What are the worst tabletop artworks ever published

>>95959522 (OP)

>>95959522 (OP)
Cyberpunk V3

>>95959594

Came for this

>>95959581
I don't get this one, I assume this is some sort of lore assassination?

D&D 2024 is a strong contender no matter which page you open, or which official artwork you choose.

>>95959614
this is fanart, right?

>>95959536
Yeah that got replaced, along with the other work they did really quick.

>>95959640
this has been posted a million times by now. Have you been under a rock or are you a newfag?

>>95959594
Hahahahaha, wtf?!?! Hahaha

>>95959522 (OP)
Everything from "Thirsty Swords Lesbians" and "Yazeba's bed & breakfast".

>>95959665
Yeah, all of the art throughout the entire book is just dolls dressed up in "cyberpunk" fashion.

It's horrendous.

>>95959699
Nah that artwork is fine. And the joke is funny. Should have never been an official card but still.

>>95959711
The joke is gay men buttsex

So funny

Haha, they call each other bears and then firstfuck each other asses omg It's heckin hilarious

>>95959678
>Thirsty Swords Lesbians
>it's real
>it's even worse than I imagined

M-maybe the system is decent?

>>95959608
NTA, but yes, it's one of the worst lore rapes.

The Orzhov Syndicate was this incredibly cool guild that was part necromantic church, part mob bank, and was built around the idea that debtors couldn't even die to escape their debt; their ghosts would be forced to work it off.

At the center of the guild was Obzedat, the Ghost Council, an incredibly powerful group of spirits that were greedy, spiteful, and incredibly paranoid. Despite being already ghosts, the worked primarily via envoys and remained within their guildhall, a substantial fortress, all while keeping a large network of spies to remain one step ahead of their countless enemies. Despite countless attempts from many powerful foes, the Obzedat was deathless beyond deathless, because even the unlikely destruction of one of their number would just mean a replacement.

And some new planeswalker goes "hey, i can stab ghosts, i should kill all of them" and does so without any plan or any trouble and also becomes the new Guild Master because wouldn't that be super awesome?

It'd be kind of like half way through the Lord of the Rings, a random girl appears, grabs the Ring from Frodo, puts it on, and goes "Oh whoa, it recognizes me as its new master! All the evil in the land is over! You can all go home now, I'm gonna go play some pranks by turning invisible!"

>>95959522 (OP)

I don't get why this particular art is considered VERY bad, anyway. Sure, these are good orcs, and that it's quite a thing to change for old grognards, but beyond that it's decent?

>>95959536
I still don’t understand how that even made it into a PDF. Surely SOMEONE had to look at it at some stage in the process.

>>95959739
>And some new planeswalker goes "hey, i can stab ghosts, i should kill all of them"
They’d been setting up Teysa planning to oust the Obzedat since the Dragon’s Maze set stories, anon. She hired an assassin because of course she did.
>but they were just shoving Kaya in because—
No, anon. We have confirmation from the story team that Kaya was initially conceptialized TO BE the assassin that Teysa would hire. This isn’t a case of a planeswalker being crowbarred in and fucking up a story thread, this is a case of a planeswalker being created to fill the needs of the story.

>>95959746
I mean TBF it probably took about 10 minutes or so to mash those images up in photoshop. That counts as professional, right?

My favorite part is the random dog. He's there to really make sure you understand this is several things copypasted together instead of a cohesive image. Just in case you were retarded, I guess.

>>95959794
Gotta fill the gay couple quota, at the very least one per picture.

>>95959758
Someone who can stab ghosts does not fill the needs of the story. Removing ghosts is a common power on Ravnica, with mage-priests in several guilds being able to do so, and Kaya's only notable ability beyond that is the ability to pass through walls, something fairly unremarkable on a plane filled with ghosts.

Killing the Obzedat with a spunky new planeswalker is several hundred layers of lore rape.

>>95959807

This one is goofy, but cool.

>>95959739
They also established that the Obzedat had such mastery over law magic on their home turf that it completely negated the Guild Pact, a powerful binding magic created by an ancient godlike old walker.

