Song of Swords: Discord is gay

Oh great, you are giving Jimmy more ideas. Next update we will see Zells squatting upside down on the ceiling telling Rahoos to get out of here. And whalebone driftwood that becomes artifacts after drifting in the currents of the Void for years and soaking in its energies. And bloodsuckers. And damki. Do you enjoy yourself now?

Ballad will become the meme setting to rule all other meme settings. The prophecy has foretold this.

Tell me more about food, Jimmy.

No, tell me more about Kalmacia.

Please.

My game is tomorrow and I don't know anything about the place.

What do Ballad Zells call "The Floor is Lava?"

The Zellislava

Coastal slavic nation. Shit tons of agricultural produce, nation is built like a staircase down to the sea so defense is easy.

I've got that stuff. I need some real plot hooks.

Unfortunately, large countries have little to no depth in their description right now.

Sooooo, how are simultaneous maneuvers in melee combat resolved exactly? I dont understand.

Two character declare aggressive/aggressive. They choose their maneuver. The initiative roll is a tie.
"If they tie, the two characters resolve their Maneuvers against each other simultaneously, with all Stun and Pain being deferred until after both Maneuvers go through (this has the great potential to kill both fighters!)."
This much I get. They fuck each other up.

"If one fighter wins, than he resolves his Maneuver first, applies all effects of that Maneuver against his opponent, and only afterwards (if able), does the other character resolve their Maneuver."
Wins what? When does a character resolve his maneuver first?

Initiative roll, I think

The initiative roll, which is an opposed ADR+Range Bonus+Misc roll.

Oh shoot. I read that completely wrong.

OOh, yeah.

Any houserules for ranged combat? Maneuvers etc.?

>that ayy lmao relief above his head
kek

As to what you asked: I don't really know what maneuvers you'd do in Ranged combat. Not like there are millions of techniques like there are in melee combat. You aim, pull, release, hit/miss. Or you aim, pull the trigger, hit/miss.
Then again, I don't know much about ranged combat. Maybe there is much much more to it.

I've been toying with different ways to make ranged weapons lose damage over distance. So a bow wouldn't have the same damage at ten yards as it would 300 yards. I'm still tinkering with the exact formula though.

Firing at a high enough arc to reach maximum range with a bow should mean that the arrow is coming down at terminal velocity, which is less power than a flatter trajectory would have.

The arc of an arrow is not that heavy unless you're aiming for range alone without any consideration for accuracy. Shooting for accuracy, which is how a bow would be used as opposed to Hollywood raining volleys, would be fairly flat.

>maximum range

>300 yards

You can still be decently accurate at that range if you're a well trained archer.

Yes, you can be decently accurate. But doing so requires a relatively flat shot, which means some power is going to be lost. That's why armor penetration, if possible at all, can only happen at extremely short ranges. You can conceivably shoot out much further, but you aren't going to be able to shoot accurately.

The best I can think of is re-adding Superior versions to ranged maneuvers.

Anyone run a game recently?

I'm desperately trying to get a Krajina game off the ground. Two weeks and we've had to cancel both times.

>You will never brutally oppress ciderniggers with your Slav-Norman friends

Sorry, Best Girl. The players are going down the route of revolting against the Krajini.

I can't wait to get my liberal friends to die for queen and country in the Void.

>not squatting on a boat and shooting anyone else who comes near you

Is this guy legit?

Dunno, but seems lacking in presentation skill.

This. Pretty stuttery and kind of awkward. I don't think he's spouting bullshit though.

Been real quiet around here recently.

What comic is the Op pic from?

Cyanide and Happiness.

Artesia.

Try Googling some of the proper nouns in the image along with "comic" next time

I'd have run one already but I don't want it to come off as corny, I'm trying to synthesize a medieval english and slavic accent and have it actually sound good.

Make sure the Albish half is Anglo-Saxon and not Norman English.

Jebus.

Welcome to Vosca.

How the fuck does he come up with this shit?

Not infiltrating and destroying Chironite cells while being directed and funded by a mysterious patron.

It turns out the patron is Chironite Internal Affairs and you're doing his wetwork for him.

So, Jimmy hates pineapple on pizza. I knew there was a reason I didn't trust him.

