That looks like it to me.
Can confirm. I've played with it against Karpov and Tal a few times.
>>47238994
How did they get the chess set inside the table? Or what kind of table, do you understand my question?

That's not really unique to that armor.

OP at usually I hear about off-play slipping into in-play but damn I never heard about in-play slipping to off-play. Next time make it a LARP :)
Jk now serious shit: D&D is a hobby and as a hobby, you need to have fun doing something you love, and those powergamers hotheads ruin it (with ruining your house). Tell the problematic dudes that they can try find somewhere else to play, because if they think its okay getting cops into your house and make your house look like a robbery, they should do this in their...

What the fuck.

Just what the fuck was considered a Super Heavy then ?
A bigger tank.

Unfortunately they were made obsolete by those damnable humanoid mecha
So long story short, I have a player who is playing a literal demigod in a futuristic cyberpunk w/supers campaign.
What challenges can I give him? What obstacles can I have him deal with? What are some good plot hooks, enemies, or struggles for a demigod?

if Greek Myth is to be believed, marital problems
Character details follow:
He was a powerful First Circle warlock back when he was still human, in another universe. He accidentally blew up/rewrote/imploded that universe upon failing a spell to win a particularly grievous planet-wide war (this actually happened in a prior campaign run years ago).
After that he was thrown into the cosmos, and was saved from an eternity of madness and nothingness by a "true" god, who took him under his wing as one of only four orphans remaining from that universe.
In any case, once he achieved it his godhood didn't...

Cultists find out about him, worship him, do everything wrong. Maybe they are aliens so he can't communicate with them so good.
So using the standard attributes of STR, DEX, CON, WIS, INT, CHA, how would you stat each of these silhouettes using either:
1) 22 point buy for regular PCs
2) standard PC stat arrays
3) as NPCs

nobody wants to stat fat people, go away
>>47231796
Fat people have huge livers and thus would have bonuses to CON and you know it.
STR is gains, CON is body fat.

I was talking with a rep from games workshop and he mention that 3d printing polypropylene was impossible but games workshop is going to be shortly switching to 3d printers.

The second is D&D 4e, where climbing a ladder literally becomes harder the higher level you go.
Fuck that.

I'm playing in a game like that. I like it so far.

OK, let me let you in on a huge secret here.
The point of leveling up in a good game shouldn't be purely about making your character more and more powerful. The main point of levelling up is to introduce more and more options for the characters to use, with enough space in between them that players have time to learn the uses of each one and spend some time with it before moving on to the next one. This will, by default, make them more powerful, but that's not really the POINT so much as a natural consequence.
One day you're hanging in the Sactum Imperialis when suddenly, right before your eyes, the EMPRAH gets up from the Golden Throne, his body back to full health and life, what do you do?
Deliver the good news all around the imperial palace and organize a great wake-up party for the big E!
>>47230592
>the EMPRAH gets up from the Golden Throne
Panic for all the 5 seconds I have remaining in my life because unless the Emperor sits back on the Throne, then tyhe breached Webway beneath the palace will explode and drown us all in Chaos and daemons.

I go back to playing Stellaris.
Any of you guys want to go down to Goblin Town?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogTDa-vG2MQ
Do goblin towns have any agriculture?
Maybe a herd of pigs and a fishing source, or can they survive entirely off of captured humanoids?
>>47232028
They've been known to harvest the fruits of 'accidental agriculture'.

Plants growing out of the communal goblin shit pile?

Best way to represent 3D movement in a table top? The subject is a space naval wargame.
A: Telescoping bases, each tick of height would count as moving 1", largely because each click would move it up/down 1". I love the visual concept of working on a 20x20" grid with bases that can click up 20 inches; it'd look very impressive. Weighted or even magnetic bases could be used to counter the precarious nature of such systems, but the ships would need to remain compact and sturdy to avoid bits shattering should one topple.
B: A clicker-base, like hero-clicks, which has a simple 1-20 counter on it, and turning it counts as 1" of movement. 0 visual splendor, but practical and safer for the models.
>>47230451
C: Don't represent 3D movement at all, it doesn't really add anything enjoyable to the game.
>>47230614
Clearly I disagree, so why even make that post?

Have you ever wanted to railroad your players when they do something really unexpected only to stop yourself and realize later that whatever happened was even better than your plan?

No. Also, fuck you.

Yes, fuck me.

Yes.