>>95959807
I know the bar is really low but it's the best art from dnd5.5

>>95959739
Kaya is shit and poorly written but the obzedat were always going to get got because of Kaya, >>95959758 anon is right.
It's really stupid that they made Kaya the guildmaster, but they at least quietly mention Teysa did that on purpose too, so she could foist all the unpopular changes Teysa makes to take control on to Kaya.

Kaya herself is a shit self-insert by a 'sensitivity expert'(grifter) hired to tell WoTC employees they were racist. SHe's been fired, which is why Kaya dropped off the face of the earth recently

>>95959984

What's this?

>>95959816
Is it just me or does the second Elf from left have a left arm instead of right arm?

>>95959536
>>95959661
>>95959746
>>95959761
The individual images are competently done, the dragons, wizard, dog, etc. But they're just randomly collaged together and it doesn't make any sense

Talisman Adventures has some prime material

>>95959984
i don't get what's so bad about this - there's no black people?

>>95959794
>>95959816
It feels so unnatural to see black or asian elves and dwarves.

>>95960064

>>95959807
Yeah, I'm also gonna have to go to bat for glam mandolin Drew Barryelf here. It's a little silly for sure, but kind of in the exact way I think D&D should be silly.

Bards are supposed to be a bit flamboyant and out there.
It's probably the best visual depiction of the whole bard as a rock star thing I've seen.
Although considering most of them drop the pretense entirely and give the bard an actual electric guitar and a modern looking outfit; That's a pretty low bar.

>>95960127
The saddest part is, it also had plenty of decent artworks (pic unrelated)

>>95959794
>incredibly hot forge right next to what appears to be a reception/front desk
even if you took out the racially diverse gay dwarves I'd still hate this picture.

>>95959720
>gay men buttsex
No, it's that bear is slang for gay men with a particular appearance (big, hairy), and that a "Bearscape" card already existed before this gay one.
If you want to think about butt sex and fist fucking that's just your own mind (plus, anal sex and fist fucking could just be done in hetero sex/porn too)

>>95960110

Should be more jew-like, the dwarves

>>95959614
>>95959699
It's not just the subject matter, either. If you made the most hetero, masculine, violent shit, but it uses this art style, it would still look gay as fuck. This is art for toddlers, and disrespects the games they're in.

>>95959794
I could deal with black dwarfs. Plenty of settings I played in and created had desert dwarfs. Though, those were designed as a dwarfen ethnic group and not just squished black people. I guess this pretty mich sums up why modern attempts at ethnic fantasy races are such failures

>>95959696
Mike Ponsmith's wife at the time was big into doll customizing and the budget for V3 was so small they couldn't even relicense art from 2020 so 1+2 became dolls.

>>95960192
He finds gay men with that appearance unbearable.

>>95959734
Its PBTA with renamed dungeon world playbooks.

>>95960247
Beary good reply.

>>95959640
It's official but if it matters it was specifically a Pride Month promotion.

>>95959915
>>95959758
>They set her up to be a badly written DEI character, so it's ok that she is.
"But it was in the comics" tier argument, if in the LOTR analogy there was a line about "This girl who could totally 1v1 Sauron and control the ring easily" and then what other anon wrote happened it would still be bad writing even if it was technically "set up" earlier on.
This is also why it is good the movies cut Tom Bombadil

>>95959614
It's bizarre that WotC keeps finding and overpaying allegedly "professional" artists who can't do perspective or proportions to save their fucking lives.

>>95959522 (OP)
>>95959614
>>95959794
>>95959807
>>95959816
D&D 2024 should be cheating. It all looks like self-parody, like they were trying to overcompensate for something.

>>95959594
kinda sovl

>>95959594
>Thunderbirds are go!

>>95960110
See I don't think it's being Asian or Black that makes these images so unnatural feeling. Especially considering those particular pairings aren't especially uncommon. Gold dwarves already exist and are usually represented as black and (At least east) Asian elves is a pretty small stretch considering both are stereotyped as being slender, delicately featured, and elegant.

I think the real problem with this modern art is it removes all of the fantastic elements that normally make fantasy so fun
And it adds in only the boring parts of modernity.

>>95959816

In this art for example the example the elves don't look like elves not because they're the wrong race, but because they're all broad, chubby, and awkward looking with heavy features.
Elves have always had delicate sharp features regardless of skin color. If you actually want black elves look to models like Tyson Beckford or Grace Jones. Both are at least part black but also actually have the kind of features that elves would have.

