This, basically.

Aragorn is ultimately fallible. He can miss shots, he can get his ass whupped. He doesn't rewrite the rules of the setting and has to bow to them.

The fact that he's awesome at a number of things and has the moral fiber of dragonhide just makes him kinda flat rather than gary sue-ish and even that falls away with how he interacts with the other characters.

Hard to say, I don't think he really interacted much with people who didn't already know him and was at best a deuteragonist, but at the very least that Inn-keeper seemed to have a poor opinion of him - as did Sam at first...

Realistically speaking (as realist as a paper RPG can get, anyway), would society, be it humans or dwarfs ever manage to prosper enough to develop technology and magic if they were under constant threats of a fuckload of monsters?

As I said, war definitely created the need for innovation but what really allow it to happen is an environment where people can dedicate their time to thinking. Development of nuclear energy, as you came up with, was fueled by war but Americans were able to do so because their continent wasn't directly affected by the war, so their primary production capacity wasn't affected, allowing funds and people to be sourced to project manhattan.

I don't know what are you comparing, but tropical areas has predators, even non-predators that are lethal like snakes, spiders and mosquitos. If you're comparing scandinavia and, say, phillippines, then you're making an unfair comparison between a continent with integrated trade network and vast resources, and small islands separated by ocean with limited resources (at least those easily accessible).

Hadn't considered being forced into a nomadic lifestyle. That'd definitely hinder progress, but then there is the chance the population will come upon a more suitable location to live eventually or stumble upon other nomadic groups, leading to cooperation or potentially devastating conflict.

Yeah, my knowledge about them is limited but it come to me that a bunch of nomads could be unified by one way or other, creating a force like the Mongols, pushing out the monsters from some area and making it their foothold for further progress.

3-player board games?

Anonymous Fri 22 Feb 17:59:23 2019 No.64783773 View Reply Original Report

Quoted By:

I guess I'm in a weird situation, but what board games work best with 3 players? My normal group is 3 guys, sometimes more, but usually just 3. I'm looking into buying a new game and I'm not sure what works best since most games I'm familiar with work better for larger groups. I'm aware Titan is best with 3 players, but I don't have my copy anymore and the most recent printing is, like 300$, which is about 200$ more than I'm normally willing to pay for a board game, even though I fucking love Titan. So, citizens of /tg/, in your collective experience, what good board games work best with 3 players?

Bonus if it involves rolling lots of dice, I love dice.

The Kea is the goddess of curiosity, cleverness, and experimentation.

Her followers are tend to be those scholars who dare to push boundries and seek knowledge with reckless abandon.
Those who amuse her are blessed with insight and endless energy.

To amuse herself she will often tease and prank other gods unraveling their plans simply for the challenge.

Quoted By:

The dragonfly is the collector of souls. He represents the beauty, sadness and inevitability of death. Those who have had near-death experiences or have recently lost someone dear to them sometimes claim to be visited by a dragonfly or nymph. His clergymen travel the realms preforming funeral rights, and granting undeath to those deemed worthy. They always keep their mouths covered with a cloth, which displays a design similar to a dragonfly’s mandibles. Necromancers and undead outside of the clergy are hunted down by shadowy mandibles

>...they routinely make one of the most nightmarish journeys imaginable as part of the ordinary business of living. For a start, imagine living in a world with no edges - no floor, no ceiling, no walls, and barely ever something large or tangible enough to even bump into. Just water. And then, when you need to eat, you raise the back end of your body and you begin swimming down. Just... down. Into a place so preposterously hostile to air-breathing life that it scares us just to think about. But they just angle their big, battering-ram heads down and plough into it. Until the light vanishes and the temperature plunges and every space inside them crinkles into dense, wet nothing with the pressure. They can spend ninety minutes down there. Ninety minutes in the gelid, crushing blackness, their every muscle dense as wood and black with myoglobin - a sixty tonne sarcophagus keeping a mammal's brain alive. And then they fight. They hunt out creatures we can only comprehend through tired references to old horror stories, and they rip them apart. Arms as long as trees lash out as they die, hooked suckers carving scars that will never leave. But the whales crush the monsters in jaws longer than you are tall, gulping down mounds of frigid, ammoniac jelly in a slurry of icy brine and marine snow. They have broken into hell and they have eaten the demons. And then they make their way slowly back into the light. Back to where the sun snakes through the water, and to the sound of birds. And there they roll, grey bodies scored with years and years of scars, nudging and bumping each other. And so they go on. Not because they are brave, or curious, or pioneering - but because evolution has simultaneously damned them to daily katabasis, and given them the monstrous power to overcome it."

SE 5a vs Albatros D V: Western Front 1917-18 by Jon Guttman. Duel 20 in pdf

Amid the ongoing quest for aerial superiority during World War I, the late spring of 1917 saw two competing attempts to refine proven designs. The Royal Aircraft Factory SE 5a incorporated improvements to the original SE 5 airframe along with 50 more horsepower to produce a fast, reliable ace-maker. The Albatros D V, a development of the deadly D III of 'Bloody April', proved to be more disappointing.
