D&D Demotivators Episode VII: BigHugeLabs STILL Doesn't Store Images

[Slipperychicken]

Another very different character who didn't use CHA as his dump stat:

The character Minmax from Tarol Hunt's "Goblins" http://www.goblinscomic.org/


DrewID

I think Minmax dumped all of his mental stats (that's pretty much his only joke anyway). He might have kept Wisdom at 10 so his will save wouldn't be total garbage, but even that's pushing it IMO.

[Shadow Viper]

I'm going to assume Loiosh is the dragon on the shoulder and the dragons in that series have two legs, not four like in the picture.

I was more asking to elaborate on Vlad, the charisma rogue.

[Arbane]

I was more asking to elaborate on Vlad, the charisma rogue.

Vlad Taltos, mob boss, assassin, and the hero of a fantasy series by Steven Brust, which starts with Jhereg. It's set in a culture of elf-like people (they call themselves 'humans', what we call humans they call 'easterners', and easterners sometimes call them 'elves'), and he's just a human (um, what we'd call human, that is) whose parents bought their way into (very minor) nobility.

I haven't read all of the books, but some of them are pretty good. ISTR it's based on an old RPG campaign of his. For one thing, he's thought through the ramifications of near-omnipresent magic, up to and including resurrection. (As I said, he's an assassin - he charges more if the client wants the target unrevivable, and a LOT more if they want the soul killed as well.)

He's a good charisma-based rogue because his main skill (besides killing people) is dealing with people - he's got connections all over the place, and he's very good at putting the right people to dealing with the right problems.

[Shadow Viper]

Thank you for the explanation, it is greatly appreciated! :-)

[Andezzar]

While she is not wearing a chainmail bikini and the armor covers most of her body, she still makes the typical WH40k mistake: She is not wearing a helmet. In a combat zone!

[Warior4356]

She clearly has a dead space esque helmet in its retracted form behind her head.

[Andezzar]

The point still stands even if the helmet is only retracted into the rest of the armor.

[Warior4356]

If you are going to fight you put the helmet on. However it may be very stuffy and suffocating to wear a full face helmet.

[Andezzar]

I agree, but there are even dust clouds in the background. So it does not look like she is far from the fight.

I don't know which SF work the picture is based on, but it looks like powered armor. Those usually have all sorts of environmental seals and/or life support systems. So even beyond protecting yourself from gunfire, there is good reason to keep the helmet on.

Compare to most games, it is realistic. Certainly better than a chain male bikini.

[alanek2002]

Given that its scifi, the armor having space for... large tracts of land isn't quite as bad as it would be with swords. Still works against small arms and light shrapnel.

[Warior4356]

What exactly is wrong with the armor it has a shield and a helmet as well

[Esprit15]

There's a group of people that see to believe that if you an tell anything about a person's sex at all through their armor then it is bad armor.

[jindra34]

What exactly is wrong with the armor it has a shield and a helmet as well

Maybe the fact that it has three slopes on it that intersect dead middle of the chest?

[alanek2002]

Don't want to rehash much, but armor tends to be designed to deflect when it can, and having 2 cones on the front catches things that would otherwise be deflected.
Anyways, Tax!

[Marnath]

There's a group of people that see to believe that if you an tell anything about a person's sex at all through their armor then it is bad armor.

If someone punched her there, or if she simply fell down on a hard surface those boob plates could drive right into her sternum, breaking her ribcage. A single chest bump area works better, is safer, and is how they do it in pretty much all of the DLC armor. The cerberus armor from ME2 is a good example.

[Kris Strife]

If you are going to fight you put the helmet on. However it may be very stuffy and suffocating to wear a full face helmet.

Well, if it is 40k, pretty much everyone but the tau and the imperial guard have a thing for melee combat, and the helmets tend to be face concealing with eye slots. This would basically destroy your peripheral vision, unless it was a fish eye lens (which has its own issues). Head shots being easier to prevent in melee than from a sniper, and you'd probably want your field of view to be unobstructed as much as possible, so you'd ditch the helmet.

[Andezzar]

I don't remember reading about lack of peripheral vision with the 40K helmets. If that were the case, making helmets with visors you can open would be much better than simply not wearing a helmet.

[SiuiS]

There's a group of people that see to believe that if you an tell anything about a person's sex at all through their armor then it is bad armor.