>>95959794

This image's problem is it's unrealistically diverse. Diversity is fine to a degree, but a group this diverse is weird because no one actually gets in groups like this.
"Ah yes can't wait to hang out with my friends consisting of exactly a black woman, a black grandfather and his conspicuously red haired granddaughter, a mexican man, an asian woman, a white blonde woman, and a vaguely Mediterranean guy."
Said no one ever. Not to mention again none of the characters are attractive or evocative in anyway. They look like people you'd see at Wal-Mart.
Not outstandingly ugly but just someone you wouldn't look twice at. Which isn't good for art that's supposed to be about capturing the imagination.

At least that's my take on all this stuff as someone not particularly political but still doesn't really like the modern art direction.

>>95960282
These pictures can become much better if their actual coping, seething and hopefully not dilating are shown as speech bubbles.
>Father, why am I like this? Is this how I was meant to be? Am I forsaken?...

>>95960373
>"Ah yes can't wait to hang out with my friends consisting of exactly a black woman, a black grandfather and his conspicuously red haired granddaughter, a mexican man, an asian woman, a white blonde woman, and a vaguely Mediterranean guy."
You seem to forget the two gay dwarves with each other's beards tattooed, one of them having baked cookies.

>>95960490
I mean I didn't notice the tattoos specifically, but they don't really matter.

The cookies are a problem I'll admit, but it has nothing to do with a guy baking them. And everything to do with the fact that it adds to the incoherence of the image.

They're at a forge of some kind, apparently near a baking oven, with some sort of reception style desk, but one side is eating and the other side appears to be doing cartography I think.
If the artist himself can explain what the fuck is actually going on here I'll give him a goddamn medal, because it follows no logic that I'm familiar with.

>>95960684
>If the artist himself can explain what the fuck is actually going on here
I can explain, being both mentally ill and tired in general.
It's a combination of ideological pollution and an echo chamber. He gets paid to go down a checklist and make sure it all persists in the same picture. I am personally surprised he missed the tranny and the wheelchair. He has to take more than just meds.

>>95960705
It's not exactly the artist's fault, other than being willing to draw such a thing for a paycheck. Wotc gives all of its artists a huge list of things to include, so the actual scene itself is fairly fixed before they even give it to the artist. (See >>95959581 for an example.)The artist just gets to choose a layout. They can't even choose a style because the style is also dictated.

>>95959522 (OP)
Can someone actually explain what's wrong with image? It's gets posted as the main thing wrong with modern DnD but I don't get it. All I can assume is
>le nonexistent fantasy race must ALWAYS be portrayed as ebil!!!
or
>long brimmed hats and woolen capes in a desert setting? The artist is making them MEXICAN!!! I'm offended on behalf of wetbacks everywhere! Woke are the real racists!!!
Neither are really convincing arguments, especially when there's much worse examples.

>>95959522 (OP)
Traditional games?

>>95959816
>>95959794
How can people say that heterosexuality "dominates" entertainment when every prominent relationship in modern art and literature is gay.

>>95960946
>It's not exactly the artist's fault, other than being willing to draw such a thing for a paycheck
Don't delude yourself into thinking that the artists aren't complicit either, they didn't need to put their pronouns in their bio, nor did they need to switch from Twitter to Bluesky.

But, you do bring up a funny situation since the guy who did the art for Legends and Lattes also draws ratgirls with huge boobs.

>>95961132

I can't wait for the oil to run low enough that the world is plunged back into medieval times. The hope that this happens is one of the few things sustaining me.

>>95960211
Yeah its strikingly bizzare how everything leftist looks like it was made for toddlers but consumed by "adults". Reminds me of the commercials where they're doing goo goo ga ga baby noise jingles in the background

>>95959758
>They’d been setting up Teysa planning to oust the Obzedat since the Dragon’s Maze set stories
Yeah just because the author alludes to something doesn't stop it being shit writing.

>>95959614
WOTC is the king of shit art period. Even if you ignore all the urbanite bug people neo liberal nonsense in the cards, the art is utterly sterile and uninteresting. All of WOTCs art feels AI generated and frankly it probably all is at this point.

