 I'm not seeing much resemblance? It does pretty accurately reflect their "What real-world nation is this part of the map a transparent stand-in for?" approach, though.

You don't see the resemblance because it is sort of a zoom in on the main area which is in the middle towards the top of the world map you posted. It's not a perfect match, but I'm pretty certain the artist was going for the connection, and I think the place names bear that out, but I'm not super knowledgeable about the setting. I prefer the original and superior fantasy kitchen sink, glorious Faerun.

Yeah, I'm getting really tired of the "bunches of spindly-bits and greeble" concept design style that's been popular as of late.

Seriously, I'm not asking for everything to look like an iPhone, have a Rubbermaid coating, or be Magpul-ribbed, but why does everything, especially something that's worn and has contact with the human body, have to be so sharp-edged?

Sharp angles are aggressive, it's all about conveying a mood rather than engineering a real mechanical device - it's the same reason a lot of cyberpunk images have big thick tangles of cables everywhere rather than a couple wifi antannae.

Real cyberpunks still use wires because a broadcast signal can by hacked by someone's head computer and they can jack your netrunner's wetware with some Black Ice! If you have no idea what this game is or never played it you have no business discussing cyberpunk in an RPG context

Veyrall posted:Actually, physical wires are still more reliable than wi-fi, if only because the very occasional interference that can slow down wi-fi devices isn't an issue with hard lines. As for cable thickness and number, you are probably right about it being an aesthetic choice. lol @ "very occasional"

Captain Foo posted:lol @ "very occasional" This. Wireless is bad for several reasons: - interference (which only gets worse as more and more wireless devices exist in close proximity to each other). - security (anyone in range can intercept your wireless traffic and decrypt/capture/redirect it relatively easily). - bandwidth (with few exceptions, the bandwidth of the average wireless connection is still vastly inferior to that of the average wired connection). If you're actually connecting to something important, you have no reason not to be doing it hardwired: a wired connection can't be intercepted short of physically tapping into the wire, won't suffer from interference, and will have dramatically faster throughput than a wireless connection. e; vv Captain Foo posted:not to derail too badly, but current wireless security standards are pretty good I'm hypothesising cyberpunk hackers/counterhackers here (security experts with futuro-software), but it's still trivially easy to snoop on wireless traffic these days even if you're not going to have an easy time decrypting WPAv2.

Security is also a non-issue (for the moment) because no one's come up with a good attack on WPA2 as far as I know. Bandwith is the real killer, and why you should laugh at anyone saying LTE will replace fiber "because it's so much faster!!!"

I don't want to get nitpicky about it, but it's less talking about the sharp exterior and more about how the ergonomics of the thing and how a protective helmet looks like it's made of a hundred pieces. There's other ways to produce sharp angles without making the whole thing look like it's made of razor blades glued together. If you look at how the HUD is attached, it's these sharp angled metal pieces that hang almost unsupported that run up against her face. A good blow or impact is going to cut her cheek wide open or break some teeth and that's without the whole thing being bent or shearing off and filling her sinuses with twisted metal and glass. Also, what's the swing-out top portion? Is it an unsecured NVG bracket? Why is something like that on there when it's likely that the helmet has that built-in?

Hi goons, could someone help me find some images to help with a campaign I'm writing? The setting is basically Medieval Fallout 3. Like if New Crobuzon was the wasteland, inspired by Mordheim and Warmachine. So the stuff I'm looking for is kind of pre-industrial not really steampunk or clockwork. Looking for landscape and character shots, kind of pre industrial scavengers? Pretty specific but hoping you guys can help!

Can't get enough of that Pathfinder map. Fair enough that they don't even try to hide what it all is, though. The published campaign about WITCHS land has you fighting real-world Russian troops (including possessed tanks) and Rasputin is a major villain as well as (of course) Baba Yaga. Inverse Icarus posted:I'm currently playing Legacy of Fire, which takes place in Drugs & Slaves, but my character is from ALSO WIZARDS. I'm running the PIRATES'n MORE FUCKIN PIRATES one except I transplanted it to Eberron so something other than obvious pirates showed up and the recurring enemy country trying to get ahold of the islands isn't objectively lawful evil. This is also because I forbade anyone from using alignments.

I don't have a source link handy for any of them, but it shouldn't be to hard to find them in a reverse google image search if you're after it.