For EVA suits, of the technology to use ablative ceramics, it actually makes more sense for it to be skin-formed, than not. Especially when contrasted with Destroyer body form, the issue there isn't the armor but the ridiculous curvaciousness of the form underneath. Should be more muscle.


Maybe the fact that it has three slopes on it that intersect dead middle of the chest? It actually doesn't, though it's much harder to tell.

Nah. A hard fall would be disrupted by the shielding, and even if it wasn't, the ceramic would powder and absorb shock, and even if it didn't, the ballistic mesh would contain the pieces and maintain the form. It's remarkably solid armor, in the sense that it is worth remarking on.

Yes, it's solid. That's the problem. It doesn't absorb the force of the blow, it applies it to your body, and it is concentrated onto the smaller area of the bottom ring of those cups. Compare to the chest swell which spreads it out over a larger area.

This is the reason modern vehicles have crumple zones, so that the passengers don't take the full brunt of the impact.

[Slipperychicken]

I don't remember reading about lack of peripheral vision with the 40K helmets. If that were the case, making helmets with visors you can open would be much better than simply not wearing a helmet.

I would be more concerned with the pauldrons. Most of these guys (especially the ones who aren't wearing helmets) look like their pauldrons would crush their heads like grapes in if they lifted their arms too high.

Can you imagine this guy trying to do a jumping-jack without pulping his own head?

Given that Space Marine shoulder pads are made from nested plates that can rotate fairly freely by the looks of it, yeah, I can :smalltongue:

[Slipperychicken]

Didn't notice that bit. Is there a given reason for the size of the pauldrons, like all the redundant organs being stored in Space Marines' shoulders?

[Forrestfire]

They look imposing. The space marine armor is highly overengineered. Terminator Armor has the excuse of them basically being able to hunker down and tank nukes, but basic astartes don't really have much.

It might just me machinery in there, or a place where extra computing bits are stored. Or something.

Honestly though? The Space Marines are designed the way they are because they're a symbol--the living will of the Emperor and all that. The shoulder pads make them taller, and are fairly cool on the tabletop (at least to me).

[A Tad Insane]

Could also be a weird sort of mobile cover for a marine with a bolter, or something to cover the flanks of one charging in with a chainsword. Though it probably just is because it makes them look like master bad asses.

Shoulderpads for the shoulder god!

[Forrestfire]

That's a good point, especially because space marines don't need to aim using both hands (bolters have functionally zero recoil, they have super strength even before the armor, and the Black Carapace links them to the suit like a second skin, along with helping calculations most likely).

[Scow2]

If someone punched her there, or if she simply fell down on a hard surface those boob plates could drive right into her sternum, breaking her ribcage. A single chest bump area works better, is safer, and is how they do it in pretty much all of the DLC armor. The cerberus armor from ME2 is a good example.A single "chestbump" also increases the downward torque on the spine in the same way oversized breasts do by pushing the center of mass of the chestbump further from the fulcrum. Most "Realistic Female Armors" I see praised are actually male armors, which have problems with requiring a female to bind her breasts, and they don't fit the torso proportions anyway.

The way the armor's designed and segmented (It is NOT solid), it doesn't have the "Axe against the sternum" problem. I know the source of the "Boobplate breaks the sternum!" scare/argument comes from, and those particular pieces DO have that problem because they're a solid, inflexible piece - and the space between the breasts is also much narrower.

If a character in Mass Effect armor were to fall on her tits, the shape of the plates causes the breasts to press apart from each other and take pressure off of the sternum, not concentrate it onto it. Other impacts against the center piece not only have to go through the padding and tension on the center plates (Not an easy feat), but are then dispersed around and against the breasts as well.

[Warior4356]

Also ME armor is padded and comfortable also with super strong ezo tech that armor is like wearing plastic so yea

[SiuiS]

Yes, it's solid. That's the problem. It doesn't absorb the force of the blow, it applies it to your body, and it is concentrated onto the smaller area of the bottom ring of those cups. Compare to the chest swell which spreads it out over a larger area.

This is the reason modern vehicles have crumple zones, so that the passengers don't take the full brunt of the impact.

You missed "ablative ceramic" and "ballistic mesh". It's solid armor in the slang sense of being sufficient, efficient, and highly functional. Any blow must first have enough impetus to survive having its momentum leached away, then deal sufficient force to survive beig dispersed rather evenly across crumple-one ceramics, then continue to do enough damage to pus inward despite this dispersion and also penetrate the balistic mesh, and still somehow leave enough ablative armor on the exterior to be a problem.