>>95959758
>>95959915

Shit writing is still shit writing, regardless of how planned out it is. Teysa pulling some kind of Red Wedding Knight Of Long Knives would've been contrived but at least forgivable since this is a fantasy setting where the lore is mostly an excuse to sell .02¢ of ink and cardboard to nerds for $10 bucks a pop and Teysa is at least a long running and popular main character with good design. Kaya is plot armor DEI bullshit.

It's no wonder Magic is becoming Fortnite The Gathering, because the only sets people care about anymore are crossover IPs from franchises that haven't been totally raped to death by shitlib mindsets.

>>95959614
I like the theory one anon had. He said what's really going on here is that the beholder is basically mind controlling all these people to act gay as one giant humiliation ritual purely for his own enjoyment.

>>95960373
>unnaturaly diverse
damn, in all honesty this might be the best assessment ive read
makes sense from why ive been having an uncanny valley feeling

same goes for the points about injecting the comfortable feeling of modernity and fantasy
some actual schizoid anon did the comparison of "old good new bad" but failed to say anything of substance except
>"muh shading muh niggers muh stock photo muh dynamic poses"
and while the last one did allude to some meaty point he just went off the rails in a spergout

i did take another look at the drawings in the nee dnd PHB and its not THAT offensive (except for a few outliers), since most of the static, modern and peaceful pictures fit in the background section, which would be a good place for them...

... save the fact that they dont present any nuance about the race
"the coffeeshop" fantasy is too generic and tells someone nothing about the race, save "omg theyre just like us" in whatever generic setting

like damn, id taken the two gay dwarves having their beard tattoos much better if there was another panel of them being the homoerotic berserker duo like Achilles and Patroclus cleaving through some bullshit chaff

dunno honestly what i want to say except see the diversity in action, like fuck yeah man, give me the combat wheelchair, but give me an action shot of it in action doing a sick drift with bladed wheels decapitating goblins

what i don't want is
>"look, an adventurer in a wheelchair!"
>"okay but what makes him cool"
>"uhhhhh, he's in a wheelchair! and aiming a bow!"

>>95959999
Post Rudykino.

>>95960705
man that slop image sure came out shit. lurkmoar.

>>95961838
Tracing is okay to some extent, this is beyon that extent. the artist should have made a completely different head, make it a gruff looking dude with a cowboy hat to match thelever-action, make it more transformative work, like also adding a more canine shape to the skull on the rocks, showing this guy specs into killing Garous

>>95960684
I'll have a crack. So the image overall depicts a magical smithy, kind of place where you buy your +2 warhammer. Right hand side of the image has normal forge stuff but the scale is all wrong because of fantasy idiocy (forge big enough to roast the room, don't worry about it).
Top left we have two customers arriving to discuss a commission with the smithy owner (logo on short back, not wearing heavy garb). I thought it was a kid at first, but the redhead has pocket tools: halfling filigree worker? She's the one who writes "deathfucker" on your mace for you.
Bottom left is where next door neighbour baker (and gay husband of smithy journeyman dude) has busted in to say "hey, tools down it's lunch time! I made pie-cookie-cakes!" It must be lunch because the customers are still eating their take out from elsewhere in this dwarf town market. Smithy owner guy is looking around as if to say "did you just come onto my forge floor in sandals and stop my workers? I'm gonna slap your shit"

How'd I do?

>>95962037
Can't rule that out completely. But I think Rullo simply drew each character separately and used pictures with different art styles to trace them, then photoshopped them into one. Why he messed up the clothes is beyond me.

If you take a look at his artstation portfolio it becomes clear he can't draw faces even if his life deoended on it.

Pic is from there not Talisman Adventures.

>>95959594
I liked Action League Now so I guess I can't complain. At least the composition is OK on it.

>>95959536
This is legitimately worse than the photoshop comping I did in college (which was not good). I'm just generally perplexed by this even existing.

Anything from BESM 3e, that shit looks like early 2000s "how to draw anime" book tier garbage.

Anything from the oldest editions of D&D. They're ugly chicken scratch that you can barely identify at a glance.

That one halfling from 5e, you know the one.

Not what you posted, because it is technically sound. "bad artwork" does not mean "Thing I need to whine about because I don't like it".