I guess everyone has his faults, user.

I know it's probably not real high on the priority list, but should missile ranges be looked at? The vast majority of Thrown weapon has equal or better range than a Hunting Crossbow, and a few have better range than a Heavy Criossbow, which seems ludicrous.

The thrown weapons have numbers from the old way of calculating range, I think. They should actually probably have a range of like 3.

I wouldn't mind seeing heavy x-bows at 20 range anyways and hunting/light at 15, though I suppose the aim bonus makes up for this a bit.

And my respect for him increases.

>not liking pineapple, bacon, canadian bacon, jalapenos, and onions.

Some guy in my group wants to play a two-handing club wielder. Will he survive? How necessary are shields in this game? How can I make it work as a GM?

Ohanedin, knobbed mace, light armor talent tree.
Alternatively, go as heavily armored as possible.

It's actually pretty valid imo, clubs (maces in-game) can be pretty hurtful and debilitating.

Ohanedin is perfect. I had not taken a closer look at the other races and hewmahn seemed to be too puny for the clubmeisterschaft.

Sounds good if you throw jalapenos out. I like my pineapples on pizza with lots of cheese and onions.

A human with decent armor would work too, but if you insist on a club and not just a mace or other blunt implement the Ohanedin build is both extremely powerful and close to fluff.

Patrician choice:
Broccoli, red onions, almonds cut into thin sticks and gently roasted, a spritzer sauce hollondaise.

>Broccoli
Never tried those on pizza. Are they good?

Depends on the cook and the quality of the vegetable. Just try it out. If your go to pizza joint is a little overconfident with the amount of topping, tell'em: Eh Marco, scoozi, not'a so many broccolis. Grazie.

>almonds & hollondaise
Does that beat Red Onions, Bacon, Pulled Pork, BBQ Sauce

New York style pepperoni only. Keep it simple!

Thanks for helping guys!

Lame as hell bro. How can someone with such an extensive maneuver list have such a limited toppings list?

Sweet Thai Chili Chicken 4 lyfe!

O-din are great because you don't really need to worry about your weapons DTN.

All pizza is good, as long as it isn't fucking Chicago style.

Why is it always ham & pineapple and not pepperoni & pineapple?

Chicago style's really just a flattee bread bowl.

I ran my first session last weekend.

Hawaiians are really into ham.

I like both. And bacon.

>jimmy stops by the thread
>only to shitpost about pizza
Where's our tepid tuesday loredump?

How is switching weapons during a melee bout handled?

Dropping a weapon usually costs no CP,. To quick draw a weapon, there's a maneuver for it under Weapon Attack maneuvers.

You're supposed to be able to draw a weapon over the course of one Action as a miscellaneous action, but that part was accidentally removed from 2.0. All it requires is you have at least 1 die in your CP. If you get overshocked before you complete it, it fails. That's also how you're supposed to get up from prone.

Does this include large weapons like 2H Blunt or Polearms?

Remember that you also choose your active proficiency at the start of each round.

Jimmy, you've forgotten to tell us the most important things of a fictional setting. The food. What's food in the Void now like? Are their swathes of frozen goods and cans lining Chironite department stores? Can I buy a sandwich for eighty shillings in Albion?

If you don't have answer, surely someone else does. For anyone that's run a game in the Ballad setting, what's food like?

>forgotten

But yeah, we don't know what farms look like in the Void.

That seems to be a Vosca rather than Void post.

Sinking into the depths is not what this thread was made for

I'd love to sink into her depths though.

SoS threads are a rare form of Din. Their focus is fechting and devouring lore nuggets as an Orredin would magestone.

When a thread is denied it's focus it becomes mortal again and ages until death creeps up in it's sleep as the decrepit Din lies friendless and alone.

Din accidental deaths must be real fun, like falling off a flight of stairs or ingesting the gold-cyanide solution instead of a beaker of water

>fechting
Btw have we had fecht in the newest 2.0 version yet?

What are the RS for surgeries (Difficult, Miracle, etc.) supposed to be?

on page 99 of 2.0 it defines the RS for performing a surgery as "Wound level x2", so wound level 4 would be 8 RS

...

Alright, thanks