Didn't notice that bit. Is there a given reason for the size of the pauldrons, like all the redundant organs being stored in Space Marines' shoulders?

I believe the actual reason was to five the miniature figurines the appropriate imposingly masculine shape while staying in the limits of miniature manufacture at the time.

Reality says bolters have very little recoil (enough to get the bolt near the end of the chamber before it starts up the rocket or something), but WH40k says bolters will tear your arms off if you're not a space marine, and human-sized ones have a lot of recoil.

[NEO|Phyte]

They're hybrid rounds. A traditional gyrojet is less effective at point-blank range as the round has little to no time to accelerate, so you give it a push out the barrel like a regular bullet.

[Warior4356]

Phew thats a relief

[Feriority]

The explanation for 40k pauldrons is simple. What's the most common tactical mistake a space marine makes? No helmet. But with pauldrons that big, you have effective helmet coverage from two directions! And you're a space marine - anything directly in front of you is dead anyway. All you have to worry about is cowardly attacks from behind, and death from above.

It also features eye-catching angles and outlines that further separate it from the rest of the image.

The girl, on the other hand, is slightly out-of-focus, off to the edges of the image, has similar color tone to the background, is full of 'noisy' details and natural lines that draw attention away from her, and isn't showing T or A (Which, while it may sound crass/sexist/whatever... well, humans are biologically hardwired to quickly notice such things, especially the former, from the moment they're born).

The biggest reason anyone would have a chance of noticing her first is because she's showing her face, which is something humans are ALSO biologically-hardwired to quickly notice above and beyond any other compositional concerns.

That said, more demotivators, less armor discussion. >.> <.<

The suits are EVA suits with armor playing that is coincidentally the best possible for the job at hand; it's designed to protect you from high velocity wedges and such, to survive small cave-ins and bumps with space debris, and to protect the sealed environmental suit from accidental rupture or abrasion that would compromise it's integrity. The military hardware (which is indeed available without DLC) is less bulky, and with a broader array of fitted plates rather than the bulky bands of the engineering suit, and use binocular vision rather than a face plate with buttressed plating, but it is indeed armor in the sense that it is designed to protect against concussive blows.

Steel girders which are bent out of place snap back when cut, and metal can shatter, after all.


They made Monks psionic?

Yep! It's not a far cry from their normal fluff either, if you think about it. I know a lot of folks who used the psion and psychic warrior in place of the monk and contemplative monk classes and didn't really notice the switch. Or maybe they bolted casting onto those classes? One of those.

I think the overall point that all three of these comic make is in any sort of enviroment where you can gain a higth advantage and sneak up n the enmies. No matter how good the dm is you can kill everyone quite easily

EDIT:Upon rereading the dnd fall dmg rules i am remined hiw irked i am by them. I say that i have to drop a 5 lb object 70 ft to do 1d6 what if that 5lb object is sword what then.o sword to the brain.

They made Monks psionic?

Yep. They just happen to not follow the same rules as the other psionic classes (psionic classes replaced encounter powers with more at-will powers and more power points to augment at-will powers, but monk doesn't have power points and just gets standard encounter powers. They actually have a unique system of their own where a lot of their powers have move uses and attack uses).

I think I remember seeing someone mention that in V:tM, there's some incredibly powerful vampire ruler whose combat stats are literally listed as "you lose".

[Andezzar]

I think I remember seeing someone mention that in V:tM, there's some incredibly powerful vampire ruler whose combat stats are literally listed as "you lose".I think that is only Caine. The antediluvians are not statted but there is a maximum even they cannot exceed (10 in everything).

[BWR]

It's been a while since I read up on V:tM but IIRC 10 in any Discipline pretty much guarentees an auto-lose for PCs, unless they've somehow managed to diablerize an Antediluvian themselves and get 10 dot powers themselves.
And that made me think of this (http://playersofdarkness.yuku.com/topic/797/When-Antediluvians-attack#.UpexP-J2WM0).

unless they've somehow managed to diablerize an Antediluvian themselves and get 10 dot powers themselves.Wouldn't that be part of the SOP for the "if it has stats, we can kill it" scenario?