>>95962476
God Space Marines look so fucking stupid

>>95962619
>Anything from the oldest editions of D&D
Any post that isn't expressly something alongside of this is just shitposting.
The art is actual chickenscratch from a person with no talent or training, done in pencil.

>That one halfling from 5e
No I don't know, could be any Halfling.

>>95962476
>>95962484
For non 40K fanboys this looks like generic digital art. Not really noteworthy.

>>95962634
Amateurism is actually a fairly endearing style for artwork in my opinion. If it's presented as an in universe depiction of the subject by an untrained hand it establishes more than a more serious art piece.

>>95962582
No.
I really tried to give the dolls a chance, but they're simply bad.
Not "so bad it's entertaining", just bad.

>>95959758
>They’d been setting up Teysa planning to oust the Obzedat
And failing. It was obvious through the stories that Obzedat was much more than Teysa could chew, and it would need much more than clever planning to achieve that.
And we both know that the writers didn't give a fuck about the lore, they just wanted to show a black character kill slavers for the SJW points. This is why despite it being something that Teysa planned, she was barely mentioned, and this entire story was rushed because it wasn't even part of the main plot.
It's the same as killing two of the eldrazi by throwing mana at them.

>>95962484
It's generic and boring, but doesn't reach the depths of shit I've seen in earlier posts.

>>95959807

Why are they insistent on putting god damn wheelchairs into D&D? Can you at least get a "Wheelchair of Levitating" or some shit? Does the guy with no feeling below his waist still get stat buffs from a pair of magic boots he wears?

>>95963411

>>95963405
Dark in this context means his skin has been darkened by the sun.

Don't even pretend you don't know about the combat wheelchair for 5e.

>>95963470
I've never played D&D, my group of friends were more VTM, Changling and Cyberpunk types. All I know about it is from whatever PC games I've played that use one of the systems.

>>95963468
Doesn’t matter, from here until the end of time, “dark” means black.

I have a growing schizo theory that high-inclusivity is tactically used to dodge critiques of dogshit quality. What is sadder is that it actually works - retards ITT are hyperfocused on "muh blakkks" like a taunted WoW mob, but the actual shit like fucked up arms, fucked up proportions, weird uncanny-valley ass faces, unnatural poses and whatever else skirts on by, and its exceedingly easy to just say "bro stop being racist".

/v/ territory, I know, but fucking No Man's Sky redpilled me about this. Despite it being an absolute aborted piece of shit of a game that will unironically brick your PC if you let it, it managed to deflect a waaay too much fire just by triggering the chuds with inclusivity, and thus being able to write off actual critiques as schizophrenic ramblings of racist gamers.

>>95959614
This is one of the outer planes right? One of the good-aligned ones where everything is sunshine, unicorns, lollipops, and rainbows. Because that’s the only way I could see this working.

Its natural conclusion of the dogshit worldbuilding that has no real defined cultures in Faerune (a problem since the very start) colliding head first with modern audiances and breaking all facades - places like the Sword Coast were always cultureless tabula-rasas meant to be populated by fat American OCs. But you could have at least squinted and pretended that "oh its akshully Arthurian medieval realm of Europe", but when ethnicities appear, all becomes clear - it was always just Fantasy America.

>>95963679
That's not a schizo theory, that's just the truth. Companies hire these they/thems who used to make furry diaper porn on deviantart and can't draw for shit to tick diversity boxes with their self inserts, and use their mentality of taking criticism as a personal attack to shield the company from being held accountable for putting low quality work. But most importantly, it's to keep people from both sides talking about their product and exposing it to more people. Just look at how many nothing games nobody would have ever heard about if not for the fact they put black lesbians on wheelchairs in the book.

>>95963676

>>95964101
The perspectives don't align, the proportions of the clothes don't fit and there are multiple styles in one picture. I suspect the artist traced a separate picture for each character, layered the clothes haphazardly over it and then photoshopped it into one image.

My current theory is that WOTC is making shitty "diversity" themed art on basically every page of 5.5e because they desperately want to ragebait conservative types into free press via articles complaining about it. Disney and plenty of other companies do this shit to, WOTC doesn't care about gay people or whatever. Make something that looks ugly as fuck so people criticize it and retarded leftists will have to stand up since it's "their side" in the culture war. It's very sad and basically means that D&D doesn't have a coherent aesthetic and in 10 years this art will be looked back on as one of the worst artistic periods in D&Ds publication history.

