I’ll add that when friends start to happen at games stores they 100% turn into home games. Leaving those who wouldn’t be welcome at most home games stuck at store games.
master of puppets is really good but it’s also a song from an album full of good songs so it’s natural people will like different songs. Plus master of puppets is so overplayed that no matter how good it is people will be tired of it. I personally think sanitarium and disposable heroes are better but my favorite songs change like every day so idk
We had a dude who, after defense week in SOI, decided to go straight to the bowling alley in the cammies he was wearing instead of showering and changing.
I mean they can compete in more than one event for track and field and swimming right? I would think if someone was skilled at wrestling, judo, etc they could probably do more than one.
You can do both. It honestly shouldn’t take that long to set ground rules, and if everyone shows up with characters ready, you can play. Introducing the characters to each other and getting a feel for the party.
Either make XP gain equal or just use milestones every few sessions or as a conclusion to a particular questline. IME trying to dole out particular amounts per player contribution is not only more trouble than it's worth with everything else you're doing as a DM, but also can become a sort of metagame among the players competing for scraps of XP rather than with their characters/the story/the world for their own sake.
Also worth considering, how do you award XP for buffing another character who killed a bunch of stuff, or healing a character who would have gone down. I’d get pissed if I did a bunch of buffs and crowd control but didn’t get the same XP as the front liners etc.
In my first game as a player, this happened frequently. The barbarian always got the most kills and therefore the most xp. I used ball bearings/ grease for creating choke points and crowd control. Got a few kills through normal means. Long story short it seemed the DM was only worried about who killed what.
Depends on what you like. I’m darker lighting it helps to have a bit more pronounced highlighting. I’ve noticed when playing the guys with less pronounced highlighting don’t stick out as much.
AI to the rescue! I hope we will at least see some more 'serious' RPGs. In the old times, it was up to writers to do compelling questlines and dialogues, so they were really trying hard - see Planescape Torment, OG Fallouts, Baldurs Gate 1&2. Then players started expecting voice acting for every single character, which made writing excessive texts non viable from financial perspective (each line had to be then voice acted by someone which makes it order of magnitude more expensive and time consuming). If AI can help at least with this, we might see golden era of RPGs coming back.
Back when Garand looked like a kid from the early 60’s that just got drafted.

Yep, that’s what happened with my group.
"Mainsplaining" sounds like he's just an asshole.
I guess, they will remove the vehicle, and maybe add a box of Sword Bros.
Yeah they seem to be removing vehicles and dreads etc. from the CP's
Should he be a captain in terminator armor I’ve seen other people do that
I just think the base size might be off for a captain.
Rebasing him is pretty easy tho, why not
Other than base size outside of tournaments most people should be cool with that.
What model parts did you use?

Disposable heroes is super underrated. I love that song. Battery also.
Everyone wants to deploy til it’s time to do deployment shit.
It was the best part of my enlistment. But a bunch of my buddies died, got permanently injured, and later committed suicide.
Defender of Family Values.

These land raiders are really cool.
It would be so cool if someone could actually compete in more than one grappling thing in the olympics

BOTH

Looks good.
Great blend between clean and grim dark.
If red white and black is a racist colour scheme what do we tell the whitestripes?
Or, like, all the goths.

Personally the only way I wouldn’t divide XP evenly is if someone actively avoided the fight or tried to sabotage their group or something.
Don't see a point in painting highlights and shodows on a 3d object.
Because the paint doesn’t react to light the same way a metal object with paint on it would.

I think AI is going to very quickly start reducing the amount of time it takes to develop and test a game before release.
It’s ok for one song. It’s grating on the whole album.
It seems to me all the complaints about the micro transactions are a bit silly if they are all things you can just naturally do in game.
Every preview I watched said there was a single save file. I’m honestly not sure how that one wasn’t in whatever previews you watched.
When I could, I trained 6 days a week sometimes 2 a days.
