echoed across the mind when I re-entered. For a few bare seconds I'd been out of the mind - an event that hadn't happened since we'd been linked. It had been worrying. Ariel and Mairwen focused on poking and prodding this reality through Mairwen's extra-universal power port to figure out the basis of this world's spell code binary.

First for Clan Mercer Ravannion.

What's the worst variant of your favorite mech?

>>44065063

Making an AC/2 "viable" is a tough one. Honestly, it should likely be somewhere around 2 or 2.5 tons. It's a half-damage SRM-2 with triple the range and can use special ammo types. Half damage (2 vs 4) and double-range cancel one another out in my head. The third range band (which is also fixed) adds 1 ton. Ammo load is effectively equal (45 vs 50), so nothing needs done there. The question is whether the ability to load special ammo types should matter. In this case, I don't really think so (and SRMs can fire Infernos anyway). Heat generation between them is equivalent. Ballistics, however, always take up more criticals than their "equivalent" laser or missile weapon. The AC/2 was the only one which didn't, and I'll fix that now.

So: New AC-2
Mass: 2
Crits: 2
Ammo: 45
Damage: 2
Heat: 1
Minimum Range: 3
Short Range: 1-9
Medium Range: 10-18
Long Range: 19-27

"just get your "sister" to stop ramming the castle, then we get out of her and HOPEFULLY i never have to deal with catland causing trouble again"

Hosting Rogue Trader, it worked because I took the party out of the grimderp into a reasonable space opera scenario and the focus was on actual politics and not war.

A pretty solidly generic 3.5 campaign that went on for about 3 years and had its share of great moments. It was great because the party managed to balance itself in a way where everybody had the ability to do things that were unique and important.

Basically, it wasn't great because of the campaign or myself, but because I had great players.

what paint color would I use to get the non-teal color in pic related?

>>44064229
If you're not afraid of GW, they have some light and teal paints, like Temple Guard Blue.
Vallejo I have no idea.

4e's only sin was that it was different. It has no rules for roleplaying, because that shit should be logical and decided by the DM and the group. It does, however, have the most balanced combat that gives everyone a role and makes them good at it. You never have problems of the Wizard solving every encounter with a third level spell.

5e is new, and is at the very beginning of its production cycle. I like what I see so far, and some classes massive power in 3.x and earlier editions have been divided among subclasses to make them less all-powerful.

3.x is what most people will play because it was the edition that was out when they started playing. Pathfinder is the newest version of it. If you play with randoms or a public group or whatever, you will get lots of people who only want to play Pathfinder.

4e isn't that limited provided you have a good gm and the adventures aren't shit tier.
I'd recommend 5e though as it's the same basic chassis as 3.5 and pathfinder except strictly superior and more well designed. 3.5 and pathfinder are in many ways much more limited than 4e when it comes to how improv and the feat system interact.

The starter set for 5e is also a pretty damn fine adventure.

>>44063555
If your players enjoy tactical combat and deep character building, 4e. You can basically have all the material for PCs you could ever want through the offline builder, and has some of the best DM tools.

If you just want to get into the game as fast as possible, and just roll some dice at monsters, 5e.

The end.

One time people on this board made threads about things they liked, and other people posted in the threads and helped them make those things better.

Then those people started making threads about how nobody makes quality threads anymore, and other people posted in the threads to troll the OPs.

The end.