>>95964235
So Black Panther would be the same character even if he was white then? Nice to know.

I know this is the daily "bitch about modern D&D" thread but I wanted to give a more genuine answer: Ironclaw 2e. A decent system you can almost sell to non-furfags with a nice low-fantasy renaissance setting ruined by its corebook's insistence on this weird wannabe weebshit artstyle that looks incredibly cheap. Especially compared to the guest artists they hired for JUST the species art.

>>95964358
I dont think he would be quite as cool.

>>95964358
Would you be alright with a hidden, hyper advanced nation hidden in the French Alps, led by a superhuman, genius warrior king who communes with the spirits of his ancestors?

>>95964235
It does. Its the continued bastardization of other culture's art by people who have no respect for it just to make brownoids feel better about themselves. You would never make this argument when telling other culture's stories so why is it suddenly ok when its the bong's or any other white nation?

>>95959984
The worst part about this is that it's on page two. It is literally THE FIRST THING you see when you open up the book at look at the introduction. I guarantee this image has lost them a significant amount of sales. It an incredible game about being wizards and this is what they put at the very start of their book.

>>95964393
Because guys like him are racist child molesters.

This art style might not be the worst but it's so fucking ugly.

>The worst part about this is that it's on page two. It is literally THE FIRST THING you see when you open up the book at look at the introduction.
lol, I thought you were joking, I had to go check :D Look at the state of it.

>>95964460
Not as stupid as calling the game's main metacurrency "Bennies". Or the use of "Power Points" for the spell system.
Still, I like Savage Worlds and it's not a big deal to change things up for specific settings, but still, some of these terms really suck.

>>95964445
I suppose it does look like stuff that gets posted on /r/comics on Reddit, maybe that was their intended audience?
"Bennies" is rustling my jimmies.

>>95964361
It's more Early Modern than Renaissance but concur

>>95964445
I fucking hate this comic so much even if it does explain the system decently enough. All these characters are retarded and ugly as hell

>>95964522
To me, it feels more like Renaissance, especially since pagan wolves and knights with swords and chivalry still exist.

it's a comic explaining the rules, by some fags who made a webcomic about their campaign and published their setting (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/281539/crystal-heart)
Honestly, the concept around the setting seems fun (working for an agency, powers linked to gemstones that can be swapped but also have mental effects)
But the art style is so utterly shit, it's the main thing that stops me from ever trying that setting.

I'm glad that most Savage World's official art and other settings have art styles closer to realism and pulp than this ugly shit. But I have seen many people sharing this comic as a way to teach rules to newbies.

That would actually be a strangely smart strategy if it was true or practical, but the actual truth is a bit sadder. Hasbro and most of the gaming industry (both traditional and digital) got conned and blackmailed into hiring more and more "consultants" over the past few decades.

I'm going to ask the question, frank and direct. Why are "they" so obsessed with pronouns? They accomplish nothing. I don't need to see (he/him) next to a CEO's name. I don't need to see "she/her" in the bio of a twitter artist I'm only ever going to speak to directly. And then you have this, where the character's pronouns are quite literally as important as their core pitch. This use of pronouns is as superfluous as, like... If I said, "my pronouns are he/him and I'm having a sandwich for dinner."

Are pronouns magical to them? Is that the thing? Are they power words?

>>95961132
>>95961144
Because you guys always complain based on your own bias. Shit like this, is basically pissing into an ocean yet somehow gets complaints for being too much.

>>95964361
The art in that book really is all over the place. Some of it is really great, while others are just offensive.

The first thing you need to understand is that these people are being manipulated. They are also, in a way, victims. There is a purpose for this entire gender campaign, and it is the same one behind the race campaigns: Divide people, create a smokescreen so people lose sight of who they should be united against.

What pronouns truly accomplish is to quickly identify who complies and who doesn't, who is "in" and who is the "enemy". It's such a simple way to divide people, and the ones who spread it don't even realize because they think the meaning is something else entirely, that it is about them, their identity.

>>95965408
>This only exists to divide people!

