Games Workshop needs to be actively defenestrated at this point.

They have poisoned the well of miniature wargaming. Made the vast majority of consumers into automatons who can't even comprehend buying a rulebook from one company and miniatures from others, who can't comprehend anything more than tables that look like *this* whilst safely nuzzled into the quarterly pitter patter of a FOMO box army release and a "MetaWatch" dubiously balanced from a couple of handfuls of tournament games, ad infinitum.

Like, imagine one of your core animating drivers in the hobby not being to create, to enjoy, and to pass that on to others, but "hype" for next product from the faceless monolith. It does such damage to our community, all these golems.

They're not going to be magicked out of existence and if they did the people that are responsible for the ugliness of the modern game of 40k are an element of the community and the rest of the community are responsible for willingly going along with their ideas. Unless they too magically disappear then a containment scene is a good thing.

They ARE the well of miniature wargaming. It's a niche hobby, and without GW it would be a tiny, insignificant niche hobby. Other companies wouldn't be better off without GW, they would collapse with no one else in the industry able to bring in nearly as many new players.
Are their modern games shit? Probably, but I've hardly looked at any for about 20 years. Are their modern minis shit? Most of the ones I see posted here look horribly overdone, yes. Are they overpriced? They link price to in game points so some of the cheap troops aren't too bad, but mostly yes, absurdly so.
None of that really bothers me because I just don't buy or play their new games.

How about picking >>92804456 or >>92821666, a random number, and everybody contributes a hero, villain or team in that mini setting until we have that many NPCs for it?

If anyone wants to participate, first we vote:
>1. Setting where all supers have powers relating to one element between, Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light or Darkness. One or two powers per super, preferably subtle or symbolic powers.
or
>2. Two factions, Order and Chaos, both have villains and heroes.

If anyone else has an idea or area you need to fill with NPCs we can add to the next round.

there's a massive difference between a DM playing an NPC and a player playing a PC
in most cases, unless it's the DM's extra special OC DMPC, a female character is nothing special, just another character filling the world.

on the other hand, a player has to actively CHOOSE to play a female character. they have one character to play and they said "i want a pussy and tits"

But my character doesn't actually enjoy sex or attempt it with anyone they actually like. Its only ever been purely transactional due to multiple dependencies. I didn't even think that one up myself this was just pointed out to me by the other players.

Clearance isn't the same as lowering the actual price, it's also only done when you're trying to get rid of your last stock of an item that is selling very poorly in order to clear shelf space. That kind of thing happens on the individual store level and not a corporate one

I'd agree that in terms of flavor, exiling your graveyard feels a bit more Golgari. And discarding cards similarly works better with Golgari's mechanics, compared to Orzhov which typically wants the creatures on the board for Haunt/Extort/Afterlife.

If anything, Bitterblossom's cost would fit well there. Though then it'd basically be the same card aside from making spirits instead and having a more strict cost

Try photojoiner up in the OP. Then just get some decent cardstock/cardboard/whatever and make sure your printer can double print, I guess?

You'd think this (or attacking a player) would be in the base definition already. Maybe doing a certain large amount of combat damage (5-10 or something) would count.

Turns out when you plan to put everything into a VTT anyway designing a video game for people to actually play and doing your job as a "game designer" isn't very important.

The words you're looking for are "exceedingly convoluted" or "clunky". Add also "reinventing the wheel" to the bunch because:
>every single ability and attack in the game having a chart. You roll 2d6, look in the chart, it says the effect of your ability
It's literally Rolemaster, a game made 44 years ago (that also had the "to hit" and "damage" unified under one roll), so MCDM is not even breaking into new territories, which makes Fat Colville and followers full of shit on top of everything.

Also, just to add to this shit, without missing and without rolling for damage, most of your attack will look like this
>Precise Attack
>Tags: Weapon, Time: 1 action, Target:One enemy within reach
>You deal a crushing strike to an enemy you can see, putting all your strength into it
>2-6: 3+STR damage
>7-9: 5+STR damage
>10-12: 7+STR damage and you push the target 2 squares.

You will only ever do one of 3 things with an ability. There's no "lower hit" or "great hit" or "miss". You either do 3, 5, or 7 damage and never anything else. If you score a 12 you just get to take another action and do the same thing.

I guess the point is if you want variety you get to use another one of your "awesome abilities", like "cleave" or "come on then", because one of the things Matt WON'T change from 4e is having the most uninspired ability names in existence. Can't wait for "Pushing strike" "Mighty Strike", "Whirlwind Strike" and "Piercing Strike" to all be options at the same level.

The general population was never well informed or had a firm grasp on these subjects before then though…
What you’re really noticing is the curtain being pulled back (proliferation), the bar raising (seeking educated workers), and not many people being able to make the cut.
It’s tragic but like you said a lot of men can’t make it either. Every institution noted this almost immediately. Schools, military. What you’re seeing now is a weird charade of saying “well the points are made up and don’t matter anyway (ie math is racists and sexist)” since do nothing jobs are reaching more and more of the population (where the degree doesn’t matter, you just have to have it, so of course it doesn’t matter if you can actually carry out what it is you’re supposedly qualified to). This debases the education system even at its higher end, as worthless fields via those who have bought in and enjoy the power it gives them, gain more sway over those that do matter.
We are speed running our way to a competency crisis and total break down of systems: idiocracy edition.