[BWR]

The main thing is they have to find and sup on an Antediluvian first - they can't work their way up to that level on their own like you can in D&D. And unless the ST really drops the ball on that, they won't find an Antediluvian just lying around waiting to be eaten. And if the ST allows them, then it's basically just another "I let you guys win because" scenario.

Old Man Henderson, the man who Won Call of Cthulhu Forever. If I remember correctly, 1 milli-Henderson is now the standard unit for measuring campaign derailments (EG: "Bill's paladin died, so we kidnapped the princess, ran off and became pirates" is roughly 3mH).

Actually, common derailments are measured in decimal Hendersons rather than milliHendersons--that one would be about a 0.3 or so. One full Henderson is equal to Total Plot Derailment; any higher, and you start getting into the theoretical realms of derailments beyond the capabilities of normal parties (with an exception for the rating of 1.25H, a special rating reserved for derailments that cause the DM to initiate Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies).

Our crowning moment of Henderson so far has been to engineer a derailment so massive, we've switched DMs, game systems, campaign worlds and are soon ending the meta-multiverse.

The "Directors Cut" on that page is even better than the highlights reel Waffle-House-Millionaire provided the first time. It gives the Henderson Saga an external perspective that only serves to expound the insanity of what happened.

Somewhere out there, in the unknowable realm such things come from, Henderson is chilling out with Boxcar Joe, The Magic Hobo (http://i.imgur.com/4JNg3.jpg). And Waffle-House is their prophet.

Reminds me of the story of a player in a d20 modern game who declared they'd buy some explosion resistant light body armor and strap C4 blocks on it. If they were ever surrounded in combat they'd detonate the C4 and use evasion to escape taking damage. If they did fail their saving throw they'd rely on the explosion resistance of the armor to save them. Might have been on these forums I read this story.

It is a misquote, funny, and can mean multiple things, none of which are rude.
If the mods find that distasteful, I'd say we need to hire less snobby old british spinsters and mothers from the 40's to be moderators.

Would anyone like some fuuuuuudge? :smallwink:

As a resident of a Midwestern college town, I take offense to these slanderous comments. It is just like you coastal, urban yuppie bastards to mock the hardworking people holding blue-collar jobs, and then go on to stoop so low as to call the remainder hipsters. Reprehensible.

Could a planet this close to its central star even hold a ring system? I could ask my room mate (astro physics major), but I am not going to wake him for that.

Looking at it, I'm pretty sure the rings ARE the planet, as it's being pulled apart by the sun.

Brilliant! I also woke him up by making coffee with my obnoxiously loud coffee pad machine. (Also he is not annoyed by questions, I think!)


Looking at it, I'm pretty sure the rings ARE the planet, as it's being pulled apart by the sun.

I am pretty sure it's not. Why would the ring stay in a perfectly equitorial orientation? Such rings are "space debris" (because I won't start to classify asteroids and such at 5:30 a.m.) caught be the gravity of the planet. It seems that the sun SHOULD have a more powerful gravitation, but I am not sure.

I just want to know if there's a zone where ring systems are not possible.

It really shouldn't be that hard to get an instant answer on an astrophyiscal problem on an forum devoted to roleplaying. Jesus!

Indeed, this is correct.

It's an accretion disc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretion_disc)- they're more common with stars near to black holes, but a gas giant by a smaller star could get one too, I suppose.

At any point where the force of gravity from another celestial body is greater than that of the one you're trying to form a ring around. :smallwink:

It's a Pulsar Planet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsar_planet); one of the three orbiting the pulsar PSR B1257+12, to be exact. Image is from Wikipedia, I don't know where they got it. But it's an artist's conception.

And regarding the second one, it's another exoplanet, a gas giant that orbits freakishly close to its sun - a "hot Jupiter". I can't remember quite where I got the image; it might be WASP-12b.

These were mainly just images I had floating around on my computer, that I decided to caption and post in a successful attempt to get the demotivator thread moving again.

And since I feel awkward posting without contributing:

Because I don't see a ring system in the first, or any planets being pulled apart, whereas I do see them in the second one, where it's simply Saturn and Jupiter colliding. :smallconfused:

We were talking about the second one. It's not Saturn and Jupiter colliding; it's an extrasolar planet that orbits so close to its star that it's getting pulled apart by gravity. As for the "rings," someone already pointed out that it's an accretion disk, caused by the planet's matter being pulled into the star.