>What happened to Cyberpunk in early 00s?
The exists of Fuzion.
The fuzion project was just kind of a side idea, a way to create an in-between game that created common ground between people who wanted to shift from the lower power Interlok to the higher powered Hero.
If Christian Conkle, one of the primary devs on their DBZ game, is to be believed... and I don't see a good reason for him to lie about this, RTAL was hemorrhaging money after snatching up Bubblegum Crisis, DBZ, and Votoms, and all of them being even as far as indie game systems are concerned commercial flops.
Mike also once commented in an interview with a British wargaming magazine that their contract with Hero Games required that RTal publish one of their flagship games using the new system.

>>95965447
Sure. But you whined about dividing people, then explained why the way you divide them is good. So you're an idiot.

>>95965479
>>95965387
While it's nice that the owner's wife did the art, it makes it HORRIBLE to get into it. Newer splatbooks do a much better work of establishing a grittier tone that the setting and lore establish compared to the original artwork.

Ah, I see. Pondsmith, being the original weeb, wasted money on licencing anime he liked. If only he did it 10-20 years later... I guess making Elflines and Witcher games is all there's left for him to do.

>>95965506
Explanation is not justification, the only book to come out of Sanguine that I find even remotely tolerable is the one set in the 1920s where they had Lackadaisy as art director.

Mike's role now is to just bang college girls in west Seattle while pretending to run the company. Most game development is lead by his son Cody nowadays.

You do realize that latam countries other than brazil and argie are mostly genetically native right? Thats why they have the distinctive look to it.
And the only reason brazil and argentina are 99.99% euros, asians and slaves is because there was no large scale developed society to be dominated, so instead everyone got genocided and replaced by colonists and imported slaves.

That is most definitely mexican culture, more mexican than any of the juans screaming onions blanco

>>95966707
>are mostly genetically native right?
The Mexica, who are the origins of the name Mexico, are Nahua people (the largest native ethnicity in Mexico) and were not nomadic.

Neither were Aztecs, Mayans or Zapotec peoples. The next three largest.

Also not a single native nomadic group were pastoralists, or herders, like you defined. Domesticated livestock only came to North America after Europeans. So your entire premise is wrong. >>95963654

>>95959794
Technically speaking - which is the only thing that matters when judging art for a product - this is fine.

>>95967514
The problem is that it becomes bad. Because if you introduced someone to it, they'd think it's a TTRPG you play with your kids about friendly Disney-inspired adventures. Instead, the setting is about kingdom politics, religious conflict, the complexity of slavery, inbred nobles trying to consolidate their power, and other adult matters.
So, the art sells a much different depiction of what is being said. It's fine in a vacuum, but it's like if Warhammer 40k had the artstyle of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Fantastically ugly.

Anyway, watching people in this thread bitch about pronouns in 2025 is awesome, it's like a chunk of this board never moved on from 2016

Do you have to kill yourself ritualistically with a knife if I told you I don't care if you made a hispanic samurai, african gondorian and an asian viking hang out

Also you should film it

It's a cult. It's a faith-based religious cult. It's really just a way to show the cultists have power over you.

When you speak to someone you won't even use the 3rd-person -- you would be using the 2nd-person. These cultists want to police how you speak to your mother when they aren't even around.

When people tell me they "use" their own special 3rd-person-pronouns, I tell them that I have my own special 2nd-person-pronouns. I'll never used their pronouns ever when talking to them, but they'll need to use mine 500 times.

I tell them my special 2nd-person-pronouns are "My most excellent and all-knowing majesty" and "Our most excellent and all-knowing majesty".

It's funny because these faggots then tell me I don't know what pronouns are.

Not really. I dont care about the opinions of retards.

This has to be up there.

London is basically Cali for all intensive purposes as it suffers from the same multicultural brainrot. The Canadian Muslim also makes sense as the only reasonably manly looking dwarf is the swarvy looking dwarf while the only white one is the biggest soi cuck looking one out of all of them.

It's weird how London is seen by leftoids as a hyper ethnically diverse place when it's like 55% white and 25% east asian.

>London is seen by leftoids as a hyper ethnically diverse place when it's like 55% white and 25% east asian.
Ethnic diversity to leftoids simply means, "enough whites so I don't feel displaced, but enough browns so I can still be judged for my whiteness." There are plenty of cities in the United States which are 70-90% black, but you never see leftoids care about them because that's "too much" diversity.

>>95970705
Apologies for the double-post, but I'm still waking up and realized while cleaning out my coffee cup there's another point I wanted to make here, and this thread is in bump limit so it's not like I'm killing another thread.

>"enough whites so I don't feel displaced, but enough browns so I can still be judged for my whiteness."
This makes significantly more sense when you realize that white people, especially leftoids, are still acutely aware of "their" culture and wish to still impart it on their kids. What I mean by is - you know those pictures that larpers love to throw around, the ones of public schools where every single child is black or brown? While that still speaks to a demographic shift in the next generations, it's only half the story. Specifically, white people - even leftoids - are "sensitive" to "culture shifts" where their children are being raised, and those with the means to do so, leave for whiter schools. For Americans, the percentage of "vibrancy" before they leave is 20%, but for Brits and Swedes it can be as sensitive as 5%. Primary offered reason for leaving? "I want my kid to be raised with their native culture." Even liberal women say this.

Only the poorest and most bitter continue to send their kids to "vibrant" schools, everyone else quietly finds whiter classrooms. Why? Because it's not actually about diversity, it's about feeling "special" when the only thing you have to offer the world is your whiteness. It's no different than chuds who obsess over exactly how Aryan they are. Horseshoe theory is real. If these liberals had to live in "true" diversity they'd be in constant fear for their lives, and if they lived in homogeneity they'd disappear in the sea of white "mediocre" losers.

As a bong myself we are continually propagandized by our own state news to be against our own culture. Its either "Our history was filled with brown people so why do you care?" or "Well you guys were the big bad empire so you deserve for your culture to die and be replaced by the browns that you invaded 100s of years ago."

The rot comes from London where all of our media comes from and its basically a foreign city now. First time i went there was to help my GF move from her shoebox apartment to my city and the area was entirely filled with jeets. Me, her and my friend were the only white people there and honestly felt like i was in a different country.

lmfao up until that point in the thread it was very clear what the deal was. a lot of the art in this thread is just as shit as any other fantasy art but muh blacks and muh gays. 2nd post wasn't even a critique of the art, just the fact that Kaya exists. Try not to be so disingenuous, you're not clever enough to pull it off

No matter how much you may seethe, following alongside mainstream market trends does in fact improve sales.
The capital doesn't care for civil rights, only for profit, but the vast majority of people care for civil rights, specially the subsect demographics which buys the games akin to bg and monster hunter

>>95959614
i hate the d&d aesthetics because its bad, i hate d&d rules because its horrible, but it sure sells, it has sold to degrees which 3.5 could never dream of, even as every single other ttrpg shrinks massively as the zoomers barely took in the hobby, and much less alphas.

>monster hunter players care about lgbtiap++ being taught to children through their games

How gay are you dude?

>>95973603
Monster hunter players care about being capable of expressing their faggotry you fucking retard, the same as other games. They are all forms of self insert even if you deny it while playing your sword guy, its how people relate to forms of personal customization.

>>95973621
Gemma's giant milky tits prove that you're wrong, retard.

People like BG3 and Monster Hunter because they are good games not because of it promoting gay shit or minorities. Most people either dont care if its minor but straight up propaganda is vehemently rejected. Look at games like DA: Veilguard and Dustborn for evidence.

>>95973911
>existence of women

I'm not talking about some twink in the game that simply has a higher voice. And neither are you.

You're argument is that they/them/xe/xirs need to have pride parades in kindergartens and that MH players think that's just peachy. You're such a gaywad that you call it "civil rights" to talk to kids about gay bjobs.

I'm sure you'll defend the picture in >>95969261 if you are going to pretend to disagree.

>>95973966
They are good games, good games play well. The introduction of options which appeal to neglected part of the market means that part of the market is likely to add to your already existing market.

bg and mosnter hunter sold more because normal people are not obsessed with culture wars like you, they don't care if you can be a fag or not, except everyone who do want to have gay sex with a vampire twink will now be more likely to buy it.

You don't seem to understand how marketing nor markets work.

>>95974065
What the fuck are you talking about? i literally cannot decipher your degree of retard. I can read every word but none of them make any sense put together.
